The Great Twist
Working on a spreadsheet to help me set up role madness games. I was tired of going through various wikis to find roles. Specifically wanted a way to organize roles by their type to better fit niches needed in a setup. It's pretty useful as a general role repository though so I thought I'd share it.

I was originally going to make a wiki since most of us don't have access to edit the SA Mafia wiki, but a spreadsheet is all I really needed.

If you have any suggestions I'm always looking for interesting things to add to it.

I'm proud of you, Bender. Sure, you lost. You lost bad. But the important thing is I beat up someone who hurt my feelings in high school.

My suggestion (which is Correct) is that you should cut out 3/4 of the roles you've got, and make them vanilla instead.

Bam - you have a good game setup.

Death Miller - Miller that flips as scum
Reverse Death Miller - Godfather that flips as town.

Arsonist - kills anyone who targets their target, plus their target if their target performs no action.

Martyr - Wins if they die.

Modifiers
Brutal - Also kills, context specific. A brutal Cop kills if they get a SCUM result, for instance.
Weak - dies if they target scum

Miller already included. If it's a minor change to something already on the list, it really doesn't need a new line.

That's not an Arsonist. Looks like the Mass Murderer or Werewolf.

Martyr is just an easy mode Jester.

Brutal sounds like a good addition. I don't now about Weak though. It's not something I've seen and doesn't seem particularly fun.

This goes for most setups but Our Fair Community oscillates back and forth between role fetishism and vanilla fetishism, just give it a few months, I think the swing is starting to wind down.

hello

until i was like 20 i pronounced windings as win-dings when talking about the font, and whine-dings when talking about unnecessary curvatures

mafia thread what word mis-pronunciation are you most embarrassed about

Dachshund is my most memorable one. I guess it's supposed be something like 'dox-hund', but I used always say 'dush-shund'. But that's German. I had several others since I would read a lot of old books when I was younger featuring lots of words that no one would ever say and I'd come out with them sometimes unaware of their pronunciation. I say quay as "kay' and I have an Irish friend who swears to me I'm wrong and it's 'key', like the object. I that that's just a matter of accent/hiberno english, since we've had other words we differ on.

I have a lot more glaring ones in French, but that's a bitch of a language to pronounce sometimes. The word 'Tabac", short for Tabaquerie (place that sells cigarettes and other products) is pronounced 'Tah-bah' more or less and I would always finish it with a hard C, what's worse the French would have absolutely no idea what I was trying to say at all. English speakers, probably because there are a lot more foreigners speaking the language, have a much larger margin of error and are able to understand most mis-pronounced words, but most of my friends and acquaintances here do not really have that leeway.

Asiina posted:

My step-father would pronounce the A in theatre.

I said the last syllable as 'tre' for like two hours when I first encountered it.

Magnus Gallant posted:

They have an alphabet for how you're supposed to pronounce things:

I would love to learn the phonetic alphabet, it seems like it'd be incredibly useful to know. However, it falls into the category of things like writing with my left hand and learning how to speed-read that I think I'd like to do/enjoy doing but seem like more effort than am willing to make. Perhaps one day when I retire. Who knows?

busb posted:

The real question is how people pronounce my name, i've heard so many variations it's great

I say it with a sibilant s and a short b. Like saying 'bub' but with an s in the middle. "busb.'

Made an edit to the post about millers.

I added it to the list. It's not something I would use but it's not something I don't think belongs in Mafia. Sort of how a Silencer is pretty lovely in forum mafia but works pretty well in quick Mafia games like Town of Salem.

nearly every game here or auspol for the last 6 months or so has seemed to be role madness/cyor or something similar. If you are making role heavy games make it not mafia instead imo, having mafia games won by role/night actions alone is boring.

I've called you 'Ecs' like 'Ex" in my head, for short at times.

Actually usually when I don't know how to pronounce a word I tend to do say at first in Spanish, since the vowel sounds are so static it makes it easier to say. That's probably where most of my mistakes arise.

Then don't play Role Madness games. If the host makes role madness games without calling them Role Madness, don't play games by that host.

I don't include anything random on principle. All actions are decided by the players after the game starts.

The Nexus chooses to activate it in some games. But hey it says roles not actions.

You have thief and Surgeon as requiring more info.
Thief steals items.
Surgeon I think kills their target if they weren't getting killed. I think it's also called CPR Doc.

The first week of school is crazy but I am having a lot of fun teaching again this year, Mafia Thread. I have very nice kids, really talented choirs at all three levels, and I am really enjoying teaching AP Music Theory after basically learning Music Theory through teaching it last year :v:

I probably won't have time for more than one or two games over the course of the school year which I will pick very carefully as I finish up the ones I am in but know that you guys are in my heart and I will post here frequently <3

Also if you wanted an appropriate name it would be Defibrillator, since that's what will kill you if you're not already dying.

I think when you start getting into goofy stupid roles, different mods call the same role different things and use the same role name to describe different roles. I have definitely seen surgeon or CPR doc to do what Kumba describes here. Also its a bad role
