Let me note the one thing that worries me.This seems to have deliberately written to leave it so that affiliation is not revealed upon death. Hence, worst possible bastard mod game.

No reveal is bastard modding? Since when? Seriously, I've always found reveal games to be babying you all. But, it's the MS Standard (tm), so I guess I'm used to seeing reveal. Further, that sounded to me like there was role reveal in this game.

To me it sounds more like he'll reveal harmless role flavour rather than actual affiliation. Like if scum gets lynched, rather than revealing their identity they get flipped as their safeclaim. Otherwise the whole idea of giving dead people votes is incredibly dangerous, as every mislynch/NK would give the Town a confirmed Townie to work from for a single phase. This setup doesn't make any sense if affiliation is revealed on death.

Isn't it the whole of dead players get one vote only? Not each dead player retains their vote? It's slightly better than having treestumps. I don't see it as "not making sense"

I think you're being paranoid :P.

All the dead players vote to decide where their one vote is going. Pretty cool hey? Their majority is decided by their VOTING majority instead of membership.

The bastard modding this game is really tame. Just take it easy :V

"Not logged in"?

I'm pretty much constantly logged in, not to mention constantly in #shrinemaiden, to which I pay more attention, especially if you highlight me. You could at least have given me a poke there.

Logs showed your last login time as the 14th, and not all of us are in #sm.  If you're not willing to keep on top of signups at the very least without being prodded, I really don't see how you'd expect to run a game.

I'm pretty sure this is about the fifth time you've said that.

Hm, I realize that (though I think it's more of the third or something) but going into the military is a forever kind of thing with only weekend breaks for 2 years; not conducive to playing Mafia (except if there's a hydra thing).  And I shall go on the 12th December if I don't manage to jump far enough next Wednesday (12th Feb if I do, but I don't think so), so chances are that this is probably the real deal.  (Past ones are more of overestimating the time I spend on exams).

@Kennyman:

I don't think it's much of Mafia Fatigue as much as people happening not to have enough time for involvement, as most of the player pool already sort of gave their reasons for not signing up for your game.  And as already mentioned, it was up to you to check the topic regularly, not up to us to inform you when we can get started etc.

Let's say that players A and B are both scummy, but they're both also taking a good chunk of time to attack each other. Without a flip, there's no way Town can possibly hope to be sure that their suspicions of either are slightly correct.

Likewise, you can't exactly analyse scumpairs without confirmed scum, and a lack of confirmed Lylo is outright absurd because it means every single day Town has to worry about walking into a quicklynch.

So yes, I think a no-flip game definitely qualifies as a Bastard Mod.

And the reason I was so skeptical was because he made an effort not to say 'affiliation is revealed upon death' and instead used the very generic and broad 'information'.

In other news, in before a variety of embarrassing and painful post restrictions.

EDIT: Also this makes scum's job of targeting stupid Townies incredibly easy, because even when they get a lynch there are NO RAMIFICATIONS since there's no flip.

The game hasn't even started and you're pissing yourself already. I guess I should crank up the bastardry so that you won't be disappointed.

Rou, just calm the heck down <.<;

Also, I'm thinking about possibly trying and modding a game sometime in the near future. If this game is making you freak out, you don't wanna know what mine would be like <3

So? Why should town have to be sure of their suspicions? No flip is challenging, sure, but it's not bastardly. Just means you have to actually pay attention to who's arguing and how. As for No Ramifications, scum arguing a stupid townie to death can manifest themselves in how they argue. I really see no argument here that makes it bastardly. As for lylo warnings, always assume you are in lylo at the earliest time.

Hm.

I'm thinking I may need to request that I get blacklisted for a while. Right now I'm sort of suspicious that I use Mafia as a platform to BAWWWWWW, so the best option is just to cut off my opportunity to use it.

The powers that be have determined that you run the next game, Rou.  Please?  We want to see you host one.

I'm not sure if university is going to grant me enough free time to properly be able to watch over a game...and I never got around to finalising the setup. I had ideas for roles and such, but after consideration they felt too absurd and unfair to really implement. Plus if I ran a game like that now, I'd get branded a hypocrite for sure. T_T

Notice how everyone is demanding you run a game? Look at the games I run. You probably can't get too much worse than that. RUN A DAMNED GAME. If time is your concern, there are many people that will co mod. Doesn't modding look fun, from the glimpses I gave you :P?

If Rou still refuses to mod the next game, I'll go ahead and take it from over for him.
