Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.
On the contrary, the past 24 hours have been a wealth of information for all involved. I've been able to deduce a lot by people's speculations of roles, and the numbers people have been posting are telling as well.
You however, have not been posting much at all. In fact, you are one of the people I called out. Your second post in almost two days, and it's basically saying you are going to ignore the game mechanics that are going to make the town stronger. You even go on to give a baseless vote to someone who has actually been contributing to the discussion. Three strikes pal.
Vote: Sathoris

Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.
Did it got you any closer to finding any mafia? Nope, all you did was give them more information on the town roles that we have.
Says it all, just play mafia the normal way and focus on finding the baddies. When you start drifting away from scumhunting and start focussing on the game mechanics you fall behind and you get stuck in a vicious circle of reinforcing the statistics that need reinforcing because you've been slacking on finding mafia.

Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.
I rarely agree with Sathoris, but I 100% do now, and I'm swearing by Hippocrates that we're not connected in anyway. Take what you will of it, but should either of us go down due to us wanting to find mafia (lol) I'm going to point and laugh at every townie in those lynch parties.

Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.
Swamped at work, I've only had time to get a few pages (up to 5) in.
What factions do we have? Town (survivors) and Mafia (Zombie Horde)?
Hopefully I'll have time later today to get back, but for now, thats all that is really bugging me (Never a vanilla game with you TC...
)

Percentages? Totally awesome, Asrrin!
Yuck. Looks like a biohazard from here. I'm a cake person myself.
I agree and said as much in the post before the one you quoted.
But the scummies still lucked out when they got one of the in-town players who's powers were presumibly already active.
Many of the recent games started out badly for the town due to people's reluctance to vote before the day's end was near, especially on early days. In light of that, getting some votes going early on is a positive thing.

it's not pie, but it'll do.

Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.
When I saw tha I thought of the vehicle from this movie.
Usually someone swearing that they are not connected with someone else so early in the game means something else entirely.
What's in your wallet Ankeli?
welcome!! :wave:
yeah, i was thinking defense for scouts and town, ya know? like, maybe mini-vigis.
lol. mini-vigis.
im guessing so... if only seven can fit in one house.
lol, read that in Archer's voice. DUH!
:rolf:
i thought it was funny.
not gonna lie.... i kinda did to. :embarassed: im sort of on a time crunch this evening.
please, if anyone else can point out where it hints or blatantly says Uraj = Engineer, free honey for everyone.
[OT] DUDE! like, no joke, that happened at our D&D game time before last. got on two of our players and this past round (this past Sunday) they died from it (they left the group so DM killed them in the story). [/OT]
lol! you better!
seconded.
seems like i was right about soldiers. i HIGHLY doubt, in a game this big and where we have zombie-NPCs AND mafia members attacking us that there is ONE scout. TC is mean, but pretty sure he's not THAT damn mean.... then again....
seems like Scientists and Engineers are like BFFs - scientists do the research and give it to the engineer to put together. im not making a lover connection here, but just making an observation right now. Scientists seem like they might be able to make more food too. maybe clone it? Engineers seem like builders and... what is this? repair vehicles? oooh, do we get awesome rides like this?

Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.
The answer to your question is either:
A. It takes one to know one.
or
B. I'm sneaky trying to trick players into posting more on Day 1.
or
C. I'm even sneakier and have managed to let others know about ME rather than learning things about others.
But I'm curious why you think I'm insinuating that players participating in discussions are townies. I'm not even sure which discussion you are referring to, let alone which players you think I think are participating.
If you know enough about every role, then I'd say the town is well on the way to victory. I fail to see how that is a bad thing for the town (easy to see why it would be bad for mafia). Can you explain why it would be?

Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.
Same insinuation as before..
No, you're tricking players into posting stuff we don't need that will delay scumhunting and only helps the mafia.
Again with the idea of persuading us you're townie. Us learning something about you doesn't make you more townie.
Oh come on, look up your own quote on which I commentated and you find the answer to that question.
I'm not an engineer or a scientist. I don't need to know what they need to build something, or how important they are. I prefer not to know what they need or how they do things, because if I can know so can the mafia. And that is information the mafia musn't know because they, unlike me, may be able to do something to block them.

Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.
Zombie Horde is NOT the Zombie Mafia. Players that are mafia should belong to the Zombie Mafia faction. The Zombie Horde is a nighttime mechanic utilizing stats (threat, defense, etc) and equations (post 1) which can potentially affect other game mechanics (lynch success rate). The Zombie Horde are stated by TC to be NPCs.

Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.
I'm not role claiming at all... No idea where you got that.

Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.
So much reading and serious talk about game mechanics that you guys force me to use my brain.
It was mentioned that discussing game mechanics take away from scum hunting ... since when? Having a discussion brings out information, and having townies more aware of what's going with the game as a whole is good ... unless someone is purposely trying to misinform or mislead, in which scumhunting takes effect.
Are a lot of people saying there are additional roles other than the ones listed, ie cop and doc? What makes you believe these traditional roles are in TC's unorthodox setup?
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.
Is it important that we learn exactly what the new roles do? Or just that they are a launchpad for discussion?
