Toalpaz: Mar 20, 2012; Peace through overwhelming determination

I will vote anyone who talks about mechanics again..... here's our plan.

hunt scum.

we win when we kill scums.

Here's the last plan that is acceptable. Attack encounter if you want to, draw cards if you want to. Thank you very much.

Nah. Doesn't give me the vibe of someone making any particular effort not to seem scummy, or to ingratiate himself to the Town.

People saying they are going to draw instead of attack are assholes and selfish, but not scummy.

Oh we're in serious chat? Boo get back to joke phase

I believe this is Debt's first mafia game, so as mentioned before in prev games I have a personal policy of not voting newbies D1 (unless they do something super obviously scummy)

re:Gaming the system. I am 100% for it, with my only preference being we should start this from Day 2-3 onwards so people have the opportunity to do what the want the first night. Will agree to do whatever the group consensus is though

Further to this, based off reading my role PM, I believe players will have certain preferences on actions taken and having such an open discussion D1 (Again. I think it's fine from D2-3 onwards) only benefits scum in trying to figure out town roles.

I believe town should be open in what they are revealing, but only when their is useful/actionable info to reveal

Infinitum: Jul 30, 2004

I was, I try to not be as much of a bombastic oval office these days.

We used gamification of the system to great effect in El Dorado from memory, where we openly revealed night actions and basically found DOOM SQUAD ASSEMBLE fairly easily, and having an almost complete town shut out victory.

Then someone got super lucky finding the game ending doodad in the desert and that was that.

I'm having a hard time trying to find posts which feel forced/fake, but my current array:

Grandicap posted:

If everyone draws we lose the encounter, we can't all be selfish. We should have some level of coordination.

this one, because it feels like an attempt to veer into mechanics chat without offering an actual solution

Sandwolf posted:

Hmm yes nothing says white noise posting than hypothesizing about early D1 play

and this one ##vote Sandwolf

calling out others' play but not contributing yourself is bad

That post of mine you quotes was part of this posting shotgun:

Grandicap posted:

Dammit, not everyone can draw, we should set up some sort of system where we alternate who draws.
I'm down to attack in the first wave.

Grandicap posted:

It's a 16 player game, let's break into quadrants, and have 3 attack and 1 draw. Even if scum don't attack, that should still be enough to not lose the encounter, at least until the harder ones, maybe.

Grandicap posted:

If everyone draws we lose the encounter, we can't all be selfish. We should have some level of coordination.

Looking at the last post in a vacuum is not helpful. I did make a suggestion as to a solution. And the last post was directly in response to

Monathin posted:

I am going to draw tonight, regardless of other coordination efforts.

Which was just another in a line of people saying gently caress the police I'm gonna draw.

i dont want to attack but if people want to give scum an advantage then i will attack to prevent that

How is it an OMGUS if I respond to his non-points, wait for a response, don't get one, and then vote them?

It'd be an OMGUS if I was voting him just for the sake of him voting me, I'm voting him cause he had a lovely argument, has somehow made a mountain out of a mole hill, and lied about what I said (re:point 2)

Lot of specious reasoning ITT
