I've been under a ton of stress at work lately, and I need to just chill with trying to handle other things competently for a bit.

Re: The 7th Saga [Day 3]

Long story short, I screwed the pooch. This was one of my worst hosting jobs ever, if not the worst, and I accept any blame for the frustrations anyone may experience. But I am calling the game. The mafia team agreed to concede, but I don't think that's fair to them.

Town wins. Congrats go out to 1612, chardonnay, Fatmo, Hally, MacDougall, NANOOK, and tutuu.

Mafia (tedxtr and Long Con) doesn't "lose", at least not in the spreadsheet where that is tracked. I lose. I apologize everyone. This was not my best work.

Notes:

~ Mac's role should have prevented LC's role from stealing Fatmo's ability. It didn't really "matter" in terms of preventing the kill, but it matters in terms of game integrity. It just heaps on some other general goofs of mine.
~ Fatmo's role should have been one-shot. I gave him two explicitly so LC would have a better chance of stealing something, but that was dumb of me.

I do think town played this game well enough to win and want them to be recognized for that. Thanks for playing everyone, and each of you gets a free tomato toss at my face.

Re: The 7th Saga [Night 2]

Answering publicly a private question:

The mafia team is/are obligated to submit a night kill and may not holster. A holstered kill will result in a randomized target among all living players including the mafia team. Please don't interact with this post.

You are a civilian. Twice during the game during any separate night phases, you may use your magic to lower defenses. The player you target will begin the following day phase with one extra half vote placed upon them.

Win the game by eliminating all members of the mafia team.

Please forgive the lack of flavor. I'm having a rather miserable day and need to rest. Night 2 begins and you have 24 hours to get any actions to me.

Re: The 7th Saga [Day 2]

Unfortunately I haven’t had time to properly count posts to determine your post caps. I’d appreciate if folks could check their own ISOs, count their posts made already on Day 2, and then police themselves up to 100 max. Honor system. Thanks y’all.

Re: The 7th Saga [Day 1]



So why is this game so hard?
The original Japanese version called "Elnard" actually wasn't.
When they prepared the U.S. release, they deliberately scaled up the difficulty.
They wanted to prevent game rentals from screwing their profits.
If the game is harder, you can't beat it in a few days.
It worked. At least in terms of difficulty.
It might have prevented the game from becoming more popular overseas though.

Day 1 has ended. chardonnay has been eliminated. They were:

Re: The 7th Saga [Day 1]


Given that I don't expect folks to have much knowledge of this theme if any, I am not going to treat flavor like a retelling of the story.
Instead I will talk about the literal video game and the unique experience that is playing it.
It maps nicely to the game of Mafia, depending upon how you play it, in that it is a frustrating challenge right away.
Day 1? Level 1? Expect to be irritated, and perhaps even find the game nigh unplayable. But forge onward to great reward.
It's hard. It's extremely hard. The characters aren't balanced. Treat them as difficulty settings.
If you're poor Kamil, you might not survive your first encounter with a goddamn bird. Good luck.

It is Day 1. You have 48 hours to eliminate a player by vote.

Re: The 7th Saga [pre-game]

GENERAL RULES/NOTES

~ Role claiming and infodumping are legal.

~ All members of the winning faction will be declared winners, dead or alive.


1. The most important rule is to always remember that we are playing a game together on an Internet forum. Be kind and considerate as you are also being competitive, and be mindful of how your words might be received by others beyond the scope of a Mafia game.

2. Do not engage in behind the scenes chat (BTSC) with other player(s) unless your role gives you the explicit right to do so.

3. You may not edit or delete any posts in the game thread.

4. You may NOT target yourself with night actions unless otherwise stated.

5. You may target the same player on consecutive nights unless otherwise stated.

6. [mention]dunya[/mention] is your Facilitator for this game. She's the best. If you're getting irritated, frustrated, or pissed off, then I encourage you to send her a private message. She'll talk through it with you. She'll keep an eye on the game as play proceeds as well.

7. If you're dead, then please do not post anything remotely on-topic in the game thread. If you want to make an off-hand and off-topic comment, use this dead-read color. Please do not abuse this privilege by posting frequently. You're dead.

8. The same goes for non-players, who should use this non-player-blue color. Keep it off-topic.

9. Votes can be changed at will.

10. Day phases will last approximately 48 hours and night phases will last approximately 24 hours. I will adhere to this as strictly as possible, but if life forces me to make adjustments then I will do so.

11. All roles will be revealed to the degree I deem appropriate when players are either eliminated or killed.

12. I will use this font. You can use it too if you want. Just don't impersonate the host.

The 7th Saga [END, JJJ IS A DOOFUS]

Image

A racket based on my favorite console-exclusive game ever (1993, SNES)

The setup is closed. Expect a low degree of role complexity and no special mechanics beyond non-vanilla roles.
Vanilla roles exist in some capacity.
The game features only two factions: civilians and mafia.
Given the small size, the post cap will be generous: 100 posts per day phase.
Night phases are open.

tutuu - Lux, vanilla civilian - Killed on Night 1
