Can confirm. Being fucked up for life sucks. Yeah, it's not the most likely thing to happen. But I'm fortunate enough that I can make due without the nonexistent help of the American government. I know far too many others from support groups who aren't that lucky though. This shit is serious, people are killing themselves rather than live with the after effects. That's all I'll say on the topic. I'm here to play mafia, not argue.

Yeah, I was certainly on the more extreme end. Took a lot a year to mostly recover. Getting a lot of rest early on probably helped to keep it from getting too bad.

I did feel perfectly fine for two days after losing my sense of taste and smell. Then it hit me like a freight train, worst it got I wasn't able to stand and was bedridden.

If you get any bad symptoms and want advice on anything that can alleviate them, just let me know. Been there done that. Just don't take horse dewormers.

Forgot to write up and send in my role. Just sent it.

Indubitably.

We're playing mafia again?

I'm way too busy for mafia right now. Might have time again in a couple months.

I'm going to have to sit this one out. Getting really busy and I don't think that's going to let up anytime soon.

Why not just remove "stuck"? Just have miss and hit.

It can be used to hurt town or scum. But it seems in practice to start out as being pro-town but then it quickly narrows down who is who as people die and roles flip. Overall, that's going to favor town more than scum. I do like how it can be used, but it seems to have too much of an impact on the game compared to standard scum hunting.

A delay would have helped for my activity too, but just for uncontrollable reasons. Had a root canal and it took a bit longer than usual... so my time this game was much more limited than I was expecting. That and I tried "town" posting stuff without actually reading everything. One of these days I'll be town again

Mood.

Alright everyone, time to start shooting.

Just because I was mafia doesn't mean you were right.

An astoundingly deep response from Cat5.

Trying to keep up with everything, but I really don't like this. People who miss aren't "effectively cleared" because a town role has a very high chance to miss. There is certainly the statistical argument that they are more likely to be that role, but as we saw last game people can still hit or miss when they're more likely to have the other result. Treating it more than just the percent chance likelihood and wandering into the "confirmed town" territory was wrong then and it's wrong now. Anyone who misses is more likely to be a conscript, but we're missing another piece of the puzzle. That's the piece mafia has, because they know everybody's alignment already. The only side that gets any close to confirmed is mafia, it gives them a better picture as to who they should try night killing. Conscripts shooting everyone willy-nilly has a higher chance at killing town than mafia, gives mafia an advantage at finding power roles, and eliminates future kill attempts that could be used against revealed mafia. I'm always sus of Shade, so this doesn't scum read to me for him. Cat5 says he's neutral on it, but his words seem otherwise. His posts about are only about how "powerful" it could be to town while discussing none of the disadvantages. Scum reading Cat5, but not enough to vote on D1. I'm in favor of a nolynch today. ##vote nolynch

If you like turn-based 4X games and a scifi setting, then you'll absolutely enjoy it. It's taking a bit to figure it out, but it feels like an incredibly deep game. There is currently an ultimate bundle for it on Steam.

Unfortunately, I bought Galactic Civilizations 3 right before the game started and I have fallen ill with One More Turn Syndrome... I've now read through and I'm mostly caught up. Unfortunately, I have a pretty solid town read on Shade right now so he's got to stick around. I don't have much more to go off yet.

Give Shade the giant squid role. Have it die D1 because there's no water.

Wishing we had snow here. It's just a dead grass Christmas for us.

You don't have to participate all throughout the day or know everything that happened. If you're town, focus on what you can notice that seems like something mafia would do, then take the time to discuss it.

Sign me up!

I'd also have base classes that everyone would be assigned randomly (the amount and type would be where the foundational balance for the game comes from). So maybe certain abilities (i.e. cop ability) can only be purchased by a specific base class or an item has bonus effects for different classes. When I have time to host a game (sometime in 2021) I can just create a topic with a poll on what to run.
