Yeah PS must be getting completely swamped by us

I guess the vast majority of the talking in this game is being done through PMs with PS at the moment.

That's no excuse for a lazy/dead D1 thread, people being around to PM should post too.

My brain is to busy crashing from all the work this is taking. Okay more fixing all the mistakes I keep making. Thinky meats have taken a bit of a pounding.

[Fanderay]

I'm having trouble coming up with an offer containing promises/penalties that doesn't give away free information should the other side decline the treaty.

Thoughts?

[Karosis]

"tis but natural to have a little confusion when the stakes are so high.

Hey guys, a minor update.

Buildings do NOT have a location. You need only to build 1 to have its effects everywhere - so a single Arsenal will give +15 morale to all of yuor garrison units, for example.

Also, all excels have been sent out.

Have a fun game, I hope participation picks up a little bit.

You might have to poke us a little bit to get more on thread, at the moment no one wants to be the first one to draw attention to themselves and miss out on the rest of the game.

I'd vote for anyone in the game to get us started but I don't want to be the sacrificial lamb either

[Olar Ethil]

Path Shaper or anyone in SH please check the last PM I sent in NOW. It is important!

[Path-Shaper]

Yeah.

Ehm, guys, I fucked up with some stuff I left on the mailed Excel.
passwords of all old alts have been changed, so I guess you all better try and pretend you're not who you are by donning a fake moustache, a fake accent and pretend P-S isn't an idiot.

Well we know the teams of real players, but our alts are still hidden from one another, so we have that, which is nice.

[Denul]

Let's just say that the game became even more interesting!

[Okaros]

I missed a fair bit, but that's how my week always begins.

So, shall we all just admit that we dont' know what's going on, and start insulting each other?

[Eloth]

Haha, too funny. Poor Taps.


Guys, I'd like to propose something. We all want to give this game a good go, right? In terms of testing out and playing with the mechanics and actions, I mean.

So how about we have an initial moratorium on lynches for the first couple of days? As Tapper says, there's still plenty to discuss, such as teasing out the info you've found on others on thread, urging certain factions to take certain actions (for the 'greater good', of course), trying to link certain players with certain factions, etc etc.

This is a good idea, but I think without the lynch there won't be many posts on thread, though I hate to do it to someone, I think lynches are still something we should actively consider each day.

[Nenanda]

Well, Tapper has said that the lynches are still integral to the game though, so I dunno whether that's actually a good idea...

I dont think its such a great idea as it will move the game along and help to get some information out on thread. However I also dont think its going to be very easy to do. As PS said everyone has messengers flying around so everyone in each faction knows who and what is going on in that faction as well as anyone they are allied with. But to not even attempt is going to make a very boring, very discouraging game. If we dont try to lynch anyone absolutely nothing of consequence is going to be said on thread.

That's exactly my point - I see what people mean about not wanting to stick their necks out on thread or whatnot - this is a faction game, so it'll be difficult to get enough people to follow a lynch, but considering the messengers allow us more information than we usually have in a faction (aka, we can figure out who is actually in our faction), it means that until there are alliances (assuming there aren't any yet), it'll always be 3v9..... Though I can see how this game would totally work in a non-Mafia sense - i.e. if we only played with all the Night Actions - and still be tons of fun, the truth of the matter is this is a Mafia game, so we should treat it as such.

[Olar Ethil]

I feel bad about posting so much in PM but not posting on thread, so here is another post, with as much content as I am comfortable sharing.

I would 100% be down for playing a mafia-less version of this game. It is brilliant.

[Olar Ethil]

Later on after this game I mean, I still think we should probably be lynching people.

I am here getting caught up.....

Oh well done.

Hey guys, this is your friendly neighbourhood mod telling you there's 18 hours on the clock, after which I will start resolving straight away.
