I know there's a possibility of Kantrip being Negatownie and just slapping his claim as protown, but the way it was used wasn't in a scum manner and I have to say reagardless of anything this was a good play by Kantrip.

I'm alright with being lynched tommorow if means come to the end.

I just received an anonymous letter telling me to start my post with an "A" if I'm scum. o.O
just checked, so did i, identical letter. i was wondering about that.
So why did you not let Fynal go first if you did this?

You could have read him better if he went first instead of you outing first?

And why does this clear J, all J said in 4 paragraphs is, I'm not the original negatownie and said your a negatownie and didn't immediately vote you.

Lynch J.

If he was negatownie, lynch Kantrip.

I do love this idea though and I like that you're testing it Zen, it just needs tweaks and you should talk to us post-game about what you think you could improve.

hm

even if kanty is scum, still needs to be a scum within RR/J/Soup.

so basically, RR.

unless J did that as scum hoping to prove his innocence even if it meant sacrificing kant o god wifom

Perhaps a rule that states that an alignment change that ends the game counts as a loss for the one who changed alignments?

maybe. it works that way for scum, after all. if the 1 scum gets lynched D1 he loses

last town to die and turn mafia would(could) also lose?

Yeah I would think that would be fair. That way a townie can't get themselves lynched, convert as the third mafia, and get a win without doing ANY playing towards the mafia win-con.

A lynch has been reached!

Red Ruy, Creepy Eyed Girl, Town Follower had been lynched!



Town cringed. Their power had grown weak. While the force of negatownie has reached its peak. The darkness was overwhelming. There was no hope now...




bwawhahahhahah, you're mine now SLAVE!



Red Ruy has been enslaved by the negatownies!


Town watched in horror as their comrade was overtaken by darkness. At least most of them. One man..box...thing stepped forward.





hee hee, nicely done boss. I was getting tired of wearing this mask.
Kantrip, The Blues Clues Mailbox, Negatown Mailman has been revealed and wins the game!

Anyone want some mail?



Just then, another man stepped forward. The one everyone admired..The Hero...could it really be? Captain America removed his mask... but what was beneath was not the Captain at all...

Indeed, you have served your god well, my servant!

Soup, Loki, Negatown Hero has been revealed and wins the game!

Nicely done Soup.

I was thinking about your role after I got converted and thought "wait a minute, this is so pro-negatownie". Basically your role had a defense mechanism to avoid the game ending from one lynch.

This was really fun, thank you for hosting Zen! :)

Shouldn't I win if I become a negatownie and help the numbers?

Oh well if I was wrong.

Point stands on people flipping alignments though on there not really being a goo incentive to not do this.

The incentive is called it's how you play mafia. You play to your win-condition, and attitudes such as "I'll just get a new win-con if I die anyways" are detrimental to this kind of game. I mean, I could have just said "guys I drew negatownie, lynch me please" until I got town again because I would rather be town, but that's not within the spirit of the game at all.

Again.

Point stands on people flipping alignments though on there not really being a good incentive to not do this.
If someone played how I did with these mechanics, they could get lynched, turn into scum and still win.

Look, I didn't do what I did because I wanted to ruin the game to be a jerk, I did it to point out with an example what can happen.

Glad you liked it Kanty :)

@Ryu: What Kantrip said. That's how you play mafia, to your current win condition. There are roles like Psychiatrist which converts a serial killer into a vanilla. It's up to the SK to avoid the psychiatrist because that's what his current win condition is. It's not "to be converted into town". Same goes with roles like yak and cult. It's not the town's job to be converted into the other side because they feel they can win that way. To throw away your win condition is against the spirit of the game and is a loss in my book.

I would have thought this woulda been really easy for town tbh, I dodged like 3 lynches and Kantrip kamikazing Fynal. Fynal was my n0 pick for more likely to flip negatownie, I was so sure that Fynal was negatownie too and I was really surprised that you were, I honestly wasn't sure what I was going to do had Ruy not flipped negatownie and the game went won.

theres nothing STOPPING the sk from doing that ruy. its the fact that its against how mafia is supposed to be played and is a ***** move

tho i mightve done the same thing just cuz this game isnt a "real" mafia game and are good for quick laughs (not that people shouldnt try to win but yeah)

@J: nicely played. thanks for replacing in. sorry i tunneled you, lol. its rather humbling to know how awful my reads were this game... seriously... i was so damn sure, about you and soup too...

@soup: well played sir, well played. not sure if intentional or not, but regardless.

@kanty: wow. you really had me going. that mailbox thing was good. did it suggest using it the way you did?

@RR: :glare: not cool.

@dietz: thanks for being my one correct town read!

@zen: thanks for hosting. was very interesting to play. i dunno if you were trying to troll me with the successful action thing or not but man.

..

@Xonar: i don't think mafia is the game for you.

Is it?

The Serial Killer will still win, he just does it with town. It's not conventional for his SK wincon but he still wins, just with town.

This is exactly why none of my set-ups change people's alignments, too many problems with doing it.

Yeah Fynal somehow beat the odds haha. I thought the game was going to be over after d1 after I randomized Kantip and he got mafia. But Fynal ended up getting town again. Nice job man. I agree that you played really well. Xonar was the only one who had you as scum.
What is to stop the Serial Killer from doing it because he knows he will get a new wincon after the fact and knows he will.
Ruy it's against the rules to play against your win condition. It's as simple as that :c

What incentive is there for someone not to communicate outside the game if they are to not get caught? What incentive is there for not breaking any other rule? It's all about honor & the spirit of the game man.

@soup: i don't know if i should complement your play or not. your play was scummy as heck at times and pointed to so many problems. i just... well tossed it up to you being soup. whatever you did, it worked. nicely done.

@kanty: wow. you really had me going. that mailbox thing was good. did it suggest using it the way you did?

@RR: :glare: not cool.

There was no suggestion, I just kind of had fun with it. Though I did ask about the whole encrypted message thing and Zen said it was okay for this game, but not normally, as I expected.
