[game] HeroesThe game will begin shortly... |
|
Dezbend |
Roles have been sent out. They look something like: you are zane taylor, a hero with liquification ability. you may turn to water and avoid a lynch mob once during the game. The word hero will be synonymous with town and likewise villain with mafia. If you have any question about your role feel free to wonder. Just kidding ask me privately. I discourage you from revealing/hinting your character name because 1. it will give away if you are good/bad and potentially your powers 2. I did say this game required no knowledge of the show, so lets not drop oblique hints that fans may not pick up on... play it like a normal game, but with a nice back drop. Day 1 has not officially started, but you may begin talking. No votes count until day starts, but I want everyone to have time to see their role before I start the clock. You may discuss strategy... consider this dawn. Normal rules apply. |

Good evening. It's late (for me) and the Sox are playing so I don't know if I'll be back tonight.
Since I saw this game I've been thinking about another 'Heroes...'. A cookie for anyone who can identify Christine Perfect without google. |

Day 1 |
The villains, after realizing the awesome power Zane Taylor held, conspired to eliminate all the heroes and steal as many of their powers as they could... Day 1 beginsZane Taylor is no more. All that is left of him is a bloody puddle of water in half melted bucket... Good luck heroes. Night will fall when a majority is reached or 10:00 PM (CST or "American" Time) tomorrow night (I do hold the right to extend day). |

OK, nothing to see here. Except that neither Muz nor TheRul have bothered to stop by and bjl giving playing instructions to the bad guys (I know, I'm grasping at straws). So, what do we have with 10 players? I suppose with Dez trying to add some interest a lot could be possible. |

I read the thread last night but didn't have a chance to respond. I'd assume with 10 players we have 3 mafia. |

I want to remind everyone that this is a timed game.
If there is no consensus at the end of the day, the person with the most votes will be lynched. If there is a two-way tie, random.org will flip a coin to determine which will live and which will die. If there is a greater tie a no lynch will occur.
I am not against extending the day on day 1 or on a weekend, but it will be the exception not the rule.
Remember I played a few games with 3 minute day/night cycles recently as well as 1 hour day/night cycles. I know it can be done (but I also know our schedules make it difficult thus the occasional extension). |

It sounds scummy because it's like he knows the number of mafia, probably because he's hosted so many games though. |

I'm afraid that sounds awfully scummy. Vote: muzscman Johnny, care to share with us why you think that sounds scummy? 1. It's more (30%) than his oft-stated (25%) opinion of what should be the number of Mafia. Had he said "2 or 3" Mafia, that would be more in keeping with what someone who doesn't know the actual number of Mafia would say. 2. It's a common Mafia tactic to get the Town to underestimate or overestimate the number of Mafia. Once such a statement is made, it tends to persist throughout the game and nobody remembers how it came about. 3. He's known for making mistakes like this. 4. Guessing the number of Mafia isn't a useful approach for the Town. |

Good synopsis. I've never personally seen his 'oft-stated (25%) opinion' or seen him make a mistake like this. That's some metagaming right there. Which I am neither a fan of, nor not a fan. |

Excuse me but I'm rather tired this morning because I got woken up by my noc at 5am because I am a dumbass and forgot to make a script +x so it failed to run. me=dumb Yes. in a game of 12 I would normally make it 3 mafia. 3 out of 9 does in fact seem a little high. This is what happens when I assume. I make an ass of me. And it may not be a useful approach for the town, but it sure as hell got people talking which is more than I can say for a lot of games lately... |
