Re: [DAY 0] Syndicate Schemes Gaming Co.
I disagree that Ricochets posts are highly questionable.
I have a theory about the poll too.
Obv the other people have a thread and are likely voting options like us though they possibly are not the same options.
I think we are picking options for the other thread while they pick for us.
Thoughts?

Re: [DAY 0] Syndicate Schemes Gaming Co.
I can answer your questions, if you won't twist what I say.
Have you given others the same treatment?
How 'bout bea voting for option 8, in the first place? Wouldn't that option follow the same sinuous trajectory, constantly being bumped from one tie to another, with other options?
You chose options 1, 2 and 3, whilst options 5 and 7 were in the lead. What was that about "choosing options already in the lead, maybe top three or four". You evaded the top two of that top three or four altogether.
How do you know I can't control what "later" means in what I said about making improvements "later"? Maybe I'm well in control with the knowledge of who has yet to check in or not.
Your "act as if the last player to vote" mentality is very weird, because you were obviously not the last player of the Syndicateers to vote statistics-wise and neither was I. You can't fully control how the poll will shape up past your own vote; if you'd take such responsability and everyone else also would, nobody would make the move and we'd get stuck in a dillema forever.
In fact, your mentality sounds exactly like the "I voted, I didn't create any ties, I was my hands and let's watch other poor folks try not to complicate things". You managed not to create ties, I congratulate you, I was honest about not getting a perfect result out of it.
You didn't ask for any explanation, you called it straight up not-very-civvie. And you may find yourself, you don't know me very well.

Also, to be clear, I don't think all of Ricochets posts are highly questionable, but I do think some of the comments he made in his latest post were.
Do you believe it's civ-like to intentionally vote for the only option with zero votes, then tell the thread "I'll leave the problem for you", and then when questioned on it, says "If you don't get it, I can't help you...chillax" ?

Only thing is, if we probably won't collectively get a sense of what the options' effects are (as in some might get info or powers, the rest of the field won't), what would be the point of a design in not getting a sense of what options we would receive from the other party, that we wouldn't even know of?

I said before I'd make improvements when the poll develops further. Gee, I wonder if I just intentionally contradicted myself there or if the problem sentence was all flavour.

Re: [DAY 0] Syndicate Schemes Gaming Co.
MF - when I voted I created a tie but you did not call me out. Why only Ricochet?
Ricochet - why would we need to get a sense of what was voted for? ofc the Hosts will not make the results of a Day 0 poll easy to figure out - that would be poor hosting. I think not knowing the other options the other side is choosing is exactly why the hostssplit us up. when you host your upcoming game you will understand what I am saying here.

I don't get this. There's no reason every player in this game cannot both a) vote for some of their favorite options while b) also ensuring there are no ties. If that means one of the options you like, you decide you can't vote for because of a tie, then so be it, but it's possible. No, I cannot fully control how the poll will shape up, that's why I've been encouraging discussion on making sure the poll stays tie-free.Ricochet wrote:Your "act as if the last player to vote" mentality is very weird, because you were obviously not the last player of the Syndicateers to vote statistics-wise and neither was I.

I hope the threads merge soon. We want FZ!
About Ricochet, it was not a smart decision to vote for the only option with 0 votes (if I have understood), but I am not sure what it means for his alignment. Would a member of the mafia really make a decision that makes ties more likely when the whole thread is trying to avoid those?

This doesn't change what I said. At the time of my voting, I had only one single option to vote and not create ties. That still left two more options that would have created ties, no matter what. Anyone, not just me, wanting to satisfy both a) and b) would have faced this dillema. How would the poll have progressed, in that case?

Re: [DAY 0] Syndicate Schemes Gaming Co.
Hi, K4J. You speak of the "whole thread trying to avoid" ties. Does that mean, that if I pull a list on everyone who create ties when they voted, we have our mafia members on this side of the fence? Doesn't seem to make much logic. Some had it easier, others didn't. I was clear that I didn't get an easy tally to work with. That's all. Don't want to hurt nobody.
Re: [DAY 0] Syndicate Schemes Gaming Co.
Option 1: A player of your choice may ask the host whether a certain player is a certain role. That player will be told yes or no.
If this choice is public, it paints a target on the "winner." If the choice is private, this is good stuff for the spreadsheeters.
Option 2: All female players gain temporary BTSC for one cycle. Info-dumping and role outing is not permitted.
Not only is this pointless, it's misandrist.
Option 3: Every player picks a city. Players will live in that city during the subsequent cycle.
I'd like to know where MP is getting the money to cover the moving expenses.
Option 4: A player of your choice is consumed by insanity, the effects of which are unknown.
This doesn't sound unpleasant or unhelpful at all.
Option 5: Five players of your choice receive a rock. These rocks can be thrown at another player to block them.
These "rocks" (if they even are rocks and not bombs) could stop a kill. Rocks are our friends.
Option 6: A player of your choice can use their night power twice during the subsequent Night.
Double trouble! Not really appealing to me though.
Option 7: A player of your choice can track another player. During the subsequent Day, the player tracked may send a message to the tracker.
Same opinion as option 1 here.
Option 8: A fake account can post and cast a vote the subsequent Day.
I don't see the point of a ghost in the game. Pass.
So I like 1, 5, and 7.

The reason I have not publicly suspected anyone else with their votes (but you can bet your bottom dollar I have in my head) is because no one, and I mean no one, has said "I'll leave the problem to you" after admitting to intentionally pushing a tie. Pushing a tie is one thing, it's almost unavoidable. However, voting for an option with zero votes does not make civvie sense to me. If it does to anyone else, please tell me why.
Yes, and I continue to ask what your motivation for doing so was.Ricochet wrote:Cool beans. The poll didn't benefit from lack of ties when I voted. I literally acknowledged this.
True that. I am not aware of how much time you spend on mafia (myself, an unhealthy amount when in a game), so I didn't know if you'd be leaving after a few posts, not to return until tomorrow.

All I've done is ask your motivation for picking an option with zero votes, while at the same time saying "I'll leave the problem to you."

I was speaking specifically on your decision and what it brought upon you, because had you not voted for option 6, it would be at 0 votes and in no danger of causing a tie. I am saying that - why would you go out on a limb to vote for the already safe (from a tie) option, if you were mafia? Obviously the thread (as a whole) is trying to avoid ties because of what MP said, in the end, even if not with their individual votes - I expect people to work around it, and try to fix it.

I liked the option. It's called preference. The enhancement could land in a civ's hands and work to good effect. I don't have expectations of this option winning, hence getting to be used "so soon", if that will even happen (the Host has made no specification on how will this work, who will "win" what, etc.). If it'll happen later and I'll be made in charge of it, I'll trust my instincts. As I've said, absolute trust keeps me going in the right direction.Matt F wrote:Speaking of which, you said preferential choice. But why?

Re: [DAY 0] Syndicate Schemes Gaming Co.
I'd say my voting for an option with no votes that created a tie with the only other option with 1 vote is only a problem because of that other option having only 1 vote. bea got to voting for an option that, as you say, would otherwise "be at 0 votes" faster and she's in the clear simply because she created no ties. This low-end tie can easily be corrected by any option gaining more votes, thus leaving the other option behind in the last place again, untied. If both options 6 and 8 will in fact never progress past this 1-vote point, then I might reconsider my vote there and modify it to a better result. So I don't get the damage that's allegedly done, except for having created two ties, which I had no way to avoid.kneel4justice wrote:I see what you mean, but I don't think what I am saying is that simple?Ricochet wrote:Hi, K4J.

Re: [DAY 0] Syndicate Schemes Gaming Co.
Checking in now. Sorry it took me so long! I think Options 1 and 7 are both extremely powerful and extremely useful, in that if the right person or people are selected for them, they can be extremely useful to civs. I would even go so far as to suggest that they're the most useful/powerful choices on the list.
And then watch it turn out that MP tallies the votes and randomizes a new order for the choices to appear in. Because he's an evil bast....
You know what? Nevermind. :P
Going to go catch up now though.

I moved my vote from number 8 to number 6 to clear up that little one/one tie.
I was going to say I was hurting my uncaffinated brainz by trying to figure out how to move one of my votes around to help out the option 1/2/3 clustereff that was going on but looks like matt fixed that one so yay!

Re: [DAY 0] Syndicate Schemes Gaming Co.
I just saw MP say he doesn't want ties.
I'm going to leave a vote on #1 for now and hope it makes someone else pick #1. Because I see a potential role-check as far more useful than about one-fourth of the people playing gaining BTSC.

Re: [DAY 0] Syndicate Schemes Gaming Co.
I didn't even think of this for some reason.Epignosis wrote:Option 1: A player of your choice may ask the host whether a certain player is a certain role. That player will be told yes or no.
If this choice is public, it paints a target on the "winner." If the choice is private, this is good stuff for the spreadsheeters.
Option 5: Five players of your choice receive a rock. These rocks can be thrown at another player to block them.
These "rocks" (if they even are rocks and not bombs) could stop a kill. Rocks are our friends.
@Host: Is Option #1 going to be publicly or privately known?

Honestly, I'm not that worried about ties yet. Unless...

Re: [DAY 0] Syndicate Schemes Gaming Co.
If you're worried about ties, right now you just need the four people to vote for Option 1 and Bob's your uncle.

And since being in management, I'm not afraid to ask, even if it makes me look foolish or I might piss someone off. I learn more that way. :P

But I am considering switching my vote for Option 1 to Option 5, but only if I don't feel I can get someone else to hop on Option 1 with me.
I guess I have to weigh the odds of which one is more likely to catch or stop a baddie.
Re: [DAY 0] Syndicate Schemes Gaming Co.
I know most of you are guys and it wouldn't benifit you directly but btsc can be great for civvies and would let us girls gossip about you have some time to get a feel for each other outside the thread. I think it could be valuable

Facts are I'm going to bed (even though my bed's on fire) and the poll is currently tie free. No improvement needed at the moment.

So, gents, what do you think? Let's get this show on the road, shall we?

Re: [DAY 0] Syndicate Schemes Gaming Co.
If the majority is okay with moving forward, I am as well.
Also just so you all know, I will not be that active from tomorrow until the 11th. I am going to be on vacation flying around the country (to San Antonio to visit MP and Spacedaisy, as well as Tallahassee to visit Mongoose!), and I will be a busy bird on vacation. But I will be around from time to time to check in. Just don't expect a ton of multi-quote posts or anything terribly long during that time.

I would really prefer not to continue onward until everyone has checked in, but if necessary we will move on if we have waited sufficiently.

Whatever you want MP. The votes look good to me as they are!

I don't know. I've only recently returned to mafia after a year long hiatus. But 1 game back, 1 win. Going for 2-2 here.
