Please leave if you're not supposed to be here.
































































The setup: very simple, 8 RIs vs 2 Killers.
The twist: kills only go through if both Twins target the same person. They don't have a lover convo.

I did not give town any roles, because the twist leaves the scum nerfed already. I was actually thinking about adding a symp, but 3v7 sounds harsh.

Scum PM

Kessobahn and Kaschan, you are a pair of evil twins, murdering the townsfolk. As any siblings, you have a love/hate relationship. You can't stand talking to one another, but you complete each other.

Each Night you can kill a single person. The order only comes through if you pick the same target. You are not allowed to communicate off-thread. If one of you dies, the other becomes a lone killer without further restrictions.

Victory condition: reach parity.

Town PM

You are RI. The evil twins are murdering people from your town and they need to be stopped. Happy hunting!

So you no longer like passwords that I pick out and now want to choose your own.

Oops, sorry, I didn't know that's the proper order of things and just went and started setting shit up

That is fine. Usually someone will pm me and ask for a new PS and SH password. Then I will go and change both and let you know, but what ever works. Let me know if you need anything I am usually around looking in various corners of the forums.

Interesting setup! Nice twist on the standard pair approach. Interestingly it will make the scum more dangerous once the town kill one of them, which is possibly going to throw town for a bit of a loop.

Macros and Tatts as a pair should be fun to watch! I wonder if they'll end up going after each other...

Haha, I guess Mac has answered this already:

OH GOD YES.


Kesso old son, bad news.
This is Mac here. Who am I dealing with.

I think I can play a similar game to.my last two or three without drawing any heat

Kaschan, on 10 January 2017 - 07:47 PM, said:

Oh fuck.

Should have read the whole message.
Damnit this will be tough

Kaschan, on 10 January 2017 - 07:48 PM, said:

But this means that sacrificing Kesso makes me a VPI serial killer.

Muwahahahabababa

Fuck it, day two my twin dies

Mac is already targeting Fanderay, no order from Tatts yet.

Unrelated: if the player is guessing alts in PMs with Path-Shaper, is it okay for PS to tell them if they're wrong or right?

I'd say definitely not. PS isn't supposed to give extra information, IMO. But that's just my opinion - you're the mod! If you want to tell everyone that alt-guesses will be confirmed if correct, then you go ahead! But I think you'll just get players guessing every available combination until they get it right.

Hmm, I wonder what Mac is planning on doing. I'd guess he'll claim finder and say he targetted Kesso? Maybe if he can convince town that there are a bunch of roles in the game it'll work out. Town will expect there to be roles given that a scum pair in a game of 10 is pretty strong, so he can fill that void and ride to victory if he's careful. Depends on how Khell reacts to his partner selling him out without warning, of course.

As ps you tell the player exactly shit. Nada. They give you actions you only give results if they are a finder.

You don't tell them who anyone is. It gets posted in here for us to laugh at.

You mean tatts. If it was khell then Macy should do it now before khell did it to him.

[Path-Shaper]

K, thanks for confirming that!

And I will not be surprised at all if Tatts does the same thing :F

Town are going to struggle the way things are going...only 37 posts so far, they're not going to get anywhere near enough player interactions to stand a chance of spotting scum. Without a finder to bail them out like last game, my prediction is they're going to be destroyed by the scum here.

[Path-Shaper]

There is always the chance that scum will unleash the full potential of their insanity on thread. Tatts is already planning to go, well, full-Tatts

Kessobahn, on 10 January 2017 - 07:12 PM, said:

Well the game looks very hard from my point of view. Scum are usually more informed. Communication is key. It will be hard to get the right target together. First time scum in aaaaagggges as well

Kessobahn, on 11 January 2017 - 08:59 AM, said:

I am thinking of revealing as finder on day 3 if I am around.

Kessobahn, on 11 January 2017 - 09:00 AM, said:

Then going to try and look like an insane finder when they do not work!

Path-Shaper, on 11 January 2017 - 10:02 AM, said:

You haven't been scum in so long that I'm not sure anyone even believes it's still possible anymore I've started playing Mafia with you guys around mid-2016 and I don't think you've been scum at all since then.

Kessobahn, on 11 January 2017 - 10:31 AM, said:

No, and you've put me in without any support. Definitely going to play the symp angle, then throw out a find, then be confused why he wasn't scum. Hopefully will by Kaschan a few days, and he can win it on his own.

[Vengeance]

Oh good they are both going to play the same card. Well at least tatts won't be surprised when Macy makes his move tomorrow. Tatts play might actually be better because you would get two lynches out of it. The scum find on day 3 and the night 2 inno find on day 4. The biggest problem with outing as a finder with a scum find on your partner is then why aren't you targeted for a kill that night. The reason is obviously a healer who healed you. But that will become a very long game for maccy to keep his shit together and win it by himself.

[Path-Shaper]

Ay carramba, bingo! They're both targeting Gamelon now, so unless Gamelon is lynched, it's a kill.

[LinearPhilosopher]

Ill give you a hand importing pms tomorrow evening when i get home.

Got home late and had a job application to hand in.

[Tattersail_]

I assumed by hampering us with no communication that you would not give roles, that is why I was thinking of a finder reveal. I wanted to attack Kaschan early on to put much distance between us, and if one of us went then that would enable the kills to go through 100%. Looking at how my lynch went down, Kaschan looks pretty safe, he needs to not kill Serc and Telas, lynch elsewhere and kill elsewhere because they look like scum/potential partners.

I agree. Him being the first on your train should make him pretty much VPI and unlynchable. If Maccy can keep his wits about him he should be able to coast to victory.

He's targeting Serc
