Game Thread Amazing Fantasy: A Spider-Man Mafia Prequel [NIGHT 10--HIATUS]

[Storm]

I don't have 5k but if I get it I'll buy a share as 1k a night fixes basically all my problems

That's what the shares give you right?

Shares give you certain perks depending on the company.

 

[Princess Abigail]

Right but I thought someone said Roxxon gives you 1k a night

 

[Princess Abigail]

That's mainly why I want to buy it

 

[Princess Abigail]

I'm boooooooooooored

 

[Ragnarokio]

i wonder if KoD is dead yet

 

[Tevish Szat]

If KoD was dead I'm sure we'd know it. I bet we need lots more votes just to lock him up.

 

[Tevish Szat]

Right but I thought someone said Roxxon gives you 1k a night

Looking at the OP, Fisk is the stock that grants daily money. If somebody said Roxxon was doing so as well that's news to me.

 

[Ragnarokio]

both grant daily income

 

[Ragnarokio]

zinger implied to me that fisk gives an average of 1K per night, but its random (or at least based on unknown variables)

roxxon gives 1K flat, unless you have a majority, in which case its 3K.

Random thought of the night: We were arguing a bit ago about how many transformations versus how many origin players and so on. If the intel that there were as many transformed roles as starting players is accurate, and we combine that data with the info from the Bugle, marked as 100%, that the game started with 9 Origin-aligned players, I think it's more likely than not that all players that began the game aligned Origin can have more than one possible win condition depending on how things go.

From a design standpoint, this also makes sense to me -- if you're always going to have WinCon X once you transform, it doesn't make sense to not tell you what this wincon is. I suspect there are transforms like Town > Superhero or Maf > Supervillain, because it didn't make sense to put them in the winconless fuzz. Those actually placed as undecided are probably properly undecided.

My other problem with your ability is that it seems you can also extort money from individual players which is potentially fatal to me.

See I'm already being extorted by the mob and I need to pay them every single night or they will kill my idiot brother who is in debt to them. This is a loss condition for me. Failure to pay means I lose.

There is a reason I want to kill mafia. I believe... potentially wrongfully... that the mafia is the mob and I know that killing the mobster my idiot brother is indebted too will remove the loss condition. What I do not know is if the mobster is player controlled its implied they may not be or if the mob is even the equivalent of the mafia in this game. I figure removing one benefits me if we get details on the name of their alignment.

I don't really have much money at all but if you ever need just a bit I can try to help.

Those actually placed as undecided are probably properly undecided.

I'm operating under this notion:

There are two types of transformations in this game. Origin transformations, which will only breed Super Heros and Super Villains, and all other basic alignment transitions. To the latter end, I do not see Origin being immune completely as those players will still have motivations beyond the Origin Alignment, although some players will likely be dedicated strictly to their role from a big bad design standpoint. However I can see flipping to another alignment only adding fuel to the fire. Like for storm the logic might be if he breaks bad because he's out of money maybe he gets more reckless and the chance he becomes electro goes up or so.

if you want me to break rule 2.7 and ragequit, i will

I do consider threatening to rage-quit poor sportsmanlike behaviour and probably against at least one of the rules.

Mafia gets heated at times, and inevitably sometimes you get dogpiled on. This is part of the game you signed up for, and I don't think anyone doing the dog-piling has crossed any unreasonable lines.

You earned a lot of heat (as I warned you that you would ) and at least some of it was well warranted. Then again, there's also @Princess Abigail's theory to consider, and if some of it was warranted, what does that mean about the rest of it? Instead of threatening to rage quit, why don't you start asking questions like "Who would be hurt more by having their discord shut down, town or scum?" and "What are the chances that at least some of the people who dog-piled on me were just scum looking for an easy wagon to push?", etc.

I would appreciate it if you didn't threaten to break the rules in an attempt to get people to back off. Consider this a soft, punishment-free warning that I won't be very happy if that kind of behaviour continues.

Try to look at the bright side... With everything that's happened toDay, at the very least, you've made people come out of the woodwork and take a stance on something. That's something that you and others can use on future Days to narrow the viewfinder and find scum. This isn't inherently a bad thing, as long as you can not implode and keep cool under pressure.

Vote: KoD

I cannot imagine him being anything less than the greatest criminal of our time.
