Checking in.

Kesso, way to jump to conclusions. We don't know if Mancy has even been hired yet. For all we know he's still lovers with his horrible wife and he hasn't escaped her yet.

Just don't drink the "wine." Particularly if you've already donned your armour.

Here.

Kesso, way to go speculating mechanics from your very first post



I'm quite tired of having this conversation. Mechanics conversation in and of itself is no bad thing. Filling the thread with farcical mechanics speculation is. But sensible talk can help you not only get a better understanding of game possibilities (no bad thing for usually initially clueless town), but also lets you in on what others are supposedly thinking and potentially later jump on inconsistencies.

Vote Okaros

For trying to pick an easy target.

Oh, for the love of... what is this, amateur hour?

Role distribution spec is bad for town in simple games, mmmkay? Because it can lead to false expectations of things like guards/healers/finders. And conversely, if correct, it helps scum look for roles to take out.

This isn't mere musings- we have many in-game examples of this stuff happening, that's how this rule of thumb came about.

And when we start pullin speculation out of our asses, it's unverifiable WIFOM that accomplishes nothing.

So now, to sound totally contrary ( because it's not a pure M&P), if we have 1 killer in a 10 player game, either there's scum LP, a few symps (with possible kill inherit mechanics?), or a diff scenario I haven't thought of?

FFS. Role mechanics speculation is par for the course on day 1. It helps us come following dats to see if anyone is a little too right. I've been caught that way and have caught others *cough* *Khell* *cough*.

Days not dats. Not certain what a dats is but spell check didn't choke on it.

Dats wack, yo.

All 3 of those are marked as wrong by my spell-checker. I win?

I keep having to sign in on every visit. Anyone else having this problem? I'm checking off the "remember me" box but the site isn't remembering me.

The site always remembers me. I'm jealous though. I wish I could forget you dear.

ok.

back after what could only be described as a pig of a day.

I was tempted to jump straight to a Kessobahn vote due to such blatant role spec in his first proper post.

I still am, it just reads like he's fishing with this

[qoute]So we have one killer.

Then we have Reese and Bauchelain and Korbal Broach. I'm guessing that Reese will be a symp to B+KB...but they're not the killers. They're probably lovers though. The killer must have something other than kills though if there's only one in ten players. I imagine this is where remembering a bit more of the story might come in handy. [/quote]

There's very little else of note so far, The joke vote on PS always wags a flag at me too so IGMEOY telas
And the trake RPing stuff... well I haven't read the book yet but It doesn't seem much beyond spamity


Vote Kessobahn to get some upward momentum in this day

I understand, from Tappers' point of view, that mechanic talk on day one without any new information is bad for town because there is a billion possibilities. Huge exaggeration on my part but essentially it is wifom. Pure and simple. Town's goal is this game so far is to lynch the one killer. One scum. Ten to one odds of getting it right day one. We don't know what else is going to be behind the game until future events have happened. So that prompts me to want to vote one of those who are trying for new information.

After a quick read up Kessobahn begins it, D'riss engages in it and Telas agrees with it. I do not see it being a rookie mistake, if I am reading the clues correctly I think D'riss' position is the more dubious out of the three.

Because he realises exactly what I have said but then does it himself.

Wouldn't have voting for the only person with a vote on them at the time you wrote this done much more to build your vaunted upward momentum?

But sure go ahead and vote for the guy who started content-ful conversation :p
