TV Tropes Mafia [DAY 7]

Re: TV Tropes Mafia [DAY 2]

My excuse for not being here is not having Internet. So, joe mama, then, after reading 2-3 pages.
 
Re: TV Tropes Mafia [DAY 2]

Oh, so we do have an EVUL DOCTOR!!? Or maybe just a crap innocent one... that would be funny. "YOU ONLY HEAL HALF THE TIME. THE OTHER HALF OF THE TIME YOUR VICTIM GETS DEAD."

... Actually..

I leave for a day of turkey and then...well.

Might as well lynch joe mama, as no one wants to go for any of the more obvious targets...Oh, I was going to say that the ear-bleeding thing from last night (long, long ago) seemed to me more of a healer-clash (white magic vs. black magic, or even magic vs. technology) or maybe some psychic/psycho killer drug.

I want to know what doctor in their right mind would have healed Superbird after yesterday's mess, let alone two or more doctors. If Zhorken's right about there being a mafia doctor of some sort then I can understand that player trying to protect him (and in that case perhaps that doctor isn't always effective, as Linoone guessed before and Tailsy just mentioned), but an innocent? Especially when they might've been risking protecting him from Walker's/someone else's vigkill? If that's actually true then point them out to me after the game so I can kick them in the teeth, please.

Lynch joe mama, since I wasn't able to say so earlier due to lack of internet and surplus of Harry Potter. At this point it's hardly necessary, but.
 
Re: TV Tropes Mafia [DAY 2]

Could be someone with a combo of I Know Your True Trope / Words Can Break My Brains. I, too, would really hope it wasn't a healer clash. Walker's wonderful toys are vague enough to possibly do it, or possibly it's an Act of God as punishment for revealing things he wasn't supposed to, if that's the kind of stuff that happens here.

Anyhow, there could also be a Mad Doctor who similarly might have the power of a 50% chance of healing/killing the target (because the medicines are unlablelled) or just being a mafia-aligned doctor, meaning there are both roles.
 
Re: TV Tropes Mafia [DAY 2]

Hello, Zhorken. Not exactly suspicious of you yet, considering the number of players, and it kind of makes sense, your trope... but I'm a Mysterious Informant as well. Now, my info for you all is that someone is quite Genre Savvy.

So, yeah. Someone is Genre Savvy. I don't know who. Zhorken, if you don't mind, will you reveal your power trope? I'm not sure about you yet.

So I'm a Mysterious Informant (well, obviously not so much with the mystery) and my sources say we have a Back Alley Doctor lurking about.

I've been sick for the past week and not really keeping up, but it doesn't look like this info's been particularly critical yet, wooo.

It's only the second day and we already have, like, 3 innocent roleclaims. What's going onnnnnnn D:

And your role is obviously quite important, so why did you just go our and roleclaim like this? It just makes you suspicious, not to mention make everyone more confused. Power trope, please, unless you're not allowed to tell us.

Although having more choices of people to heal is going to make a healer clash have a lower probability of happening, so I guess that's a good thing?

Maybe the Mafia Doctors healer-clashed Superbird. It's quite possible, at any rate. Act of God doesn't seem as probable, but Butterchuru did say that the flavor text might (only might, not will or does or whatever) reveal something.

My brain hurts D:
 
Re: TV Tropes Mafia [DAY 2]

If somebody died by an Act of God of any sort, this would be made explicit. All killings have happened in accordance with the roles in the game and the night actions performed.

Re: TV Tropes Mafia [DAY 2]

...the only good thing about all of these roleclaims is that the mafia(s) can't kill all of you in one night. Mysterious Informants, how exactly do you get your information? Do you ask a question every (other) night (similar to oracles), or do you just receive information at the beginning of the game?
 
Re: TV Tropes Mafia [DAY 2]

Yep. What Ketsu said, other than the doctor stuff. Expospeak is my power trope as well.
 
Re: TV Tropes Mafia [DAY 2]

Roleclaiming time. Basically, I got the same info as Zhorken. My power trope is exospeak, so I guess I'm nothing special. And yes, we (mystery informants) don't get any additional info D:
 
Re: TV Tropes Mafia [DAY 2]

Well, I'm assuming that if there are two mafia factions, the opposing faction wouldn't really want Superbird healed... and if the mafia had two doctors, they can communicate to avoid the healer-clash.

I meant that there might be a mafia doctor + an unreliable doctor, though.

But really, informants, since you're not capable of a Stealth Hi Bye, revealing your role is probably not safe. Um.

So anyway. Dunno what Genre Savviness can help with (other than life and everything), but the Magic vs Science of doctorness does raise questions. If there are more than two doctors, say, would a magic healer-clash or a nanomachine healer-clash be perfectly safe? If so, it would be pretty easy to just say "scientific doctors heal Vixie and magical doctors heal Walker" (meaning the mafia targets other people, knowing they're not protected), but it we don't know, then, well.

Also it is somewhat possible that all otherwise role-less innocents are informants or something of that nature, so let's not all reveal ourselves so the mafia can determine the dangerous ones via process of elimination.
 
Re: TV Tropes Mafia [DAY 2]

And is that the only information you believe you're going to receive? Because if so then fine, what you've shared is better than nothing and if it's all you're going to get then the mafia doesn't have to worry about you, but if you thought you were going to get more then why D: I've been in games where I wasn't sure whether I should reveal not-immediately-relevant information early because I feared for my life, but, save for me making a tiny footnote about Zhorken, none of you were in immediate danger and I really hope you didn't just make yourselves giant targets for just about no reason.

EDIT: Never mind, ninja'd. But yes, any other informants please shut up until you think your information is actually relevant.
 
Re: TV Tropes Mafia [DAY 2]

That's all the information I get, and probably all the rest. Really, I don't see why the mafia would target us, because I have nothing else to give to the innocents. Like you said, I'm not that harmful to the mafia.
 
Re: TV Tropes Mafia [DAY 2]

Yeah, I realized that after Skylark ninja'd my previous post and so I tried to edit it in but got 500-errored out. Dammit forum stop doing that.

Regardless, I too would appreciate it if that's the last we hear from any more Mysterious Informants unless their lives are actually in danger or their information is relevant--aside from the doctor information, nothing posted so far is all that helpful at this point, and Kusari's right that it's just making the mafia's job that much simpler.
 
Re: TV Tropes Mafia [DAY 2]

... I'm not even going to ask why you didn't all roleclaim immediately. A decent mafia would pick off the player who roleclaim inspector/doctor roles, not useless innocents...

WELL WHATEVER. SOUNDS LIKE THE DOCTORS ARE IN FOR FUNTIMES! 8D
