The 16-bit retro-future of crustacean-based transportation

OMGVBFLOL posted:

has anyone ever made a game where instead of a scum team there was just a group of unaffiliated 3p?

Funny you should say that, I made a game a while back that had three independent 3Ps (a serial killer, a survivor and a... cult painter type thing), and a two-person scum team that couldn't kill but could coax the serial killer into picking off targets they wanted dead. It, uh, didn't work very well.

I mean, I sort of get what you're saying about binus. What it looks like to me though is the usual happy-go-lucky "let's vote some people and see how they react" binus which I associate with town binus. But then again binus was voted out D1 as scum recently off of a soul read by Sandwolf and might be changing up his meta if he's scum, I don't know. Either way, I agree that OMG is a better vote today.

Omg is a MUCH better vote than me IMHO

It would hardly be the first time TM made something up out of whole cloth for no reason. The only problem is he does that as town, too. That said if it is fake, then faking a restriction that basically gives you a reason to not post is... not a very towny thing to do. But other than that I don't know, Moritz's posts haven't been that bad, have they? Hold on, maybe I should just re-read them. Can't be that many, hey.

I don’t think I’m going to clear Moritz off of it, no. It may give me some hesitancy. Would mod give town a post limit restriction? Limiting the one tool town have to find scum isn’t greAt

The biggest reason I think both deadmeat and OMG are good votes is just, like... it's not just a matter of post volume, but they way they both only seem to pop into the thread when summoned. Like they're lurking, reading the thread, but not posting yet are anxious enough to post when they get voted. Honestly I think either one is a good vote right now.

Its just post anxiety in general, really. As much as I enjoy playing games of Mafia, I have to admit that I'm just not very good at it.

Just by making my claim of being a death miller I feel like I've made better contributions. I've also confirmed some flavor.

Phantom my Opera and call me South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut

You were warned of the risks of creating Stepford. Now, it has all fallen apart due to one couple that wouldn’t fall in line.

OMGVBFLOL - Claire Wellington, SCUM-Aligned Risky Godfather has been Eliminated.



quote:

You are "Claire Wellington." You call your exercise program "Clairobics." You are a Risky Godfather.

Alignment-investigative actions will reveal you as "TOWN."

You ARE able to use the scum team night elimination action.

To do so, at night, you may risk an ##elimination of any active player. [Adding given some uncertainty in a few recent games. To be clear, this would count as a visit barring some other action.] If you risk an attempt at a night elimination AND during the same phase you are alignment-investigated, you will also be eliminated (your night elimination action will still resolve normally).

You are SCUM-aligned.

As a Godfather, you have the following fakeclaim available (which will be revealed in your flip in addition to the Risky Godfather details if you are eliminated):

You are "Robo Rover" the robot dog who (unintentionally?) helps crack the case. You are a "Risky Support Dog." At night, you may risk giving a ##support-visit. You will visit a random player active at the start of the night. If that player were to be eliminated and is TOWN-aligned, they will not be eliminated. If that player is SCUM-aligned, instead you are eliminated. You might visit the same player multiple times in a row. You might visit yourself. You will not be informed of which player you visited. You are TOWN-aligned.



It is now Night 3. Deadline for night actions is in just about 24 hours. 8 PM Eastern on Thursday 5/18.

You were warned of the risks of moving to Stepford. But you were convinced to give it one last chance. Now, you’re everything Stepford ever hoped for, because they couldn’t allow you to sink the Network after that horrible incident with “I Can Do Better.”

Somberbrero - Joanna Eberhart, TOWN-Aligned Risky Decapitator has been Eliminated.






quote:

You are "Joanna Eberhart." Spoiler alert for the end of the movie. You are a Risky Decapitator.

At night, you may risk an attempt to ##decapitate a player. [Adding given some uncertainty in a few recent games. To be clear, this would count as a visit barring some other action.]

If the player you ##decapitate is Mike Wellington, they are eliminated and another SCUM team member will be revealed (unless already eliminated).
If the player you attempt to ##decapitate is NOT Mike Wellington but is TOWN-aligned, they will be eliminated.
If the player you attempt to ##decapitate is NOT Mike Wellington but is SCUM-aligned, you will be eliminated instead.

You are TOWN-aligned.



-------------------------------

You were warned of the risks of moving to Stepford. Unfortunately, you’ve got a new wardrobe and now you’re running for state senate.

Deadmeat5150 - Roger Bannister, SCUM-Aligned Risky Involuntary Politician has been Eliminated.



quote:

You are "Roger Bannister." Stepford is very open-minded. You are a Risky Involuntary Politician.

You have a one-shot twilight ability to ##rallysupport and SECRETLY shift up to one SCUM-target and one TOWN-target votes to you (VF will be adjusted between end of day and flip). [Adding given some uncertainty in a few recent games. To be clear, this would count as a visit barring some other action.]

You are SCUM-aligned.



-------------------------------

You were warned of the risks of trying to fix things, especially your wife’s younger research assistant. This new and improved body is finally catching up to your original.

Sandwolf - Mike Wellington, SCUM-Aligned Risky Fixer has been Eliminated.



quote:

You are "Mike Wellington." It's a nickname from the place you used to work. You are a Risky Fixer.

You are NOT able to use the scum team night elimination action.

At any point during the game, if a TOWN-aligned player makes a post questioning any mod decisions or actively mentions setup spec (Mod discretion but intention is to be fairly loose here) AND also makes a vote against a SCUM-aligned player in either the same post or within a series of (relatively-)uninterrupted posts, you may (privately) risk a ##fix for that vote to nullify it. [Adding given some uncertainty in a few recent games. To be clear, this would count as a visit barring some other action.] DO NOT POST THIS IN THE THREAD! YOU SAID YOU READ THE RULES THERE ARE NO PUBLIC ## DAY ACTIONS!

If there are ##fixes that seem like they could be made but haven't been yet, you will be consulted (within reason) after a hammer, before a flip is revealed. Importantly, note that VF will be publicly adjusted (as mod availability allows).

If at least two distinct TOWN-aligned players notice that votes have been ##fixed and call this out in-thread (it doesn't have to have been their votes), your vote during the most recent day phase will be nullified and you will be eliminated at the start of the next night phase. You will not be proactively alerted to this in advance.

You are SCUM-aligned.


-------------------------------

It is now Day 4. Deadline in ~50 hours. 8 PM Eastern on Saturday 5/20.

Rather than a 'banner' with a Christopher Walken movie, instead have this screenshot from the movie that I took in case we had an instance where multiple eliminations happened at the same time.
