So with the introductions done, here is few things:
1. I will not be giving Safe Claims in this game. I have tried my best to design the game so that safe claims for scum are not necessary.
2. In order to make sure town won't win by cheap tactics, here are few points about town Lover chats:
- All town chat boards are named "Pair x Lover Chat", with X being the number of said pair. So if you people would have been town, your Chat boards would have been named:
Pair 5 Lover Chat
Pair 7 Lover Chat
Pair 12 Lover Chat
The desciptions of these boards have the names of the players. So for example, Pair 5 description would have been "Blargonaut & Kawl_USC"
- Inside the boards themselves the chat threads are named "player1 x player 2 Boat", so if you had town chats, they would have been
Blargonaut x Kawl_USC Boat
Coppanuva x Flame_AC Boat
Kyanrute x Retroid Boat
I'm giving this information out for you people that town can't cheat to victory by asking others what their boards are called, etc.
The example opening post of those town chats will be included in the game's opening post, together with example Ordinary PM.

I'll take night actions either in Gaf PM or in this thread. However, if you post in the thread, please make it VERY CLEAR that you are doing it here, so I don't get confused.

...Fuck. Yes. REDEMPTION! I was secretly hoping I'd get another shot at Scumteam. Oh man and one of my partners from VI is here too. Perfect.

I got the weirdest boner when I saw this scum team. No pressure or anything.

Also any time I'm in the same game as Cabot I'm scum/neutral. I feel like he should just start policy lynching me at the start tbh <_<

Also should probably take advantage of this week to outline general strategies and figure out what tools we have at our disposal.
Also Burb, since the pair share a role, it means each action can be used once right? Like if Cabot and Splinter were a cop pair, they would only be able to use investigate once per night (not 1 time each). I figure that's the case, but I couldn't find anything that strictly calls it out.
My general strategy: I'm going to go more on my NV playstyle here, jump around a lot and throw pressure votes around to get people to talk. I got called out for not being as active in VI last time (though Sorian isn't here so...). It's also an inverse of how I played in VI, and about half the scumteam from there is Town here, so I have to make sure I don't rely on the same tricks I was using there since they'll be cognizant of it.

Yeah, if a pair has a power, they can only use it once per night.

First time being Mafia in a GAF game, are there any settings I need to change in my profile to make sure no one can see stuff?

First time being Mafia in a GAF game, are there any settings I need to change in my profile to make sure no one can see stuff? Not really, no. We used to recommend that you set yourself to Invisible, by going to Profile > Edit Profile > Privacy and setting Invisible to 'Yes.' That would prevent players from seeing when you are online. However, recent changes to the forum prevent players from seeing if other players are online unless they are staff. (And if they're staff, you can't hide from them anyway.) So you can set yourself to invisible if you want, but it's not really necessary. Also, to answer another question in advance, your post counter won't increase while you are in here. If you notice that it does, PM me immediately. |

Can we kill hyper for that nickname?
Also for the record, no special powers in our boat. We're the plain scum.

Me and Retroid are roleblockers, with the lovely flavor of BDSM. Will need to figure out a fake claim I guess. Otherwise, this is my 1st mafia game, so I plan to be the somewhat eager but oblivious noob until scary people with LOVE start to demand more of me.

Blarg and I got tracking powers up in this tunnel. Which makes sense to pair up with our roleblockers.

Otherwise, this is my 1st mafia game, so I plan to be the somewhat eager but oblivious noob until scary people with LOVE start to demand more of me. Ok cool. So roleblockers AND trackers... nice. Also, as a tip: People like activity and coming up with your own ideas. At least throwing out ideas about who you think are scum (don't be afraid to contradict us, or say you're wary of us) and guessing about mechanics and power use will get you past the first few days hopefully. Especially early on, GAF mafia tends to go against the quiet people who aren't contributing much, so if you can avoid that you'll be good. In D1 especially, people will be flinging votes around and seeing how people react. Play it cool and it'll move off pretty quickly. |

Post by Kawl on Feb 8, 2016 13:32:37 GMT -8
It specifies that we will see if the couple visits someone at night. No mention of twilight. Also, we cannot track and put in the kill for us on the same night. And our powers are 3 shot.

Could always have the twilight override, we all know how fun that is.

Hm, are our roleblocks limited too? If so, then I suppose we're going to run out of those quickly, especially if we use them each night. I assume Coppa or I will be putting the kill in, for safety's sake?

Ok cool. 3-shot restriction? Huh... do blockers have a use limit too? Also the only using 1 thing is probably ok for right now at least. Flame and I can't use another power anyhow, so we'll be able to field kills for you all should you decide to use your powers early. |

I assume Coppa or I will be putting the kill in, for safety's sake? I'd assume so. I also assume that we're likely not submitting the action from you OR me (it would make our powers WAY too weak), but rather we're treated as one unit, and any powers are targeted on duos of people rather than the username. So we would track Pair 1 as a whole. But yeah, I think it's likely we'd be the killing agent at least initially. |

Tracker is 3-shot, Roleblock is infinite-shots.
However, as you guys noted, trackers can't both track and kill during the same night, nor can roleblockers. It's either or (and obviously just one scum faction kill per night from whole scum team).

From the phrasing of our powers, yea powers interact with a pair, not a specific person. So Flame and Coppa will handle our kill submitting at least until we run out of tracks/have a reason to switch it up, imo. |

What type of power roles are y'all expecting from town? Think they'll be limited like ours?
I'm thinking there might be some roles based off of other people dying and then a new pair gains a role. Perhaps there is a friendly third party out there as well.

Perhaps there is a friendly third party out there as well. I expect some level of limits to them. I think there might be at least 1 neutral, I dunno what though. Guessing there's likely a cop boat, doc boat, maybe a vig too. I do wonder if there's a town tracker too though... kinda odd we have one since it's traditionally a town role no?
Also now that we have 6 scum I'm totally finishing that awful Star Wars pic job. If any of you plan to change your avatars let me know.

Oh also taking suggestions for the Anti-Love playlist to combat Cabot's "Love Boat" playlist he made. So far I only have: Love Stinks - J Geils Band. I'll try to make it on spotify for people too. #TeamBuildingExercise |

Yea, I'd say those are decent guesses for what the town will have as power roles. Might end up having a variety of weak investigative roles instead of a pure cop as it seems like some of the overlords here on Gafia seem to be pushing that idea.
Have we started gathering ideas for all of our unnecessary gambits? I'm thinking that the pair mechanic makes this game a little more difficult for us as each "scum" member has twice as many chances to slip up and seem scummy.
