Elements Mafia 38 - by Kuroaitou

Definition of flaming on the ruleset, and modified as Kuro sees fit, if Kuro sees fit.

Yes it does. It says Approximately 20-25%. 20% of 17 people are 3.4 people, which is approximately 3 people.

[CrockettRocket]

better yet, the clear destinction between attack and not an attack. (EBWOP still in effect? If not, sorry for these posts of mine.)

[CrockettRocket]

Yes it does. It says Approximately 20-25%. 20% of 17 people are 3.4 people, which is approximately 3 people.

Yeah, which means to get at least 3.4 people for 20-25% you'd need 4 people. 3 people isnt at least 3.4 people because 3.4 people is the minimum 20% Meaning 3 people is less then the minimum for team hunger.

[Fippe94]

Hence the word "Approximately"

[CrockettRocket]

Yeah, but having 3 people falls below the 20% (hard numbers, not approximations) while 4 is right in the 20-25%. I know it said approximatly to begin with, but it just makes more sense to me to use a number that falls in the percentages then a number below the percentages even if it is approximatly the minimum.

[Fippe94]

While I do not know, I just assumed the number was randomized, in this case between 3 and 4

[CrockettRocket]

Yeah but this is typically the math Nae and I used when playing the game to assume 4 mafia. :/ Thats why Im awfully surprised their is only 3 mafia. Made a "perfect game" easier if you ask me. Harder to guess the mafia.

Well, apparently, 3 was enough 

About the rules: do abbreviations in which cursewords exist count as cursing?

Hey! I won! And I only used my ability once, on eljoemo, because all the other people got lynched before we got info!

We laughed so hard that night when the confirmed civvie list was half mafia.

[CrockettRocket]

Well, not having a confirmation role made me have to trust 1 person, at least. But your unresponsivness at the start made me trust you and Naesala for granted. The fact I chose a mafia right off the bat was stupidly low, thus at the start the plan was spoiled. I would have liked to see it when I trusted a civvie at the start.

Spike often calls what I do in blab chat as flaming, I clearly see otherwise, and am taking aback often when he calls it flaming. Thus, for future games, can we have a definition of flaming?

What Spike quoted from the rules.

I'd like to make a slight disagreement with Rule 6.  A person should be able to say "Yes, I'm scum, lynch me" (especially if self-hammering), a move which can benefit the mafia (if a member has been figured out and wants to create chaos to help keep their partners hidden).  The anti-healthy gameplay that is generally banned in mafia is claiming to be scum with a specific other player.

This works when the lynch is subject to absolute majority (i.e. a lynch happens if and only if more players are voting on X person than not), as it decreases useful daytime for town. But over here it's pretty useless; see day 3 of mafia 37. Kuro was confirmed as mafia, so everyone voted on him, including Kuro. No confusion whatsoever. 

Well, apparently, 3 was enough 

About the rules: do abbreviations in which cursewords exist count as cursing?

I'd say no. Generally consider PG-13 guidelines when it comes down to cursing.
