Elcenia Mafia Game Thread

Not the kind with cardstock and pawns. Mostly play by post Mafia so far.

Agreed. There is no reason the write name thing should be limited to a single name.
I'll do mine when I wake up.
We should start soonish so we have a period of writing then a period of revealing what we have and still have time for discussion afterwards.

How exactly do you do a list post?

Hey, I have a listpost! Is here: http://alicorn.elcenia.com/board/viewto ... =80#p11103 . I know it was made pre-codified rules but it follows spec. I could re-write if you want but I feel like I might give things away if I do, which is why I have not. I am sorry it was not clear that that was my listpost.

tau, that listpost does not assert that if you are town it contains your true role and power, which is why I did not record it among the valid listposts. And glancing over it, most of the powers it lists seem to take the form "I have no idea" or refer to in-universe characteristics without guessing at how they translate into in-game roles. It is not a very effective listpost if it is one.

If I am town (which I am) my role (and power if I have one) is included in this list.

Arylla – possible killer?
Ehail – vanilla?
Finnah – vanilla?
Gyre – vanilla?
Hallai – possible killer or cult leader, maybe with an extra goal related to Ilen. pistachi0n’s idea that she’s
a vote stealer sounds right too. I could also see her with a Sherlock-ish role to protect Ilen, though that
might unfairly stack if I’m right about dragons above.
Ilen – vanilla but with a goal related to Hallai?
Kanaat – private communication with Keo, probably included specifically for this reason.
Kaylo – I think he’ll have Addy’s role minus the copying, because I think he has to have some kind of
power, he’s good at analysis spells (along with many other things) and he’s very interested in different
types of magic.
Keo – Investigative role probably, private communication channel with Kanaat. If there’s a cult based on
dragon mind magic, Keo’s probably immune.
Leekath – Possibly an investigative role. I think between Keo and Leekath there would be one who
identifies character names and one who identifies affiliations, but I’m not sure which would be which.
Korulen – vanilla?
Mallyn – private communication channel with Rithka.
Narax – he’s a wizard with high CC, maybe he gets double voting? Possibly a goal related to Samia.
Rhysel – Town, died night 1.
Rithka – private communication channel with Mallyn.
Saasnil – vanilla?
Samia – possible killer (I am aware that she may not be evil enough to be a killer, but I’m having trouble
thinking of plausible killers...), maybe a goal related to Narax.
Sashpark – vanilla?
Talyn – Something related to being an innate kama? I seem to be unable think of a way to translate that
into a mafia power.

Effective in what sense?

Also yes, if I am town it does in fact contain my role and a description of my power if I have one.

wolf's and tau's listposts are now added to my spreadsheet.

tau, the point of making listposts long is to disguise the entry that is actually you. Entries like "Ehail -- shren, wizard" do nothing to disguise the entry that is actually you because they contain no information about what Ehail's power might be but don't write her off as vanilla either, so obviously if you are town and that list contains your role-and-power you aren't Ehail.
