When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. When your womb quickens again, and you bear a living child. Then he will reveal his secrets, and not before.

Rule #1: Don't trust Klippy. Ever.
Rule #2: Don't trust Deceptio either.

Bad genes.

You can redirect it to anyone else as long as it isn't a no-lynch.

Rule 1: Always trust Klippy
Rule 2: You can trust me, I'm a politician.

So this isn't a question per se, but something I've been wondering (more in EM than forum mafia) buuut:

If a cop reveals themselves publically and you're the doctor. Do you protect them or not? I say this because it's obvious the doctor normally would save the cop - and as such the mafia will just have free reign on killing every other player in the game. So would it then be smart to purposely not save the doctor and try and guess who will actually be targeted?

I suppose it's a matter of personal preference and risk-taking, on both sides of the matter (if you were maifa, would you risk killing the cop after a RR?).

Gunner, you're ridiculous. This thread isn't the Klippy Question Hour. This is about serious things to answer in mafia and you're making it into a sideshow.

I've never been mafia in a forum-based game, so I've wondered: do the mafia have a way of communicating and coordinating their night kills/actions?

Well more often than not I would think the baddies have some form of communication outside of the thread. At least that's how it worked in OUaT and for the vampires in GAU. It might change from GM to GM, though.

Klippy August 31st, 2015 9:33 AM

Most games have Skype chats. PCU never had a Skype chat until the very end of things. aSoIaF had the PM Letters system, but eventually I gave the wights a Skype chat despite not wanting to initially. They used it well.

People use CSS code to stylize their posts. There's a tutorial about it here. You could also copy the arachnidsGrip's lay-out, as many people do here anyway. (Just make sure to give credit if you do.)

CSS is magic ^_^. On that note, if anyone ever wants some help o/.

I personally wouldn't heal the doctor, unless I had no other choice (like there's no other person I trust to be innocent).

I feel like that's what I'd do to. I mean, why on earth would mafia try to kill a cop after an RR when doctor is still living? :s

But again, it comes down to player preference, and taking risks.

Thanks Weiss and Bac for answering <3

edit: So after thinking about it more for a couple moments longer, here is another way to word it:

If the cop role reveals publicly, and the doctor is alive and agrees to protecting the cop. Then the doctor is essentially being roleblocked (without maifa even ahving to do anything) for the rest of the game. That's not something any innocent would want. Right?

Ok, I just found this section of PC and I'm very interested. I have some questions though.

I've seen a lot of "you get auto-death if you miss two voting". Now I'm not sure how fast paced those game's are, but what if I know I'll be offline for a few days? Can I somehow tell so upfront and get a pass for that time?
Should I make sure to not sign on four or six weeks prior to a holiday of 5+ days? What if I'm offline for 3 days every month or so?

Also is there a shedule or guideline as to when (or how often) new games will be released?

There's mentiones about a skype chat here and there but I can't find it. Help?

If I have any other questions, where should I ask them?

Day phases last 48 hours. And night phases last 24 hours. So you've got a few days to handle it, but if you miss TWO of those 48 hour phases, you'll be auto-killed. You can PM the Game Master and tell them if you're away and they may grant you leniency, but 5+ days away from the game is a lot of missed time, so some might not allow that. But 3 days would only be a whole phase (day and night) missed and wouldn't be too bad.

Check out the Mafia Index to see the lineup. New games come as soon as others finish. There's a few close to ending, so new games come quick.

Look at the Splash where the Godfather gif is. There's a link to the Skype chat there.

Other questions, either here or the Hangout. :)

So you have a fixed number of open games? How many? (I'm seeing 3 active, two finished and two not on shedule right now, but three sounds like a bit low)

There are five active games currently. Four large games, and one small game.

Now I feel like using this thread the way it's supposed to be: What are all those references to salt / salty about?

Pretty much when someone dies because of shenanigans or gets a negative role acted upon them, they feel bad aka salty.

I should know, I'm the saltiest snail here :P
