DPS

Verbose explanations of suspicion vs the use of FOS is actually based on the users of said board and the regular players.

In a metagame where most players are meticulous, take the time to read every word, and are able to be concist while being explicative, then I can see a rational annoyance to the FOS.

In a metagame where many players do not post often, skim, lurk, and where players often allow Day 1 deadlines to go by through indifference or a lack of give-a-damn, something punchy and quick is superior so that people can be encouraged to show up and at least skim the thread and provide content, even if minimal.

Your Mileage May Vary. But for my money, I like FOS. It's a quick and easy to use tool.

FOS me for post editting

I ain't takin my clothes off and you ain't gettin me on no damn plane.

Why, yes, Murdoch, I would love me some tasty cookies and milk.

DAMN IT HOW'D I GET ON THIS PLANE

Please tell me 'The Roon' mafia is actually 'The Room' mafia.

I WILL JOIN THE HOMESTARMY

I know I do not.

Town.

Tho, let's face it, I also love being scum. I just love being town just a liiiiiiiitle bit more.

Realised that I think one of the best thing about small games is that they usually only have one scum group. When I'm scum I hate the idea that I can't scheme up a way to look really townie because I might be offed by other scum.

Yeah but if there's other scum, you can hunt them and that makes you blend easier.

In LBSC, DPS has 86 posts and the next highest poster has 45! Holy mother of fuck! Can we keep him?!

Shit. I need to take a vacation!

Good excuse to post my role from that game.

Power- On two nightkill and two lynch occasions, can steal the ability of either his killer (in night kill) in order to save himself OR can switch places with the first person who voted for him in lynches to save himself.

Goal: To be alive when all Mafia members are dead.

wut

I actually like the name the Mafiadrome.

Really tho, the nerd in me wants it to be The Black Box

I find it interesting that Pizza seems to nearly always believe me, when most of the other players in a game want me dead.

I wont talk about the most recent example(game ongoing) but back in draft picks mafia, I was the town roleblocker and had stopped a kill but then got lynched under suspicion of being the scum roleblocker.

Pizza was the only townie that believed me.

I suppose it depends on the scenario, but I could see a lot of suspicion on someone who claims roleblocker. It depends on the amount of suspicion they have, and if they can put forth a breadtrail of roleblocks.

It's a hard role to claim as a defense unless you have some powerful variant that protects the target from all abilities as it prevents them from using any abilities... but me and Rider don't talk about that game.

The Legitimate Hyberboloid's Buckminsterfullerene.

I did this too. It seems to get harder and harder to play that role, though. I dunno whether it's because your arguments become predictable, or because you increasingly just need to avoid suspicion. I got particularly bad at playing scum at one point because I was just desperately trying to avoid getting investigated, so I didn't play my usual townie game of leading discussion.

Yeah, I remember Bill (from the other board, really good town player) was asking me for advice on how to scum better. My advice was simple.

'Scumhunt.'

DPS is going to be a solid player, he just reminds me of when I started and I took over games and annoyed people by being incredibly overbearing. Less is more sometimes.

Aw shucks.

I'm trying for less-is-more. Trust me, this is tame compared to some examples of Drakery in my past. I like to ramble.

I'll play if need be, don't cut roles. I just wanted on reserve so that people who know the source material could get in ahead of me.

Honestly, I don't think you -can- metagame it... it's not a theme that lends itself well to obvious villains like, say, G I Joe.

So, Parliamentary Subcommittee Mafia will be for 17 and/or 20 players to be decided by democratic process in the sign up thread at the time. The set up itself will be subject to player voting, within certain reasonable limits.

It is almost in ready status.

//in. But don't talk about the WAR!

Excuse me sir, but I would like to apply for this product.

You bastards!

Currently working on Parliamentary Subcommittee Mafia.

Or you can just throw "making sense" out the window and align whoever you want however you want.

This can be an excellent counter to mass roleclaim.

The game is over, buckaroo.

And I was not eaten by a grue.

My statement still holds truth value.

I am in if and only if I am about to be eaten by a grue.

Oh shit, Drake's here too!

Drake! This is Stoney!

Oh hi, Stoney!

You did it! You ran Chick Tracts Mafia!

Oh Hi Mark!

Hey, I'm new to these boards... Rider directed me here, and I knew a handful of ruffians, scallywags, caitiffs, and/or hooligans in these parts.

Haven't mafia'd in a fair turn, thought I'd try it again. Name's Drake but people call me Drake.
