`Roxas` +4 (winning team, alive, figured to recruit LLight)
Xhin +3 (winning team, told loophole strategy in case of death)
poptart! +1 (winning team, one point penalty for inactivity)
Zanic +1 (being alive)
Knukles2000 +1 (figuring Xhin was the Cultist)
CtR Black +1 (surviving)

LLight +3 (winning team, surviving)
chiefsonny +3 (winning team, surviving)


Will post a reply telling how many additional points I will give to others for surviving to the end in previous games, since I have changed my interpretation of this rule.

And I pointed out all of Knukles' flaws in day 3. I basically led him to his demise. I should get at least one point for doing that.

I'm a bit sadfaced that I don't get points for ensuring that my strategy defeats death.

It's also still possible to post while silenced if in another post because not everything is locked and it's possible to post without buttons.

You didn't. You planted seeds of suspicion on him.

Fairly good arguments are not equal to solid evidence and facts, which Majora used to bring about Knukles's end.

I'm unsure if it's proper protocol on this forum to post my join message now or at 1 in the morning.

April 15, 2012
Edit
MajorasMask9

My policy is that anyone can play as long as they don't have a negative player score and if they aren't banned.

In other words, you qualify to play if you're free to post in this forum (i.e., not globally banned or banned in this forum).

Oh I forgot to say that I'll sign up. Hopefully I won't get caught up with the statistics this time and will be able to focus on the psychology behind the game this time around.

I'm still kind of interested in figuring out how the number of rounds we can vote no kill before it starts screwing us over unfavourably.

Sign me out if Xhin wants to be an ass like that for no reason regardless of role as he said he would. In which case... sign me out. I've had enough, no sense in getting rilled over a game too.

Zanic, no one except for the people who won got more than one point. It's really not that big of a deal.

Apparently yeano's going to start the next game Wednesday. I went over my plans with him for an automated system that lightens his workload considerably. It would also automatically tally votes for you guys and split threads when they get massive so it would be useful for players too.

I'm going to be busy this week, but I'll try to work on it tuesday and wednesday (and tonight of course). If it's not done by then then no big deal because of how I'll program it and the next game will proceed manually.

I definitely want to get it done before yeano goes on vacation though so the game can handle itself while he's away.

I hope your kidding. But you WERE Cult you know. And the way you were talking kind of gave you away...

Knukles2000

I had everyone besides you convinced I wasn't cult. If you honestly saw past the facade then I congratulate you; but the fact that you killed the doctor makes me think that maybe you just have a vendetta :P

@Yeano,

Just finished reading the post in the Dead Thread. Hope you keep that for all future games. From reading it, it looked to me like it made those that had been killed, still feel like they were a part of the game.

Glad LLight suggested it and glad you installed it.
Kudo's to both.

Anyway, that first game did not go as well as I hoped. -.-

Ehh, I need to think things through more. I apologize to CtR and the townies for my mistake in going for Majora. My impatient behavior cost us the game.

April 16, 2012
Edit
Zanic

Sheesh, Zanic. Don't take it personally. No one blames you for the town losing. It was a high stress situation, and you have to realize that the cult almost lost too. If they had chosen another person, they WOULD have lost.

April 16, 2012
Edit
Yeano

Lancer blames me <.< >.>

Naa. But I'm taking responsibility because it was my decision. And I'm fine with it.

April 16, 2012
Edit
Zanic

I'm not gonna lie, i was impatient too. I probably should not have voted no kill those two nights in a row. and coulda tried to think through the final night's decision.

Also i like all the strategies the cultists were using. my pick of zanic had no strategy behind it. i just felt that he was most likely to be a townie. i picked poptart because i didnt expect the cultists to have already picked an inactive player, but that they may later, due to his inactivity. and i picked marjora cause i thought he was a culist.

Either way, everyone played a great game.

Haha, I had fun freaking out in there whenever it looked like the Town made a blunder. I was completely fooled by Majora's gambit, though.

Lancer blames me <.< >.>

Where did you get that? Yeah, I think recruiting Majora was a bad decision, but CtR had his part in that, too. That wouldn't have been so bad had the town lynched someone like Roxas the day before and not rushed straight to the night round. Then again, if I had chosen to recruit Majora instead of Teddy we may well have had a much better situation from the start. No one person deserves all the blame for a loss...and besides, blaming someone on your team for a loss ignores the good playing that the winning team did to win.

April 16, 2012
Edit
white lancer

I wasn't really expecting to make it to the end. I figured somebody would catch on in a normal day round and gone for the lynch or the Masons would have targeted me. And in all honesty, I took a stab in the dark at picking up Shadowwalked.

Yeano said that the cultist and mason aren't playing this round. He gave me an idea of the roles playing:

  • Townie
  • Godfather
  • Silencer
  • Doctor
  • Cop
  • New mafia-sided role
  • New townie-sided role
  • New townie-sided role
  • New third-party role

    The mason/cult dynamic was an interesting twist. If you look up the potential roles on Wikipedia for this game, then you'll see the possibilities are endless.

    Question for Xhin though, what kind of automated elements were you planning on building for this game?

    Since we have more UK people in this game, I can say "top of the mornin' to ya gov'nah".

    While I'm here and I saw someone comment about inactivity, there needs to be a penalty for inactivity. Point deductions or role reveal based on percentage for every round not notified comes to mind. Any better ideas?

    Yeano already has a point deduction in there for inactivity. Really though inactivity might make you die quicker.

    Question for Xhin though, what kind of automated elements were you planning on building for this game?

    Everything, basically. There'll be a system where the Host sets up some game variables (like how long each round lasts, the ratio of roles, etc), and there'll be a Role Editor with some pseudoprogramming that makes it work. Once the game starts the programming itself does everything that Yeano currently does (and much quicker too). One interesting thing about this system is that players will be able to have more than one role -- which would make things like the Mason and Cult more interesting.

    I started too late on this though (been really sick the last couple of days), so all I'm going to set up for now is a vote tallying script. Basically, in order to vote you have to pick a name out of the Select box (there are also options for "Not Voting", "No Vote", and "Random"). There'll then be a "Vote Roster" above the reply area that has two boxes, one that shows every vote someone has done in all rounds, and one that shows the current tally.

    You should also use cyan font for the automated vote system. Just a personal opinion.

    (there are also options for "Not Voting", "No Vote", and "Random").

    Will the Random be similar to the roll?
    And if so will a number range be automatically set?
