Shakespeare Mafia-- Act I

You are right, I had forgotten that scene.

I didn’t remember it (I had to look it up :wink:)

As events unfolded, I thought of now claiming I have a Town Power - but then someone might protect me (to no avail :fearful:)

To answer a question asked of me: My role was a Major Character but it was not a power role

I know I wrote before you did not need to, but I have had second thoughts: As the alphabetical order gives an advantage to the letters at the beginning of the alphabet in case of a tie you should perhaps reveal you stage name if it is in the first quarter of fifth of the alphabet, ie A to F or so. I cannot think of a case that allows milking that information, but perhaps it becomes clearer if the opportunity arises. It would probably be only a small advantage if at all but we’ll need luck anyway so why not?
As voting is not relevant again until end D2 there is no hurry to reveal your game name, should you decide to do so despite my previous post. I would wait for other opinions.
No, I am not contradicting myself, I just keep overthinking. I am starting to like this game.

No problem. :relieved_face:

And as many of us can tell you, this is the point of no return.

Will the villain chat be made public when the game is over?

I don’t know what my power is, but one thing I know: it is none of the above.

I will try to make it so, and I think I can, but we’ll see.

Good to hear from you!

Um, I thought the definition of a Major character in this game was that they have a Power?

@LH75, unless we find out all dead players can talk, that is your power. I had a ghost role in my Tweeter and the Monkeyman game (that was on Facebook, a year before I met you guys). It’s beneficial for Town to have a cleared player as a consultant, even if you can’t vote.

I kind of like Biotop’s idea of giving you a vote by proxy though. Just not sure how it would work practically.

Also @LH75, I meant to ask you yesterday, do you know AskthePizzaGuy?

@AngeloftheNorth
I have seen his handle around in a few posts but I have not interacted with him that I can recall

Given we players have multi-votes, one way would be for me to vote for myself and also accept LH75’s recommendation as a second vote.

But if you vote as yourself for A and LH75 asks you to vote for A too somebody else who would not have voted for A as himself will have to step in. If you did not intend to vote for A in the first place there is no problem, but if you do the solution is not trivial. You need a suitable substitute.

Voting for yourself, on the other hand, sounds almost like suicide. Suicide and Shakespeare go well together :wink:

Sorry, I don’t see that. If I suspect A and so does LH75, why not have both of us vote for them?

LH75 cannot vote himself, you are voting for him. But you cannot vote twice for A. Thus, if he wants somebody to vote for A, it cannot be you, it will have to be somebody else.

Aha! Thank you - well played.

Neat idea with LH75 and kinda neat to let them have a vote still. I’m cool with it.

Do we need to pre-determine which player will place LH75’s vote?

I’d say do a randomizer or something? Or does it not matter?

Has someone thought of what it would mean if the randomizer picked a Villain? I see two possibilities: The Villain, call him B, is told to vote for C.
First possibility: he knows, being a villain, that C is not scum, so he would say that he planned to vote for C too, please pass the vote to someone alse who did not plan to vote C, call him D (who could also be scum, etc.). So the villain gets an additional vote against C: LH75’s, executed by somebody else, and his own.
The other possibility is that he knows that C is a villain. Then he will vote only once for C as instructed, so as not to raise suspicion.
So if LH75 chooses or randomizes a Villain to execute his will and he chooses a Villain as target the Villain will be voted once. If he chooses Town as target, Town will get two votes. I see an assimetry here that favours Scum.

NETA: Asymmetry is the right spelling.
