Yeah, your flavor was definitely a bit confusing.  Like, there are definitely two interpretations, judging how we, you know, all everyone but hector believed it...

*cough*

Though I will accept that it was the final round of a long bastard game, and you guys have a tendency to over complicate things :p

Having noted the phrase "your desire to kill" within that flavour though... I'm struggling to see how you came to the conclusion he was a survivor, though I have the benefit of absolute knowledge regarding the round.

Thoughts?
That's a really good review of the rounds. Simple, but it really helps me see it from your point of view. Anyway, my thoughts on the rounds? Well, I'm the one who made them, so I'll be biased, but I gotta say that they did feel more complex interesting as time went on. The early rounds were still good, but in a simple sort of way (might be because there were only 4 players, but the rounds felt simpler mechanic-wise as well).

 Well, that's my thoughts on it, now I have a question of my own:

What are your opinions on the rounds being based off each stanza of "Fingertips?" Was it a cool idea? Was it a cheap gimmick? Does it make the rounds feel that much better, or should I have not tried to conform to anything and instead made my rounds from scratch?

 And while I'm on that topic - yeah, I know my hints weren't that easy to find. My magnificent powers of hindsight reveal to me I fell into the standard trap - armed with all the knowledge of the rounds, the secret seemed more obvious to me than it did to you. It's a bit of a downer that only one person really found out in the end, but I guess that's better than no one.

Oh right.

They were tentative, but enough to work with, particularly seeing as the "answer" to one of the hints was mentioned specifically in the thread someplace.
You're referring to the one where I say something like "it's a song by my favorite band," right? Here's the link:
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=155932.msg6998257;topicseen#msg6998257

 Also, how will we do the quote page? With the length of this thread, there will be a lot of good quotes - should I set up a google docs where we can compile them before we post them in-thread?

Let no one say you're not honest - but you once sent in "keep" before I asked you about it, so that probably messed up your search. I double-checked, you have 11 points.

I just kept alternating Keep and Forfeit, in the early days, I think, exvept when I lost track.

Got some interesting gifts.  One being an increasingly unreliable Neutrality dectector, which helped in perhaps one round total (IIRC, the first time it fired, I was the Neutral.  Two others being the two bonus rounds just for my benefit.  Sorry, they were my fault...  ;)

(I wasn't sure if I was stressing Tomasque's ability to handle my forfeits, so I started Keeping more until the third option wrrived.)

Then I got the chance to see other people's received gifts (boring lot...  :P  ...the first couple of targets hadn't spent anything on such gifts by that point, and seemingly never did afterwards).  Sill, fun to do.  ;)

Rather surprised about that, I went on a forfeit binge during the middle rounds, and snooped on Starver one time.

I got one useful mystery prize, that allowed me to know when there were three of the same archetype in the round, but it only triggered once. I did enjoy trying to figure out where the source was, didn't quite get it in the end, though I at least got to the album it was from :))

It's a testament to how good of a player hector is that he went on a forfeit binge and tied with me... somebody who never forfeited.

GG.

Very GG.

Yeh, sure.

Questions:
1. Could Imitate only be used once per day?
2. Could you post a list of all the forfeit benefits you planned?
3. Who was Daryll Cricket? And how did he die?

Now if you excuse me, I'm nominating this game for the Notable Games Archive.

3. Who was Daryll Cricket? And how did he die?
The hints were mostly from forfeiting victory points, but there were occasional hints in-thread (abilities  named after verses in the song (ex: Fish's ability in the messaging round), and flavor text paralleling some of the lyrics (the Stalker's flavor). The in-thread hints were even more unnoticeable, and really served as tests to see if any of you already knew the song.

1. Imitate? Do you mean the Imitator's fight ability? They should have been able to use it multiple times per day, but I forgot to write that. That round was a clusterfuck anyway, so it doesn't surprise me I didn't catch it. Sorry about that.
2. I would if I could, but I lost all of my original notes. I can make a list of forfeits I gave, and the few extra ones I remember.
3. Darryl Cricket was an NPC - he didn't have any connection to the other characters. He was planned to die the first night, so that there would be a reason to do the court session, and so that anyone who visited him would be suspect. Flavorwise, it's never started whether the Voodoo Master was responsible for his death, and I left out open on purpose. Why? I just never felt like defining it.

Nah, I think it was mostly an experience thing. I don't know if Starver has much experience elsewhere playing Mafia, but I'm reasonably sure he said this was among his first round these parts, and I think this was TBF's first too.

I had played a lot with you and Moonlit so I was more familiar with how you both played, which was beneficial for reading you for the most part.
