Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

When I realized I directed a kill off of Kime, I became especially suspicious of Kime.. and then he started goading good specials into contacting him... hmmmm
Also, Gandalf, one of the main reasons you got vigged is because you claimed to have bus driven Kime on day 1, when I (the bus driver) was in the good network and saying, "uhm no, that was me. Gandalf is a liar."
I wish you weren't such a liar.
Jesus. It's not like I proclaimed the invention of the Detect-o-matic 3000, guaranteed to find Mafia or your money back. I simply explained why I encouraged dunedain to seer Spectrum.
EDIT: Yeah, Figgy, I understand that. At the time I said it, we weren't sure which side Kime was on, we thought the bus driver might be an evil-aligned player, blah blah blah. Lots of stuff went into that lie, it was a mistake, etc.
There is a mafia population of 20% in a particular game.
kime claims to be evil in the thread.
What are the odds that kime is evil?
And for the logic in general: coming to the correct end does not confirm that the reasonings were sound.
The post made you put in a seering and it nailed a mafia, but it is not based on anything that leads to a higher accuracy or Eri-math.

Thanks for the condescension though, it means the world. <3
At that point I had already decided on Spectrum or Spork anyway, with a placeholder on Spectrum. Also Spectrum, in retrospect I think you're playstyle was slightly different than it was in Scarlet Witch. Not actually noticeable, but I was focused enough on trying to find evidence of you being evil in that game it boiled over into this one. Plus you were on the short list of possible mouthpieces at that point.
And GtC was lead to believe he was a little more involved in decision making later in the game than he actually was(result of lying to be.....taban/nu/whatever the fuck you are
Fair enough. You would have been a fool to do any different.
If my playstyle was different between here and Touhou, it's probably because you're dealing with such a small sample size. I'm not going to deny I was going after you in that game to put pressure on other people and see who would be drawn out, so I was expecting a bit of reciprocation. Of course you end up being seer in this game! :lol: Although, if you could point out what you felt was different, I'd appreciate it. I'm always trying to improve.
Setting me up as the mouthpiece always ends hilariously. Seriously, go take a look at the Fire Emblem game. It may or may not end well, but it will always end hilariously. I think I was also somewhat mouthpiece-ish during Suiko after our other ones died and I ended up winning the Transfer vote on the Front Gate. *That* was hilarious with the post restriction.
I'm wondering if I was as obvious in this game as I was in Scarlet Devil.
Although, in the future, you may wish to be more careful as if I hadn't been bluffing, you just painted a big target on yourself.
Does the vote ever go first? I mean, even in the fucking wiki it says the bus driver usually guards by targeting the vote winner. Not only that, but I was not allowed to target myself, which is another bus driver-ish thing to be able to do.
Apparently in 65mil BC I could have, but I guess Dun forgot to tell me in my PM
Especially if it's typical that the vote goes first, then that would almost never work.
You're misunderstanding what he wrote. Everything he wrote had a chance to happen in those eras, but only the bolded made their rolls.
I wasn't, in that post, referring to my skill and strategy, which are doubtful at best. I just enjoy the game. I was simply stating that the game, as constructed, did not lean heavily toward a victory for any particular party, and therefore that any loss, suckage, victory or success could not legitimately be blamed on the mechanics. It all came down to player decisions.
That is all I said, that is all I meant, and perhaps people should not take things so seriously.
Saying "it all came down to player decisions" is a meaningless cop-out. Everything in any game comes down to player decisions. But available information and the payoffs guide those decisions in different ways, especially with hidden mechanics secretly punishing what seems to be the most reasonable action.
I'll not comment on whether I *actually* think the game was balanced or not, though. Not yet, at least.
The remark was primarily in response to people prematurely complaining about supposedly imbalanced and "fucked" mechanics. You may say that my remark, in defense of the game and its host, was ill-timed. I am of the opinion, however, that all the whining taking place was much more ill-timed.
Hold on, they keep tracks of those? D:

Take a look at the history. He put it in there himself. Someone will fix it sooner or later, although for now I only commented on it in its discussion page because it's funny.
Haha, naturally. I'm just concerned that you are taking offense where none was meant. I've done so many things at which you should legitimately be taking offense, no need to add in false ones.
EDIT: This is the worst TotP ever. Of all time.
And this well, scare me into thinking of what people thinks of my person. Am I a good poster? Did my mini-freakout over "WELCOME TO TORAAHFHFSKJD" caused pain?
Did I mention that I hate neutral seers?
I see what you're doing here.
I feel so good. Welcome to Toran Castle.
I've maimed for less than that. 8-)
Who said you couldn't spreadsheet with both knee capped? :whistle:
Wait, you're a woman?
All of you people who believed I had made that up off the top of my head, screw you.
You guys should trust me more.
If it makes you feel any better, we believed you, and role-blocked you for the night because of it.
Which got me killed, since Infidel was now free to target me. :?

Hey.
You wanna hear something funny?
I never even sent in a guard order. I remembered that I wasn't a villager 10 minutes too late.
