Every time i see this topic update on my subscibe list, my heart soars for a moment.
I hope I haven't triggered any other players by posting.
The chandeliers of the hotel atrium cast a gentle light onto an alien and harsh atmosphere. Gone is the pleasant frolicking and copious consumption of alcohol that had been the past-time of the holidayers these past days in Sicily. Instead, desperation has set in. The tourists begin eyeing each other - tense, nervous. A piece of paper is torn into scraps, and each person handed a pen; ready to write a name and cast the ballot that will lead to the death of one of their number. As a present reminder of the need to be right, the severed head of Crab, the Irresistibly Sexy Australian Tourist, stares over them with sightless eyes.
not much from the first day. usually just gotta kill someone the first day and hope we can take some info on who dies/does not die during the night
Well, funny story, but I've been in a bit of a similar tricky situation before (it was a while ago, in a little village in rural Russia), and there was a guy who actually wanted to die - that was his idea of "winning" this whole twisted game.
So, if there's anyone here like that, well....we have to be careful not to kill them. But with so many people alive right now, our chances aren't so bad.
That's usually referred to as the fool role. Are there any neutral characters in this game?
RIP Crab
Wouldn't it be better just to no lynch the first day and move the game along, then to pick someone at random to kill?
Believe you always gotta kill somebody
I really did not sleep very well last night. Dat Agent Carter premiere.
What was everyone else doing when Crab got decapitated?
So many shifty figures already... Crab was a most kind hearted fellow, did not deserve this.
When Crab was getting decapitated, Palmer, I was eating a most delicious meal at the Hotel Diner. At least, I think that must have been the same time... who knows the exact time when Crab got decapitated?
Do you know, Palmer?
I'm not really sure how to go for lynch vs no-lynch. Statistically, we are more likely to lynch someone innocent, OTOH, if we really do have about 20% mafioso, we need to get them quickly.
Pretty much yeah. It's advantage Mafia if you lynch round one, as it means you lose 2 -3 tourists minimum night one plus whatever other functions they can perform.From what I see experienced mafia players tend to not lynch on the first day.
What is the absolute worst thing that could happen if we blindly lynch?
I've never played such a large game though, nor one where we didn't know what the roles were.
That's a little surprising. In my IRC and internet forum mafia experience, I've almost never been aware of all the roles.
Depends on where you played, probably. In most of the games I played we knew the roles beforehand, or at least how many of which alignment were around (like for example in a 12 player game, you'd know that there were 8 villy-sided, 3 maf and 1 neutral).
We could kill our cop or doctor (or whatever other power roles there are), making it harder for us tourists.
Also, the mafiosi know each other, so in case of a random lynch they can all agree on voting the same person to get the bandwagon rolling.
It's less fun but I suggest not lynching anyone on the first day. Unless someone has a better idea, of course.
