game 26 day one let the games begin

Posted March 27, 2014 by Castrael

Day 1:
eXcavator is sitting at the curb, wondering who would do such a thing. Apollo Justice and Shadowwalked arrive at the curb to make sure he's alright. eXcavator shrugs them off, wanting to be left alone. Apollo Justice and Shadowwalked walk away from the scene. A meeting was to be held in the village square or what's left of it.

Apollo Justice is staring at the Notice Board. The Governor has left a message to the Town:

{boo}

Apollo scratches her head, wondering what it means. She shows the rest of the town and they look at each other and wonder the same thing.

If the round ends when 2/3 votes are in (standard procedure), it should be 72 hours or 16 votes to end the round, not "day actions" (look)

On a game related note: wot @ burning (:|) did I miss something big or is there a burning role I'm completely unaware of? I just reread the role descriptions in Night 0. (crs)

Thanks... I realized I made another mistake.

I'll keep an eye that for the next rounds. And, the same goes for Day Priority actions, I'm guessing?

March 27, 2014

Wait... So the Watcher's target each night is revealed to the town the next day?

Fixed.

Wait... So the Watcher's target each night is revealed to the town the next day?

No no, I get where you're coming from. I wasn't thinking when I did that. It shouldn't be revealed.

I'm not going for another restart sooo, just ignore what I posted. Or, should I just make a new thread since nothing really has happened?

March 27, 2014
Edit
Castrael

It can't just be ignored.. now everyone knows who the Watcher checked

March 27, 2014
Edit
Apollo Justice

Did I make any more mistakes or am I good...? If not, the game will continue and when Lancer shows up again, he'll help...

March 27, 2014
Edit
Castrael

She's right (Apollo.) That's information that if the mafia or Serial Killer get a hold of, they can use it to their advantage. They know that a specific house was watched and if they visited that house, they know that they were seen, and if they didn't visit that house, they know that they weren't seen. It probably seems like a small detail but in a game where limited information is everything, that's a pretty big thing :/.

March 27, 2014

MajorasMask9

I understand that, Majora. I made a mistake and I apologize for it.

March 27, 2014
Edit
Castrael

The Governor has left a message to the Town:


Apollo scratches her head, wondering what it means. She shows the rest of the town and they look at each other and wonder the same thing.


Where's this message posted?

March 27, 2014
Edit

I think the message was "{boo}"

March 27, 2014

MajorasMask9

lol.
I think you're right. Thanks

March 27, 2014
Edit

Um, what.

Was excavator the Watched target...? Or is there really some secret power role that burns people's houses?

March 27, 2014
Edit
The Bandit

Yea I'm totally confused what's going on here...

March 27, 2014
Edit
Moonray

I made a mistake on my part... and I'm not doing a restart.

March 27, 2014
Edit
Castrael

But what does: 12. eXcavator - Burnt mean?

March 27, 2014
Edit
Moonray

He wasn't meant to be listed as "burnt." He shouldn't have been listed as anything. He was watched by the Watcher in the last round apparently, which is what Castrael apparently meant to write, but we shouldn't have known this either way.

March 27, 2014
Edit
MajorasMask9

Hope he has burn heal.

March 27, 2014
Edit
Bubba

So does his role not get revealed?
Or was he the governor, and that's why the mysterious ghost was left?

March 27, 2014
Edit
SDYoshi

No, The Governor just left the message: {boo}

March 27, 2014
Edit
Castrael

Why, God.

March 27, 2014
Edit
Speed Bike Pro
 

OK. So no one will be burned in future rounds. Hopefully.

I guess it's not a massive mistake. The Watcher could still be anyone, including excavator.

March 27, 2014

The Bandit

Or did no one die at all?

I'd like a restart unless the "Game" in this round's title is in possession of something.

lol @ the governor btw

@SDYoshi: No kills allowed night 0.

March 27, 2014
Edit
Speed Bike Pro
 

Yeah, nobody is allowed to die on Night 0.

ALTHOUGH if someone received a gun, somebody could die before Day 1 ends... That's something you don't see too often.

March 27, 2014
Edit
Jo Nathan

whoa whoa whoa hold the phone
What does it mean that I got "burnt"? Am I dead?

March 27, 2014
Edit
eXcavator

It was an error on the host's behalf. You were checked by the Watcher and Castrael meant to put "Staked" instead of "Burnt" even though Watcher targets are not supposed to be made public.

March 27, 2014
Edit
Speed Bike Pro
 

Just read the thread more carefully, I think I get what happened now. Ignore my previous post.

March 27, 2014
Edit
eXcavator

Was going to say, since when did we have an Arsonest, and what is the point since every house was Burnt at the game's onset.

SDY, our host forgetfully revealed that excavator was watched, which she shouldn't have done.

The emote was the Governor being goofy and has nothing to do with Cas' mistake.

March 27, 2014
Edit
Feral Wolf
The Rogue Wolf

*applies burn heal*
Anyway, I don't think that this is a serious enough mistake to call for a restart. I don't suppose that anyone has any useful information gained last night?

March 27, 2014
Edit
eXcavator

For the new guys; restarting entitles re-randomizing roles and starting back at Night 0. We would use the same rules and role list. The roles would be distributed randomly again.

If we do restart, I suggest now before the game actually gets going.

March 27, 2014
Edit
Feral Wolf
The Rogue Wolf

Seems you are alive eXca. Even though it was a host mistake, no one on either side has any burn powers so any information given really doesn't seem to help much.

As for the Governors message, the mafia does have a Silencer on their team. Maybe they silenced him?

March 27, 2014
Edit
Lightvayne

If people are willing for a restart, I'll do it. Only if OTHER people are willing to wait and I won't rush it into this time. Since I have nothing planned today, tomorrow or Sat. Except going out for dinner with family Sat night but that's about it. We really didn't get too far.

March 27, 2014
Edit
Castrael

Sorry had emotes turned off for some reason.

I see no reason to restart, but that just me.

March 27, 2014
Edit
Lightvayne

I agree. It's an error, and it could be used to the mafia's advantage, but its not as serious as it could have been. The Watcher can watch himself, as far as I know, so there's still some randomness to who he is. I say we keep going.

March 27, 2014
Edit
The Bandit

I'm fine with continuing, but keep in mind if there isn't even a basic understanding of the roles in play, then there will likely be another blunder. Mistaking the Watcher for someone who burns houses down means that basic understanding isn't there, and with so many roles in play, it'll probably get confusing. And that's not a slight on anyone's part, I'm just trying to be realistic. And there were other errors as it was, such as not understanding the voting ratio for the day round.

March 27, 2014
Edit
Apollo Justice

Well, sorry for not understanding such a basic thing.

March 27, 2014
Edit
Castrael

As for the Governors message, the mafia does have a Silencer on their team. Maybe they silenced him?


As amusing as that would be, I'm sure that the Governor being silenced is not what led to the message being "{boo}"; the Silencer has no effect on night actions, which includes the note left by the Governor.

Speaking of which, where does the Governor's note fit into the NAP?


I think I would support a re-randomization, but not very strongly.

March 27, 2014
Edit
hezekiah

I have to agree with Apollo here. This wasn't exactly a game-breaking mistake but hosting Mafia is something that requires a lot of attention to detail. A lot of it. As the host, you're juggling a lot of different responsibilities and managing a lot of different threads so all it takes is one slip-up and the whole thing is pooped. And when that happens, saying something like:

I made a mistake and I apologize for it.


or:

Well, sorry for not understanding such a basic thing.


won't always cut it.

I'm not trying to be harsh but there is cause for concern after a couple of standout things from this game already as well as the numerous Game 24 resets. You've gotta make sure you do everything correctly and then double- and triple-check, especially when you're transitioning between day and night rounds because there are differences and it's not as easy as just swapping out "day" for "night" in the main thread.

When you mean "not very strongly", you mean only randomize a few roles, right? If so, we did that once and players still wanted a re-start.

Can we just start the game, please?

He meant that he wouldn't be opposed to a restart but he's not exactly gonna head the campaign in favor of one either.

Edit
Castrael

Well, you guys keep pointing out my mistakes. I already know them. I'm already feeling bad as it is.

March 27, 2014
Edit
Castrael

It's not to make you feel bad, it's constructive criticism so that we can all have a gay old time with some good ol' GTX0 Mafia. Especially when you're the host, you've got to have some tough skin for when you make a mistake because people are going to be confused/upset/etc.

It's no biggie now.

March 27, 2014
Edit
Speed Bike Pro
 

I certainly wasn't pointing out mistakes for any reason except agreeing with The Bandit, but also saying there's a concern of possible future errors. You took it as an insult and I clearly said that it wasn't meant to be a slight; I wasn't trying to point out your mistakes, but especially with new players, everyone wants a smooth-running game.

March 27, 2014
Edit
Apollo Justice

you've got to have some tough skin


Which I don't have atm... Anyway. You're right. I'll be more careful next time.

March 27, 2014

Boy, this game is already out to a great start. God, it's like Feral hosting all over again. Whose bright idea was this?

I'm confused, due to the error, still I'll try to play the game.

So no one can die Night 0, which is pretty cool. But we have no real information either.

And we know eX was targeted by somebody. Who'd target eX? Somebody who knows him, or somebody who doesn't?

Per Castrael's request, I'll be taking over as sole host from now on. I don't think this is significant enough to warrant a restart (especially not in a game with so many people), so we'll be carrying on. As far as I can tell, all other night actions were answered correctly.

Please don't no-kill. The day is at least long enough for us to gain some decent info.

Well, Redack hasn't posted at all yet. Since my question never got answered, I'm not sure if he could've been silenced (my question last night about Night 0 actions went unanswered). Knowing if the Silencer got to Silence might impact what I do with my vote later, but I've also never been a fan of the D1NK. So for now:
