Exile Token on the Celebrity I suggest that one of our town players switch the conman back with the scientist's card that is not underneath them.

Sorry, too tired to update atm, but assume that all of that which happened was handled correct and is good. It's PBS Newshour's turn, there are 2 exile tokens on the Hermit and 1 on the Celebrity. Max switched the Conman's card with the Scientist's hidden card. Everything else should be the same as end of last post. Thanks.

Alright, MG2 is clear, which is good to know, but it also means we don't have to worry about the child still which is doubly good

The card of the celebrities I saw did not lead me to believe he's a cultist. And pbs is clear also

So the conman currently has a card that should really go to the bottom card of the scientist. If the celebrity is clear (the card I saw indicates not a cultist) then it would be best to keep the conman next to the hermit.

I'll wait for PBS to make his exile vote, then get a new updated post with all the stuff that went down last 2 turns.

Yeah, in my mind we get the scientist next to the hermit and we'll be safe.

Part of it is not k owing where the other beneficial traits are and how to gently caress with them. Ideally you could drop a bunch of good ones on celeb and then exile, but that only works if your turn order puts you near the end.

Yeah, I mean let's be honest about this, since I'd like to understand this game, but I have no idea. It feels like there are too many things to keep track of that even if I was trying to go along, I'm not sure what I would do, nevermind trying to sabotage, nevermind trying to sabotage covertly. And since I'm third, I can't control the vote since you all can just pile your votes on somewhere else. I think this may, in fact, be a bad game.

The survivors and their rules, the pseudo-random abilities and their rules, the traits and their rules, the randomized player order and then on top of that you have someone who has to try to sabotage the game secretly. It's way too much. Part of it might be the forum format, since not watching the physical cards move around makes it all feel too abstract and hard to follow. I couldn't tell you what card is under what survivor, what each card means without looking it up and trying to figure out the interaction, what your plan is and how I could even begin to try to mess it up. And none of that includes the abilities we all have.

it needs much more of an active discussion, and like yeah we play mafia pretty "actively" as a community on this site, but forums discussion is just inherently passive.

I think this is actually a good, and maybe even brilliant game. I just don't know if it translates well here. Like even on skype it would work better. Another thing going for it in person is you could probably play this in like 15 minutes? I am gonig to print this out and try it for sure.

Like my favorite setups of mafia on this site typically involve the ones where there is kinda a mystery to the setup, you get these little clues from dead roles and what powers are in the game, maybe a few hints from flavor, and then you try to puzzle out the clockwork. But mafia really isn't meant to be play like that, and it typically can only work for a few special occasions like The Final Frontier game. What this game does is that it still presents that kinda sense of mystery of finding out what the puzzle here is, while still keeping the whole idea of paranoia from traitors. Its really neat, but I think this really doesn't come across in a forums environment. Like I said this in my PM, but this is basically a version of resistance where everyone is a team captain at once, and you only have one mission to fail. This makes communication even more important than it is in the Resistance in someways, and yeah, Resistance doesn't work well on forums either.

One thing that might help in a future PBF game would be to give each of the trait cards a unique number, to make it more practical to track how they've moved around and talk about them.

I think it also doesn't help from a mafia pov that I don't have any extra knowledge whatsoever. There's no benefit to being a cult leader, it's just straight up more difficult. In mafia and in Resistance the bad guys have knowledge that the good guys don't, even just by knowing each other. I have nothing here that helps me if you decide to work together, and because I'm 3rd, you can just shut me out.

Actually i think cult leader is probably easier than town, there is a reason why there is a chance for them to not even be in the game
