welcome to the b & b [PART 1: N0-N4]

PLEASE DON T KILL ME ON N ZERO AGAIN ? ? ? ? THANK

iM ACTUALLY GLAD THIS PAGETOPPED

Double posting because I think this mechanic is confusing a few people, if my PMs are anything to go by. I also reread the giant tl;dr on page 1 and it's even confusing me, so this is going to be the final say:

The mafia kill is submitted as "Hey, I'm moving/staying to/in room # and I'm also going to be performing the mafia kill."

The mafia member who says that moves to room # and then if there's a single player in there, they kill them.
If there are two players in room #, the kill will fail and the mafia member will be bumped back to their original room (no trap).
If there are no players in room #, mafia lays a trap that can be used to kill in the following night.

I'm still waiting on my cobalancer in terms of a response to T3tsuya's question.

WHERE'S THE BAR

Alright. My esteemed benefactor and the co-owner of this bed and breakfast has responded to me.

You may claim rooms that you were in on previous nights. The claiming future rooms stands, though.

And the punishment sucks.

So, it's not a puppy.

Damn...

Yep. Yep. I agree, and will try not to do the same.

Heads up that I'll be going to bed now! :> Reminder that if you want to move or stay, please PM me with your room actions if you haven't already, or else I will assume you don't want to move!

Additionally, if you haven't sent me in a room name yet, please let me know of one asap! :> Don't want any non-fun rooms now, do we...

Sleep tight! /snores in my room

/adjusts glasses

It is best to go to bed early. Hopefully everyone will abide by their curfew.

It actually sucks.

I hope people aren't thinking that I'm just making up a punishment. Because there is one, it's game-related, and it sucks for whatever alignment gets the punishment.

Anyways, I'm just letting people know that I'm pre-writing rollover right now; there are no hints or anything in it so feel free to switch your actions up right before the grace period at 11:30AM.

I might be late putting up rollover because I also have to send out a ton of PM messages on top of it, so bear with me.

This is probably the last time I'll mention this, but I want to make this clear.

A few of you are really smart so I think everyone's figured this out, but it is extremely broken for players to be able to pre-plan movements in-thread for future nights. It boils the game down to "Alright, you go to room #999, and you go to room #344, and you go to #999! Yeah!"

I understand that this is really frustrating. It's valid in most games to plan out actions in-thread, if the game is close to completion and you're near checkmate, and there's always the chance that someone could be lying all over the place or the mafia outplays the town. But the issue is that the room mechanic throws a wrench into all of this.

As a host, I really do not want this game to melt down into a game of people just coordinating room numbers night after night after night and being reliant on the doubling mechanic to tank through the game, without any thought on player analysis or discussion. I don't think this will happen, but I really don't want it to.

It's kind of like in an open game, where everyone begins hard claiming what role they have - I'd rather have players figure out through deduction what roles people think they are instead of people outright going "Hi, I'm the doctor role. Don't lynch me." In this scenario, it ruins the chance that the mafia has of winning because if everyone claims D1, then all the town has to do is lynch all the contested counterclaims and the mafia is found.

The rule is this:

Players cannot claim their room numbers in-thread. This basically involves any case (whether real or fake) of players publicly discussing which rooms they'll move into in the next night phase. There will be repercussions if players flaunt this rule. Speculation of room numbers otherwise is fine.

There will be a punishment, of course, but it actually sucks for the party involved and is the worst punishment. And I'm not like, tiptoeing around it or saying that just to scare people, there is a punishment and it will suck. It's not a modkill - I don't think slipping up warrants that big of a deal, but there is a catch in place if you decide to completely skirt this chain of paragraphs and publicly say which room you're going into.

My only message, really, is that:

If you're not sure if it breaks the rules, ask me. I really don't bite and even though this is like, the most serious post I've made this entire game, please please don't hesitate to ask me anything.

My job as a host is that I want this game to be fun for everyone to play, and I want this game to be fun for both sides. And if I make it fun for everyone involved, then that makes me happy.

In less serious news, a player informed me last night that I dun messed up because I wrote two different things about traps on the first page that completely contradict each other. So.

Final say on traps:

Two town in trapped room: trap is dismantled.
One town, one mafia in trapped room: trap kills town, regardless of whether or not mafia sent in NK.
Two mafia in trapped room: trap doesn't activate, trap is not dismantled. Treated like it was an empty room.
