Darkover Mafia Game Thread

PM games are the norm at Ratskep, Aden. I can see why they'd mention it.

[Adenosine]

FOS Cookie and def for mentioning the no-PM thing. Only scum and Masons get to PM.

What!? For "mentioning" no-PMs?!

I don't understand how the fact that scum gets to PM means someone who mentions no-PM is scum.

Please explain.... no, seriously!

Okay, I have never seen a game where anyone but scum and masons get to PM. Town can't because we don't know who we are right? So why does it matter to you and def whether there are PMs or not? You both used it as a excuse for minimal participation and unsteady steps.

Hello,

This is a message from your fiendly GM.

Zigmen is young Valdir Alton, and is an Innocent Child.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled mafia game

Wow, okay. I'll have to play a game there to see how it works.

End fos, end derail.

Dl, I had never played a no PM game until I came over here. Let's not turn this into a Ratskep vs. Ratz thing.

The dynamics over there are very different because you can PM people.

Right.

Well, on that note I'm off to bed. It's tomorrow already.

unvote Zigmen

[CookieJon]

Ah, no I see. You think I'm bitching about no-PMs simply to make point that I don't have that luxury.

Could an equally possible explanation be that all of the games I've played on RatSkep have been PM games, and that the difference in style might be something someone in such a position might... well.. mention!?

EDIT: Ah, thanks guys.

That makes zero sense.

I think it's harder to get to know people in no-PM games. I almost never play them. Therefore, I must be scum

You can add me to the RatSkep list too, that's where I've gotten to know a few players here.

Anyway, I'll vote depending on what's going on in a few hours, since nobody has any solid finger pointing going on.

The PM thing is a cultural misunderstanding.

I buy Denny's overnight action. I had one too ... I could choose to be a player's bodyguard. Any harmful night action against that player last night would have affected me instead. I'm glad I didn't go with guarding either UT or Athene.

Why are you glad you didn't guard Athene? She was a clearable town special.

Special? Masons can communicate among themselves, but they aren't specials. Obviously she's clear now she's dead, but you'll have to explain the 'clearable' as a living player part to me, along with why you think masons are town specials.

Did anything happen to you overnight, Linus?

Hmmm...Zigmen's an innocent. Does the IC have some sort of role, or is it just a distraction?

Folks, my bed is calling. See you tomorrow.

It is not a distraction, it gives town a cleared player.

No, I get that. I just wondered if there was more to it that that.

Two masons can clear or semi-clear each other if they know each other's alignment, so it's very good for town to have two players that are unlikely to be mislynched. AFAIK, nothing happened to me overnight.

Oblivion called Zigmen a child LOL almost sig worthy .
