Dargle Magoo is playin!???

Aw shnickerdoodles.

[Vecna]

This site really just lacks imagination in early phases. I could use too many letter S's in my early post and get flagged for trying to code nessages to scum

Even though you are totally right here, you do have a tendency to take this shit to far and overlook potential consequences.

Good example being you fakeclaiming getting roleblocked in a setup with 2 trackers - not something town should do, and it can literally lose town the game by getting people falsely towncleared.

How can me being falsely clear as town game throwing.

Tracker tracks roleblocker. Roleblocker doesnt visit anyone. Brainbomb claims RB'd on that night. Tracker townclears Roleblocker because of false information

[DoubtingThomas]

you can already smell that this game is going to be a great game when the players are arguing even before the game starts

Actually... this is pretty normal...
But I agree, this game is shaping up well... other than the schnickerdoodle comment.

I mean he falsely clears roleblocker of not carrying out an ACTION period anyway. My roleblock claim does nothing to change the odds that person is mafia. Accurately pinpointing roleblocker N1 is like 1 in 50,000 odds

[brainbomb]

Another mafia member claiming to be roleblocked also falsely clears both him and fellow roleblocker


Wouldnt you rather have a town get cleared for lying than 2 scum getting cleared for lying?

In this case, though, if either of the mafia is lynched, it invalidates the other claim as well. If town fakeclaims roleblock and gets lynched, the roleblocker still looks cleared because there's no reason to think the town fakeclaim is false.

*ALL players will be assigned a character (Loki, Thor, Doctor Strange, Iron Man, Ect) at the beginning of the game, not just a role. This is because some VTs have stones or other special functions and assigning a name to a player instead of just a role will be easier to keep track of. The roles of VT’s will NOT be given to them at the start, because of the potential for a D1 mass claim*

**due to issues raised by BB last game or the game before, I will be randomizing the player list, then randomizing the character list and assigning, then randomizing the order in which PMs go out.**

***Cooldowns full explanation: Cooldown of 1 phase means you must wait a full phase after using the item to use it again. If you use the item in the middle of day 2, you must wait the rest of day 2 and all of night 2 until you can use it again on day 3. Cooldown of 1 full day means you must wait a full day and night phase after using the item to use it again. If you use the item in the middle of day 2, you must wait the rest of day 2, all of night 2 AND all of day 3 until you can use the item again during night 3.***

I think we should start a tradition to lynch BB the first day. It is the only way to be sure...

[worcej]

Personally I am excited for this setup - I think it's unique and will have some fun interactions.

I can't wait until someone HC's having a stone lol...

[yavuzovic]

Cool, I want to be VT again so I can act PR and attract NK like I did at last game.

The Time Stone looks like something that is more useful to Mafia than to town? If the current phase is shortened/lengthened what effect will that have on the next phase (i.e. if the day end is brought forward from US EDT 5:00pm to 11am will the next night finish at 11am or 5pm?)?

Well, if two wagons both claim PRs at the last second and you need some extra time to sort things out so that BB doesn't almost lead a wagon off of scum and onto town or someone almost ties the vote up, then I think the time stone could be useful to town. Also, a shortened night could screw mafia over.

This is something I've been having a hard time with because in our world the time stone takes from one day or night and adds it to another if I use standard phase end times and that's not how I want it to work. I also don't want phase end times to constantly be changing, but it seems like the best solution is to just have phases run their normal time (24 or 48 hours) whenever they actually start. Meaning if someone edits D1 to end 5 hours later, N1 would begin and end 5 hours later than it normally would, while if someone ends D1 5 hours early, N1 would start and end 5 hours earlier than it normally would.

[RagingIke297]

Also, I updated the Soul Stone so if the Serial Killer activates it, it remains active if he loses it:

1 Soul Stone: Becomes active in the possession of the Serial Killer, they can use it to perform a traditional night kill if they choose. If Serial Killer loses the stone it still works for Mafia or Town!! Item is attached to a certain VT at the beginning of the game, they cannot give it away. The serial killer learns which player is said VT at the beginning of D2.

I've got a headache already

I guess the concern is that the end time may move in such a way that it is inconvenient for some people for the rest of the game (e.g. if we start with US EDT 5pm then the end time is moved to US EDT 11pm this could potentially make it hard for all but the most ardent European Mafia players to be online at the end of the phase for the rest of the game).

This is correct too. Maybe in the interest of having people actually be able to participate time will either be taken from or added to the next phase... I'll put out a formal decision on this soon...
