I assume you're joking about modkills.
Post 92 by Indigo Heron is sufficient evidence on its own that I would have lynched him first. 4. g4 leads to
Then we would have to either give up another pawn or allow black the option of exchanging queens and put our king on the third rank.
I remember people being certain that TCS was scum; does anyone know/remember why?

Just because a majority of a group of people decide it's okay doesn't mean it's not murder. - Cobblerfone

Please keep in mind that this moment is for the players (especially the white team.) No spamming. Let the players make their guesses as to who the black team is, without interfering.jmj3000 wrote:It is safe for us non players to post now, right?
Players: you can either PM me your guesses, or post them in thread, if you want. Yes, I was only joking about modkills. If you were white, you have already won the game.
You brought this on yourself, you know.

Interesting game, but with no lynches this barely resembled Mafia at all.
Decent play by both sides. White launched a good attack and it paid off.
No clue who Black was, I just wanted to see how the chess game would play out. I doubt anyone in the game really cared who Black was either TBH.

I'm guessing Sudo and Indigo. Sudo for sudden lurking, and Indigo because I'm sheeping with Hero.
Oi, that game was freakin' epic. I did so many calculations of one particular move (can't remember specifically, but one of the options was Qf6+) only to realize the suggested move was the best move all along. Oh well.
Good game, all.

Sudo was black, but it had nothing to do with my lurking. I stopped caring at a certain point, unfortunately. This game was draining.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

White's advantage isn't really that large, though.

I have a feeling the system will recieve a complete overhaul before we start running Chess Mafia 2.

What do you mean by White having a huge advantage? In a pure chess sense, because they move first? In a game with players below Master level, that advantage is almost nothing. Also, in terms of the chess aspect of this particular chess-mafia game, I think the mafia has a huge advantage. They can devise plans and openly discuss with one another what they are, whereas town doesn't have that luxury, because any planning they do in the thread will be fruitless unless it is unstoppable. So basically, town's only chance is to play solid positional chess, whereas Black can attempt attacks, tactics, etc. I think White was able to win this game, simply because the chess players on the mafia team were not our stronger players (no offense intended).
Honestly, I don't have much of a guess at who is mafia. I started out taking some notes trying to figure it out, but once White gained an advantage in the game, I stopped caring about who was mafia completely and just concentrated on the chess game.
I would guess that Thok and Herodotus aren't mafia simply because they were the ones working with me the most to solidify white's position, but then again, at that point the game was just about lost for Black and they may have been doing that as a final sell that they were town, in case we decided to make it interesting and start lynching.
As for Chess Mafia 2, I have some pretty good ideas for how to make this more of a hybrid game and force the action. I was thinking each piece captured gave that side the right to kill someone. So when white captures a piece they can lynch someone (or pass) and when black captures a piece they can nightkill someone. The number of players would be crucial, because you wouldn't want it to get to a point where Black can sacrifice their queen for a pawn to get the final nightkill. Also, if it is a big enough game, I was thinking pawns=1 kill, minor pieces=2 kills, major pieces=3 kills.

One benefit of the game I describe above is that it shouldn't be boring chess. With each move the sides must not only consider the chess aspects of the variations but the killing that goes along with it. At times it may be beneficial for lynching and at times black may be willing to sacrifice to get a night kill, etc.
Other possibilities:
1. Ignore pawns (for capture=kill purposes)
2. Make checks result in a kill or some other special power (could be in coordination with capture=kill or not).
3. Roles. Obviously, this is always an option but certain roles could prevent the Q for P sacrifice from black
4. Assign each player to a specific piece (minor or major or even random pawn, I guess). When that piece is killed, that player dies in the game. Obviously, checkmate is a win for that side.
