Juanito posted:I haven't even heard of any of these games. I haven't even heard of you! Dominion was fun for a couple years but I burnt myself out on it. I feel like a dick bringing it out when not everyone has played deckbuilders before too. Arctic Scavengers is fun if you can find a copy, it's another deckbuilder but with an element of actual player interaction. I finally got my friends to play Fiasco after years of owning it and it is so, so much fun. There's not much game to it, but honestly I've found that my group has way more fun with indie nonsense games like The Quiet Year than anything more serious.

Mr. Maltose posted:Fiasco owns and is possibly the best game. Another game in a similar vein I want everyone to play to justify my purchase is One Last Job, which is all about getting the team back together for the Big Score despite the fact you all hate each other. Well, you're the worst for making me buy another game. Has anyone played Ribbon Drive? It looks fascinating but I'm hesitant to drop any money on it, because it is hard enough to get people together for several hours to play a single game, much less ask them to bring a mix-CD with them.

MildManeredManikin posted:Recently somebody offered me a chance to pitch a board game idea to a local company but even though I've thought it would be nice to make games, I am not a board game designer. So lately I've been desperately looking up game design stuff. I am so crazy jealous. I had an opportunity to design an educational game for a startup once but they were all crazy and had bad ideas and I never got paid! I have several folders full of completed game designs that I haven't prototyped if you wanna talk sometime!

You did, you and FV were just way too intense about an obvious joke.MildManeredManikin posted:FV while we're here what do you think of This is also a great way for scum to appear like they're contributing content and building connections without actually saying anything.

MildManeredManikin posted:But then I did say actual things? You were trying to draw inferences from an obvious joke. I don't buy that as 'saying something.' I disagree with that, I think it's a solid scum tell to ask people to generate content for you rather than pushing your own opinions. If you had said "I think [x], what do you think FV?" then I would view it differently, but you waited for her to form an opinion before putting forth your own. Obviously everything is contextual but I don't like how you made that move.

Everything cpig posted was obviously untrue. n0 investigations should really stupid.CapitalistPig posted:My reasoning is that I lied about being blocked n0. my points are 1) You took cpig seriously for some reason, that exchange reads to me like he just called out your scumbuddy and you're trying to figure out how to play it. I also don't know why you would try to dismiss Jedit's vote, the reasoning is pretty clear and he's not wrong. 2) I don't like you saying 'oh hey fv please give me an opinion that sounds reasonable' right after the cpig stuff. 3) Your counter-reasoning feels fake and dismissive. Maybe you're confused but it reads more like you're just brushing me off.

I'm not going to speculate extensively on the setup but a n0 investigation is so random. You get to look at the alignment of a player, who you have no read on since they've made no real points. Then if you're scum and you get hit by a n0 investigation, that's it? good game oh well luck of the draw? Again, this is what I mean by 'dismissive.' Now we're speculating on setup. You're addressing what I'm saying without really addressing it and you're pulling us away from content. I don't expect to convince you, I expect to convince other people.

fiery_valkyrie posted:Where is the overcomplication? How is he distracting us from the "meat of the game"? N0 had started 2 minutes earlier and one person had confirmed. I didn't say that it was a strong case, but I read what he said as accusing MMM of white noise more than anything, which isn't really wrong even if Jedit was overeager.

Deadline is in less than 24 hours and I have no idea who is even on the table besides Merkin. If you don't want him to get lynched then make a more persuasive argument or something, it shouldn't be hard.

I could go in on Hal. He hasn't put forth anything meaningful despite being around.Winson_Paine posted:I actually like scum a lot better than town because I never know what to do with myself as town. Scum is easy, you get to have a plan and coordinate and so on. Also idk if this is a noob thing, I have been in three or four games now. That is not veteran but the shine has worn off a little. Maybe in Zibarro Mafia! This is actually really interesting, because it runs counter to most mafia theory. Active scum aren't incredibly unusual, but the problem with being engaged and active as scum is that it is easy to paint yourself in a corner. The best lies are those that contain the most truth, but at a certain point if you're playing too legitimately, you're going to accidentally get yourself lunched. At some point or another, scum have to either make bad arguments to get people on the other team lunched or have the town make those arguments for them. It's much easier to sit back and have someone else do the work for you, when possible. I don't see Maltose and I'm not interested in voting him. MMM saying he's bored and wants out doesn't do anything to change my mind. Seems like an emotional ploy.

Hal Incandenza posted:I take that back, I don't think MMM is a good lynch at all. Earlier you thought Meinberg came off worse in the exchange between him and Pig, with which I agree. What's changed in his tone since then and can you give me any kind of solid example as to how his tone here is different?

Merkin if you have anything useful to claim we could probably use it now, I see us apathy-lunching you otherwise.

CapitalistPig posted:I'm not, seriously, loving reread the interaction between me and somber and if you are town you should have no problem seeing that somber is scum. I were scum why wouldn't I push a) Merkin, who I have been on all day and would make me look consistent b) Hal, because he's a popular target and any serious pressure would coerce Juanito to give up more information c) Meinberg, because Meinberg ? You're so close to actually making an argument, just go a little further!

MildManeredManikin posted:Well yes, because That's not what my argument 'basically' says. That's a pretty selective bit to respond to anyway. My criticisms of you are largely about how you argue whether than what you argue, like taking a single point out of a larger context to prove something more or less unrelated. I was about to spend a fair amount of time writing a response to this line of argument and then I realized that isn't scumhunting and neither are you.
