game was fun, thanks guys! I totally would have killed me based on knight's investigations, but since I knew I wasn't bad, I couldn't very well support tejas's logic.
This round is def nonny vs chic
it is known.
Every fucking game, you're on point. I'm just gonna do what I did last time and just civ lock you for it. Hopefully this time, no one SCREWS you out of a deserved win, amirite?
I think I want to run JTP late. You down to be my caboose on this train?
Do not like that late switch to Tejas tryna to earn cred from me. I think Tejas just fucked up what he was saying.
***JTP*** LETS GOOOOOO
Haven't read anything
***jtp***
You already civ locked jtp
What are you doing
I'm not Gouda/Nonny. I don't CIV LOCK people on day 1 after like 3 posts, unless they are a noob or HOFmoron. JTP is neither of those things.
Fact is I civ locked him last game and he was dirty. KILL JTP RIGHT NAO
oh, that's cute
honestly if smidge has like a quarter of a brain, you all probably win N2?
Sure. It was basically a character cop + bpv. Designed to not be able to distinguish between civ/indy for the most part.
gg though. I can't give enough rep I have to spread and I dont like anyone else.
Lol. Give us the real deets
The watcher sees only the bus driver. I would give the watcher the result:
You saw B target X
If the watcher instead was a cop I would say
You have investigated X and found them to be ________ (whatever x would normally read as)
I would not explain to the watcher or cop why he got a result for X instead of for Y
Who killed me? If Loki had a vig, I'd say him. But of those with kill powers, I vote Timdunk
But wouldn't he know who was mafia, since we didn't have Nic Cage movies as our roles?
whats the issue then?
lol @ gouda
This is how I've always handled bus drivers tampering with investigations. Let's look at an example:
A: Bus driver
B: Cop
C: Inv target
D: Other player
Player A busses player C and player D. What that literally means is that player C and D have switched places (this occurs during the "general visit" portion of my order of operations in the OP). So when player B goes to investigate player C, he's actually investigating player D. So far, everything I've said is standard, and (I think?) how gouda agrees bus driving would work.
Here's where we split:
I would usually then send player B a message (as my template has always been along the lines of "your investigation into ________ returns ____"). In this case, I would send player B a message that says "your investigation into player D returns (player D's alignment)." Gouda is saying that I should be sending player B a message that says "your investigation into player C returns (player D's alignment)." He then brought Rommy into the mafia chat, for some reason, to act as backup, which pissed me off.
I think this is Gouda's understanding of the role would be bastard modding. He says that it's "always" worked that way here, and changing from that status quo is bastard modding. My counterpoint is that: that's a super rare role to begin with, and then only times I've seen it included in games on this board are when I include it, and this is always how I've treated them.
Furthermore, before I included this role in my first game with it, I actually did some research on how to handle this exact situation. I did end up walking back my initial claim to gouda/rommy that this resulted in a "consensus", but here's the thread from mafiascum that I used for reference. Generally, the posters that seemed, well, the smartest seemed to be the ones who were saying that mods directly lying to players would be interference. I found post #30 there to be the most compelling one.
Who killed me? If Loki had a vig, I'd say him. But of those with kill powers, I vote Timdunk
One was a messenger and one was a silencer. Those are not real powers.
And we had smidge which legit is worth a negative person as we saw this game.
I changed the messenger to be a combo RB/bus driver on D1. I don't think y'all can complain about lack of powers.
You had an odd-night ninja, even-night watcher, odd-night tracker, even-night vig, odd-night bus driver, even-night roleblocker, an unlimited framer, and an unlimited silencer. And you had fucking incredible safe claims (Con-Air, National Treasure, Gone in 60 Seconds). Are you really complaining about lack of powers?
