Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.

I almost forgot. If anyone mentions Gambler's Fallacy thingie and/or Occam's Razor, they get a nasty post restriction.

Boooo!
Vote: ThunderCat

Also, I'm pretty sure Zarni is mafia since he hasn't been assigned an anti town role in the last four game we've played. :coffee:


 
Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.

So that means in past games where at lease one noob is a mafia means that it is the case in this game right?

What would be the phrase to disprove that theory.................?!

Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.

Mmmm, delicious shenanigans...

Speaking of food, would you like some lynched Noodles, Bad Ash? Gotta say it looks better to me than the other items on the menu.
 
Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.

Also krazeyivan is being suspiciously absent from the fray, he has posted very little, and the last game I played with him (even though it was over 2 years ago!) had him play a similar way and he ended up being scum. I'm kinda throwing his name out simply because of the lack of posts, and no real incriminating evidence.

Well sadly I have been at work all day and then had to meet some lady friends out for a meal afterwards - been a busy day in the real world - leaving good old mafia quiet on the Ivan front. Others have posted less than me - most of the posts so far are your usual day 1 mixed bag - I do like some of the more detailed analysis done but most of it is not worth responding to yet.

In other news I have found this new fangled gadget - its called Occam's Razor its fantastic for close shaves and some Gambler (TC) thought its performance was a Fallacy - terrible really :crazyeyes:


 
Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.

O's Razor doesn't apply to games hosted by TC and Gorny. Rather, in their cases the most complicated possible solution is generally correct.
 
Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.

I wonder, what would happen if the host would get locked in a lynch vote?
Haha! Mutiny! Everyone involved might get modkilled though. :p

Given the fact there is a police station, I would assume there must be a Cop role somewhere. In Town, there's also a slot for civilians (0 civilians). I wonder if they are just dead-weight (no pun intended ;), eetin r food, sleepin n r bedz), or can fill various roles, albeit poorly.

TC, I imagine most people wanna wait until crunch time to vote, so they have as much info as possible and don't play their hand and start grudges against themselves. Too, work will take up the amount of time given to complete it, it kinda feels like to me that 72 hours is quite long. I think 48 hours starting tomorrow would probably be fine. It would force things to go a little snappier.

This game is relentlessly making me think of The Thing. Has there been a 'The Thing' themed game? :scratchchin:


 
Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.

If there was a cop and doc in the game and a 25% mafia ratio, is this setup plausible - 5 mafia, cop, doc, and 3 of each (Solider, Scout, Scavenger, Engineer, Scientist) for 22 players. Assuming that civilians are not vanilla townie but zombies brought into the town.

The general setup is plausible. However, because it is plausible in general means it isn't plausible for one of TCs games (if that makes any sense). There will be some twist involved. Furthermore, TC mentioned mafia won't show up as civilians, which contradicts your last sentence. I'm hoping that isn't the twist. I think it's more likely the twist is that since mafia don't show up as civilians, they might show up as having one of the professions. Why have a civilian count if there are no civilians?

Is it important that we learn exactly what the new roles do? Or just that they are a launchpad for discussion?
Launchpads for discussion are almost always good, but discussion about how to find a cop or doc or other power roles is not a good scenario. I've not seen discussion about new roles other than doc or cop and I don't feel the need for such discussion since I don't see any game events that need the explanation of a role not currently known to the town. If we see a burned doc and ****/murder victim the same night, I'll be all speculative.



 
Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.

Addendum to the above: I think I'm mixing up citizen with civilian. Civilians are counted, as well as those of professions, but are still citizens. Mafia are said to not show up as citizens, which means they won't show up as civilian either. Mafia having professions doesn't seem to be a danger unless TC is misleading us with the mafia != citizen comment.
 
Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.

I had though this would contain more role playing to be honest, but guess it mostly just falls onto thundercats hands in the write-ups. Since post #7 no one has really explained their situation, though guess that's a good thing since the mafia will have a harder time choosing their target.

Pie doesn't count? More Spanish phrase post restrictions for the mafia TC!

Keep posting people... the more you write, the more you open yourselves.

Vote: Noammr
Unvote: Ankeli

Are you immune to your own advice? Convince me of your reasons for voting Noammr.



 
Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.

Why don't you try?

TC, I imagine most people wanna wait until crunch time to vote, so they have as much info as possible and don't play their hand and start grudges against themselves. Too, work will take up the amount of time given to complete it, it kinda feels like to me that 72 hours is quite long. I think 48 hours starting tomorrow would probably be fine. It would force things to go a little snappier.

We had 48 hour day phases up until this game, and lately, first few days were lacking activity and the time to secure a lynch. Thus, I honestly believe 72 hours for the first two or three days is beneficial for the health of the game. We shall see how things turn out.


 
Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.

Right, get off your butts people and starting. There's been an ample supply of suspects thrown to the table already, pick your favourite! Me, Sathoris, Goryani, Gorny, ITY, Laarz, Zhao_Yue... It's not that hard! We need lynches, we need the information.

Or perhaps you'd rather sit back and discuss whether the scientists will make a new discovery tonight.

Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.

And by "get off your butts and starting" I obviously mean "Get off your butts and start voting."
 
Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.

Whew, I may not make it in time to vote tomorrow. I've been going back and forth. A couple of you give me the creeps, but I think you might just be being misunderstood... Gah!!

I'm just going to have to take something of a stab in the dark here:
Vote: Noodle

My reasoning is that while his concern for Ankeli looked nice, the fact that he went and then exposed it so thoroughly seems covertly malicious. Just my take on it.
 
Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.

Off to take a midterm test, probably followed by a night out getting wasted and trying to forget it.

Unvote:ThunderCat
Vote: Noodle
Just in case I don't make it back;
 
Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.

I'm not sure about the votes on Noodle. I mean sure, I was pissed off that he pointed out what I was getting at to everyone and most likely caused my death overnight (the mafia can't risk it if I am actually a doctor in need of rescue) but if he were mafia he wouldn't have had to point it out to everyone. It would've actually been counterproductive for the mafia, as if anyone else hadn't noticed what I was saying they could've used, assuming I'm a doctor, my role as a cover up after killing me. Unless roles are revealed upon NK's which I doubt.

But yeah, I won't go about to confirm or deny that I'm a doctor. I might actually be able to draw a NK my way and cover up for someone else. :)
