Contest Pokémafia Spectacular! - Game Thread

i know d0 is for memes so i promise this will be my last game-relevant post for a while but. first thing that occurs to me based on the rules is that the mafia will presumably find it quite easy to manipulate the most popular contest type. (obligatory disclaimer: assuming there is a mafia and they have a mafia chat. not always a given with MF.) so I am in favour of trying to remove that advantage from them by agreeing a contest type between us before the end of each day.

just a thought, sing out if you disagree. and no particular preference what the type should be, at least for N1

wait, i thought mf said the contest type is determined outside of our own move choices?

the type of most Moves used in the night becomes the Popular type

anyway, qenya's suggestion sounds good in a vacuum but I agree with RNP that, knowing MF's penchant for shenanigans, it is entirely possible anti-town roles could have killing and/or other powers that depend on guessing the target's contest type, so I am reticent to try to game the system like this. in fact, dare I say, I'd expect MF may even have intentionally included such powers as a deterrent to town gaming the system by publicly planning the popular contest type in advance.
 
oh hmm i misread her reply to me earlier then... waugh mechanics. i am easily confused though so i will go with the flow.
 
we could derail the conversation completely by talking about something not even a little bit game related
 
i like the front right... honestly though if you're cooking at all i'd cheer you on, i'm not that good at cooking myself and would probably just do better helping here and there instead of being In Charge
 
i forgor to say that the reason i don't like the front left burner is it's really close to the wall in our house, but i still preferred front right in a different house before i moved, so ig it doesn't actually factor in...?
 
we used to have a front left and right, and then a MIDDLE burner that was elongated for heating a skillet

middle gang
 
i keep instinctively refreshing for this thread but there's nothing new to read... about what i should expect from. midnight reading i guess

don't know if it'll be relevant with this level of activity/since it's only day 0, but i'm going to be out all day with friends tomorrow so i won't be around. (on the other hand things are moving slowly enough that i could probably pop in from my phone anyway??) can't wait for things to pick up though!!!

oh this is valid

i'm not sure i'd say it's likely, it seems a bit overpowered as roles go. but enough of a scary possibility to work as a deterrent
