Thryllan's provisional is in.... and the Mistborn isn't doing a whole lot so far on night one, just using Iron.

Doubling as a spoiler entry, of course.

Playing this as a low poster, at least on Day 1. Kind of obvious as a leader, but hey ... it usually works. A few people are showing interesting mechanics knowledge that suggests they are in the Roles they're talking about - like Tulas - but nothing firm enough to take a shot at. Definitely holding back on my Steel for now. I may change my mind as Day ends, and take a random shot (Liosan being high on that list) while the odds are still high that I'll hit another faction. Not gonna bother NKing Mockra, I think he'll either get lynched, or someone else will take him out to be safe, and Tulas is likely as well.

Anyways, provisional:


Burn Iron

Noted.

Roldomatha is concerned with low-posting. He fits right in!

so far so good, its going to have a different dynamic to the warhammer game

ive never read mistborn, but wikkipedia will fix that lol

im trying to decide as a FM should i stick to background at the beggining or try to make myself stand out in a way i can easily change when i jump altse, it will be good to have a team with me this time, so that i might still win, even if i get lynched

im liking it so far, the only problem mafia has is that its players can go 20 odd hours without saying anything, making it impossible to get a read on them, but theres nothing that can be done about that

set up is good, everyone has to focus on getting rid of the inquistion right away b4 they recruit to many, im not sure how long it would take to make another recruit, but once they get more than say 4 members its going to be impossible to defeat them i thnk

Low-posting concern: Welcome to Malazan Mafia!

Glad you like the game so far. I thoroughly endorse reading the books, by the way.

And Vengra just self-voted. This has been interesting to watch.

Liosan still needs clarified on the night-actions.

Liosan, on 21 October 2010 - 03:08 AM, said:

Wow, I hope that Mockra:

1) Doesn't expect that to work
2) Isn't a newbie
3) Doesn't mean it
4) Doesn't hate me...

Unfortunately, this is the problem when you stick to your guns. Back down, go away for a couple of hours...it's better than slagging it out, trying to prove you're right.

Oh, and any confirmation on the powers? I hate to double-up a commiseration PM with business, but..you know, time pressure and all that...

Understood with the time pressure, but haven't had that clarified yet. Hopefully Alt will get here soon.

Gamelon, on 21 October 2010 - 03:12 AM, said:

Well, I think I have to go with the odds. Maybe Korv just isn't all that observant, or fails at math too, but this combination struck me so Shadow needs to die. Too bad that if Shadow is the mistborn I cannot kill him ( he would of course be bp tonight).

Shadow, on 20 October 2010 - 08:28 PM, said:

meh, seems there's nothing really big.

if we take game 31 as our reference point (and that remains our "vanilla" faction set up), we have 3 teams with all same positions. So, 3 teams of 6. plus an inquisitor.

if we assume FMs as per the OP, i'd say 3 teams of 5, 2 independant (or paired) FMs and an Inquisitor.

in either case, we still need to lynch, though I find the first scenario more likely.

as for my vote, I'll

vote Emurlahn

because it was just a very stupid question to ask, imo. I don't see why a proper faction member would be against a lynch. A lone faction/power role, otoh.....

Math fail, there are nineteen. He gave 18 roles.

Shadow, on 20 October 2010 - 07:56 PM, said:

ok, that was a short catchup.
well we can all rejoice, because i'm back and ready to dedicate the next few hours entirely to mafiaz, yay!

to elaborate on the topic of lynch: this is a faction game, where we know next to nothing about most other players. the chances of hitting someone not on oyur team are 13/18--well damn worth a lynch.

this is a faction game. this is how it always works. for whatever reason, one teams gets hit, and then they get hunted. back in the day we called it "Culture hunting", but most of you won't get the reference.
anyhow, i'll deff be voting, just not sure for whom yet, since nothing really spiked my fancy except for that Emu post.

Yeah, all this is true, The only post so far that I really thought was odd was Emur's. The logic just wasn't there, espcially the naive idea that the mistborn would put themselves out like that to reveal the inquisitor.

Typically we lynch day 1 in a normal game, with a large town and a small scum faction. Which is bad odds 3/12-15. Here the odds are definitely worth a lynch.

re: the books- definitely read them.

I always find bad math odd, especially when it is something like three times five.

So, my new provisional is to burn iron, copper and pewter tonight. I will target Shadow with the pewter. After the debacle of my kills in the CFUM game, I think I will wait until I know more than one of my teammates before killing.

Noted.

Okay. Venge is lynched and day is processed. Night has started, and a shit load of people don't have in provisionals and we are waiting on clarifications.

I wish to swallow a piece of tin tonight.

Follow Liosan

I would like to get an idea of the factions of some of the high posters.

Well shit, we lynched a teammate.

Here's hoping he writes a rollicking good rant in SH.

Let's hope so!

I think Venge might ignore Mafia for a while. He seems pretty pissed off.

[Vengeance]

Well that was a cluster fuck... I am done playing for a while. I don't have the patience to play this game anymore.

Tapper is afeared that he's already found out... Bent semi-analyzed a post. Gasp.

Tulas Shorn, on 20 October 2010 - 06:12 PM, said:

Well, first post and the first controversy of the game. I'm not going to live long, I am not going to post much, but I am determined to have fun

I think I am well on track to make a first division in the crowd on what should be a totally not interesting issue regarding the set-up of the game.

Unless you guys included a fifth faction, that is, in which case I will curse you to hell and back and make you all voteless RIs in my next game.

Path-Shaper, on 20 October 2010 - 06:38 PM, said:

You're throwing in the towel after one post you made got talked about? Tapper, you're better than that! =D

Also, lurk less, post more! =D

-pb

Bent's got a good head on his shoulders. For now, he's also looking to stalk Gwynn, an enemy Mistborn!

Galain, on 20 October 2010 - 06:26 PM, said:

Night one -

Burn Copper

also I want to burn a piece of Iron to keep from being shot by someone, lol

and finally

Burn Tin and follow Gamelon.

Thats all for now, but is subject to change based on a whim or my amazing gut, lol

Ment's trying to offer an explanation for his low-posting.

Mockra, on 20 October 2010 - 06:29 PM, said:

That is one of the reasons why I have been low posting. Well that and work and school.

Path-Shaper, on 20 October 2010 - 06:42 PM, said:

I find that when I post a lot, the odds of survival go up quite a bit. Everyone wants to lynch you (harder to NK) but nobody really wants you to be gone (harder to lynch).

Mockra, on 20 October 2010 - 08:01 PM, said:

That is the case after day one or if there is no day one lynch then day two. I think that if you take a side in an argument during day one you increase your odds of getting lynched.

I am Vengeance

[Peanutbutta]

Venge you have to stay in alt. Sorry mate.

Hope you're doing OK, alt, I will be able to help with any resolutions in the next hour or so.

[Path-Shaper]

Er... should I delete the posts?

[Path-Shaper]

HD is running Path-Shaper and is fucking terrified of fucking up.

Gamelon changing his night actions again:

Gamelon, on 21 October 2010 - 03:51 AM, said:

Because I can't say it on thread, that sucked. Must say I had thought that someone dismissing the Fm role so readily may have had knowledge of them, which means they are not on my team. Meh, I probably could have come up with something on Emur, but with the self vote before my post was up it wouldn't have mattered (and would have labeled Mockra as my mistborn, ensuring two factions would be all over voting for me tomorrow).

Tentative team so far:
Tiamatha
Telas
Mockra
Serc

The last two are definite obviously.

I am going to play the odds and change my action, seeing as there are only three out of sixteen options that are on my team..

Burn iron, copper, steel and pewter tonight. I will target Shadow with the pewter. I will target Fener with the steel.

Noted.

sorry...worth a try tho lol

No problems. What your thoughts on the game so far?






One guy with a hunch is not exactly all over, but yeah, it does look like he is pinging one or two people early on.

I see they twigged onto the fact that there are more roles than players, I wonder if anyone will pick up that I said there would be balanced factions. I did say that somewhere right?

You did say that but the fucking morons never fucking read the mother fucking Opening scene. NEVER EVER FUCKING READ IT... THE FUCKING TEAMS WERE EVEN IT WOULDN"T FUCKING MATTER IF THERE WAS A FUCKING FM AS THEY ARE GOING TO BE ON A FUCKING TEAM...

If I ever run a fucking game I am going to make the mother fuckers pass a fucking quiz so that they can fucking get there fucking roles.

[Vengeance]

FUck I am not getting back in to the fucking alt. I am sure that everyone fucking new who I was by the end if they didn't before.

[Path-Shaper]

They don't know who you are, please get in Alt.

Shadow, on 21 October 2010 - 03:54 AM, said:

why is Vengy posting nekkid in SH?

i'ma assume no FMs then,

Disregard that, it shouldn't be happening.

Mistborn targeting the SI with a kill Night One. Should trigger strike-back, which will burn Thyrllan's Atium and tell him Liosan is the SI. Holy Shit.

Thyrllan, on 21 October 2010 - 04:11 AM, said:

Confirming:


Burn Iron
Burn Copper
Burn Steel: Liosan
Burn Tin: Tulas Shorn (though I have a hunch he'll be knocked off tonight).

As for justifying killing Liosan - he had an odd reaction to the lynch. Just a hunch, and I really want to stir shit up to gather info. I'll be pissed if he's on my team ... but it's early enough, and there's enough people left, that I'm willing to risk the 1-in-3 odds. If he is on my team and reading this in SH ... sorry dude. I had to take out a high-posting player.

Gamelon looks most likely to be on my team. Not sure if I can specify why. Possibly Korv. Shadow very likely isn't.

Love the short Nights, though I'm obviously not going to say that in thread. I will have to start posting more heavily, pretty soon. My Kills are likely to be low posters - I'm really not interested in trying to knock off Mistborn or Inquisitors, due to the risk involved, and the likelihood that they'll stumble and get lynched (I seriously doubt Mockra was a Mistborn, but he may have been an FM, if Emur isn't).

Aaaaaand ... send.

Noted.

[Path-Shaper]

Too bad on the short stay for Breadmaster. I don't see why the role list says he has no action... he should have one, although he doesn't have one in at the moment.

Shin's going to blow up his own teammate, that's no good. House E will gain a ton of info but will lose Silchas and will have to expose its mistborn to take out Liosan... could be serious trouble. Looks like House D gains an early lead?

We need alt to clarify the rulings before we can end night, unfortunately. I'll ask Silencer for a prov in case he can double kill.

Fener, on 21 October 2010 - 05:57 AM, said:

So, am I supposed to submit an action even if I don't want to do anything?

In that case, good sirs:

No action

I believe you're around here somewhere looking things over, alt?
