NOTW XLIV: The Root of All Evil GAME THREAD

[landlubber]

What about the dragon fight? Could players have died fighting it?

Right. First, I randomly chose a Champion with RNG. Then, I rolled a four-sided die. One meant they got away with the Hoard, two meant that they failed to make off with the Hoard, three and four meant death. The first person I chose rolled a two (can't remember who it was) and then c_h got a one.

What was the point of strength, if it apparently didn't factor into night kills?

It did factor into the nightkills. It's just that Verarde, who had three strength and could kill anyone but Bad Player, performed all the Sheaim kills. Strength was also used to decide ties in the votes.

Then why did you say I could have killed all the people Verarde did, even though my strength wouldn't have let me killed anyone?

Must have been a mistype. Where did I say that?

 

[landlubber]

Oh, I see. Where I said "Anyone could perform the kill," what I meant was that you could have sent the orders, but Verarde always did. Your strength would have actually let you kill most people. In the case of ties, the attacker always won, so there were only a few people you couldn't kill.

Lordnwhas6 being inactive explains why ATPG couldn't find the 3rd doctor! Shows why we need reserves...

 

[Bad Player]

I can see that my role could have been quite powerful if I had converted anyone because someone trusted by other innocents being turned really is very powerful!

Pity it didn't happen for me

I hate when your only chance of success relies on a person who bothered to sign up and didn't bother to do anything else.

Please, I mean I like having a full roster of mafia players, but I prefer having a full roster of mafia players, not a full foster of sacks of potatoes.

 

[Bad Player]

I woulda had him killed as well as you and Seon

Verarde and I's third teammate never posted in the thread or QuickTopic, and he was the strongest of us.

 

[Takhisis]

That sucks man.

 

[landlubber]

Yeah, it really was bad luck for all of you. I ended up WoGing 5 people. I didn't balance the game for 19 people, so things were kind of thrown off there.

 

[Bad Player]

I'm thinking of posting lots in off topic to advertise via my sig...

 

[Zack]

Your signature is misleading. NOTW is not advanced mafia. It's a different experience, although that difference has grown much smaller over the years.

 

[Bad Player]

Hmm ok it's been a while... How would you describe NotW in a way that makes people interested?

 

[Kennigit]

like mafia, but often more thorough design (via roleplay, items, and usually >1 mafia team--wolves, cult, or other).

Why not just advertise both mafia and NOTW, or just say "play NOTW"?

I need something snappier...

Zack I'm biased towards NotW obviously

 

[Zack]

Why?

And fwiw, people who play mafia also look to play NOTW and vice versa.
