Elements Mafia 61 - by Linkcat

[Demagog]

I don't have any information about the game setup to manipulate this game. My hands are tied, sadly. Just be patient and eventually I can win us the game, friend.

Why do I not believe you?

You're not even trying to give ideas, hypothetize or create random percentages. The civvy Dema would have at least guessed how many mafia would be in this setup with the given number of players. An analysis on Role Limits would also be due.

Demagog please

You're going to have to hope that someone got me as a role, I'm roleplaying to win.

[Demagog]

We all know the sort of players that Linkcat might have made power roles

Actually, I have no idea. Could you fill me in? For instance, I could see him making my role the ability to sway votes. I could also see it being a power role, not for any egotistical reasons this time, but because I haven't been given the impression that anyone is roleplaying as me. I imagine power roles would want to stay hidden, and my personal playstyle is attention-grabbing.

I'm not entirely sure how I should go with this roleplaying thing. Let's just start with the scumhunting.

Do you really think our roles would make us any better at scumhunting? No. Someone roleplaying as Demagog won't make them Demagog, that would only make them post a lot of filler bread.

[Demagog]

I'm not sure what your point is, Sera. If you go read my posts the last couple games, I'm pretty sure you'll see that I don't believe in scumhunting. It's pseudoscience to me. Get lynched enough times for how you act as a civilian and I'm sure you would agree.

Based on how "unique" the role I got is, it could basically be anything at this point. I doubt we could really use the roleplay as a potential clue to actual role functions. Unless if someone else disagrees.

So to everyone: How off is your ability compared to what you'd think the role you're playing should have?

Let's say it this way then: if someone was given the Demagog role, they wouldn't suddenly post some elaborate plan with the percentages at all. Especially with this closed setup. We can't rely for that to happen. It's just flavor.

[JonathanCrazyJ]

Essentially, don't hold back with playing well just to roleplay. Everyone has their own assets in a mafia game, which are hard to manufacture. It is possible to roleplay for flavour while still using your own assets to win the game

[skyironsword]

I think my ability is exactly what it should be. It's quite admirable, really, the amount of dedication and effort clearly put into the setup.

I'm glad I got to participate in such a perfectly crafted game of mafia.

I think Demagogliapootles is the Paranoid Mechahitler.

[JonathanCrazyJ]

lol, oops. So yeah, this is why i never read rules when i sign up, because I usually read rules once i get my role. Being forced to read rules when I signed up meant that I didn't read rules again when i got my role, hence forgetting shit like that

Although it is pleasing to know that what I instantly thought of as powerful in a closed set up has been ruled out already, probably because it's powerful. Nice job Link.

JCJ(?) goes to read the rules thoroughly again.

[Demagog]

Oh that's what you meant. I was just using myself as an example, particularly because I haven't played enough with most people here to know how they play. I agree with you.

And Sera, doesn't your question give hints about who may have what roles? We might expect the Solaris role to have something to do with the day phases, but what about someone like Espithel? Anyone that answers your question is someone with a role like Solaris, dawn to dusk, or CleanOnion, right?

@JCJ, Dema: there are no roles that can alter voting results. Voting modifiers were banished to oblivion before we even started.

I think Demagogliapootles is the Paranoid Mechahitler.

Hahaha, sorry. That post was breadcrumb satire. I thought it was really obvious when I posted it.
