Effulgence Mafia Game Thread

Apparently my vote was not in bold. I vote to lynch Aestrix, because whether or not she killed Cricket she is officially among the ranks of the Mean Gods, so she probably had it coming for something or other.

(In case someone turns this around on me, I'd like to remind everyone that I am semi-officially the least Mean of the Mean Gods, so there.)

I precommit to writing a message here in bold, then, at some point in the future after i notice what time it is, about 3 hours from now or thereabouts. :D

Ah, wait, it's not to send private messages, it's to let people post messages that get decrypted at the same time as their crypto'd role claims.

So wait, I don't understand the timeline. You want us to vote a random person at what time? I think we should have a time window for them to claim, in case we are losing someone super important.

@Tulip: Thanks for the icon.

Private communication is banned, though, so practicing good crypto to hide private communication is probably also banned.

It's not private communication.
Somebody might want to state their powers on the record, to better gather support later. (for example. probably not advisable)
Point is still to either be read by all or to not be read at all.

I don't think I'm as of yet convinced of lynching someone, so I won't withdraw my vote for now. However since I simply can't imagine anyone managing to do anything so suspicious as to convince me to vote them out, if I do change my mind, I'll vote for the random person.

Also, cryptography!

...the killer has a zero chance of killing themself in the night...

Not relevant to anything, but I once played a game where the 4 remaining players went for a no-lynch and during the night the 1 remaining killer shot himself. The god was rather confused and asked the player if they were sure a couple of times, but as they persisted, just shrugged and moved on. It was hilarious for those of us who were dead by the time and confusing for the three townies. So, you know, I guess the not killing themselves thing depends on the leniency of our beloved Deities and the troll level of the killers :P

Edit: no one probably even noticed, but I posted, saw a typo, edited, remembered crypto stuff, edited to add this comment..

Yes, I realized that later.

Possibly not at the same time.
We might want to publish the templates and still keep powers hidden.
My original intent with the crypto thing was for everyone to open them at the same time, thus enabling us to catch liars on contradictions. We still might want to do that at some point.

Yes, I realized that later.

I realized, that you realized after I posted :)

The timeline is that at midnight UTC, in a bit over two hours, we will all receive a name of one of the players. Everybody who wants to lynch somebody, will vote to lynch that person unless they manage to convince us not to. There is currently no backup plan for if that happens; how about we proceed down the list alphabetically, wrapping from Thatwasademo to Aestrix if necessary.

Because the mods aren’t implementing this for us (I never assumed they would), we will all actually need to vote at that time if we want to change our votes.
