Lidku: Under what circumstances would you shoot someone N1?

Considering that our rifles only have 1 bullet only, I would only save it for someone I absolutely find suspicious; AND only if they're going under the radar of Town and everyone for some reason doesn't suspect them.

So you would only shoot someone nobody else suspected?

@Jim

Difficult
Max - I can't read them.
Lenglon (I think) - I only played one game with them afaik, but their town strategy seems to be extreme and sometimes unreasonable D1 aggression, followed by attempting to control the flow of conversation in later days. It's very easily imitated as scum.
Toonyman - just a very strong and mature player, very difficult to read.

Medium
Web - I usually butt heads with him, but it only ever really spirals out of control if we're opposite alignments. Seldom to my advantage. Sidenote: Web is good. So never Easy.
Jim - He's pretty experienced, but I did read him in two posts last game. I don't think he'll let that happen twice though.
Lidku - something of a natural, but doesn't have the experience some players here have.

Easy
NQT (I think) - only played a few games with them, but there's a kind of natural innocence that let me get an easy townread on them in Demon mafia.
Knightwing - yeah, I think we all know the tells by now.

RP disguises tone. How long are you going to keep this up?

Can I ask what the old BMs people keep referring to were like?


I remember playing something near-mountainous here half a decade ago, which I think must have been a Beginner's mafia, so maybe it's that. I'm actually very comfortable playing a Vanilla Townie and relying on reads, although I understand the newer players at the moment have less confidence in that, so maybe making people do that wouldn't be the kindest thing.

There have been newbie-friendly games in the more recent past like IcyTea's Vanilla Tea Mafia in which every player had a power, but were still very unlike the past few BBYORs. That game had a strong focus on reads, and even when it didn't, the mechanical analysis involved was far less complex and still did not directly out scum. It could not be considered a bastard game, the roles had a certain logic, and newer players weren't forced to consider godfathers, millers, etc. Perhaps it would be possible to create a BYOR resembling that game.

In. Should be less busy now.

Wait, we can use charge while exhausted, right? In that case, I’d rather use Entangle and Drill Charge.

Get Willis to do it.

Have Sessha pull the lever.

 

Ideally, the people to leave alone are Trence and Alice, as they'll fare best when trying to solo encounters cheaply.

Check inventory for something heavy enough. That includes what people have on them.

Ideally we won't involve party members in this.

Please put me in the queue to run a semi-open setup I'm tentatively calling Wormwood Mafia

Also, would anyone be willing to give me some advice on setup balance in PMs or discord? I'm worried about breaking strategies and so on.
