Re: Chess Mafia [CHECKMATE]
It was an epic conjunction of Civ-abilities that deserves some sort of Socky recognition. It's like we were some sort of synchronized graceful superentity whose parts naturally understand how to achieve harmony for the whole.Epignosis wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2020 8:38 pmSuper-flawless victory.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2020 8:37 pmYou stopped Jack from protecting LC, thereby allowing sig to catch NANOOK killing LC.
In retrospect, it seems so obvious to me. An elegant way to merge the chess game and mafia. My absolute favourite mechanic this year, excellent thinking. Is there a Socky for favourite mechanic? Nominate.Epignosis wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2020 9:14 pmThat sounds like a very cool mechanic. I would not have guessed that much. Too bad it never came into pl...yeah no.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2020 8:22 pmAs it happens, nothing was with the whole Chess thing. It ended up entirely irrelevant because the game ended so quickly. How it would have worked under more typical circumstances:
Whenever a White pawn is captured, that player loses his bonus .5 vote (if not already used). If a White power piece is captured, that player's power role is eliminated entirely and rendered vanilla.
Whenever two Black pawns are captured, one of the mafia members loses their bonus .5 vote (if not already used). If a Black power piece is captured, the black faction loses one shot of their power role abilities of a strength that depends upon the strength of the captured piece (Queen > Rook > Knight = Bishop).
With even one more phase, I think we get into that. Y'all started very defensively, but the board was set up for a slaughter soon. A lot of Night 2 abilities would have been cancelled.
But, yanno.

I would like to argue that I had a level of influence on that win, and perhaps deserve to be among the winners.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sun Feb 09, 2020 9:07 pm~ All members of the winning faction will be declared winners, dead or alive.

Re: Chess Mafia [NIGHT 1]
That post was more convincing than the previous one.Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 12:14 pm Of note, Colin was like “why aren’t you voting, Jack” and I was like “Lol I don’t suspect anybody” and then Colin got lynched with 2 votes.
Is that a teammate interaction? No. Colin was hoping I’d vote somewhere and build a counterwagon he could jump onto. He had to say it on the thread because we aren’t teamed. I didn’t vote anyway because I was not motivated to try and save a partner because I’m town.

Re: Chess Mafia [DAY 1]
Well... you could have put your vote on a player that had one vote, tying Colin and giving him a shot.Epignosis wrote: ↑Wed Feb 12, 2020 10:58 pmStop trying to buddy me like your partner blatantly did.Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 12, 2020 10:47 pmThis is not the best but also not the worst.
Show of hands. Does scum Epi start a lone train 1.5 hours from deadline and then dip when his partner has 1 vote?
Number one, I wasn't going to be around (even 1.5 hours I was busy with dinner). I didn't "dip." I have basketball stuff to do.
Number two, there was no numerically viable way I was going to be able to save Colin even if I wanted to. At the time, there were two votes on Colin and only one or zero votes on anyone else. I was never going to get it done on my own. I needed sig.

Re: Chess Mafia [DAY 1]
Sig is the General and he moves the white pieces. Black is half Mafia-team, half AI bot, or something.
And yeah, what's up with Colin trying to overthrow democracy? [VOTE: Colin] aubergine

Re: Chess Mafia [DAY 1]
We elected sig, and it's his duty to make those decisions, not ours. I don't know the answer to your questions, I just think we'll find out before long.Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 12, 2020 12:02 pm Seriously I don’t get what the chess game does. (Don’t read to much into these questions from the perspective of your role card.)
What if we lynch like the mafia bishop. Does it leave the board?
What if the town queen gets taken? Is that player out of the game?
Is this chess bot good? Do we need to help Sig not fuck up?

Re: Chess Mafia [DAY 1]
Nah, I think your analysis was accurate. I'm sure he'll make a good King General. I don't know what happens if we elect a Mafia General, but I think it means we lose the chess game.

Re: Chess Mafia [DAY 1]
It's strange, difficult to understand how you can be "never mind, do whatever" and also restate your game opinions like you still mind.
