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?

New site feature: Voice chat press
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?

brainbomb (290 D)
06 Jan 16 UTC
Im on my phone and Im not going to go back and quote for you every single petson who has said that killing the vig is a bad strategy from Maf Perspective. but it is. and the fact you want investigations and are interested in talking about why killing the vig is a good idea; is that what your saying? Now it sounds like your almost trying to coach someone on how to play the role.

Brainbomb, you really need to work on making sense. Also maybe talking less. You make the thread hard to read.

##VOTE bo
I still like the Balki lynch more, but bo is clearly lurking in the hope that this disappears and that's very much not OK.

##VOTE bo
I still like the Balki lynch more, but bo is clearly lurking in the hope that this disappears and that's very much not OK.
Anyway those posts.

First one from bb occurs 13 minutes before y2k dies:
"@y2k the slips are far more arbitrary in this. I cannot stress to you enough that there is a shitload of moving parts all around us happening. I will provide you with reads tonight after my road trip but there have already been signals sent to the masons on who to avoid. there have already been signals sent to the vig on who to kill tonight. And the cult have already gained enough info to pinpont a few PR's on both sides most likely.
We are talking about lynching Bo, while sure Bo could be town. He might be the only useful town PR, the tracker. in which case I'd actually say keep him alive. The Tracker could save us and as far as him getting gunned he has no idea who not to shoot. plus the fab might gun him too.

I say we noose Bo until he claims and if he claims tracker we spare him. Its not against our win condition since he has no idea who his own teammates are. its not an alliance either because his info helps his win condition too. If he tracks me for example, and I was visited by someone, then Bo despite being the enemy could be reserved for useful purposes."

Basically what he does here is not only acknowledges y2k, but also gives a defense of bo, which would make sense if he were the vig. As he would probably want to buy bo time to survive. He also claims there are already signals to the vig on who to kill, and this statement makes lliterally no sense unless he was sending such signals, or was recieving them. I also feel his whole talk about the vig is a sort of misdirection.

The Next one is one that appears right after y2k dies, but before bb is "aware":

"1. If we consolidate wagons onto Balki and Bo, we prevent a tie. Balki has stated he just wants to lynch someone and move on. Bo has all but sacrificed himself. If deadlines approach we should kill balki over bo, because bo is very likely not a Mason.
2. Tonight vig will kill 2 people, after lynch the game is down to 16 players. Cult will convert and grow to 3 members, masons may convert and grow as well. By morning mafia will night kill, and QM will have gunned, if Fab also guns we could be looking at a pile of dead bodies for SoD2.
3. With this in mind consider the odds that a lurker cult or town is still alive. Consider them a prime candidate for lynch.
4. Mafia may already be on brink of losing by EoD2 if we mislynch."

First he misunderstands how the vig works, which is something literally no one should do unless they are doing it on purpose. Next, he tries to push suspicion onto Balki onto bo, despite the fact that bo is the obvious candidate.

The Third one is when we start trying to find out who the vig is:
"I think it goes against the spirit of the game to use that information. We start getting into when the GMs online timestamps were too. I dont like it. If anything vig did us a favor (sorry y2k love ya buddy) but no literally now we know we wont lose any Maf PRs tonight. Lets kill bo or balki.

See you in about 5 hours when im in clinton missouri."

He is specifically trying to discourage a search for the vig. This wouldn't be a problem if he was openly opposed to the search like guak, but rather is specifically trying to keep info to a minimum.

Overall, the fact that he gets more defensive the more we press him, and more desperate to shift the magnifying glass anywhere else. The more worried I am that he is the vig. (also, isn't this only bb's second game?)

Dude what the fuck is wrong with you?
@bo: are you going to actually defend?

I guess that would work as a question about the game, but that was not the intention.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
06 Jan 16 UTC
No, I'm playing to my win condition. This is a stupid setup and I got the stupidest role and it is better for my faction if I'm dead.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
06 Jan 16 UTC
Ironically, it's better for the cult too, but they'll probably win anyway so I don't really care.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
06 Jan 16 UTC
By suiciding, I gave my faction a boatload of reads and I hope they use them well. I'll explain more later on. If you guys want to leave me alive, it would actually be in your favor considering the existence of my role helps the mafia.
Fluminator (1500 D)
06 Jan 16 UTC
Just claim BO. If you're a town power role, nothing should stop us from working together against the cult.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
06 Jan 16 UTC
Taking out the cult this early helps the mafia more than the town. I would rather take out the fabricator.
Or we can just say to him, "k thanks bye"
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
06 Jan 16 UTC
You could, but that hurts mafia. If you're the cult, then yes, you should say that.
brainbomb (290 D)
06 Jan 16 UTC
Vash. I see you put a massive amount of efforts into connecting the dots. So in your mind I talked the most about the vig. so I am the vig. I also didnt know the rules on the vig. so I am the vig I also invited myself to be converted or killed or shot or lynched. So That just feeds into your narrative too. Its starting to sound like no matter what I say or do it somehow = vig strategy.

Everything you wrote there is absolutely me talking. Its absolute bullshit the case you are trying to build with it however. You literally wasted an hour of your life compiling my ramblings which 15/18 remaining players would tell you is usual annoying brainbomb crackpot thoeries.

Fluminator (1500 D)

So how does lynching you hurt mafia if you say you aren't interested in cult hunting anyway?
Fluminator (1500 D)
06 Jan 16 UTC
The more I think about it, the less sense BO is making. Are you drunk right now?
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
06 Jan 16 UTC
Because a) I'm not the town role you want to kill and b) by killing me, one of the mafia roles becomes useless (which is my ultimate goal here), and it just so happens that that mafia role is the best mafia role for stifling the expansion of the cult in the next few days.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
06 Jan 16 UTC
Ironically, yes. I was never tall enough to reach the fireball but I am now.
Oh, so you're that role.

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.
