Welcome to Day 1 of Star Wars Republic! I would like to thank Yeano for allowing me to host, and for you all to play, this special Mafia game in honor of Jedi Sith’s 10th Anniversary. Meet the players.

Night 0 passed. Some people on Coruscant reported hearing footsteps in the night, as though they were being spied on… but morning came, and everyone was safe and sound. Did the great planet city’s people have suspicions on who was who? Would someone be arrested or die this day? Only time would tell.

Republic/Jedi: Yoda, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Mace Windu, Clone Arsonist, Padme/Bail Organa, Medical Droid, Jedi Outcast, Jedi Knight (several of these regular roles)

Sith: Dark Lord, Dooku/Ventress, Droid Spy

3rd Party: Jango Fett, Force Phantom

Starting Republic/Sith Ratio: 14-5

A quick reminder that in this game, via the Dark Lord’s ability, several Jedi (normally townie-side members) can turn to the Dark Side, so the Sith ratio may go up without you non-Sith people even knowing! So keep that in mind.

72 hours or 10 votes (clear majority out of 19) for the same option. 7 votes constitute an estimate of 1/3 of the total votes.

Well, nothing to really go off of at this time. I'm going to vote no kill unless something comes up later in the round.

`Roxas`

I'll randomly change my vote even though we have no hope of gaining anything like that in the first round.

Helius

Aww I didn't get first vote again {:(}

Also, just so everyone is aware I likely won't be around tomorrow (Friday) due to being stuck in either a car, plane or airport for a combined total of 25 hours.

No problem, Redack. {:P}

`Roxas`

Not silenced(which would be rather strange considering there is no silencing role in this game. {troll})

As usual, I don't like the idea of a no kill in round one, but I will go with the crowd if it winds up being the popular decision.

Also, what is "Coruscant"? I see it in JS threads all the time, but I have no idea what it means...

May 31, 2012

Feral

With out any info...

May 31, 2012

DragonintheShadow

If memory serves me right (because it's been a while since I've seen any of Episodes I-III), Coruscant is the primary planet featured in Phantom Menace-RotS.

To be honest, I have never seen I-III.

Actually there is, it's just no one has it right now. {:P}

Like Roxas says, it's the main hub of the galaxy, kind of the Galactic Washington D.C.

Okay, so the Droid Spy/Dark Lord combo is really potent and really, really scary. Basically, we can probably assume that one of our own members gets converted to the Dark Side every single night with that combination (because the Spy ensures that the Dark Lord knows for a fact which role someone is). I'm not really sure how to counteract that combination aside from voting someone out and hoping we hit one of the two. What's a sure thing is that the Town is doomed unless we manage to get one of those two out early, and everyone should avoid claiming any role at least until the Dark Lord is gone.

I would say that Obi-Wan (the Cop figure) should only reveal himself if he's got two or three Mafia figured out, because if we kill any Mafia member other than the Dark Lord than our Cop will be recruited to their side. If you get two of them right then we can lynch one during the day and have Anakin (the Vigilante) kill another during the night.

Good strategy.

I would also point out that Mace Windu can't really be turned, because if the Dark Lord goes into his room, Mace will kill him. The only Mace can die is via lynch/arrest. Yoda can't be turned at all, and anyone he protects during the night can't be turned either.

May 31, 2012
Edit
Trever Leingod

As we saw last game, there are benefits to the Cop revealing himself early. But I agree with white lancer, we need to have at least two or three guys figured out of the Sith. The best case scenario is that Obi-Wan has one already.

Being day one I have no clue who can be what as always. So I start out with: {<00}

Just so everybody known, the "Vote Tallies by Round" is massed up again. Still shows last game.

Current tally is fine, though.

May 31, 2012

Feral

I just noticed that Feral o_0 Not sure how to fix that either. At least current tally works right

May 31, 2012
Edit
Trever Leingod

I think only Xhin can. I would make a post in the mod forum.

May 31, 2012
Edit
Feral

Also, the Jedi/Townies should be equally safe if you eliminate the Droid Spy first, because then the Dark Lord will be only able to guess blindly or when someone reveals themselves.

May 31, 2012
Edit
Trever Leingod

Hm.... Hi Teddy.

May 31, 2012
Edit
`Roxas`

Oh hey, Yoda, stay hidden. I will need you after these next few statements.


Everybody:

I am Obi-Wan. {:)} I investigated somebody last night. That person was found Guilty. However, this person will be mad about my revealing his identity, but the sooner a guilty person is out of the game, the better. That person was... Feral.

May 31, 2012
Edit
`Roxas`

I think only Xhin can. I would make a post in the mod forum.

I did.

Well I hope my advice to everyone set you all clear on how the game works in this version. I will be gone for a few hours (most likely) so have fun! {8D}

May 31, 2012
Edit
Trever Leingod

The Curse Strikes again...

Roxas, I am the Ghoul. Spare me today, and I will become another Obi-Wan. If I am not another you by tomorrow, you can lynch me.

May 31, 2012
Edit
Feral

Aw, fuck! Did NOT think that through. Guess I am screwed either way.

May 31, 2012
Edit
Feral

I am willing to take that chance then, Feral. If you lie... {>:(}

May 31, 2012
Edit
`Roxas`

That is the best strategy, unfortunately, you could just be the droid spy and could be targeting our Yoda/Cop.

May 31, 2012
Edit
The Bandit

Okay, I think we need to continue with the no kill in order to see whether Feral tells the truth or not. If not, then we will kill him tomorrow. Can we all agree on this?

May 31, 2012
Edit
`Roxas`

Yeah, but I just put a HUGE fucking target on my back for the Sith. The Medic-driod better save me if the town wants my help...{:s}

May 31, 2012
Edit
Feral

I'm willing to take his word on this, Bandit. We should all do so, considering it's the first day and that is quite a benefit if he truly is Force Phantom.

May 31, 2012
Edit
`Roxas`

Okay, whatever, I don't know what I'm doing anyway.

May 31, 2012
Edit
The Bandit

Yeah, the Medic Droid can protect both of us and Yoda can do his own business as he pleases.

May 31, 2012
Edit
`Roxas`

Roxas, I am your mother.

May 31, 2012

Yoda should just protect himself in case this goes to shit.

The Bandit

Teddy, you're creepy.

May 31, 2012
Edit
The Bandit

Everyone revealing their roles now? {:/}

May 31, 2012

If this works out, then the medic droid can just protect those two the whole game. If the Sith get the droid, then we still have Yoda to protect one of them.

Why does it matter what we do? Do you have something to hide, #85?

May 31, 2012
Edit
`Roxas`

Let's kill him.

May 31, 2012
Edit
The Bandit

Well I dont think you revealing your role was a bad play because you can be protected. But either everyone does or just one does is best, just a few isnt very smart.

May 31, 2012
Edit
#85

Early cop reveal worked out well last game, as did apparently having two cops.

My concern is that we have only a 1/5 chance that Feral is what he says he is. So if he's mafia/sith he's bought an extra round to work evil. If he's actually just Fett then he's kinda neutral in the scheme of things.

But I'll stay with no kill for now.

May 31, 2012
Edit
Count Dooku

Wow Roxas. Lucky. Cop twice in a row? I don't believe you yet of course.

May 31, 2012
Edit
Zanic

I'm willing to sacrifice one round for having two cops from the get go.

May 31, 2012
Edit
The Bandit

I understand that it is more likely that he is lying. If he is, then I will be able to say that in Day Two.

May 31, 2012
Edit
`Roxas`

If he's lying then Anikain can just kill him and we can vote on someone else.

May 31, 2012
Edit
The Bandit

Good point. That's assuming I get a Guilty verdict on somebody else though.

May 31, 2012
Edit
`Roxas`

I had no choice but to reveal. If I didn't, I would have been lynched. Not like I planned to reveal. My original plan was to wait for somebody with a good role to die, and steal it.

At least I can confirm that Roxas is telling the truth. I WOULD come up guilty to the cop.

Anywho, if you guys just trust me for 1 night, I'll be imensly valuable.

BTW, the Sith know I am telling the truth, want me dead, and will attempt to get you to lynch me.

May 31, 2012
Edit
Feral

Alright. I didn't realize that Yoda could protect the Cop--that's good news for the Town. I was also momentarily confused because the Ghoul shows up as innocent to the Cop, but apparently the Phantom shows up as Guilty. Gonna take a bit of time to get used to these new rules. Although...now that Feral's revealed himself, won't the Dark Lord just convert him anyway instead of allowing us to have two Cops?

I have a question for Trever. In the Mafia roles page, it says that both Mace Windu and the normal Jedi have their roles come up as 'Jedi.' Does this mean Mace Windu is ignorant of the fact that he'll kill anyone who enters his room?

May 31, 2012
Edit
white lancer

Actually, thinking about it, if Feral gets taken by the DL Roxas would know about it anyway. Alright, carry on.

May 31, 2012
Edit
white lancer

Good point. Does the Yoda/M-droid protect against conversions?

May 31, 2012
Edit
Feral

It looks like Yoda does, but the MD doesn't.

May 31, 2012
Edit
white lancer

Besides, the DL could just as easily go after Roxas.

May 31, 2012
Edit
Feral

Yeah.

Actually, it's not exactly clear if the MD protects against the DL. It would make sense for Yoda to protect against the DL and the MD not to, but I can't be sure.

May 31, 2012
Edit
white lancer

At least I can confirm that Roxas is telling the truth. I WOULD come up guilty to the cop.

You could have said you were the Jedi Outcast {:P}

Although...now that Feral's revealed himself, won't the Dark Lord just convert him anyway instead of allowing us to have two Cops?

If Feral doesn't show up in the Obi-Wan thread, Roxas can rat on him and then everyone will know Feral is a bad guy either way. It would be better to outright kill Feral rather than for the Sith to convert him, in that case.

Uh I changed this recently, it was why some people saw their roles change shortly. Mace knows who he is and the Outcast will know who he is.

Trever Leingod

Correct. Yoda could chase the Dark Lord off, but the Medical Droid would run or die. He's just a droid, after all.

May 31, 2012
Edit
Trever Leingod

So medical droid should protect both Roxas and Feral and Yoda should protect one of them. If the Darklord chooses the same one that Yoda does, then we win big. If not, whatever, we haven't lost anything.

May 31, 2012
Edit
The Bandit

Yoda won't kill the Dark Lord, but he will save the would-be victim.

May 31, 2012

Trever Leingod

If Feral doesn't show up in the Obi-Wan thread, Roxas can rat on him and then everyone will know Feral is a bad guy either way. It would be better to outright kill Feral rather than for the Sith to convert him, in that case.

I came to that conclusion as well. Thanks for answering my questions, but I'm not sure you should be advising us on strategy because you might wind up giving away more than you'd like. Yeano pretty much always stays out of the game unless there are game mechanics-related questions. Just trying to help! ^^

Anyway, the DL is still a major threat especially since he will come up as innocent to a Cop check. Plus, he renders previous innocent checks suspect because he could have converted players that Roxas found out as innocent, so the only checks that we can trust are "Guilty" ones (and even then, not entirely because of the presence of the Jedi Outcast). And Roxas, you can go ahead and check me. I mean it.

I actually kinda like the idea of having people be unaware of their roles as the Outcast or Paranoid Gun Owner. Might be good rules for Yeano to implement in his next game because I think it would definitely make the PGO more balanced.

I noticed this, but I felt it would be fair to give EVERYONE (even the Sith) some helpful advice for the first game, since everyone needs to adjust to the new take on the rules.

Originally I had it this way but I wanted to follow Yeano's example. We will see how it works out, Yeano can decide if he likes that twist later.

May 31, 2012
Edit
Trever Leingod

Trever, seriously! You can't sit their telling everybody they should just kill me! Talk about abusing your host role!

Also, getting converted to the darkside would be a death sentence to me, since Roxas would know instantly. I hope the Sith realize the logic of that...

May 31, 2012
Edit
Feral

Trever, seriously! You can't sit their telling everybody they should just kill me! Talk about abusing your host role!

I was actually saving your hide {:P} Sort of insinuating the Medical Droid/Yoda should focus on saving you...

Anyway, I am going to shut up now in regards to advice. I've given everyone fair advice on the new rules that they should be able to adjust on their own from now on.

Yeah, if I hadn't said that, they might have thought second about saving you, the Dark Lord could taken you, and then Roxas would bust you... then they'd lynch you. So yeah, I kinda saved you xD

Sky's the limit

Dark Lord is a mix of Godfather and Assassin, except he converts instead of killing the way the Assassin does.

Droid Spy is Mafia Investigator.

Dooku/Ventress is the Executioner.

Yoda is the Doctor, with some Dark Lord-warding perks.

Obi-Wan is the Cop.

Anakin is the Vigilante.

Mace Windu is the Paranoid Gun Owner.

The Medical Droid is the Paramedic.
