So for the lazy people, you actually have to send a mail after saying you'll sign up here.. I ofcourse did it im*cough*mediately.

Zhao, let's make a suicide pact, if we both make it to day 5 we chat about it merrily at night :D
 
Re: OT: SPF mafia round 7 - Return to Salem - discussion & signup

Aman is the new Zhao.

I want to re-read the rules before I decide on joining this one. Seemed to be a bit more complicated, but that could just be due to colouring everyone mafia.
 
Re: OT: SPF mafia round 7 - Return to Salem - discussion & signup

So you are no longer part of team Aman?

Good to know :D


Just hurry up and sign up allready sitro :p

I won't make it that far, if I make it to Day 4, I'm going to lynch myself out of mistrust.

Why stress out so much? I'm just going to prepare a list of pre-determined statements and jokes, and each time I need to post, choose one of them by rolling a dice.

Funny. I use that tactic for almost all my posts. First, the magic eight ball.
'Should I answer this post?' I think the prospects are profitable. 'Ah, ok, yes.'
'Should I rpely to this other post then?' Dire events await... 'Ok then, I'll take that as a yes.' See how my logic works?

Yeah, I got a zinger all written up to cast suspicion from me and throw it somewhere else.

Well, I think it's obvious why I've been avoiding certain people and sidestepping these accusations. It's because...OMG look over there! Is that a puppy playing with a balloon!? How adorable! Let's all take bets on how long she can play with it without it exploding in her face.

That's guaranteed to buy me another day and a half. Then, it's roleclaim time. Any bets on if I can pull of "I'm the Dolphin Trainer. Every night I get to saddle my dolphins and ride them around the town, keeping the mafia at bay with their playful chirps and human-like smiles."

"I'm the Electrician. I plug my "cord" into your wifes "socket".

In all seriousness, though. Any bets on dash living through the first night? It seems to be a popular thing to NK me on the first night in the community forum. HOpefully that doesn't translate over to the SPF as well.



 
Re: OT: SPF mafia round 7 - Return to Salem - discussion & signup

OH good, it's not too full of bizzare wierd game effects and the days should go by quickly, but may I please make the suggestion of at least 1 post a "day" as opposed to one per 24 hours? By definition everyone would be forced to night kill themselves the first night....

hmm, just inspired by an interesting thought. What if there were a "daily" max posts? Say something nice and high like 10, but a way to limit the converstion take over that results in normal folks giving up on reading the 16 pages written in the last 20 minutes. It might even force people think about what they post rather than just triple posting.

ps. I'm in, sendign e-mail later today though, unless the pm.s count :hopefulsmile:?
 
Re: OT: SPF mafia round 7 - Return to Salem - discussion & signup

The main problem and also the thing that pretty much puts a stopper to the plan of having max posts (IMO) is that you will always have to calculate in advance. People will take advantage of it by pushing others to answers or waiting quite a bit and talking more later in the day when others may have used up most of their posts. Even with a max of 10 posts you have to save what.. 2 or 3 in case of an emergency, expect to use 1 or 2 at the start of the day to get things going, then 2 or 3 if you have suspicions on someone, 1 or 2 to fend some people of your back.. and then suddenly someone claims cop.. you just used ~8/10 of your posts.. should you participate in this turn of events?
 
Re: OT: SPF mafia round 7 - Return to Salem - discussion & signup

I have a simple way to deal with excessive spam in these threads. I don't read it.

So before you post 84 times think ... TLDR.

Make a post with a point, it'll get read. Make 14 .. not a hope. :smiley:
 
Re: OT: SPF mafia round 7 - Return to Salem - discussion & signup

I have a gmail account named muzzzspf where you can contact me if my PM box is full.

Above statement confused me thus the PM sent :rolleyes: will read more than one time next time...



 
Re: OT: SPF mafia round 7 - Return to Salem - discussion & signup

Can you clarify whether that's a gmail account or a googlemail account, muzzz? :grin:

I need at least 50 posts a day to gather the most liq-hating antagonists I can. Oh, and just to pour salt in the wound, anyone that can't keep up is going to branded as "inactive" or "low-lying mafia" and dealt with accordingly.

*points at w_m and rakes hand across throat*



 
Re: OT: SPF mafia round 7 - Return to Salem - discussion & signup

A limit to the number of posts? You might as well ask Zhao not to play ...

I need a high quantity to lay the foundation for my innuendo, hearsay and conjecture. You're not just reading and enjoying my tidbits of information, you're experiencing them.
 
Re: OT: SPF mafia round 7 - Return to Salem - discussion & signup

I am most definitely in, as is maatiarna (should make merlin happy :p)

Of course, I won't be forcing anyone to post at night. But the antagonists need to talk at night, which only lasts for 24 hours. Therefore, anyone who can only check in once each game-day (48 hours) would be a severe burden to those groups.

I did consider that for a short time, but decided it wouldn't fit with the rest of the rules. Given enough interest, I might try to host a round of "lightning mafia" at some point. 20-24 hour days, 2-3 posts per person per day max, mandatory voting. I think not knowing when exactly the day ends + dying if it ends before you vote = enough to prevent serious "camping" of posts. Methinks it would be interesting, but better suited to a simpler set of rules.

And eh, I wouldn't have enough players if I banned the PMers. But I prefer receiving emails, so that neither of us have to worry about your PM box getting full.



 
Re: OT: SPF mafia round 7 - Return to Salem - discussion & signup

I am soo happy, I am positively swooning with delight. Either that, or sleep deprivation, but at this point, who cares? Let's see if I can type that email message to muzzzzzzzzz, (oh, typing zzzz is such a trial!) signifying I am in.
Curious to see what kind of role I could get. Perhaps a cute little girl by day, turining into a vicious werewolf undercover policeofficer who hunts those careless dogowners who let doggiedoo litter the sidewalks without cleaning it up. Or something amongst those lines. Oh wait, I wasn't going to be a cute little girl. Ok, dips on the cute little boy then. Too bad, I love my dresse... Oh wait, another forum that one. Never mind :P
