[Advanced] Fight Club Mafia! - Game Thread!

[Ironeyes]

 

So, anybody that takes any interest in game mechanics has already suspected that this is a hybrid recruit game. I'm guessing Darthe had 1 other mate (Wifi/Nolder) and that they were offered the option to skip a NK in return for a recruit. For the sake of balance, this would be a 1x deal.

 

Talk me through where you are getting this idea like I am Zander.

Me too! I have no idea how you got the idea of a recruit game.

[Ironeyes]

Also, good job Ed. Um, whatever you did. Which is clearly not doctor since you're not claiming doctor

[Zander?]

 

I really hope that's because of what I did and not someone else. If so (or even if it was someone else who caused their kill to not go through)...

 

 

Noldy, you could have decided to throw him in the ring because it was obvious he was going to go in anyways.

 

You've read 20 pages of the game thread, but how many pages are on your QT?

 

Lucy you got some splaining' to do!!!!!!

Anytime you have a novel dynamic (fight hours) you have to compensate for how that might throw the game...

 

For instance, there was speculation that there 4 mafia. But that makes it too easy for the game to end on the D3 lynch, which outweighs the town, mostly because the fight dynamic is just a distraction that favors the mafia anyway (it favors the mafia by giving each lynch a 2nd chance and by screwing up the time continuum to cause confusion). 

 

So, you have to start off with low numbers of scum. Lower numbers decreases the chance of them getting caught, but also stretches out the time that the game will last. And, by adding in a recruit option to substitute for a NK, you avoid killing them too soon. 

 

It's a pretty standard setup for this type of game and it works well. 

 

Now, this is just my speculation. But it fits with my suspicion on Nolder and his sudden perestoika with Darthe, so I figured I'd put it out there. We need to take into account all angles, but I'm guessing we got a Watcher in place of a Cop and there have been enough VT deaths that it looks like this setup relies more on mechanics than roles. 

 

Does all that make sense?

[Zander?]

Hiiiii, I'm alive.

 

 

Good job, Ed.

 

I think you should be thanking your chocolate giving frand that your phone loves the most imo.

That's because you sheep Darthe.

 

We won't get into what ideas you probably did have.

[DPR]

Also, and I'm not throwing shade at any Doc claim, but given the obvious presence, who in their right mind would still try to NK Tess?

 

Which means they would have targeted someone else, and with this many people still on the board, chances are very high they would have hit.

Oh, darling.

 

I was trying to let you continue to hide.

[dicetosser1]

 

Nice save.

 

[v]DPR[/v]

 

Not even. Nice try. 

 

 

 

Trying to drag this into emo territory just makes you look worse. 

 

So far, the case against you is:

 

1. Wifi had a weird reaction to a joke vote. It caught folks attention.

2. By your own admission, you refuse to read the game (and we're only talking 40 pages or so). Any townie would see the necessity in doing so. Mafia wouldn't need to.

3. You said "win-win" but you never presented any fact based case against me - just stories about my meta. You voting against a hard claim/find just looks like you protecting a team-mate - and then you act like you don't understand that. No bueno. 

 

You got anything to say about these things without drifting off into a speech about how life is so unfair?

1) Dunno what that's about, don't care overmuch.

 

2) I don't like rereading. I never have. It's like grinding in an RPG. Just dirty work you feel like you have to do. This time I decided I am just going to play and whatever happens happens. I hope I can help my team and play right with the information I've gleaned in the last 20 pages.

 

3) I did vote you for meta that's correct. I don't understand why anyone would view that as protecting a teammate when I voted to throw him into the ring in the first place.

 

 

Has that changed?

 

 

So nolder  do you think Dpr is scum?

Yeah.

 

 

 

Meta. Amirite...

 

My best guess as it stands:

 

So, anybody that takes any interest in game mechanics has already suspected that this is a hybrid recruit game. I'm guessing Darthe had 1 other mate (Wifi/Nolder) and that they were offered the option to skip a NK in return for a recruit. For the sake of balance, this would be a 1x deal.

 

They also had a 1x Janitor role that Darthe clearly exploited so that he could unleash his amazing reveal.

 

We're looking for 2 more mafia. Nolder is 1 and whoever changes up their playstyle. 

 

My case on Nolder still stands (as listed above). 

 

 

ok you have confused me DPR.

 

let me check my understanding.

 

is the Blue because you think there were 2 mafia, that they got a recruit and  now that darthe is dead    there is still 2 mafia BECAUSE they recruited?

 

 

 

Clov Ocean Avenue is objectively their best song. Come on.

 

 

So nolder  do you think Dpr is scum?

 

I guess so with the vote Dice....Nolder is sketchy but this question is kinda pointless.

 

 

Read interactions with Nolder and mainly treess in the last half dozen pages or so and u will see the reason

 

 

hits zander

Ouch

[Zander?]

Btw guys, I'm not claiming healer/Doctor. Saying that now

 

Interesting....you should prolly claim today tho at some point.

 

just sayin;\'

[DPR]

@ dice - You got it - If my scenario is correct, we have 2 living mafia.

Show me examples, if you don't mind. I can't say I've encountered anything like you're suggesting that I can recall.

Although there are some people that chronicle these sorts of things, I'm not one - you wanna to go traipsing through game setups over the last 10 years, have at it.

 

Otherwise you'll just have to trust me.

Plus, you have everyone all excited to hear your theory. Turn it loose.

[Zander?]

Also, and I'm not throwing shade at any Doc claim, but given the obvious presence, who in their right mind would still try to NK Tess?

 

Which means they would have targeted someone else, and with this many people still on the board, chances are very high they would have hit. 

 

I dislike this post.

I think you know by the post I quoted I wasnt trying to hide.

 

The thing is Im not quite what people think and I still have the chance to screw over Scum with them knowing I did something to protect you last night

Dislike it all you want. That doesn't detract from the fact that it would make no sense for a mafia team to waste a shot on a player they know will be protected. 

 

It's not WIFOM if it's straight forward logic.

The only person Im trusting fully right now is Tress.

 

As anyone else claimed anything atp?

Well what do you think happened then?

 

Maybe WIFOM is the wrong term, fear mongering maybe, I dunno this post just sketches me out.

That was tongue in cheek, just so you know.

 

Best policy is not to trust anyone.

Can everyone give me a reads list with reasoning please?!?!!?

*facepalm*

 

Which part of my step by step explanation of what I speculate is possible (key word being speculate) is confusing?

 

Why would you be sketched out by common sense?
