Starfleet Game thread

On reading through all the days I'm convinced Feck and UT are scum.

Feck immediately responds emphatically defensive to gib's "let's lynch feck then" post on Day 3. But other of his Day 3 posts also convince me. He gets defensive over Mantis' bringing up the GM post, seems to advocate the outing of town specials, and seems to know an awful lot about why it would be a good strategy for scum to block and kill the same townie (that is, his expressing such pings when combined with everything else).

I also think bili was spot-on in his overall middle-of-the day summary on Day 3. Bili is newly back to Mafia and new to Ratz. His play seems odd and distant at points, but he seemed pretty dogged on Denny and quite examining of others.

grit did i ever get an answer to this from day 2:

grit?

At the time, Aza's death notice only said that he was "mason", not that he was town. He was part of Spock, so that might could be assumed, but I didn't - I've seen safe name claims in many games. The death notice also did not say Aza had any special abilities. I'm use to that being revealed in death notices, but maybe it isn't here, I don't know? Because of my being a mason in a TR game and reading a couple of other TR games with masons, I thought it likely that Spock's brain was a special.

disaffirmativeness. and a bit of a ping, though grit tends to look for unlikely complexities. the GM doesn't lie about a player's alignment in a death notice. in rare cases a role may not be fully revealed if it would give hints about other roles. for instance in a game with 2 doctors the reveal might not indicate that a killed doctor was paranoid.

Starfleet Day 4

This morning you find the Holodeck running that Ten Little Indians program. The chair in which you have found so many other bodies is empty, luckily. Empty all except for an adorable Teddy Bear.

That Teddy bear was the final resting place for Spock's Brain, whom we all knew as Oblivion.

"She's dead, Jim!" spouts McCoy.



Oblivion was a Mason.

You need to elect a new Mayor.

FWIW, I also was mistaken in my DAY 1 summary earlier. Aden, more than bili, seemed fishy in later days about ob's posting restriction. I don't think much of it now either way.

Day 4 is up.

Where did I indicate the GM was lying? MY experience with Mafia is that a GM usually indicates between town and scum and indie. Masons can go any way, even as fellow masons.

But I had tried to post this in Nightchat , which I thought was to end at 12 noon EST, and I didn't read the Day 4 OP before posting it here. IT's obvious ob can't respond to my question. Maybe gib can.

She didn't say you thought he was lying. At least I didn't read it that way.

Maybe you can help me out, ksen. I'm not sure what she and gib are trying to say, actually.

Shit I just lost a really long post when The day broke .

I will paraphrase


@ Grit When did I Encourage specials to out ??? In fact more than once I gave my reasons for voting Mantis as being It seemed to me her posts were special hunting !
Yes I have got defensive this game when my posts have been ignored, misquoted and generally misconstrued and Guess what? you have done it again .

And as for me talking about the scum tactic of BLOCK +KILL It's hardly a secret I'm better at scum tactics than town scum hunting ,Oblivion had already made a post giving one possible reason for this I just gave another one which most player here should have fucking known since I used it in at least one of my recent scum games ,Check the white boards. Did you think it would it would have been more town-like for me not to mention it ?

Oh and I was blocked last night BTW .Which means scum don't have any idea who else to block and don't have a line on towns specials .

[gib]

i can't speak for ob, but i was asking about the phrase "obvious special hunt". It implies someone is obviosuly hunting specials. So who?

What sort of mason do we reckon Aza was? Must be a "wins with town"?

What kind of question is that?

Aza was town otherwise the reveal would have revealed Aza as scum/indy.

Honestly, it's a somewhat obvious special hunt. Ob and I played as masons at TR, where I was vanilla and she was vig. I wouldn't want Spock's brain to reveal, because I'm thinking Spock's brain is a town special.

what's an obvious special hunt idgi

When does Ade usually start participating? It's 12pm here now.

Grit is moving up my list the more he lets the questions posed to him slide.

Oh, OK, that would be me - that Spock's brain was a special part of the masons of Aza and ob. I meant that it was obvious that I was making that assumption.
