MMAYAV?- The End - Alt accounts now BANNED!

Yeah I will be here most of the day too. Time to recap the events of yesterday first though.

Just caught up with the antics. Sorry for dropping the doughnuts in the kitchen, chums.

Usually wouldn't condone the "lynch inactives" strategy early on, as the vampires would almost certainly be posting, but if we're going after people that don't even know their role, then that's cool by me.

What I do have a big problem with is the immediate mayor elections and lynch candidate decisions right after the vampire kills. This gives us no time to analyse the vampires' choice(s) and consider the impact of the death of their victim, and why they chose that person, etc. It's gonna be bandwagon jumping and shouting galore.

I can understand the desire to have as many people around as possible for the mayor, so I would suggest having the deadline of the mayor election at say 11 or 11.30, and then give the mayor until 5pm the next day for lynch candidate announcements.

Well Hun', that gives our lovely workers no real time to object if their name is put up and no chance to run for mayor

I think leave it like this or move the mayor election deadline to around 10 to gap it out a bit.

At least test it out like this for a couple of days, though it's clearly going to be quiet the first few days where it's just an inactive crapshoot with nothing to debate.

One doth agree with Seth.

Morning campers! Wasn't around much last night and won't be tonight either, but I'll be sure to keep up.

I think killing off inactives is good for the first few days just to get us going, but do that for too long and eventually we're just depleting our own populace and giving the vampires an advantage.

Maybe our best method should be to kill inactives every few day, that way any vampires intending to lay low will be forced to post fairly regularly to remain active. Or at least more active than if we just decided to just stop killing inactives.

Or we could incorporate inactives into some of the votes with people we suspect, when we start to actually have suspects that is. It might prove useful for rooting out vampires if we look at who votes for who, or if a vote poll is made public (which I think has been done before in these games).

Dahlink, I am vay too fabulous to care vhat such contemptible crleatures zhink, but you - 'ow you say? - "'it ze nail on ze 'ead"? :simper:

I think it's pretty clear that the six coffins found mean that there are at least six vampires.

[iup=3538866]Dana Shire[/iup] wrote:I see the logic - the problem, as in any AYA? game is that it causes the oft-repeated cycle:

a) First mayor elected
b) Most likely Citizen killed due to the sheer odds
c) Mayor and his actions are under scrutiny for rest of game, as are those who supported him, etc etc - causes a lot of wasted time.

Removing the in-active element is basically improving the outcome of a crapshoot. They're deadwood. The two I'm putting up haven't even logged into their accounts, which means they don't even know what role they are. The don't provide any benefit. Sure, the odds are that a citizen gets killed - but that is the most likely outcome anyway. This way we at least remove people who aren't contributing which is good for our chances of winning, but also for the enjoyment of all involved.

Seconded. It also helps to prevent inactives being left near the end when we need all the active players we can get and forces the vamps into being active or risk being targeted early. From then on we can analyse posting styles and mayoral voting patters, the latter of which has been a great resource in past games.

Six vampires in a pool of 66 players seems likely. There's always the chance they have a special role on their side too.

At the start it makes sense to go for inactives as we don't have any suspects yet, if we went random we risk hitting a useful role.
I was suprised by the late call for Mayor last night, as someone else said it gives us more time to examine potential suspects and choose a mayor if the election is held the day after the Vampires attack.

I'd like to know why Obie Marsh uses typos in every post, i made a really bad joke earlier in the thread that maybe he had a Baron of Typos type role, since his every post has followed that pattern. After that he PM'd me with the same posting style claiming he didn't understand the reference, and has not posted in the thread since.
I only bring it up as in a previous game Clarkman had a role that required a specific posting style only he was a Bluehat.

There are two players that are posting in a weird way (Obie Marsh and the other who types in a French/German/Whatever accent). It could just be that they are role playing a character that they themselves have made up, or it could mean that they have some sort of power. Would we risk killing them when they might have a power that is actually useful to us? They stand out straight away so it seems unlikely they are vampires that are trying to stay hidden – although that might also be the plan!

The vamps are not going to be inactive players or they would risk being culled and they are not going to be the most active players as they risk drawing attention to themselves. At this stage though we know nothing!

Yeah, its unlikely they would want to draw attention to themselves if they are Vamps. I only brought it up because of Clarkman in the last game, he was a Bluehat with some sort of win condition that would help the Moderators if i remember correctly.

Oh I agree they definitely seem to have some sort of role here. I can’t remember if Clarkman’s role was as a good guy or a bad guy in the last game though. Even if Clarkman was a bad guy, it doesn’t mean that these two are bad in this game.

This is all too confusing and duplicitous for a sweet natured lady like myself. I am going to soak in a hot tub and have a stiff drink and forget all this horridness for an hour or two.

So tonight when one of our two gets lynched, Ali Curdama (officially) returns to the residence. Possibly resulting in us learning more about our situation, these keys, etc. Plus there will be vamp kills after that (OP & Count both say so).

Not really much to go on until then.
