Mafia Round 14 - The town strikes back (Town Wins!)

[Yurikochan]

No, I've tried that.  Apparently telling the thread you're BO doesn't convince anyone to lynch you   ::)

We trust you, GIN.

Good, good!  Who do you want me to investigate?

Go investigate that Phoenix, I hear she's high up in the FBI! *is actually Kaito disguised as Shinichi, disguised as Vermouth*

[Kleene Onigiri]

I think it would be hard to die on a specific day D: Because saying you want to get lynched would be suspicious and people would notice that it's for a objective. So you would need to do it in that way, that you're not obvious and that you don't waste your role and find out stuff about town before you die XD

The stabbing, you mean that killing me on night 2? XD

[Schillok]

Rules and roles and abilities were added now.

Basically things are ready to finish the sign-up phase. Once round 12 ends of course.

[Crap4869]

Is it too late to sign up now? lol.
and one question, for someone to PM the GM for actions, it can be done at any time of the day as long as it's still that phase right? Or is it limited to some time around the phase change? (I'm concerned here as the time the phase changes isn't possible for me to log in.)
P.S. will respond the next day, off to bed.

[PT]

Who's on top of the list? D:

Can't say right now. It's not you, though.

No, I've tried that.  Apparently telling the thread you're BO doesn't convince anyone to lynch you

What are you talking about? I'm not FBI. I'm... Kazuha! Yes, Kazuha! No need to investigate me...

Yes, sign-ups are still open. And yes, you may PM your actions to the GM any time during the phase.

What's the point of the two listening/watching roles "starting off" differently? I mean, if it's a day/night action and you can switch whenever, what you start as doesn't really matter. I'm not really sure how useful that ability will be either, unless you expect the majority of the missions to be relatively easy/reasonable to accomplish.

Mhh... you are right, unless there are tasks that can be completed during night 1, there is little reason to decide to "switch" between listening and watching.
I just wanted to make sure that there is a "starting setting" for night 1. I am not sure how useful it will be either. It surely is a rather weak ability - unless both roles are in the game and in contact with each other. Because then they can become quite powerful.
But even if alone they will be able to "find" town roles in the game at random (like Okina). Or players who might be able to more than their normal role would allow.

wait, so does it take a phase until the action takes effect then?

Like, if on Night 1 I say "I wanna listen", will I only become listening after night 1 (thus, not receiving any listen answers for night 1)?

Alternately, you could make one of them a permanent watcher, the other a permanent listener, and then give each of them X times where they can choose to use the other ability for the phase that they hand in the action for, so they're different characters.

edit: also, a suggestion for anokata because he's still the normal version here:
perhaps, if anokata is in the game, he starts out with the black suitcase on night 1? Otherwise, the BO has to wait until day 1 to hand it out, but this would give anokata further identity protection imo, which I think would be neat.

Yes.
The ability is passive so you can't choose if you want to "listen" or "watch". But you are allowed to switch to the other mode during the next phase.
In that regard the ability is working similar to traveling, where "boarding the plane" happens in the phase after you decide "I want to travel".

Alternately, you could make one of them a permanent watcher, the other a permanent listener, and then give each of them X times where they can choose to use the other ability for the phase that they hand in the action for, so they're different characters.

They were intended to be almost identical. So they have exactly the same ability... just a different starting "mode".

Mhh, sounds pretty good. Another buff for the BO, allowing me to cut their number after they won so often the past games. And allowing them to fit in a bit better.
Yup, I will take that suggestion.

I didn't kill you, Araide saved you!

So would it be possible to investigate whether someone listened/watched on a specific night?

Awww.

No, it is not possible to investigate either. Listening and watching are passive and therefore can not be investigated.
