Re: Share your talents! (We all deserve a little bit of publicity)

Um, well... I have made myself an expert on contract law and public sector contract law in particular, a couple of years ago I earned a Masters' Degree part-time while still also working full time. I am now starting a PhD on the same basis, and last year I got my first significant academic journal p...

Re: MAFIA 48: SIGN UP THREAD

##CALL GM if a challenge is issued in the first half of a day phase, does this mean that there will be a lynch at the 24-hour mark, halfway through the day?

##gm note
I will answer anything else shortly but just saw Jamie's question. Town Gladiator can get up to 3x nks so the town does have that power it just has to be earned.
Ah, yes, I see. Thanks.

Re: MAFIA 48: SIGN UP THREAD

##CALL GM: Two of the Mafia roles indicate they are Night Kill immune. As far as I can see, however, none of the town roles, nor the Survivor, has a night killing action. Why is it relevant to indicate that somone is NK immune if there are no night killing actions available to target them anyway? Wa...

Kind of like that game where everyone was town with a gun and there was no mafia.
That's a troll move right there.
Yes that was a "bastard GM" scenario where some of those involved stepped away from the game for a while...

Re: Population growth and religion

On this issue there is actually very good data, and the results are pretty clear: https://youtu.be/ezVk1ahRF78 For those who don't have 13 minutes, the conclusion is that religion is not the deciding factor in family size, wealth and child mortality (as well as access to family planning) are the ma...

Re: Population growth and religion

Population growth is slowing significantly, and will cease to be a major issue by the latter half of this century.

So 'someone' should write a game composed entirely of third party positions... Do the third party would be able to have a win in the wall.
I assume this is a joke.

Re: Mafia 47 - The Sixth Mass Extinction - GAME THREAD [HIDDEN]

Just out of interest I went back and checked the outcome of all Mafia games which took place here on the *new* forum, following the switch over from the old one in December 2017. Here are the results: Mafia 47: Mafia win Mafia 46: Mafia win Mafia 45: Mafia win Mafia 44: Town win Mafia 43: Town win M...

Re: Mafia 47 - The Sixth Mass Extinction - GAME THREAD [HIDDEN]

What do you all think is happening that makes town lose? I'm genuinely curious since it is more likely one is town in any given game and I'd like to win as town. Actually the trend of Mafia wins is very recent, so I don't think it's all that much to worry about. Here are the results of all the main...

Re: Mafia 47 - The Sixth Mass Extinction - GAME THREAD [HIDDEN]

To the GMs: Thank you for running a fun game. To the Scum: Well done, you played well. To my fellow Town: I am sorry if I contributed to our loss, especially on Bozo at the end. I will say to Xorxes, Worcej, and Bozo, however, do take a look back at the way you spun and misinterpreted and conspirac...

Re: Mafia 47 - The Sixth Mass Extinction - GAME THREAD [HIDDEN]

I think I explained my attacks wholeheartedly. Your ideas, in the context of what we knew at the time in the game, were bad. They were bad, and the frustration at how bad they were was warranted. There were certainly good reasons to attack over it. I obviously disagree. The way the game went, I thi...

Now the game is over, can someone on the scumteam explain what the purpose was of Dargorygel fake counter-claiming Espresso's role?

What was that all about?
