[Day 1] All Hail Figgy/Myria! Let's strategize!

[inantp]

We vote in the thread like normal.

[figgy]

Judging solely based on what I've seen on other proboards post-game:

We vote with the village in the public board.
We have a separate thread for our orders that night (vig targets, immunities, etc.)

[vert]

unless one of us has a special power saying our vote counts more it is a normal vote. The mafia...it looks like we get 1 +4power atk vig, and god gets a extra +2 atk...Since it looks like each person only has 2hp unless they are special we have at least to kills there.

Akimbo, is what I just said your explanation for our kills each night?

[akimbolegs]

You are correct![/color]

No open tags on proboards, I guess!

[TheRoadVirus]

Also I assume that the transformation thing will just be random tonight since we have no idea what attacks people are using?

FIRE
ICE
THUNDER
HOLY
DARK

We have 4 people that are stuck in their chosen element, and are needed to do the fire vig
Then we have 3 of us that can transform every night.

Guess we need to decide on a vig target, and an elemental shift for the three of us, and then decide how far apart we want to scatter our first vote to avoid suspicion

[figgy]

So, what's the math, here? Will we usually have the same number of specials on the opposing side? I'm going to assume one of the "brood" also has a nightly healing power. We will need to carefully track hits and HP for this game.

For my spreadsheet, unfortunately, some of the formatting and tools I use in Excel don't translate over to Google Docs. I'm going to throw it up there, but it won't be as pretty. Still, post links and whatnot will still work. If you post your google docs associated email, I can grant you access.

[figgy]

Do the transforming mafia members have 2 HP?

[akimbolegs]

Should say 3 in the PM. My mistake.[/color]

[vert]

ok so it looks like we have those two kills each night.

derp apparently this decided to not post faster.

Don't know how often I'll refresh the Google version of that spreadsheet. How useful do you guys think it will be as mafia?

[figgy]

I threw up a placeholder order post for Day 1. Edit accordingly.

[shalmelo]

Yeah, the key to being mafia (from someone who has been mafia WAY more than he should be, statistically) is to stay out of the way and let the village hang itself.

Now, "stay out of the way" does _not_ mean go inactive. Often a village that is struggling will go on a purge of inactives a few days into the game. What it means is post like you normally would, "contribute" to the conversation (just be wrong a lot). Throw in vote analysis, if that's your thing, but try to analyze in a way that misleads the village toward a couple of innocents. Don't be afraid to toss a vote toward another mafia member, so long as there's at least one or two well-established bandwagons - makes you look that much less suspicious if that person eventually gets taken down.

Anyone here know much about the source material? What are some of the specials that we're likely to be running up against?

[figgy]

I do not, but here is the character page on the wiki: bof.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Characters

I'm assuming their version of me is Ryu. He can morph into dragons, so I'm willing to bet that works its way into his powers somewhat. Apparently there is also dragons morphing together in the game, so we'll just have to wait and see if that makes an appearance.

[TheRoadVirus]

having players fuse dragons together would be a cool, but hard to manage, feature.
