Re: Shakespeare Mafia III - Act II is going to need some adjustments
I should be doing chores right now but there is just too much to think and talk about.
I'm glad we lynched scum although I think DethStalker may have taken his post restriction too far.
It seems extremely likely now that we are indeed dealing with two scum factions: DethStalker's guild and some supernatural faction. I can't imagine jimbob getting a supernatural cop power to find a serial killer.
I think jimbob was killed by the supernaturals (just dropped dead after seeing a mysterious figure) while Sabrar was poisoned, I assume by the guild.
It will be interesting to analyze people's responses to DethStalker D1.
Sabrar's one shot doctor seems like a pretty weak power considering there are two scum factions.
Now back to chores.

Re: Shakespeare Mafia III - Act I opens
Who else was off the wagon and still in the game? We have at least 1 scum in [Bard/dimochka/SirG/Sabrar (replacing Znirk)/LaserGuy/GoP/SDK/Madge/freezeblade. Most likely more.mpolo wrote:Votals at Day End:

Actually, Bard can go on the lynch list.
Re: Shakespeare Mafia III - Act II is going to need some adjustments
Betting on second scum-team and also betting on at least 1 player who mentioned this early D1 being scum.

That's a good point. So I think we can safely assume two mafia factions.
I've never played with two mafia factions before. Is it possible that the two factions are different sizes (one with 2 members and one with 3)? And what are the chances we have third parties in addition to the two mafias?
Re: Shakespeare Mafia III - Act II is going to need some adjustments
@BoomFrog: any updated thoughts now that DethStalker turned out to be scum?
Re: Shakespeare Mafia III - Act II is going to need some adjustments
The day opens and I find myself most pleasantly surprised to be alive. I appreciate sincerely my most gracious retainer vouching on my behalf. My apologies for not returning more promptly at the twilight hours of last day: I had some technical difficulties connecting to the forums, and then retired for the night.
It seems that DethStalker was scum. I gather from his role PM that he was of the more mundane variety. I am most amused that one of his traits was misunderstood, and, I must admit, his performance of this part was peerless. I will ponder the deaths of jimbob and Sabrar for a spell, though I do note that both roles had some limitation against the type of foes that they could deal with.
Noted for posterity.
That scenario had certainly crossed my mind, yes. We had talked a fair bit last game about how a scumteam could use a friendly neighbour claim to produce a confirmed townie, and the sort of advantage that could bring, so it had crossed my mind that you might have been attempting some sort of similar play to see if it would actually work. I'm not going to pretend that I understand your reasoning for outing bessie at the start of D1 at this point, but I'll admit I do feel quite better about the situation given that Bard apparently has similar information in his own role. Speaking of whom, I unfortunately have no countervailing information in support of Bard.

Re: Shakespeare Mafia III - Act II is going to need some adjustments
I don't understand why I was killed. I was clearly not an immediate threat to scum, plus on a personal level it is extremely discourteous to deprive me of my favorite game and only source of fun during work. I am truly offended and would like to advise my fellow players to look into themselves and practice their lines anew so that their performance may improve.

I take issue with the implications of this, not because former-me is on the list, but because you seem to be saying the people who were on Dethstalker's train should be excused from lynch (at least for today). I have zero issue believing that Dethstalker's scummate(s) might have decided to bus him early on in the day, especially after they saw how he was acting in thread. Do I think there is the possibility of scum in that lynch-list of yours? Sure. But to prop up the wagoneers as if they were above suspicion for voting for someone who was playing in a way people around here didn't find helpful is a no-go for me.
For the record, I agree with plytho's reasoning that there is a supernatural faction rather than a single supernatural SK. Having a cop who can get a "guilty" result on only a single player seems weird to include in a setup like this.
Ninjas, of course. SirG, I think it's possible for them to be different sizes, especially depending on what kinds of powers and such they have in play. As for third parties, I think they're still possibilities, but I would seriously doubt there is an SK if there is also a second scum faction (especially given there were only two deaths last night).

Re: Shakespeare Mafia III - Act II is going to need some adjustments
I'm not saying it's impossible DethStalker was bussed. I do think it's very likely at least one of his partners was off the wagon. Jimbob, Sabrar, and bessie were all on it confirmed town leaving me, BoomFrog, and plytho as the early voters on his wagon. I REALLY doubt there's more than one buddy in that pool, let alone two.

I'm certainly not an expert but different sized scum faction seems quite reasonable. Maybe some balance experts could weigh in, but I think given the number of players 2-2 scum might be too few and 3-3 too many.
For some reason Gopher's town read on DethStalker keeps bugging me. Particularly the deflection towards bessie when I pushed him on it.
@Gopher: do you now think bessie is scum for being nice to DethStalker?

Re: Shakespeare Mafia III - Act II is going to need some adjustments
On number of scum: I feel that Town should automatically win if they lynch scum every day, even if night is super-unlucky for them. Therefore at most 5 scum should be the case, 3-2 is entirely possible if balanced with powers. No idea about indies.

If it helps any, I would have killed you. My claim for bessie as town went down messier than I expected, so I didn't figure either of us would die. If I had to pick anyone as a NK target, it was you.

I mostly agree with this. The Guild clearly has more than one member, and the supernatural mafia must as well for that role to make any sense. However, if some of the town have supernatural abilities as well to throw that investigator off, a kind of weird godfather-esque SK could work. If there are two mafia, it's got to be 2-3 (with 3 being the Guild, judging by DethStalker's relatively weak power), which makes balance weird anyway.
So DethStalker was scum after all. That's good news, but I think YOLO's on the wrong track to look off his wagon exclusively. YOLO and BoomFrog voted him early on, but though YOLO at least thought DethStalker was scum, BoomFrog only mentioned him to say his vote was to get more content. BoomFrog later unvoted, trying to get something new going on Laser then me before getting back onto the DethStalker wagon. plytho then Sabrar then jimbob followed after that. Basically, YOLO and plytho were the only ones on that wagon who actually thought DethStalker was scum. No one actually pushed to get him lynched. It's not great.
I'm just going to start with this again until either BoomFrog fights me or Sabrar tells me why I'm wrong.

Vote BoomFrog

Could be true, but killing her confirms me (or at least that I'm telling the truth). No one considered you scum, and plenty considered you town. You're so active in this game too which makes you a prime target.

Re: Shakespeare Mafia III - Act I opens
Hey guys, I work weekends, so I'll be a bit slow on the posting. I'll try to stay up to date as much as possible.
Glad we nailed scum on our first go-around! Unfortunate though that the scum team had someone so inexperienced and...yeah. Welp.
The reason why I haven't jumped on SDK is because we are in a somewhat comparable situation to a degree, maybe. I'm not really sure what the exact details are surrounding his role pm.
The difference is that, contextually, Laserguy was being pushed by multiple routes. Bessie, on the other hand, had just come right out the gate with everyone else when SDK claimed.
That being said, I suspect I know why SDK claimed, but if it's what I think it is, it was not necessary at the time, but I don't know for sure. He could have claimed for an entirely different reason than I think.

Umm... I don't understand the question? I don't know where I deflected towards bessie. Oh, talking about I'd be doing what bessie did? Not neccessarily. It's what I would do. Bessie seems a nice enough person to do it regardless of her alignment. Plus, she wasn't the only one trying to coach them. Bessie was mentioned simply because she was the most recent.

SDK I could see fabricating that, or at lest twisting the truth enough. But that doesn't necessarily make them scum. I don't know about Bard.
Even assuming one scum team, your logic was pretty bad. There must be one scum amongst 9 players? Um, duh! I honestly don't think we'll get much from analysing who was on and off the wagon, due to the way dethstalker was acting.
SirGabriel wrote:plytho wrote: It seems extremely likely now that we are indeed dealing with two scum factions: DethStalker's guild and some supernatural faction. I can't imagine jimbob getting a supernatural cop power to find a serial killer.

It could be they are different sizes. Third parties would depend on the relative power for the factions, but with 2 scum factions, I would presume that they would be nominally town-aligned neutrals. The scum power revealed was a relatively weak one; Not as powerful as a ninja, but still allows a kill to go through.
We are also assuming that supernatural means scum. It may be possible that an indy or town may be supernatural. I doubt it (as that would essentially make one a miller), but its worth considering.

Re: Shakespeare Mafia III - Act II is going to need some adjustments
I think supernatural is definitely scum-adjacent.
Also, I suspect I may have been role blocked which is a bit of a shame.
I submitted my night action as a reply to a mod prod PM rather than its own PM so I'm wondering if mpolo missed it. I've PMed him to ask for confirmation that the action was received and processed.

Re: Shakespeare Mafia III - Act II is going to need some adjustments
I have no results to claim.
Unvote
I agree with those who speculate two anti-town teams, perhaps of 2-2 or 2-3. The town powers that have been revealed do not seem to me all that powerful. Sabrar had a one-shot doctor ineffective against one type of attack, and jimbob had a one-shot cop for only one type of scum, but he also had a vote manipulation power that may have been quite useful. So the weakish town powers might fit with two small teams, as opposed to two teams of three, where I might expect stronger town powers. DethStalker did have an unlimited strongman kill though. The one shot powers make me think that we have duplicates of these powers, or perhaps a JoAT or inventor, because one-shot-with-limitations doctor and cop don’t seem to be enough.
SDK, I need to think about you a while, so I’m not commenting on you yet. Except for this.
More later, I just got home. And I will be available this weekend.
Methinks you recognize as well that Gopher of Pern is an abominable actor, one who does not deserve the lead role, which by all rights should have gone to me. But alas, though not the star, I have been granted the greater role, for Edmund is among the most vile of the Bard’s villains, and the challenge of so complex a role is more fitting an actor of my great ability.LaserGuy wrote:mpolo wrote:Votals:

You are most welcome! I have not had the pleasure of acting with you before. I know it is a bit of trouble, but do you think you could trouble us with a brief recapitulation of your thoughts on the first act before we start the second in earnest? It is difficult to fit a new member into the cast without knowing how they interpret our prior direction.

I doubt it. Let's try it though.
I'm guessing from your earlier post today you don't have any night results to share. What do you think about how the lynch turned out? Or the players that flipped? Any updated reads to share?

I'm not sure what to make of this and the preceding discussion by YOLOSWAG. He was the first person to propose two scumteams as an option, and several people immediately before and after his discussion about which wagons to look at likewise mention this possibility, so it is hard to believe that this shouldn't have been a consideration.

Re: Shakespeare Mafia III - Act II is going to need some adjustments
Ok, I haveth arrived from work over yonder! Mreow! :3
So right now, I think Gopher is definitely the most suspicious; from what I can remember, he tried to alleviate pressure off of Dethstalker (calling him noob town) when I don't think that read was very justified. Of course, Dethstalker flipped scum, so the quick and easy explanation was that Gopher was trying to potentially save his partner.
It's either that, or he was misguided, so I will have to do another quick reread to see where he lies on the spectrum. I can't help but feel he is contributing fluff with his most recent posts though (he addresses a topic he finds interesting, but it's kind of null since the focus doesn't seem to be scum hunting). I'm leaning scum still, but I'll remain open-minded.
@Gopher, what's your general feel regarding the roster at this point? Who are the villainous scoundrels of our play, and whom are the saviors of grace? (I'm pretty much reiterating Bessie's question, so answering either of us would work for me.)
I'll be checking out other avenues well to see if I can draw a better picture of what's going on.
That sounds fun, now I want smores...

Hrrmmm, just curious, but what is your opinion on me turning Town away from Laserguy when his lynch was looking plausible? At the least, his lynch looked plausible to me at that juncture. Do you think it is possible that I am Dethstalker's partner? Or do you think it's possible that I am of the supernatural variant?

@YOLOSWAG: you spent an awful lot of time on D1 talking about how DethStalker should be the lynch. What else did you do to help Town? Please explain in simple terms.

EBWOP: I'm asking how likely you think I am to be scum considering this, or if perhaps you still think I am up to no good regardless?
I won't say that me turning people away from Laserguy is 100% confirmation of me not being scum, but it does make me curious as to where your suspicions are substantiated.

More later, I just got home. And I will be available this weekend.
The reason I wanted dethstalker replaced is because I feel like it's not fair to mpolo and the rest of the players if a role is in the possession of someone who isn't even trying, you know? And that if someone doesn't seem to be trying, then it's not really something to lynch them over (OK, in this case it worked out, admittedly), it's where replacement would be more appropriate - again, if they grew on trees, which we know they don't.
Admittedly it might be a huge faux-pas for a mod to replace someone against their will, and in this case there's a risk that in the hypothetical situation where dethstalker gets replaced, he could potentially be mad and say "OH YEAH WELL I WAS MAFIA WITH BLANK AND BLANK" and ruin the game for everyone. But I was frustrated that someone seemed to so flagrantly be ignoring our attempts to help them.
Hope that answers the question.

anyway I got a reply back from mpolo: looks like I was roleblocked, or jailed or whatever and my action wasn't merely overlooked. It's OK though, I'm not a one-shot so I can just try again tomorrow.

Clearly I'm happy that dethstalker was scum, and sad that we lost two townies; I agree that we probably started at 2-2 scum, maybe with some sort of limited (e.g. odd/even or 1-2 shot) SK or other, less dangerous indie. No updated town-scum reads yet. I'm not great at interpreting posts so I tend to like looking at claims, results, etc.
GoP defending dethstalker is of course suspicious but I can't help but feel that in light of dethstalker's behaviour and refusal to engage with people, any scumbuddy(s) would raise their hands up in the air and decide that they're an SK. Then again - maybe they were hoping to get to N1 and see if they could shake some sense into him...
I'm writing a supernatural romance novel, it updates the first weekend of every month. You can find it here.

Re: Shakespeare Mafia III - Act II is going to need some adjustments
My reads haven't changed as a result of the lynch. I believe I already said something to that effect. As I said, Dethstalker was distinctly unhelpful, I had them as neutral, if you recall my reads.
And bessie, please lay off with the insults re: my acting. I am but an inexperienced actor, indeed, this is the first time I have played a big part in any production.
Madge, who are you agreeing with re: 2/2 scum? Most people have said 2/3 scum?
