:rolf:

oh, btw.... ThunderCat's only post in here, number 8:

Just to clarify something. This is all YAWP's game. He gets the credit for it and/or gets kicked in the nuts if something goes wrong. I did not work on the roles/mechanics or anything like that. I'm here just to make sure the game is balanced and to fill in in the event that YAWP cannot make it.
Or in other words: RESERVED

dude, way to go with throwing your partner under the bus like that! geez!

Actually, the Lynch vote numbers were because I got them wrong from previous games. But since you brought up the painful lack of lynches in Gorny's game, I think I'll leave them for the time being. Wowwiki, wowpedia, doesn't really matter much. You'll get the gist of what's going on with either.

@Sathoris

I think 1d6 means the roll of a 6 sided die. In other words, it's a random number between 1 and 6, inclusive. The other numbers come from the stats given the combatants. Since equations and text document systems don't often work well together, I think the following may be a bit easier to read.

Attack:
# injuries = 1/2 * (attackerDPS - defenderTank + random() - random())

Defend:
# injuries healed = 1/2 * (defenderHPS - attackerDPS + random() - random())

Retreat:
If (attackerDPS - defenderTank + random() - random()) < 0, then retreat was successful.
Alternatively:
If (attackerDPS + random()) < (defenderTank + random()), then retreat was successful.

There are still about a billion other questions regarding combat, but we'll probably have to see combat happen before we know the right questions to even ask.

I'm pretty sure the Illusive Man doesn't interfere with the game. In Mass Effect 2 the Illusive Man is the guy 'behind the scenes' giving orders and controling all of his assets. It's just a reflection onto the moderator.

YAWP's avatar is the Illusive Man, so I agree this is probably the explanation.

Re: Y.A.W.P's Warcraft Themed Pen 'n Paper RPG style Mafia Game Game Thread

I wonder how we are able to initiate combat? My role said nothing of such ability, so I guess some roles (dps, perhaps the mafia too?) have the ability to do so... If I could, I'd go out and test it. I've dreamt of giving Leo a good can of whoopass anyway.

To get another commonly discussed opening theme off the way, I'm guessing there's no more than 3 mafia that may or may not be able to recruit once or twice. Due to balance reasons I doubt there is another killing faction, even a pro town vigilante, a "triumvirate" of sorts would be more than enough. On top of that we propably have a healer (doc), a tank (bodyguard?) and most likely some "dps classes" that are able to initiate combat at will.

Forgot to put in the previous post...

Are you just adding flavor, or do these things mean something? You've talked normal, so a post restriction seems out. No clue as to anything WoW and I can't get to the wikis at work, so forgive me if those are obvious whatevers to everyone else.

Time for me to stop observing and get involved.

First day is nearing halfway, and we haven't even heard from all players yet. That may not be so strange given how busy everyone must be preparing for the Christmas holidays, but if activity does not pick up, we're bound to have trouble, with no lynches, or having to make uninformed lynches.

In the games I'm playing on mafiascum.net, many deadlines have been extended due to Christmas and the New Year. We may have to do something like that here too. This game looks interesting, and I'd hate to have inactivity hurt it. Since the first night will take most of Christmas Eve, it would probably be safest to extend that deadline by 24 hours, or even to extend the first day itself.

nurman seems to have gotten a temporary ban by mouthing off with Thyiad around. Hopefully he will gain his posting privileges back before the day is done, so we won't need to have him replaced.

There have been surprisingly many hints given how early we are in the game. I have some ideas of my own about what we have to deal with, but I'm not yet sure if I should share them - at this point they are no more than informed guesses anyway.

Most of the game lore seems to be from Warcraft III or WoW, and I have little experience with those. Gorny's Tauren speech was completely unintelligible to me, for a moment I thought it was Comanche or something. His latest bit looks like Klingon. By the way, I intend to ignore the Mass Effect stuff unless it starts to look like it plays an actual role in the game. I find it rather odd, if the mod was going to use some persona, I thought he'd choose Medivh or someone else from Warcraft.

For now, Noodle and Nolecub have yet to post, and others I've heard very little from. To get some discussion going, perhaps I should give a hint. There is a specific word that appears several times in YAWP's first post in this thread. See if you can find it, and whether you find it as interesting as I do.
