Remains of assimilated crew, along with other detritus, litter the surrounding area.....one of the sub decks wedged between the proper levels of the ship.....a quite suitable spot for crafty Susians to plot their takeover of the ship and the remaining human crew.

So we're newbie, incompetent Susians but we can still communicate at all times, which is perfect.
And yes, I'm playing dumb in the thread. I know we don't have a guaranteed nightkill, but a chance to nightkill. GR told me in PMs this was a regular game and not a cult game long before I asked about it in the thread. I forget what that kind of strategy is called, and I'm sure it won't be missed by GOG Mafia veterans that what I'm doing is a lame attempt to make myself look better without working too hard, but yeah.
I don't sense significant heat on myself, or on Sage, so that's a good start. I sure do hope that we lynch every day, including Day 1, because if RNGesus hates us, we could go through the entire game without one nightkill. At least we can vote.

The harder part is keeping up the impression that I'm Town, and I read in a prior game that the player with the most posts tend to be Town. It's... kind of a very hard standard for me to achieve. I'm not a fan of just talking about anything without an occasion. It gets even worse here because implying something by complete accident will send me behind the sun, Town or not.

I think the best thing about me (most of the time anyway) is that my thoughts tend to be something I'm actually thinking as a player and not as a mafioso or town. So when I talk about the derpclear thing being something we give up too easy, I mean it.
That may have worked for me in one of the later games where I had to lone wolf the second half of the game (probably the Bizarro one by Joe) and convince Lifhtrasil that I'm good and Microfish is the bad guy, and it worked.
Still kinda early game to worry about anything, though.
Sage, you don't seem to a be a forum mafia newbie to me, so far. If you could convince Town to lynch someone, who would it be?

My answer to that question would probably be Frostburn. I know I said and agreed he says scummy stuff as Town a lot but it's the person I have the strongest case on, but even that is weak at the moment. Derp clearing half the player list is something I would go after but right now it's not really bad enough to look like I'm voting him out of natural suspicion.

Sorry Im late. But just like most periods, better late than never. I haven't been in quicktopic for the longest time and it seemed to movve my username to inactive. I could log into proboards with my email but I didnt realize my user name was no longer mine until G mentioned he shouldn't find me.
I try to always post as town. I did slip in my opening post on re-reading it but no one seemed to notice. I also thought it a good idea to bring light to the opening mod post about the possible NK fail. Why would scum bring light to a possible failure. I was hoping G would not tell that it wasnt a cult game so we could stir the unknown more.
Frost so far is who i would vote to lynch over his/her actions so far. Micro hasn't posted much, dedo is mia, trent hasnt added much to the game so far. I think taking frost out by lynch could push the game for us to try to mold.
I have not gone into the gog forum yet to see what I missed last night.

Sorry Im late. But just like most periods, better late than never. I ran the previous game and I had a lover combo. One of the lovers was pretty much MIA and didn't contribute to the game at all. This is already an improvement ^^ And yeah, it's sad that QuickTopic kicked the bucket. It just worked. ProBoards is just too much effort for Mafia games. I try to always post as town. I did slip in my opening post on re-reading it but no one seemed to notice. Unfortunately for me, dedo suspecting my musing about the mechanics. Now I'm trying to play it off as the work of a clueless Town, and that even then it's not a leap to get there. I hope it works.

Do you think power roles are at play? I was assuming. haha yes i just said one should not do that. That it was 2 to 6 straight wolf type mafia game. Mechanics and so many various possibilities end up confusing the hell out of me.

I think there are power roles. How likely they'll fail will depend on how many, so two might be 60%, four might be 30%...
I just come back to the thread and it already went out of control. Come on, there's so much commitment I can put to something on any given day.

I was hoping G would not tell that it wasn't a cult game so we could stir the unknown more. Yeah, I could've kept the fact the game isn't a cult game a secret, but some players expressed dislike of such games and I didn't want to sour their playing experience. GOG Father! Question! How are our NK action determined to be affective or not? Do you roll a dice and if it lands on even it works? I honest thought about this allot last night. I simply go to a random number generator, set the range to be 1-3, and then roll a certain number of times(3 or 7 times, usually). If a 1 or 3 comes up then the NK will be successful, and if a 2 comes up then the NK will fail.

If I say I don't like power roles will you tell me if we have them? Just joking. Im perfectly happy playing this game however the creator and mod would like it.
We really did lose power last night so I am behind. I am trying to catch up on what I missed. I did see that frost is still on the top mafia push for lynch.
G said our NK is dependent on a certain number being rolled. I don't feel power roles are at play yet and if they are I bet they are also dice roll dependent. Or can only use them every other night. I just feel that 2 mafia with 6 power roles would be a slaughter, of us.
Someone I think micro is coming off as a bomb and someone else was coming off as a possible serial killer. So who does know.

Also a cult game? I was under the impression has a cultist to try to turn others to their side. And possible to have mafia as well. That was what I thought a cult game was. Am I wrong Pooka? Can you explain your definition of a cult game.

Post by The GOGFather on Jun 29, 2023 2:42:11 GMT
G said our NK is dependent on a certain number being rolled. Yep.....it's a success percentage(in this case, 2/3 chance of succeeding). To facilitate this on my end I plug the numbers 1-3 into a random number generator, and if the chosen number(in this case I picked 2) doesn't come up then the NK succeeds.

Can you explain your definition of a cult game. oh wow, I meant to respond to this after my last post in game.
I didn't look up or research how a cult game works so far, but I have that same impression too: cultist attempts to get people on their side. Not impossible to also have a typical Mafia team in a larger, more chaotic game.
But aside from that, a cult game is almost exactly the same as a typical Mafia game except the "Mafia" can increase their numbers and thus change the win condition of any new recruits. Looks straightforward to me. Of course, when pressed for it, don't use or draw from my definition unless you're planning to bus me or something, or it will look like we talked in scumchat.

I just wanted to make sure I was on the same page as you with what a cult meant for the game. I have had to google quiet a few times so far on terms used in this game. It has been so long since I was active in playing and even at that I may have 5 to 6 games under my belt total. I could be wrong but I can only remember a handful.

Huh, just five or six? At this point I thought you had like somewhere up in the double digits. Forgot to say, welcome back to GOG Mafia! Things have changed a bit massively over the years. For one, we wouldn't be able to talk during the Day were it not for me pushing for always available scumchat over nightchat in recent games.
Heck, Secret Hitler #2 and Joe Sapphire The Movie (apparently game #57?) are already four years old, that's right about when I joined up. (or to be more accurate, when some guy called zeogold convinced me to sub in with agentcarr who had to leave SH#2).

Catventurer's and Frostburn's back and forth made me think of a good question. Who should we nightkill? There's a good chance Frostburn will get lynched at end of day, so I don't need to think too hard about him for now.
That leaves five people: - scene - trent - catventurer - microfish - dedo
Ideally I want to take out someone who is most likely to be a power role. But at this point there's nothing indicating anything. I'd go with microfish but at the same time I remembered he's getting heat for the prod-vote. Not enough to trail behind frostburn, but enough that it becomes a growing pain later on - so I want to keep him.
New list: - scene - trent - catventurer - dedo
Actually if frostburn goes, catventurer would likely be under some sort of stress for heavily pushing his lynch. There's like two other people on his wagon, me included, but she's doing all the heavy lifting. NEW LIST!
- scene - trent - dedo
The only bad bit about making dedo go is that he kind of pegs me as scum, and pegs you as Town. This is the kind of player that works best for us, I think, he suspects half the scumteam but trusts the other half. A decent dynamic, but at the same time I don't mind him going away, so no new list here. Huh, this method of filtering nightkill candidates is pretty nice.

So many usernames bringing back memories. Dedo and I were both Dons aka godfathers in one of flubs games. We each got to pick a night kill but did not get to talk at all to each other or know who the other picked. Dedo would be my vote to NK right now. scene and trent respectively. I think trent knows my town posting style and I have been posting just like I am town. When I was scum I found out hard to write out my reports lol and i feel behind and didnt care as much to catch up. But this may change. I have not gone into the forum yet this morning.
Reading your last statement, I think scene would be a good NK as of right now.
Thank you for the welcome back. Its nice to be back, it was way to long ago.

Yeah, he has us dead to rights. However, im over letting him bait me. Legit have a photo of 6 tabs of notepad open and try copying each quote to see what is wrong. Its done burned me outtoday, wasted afternoon off just to pacify frosty. If they lynch me sorry pooka I did really play as I would of as town. Im a pot head with dyslexia, maybe this isnt my game. Im not leaving just sorry if I make the game end so quick.

Don't worry, it's Frost. He already put you "near town-confirming" for "not checking context" whatever that is. I genuinely can't track his thought patterns or how he goes from point A to point B.
It's probably more likely I'll get ejected first than you, but I'm not bothering with Frosty's vote. I'll act like it's invisible, because...that's probably not a good idea. A better one would be to confront him with "why do you want Town to vote me after you?". I dunno.

Also I just learned (or maybe I just remembered) what dyslexia is. Sounds bad, but even then you're holding yourself pretty nice for this game. Stay as you are and hopefully the game ends with ONLY Frost stumbling on the real scum team.

I am not even going to try to quote you tonight, But I concur. Some of his posts I have re-read like 15 times trying to see what he means but in the end im just bumble f*cked, no matter how I try to see the statement. Its like his superpower is confusion in language. As why I asked for clarification, I would of done so as town.
I think your move is correct, its close enough with the holiday that nothing major will change and frost will go. I will hammer him if it comes to it. I know it can be debates scum over town but in the end a lynch over a no lynch even for town is better (if i remember)

Its like his superpower is confusion in language. I thought I was the only one who had this problem and maybe his posts make perfect sense. Like perhaps I was reading his posts too fast, or that I skim them when I shouldn't be doing that. But no, his posts are just confusing like that.
And yes, getting a lynch is technically better for Town, but we have conditional nightkills so it's kinda better for us too. If we can't NK and Town couldn't lynch, the game stretches for longer, which means a bigger window of time for us to slip, which means it favors Town more in this game.
Oh, and since you mentioned it in the thread, some players play on work networks that don't take too friendly to using the word "lynch" in their posts IIRC, so that's why we have the kinda-cute alternative "lunch." Come to think about it, I might as well design a future game where the literal method of lynching is taking someone to lunch and talking with them. I'm a sucker for pacifist Mafia games where nobody dies in the flavor.
