Elements Mafia 40 - by Zawadx

A few questions for Zawadx

There are 2 Bugged Shards, correct?
May you reveal which Normal Gamebot abilities are in this game? Or, at the very least, how many vanilla Gamebots there are?
What is the difference between "skill" and "identity"? Under what possible circumstances can one know a player's skill without being able to extrapolate his/her identity?
If the Donations Manager uses the skill on Night 1, can he/she then use a shard ability that same night? Or is the shard ability for Nights 2 and 3?

I will not reveal the number of Bugged Shards, sorry.
Hmm, there are NO vanilla gamebots for this setup. So this is an actual Role Madness.
'identity' means forum name and such. So suppose you have X skill and your skill is switched with someone through PvP negotiater. Then they will gain X skill, but they won't know they gained it from you.
The Donations Manager gets the shard skill for Nights 2 and 3 if he uses his skill night 1.

I also just understood that Oracle not revealing identity was a bad idea. reverting Oracle back to old form (PvP Negotiator stays the same)

Not wanting to put a vote on someone during RVS? SCUMZOR!

No Vanilla Townies? Oh My Gods, this IS a role madness indeed!

RootRanger: I'm afraid for 15 players it will be 11:3:1 and not 12:2:1

What are your thoughts on the roles? You had a lot in #39 and they worked out pretty well.

This question goes for everyone – I meant general ideas of course. Like "I think the x role should do y because..."

[Dm]

I think the burd role should do chirp because that's what burds do
I like this RQS
More plz

PS: Elk, Mathman101 and Fippe are mafia

Called it here first

RVS and RQS and demonic pizza demons make no sense to me... ;-;

[Aneninen]

So. They make no sense.
How about this pigeon?

[Espithel]

*Hugs the pigeon*
Please explain this unfathomable world to me, good pigeon.

* Pigeon chirps!

RVS or Random Voting Stage is one where votes are made very early in the game with no serious reasoning given.

At the beginning of a game of Mafia, each Townie has precious little information about the setup. As a result, the first set of votes are made with either no reasoning or humorously flawed reasoning.

RQS or Random Questioning Stage is an alternative method to the RVS to start a game of Mafia. It can take a couple of forms, either with the instigating player posting a string of questions to each player (typically all in the first post), with each player in the game getting one question, or doing it survey-style and posing about 5 or so questions for the whole game to answer.

This forum's only big enough for one burd.

-The dethy must coordinate to ensure that their reports are useful. I suggest that a less useful power role claims, and if uncced, admin claims and reports to them indefinitely. HP guy on him.
-PvP and Oracle keep using their abilities whenever they can. Donations guy should not use his ability under my plan, because it might interfere with the PvP guy

Basically that was what I strategised as town play. I of course have mafia and Third Party strategy too, but only an idiot would reveal that openly.

In any case, what I propose is that we get a clear today, so Admins can claim straight away.

Let's do it this way? A less useful power role (I propose the donations manager since he shouldn't be using his ability now as is effectively a named townie) claims, and either a) A counterclaim occurs or b) a counterclaim does not occur.

If a), lynch between CCs. Obviously.

If b) Admins can start PMing the clear, and the doctor like role should be on him.

Maybe we should have 2 clears, come to think of it. You think?
