Wish I could actually experience it for reals. Stuck on an Air Force Base most of the time in a very remote corner working pretty long days. It's tiring but a lot more rewarding than my last work and I'm learning stuff (exterior electrical distribution system analysis and design). Unfortunately leaves me with too little time to really keep up with fast moving threads like this one. I'm apparently 1000 posts behind since this one, yikes.

Quidthulhu posted:poo poo post 24/7 and barely play the game, lurk hardcore and check in apologetically and contribute nothing else, earnestly play with the two or three other increasingly frustrated people who are trying to earnestly play. My second game ever was flatluigi's amnesia mafia, where the scumteam won handily by just not posting. It was a scumteam of folks like varinn and snowsomething and fronz(?) who basically didn't really play mafia, and as a result won. It's like talking on your cellphone at OK Corral the entire time, and when the dust clears you're the only one alive so people write ballads about how you won the gunfight.

to change the topic slightly, has anyone ever run a game of mafia with this rule or something similar? *the only thing you may do in a post is vote one person On its face it seems stupid, but maybe just analyzing vote patterns and how flips go might make it unusually stressful? Other potential rules to throw in might be limiting the number of votes a person can make at any time and to disallow unvoting (you can only change your vote to someone else after you vote). The former would just help limit "case via spam", and the latter might help make LYLO hilarious: which towny has the guts to put a vote down that could be dogpiled by the scum? And which scum have the guts to dogpile knowing someone may immediately unvote?

No one will question my rule as - hell, it'll be FFX by then - I rise as Sin and destroy whatever bullshit name they gave to the world Yuna was born on (X2 was better - fight me) Instead, HERE WE ARE, once a-loving-gain. The sole solace I take is that I'll grab 7/7 wins easy but I'm not wasting my time loving around with realworld tomorrow's circlejerking. that was the best game.

The only other type of player as bad are the smug jackasses who treat never actually posting on-topic the whole game as some galactic-brain level strategem instead of lazy and game-ruining.

Lumpen posted:
(1) The town needs to collect parasite samples to study. They do this by capturing and quarantining an infected (scum), ie voting/lynching. (2) The lynch target dies, but the parasite jumps to another host (the scum can decide who gets infected). There is no parasite transfer infection (nightkill) when this happens. (3) Thus, there are always 3 scum. (4) The town wins when a total of three scum have been lynched. The scum win when they control the vote, with one caveat. (5) When the scum would win via vote control, the town may get one last chance via CHAOS FLAMETHROWER round if they had lynched exactly 2 scum during the game. If they town had failed to lynch 2 scum, they lose immediately. This happens regardless of how many town players are alive at the moment (should be either 3 or 2). (5.a) The most recently infected player get immediately revealed and dies via flamethrower. Two scum are left. The hunt is on! (5.b) Every player must publicly list as many other players that they would kill via flamethrower. This is effectively making a scum list. Players are encouraged to list ALL the players they think are scum, and ONLY players they think are scum. (5.c) All players will make a list, but after all lists are made, ONLY the town lists are considered afterwards. (5.d) The names that show up on EVERY town player list are flamethrowered, and die, permanently. (5.e) If the town members kill all the scum this way while leaving at least one town member alive, the town wins. (5.f) If even one scum is not killed, the town loses. Might need to be a 15 player game to provide the town a better shot at 3 lynches.

Lumpen posted:Yeah people say this so much but it isn't a convincing argument if you look closer. And there's really no cure for it without disrupting balance or game flow in some way. Replacing players leads to blank slates introduced mid-game that tend to either be given way too much slack or no chance at all to evade a lynch for reasons outside their control. I like the idea listed earlier: lurker gun. Give the 3/4 most active players all a proportional chance at a lurker gun each day (more active = higher odds). It can only be used on one of the least active 1/4 of the players, and no closer than 12 hours before deadline. Encourages scum to post to avoid death. Scum posting results in higher chances of being detected by town, mitigating the inevitable townies getting shot. People getting shot leads to discussion and analysis. Easier to deploy for larger games than small, for obvious balance reasons. Only caveat is that mod needs to maintain discretion to ignore spamming for the sole purpose of gaming activity level.

CCKeane posted:I've said that a lot, probably every game or so I've played for the last couple of years, but I also do think we are getting a bit ridiculous with game expectations; numerous times I've seen people annoyed that somebody didn't post in less than a 24 hour period, and that's just flat out ridiculous. And I know everybody is going to say "oh that's not what I mean" but it kind of is? It's encouraging lazy players to make mock contributions by post cou theoretically then you lynch the people making such terrible arguments about postcounts. busb: I have no chance to play mafia with my current schedule. I'm overloaded in the office, then next week I travel for a week of field work in cape cod, then the week after that I'm teaching a course in electrical modeling in san antonio. I like mafia but my job is completely incompatible with having the needed free time or brain cells to play.

Jonathan Fisk posted:It’s not sniping to disagree with you, merk. Characterizing it as such doesn’t make you come off as the big man to anyone that matters. Your argument for not modkilling alaster was that "he promised to post more", I thought? Not "it's on the town to deal with him". He shoulda been modkilled about D3 or D4 to minimize end-game impact. You literally cannot play the game of mafia on the forums if someone refuses to post. It's not a town strategy to to abandon their best weapon to hunt scum (the lynch) for a day, the town should always strive to lynch the scummiest poster, which a player like alaster can't rationally claim to be. I enjoyed the game, and the town lost because not many of the townies had great reads or the ability to convince others to vote when they did (outside of Chores and maybe SK Kaschei). But I really think you oversold the idea that this was good players bringing their A-game when you let alaster (and to a lesser extent Keane, from D2-D5) do that without any recompense short of the town abandoning scum-hunting in favor of house-cleaning.

FWIW I've been catching up on Phoenix Wright games (had a bit of hiatus, last one was like Ace Investigator). So probably 1/2 the way through Dual Destinies right now. When I finish I'll probably try to make a big game similar in spirit to the previous few PW games I made.

Toalpaz posted:mafia is alive and flourishing even without some of the everdunes players. I think its cool how Fisk got some old people into the game again. Made me realize how much of the game was meta reads for me lol. You aren't kidding. My second game in like 5 years, and I still kinda used meta reads to help me explain why I did things in the game. And I think other players trying to meta me really helped me too. Avoiding meta is HARD.

I hate when people call me scum when I'm town, because I know I'm town and therefore they must be scum faking content. meanwhile I have zero clue why anyone WOULDN'T call me scum when I'm scum, cause I'm obviously a bad scum faking content.

I mean, there was a vanilla game Lumpen hosted where players could only vote via lumpenlists. The scum won pretty handily, only making it close because psych got bored and doing some weird lylo bus. Lists are only as good as their player is in that particular context. They are best used in an organizational sense to help other players calibrate their reads and prompt searching questions. Ideally one towny can ask another "why do you think X person is towny" and maybe a discussion leads to uncover an unnoticed scummy behavior. And at worst, yeah, it's either a lower effort way for scum to pretend to provide content, or else it's something the scum can use to gently caress with a listing towny. I think what got lumpenlists their original notoriety was the meta he applied to them. Which did lead to a great game when he broke that meta. Beyond that, lumpen's usually high effort, even if aggravating, so you can treat his lists as an organizational summary rather than replacement for effort.
