jimmynick Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 As per Shadows's admonition, my signing-up for Harriet Slutter is totally contingent on when Aperture Academy ends, and how Shadows and Darkdragon view my play over the course of the game.
Hinckley Posted April 19, 2013 Author Posted April 19, 2013 As per Shadows's admonition, my signing-up for Harriet Slutter is totally contingent on when Aperture Academy ends, and how Shadows and Darkdragon view my play over the course of the game. I know. Thanks. I've been watching the game and having a good time doing so. I'm impressed with a lot of you. I don't want to say anything until the conclusion, but I look forward to playing with you someday.
Palathadric Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 1. Bedtime Story, Jedi Temple, Excalibur 1 & 2, Ragnarok Now, Pearl (still awaiting 2.0), Eurobricks II, for some reason I feel like I'm forgetting something. 2. I think I should be able to do so alright. My internet was down for the past week, but hopefully it won't happen again. 3. What's NA? I'll echo Rick in saying that I'm always vanilla (or the Paranoid Axe Killer ), so it should be no problem. 4. There's been a lot of good ones. Dragmall's manishly not being any man was pretty funny though. 5. Vanilla townies are what make the town the good guys and the scum the bad guys. Without the vanillas it may as well be two rival gangs going head-to-head, just one is united and the other doesn't know who the devil they are. Vanillas are the only ones who can think for themselves with the game host corrupting their minds with exciting night actions. 6. I'll try. I wouldn't base my honour on it, but I think I'll do my best.
Hinckley Posted April 20, 2013 Author Posted April 20, 2013 Thanks to everybody for signing up. I have more than enough signups to fill the required slots. I will keep this open for any last minute signups until about 12 hours from now. Avatars and confirmation pictures are being photographed right now and soon the cups come out! I'm looking forward to this game and I hope I can provide a fun time for all involved.
Tachyon Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 1. Witchbreed, Yakuza, Jedi Temple, Police Infriltration2. Will be able to "focus" on game for the next 32 days.3. I guess I can make the deadlines............4. How Tamamono screwed the town over in Jedi Temple5. Vanilla Townies are the army of minions who force over the lynch on people.6. I have honour now ? But yeah, you have my word
def Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Hasn't this thing started? Where's the confirmation thread? I'm town, by the way, in case you were unsure. The scum already know that though and are planning to take me out. Goddam meta-gamers
Piratedave84 Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Since Thursday I have developed a compulsion to check this thread and my PM a bazillion times per day! I am itching to redeem myself!
Hinckley Posted April 20, 2013 Author Posted April 20, 2013 I've created a lot of busy work for myself this time around so expect a confirmation thread in about 4 hours.
TrumpetKing Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Yay! This will be fun! Hopefully I'm in, but either way it will be fun!
Hinckley Posted April 20, 2013 Author Posted April 20, 2013 The cups have done their thing. Now it's time to write the role PMs. Should be done in a couple hours, I think, at the most. Pretty excited to be starting a new game!
Hinckley Posted April 20, 2013 Author Posted April 20, 2013 Heh, it's been two hours huh? Sorry, I say every time I forget how time-consuming this part is and I really do forget. It still may be a few hours. Relax, enjoy your weekend. I'm working on it non-stop and it will all be up as soon as I have it finished. I suspect it will take at least a couple more hours from now. Sorry I'm bad at estimating Mafia workload.
TrumpetKing Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 No problem! I'm just excited to get back to playing, hopefully!
Brickington Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 I am super super excited to (maybe, hopefully, is that a yes?) play. Especially among some Mafia legends. If you let me play, I promise I won't edit any of my posts.
TrumpetKing Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Hinckley, I understand that you are busy. Take your time, this will be an excellent gane. However, would you be alright with posting the names of the players (not the characters or anything unless you wish)? I'm just curious, it would be nice to know if we should be checking back every couple of hours or if some of us don't have to. Thanks.
Palathadric Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 You're killing me here. That's what Mafia is all about.
Tamamono Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 I've actually used Random.org for similar things, and I've found that it comes up with the same number suspiciously often.
def Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 I've actually used Random.org for similar things, and I've found that it comes up with the same number suspiciously often. That was just stochasticity.
Tamamono Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 That was just stochasticity. Well, stochasticity or not, it sure makes assigning roles hard when one person ends up getting drawn 5 times.
def Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 There was a study on coin flips, where a person was asked to flip a coin 100 times, and another asked to pretend to flip, but just write results. The researchers were always able to tell who lied. The liars equally distributed their flips to much. Real randomness would create runs of six or seven consecutive tails (or heads) but the takers thought that looked too fake. True randomness has repetition, which is why boy wonder has been scum 80% of the time, against all odds. Somebody will have that happen to them
Darkdragon Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Well, stochasticity or not, it sure makes assigning roles hard when one person ends up getting drawn 5 times. Kinda sounds like you're doing it wrong. Drawing a role should never ever ever have a chance of picking the same role or the same name twice. How is that even possible?
Tamamono Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Kinda sounds like you're doing it wrong. Drawing a role should never ever ever have a chance of picking the same role or the same name twice. How is that even possible? You're probably right; there is an extremely low chance that I'm doing it right. I have it listed as numbers 1-X (X being the amount of players, of course), and then generate a new number for each role.
Peanuts Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 You're probably right; there is an extremely low chance that I'm doing it right. I have it listed as numbers 1-X (X being the amount of players, of course), and then generate a new number for each role. Have you considered taking the role out once it was drawn? As in, generate a random number to draw a player, then to draw a role, then repeat with new numbers assigned to the roles and players that are left? I don't know, maybe I'm just approaching things too complicatedly
Darkdragon Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 You're probably right; there is an extremely low chance that I'm doing it right. I have it listed as numbers 1-X (X being the amount of players, of course), and then generate a new number for each role. Yeah...I don't think that's a good way. Perhaps this isn't the best place to discuss it though, since we are derailing the poor thread already.
