GW are you controlling the multi ball lights personally or do you have instructions on how that all works

She clearly had instructions, voting for her makes the lights go up, trying to figure out what makes them go down

I absolutely love seeing your username in the context of Mafia posts, tickles me every time. Returning home from holiday tonight, looking forward to getting on my PC and doing some real (terrible) scumreads. My 3am brain was looking sidelong at Ignatius and Sandwolf for some reason.

I think claiming is bad because there is likely a way to optimize the kill anyways even though the theme is pinball.

Having not done a Mafia game in years, and never on SA, I really want to see Chekhov's [strike]gun[/strike] multi-ball go off, although saying this now is kind of damning if it ends up being an ability that kills a lot of folks randomly Speaking of which, anyone have ideas on the role of the actual pinballs are? Are they actual roles? Are they effectively bullets, making the Chekhov reference that much more apt? Can they provide the Town an alternate type of win if we hit a NEW HIGH SCORE??

Another scum lean. Toalpaz. Should note here that I am almost always wrong about her either way. So that means I should end up being right some time. And that time is now!

Meanwhile I like the light thing, although I obviously don't know if we're turning lights on or turning lights off, to get to multiball. I'm thinking on. Anyway--ooh, shiny.

While I know most of you vets here are enjoying a casual first day, I'm hooked on the mysteries of the roles, so I'm gonna be that person and start guessing mechanics Bonus lights tend to accumulate by striking different parts of the pinball board, and lights go off when you strike the same spot again (although usually alternating with each strike) So as votes for Green Wing increase, the number of lights needed go up, and if I had to hazard a guess, the more votes for different people we have in a day the more lights will light up - and does seem thematically appropriate to the chaos caused by a multi-ball Multi-balls are uuuuusually a good thing, more points and all that, though I'm equally willing to believe the ability just causes chaos for chaos' sake rather than being helpful towards either townies or scum

Paranoid Dude posted:Would you not be honored to be part of the glorious, honored dead laid low by the magnificent multiball? It would be funny! Though I'm inclined to think it won't kill people as sudden mass death, especially one that looks like it could trigger on the first day, doesn't usually make a game very fun

I am joining the GW defense force because having a post-modifying role means that AT WORST GW is self-aligned. At best, they are town aligned and do strange things upon execution/following the release of the the multi-faceted bearing onslaught. Also because I really hope it'll be funny if it goes off at a crucial point.

In actual quality posting though, Sandwolf doesn't give me scum vibes at all. Sandwolf is just doing what they do which is point out small details in posts that will maybe be relevant later.

Also also Green Wing having to describe lights in every post automatically gives him a giant target on his back (look at those votes already!), which is more dangerous to game balance giving it to a scum and getting them knocked out early vs a townie, assuming there's more townies than scum as is standard Which is a lotta words to say #IStandByGreenWing (GW - please don't be scum, I wanna play for more than a couple days)

Oh hell, still working on getting out of the really dumb and bad habit of using he/she without knowing (especially defaulting to "he") - apologies GW! Clarifying with specifics: wins throwing out votes early is antagonistic but also likely a joke, BUT ALSO possibly a "joke" to get votes on townies rolling, but... also could still just be a joke as there's a need for a lot of pointless posting on the first day to meet reqs So I'm clarifying that I'm not very clear And rambling slightly to ensure I don't accidentally end up under the post reqs
