Dungeons and Dragons Mafia [DAY 1]

Re: Dungeons and Dragons Mafia [NIGHT 0]

As the sun rises, the monsters start to wake and creep from their lairs, blinking into the sunlight filtering through the trees. The sound of birdsong is all throughout the clearing, as there is a soft wind rustling the leaves, trees swaying ever so slightly. As the beasts creep into the light, the good mood of the dawn is quickly dashed away by a discovery.

KR-9's body lays in the centre of the clearing, several stab wounds in his chest and stomach. On closer inspection, he was Innocent.

After a bit more searching, Sunflower is discovered dozing against a tree. All attempts to wake her prove futile.

24 Hours for discussion. Sunflower may not take part today.

And it begins...

Well, nothing other than to say "I wonder why they were killed first" and "What now". So...yeah, got nothing to work on until others start to post and we can start figuring this put before too many are slain.
 
Looks like whoever got the Dragon picked Green, since from what I can tell it's the only role with the power to prevent people from participating in discussion.

Whether they chose innocent or mafia is another question.
 
Obviously they chose mafia. There is no point at all in choosing silencer if you're innocent, and it's unhelpful to the game even if you suspect whoever you target. It's far more helpful to choose inspector or doctor. Also, variables always choose mafia. Always.

(I wouldn't, but the fact that I've never been a variable makes this irrelevant.)
 
While you have a point, Mai, we could be dealing with an inexperienced player (like Moo or Ya ok or Mendatt I really wouldn't be able to tell/know) and they could have chosen silencer and innocent. Just because you wouldn't doesn't mean any random person wouldn't :\

Anyway I think KR-9 is an interesting choice for the first kill because (and this is just me speaking) choosing Mai, Sunflower, LS99, or even heck, me would have made more sense due to our further experience than some other players.

But what would I know :I

That's just basic common sense :| And what gives you the idea I'm inexperienced?
 
It's just that you've been in less games than some of the other participants and are therefore more likely to make strange decisions, imo.
 
It really is. :|

I guess someone could've chosen an innocent silencer? In the same way that a mafia could've chosen inspector? It just doesn't make any sense, and I don't think that it's reasonable to think that the variable is innocent.
 
^ He's got a point. The more experienced players are better targets. Sizz-Lor, me, Moo (HA me Moo...), ole_schooler, LS99, are some of the more experienced players.

EDIT: I CAN HAZ NINJAZ?

Mafia is not what I would describe as unique to this site. Making assumptions base on hypothetical knowledge is probably not a good idea.
 
Well generally people that become part of the game here don't have experience with it before because either this is the first forum they've been on, or the other(s) they were on didn't have it.

I was just making generalizations. Sorry.
 
If you don't want to say the mafia are inexperienced (killing more experienced players is a good idea), then what about this theory?

The mafia are experienced, or at least trying to look inexperienced. After all, say a game consists of Vixie, Butterfree, opal, Negrek, Kratos and Tailsy (add all of the experienced mods) plus many other slightly experienced and then inexperienced players.

Every one of the named group dies except Tailsy, and then the slightly experienced players start dying. Wouldn't that look at least a tiny bit suspicious?

Of course, I don't think there's enough of a clear line between experienced and inexperienced to make this theory viable. Personally, I think either the mafia is inexperienced or thinks the bigger targets will be healed.

Which is very likely, actually!
 
So, we seem kind of stuck. And Sizz-Lorr, I'm absolutely shocked I didn't figure into the list of inexperienced players. I don't think the Dragon speculation is going to get us far. If an inexperienced player (like me, for example) was given the Dragon Role, they may have just chosen a name at random. It's what I usually do, thinking fine decisions can be made later, when there are more clues to roles.

At this early stage, we won't be able to decipher the Dragon's alignment. So, suggestion for what we should do?
 
Sorry, I was posting that under the assumption that it might be entirely wrong (hence the last line of it), and I didn't do much thinking about it.

And @ Mai: That is in fact very plausible, and it does make a lot of sense. I'm not trying to discount the validity of it here, but there is theoretically only one healer, yes? I'd say there about six or seven more experienced players. This compared to one healer, the chances of actually killing an experienced player is rather high, as only one can be protected at a time. So I guess they could either be inexperienced or faking inexperience, but it would be just as easy to target the ones with more experience, is what occurs to me. Now, as the number of experienced players wanes, so does the chance of a successful kill, but it is easy then to switch targeting systems.

tl;dr standard mafia tactic is kinda standard, I guess.
 
Actually there are 2 doctors in this one. And there are what, four mafia including the dragon, so it's likely at least someone in the mafia group has some experience.
