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

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

Votes has been updated.

I see my vote wasn't counted. It looks valid to me, but maybe someone else can double check.

I don't expect a lot of action until tomorrow - seems like New year's is absorbing the entire weekend. Goryani, I'[d be interested in seeing your lengthy post.

I was working on responding to Sathoris. However, I don't think my reply will give any more info, will prompt for any more info, or will do any better job of explaining why I voted in the first place.

I had finished my replies to Ankeli and Uraj at the time of the pause button. Here they are:

I'm with Noodle regarding extensions and such. Drunk posing FTW!

Anyway, Goryani, seeing as Dragomir bit it and he was the other one to give off information about the cult, I'd spill out as much as I could during this day phase if I was you. I'm telling you to reveal all your cards, and trusting on the doc. We need all the info we can get, especially if we were originally facing (still are?) 2 recruiting factions.

Good point about the doc. The doc shouldn't try to save me. I'm not worth saving since I'm just a Peon.

I know what I know because my role says so. I believe Dragomir's role also said so. Short of naming the two recruiting factions I don't see what other factual information I can share regarding recruitment.

I don't know who the recruiters are. I don't know how many started the game in each faction. I can't tell if anyone gets recruited (no kill night being a recruitment is speculation on my part). I don't know if members of a faction know the other members. I don't know if members can night talk to each other. I don't definitively know the alignment of either faction (one pro-town, one anti-town is a guess, but a strong guess).

I'm not sure Gorny actually had a power role. The name Ogrim Doomhammer by itself seems important, but to me the Rogue Adventurer was the role. Which I would take as saying that he had a DPS role. The only thing I found that might have indicated he had more than a basic role started with a post where he capitalized Vendetta mid-sentence. He later linked the Vendetta Rogue skill that apparently "Marks an enemy for death." Though he also could have just been hinting he was a rogue. Along those lines I think some of the youtube videos might have been to hint that he was Ogrim Doomhammer.

Do you have any other thoughts to suggest Gorny indeed had a power role?

I would bet that Gorny had a power role. There are a number of reasons. To start with, others believe the same thing. To give my own reasons:

I believe that DPS roles ARE power roles, even if they have no other abilities. DPS roles can initiate combat and possibly do a good job of causing injuries. Cause enough injuries and a DPSer will either kill someone or cause them to rest. Resting, YAWP said, prevents the resting player from performing any other night action. It sounds like DPS roles are sometimes vigilante/SK and sometimes roleblockers. That meets my definition of power role.

I had finished my replies to Ankeli and Uraj at the time of the pause button. Here they are:

I'd like you to name the groups if possible. My role description gave me possible knowledge of one role's name, and I'd like to compare my information with yours.



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

The wording of sacrifice implies to me that you either suspected or knew he was town. Do you think knowing Nolecub's alignment will lead to knowing who is a mafiaoso/cult member? If yes, who and why?

How about a reply Leo?

Well, there is a comma after Bad Ash so perhaps your vote was omitted by mistake.

Would you consider the Townfolk of the Wild West Mafia Game power roles?

*ot* ungh, having a horrible flu at the moment, so I won't be posting posts that make THAT much sense */ot*


Goryani, any idea on what the "tanks" would be then? Or healers?
 
Re: Y.A.W.P's Warcraft Themed Pen 'n Paper RPG style Mafia Game Game Thread

Such a pity that we apparently cannot have fights until YAWP gets here, and he still has not been online this year. I wonder what the problem is... don't you have all the player data, or is there something about the mechanic you don't have notes for, TC?

At this rate this won't be a very productive day at all, though there are a few hours left. I can always hope for activity to pick up as the end of day approaches.

I've been somewhat satisfied with Goryani's play and replies today, so I'm not as suspicious of him as I was. My reasons for trusting Ankeli originally were flawed, but his recent play suggests he is more likely town anyway.

At this point, Uraj is the player I have the weakest read on. nurman is also a strange one with his weird and specific questions about silly roles.
 
Re: Y.A.W.P's Warcraft Themed Pen 'n Paper RPG style Mafia Game Game Thread

I only know what role everyone has, except names. I do not know stats, I am not aware of any immunities or abilities YAWP might have implemented after the final sheet of ideas he gave me. I don't even know what PMs he sent all of you. So all I can do is tally the votes and end the day.
After the day ends, a 24 hour freeze of the game will happen. If YAWP doesn't get back by then, I will open discussions and see how we should proceed. In just a few words, night time won't start unless YAWP gets back.

Yes.

We've been given hints about side effects from injuries, which is the forte of DPS roles, but haven't been given other hints which might be applied to tanks or healers. Your guess is as good as mine.

Tanks...cop?
Healers....doc?

Healer <-> doc seems logical. I have a hard time placing cops into any dps/tank/healer classification. Tank <-> bodyguard seems a better fit. Maybe some other busdriver type role.



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

I wouldn't be surprised if the tanks have some sort of immunity, either to lynches or night kills. Maybe a chance of immunity, since they can die in-game after taking massive damage? The healer - doc relationship seems imminently logical.

haha, been to the Compound as of recent? ;)

How about a reply Leo?

how about a... ok, you got me. idk what to say here that's teasing. and i have to re-read the question about Nolecub as i have forgotten it. give me a few please. :)

Tanks...cop?

Healers....doc?

healers being docs seems plausible. idk about tanks being cops tho.

Vote: Sathoris

This is the only lynch I believe has a chance of occuring and maybe Gorny's suspicions were correct.
 
Re: Y.A.W.P's Warcraft Themed Pen 'n Paper RPG style Mafia Game Game Thread

Another day gone, and no sign of YAWP. Damn, I wanted to see the outcome of that fight, I'd think we could've gained some insights from it.
 
Re: Y.A.W.P's Warcraft Themed Pen 'n Paper RPG style Mafia Game Game Thread

Day has ended.

Game is now frozen for the following 24 hours.
 
Re: Y.A.W.P's Warcraft Themed Pen 'n Paper RPG style Mafia Game Game Thread

More than 24 hours have passed and YAWP still hasn't been back. So, we can either keep the game paused until the time he gets back, or we can simply end the game calling it a draw. You may post regarding this issue and this issue only or you may PM me about it and try to reach a conclusion.
 
Re: Y.A.W.P's Warcraft Themed Pen 'n Paper RPG style Mafia Game Game Thread

YAWP is a moderator in the Shaman forum on the incgamers WoW site, and he hasn't logged in there since the first. I hope he's OK. I'd like to give him a couple more days, see if he emerges.
 
Re: Y.A.W.P's Warcraft Themed Pen 'n Paper RPG style Mafia Game Game Thread

I also checked the WoW site for when YAWP was last active there. Considering his moderator status, I don't expect he would completely flake, so I agree with waiting for a while.

There is of course the possibility of us all simply sending our roles to TC, though it might not be enough for him to be able to take over.
 
Re: Y.A.W.P's Warcraft Themed Pen 'n Paper RPG style Mafia Game Game Thread

I could take over and tweak things a bit in order to be able to run the game. But that would mean changing YAWPs original ideas and that's something I will not do unless needed.
