Bay 12 Games Forum

Hehe.

Web, to practice and learn their forum mechanics and their styles...

I joined one of their turbo games, happened to be anonymous, so everyone playing expected, I think, pros.  The mod made sure I knew going in basically what I was getting into, I made sure the mod knew I wasn't 'lost', but I was newest of the new for them.

14 minute days, 3 minute nights, 13 players, 3 scum.

The game went to D6 and had 659 posts made during play, including votecounts and other offical stuff.

I was the D3 elim and managed to make 12 posts the entire game, a few in the scum thread too... yeah.  I roled scum joat and finally had a team, not that I had any time to talk to them.... no.  They had plenty of time to talk.

These people are greased eels, those that are not lightning incarnate.

In 96 minutes, these people played an absolute slamming game.  There were even 2 new players subbed in, around posts 110 and 140.

The top two posting players had over 90 posts. each, one had over 100.  They even managed to find time for analysis in that blizzard of info overload, as well as jokes, commentary, discussion of days-ago (MINUTES AGO, and flipping multiple PAGES ago... hundreds of posts earlier ago!) posts by players living and dead.

...

...

*sighs*  Happily, I don't compete with **these** speedfreaks, I think.  But mainly from folks from side forums, like ours.

These people are scary.

They're the ones you're describing, web.  I'm slow sheeple besides them.

Sadly, my mafia team lost.  I did okay, with high suspicion and label of low-hanging fruit (unsaid until in the spec thread) until I tried to analyze stuff and couldn't keep up; even then half the players wanted someone else dead.  Tie vote, another mafia member tried to rescue me last second and was too slow, vote didn't go through, but showed that it tried.  I was random elim choice (loads of stuff automated there).

My maf member that tried to save me (why?  Nooo... use me and let me die, I'm too slooooooow to help my team... but apparently by the end of D3 they felt I was worth keeping since I made it that far) ....

So he was outed for his visible but useless vote, and he died D4.

But 3rd maf was deeply hidden, and made it to the last day, 3 folks, then was the elim.

For anyone wanting to see me as maf on a team in 'to me unplayable conditions'.... I don't think that'll help anyone read me as team maf in any later game, even there... It's here.  https://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/threads/45307-Animal-Crossing-ANON-DoubleJoat13-Turbo/page14  I'm Zucker, we're playing anon and that's the assigned.

Man, I am not in these peoples' leagues.  But at least I have some small idea how to use their forum, and that's one 'gee, clueless' I won't face in the real game.

Hey, guys!

So... the bio stuffs.

Any recommendations or changes?  They suggest make that a community project, hehe.

Here's what I'd say, as is....

Anything you guys would wanna add or change?

NATIONALITY: US
STARTED PLAYING MAFIA (YEAR): 2013
HAVE PLAYED MAFIA ON THE FOLLOWING SITES: Bay 12 Forum, brand new as of this championship to MafiaUniverse.

COMMUNITY INFO:
So, Bay 12 Forums is the home of the Dwarf Fortress game; there we are one of the 'other games'.  But DF players, we're known for the quote 'losing is fun' as well as 'for science' (and stuff's usually on fire, that's how we know there's science involved; very dwarfy!).  Dwarf fortress is known for an insane learning curve, and for simulating societal madness and collapse.  ...So, maybe some of us play mafia to relax and chill and have an easier time than when playing DF.

In our community we have been playing a lot of weird and neat mafia game variants!  Various types of bring your own roles, choose your own spheres, and loads of high power games and games with roles designed to offer wish furfullment to the various players asking for them (least, that's how I read what we're doing, and often how my requested roles have been given back to me for playing, thanks everyone hosting in B12!)

BIO:
Hey, so, I've hardly ever played!  I started in 2013, but played about 6 games and stopped in 2014; back again late 2023 and here it is, now!  I've played like 12-15 games total so far.  I really like forum mafia and tend to play pretty intensely when I do play... not so much competitively as 'I'm all in,' it has a lot of my attention.

Compared to what's 'normal' for my community, and what I've been told, I post way too much.  Maybe that'll help me keep up with the activity of the championship!

My fellow players chose to say this about me:

Okay!  I accept if chosen and think I'll be available in general across most of that timeline.

I will likely need to be talked through whatever I need to do to participate, I've looked at mafiascum forum and their rules and generally unfamiliar-ish forum and style, and thought 'too complex or odd for me to try to figure out even where to start.'

nqt, will you guide as needed?

omg.  I have no idea what to do, where to sign up, and I'm like on my 15th game ever.  I'd surely shame us all, so many of us already tell me to hush.

But thank you.

The square platform is shrinking, it's half way gone.

The heck.

As a being that just needlessly duplicated, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh4mFf3pI10

I empower precious CrystalizedMire to draw that entire... thing that doesn't exist in the same reality as me ("Entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity"), and 'get us out of here', Calgon take us away!

Curiosity (said to kill cats)

The Chosen One would have Reveal.  It would just be Unusable.  Not entirely bastard, just not expected.

The Chosen One would still be able to claim this, as the Chosen One receives the Prophecy.

I would not have publicly revealed that.  I don't see this as necessarily bad.  I think the Chosen One is a bit outside the realms of the other roles, and it's kinda like scum and them have their own mini-battle.  I kinda want more of that battle to happen, but it's a bit harder to get it going.

Well, we found out this game in the least harmful way possible, I think.

CM, thanks for being kind to us; I would have totally taken the merciless prophecy had I been the chosen evil one

But now we can refer to this in future Demonology games, and have some idea to know how bent the rules might be, at least between chosen and evil chosen.
