Quality Live Game
I was considering starting a RP (Rulebook Press?) around 4pm EST (New York City Time). I was thinking 10 minute phases (assuming that the auto ready on retreat and builds will save us a ton of time) I would prefer if you have at least 10 games to your name and the bet will be 50 D. add your name in list format below. I will send out the Passwords at 3pm EST

Checking adjacent territories
Is there any way to check ahead of time, in any manner, if two territories are adjacent? There are some territories that seem adjacent, but I don't know if fleets can travel between them. I just don't know how to see if they are or not and don't want to take the chance they aren't and try to move somewhere only to find out the next move is impossible

Playtesting my boardgame online
Hello everyone,
version 1 of my boardgame is finished. It was brought to my attention that it's probably a good idea to test it online. Two things needed there: 1. players and
2. some sort of adjudicator to use, with which I can easily add and move around 6 unit types, factories, territory markers and 4 kinds of resources, while also keeping track of various variables (although that can be done fairly easily outside of the adjudicator).
Can you help with either of those?

Its simple you get a 7 player game public voice chat and webcam channel. So its like the closest thing to ftf Diplomacy since sliced bread. Can you imagine the look on Valis face when I build a fleet in Mar and hes in Italian Leponto. Come on webcam and voice chat would be hilarious.

Design Competition
See broadexpert.com if you want to help with the design of my start-up company. You may make some money. I'm not going to a design company for a reason though :-)

Meanwhile, I want to start a discussion: I have a debating competition coming up next week and one of the statements will be: 'High school students lack ambition'. If I'm against this statement, I thought it would be a good idea to bring up the company. I'm not sure whether that's socially acceptable though?

Posts prior to y2k's death (Starting on page 7):

"I'm keeping my vote on ghug now but I'm definitely in favor of lynching the player that lurks the most." (pg 7)

"i have no argument against ghug. i have no argument against anyone. i don't understand any of the arguments people are making that show someone is cult/town or what not." (pg 8)

"i guess my biggest red flag on ghug is calling balki "uclabbian" as if that's a point against him" (pg 8)

"is there a reason people feel like they need to join a wagon right now? I'm suspicious of wagon voters." (pg 8)

"someone help me and highlight the townslip? copy it or point me to a page?" (pg 8)

"i found it, page 3. [][]VOTE bo_sox" (pg 8)

"i reiterate again how no one should be claiming traitor" (pg 9)

"jamiet, why is guak better than bo_sox?" (pg 10)

"masons are the closest thing to actual scum. the other minority power roles are more like third-party now than in the minority "scum" team." (pg 10)

"why is anyone against lynching bo_sox? I would only consider lynching the lurkiest player over bo_sox, save for another egregious slip." (pg 10)

"balki, what the hell is 'suspicious behavior' to you right now?" (pg 10)

"suspicious behavior to me has always been sensing an ulterior motive to "finding scum", but given the complicated setup, it's hard to interpret true scum-hunting from anyone, so the only suspicious behavior to me are blatant slips now. once we have some flips, rereading D1 will be a lot more useful." (pg 10)

After this y2k was killed.

So he seems to have been doing the following:
-focusing on lynching bo
- a minor focus on lurkers
-wanting the masons dead

My guess is the first and third are why he was killed.

The people who posted within 2 pages of his death (which may have a slightly higher chance of containing the vig) in no particular order are:
Balki

Jamiet
OB
brainbomb
Claesar
guak
delarosa
HR (abotu 40 min after the shot)
guak (3381 D)

@Vashta: a vig who has already wasted one of his shots and only has two left is hardly as dangerous in this setup as a cultist or mason.

@Claesar: the thing is there is no way we are going to have a 100% shot at a town PR that is not mason unless that PR claims, something that is not going to happen in this setup anytime soon. However, it is quite useful to see who is trying to target town PRs that are not mason since those people are clearly not Traitors. Valuable info right there. People like Vashta.
Claesar (4660 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
@Guak: They are indeed not Traitors with the same strategy as you. Don't forget to keep me on that list..
@guak: A vig that has two shots left is hella dangerous. As mafia we want to protect our PRs. These PRs are not vulnerable to Masons, they are vulnerable to Vig shots.
Also, guak, I don't see why it is troubling to get someone who is a likely town PR if the alternative is someone we are completely unsure of. It is better to lynch someone we are pretty sure isn't town, than someone who we have no idea on. Numbers are important, and us traitors can't afford many losses.
*pretty sure isn't mafia
I hate having to deal with reverse mafia terms. It's so weird.
guak (3381 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
I have zero qualms about voting to lynch traitors utilizing a suboptimal strategy if their suboptimal strategy makes me think they are not traitors. I do not think you are not a traitor at this point, why would I add you to the list of bb, Vashta and BB?
guak (3381 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
@Vashta: you are wrong. Why would I want to protect our PRs? It is no different than any game as VT. PRs are nice, but VTs have no business protecting PRs over advancing their win condition. I would happily trade a PR for guaranteed scum in any regular setup. Why wouldn't I be willing to trade my PRs for a cultmaster or mason? I will take my chances with the vig. Focus your efforts elsewhere if you are mafia, because we need to find cultmaster and mason.
guak (3381 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
Also, the alternative is not someone we are pretty unsure about, The alternative is someone who is very unlikely to be a traitor. That sounds like a pretty good kill to me.
This whole discussion is ridiculous. There are no characteristics to look for on this day.

Please ##end

RIP Y2k
If HR is the vigilant, I will love him forever.
I would guess the reason Y2k was shot was his deal about not claiming traitor. Vigilant's main priority is taking out maf power roles, and there is no way he shot Y2k because of who he was pushing.

Bo will need to clarify what he means about his alleged slip. It definitely didn't seem like a reaction test, and that would be a stupid test to make. There are 7 non mafia roles hanging around (out of 18 now) so I find it more likely it was a slip. It wouldn't be the first time scum bo reveals himself on day 1.

Balki making an *alliance* with me makes me lean towards thinking he's not cult or mason and I'm not interested in lynching him right now.

I think lynching a lurker first isn't a bad move in this setup. I'll catch up more soon.
ghug (5068 D(B))
05 Jan 16 UTC
Quick thoughts before I go to class again:

I don't know why everyone is assuming the Vig is stupid. His team's the smallest it's likely to be for the foreseeable future, and he got a kill off that provides limited information to the rest of us. Plus, with three night actions capable of rendering him permanently powerless, it's in his interests to get his shot off quickly.

Bo is lurking hard. I'm not sure what to make of it. I am pretty sure that if he is on a team, delarosa is on the team with him and unwisely trying to blatantly protect him.

Balki is the scummiest thing since sliced bread topped with pond scum. His initial proposal suggests he's probably not a mafia PR, and everything else he's said has been about limiting information and protecting himself to the detriment of that information, which are both traits of non-traitors. He should be lynched.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
That's getting old, Balki.
@guak: Wait, so you are saying let's kill someone unlikely to be a traitor? Isn't someone likely to be vig also unlikely to be a traitor? I don't follow your logic.
Claesar (4660 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
Trading a Town PR for Mafia PR is certainly a good deal in a regular game, so you're right that it's probably good here as well. Not sure that's where we're heading, but I understand the reasoning.
@ghug: Actually the cult's team is the smallest ATM.
Claesar (4660 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
I think Ghug said his team will only grow, if I read that correctly. So chances for the Vig to not shoot a teammate are best right now..
Claesar (4660 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
i.e. the longer the Vig waits, the more likely he shoots a teammate.
guak (3381 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
@Vashta: Someone unlikely to be a traitor who is hunting for the vig is a better kill than a random guess at vig due to timestamps that will likely yield a traitor.
@ghug,

(1) Why do traitors want information?
(2) What information can traitors realistically hope to obtain from Day 1 in this setup?
(3) What should traitors be looking for on Day 1?
(4) I think it's fair to say that I have been vocal in explaining my unique and controversial understanding of this setup and correct strategy. Is that not a data point that flies in the face of your unsupported assertion about me: "everything else he's said has been about limiting information and protecting himself to the detriment of that information"?

Thank you for your consideration.
Claesar (4660 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
@Balki: I am thrilled with the amount of information I got this D1, so I cannot relate to your 'understanding'.. How are you not learning tons?
xorxes (31128 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
Lots of stuff to process...

I can't make much sense of the Vigilante shooting so early. The only thing that I can think of to explain it is if they wanted to change the topic of conversation. Could Balki be the Vig, since he is one of the main waggons, and seems way too desperate to survive?
Fluminator (1500 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
Vigilant hunting is also pretty useless.
As long as the masons are at 1 or 2 members, there is a decently high chance all of them will be killed visiting a mafia power role. The moment they get up to three members they can split the vote and have a bit of safety. Hitting a mason (or cultist) is much better. If we do hit the vig, fine, but I don't think we should be specifically targeting him.

Also DEAR BO.
If you are a town power role, I urge you to claim since you're probably getting lynched anyway. If you are a town power role, we can leave you alive and work with you to find cult. What say you?
Claesar (4660 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
I'm not sure Balki was too concerned yet? The Bo-train was trucking significantly faster..
@Claesar,

Fair enough. Let me clarify. I am not learning any information that will help me advance my win condition in this game of reverse mafia, with the one exception that I have learned that Bo is marginally more likely to be a Town PR or Mason than anyone else.

On the other hand, I have learned a tremendous amount of information to provide further support for my thesis in my forthcoming biopic regarding the explosive genius that is brainbomb.
xorxes (31128 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
@Cleasar, where did you get the idea that my vote was based on some grudge? I think you may be confusing me with someone else. I voted for guak because of his lurker fame, but he hasn't been lurking, so ##vote Balki for now.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
##CALL GM

Vote count please.
xorxes (31128 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
Actually, ##vote Bo. I agree that getting a mason should be our top priority at this time, and Bo if anyone has a chance of being a mason it's him.
Claesar (4660 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
@Balki: I'd pay to see that biopic. Maybe. I hope I won't dream of it tonight though.. Either way, I'm off.

@Xorxes: Perhaps grudge was indeed not the correct term. I changed that in my notes, thanks for reiterating.
@xorxes:

"...Balki...seems way too desperate to survive?"

Please support this statement in two ways. First, explain what I have done to exhibit desperation to survive. Second, explain why desperation to survive is a characteristic of some specific role and not all roles.

Also, if people really think they are scumhunting in some way, please consider HR's helpful guidance, which he himself seems to need to be reminded of as well. If you are looking for a Cult Leader or a Mason, you are probably looking for someone who is not trying to stand out or attract attention. It's no sure thing, but it's at least a reasonable profile.
Claesar (4660 D)
05 Jan 16 UTC
@Jamiet:

My notes suggest 5 for Balki and Bo. 2 for Ghug. 1 for Brainb, Guak, Vashta, Chaqa.

I might be off a few though.

Russian Opening to Silesia Spring '01
This opening has become a little personal favorite of mine, (if I am Russia, France or Italy) and am wondering if anyone has thoughts, experience, or tactics to share about it. Convincing Russia to do it if you are France or Italy can be difficult -- but well worth it for all involved. You need an imaginative Russian though.
