02-Wild West Peanut Gallery Saloon

[Bolero]

This here saloon is for the spectators, drunks and hangers-on to down a whiskey, play some cards and enjoy the show. The cowboys, saloon girls and cattle rustlers playing the game can come in here for a drink, too, but please, leave your game-playing spurs and guns at the door....

[Loki]

Are we supposed to post in character and use the names which have been supplied for us or is working that out part of the game too? I got "you are <insert name here>", just don't know if everyone else should know as well.

Please let me know kind GM's.

If we're supposed to use our game names and characters then can everyone introduce themselves please?

[Bolero]

As I have (repeatedly repeatedly) advised, revealing your character name at this early stage of the game is a bad idea, as character identification can lead to figuring out roles.

It is USUALLY ONLY ADVANTAGEOUS TO SCUM to have a mass role/character claiming so early in the game.

[Bolero]

There are two main reasons character claiming is advantageous to scum:

1. They can use flavour to determine roles (eg detective, doc)
2. If town players lie about their character to prevent #1 happening, they will not be trusted later in the game. Scum are the only ones who have a reason to lie, and if they force town players to lie about who they are ("Oh, I was lying - I'm really the doctor!"), it draws suspicion away from scum and onto town specials.

My advice: DO NOT REVEAL YOUR CHARACTER.

But it's your game - do whatever you want. :D

[Loki]

Thanks. Wish I'd known before.

[Bolero]

Thanks. Wish I'd known before.
Not to be pedantic or anything (although gods are generally known for it...), but:

From the signup thread
I should also mention that because this is a flavoured game, players will receive in their role PM:

Their character and their role.

E.g.

You are Dan "The Cowboy" McGee, a small time ranch owner, and you are vanilla town.

or

You are Jenny Pistolshot, the daughter of the Saloon owner, and you are the town vigilante.

(Not necessarily actual charatcers or roles in this game)

It will be unwise to reveal either your character or your role, as either could lead to you getting killed. The last game, we just had roles, not characters. In a heavily flavoured game, characters can give away a lot of information about what might be any special powers you have or whether or not you're a scumbag, so try to keep this info to yourself... at least at the start.

When we get more into it, role and character become kind of interchangeable terms, but just for now, be aware that who you are and what you can do are really only for you to know until you figure out who to trust.


From the Day 1 OP:

Remember: Be very very careful who you reveal your character/role to...trust no-one!


You done been told..... ;)

[Xeno]

In this game, names are safe. If you are worried about it, choose a name which is unrelated to any potential role, and stick with it privately and publicly until you are dead.

[Praxis]

Some of us have compassion, Mr Sheriff. You have been cut down and are currently festering away in your winding sheet but not buried yet. I have mentioned the callous nature of the townsfolk who are too busy electing your replacement to even bury you first.

I'd buy you a drink but I'm not entirely sure what zombies drink.

And if anyone knows how to make them there fancy fonts on an iPhone, could you let me know. :)

I say should, as I tested these from Tapatalk on an iPhone, on the Test Posting Area of the Tapatalk Support Forums, and while the posts appeared as expected when viewed via a web browser, the results weren't as expected when viewed using the iPhone/iPad Tapatalk clients. :confused: [color=] had no effect, and only the innermost of nested attributes had an effect. In the second example above, it only appeared bolded on an iDevice.

Another solution to the phone problem is to open a browser on the phone for this specific thread, and have all normal browser facilities available. I suggest Atomic as a reasonable alternative to Safari if you are using an iPhone.

[two dogs]

Let's see if this works?

Not quite, it's blue and bolded on my iPhone, but it's not italic?

Shit, I've just noticed that the Tapatalk clients ignore the "noparse" tag, so my previous posts make little sense when viewed on an iDevice. :( Fuck it, I give up. :headbang:

That would be Wolty. He always farts. He always tells me it was a 'squeaky mouse' but the smell gives it away.

[Sir Patrick Crocodile]

Aha! That explains the lot. "Chief Sitting Duck" - that's what he was doin. Bloody farters.

But as any good sheriff would know, one needs more evidence before convicting someone, especially with a serious offence such as farting.

[Voltairine]

I had the same issue last week when I got my bikini wax done. I lost the bloody phone altogether.

[Sir Patrick Crocodile]

Annie: I think there's a bit more to Lisbeth than we thought. I have reasonable grounds to believe that, given this, and being reminded of that horrible year, she may have been responsible for the unthinkable act I was currently investigating: farting in the outhouse. :eek:

[wolty]

Not only that croc, it's contributing to global warming.

[Sir Patrick Crocodile]

Yer dadburn right about thet wolty. Figger of whut'd happen eff'n ev'ryone started doin' it in this hyar planet an' thar were no laws aginst it. Th' atmosphar'd become flammable an' so when one be hankerin' t'smoke th' whole fuckin' planet blows up an' then ev'ry sin'le species will ind up like th' dinosaurs.

You're damn right about that wolty. Think of what'd happen if everyone started doing it in this planet and there were no laws against it. The atmosphere would become flammable and so when one wants to smoke the whole fucking planet blows up and then every single species will end up like the dinosaurs. Over 9000 years later the new six legged species of historians comes in and laughs at how everybody got extinct in the excrementian period. It's a serious crime.

Thanks for the translation, I needed it. :D

[Annie]

she may have been responsible for the unthinkable act I was currently investigating: farting in the outhouse. :eek:

I'm sure she's engaged in such the dreadful practice at leaat on one occasion but getting her to admit it may be hard. We may have to call forensics in.




Tapa wotsit.

[wolty]

Heh, you spelt excrementation wrong. :p



Actually you didn't. I see that now, the excremention period. It obviously follows on from the excrementation theory.

[Sir Patrick Crocodile]

wolty: excrementian - rhymes with cambrian
Annie: We analyzed the atmosphere and found it contained small traces of material which were confirmed to be portions of vegetation from behind the very musical church on the hill. However it could have been a rhinoceros which was playing around with an industrial air compressor. We have yet to determine whether the gas was from a human or a rhinoceros which swallowed compressed air.

[davo]

Oh well, my first go at Mafia. :o

Well I would say the same for me, the first one I was rightly deaded from the outset :( lol

gonna take me a bit to stop twitching tho.

[wolty]

Mafia is better than television. :D

I have had two games. In the first one, I was targeted first night, saved myself and died on the second night.

In the second game I was killed on the first night.

You are all bastards. :p

[wolty]

@Wolt: Wouldn't "bible mafia" be a prick of a game? The hero gets deaded half-way through.

Heh. The stress levels may be lower though.

It's interesting watching and being a little involved. I can see how the stress levels rise during the game.

[Voltairine]

Stress levels certainly rose last night! Trying to get the two townies I knew 100% to be townies on board! :headbang::headbang: One listened but ignored advice. The other just ignored. PM'ing so much I didn't have time to post on the darn thread. Even stayed in the office late just so I could keep trying to persuade them. *sigh*

try being the vigilante, sigh :) life and death hangs in the balance.

On odds tho it was better I tried killing someone, rather than not.

:o we live and learn. Well i did Sb not so much :p

[Voltairine]

Good game, though. More work but more interesting if you have role, even an eensie-weensie role like mine.

I want to know who had Sieveboy convinced that he should ignore me. I thought it was you Davo.

[Voltairine]

:o we live and learn. Well i did Sb not so much :p

At the end! :p Last night however ... :facepalm::headbang::facepalm:;)

[Praxis]

I'd just like to congratulate Don Cyclist, who did a fecking OUTSTANDING job, on his own, and very nearly pulled it off :thumbsup:

Davo, I've never seen anyone play the way you did. It was actually a bit scary :eek:

Well done everyone. I may even get over myself and play again one day :D

Thanks bolero and Xeno, who did very well on his Mafia L-Plates.

[Loki]

Well played Town! And well played Cyclist, took it down to the wire. :thumbsup:

[Xeno]

Volts: The only thing that could possibly go wrong at the end was if you voted in pique to hang dilby. Then the game would have come down to an immediate coin toss over who got lynched and a second that night to determine whether Cyclist or davo shot first.

Dilby was right. If davo was SK rather than vig you had already lost. You had to assume he was vigilante.

[Sieveboy]

:o we live and learn. Well i did Sb not so much :p

Pfft, I learned the hard way. :)

[Xeno]

Well done Cyclist from me as well. I was wondering when people would start to notice that your posts for the last two days were increasingly inconsequential. ;)

[Sir Patrick Crocodile]

And y'all did it without a sheriff? Hawt-dang.

[Threat]

That was fun... even if I suicided this time. That's karma I guess, I did threaten suicide my first game...

When's the next game? this Friday? Tomorrow?

I'm not hooked. :mad:

:o

Damn Lily gettin' herself deaded by Davo the Lone Ranger...

[Loki]

It would have been interesting to see how a lover affected the dynamics if I hadn't been randomed Threat. As far as I could see it was an advantage for me as I could meet my win condition (scum parity with town) without you dying but you could not (all scum dead). Taking me out was a win for town but not as big a win as taking out another scum. Would have been interesting once a few less players were involved.

I'm assuming I was a random Davo? If not I'd really like to hear your reasoning. Same with gruber really.

[Voltairine]

Xeno, obviously I wasn't going to vote for Dilby. Although on the surface it might have looking like I didn't know what my role was, beneath the surface I was paddled like crazy. Couldn't for the life of me get Dilby and SB on side. Even left a "final" PM last night to the pair of them to get their shit together if I didn't make it. :o

As for Davo being the vigilante. At first I thought I was, but stuff happened behind the scenes that made me doubt him. He knew he was doing some killing, but not as the vigilant - as a highly devious Don. Sorry for thinking too well of you Davo. ;)

Nicely played Cyclist. Had you as a killer. But a quiet SK.

[Threat]

@Loki: Could I have tried to protect you as the last scum? Would just the Lovers left mean they won? Or would that be one team or the other winning?

I was thinking that you were probably scum Loki, only going on you voting with Praxis, Cyclist and me (and I knew I was town)... I thought we may be able to off eveyone else and win as Lovers... but it would be a challenge, but then I thought we'd have more time, you were offed that night! :facepalm:

[Threat]

The win conditions for star-crossed lovers still confuses me a bit... :o

[Loki]

I was actually voting with you as I'd twigged to your role, an apparent bandwagon with Praxis and Cylist only became obvious to me later, by which stage I could only hope others didn't make something of it. Having to redo that vote after the great vote list fiasco just made it look even more of a bandwagon. Still, getting the sheriff lynched on the first day was too good to be true and a risk worth taking.

Explanation of star crosses lovers win conditions by a GM over at table 5 please, and a couple of schooners thanks. :thumbsup:

[cyclist]

First up, thanks to Bol and Xeno for a well run game.

Early on Sunday, when I found myself all alone of the scum, I set a target of keeping the game running till Tuesday morning. Really glad that I made it.

Thanks to davo for his non-stop paranoia, it helped clean out a couple of townies on Sunday and Monday night. I didn't target you as you were keeping the pot stirring, it was useful to me to keep you alive. I knew that I would be hardpressed to win, I just wanted to go as long as I could.

As scum, we stuffed up early. I know where we went wrong, but I'm going to keep my cards close to my chest for the next time I get a go at being scum.

Thanks to everyone who felt that I did a good job. I must admit that I only got into the swing of it on Sunday, and I think that was due to desperation more than anything else.

Additional:

I'd be curious on scum from the first game, but I found playing scum to be quite hard. As Protium said to Praxis on Day 2, she knew too much. You have to play dumb in the public forum, and to a degree sow discontent. My kills may have seemed random, but it was as much about targeting someone to cast the suspicion on someone else. Hence my target of LP last night.

I was actually quite proud that LBA was lynched last night. I put the initial vote in there, and a couple of possibles and maybes, and davo with his confirmation bias then just went nuts.

The hardest thing which I found, was trying to fabricate evidence. You have to convince others that someone who you know is innocent, is guilty. All the while trying to stay above board yourself.

[Durro]

Mafia at AFA, at last ! Ms Praxis gave me a heads up.

I've run about a dozen or so games at Ratskep and RDF, and have some already pre-prepared games with different themes and playing styles, and I'd be happy to run some here.

:D

Durro

[Loki]

Fuck off, no-one likes you.

[Loki]

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Was hoping you'd turn up with an offer like that. I'm in.

Mafia's a disease, but once it starts there's no stopping it.

[Xeno]

@Loki re lovers
It is a double win, like a team prize and an individual prize. If you, Loki, were the last scum killed then you and Threat win the Pairs Loving prize while Threat wins the Team prize. Correspondingly if Town lost but you keep Threat alive to that point then again you both win the Pairs but scum win the Teams.

An interesting wrinkle where the lovers are star crossed would be to give the town lover a role, perhaps SK, finishes with a murder-suicide.

I promise not to do that next game. :)

I am hearing a few calls for another simple game, without roles. I am happy to run one of that nature alone. I confess though that doing the names and character roles, rather than game/special roles, is part of the fun on the GM side. Bol did half of the names and I did the other half. We missed out on disclosing aliases Mordecai Fitzmangle and Albert Bierstein (who was not Wolty).

Offering a vanilla game, I intend few special roles and a focus on strategy.

[Xeno]

@Durro, you posted while I was writing. If you want to run a simple game then I too would like to learn from the playing side.

[Praxis]

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Yes. Yes it is.

Oh hurro Durro! Yes, it only took, what? two years? Still not sure how bolero managed it but she did and now, the infection's definitely set it, inevitably, although not not with everyone of course, which is good really. Mafia takes up a lot of mental time.

[wolty]

I'm in Durro. :)

And stop fucking killing me you bastards. :rolleyes::p

[cyclist]

I don't mind the mental time. It's the stress!

I started seeing paranoia everywhere, and trying to work out who I could off, how I could target people etc.

It was a fun game, but to a degree I'm kind glad it's over. That picture of the bird being chased by the tigers (Theist in an Atheist forum), after sunday, that's kinda how I felt.

James

[cyclist]

I just read my way through the zombie board, that was hilarious!

Especially the comment about davo and egg on his face after the lynching of LBA.

James

[Voltairine]

Had one problem. At one point, the old PM inbox (incoming/sent) was filling up faster than I could delete them. Also some I wanted to re-read for clues, but no time to decide which ones. Am I just crap at managing my Inbox or did others have a problem? :o

[Loki]

I have 148 messages in my inbox due to the dinner. Managing incoming messages can be tricky at times. It's all part of the fun I imagine.

[Praxis]

No Volts, I had to clean my inbox out a few times in both games :)

[Bolero]

@Wolt: Wouldn't "bible mafia" be a prick of a game? The hero gets deaded half-way through.

Satan?

The win conditions for star-crossed lovers still confuses me a bit... :o

Your win condition is the same - you win with your team. Your incentive for keeping your lover alive is that if you don't, you also die.

Durro

Yes please!! (Ninjas! Ninjaaaaaaas!!!....my first ever game at RS, and I loved it so much!!!)

[Praxis]

LOL @ Bol! funny how we have an abiding affection for our first-ever games!

Mine's Chicago Gangster back at RDF :)

Durro's going to run a vanilla Casino game (see sticky) so sign up, even though you know what you're doing ;) It's good for others to keep learning and anyone who wants to try their hand at it.

Thanks Xeno.

Infected.

[dilbadoon]

Yes, massive thanks and congrats again Xeno and Bol, brilliantly done. :)

Cyclist, after reading through those whiteboards (which were fucking hilarious, I can't decide what's more fun, playing the game or reading the whiteboards at the end!:P) you have my absolute and total fear and respect. Can't believe how you completely manipulated us all, without even seeming to do anything. Definitely nailed the spirit of the game, bravo!
Leaving davo was a very risky move, I don't think i'd have had the balls, and you can see how it was driving me crazy frantically trying to get everyone off LBA at the last minute! :headbang:
I found I was enjoying being in character at the start, but by the end it was almost my full mental load to try and keep up with everything, let alone stay in character!
Well done Praxis too, you were definitely too hard on yourself. That seed you planted had me seriously tied up on loubert for days, when I should have been looking at other things. Even beyond the grave you were fucking with me! ;)

Now Protes, I believe I read something about you eating your own penis? :D:thumbsup:

[Sir Patrick Crocodile]

Yes please!! (Ninjas! Ninjaaaaaaas!!!....my first ever game at RS, and I loved it so much!!!)
Indeed, Sensei. A ninja must learn to <insert philosophical wise-cracker advice here> before <more philosophical wise-cracker-advice> :D

[Logic please]

My kills may have seemed random, but it was as much about targeting someone to cast the suspicion on someone else. Hence my target of LP last night.
Yer, thanks for that. :p:D

[wolty]

And we noticed. :p:D

[dilbadoon]

It really consumes me.. I become obsessed and my strangely autistic brain will not let me leave it alone. I become abusive, sneaky, conniving, and freak people out in my psychopathic way.

Other than that it's fun :)

Heh, I loved how into it you were in the whiteboard! I seriously couldn't put down my phone at work today trying to get through the whole thing, Frieda was killing it! ;):D

[Logic please]

Hehehe... Praxis called me "lame AND suss" on the scum writeboard. :D

[Praxis]

No! Really? :facepalm:

Hehehe... Praxis called me "lame AND suss" on the scum writeboard. :D
Just thinkin' out loud you understand - couldn't work out which one you were ;) And, er...all in the spirit of the game, my friend :p

BTW, meant to say that your 'thinkin' and plowin' was hilarious to read and the best bit was when you added "chewin' on a straw". Very, very funny. Well done!

The writeboard can be a false sense of security. You forget that it will be opened up for viewing at the end :o (moral of the story: be careful what you write!)

Dilby, one of the tricks is knowing when to say nothing. If you re read day 4, I stirred the initial pot, and then didn't say anything else against LBA, but she ended up getting lynched.

Once a couple of others dogpiled on her, it was pretty much over.

James

[Logic please]

Just thinkin' out loud you understand - couldn't work out which one you were ;) And, er...all in the spirit of the game, my friend :p
Teehee, my sentiments exactly. :p:D:) Lame and suss was as good an initial posture as any, given that I had zero mafia experience. I thought the comment was terrific, TBH. :)

Glad you liked my attempts to get into character. :thumbsup: I hoped that if I could keep people laughing, they'd be less inclined to bump me off. :D

It happens to me by accident. :)

Funny enough recently on some news I read the title of the article about how burnouts were linked to depression and I thought it was bullshit until I actually clicked on the link and read the article and realized that they were talking about a different type of burnouts.
