Warning: I haven't played mafia for 2 years, and even back then only played a few games. I Am Not Good At Mafia. Just doing this because the darned rules don't let me play any more newbie games until I've done a non-newbie one. (Two years ago, I actually played a few marathon games to pass that rule, only to be informed that marathon games don't count and the rules conveniently forgot to mention that...) Cue two-year ragequit from site. But I felt like giving the game a second chance, so here I go!
So yeah, I'll try to stumble my way through this, but don't expect any stellar performance
P.S. Avatar is from The Little Mermaid 2. Which is definitely not an anime.
Yea I'm sort of just testing it out; I do feel like the scum win percentage will be pretty high, but Idk, it really depends. Because of that they wont have daytalk

Lylo isn't that great for town when they don't have previous days and flips to analyze. It will mostly be luck if they manage to lynch scum. Vice versa for scum, who only have to appear town for a short while.
The loss of day talk will hinder the scum, but i don't think it will force them to work completely independently. They should be able to get away with some forms of coaching
The loss of previous days will hurt the town more. No previous days scum hunt info and no true rvs
In theory the math should make it 2/5 chance town win, 3/5 chance scum win, 60% v 40%. But I think in practice I think it will end up being 75% v 25%

Now I test lottery and gambling software. Its funny how my life has turned out. Somewhere a Time Traveler is laughing madly

Actually, scratch that. Scum will win an inordinate proportion of the time, because the scum will never vote on the lynch of each other (a game-losing mistake), so all 3 town must identify each other and agree on a lynch.
I don't see town winning this, other than pure luck.

Yea, but that tips off the town if they won't vote for someone like that.
Actually, this thread really isn't for reviewing games. This should probably stop.

A forum implementation of the card game by Ted Alspach
The game will start with a Night 0, then there will be a single day to see if you can find a werewolf, if any are amongst yourselves. 14 real-life days later, there will be a secret vote, then we'll find out if the Village wins, or if the Werewolves take over the town! See this previous post for more specific details about the mechanics.
Spoiler: Role PMs
Role PMs
There are 10 cards (roles) in this game. All 7 players will receive one, and 3 cards will be in the "center of the table", not assigned to any player.
2 Werewolves
1 Minion
1 Seer
1 Robber
1 Troublemaker
1 Hunter
3 Villagers
Game-specific rules:
Don't be a jerk.
Discussions can get heated and sometimes people swear, and that's okay. That happens! But don't be a jerk. If you want to play a game and be a jerk, there are plenty of others on this site you can join.
I expect to enforce this rule if needed, and I expect I won't need to.
I reserve the ability to use any manner of tools to enforce this, including but not limited to warnings or forced replacements. I don't expect to involuntarily replace you unless you've been clearly warned, or the violation is particularly egregious.
Playing to win does not preclude being considerate to others.
This game will begin in Night, as discussed earlier. The one Day this game has will last 10 real-time days. This Deadline will not be extended except in extraordinary circumstances.
Players will not vote during the day. At any time, players may VOTE: Nightfall to bring about the end of the Day early.
Once 6 of the 7 players vote for this
, it will pass.
At the end of the Day, I will lock the thread. All players will PM me the name of another player to vote. After I have received all votes, the player(s) with the most votes (and more than 1 vote) will be killed, and the game will be over. If no player receives more than 1 vote, no one is killed.
Please do not use or mimic the [ ooc ] tag. If I need to make edits in players' posts, I will use this tag.
Generic rules:
Unless stated otherwise by the moderator or in these rules, the following are controlling:
Role PMs will likely be out tomorrow evening (UK time (GMT+1)) but will try and get everything out in the next few hours
Also, what is Not_Mafia doing? This is some of the worst play I’ve ever seen.
I will SEARCH for games with you and N_M to help you policy him.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I confirm my pre-/in for 469 one-night ultimate werewolf 3
