Just a quick cautionary post, if I die in the night chances are it was Ani that did it.

Don't do this again, please. No gameplay in the PG

not being able to pm sucks, especially if you don't have a group....see if pm were allowed i wouldn't have started the votign for virphen, since i killed a vanilla and all....sorry virphen...but this game really needs pming

[Animavore]

I knew this was going to happen (well, obviously I suppose since I knew for a fact there was no voting block with virph, sis and I).

Sorry Virph I was going to urge everyone not to vote for anyone on the first day but given the level of paranoia I reckoned they might target me so I kept quiet.

I voted for virphen because he was guilty int he last game on ratskep and he sort of seemed like the type that would always be cast as guilty...sorry again, I feel bad now

[Animavore]

But the roles are given out at random.

Actually how are they random? It's never been disclosed. Do you pull names out of a hat?

[Redial]

it can't be that random....i've always wondered that

[Animavore]

That's how I'd do it. Unless they have a randomization programme?

[Redial]

possible....

No I wasn't. I've never been guilty. Not once.

I do it with random numbers in Excel. Durro has his daughter pick names out of a hat (so to speak, I doubt he actually uses a hat).

Totally random. I'm sure oblivion does it to, doing it any other way would just be bollocks.

I think the no PM rule is good because it forces people to THINK of other ways to achieve their objectives.
In the previous mafia game I played (my first) I felt too many PM's actually fell into the wrong hands. PM's were used as "proof" of something which wasnt true.
It made things harder than if there were no PM's in the first place.
If you can't communicate except in the game thread during alloted daytime segments and you can't divulge embargoed information try some lateral thinking!
Go back to basics.
It cannot be impossible to win. Lots of possible moves.

PS - A few games against the chess software before bed. Don't touch the piece until you're certain its the best move.

I think it's best to leave a discussion on the rights and wrongs of PMs until the end of the game - it's too easy for someone to unwittingly (or wittingly) reveal information, true or false, about their role in this game.

yeah on ratskep weren't you mafia?

[virphen]

yeah on ratskep weren't you mafia?

No, I was an innocent civilian. Just go back and check the thread if you don't believe me, I'll show as such in every list of the game's status.

oh sorry...i got you and vorian mixed up
