Category 5 Hurricane Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Nodlied had a cult in a CYOR back when TheIrishman started playing. Basically, we've had cults. It's not unthinkable. I'm thinking more along the arsonist line myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot about that one. I thought that was one of the most fun I've played. I've thought about doing something like Pulp Novel Chicago mafia again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retaliation Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 I honestly can't believe we played like 5 games of deadspace. I can only remember bits of one or two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeP47 Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Also I've been bingeing zombie media for like the past 3 weeks so I'm in a zombie mood tbh that probably has something to do with it too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish there was (or I knew about) some software that helped with the complexity and updating that has to constantly happen during those. I'd try to do some myself, but it's so much work for what often ends up as a worse game of mafia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't done anything with gaming throughout my professional career, but I do a lot with industrial networking/communication and distributed services. i.e. something that players could send their actions to and it would validate everything. If somebody wanted to pay for it, it shouldn't be that difficult to host as a website for the front end. Might even be possible to do it for free on AWS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoman Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Eh maybe we are reading too much into this as a cult. It seems at least half of us either chose to or can't visit other people right now. Let's say your town, if you got infected, you'd obviously not visit people. If you're on the scum team, you'd do the NK (not pass an infection) and your partner could do their night action. And apparently we have one guy who is just immune to it. It seems like a really difficult job to spread a cult like that. My guess is the knife is a TP NK with a % chance to actually do. Just imagine the chaos if scum, TP, and town (through a FRAYDO mentor thing) all had NK's that were 100% chance (barring blocking). We'd be done by D3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeP47 Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Was I the only one reading it as a cult? Though honestly, these are a good reasons, arsonist/poisoner does seem more reasonable, and I did originally list it as a possibility too so it's not like I wasn't unaware about it being a possibility from the start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade939 Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Could be a zombie cult mechanic still. So a player becomes a necromorph after they die. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeP47 Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 And returning to the jealousy angle, I've wanted to be Pestilence for awhile now with some kind of spreading disease/infection, but I've never been able to make it into a form acceptable to a GM, so if someone else found a way to condense it, IE an infection, I'd be hopping mad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shade939 Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 It's probably worth mentioned but someone was trying to spread disinformation to counter my original statements about what happened to me. I was targeted by an ability that could have made me become infectious, I am not infectious from what sounded like random luck, and not because my ability stopped it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade939 Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 But I might have just gotten the generic it failed to effect you message, and it was because of my ability instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade939 Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Jeod might have intended to use the word infected instead in that PM, but I'm assuming infectious was intended in order to imply what could have happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shade939 Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 We already know for a fact that FRAYDO was killed by a NK. The action I was targeted by is also most likely a scum action, given that fact, it is likely we have a player running around trying to infect other players with a virus. Also, given the fact I was targeted, it was likely that they wanted me to infect other players by me visiting them, or other players visiting me in turn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Category 5 Hurricane Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Let's make sure we're keeping our terms straight, because I also thought you were claming that the infection was a mafia ability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
