Mafia: The Thrill of the Chase [Newbie Friendly!]

Confirming

confirmed; sorry for the delay, was out of town (drove to st. louis to take our kid to his first NHL hockey game)

Confirming! (Sorry I’m late, just back after being away for a weekend)

Oy, this is “the thrill of the chase” - gonna take more than a pint!

(like, 2 pints at least ;))

: buys a second pint for Scathach, Murphy’s, right?

I think there’s just fluiddruid and SilverJan left to confirm.

@ Švejk, a roleblocker is a power role, either Town or scum, who can block another player from performing their Night action, if they have one. Check out the mafia wiki for descriptions of standard roles and lots of other fun stuff.

I was reading over the thread getting ready for some gameplay (I’m excited to get started, can you tell?), and I noticed people talking about color. What’s the deal with that?

Color or flavor is the text the mod uses to set the scene. Sometimes color contains hints to the setup and sometimes it does not.

It’s the narrative or back story used by the mod to create a setting for the game, an identity for the characters, and a more interesting storytelling approach to the events of the game. The mod could have skipped all that stuff about Eduardo and the lovers and simply said “OK, Day’s started”. Sometimes the color is used to give hints or explicit information about the setup or roles. In the end, the objective is the same: hunt and lynch the scum, but the color adds flavor and can make it more engaging.

Confirming, I am here :slight_smile:

Ah, and now I get the reference to the color being purple. And there I was scanning the thread for purple text, and not finding it!

::buys everyone a drink::

::checks wallet, moths arise… sneaks out without barkeep noticing::

So we’re still waiting for one person or something? When are we going to get started? The first Day ends on Thursday, right?

Day 1 has already started but it won’t end until 5 real life days after the last person confirms. Fluiddruid’s online right now so I don’t really know what’s keeping her from confirming.

I’m also unsure why it’s been so quiet so far toDay, possibly it’s a mixture of the weekend start and the lack of weird or unusual mechanisms to encourage discussion, but most people seem content to have simply confirmed their role and haven’t posted anything since.

It has been very quiet today so far, I usually have tons to read in my RL morning. Day1 could last for weeks if** fluiddruid** doesn’t post. It’s been awhile since there has just been a “normal” game with no game mechanics to discuss, which usually confuse me first thing on a morning.

I suppose everyone should make at least one post per day to participate so…
…lets lynch Fluiddruid for failing to confirm in a timely manner.

It is a typical Monday after a holiday. In other words, crazy busy. Never too busy to not hunt scum, though.

So you have plenty of time to not hunt scum?

:wink:

Sorry, holiday madness and a bitchin’ cold to boot. Confirmed.

If you’re busy, aren’t you already not hunting scum?

Priorities, babe.

So with FluidDruid confirmed, it looks like we’re ready to go, and that the day will end on Saturday 3 December at 12:33PM (EST).

Trepa, is that correct?

From what I’ve seen, randomly generated votes tend to get discussion going, so without further ado, to the randomator!!

Vote Silver Jan

Cool.

So Day 1 will end Friday at 10:00 AM Mountain Time, or 5:00 PM GMT.
