multiplats, huh?

I saw other lists with things like Resident Evil 4 and Twilight Princess, I didn't think "multiplats" was off limits.

Do account bans count?

I had an account that was 5 or 6 years old, and had a ton of karma due to the way it used to be earned based on per post back in the late 90s.


If so... ~4000 Karma has been lost by me between two accounts.

After the first elimination, here are my ranks:


Dominic
Lawon
Adam
Cassi
Dick
Dani
Rachel
Brendon
Shelly
Porche
Kalia
Jordan
Jeff
Keith

I've NEVER been a fan of Jeff and Jordan, their season was an absolute joke in my opinion, but Keith was just godawful to watch. Kalia is dull. Everyone above Porche is at least entertaining, and I like the Adam, Cassi, Dominic, Lawon alliance, though I have a pretty big suspicion one of those 4 is going home this week.

Also, though we were clearly meant to work with other teams for maximum effect, we can't escape the fact that even if we worked to our maximum effect, team pairings weren't balanced within themselves, meaning that should teams that properly worked together to get to the end, one of them would still be inferior to the other in a final showdown since there is no balance to remove the stronger team.

--

After reading through the Character Sheets, I can see how the game was "meant" to be played, but you can't feasibly expect players not on the same team to share their sheets with each other yet alone try and figure out who they best work with based on random interactions.

The game setting up two distinct alliances on the 2nd night of the game more or less threw the entire concept of how the game was designed out the window. It might explain some of the waning interest from Ryo over the course of it's flow as well.

You know how many turns we tried to get Absolute Zero to go off before it finally hit someone (and not even the target we wanted to hit)?

Multi-phases really screwed up most of Caster's combat flow. Plus we had to "prep" Absolute Zero, which made it generally difficult to get off.

lol, just noticed this...

34 players? Early Predix, Mafia Win. Think that might be pressing the boundaries of doable, and pretty much any town with experience will be dead while derpers last to lylo.

I have to say, I think reducing the areas to one is probably the only thing that ended Archer's reign. Kinda feel bad for Satou.

also this is the same as my Praetor role from StarCraft. We may have to come up with a standard naming convention for it if it gets used once or twice more.

Unkillable?

I was thinking Self Reviver myself.

Also, Final Fantasy VI is ready to go. I sent the draft to Chris to be checked, but he never got back to me. Flavor is written, but last minute tweaks can be made if he ever decides he wants to send his feedback.

math r gud.

Even if it's not perfectly accurate, it is representative of the damage we dealt, which makes it close enough.

I can confirm that Caster is not contracted with anyone atm.

I offered a "present" to Satou earlier, under the pretenses that it would be caster, but from our night action:
Offensive Main Phase 1:
-Sarah will use Aqua Laser if she is still alive, targeting Archer and her Master.

... too bad you didn't get it.



From my calculations, your D- Magic Resistance really been hurting you. Between about 62ish damage from the Icicle Fall, the attacks from Berserker, Saber's hit's on you, and the 78.2 from last turn. I would guess you aren't in the best shape, despite your wind resistance. And at least 2 CSs down.


You guys got her... too bad for Sarah, she won't see it conclude.

--
http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/3156/couchpotatocat.gif

Saber and Berserker, if you guys are reading this. Sarah was killed in combat at the Ancient Library by Archer. Assassin was in the area as well.

We dealt 78.2 damage to them last turn before Sarah died, and they were locked into combat until at least the 2nd movement phase of this last turn.

Sarah has passed on from her mortal coil...

'tis unfortunate.

Assassin's Familiar entered the area before we moved and bound us, then we got hailed on by Archer. What else is new.

Still waiting on Chris' review of my setup. Slacker.

For now, put the Final Fantasy 6 Mafia down as ready to go. If it gets to top of queue, it'll probably be a Bakuclassix game for more fun anyways ^_^.

It's taught me that if you're going to host a game, it needs to be something you've played the crap out of, something you've beaten forwards and backwards, you can talk for hours about without ever hitting a topic that you're unsure of, that you can probably quote half the script of the entire game. It needs to be something you can confidently say "I know more than you do about this game. Period." to just about anybody.

Somewhat disagree.

A themed game does not have to remain true to the heart of the content it is themed behind. It is mafia after all, and simply playing the game out renders any conception of plot points and characters in said themes moot. Themes are used to draw players in, especially those who are like what you just described, not replay the theme in mafia style.

Theme knowledge is of course important so that you don't blaspheme the universe of the theme, but I would hardly state it to be paramount to making a good (or even balanced game). It's mostly there for hype.


Usually the best way to start with a theme game is to come up with an alignment split right off the bat. How would you divide the factions? After that, start with a core focus mechanic of how you want your game. Is it going to revolve around standard role, or are there other mechanics that need to be considered? Thus far, theme would have very little impact in actually balancing the game. Once you have the rough draft set out, that is when you apply theme knowledge via flavor writing and role dispersal. With imagination, you can literally turn any character into any role, simply by twisting around your own vision of how the character should/could be portrayed.

Using a pretty broad example, let's assume a Star Wars themed Mafia; say you want a Doctor Role.
-Luke could be a Doctor because he protects people with the Force, repelling anyone who comes near his target.
-Han could be a Doctor because he smuggles a player onto the Millennium Falcon for the night.
-Vader could be the Doctor for the same reasons as Luke, only using the Dark side.
-R2-D2 could be the Doctor because he is able to open and close doors, keeping people away from his target.

The list goes on, and is only limited by your imagination. In fact, it helps to have a very fertile imagination so as to combat the plague known as metagame.


If you try going into a game saying, "I want this game because I want this character to do this!" it will make for a bad first step towards balancing in the end. Look at the project as a whole, then fill in the roles with your own imagination afterwards.
