Commentary would ROCK.

He's got me there. I was a little tempted even after I saw Cesium's corpse. Thankfully they destroyed it before I could give in and have some.

Rule clarification: if you win the lynching contest, you don't get to kill anyone to take them with you.

You guys seriously killed the cop on the first day. This is why you can't trust the players with something like killing anytime, they get too eager to murder and everything gets messed up for the villagers.

Well, at least I learned to put in a time delay function to any such rule in the future.

Aww.

Clarification to clarification: I assume this applies no matter whether you actually know if you will be lynched? For example, even if I message you with the first kill request of the day (edited to add: before anyone starts lynching), but then win the lynching contest, my target will not die even though I did not intend to simply "take someone with me"?

Oops! Well, welcome to the land of the dead, de_la_Nae and Method of Madness... want some porridge?

Black Sword · « **Reply #55 on:** 07 May 2013, 08:20 »

Actually, if you send me the first kill request, then it's decided right then and there. I'd probably allow the voting to go on for long enough for you to have a vote or two, but it'll be ended before it gets to "conclusive lynch."

de_la_Nae · « **Reply #56 on:** 07 May 2013, 10:37 »

I decided to be bold!

Being bold doesn't always work.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #57 on:** 07 May 2013, 10:45 »

You broke my heart, DLN...or at least put a sizable hole there

de_la_Nae · « **Reply #58 on:** 07 May 2013, 10:51 »

I'm sure we have some duct tape around here somewhere.

Wait, what is happening? Is this in the rules and I missed it?

Edit: to answer my own question, yes, I totally missed something. HMM.

I remember seeing an episode of Powerpuff Girls in which the Mayor is playing Zelda, and he walks into a wall twice then kills Navi, thus living the dream of millions of teenagers.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #63 on:** 07 May 2013, 17:41 »

So it's funny, I was reading on Tapatalk, which basically ignores spoiler tags, so I was like "wait, why did Black Sword show my PM?" Then I read the rest of the post and saw that I was dead. Fair enough.

de_la_Nae · « **Reply #64 on:** 07 May 2013, 21:05 »

I am the worst villager.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #65 on:** 07 May 2013, 22:03 »

Especially since I rescued you from the closet! Or, you know, I would have, had I realized you were in there with me. (I'd misread where it said you were pushed inside as pushed aside so I thought you were just knocked out of the way so the door could be jammed).

de_la_Nae · « **Reply #66 on:** 07 May 2013, 23:02 »

I did want to say that I love all of you crazy, sorry-ass motherfuckers in that thread. Sorry I had to cock it up, but in my defense I thought there might be a method to Method's madness! (since there really wasn't much of any to mine)

Method of Madness · « **Reply #67 on:** 08 May 2013, 04:28 »

Well I was just going to check a person every night until I got to the killer. And then, you know, do what you did to me to them.

Yeah, but if I hadn't been banging on the door you wouldn't have known we were in there.

Black Sword · « **Reply #70 on:** 08 May 2013, 12:52 »

I think this game is going to set a speed record for Mafia. Definitely going to need to fine tune this.

de_la_Nae · « **Reply #71 on:** 08 May 2013, 13:36 »

It is a really neat idea to throw into the mix.

TheEvilDog · « **Reply #72 on:** 08 May 2013, 14:00 »

Well, y'all are fucked.

Loki · « **Reply #73 on:** 08 May 2013, 14:01 »

Uhm. Did I just died? (sic)

You know, it was really unclear.

mtmerrick · « **Reply #74 on:** 08 May 2013, 14:56 »

It appears you did.

Looks like we got a quad-death this time, TheEvilDawg, Loki, ChaosEra, and Linds.

I saw Unicorn shove her in there... I didn't hear you banging.

Sorry ChaoSera. Thought you were guilty. But I also kinda wanted to die because I am so freaking confused with this game right now. So hey! I'm a happy ghost. Uh, sorry if you aren't!

Method of Madness · « **Reply #76 on:** 08 May 2013, 18:15 »

Seriously? I was making a LOT of noise.

ChaoSera · « **Reply #77 on:** 08 May 2013, 18:17 »

I have this feeling the killing rule somehow throws this game a bit out of balance. Oh well, gonna haunt some people now that I'm dead, I guess.

I protected people, so I think that's going to haunt them a whole lot more than you.

Black Sword · « **Reply #79 on:** 08 May 2013, 19:38 »

My intent was to make the game more tense, a sort of Sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's head. That way, the Mafia would be forced to play their cards closer to their chest, to play more subtly, while everyone became even more suspicious of each other. Clearly, that didn't work, with de_la_Nae going off into psycho murder land and stabbing the goddamned cop in the back, followed by Linds going all murder-y too.

The only legit deaths so far have been cesium133, TheEvilDog, and Loki (battle death).

Zingoleb · « **Reply #80 on:** 08 May 2013, 21:34 »

i'm really confused how de_la_nae got away with killing them if they were just a regular villager with no powers

Method of Madness · « **Reply #81 on:** 08 May 2013, 21:40 »

She didn't, killing me caused her to die instantly.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #82 on:** 08 May 2013, 21:49 »

okay well i mean

how did de_la_nae have the chance to kill someone if she was just a regular villager

Black Sword · « **Reply #83 on:** 08 May 2013, 21:54 »

...the GM is resisting the urge to strike Unicorn with a lightning bolt.

It's in the setting description and the rules. It was an experiment which resulted in the quickest Mafia game in memory.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #84 on:** 08 May 2013, 21:58 »

Anyone can kill anyone, but if you're not a sorcerer and the person's not guilty, you die as well.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #85 on:** 08 May 2013, 23:50 »

I cannot tell whether this was in-character. If not:

Though [the Star Scroll] has been hidden and general knowledge of it has been suppressed, something lurks the halls of Goddess Keep, eager to seize the Star Scroll and its secrets. These are the ancient enemies of the Sunrunners, the diarmadh'im.

Were you playing? Why would you play a game and not read the rules?

Game and Watch Forever · « **Reply #88 on:** 09 May 2013, 07:11 »

It adds to the surprise, duh! It also makes it even more awesome when you accidentally invoke one of the rules to your advantage.

Seriously, I'm going to have to actually read the game thread when I have the chance... it sounds like a beautiful clusterfuck.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #89 on:** 11 May 2013, 13:37 »

because the rules have been 99% the same in every game

Zingoleb · « **Reply #90 on:** 11 May 2013, 13:39 »

and also i didn't care about this game from the beginning

the only reason i keep playing is on the off-chance i get a special role, but that has literally never happened outside of the one time i was a killer. 8 games, and 7 of them i was bored. that's really not a good streak, so i'm honestly just opting out of these mafia games (or, well, not opting in, technically)

especially since people don't know how to play games and make it just excruciatingly boring (Loki, you're the number one exception that comes to mind)

Loki · « **Reply #91 on:** 11 May 2013, 13:51 »

How I read this and what I thought:

"Oh. Err. Nevermind. Yeah. Thanks."

If you don't mind me asking, what constitutes a good game for you? (I assume I have a pretty good idea, actually, but I thought I'd ask.)

Zingoleb · « **Reply #92 on:** 11 May 2013, 15:01 »

enough plot to care about what's going on

people who actually play characters and not just a game

mtmerrick · « **Reply #93 on:** 11 May 2013, 15:43 »

Also, is boring because it's SO SLOW GOING.

Seriously black sword, pick up the pace >_<

henri bemis · « **Reply #94 on:** 11 May 2013, 15:46 »

I've got to apologize for not participating more in this game - I usually try to do more, but I've taken on a bunch of shit lately and haven't had as much time as I'd usually like to dedicate to it. I'll get on it promptly.

Masterpiece · « **Reply #95 on:** 11 May 2013, 16:02 »

I second that, Primo. What's up Black Sword, invent a slow teleport?

ankhtahr · « **Reply #96 on:** 11 May 2013, 16:16 »

I never really looked into the Mafia threads, but seeing this madness I'll definitely take part in one of the next rounds.

henri bemis · « **Reply #97 on:** 11 May 2013, 16:50 »

Black Sword said he was having to deal with some personal things not too long ago, and GMing is a lot more work than playing, so let's cut him some slack? I just don't think he'd bail on a game without good reason.

mtmerrick · « **Reply #98 on:** 11 May 2013, 16:59 »

Ah, I didn't know that.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #99 on:** 11 May 2013, 20:10 »

also just as an aside

if someone's commands aren't in and the night is over, they really should lose their chance to send in any commands that night, rather than push the game back because of them.
