Re: Round 72: Dragon-Blooded Mafia
Oh shit. I missed out on some things over the past day.
Alright, voting with the oldies seems to be a good plan of action so far, so I'm gonna hope that my [vote Geno] doesn't screw us over. The both of you seem trustworthy enough. Anything to avenge Cloak.

Re: Round 72: Dragon-Blooded Mafia
Jesus, how did THREE PEOPLE die??? I've never seen something go so horrifically wrong so quickly. Considering that I'm being put up to the block, I believe it is time for my role to be revealed:
My Anima Power is a 10% chance of hiding from a night action.
My charm a High-percentage PI type power. It's base was a 60% chance to work, and it would be increased based on if the target attacked/killed somebody up to 85%.
Link, I trust you. You've helped the downfall of two of the mafias. I've been hiding my role all game and investigating people. Now that I've dropped the bomb that I'm a PI, I won't be seeing the light of tomorrow's day even if you don't lynch me. I've investigated you and saw that you're a townie, but I never tried gam nor lucid. As for explaining the reason behind my stupid actions... well, it was to make me look harmless while I quietly investigated during the night... Although I never ended up finding a single mafia...
I'm choosing to [vote gam] because I believe that the source of no killing might have simply been from afk people. I doubt lucid would take advantage of it (though, there is a good chance that I am wrong), I know gam is experienced enough to pull a powerful ruse like that.
I'm not even 100% sure that you're a townie Link, but I gotta go with it now, cos I'm at the block and you're the only one I have somewhat evidence to be a townie. There is going to be a lynching and then a killing tonight, and if the lynched isn't mafia, they're taking the victory.

Re: Round 72: Dragon-Blooded Mafia
Hmmmm...poop. I want to believe you, but apparently the townies and mafia share some similar powers. On the other hand, why would a mafia have a PI (I'm assuming that means Private Investigator) power?
All my powers were based around avoiding detection and enemy charms, with 50%, 100% with a recharge, and type-based evasion. I think I'll change my mind then, because I am much to malleable online. [vote Link]

Re: Round 72: Dragon-Blooded Mafia
Geno was lynched.
Lucidity was a victim of DBs' shitty defense Charms.
Gam lost by default.
[kill Geno]
[kill Lucidity]
[kill Gam]
Which leaves our sole survivor, Link.
- Spoiler:
- Dear Geno,
You are Iselsi Vannu, a Water-Aspected Dragon-Blood of the Realm.
Anima Power – 10% chance of hiding from a night effect
[Scent-of-Crime Method]
This simple Charm allows you to assess the personality and guilt of a subject. When investigating someone with this Charm, you have a 60% chance of accurately determining their loyalties. If their last action was to attack someone, you have an extra 10% chance of detecting them as mafia. If their last action was to kill someone, you have an extra 25% chance instead.
You win when the mafia are eliminated.
You have learned a new Charm!
[Bloodhound's Nose Technique]
The Dragon-Blooded are relentless as the ocean surf as it pounds upon the coast. Every night, you investigate any night kills and have a 10% chance of knowing two people who might have done it, a 10% chance of knowing three people who might have done it, a 20% chance of knowing four people, and a 60% chance of getting no result.
Lucidity was a victim of DBs' shitty defense Charms.
- Spoiler:
- Dear Lucidity,
You are Ledaal Dara, an Air-Aspected Dragon-Blood of the Realm. You actually have a twin along, with which you may freely communicate, and whom you can completely trust: Cloak.
Anima Power – 10% chance of using a Charm before someone else in a speed tie
[Soundless Action Prana]
The wind is quiet, carrying the leaf along above the heads of even the most vigilant watchman. You may go undetected for a night, granting you a 50% chance to evade any effect.
You win when the mafia are eliminated.
You have learned a new Charm!
[Dragon Shroud Technique]
This Charm grants you near-perfect invisibility, shielding you from any night effect. However, supernatural tracking Charms negate this ability. In addition, it is expensive to maintain with willpower... you can use it one night and recharge for a night, or use it two nights consecutively and recharge for two nights.
You have learned a new Charm!
[Air Defense Technique]
Any and all Fire-aspect, Water-aspect, and Air-aspects that attempt to affect you are nullified completely, despite any effects they may have. Wood and Earth aspects can still affect you due to their grounded nature.
Gam lost by default.
- Spoiler:
- Dear Gam,
You are V'neef Mariv, a Wood-Aspected Dragon-Blood of the Realm.
Anima Power – 10% chance of poisoning someone you come into contact with at night
[Orgiastic Fugitive Form]
You have learned to weaponize your hedonistic habits through the Orgiastic Fugitive style of supernatural martial arts. For every night, you gain a level of intoxication. When targeted by a hostile effect, each level of intoxication grants you a 20% bonus to evade the effect OR a 10% bonus to counter the effect, possibly killing your assailant. You must make this choice each night, whether targeted or not.
You win when the mafia are eliminated.
You have learned a new Charm!
[Unhealthy Miasma Stance]
You have mastered the art of weaponizing your intoxication. On a given night, when countering an attack, you may also elect to turn each of your intoxication levels into a NEGATIVE 10% chance for anyone attempting to attack or affect you. This goes towards the counter, though you still gain a bonus for every intoxication level you had before you spent them.
[kill Geno]
[kill Lucidity]
[kill Gam]

- Spoiler:
- Dear Link Lab,
You are Crimson Blossom, a Wood-Aspected Dragon-Blood of the Threshold.
Anima Power – 10% chance of poisoning someone you come into contact with at night
[Poisoned Tongue Technique]
The Dragon-Blooded society has always been one of suspicion and intrigue. You have learned to use this to your advantage, convincing people that their friends are enemies and vice versa. You have a 75% chance of reflexively changing one target's vote during the night phase, before votes are actually calculated. This Charm does not make contact.
You win when you and your allies (Zink120 and Aboithagameboi) outnumber the town.
You have learned a new Charm!
[Voices on the Wind]
A single leaf floating on the wind can carry great meaning to a person and mean nothing to another. You can eavesdrop on one person, hearing their voice during the night, and you have a 50% chance to read any actions they send to the DM that night.
You have learned a new Charm!
[With One Mind]
Any actions which reveal information to the user are revealed to the Dragon-Blooded who uses this Charm. This Charm is a one-time use, and has a cumulative 40% chance to cease functioning after its first use.

Re: Round 72: Dragon-Blooded Mafia
Pattern Spider Award: Link
He had a wonderful start, then lost both of his buddies in a row. He thought he'd messed up when French didn't die, but he proceeded to overwhelm the town with a triple kill and a well-executed final day... including a lucky break with Lucidity's aspect (Fire, Earth, or Wood aspects would be unkillable with their Defense Techniques)
Not-So-Perfect Defense Award: French
Despite being the only person to tank a night kill, he unfortunately succumbed to the poison anima.
Stoned Out of His Mind Award: Gam
His inactivity not only raised suspicion, but pretty much cost the town the game.

Well played to Mafia I guess, though I'm surprised we even did this well given the amount of probability based roles in this game. Felt weaker than a vanilla town. Were it not for the strange Zink/Aboi plays, Mafia may have gotten a flawless victory. :P Thanks for the game Draco.

Re: Round 72: Dragon-Blooded Mafia
You say that but my last victory was with you in Jet Set Radio (and I died just before we won). Since last June I've been in 4.5 winning mafias with 10 games played as mafia. Also, I think this is the first time I've been the last mafia standing and won (it certainly is the first on this forum). Of course, I did have a very good role (some might even say an OP role). Shame the power failed when Zink's life was on the line (He only had a 1/8 chance to die while French had 3/8 and Geno had 1/2).Tael wrote:in related news, link is mafia, takes victory, again

And I was gonna lynch Link too, if Scept hadn't voted for me even after everyone told him I was guaranteed innocent. "Oh, sorry I didn't read" doesn't come off as convincing if you don't change your opinion in light of the new information.
Also, that Wood anima power seems a might bit too powerful, expecially when it essentially negates bulletproof

If I might offer some general advise that I've been itching to say since I started watching this game:
Chance negates skill. The more chance there is in the game, the more it can work against the skill of the players. The first thing I do when I create a game is work to eliminate as much chance from it as I can. I'd rather have my players dictate what happens in the game, not random.org.
Not at all intended as an insult or anything. Just sharing my thoughts as a fellow host.

Re: Round 72: Dragon-Blooded Mafia
Yeah the RNG element just makes the game somewhat pointless as all the info you have is probably wrong. Either make my bulletproof or don't. But 10%? Statistically speaking I may as well have been vanilla (though the odds definitely worked in my favour this game). Plus the new abilities gained by probability were again, heavily RNG dependent.
I just think that had Mafia just played it cool and not switched their votes awkwardly in R3, town had NO concrete way of determining who was Mafia, and would have had to blind-vote their way to victory. The game is already hard enough with a blind roleset, but making everything RNG based makes shit a lot harder.
Gotta admit, I'm not even a fan of RNG for determining roles. It leads to people like Zink and Link to end up with the same role over and over.

Re: Round 72: Dragon-Blooded Mafia
I very much prefer a truly random assignment of roles. Without that, you can begin to mindgame the host ("Zink can't possibly be mafia because he was mafia in the last two games") which should never happen. The host should be as invisible as possible, only existing to keep the game running and clarify rules as needed. That said, I do tend to reroll things occasionally if I strongly feel like a setup is too one-sided. We are all here to have fun, after all, and a game that ends in a flawless victory for either side is usually not as fun as a game that is down to the wire.
Additionally, in my opinion, RNG can be perfectly fine in a game. I see three aspects to 'good' RNG in a game. When all three elements exist, RNG can be very useful to the setup without harming the effect of player skill.
The first and most important aspect is consistent interaction. Powers that are only used once or twice (such as the bulletproof abilities this game) do not belong in the realm of RNG since it essentially ensures that the player with the power is either 'lucky' (got what they wanted) or 'unlucky' (didn't get what they wanted) with no room for a middle ground. You need enough interaction with the RNG to even out the odds so players are much less likely to be lucky or unlucky.
The second aspect is impact. Powers that have a large impact on the game (once again, such as the bulletproof abilities we saw here) should have solid mechanics behind them and not RNG. RNG belongs for those powers which don't have the potential to be completely game breaking if someone is consistently lucky or unlucky.
The third and most easily ignored aspect is the level of chance. Abilities with very high or very low chances to succeed have a greater potential to be frustrating to the players. If an ability has a 90% chance to work, the player will tend to count on it like it has a 100% chance and will feel screwed over if it fails. Likewise, as was often the case this game, abilities with extremely low chances might as well not be abilities at all. Like French said, with a 10% chance to survive, he was basically a vanilla villager since he had absolutely no reason to count on the power working. This aspect of RNG can be ignored much more easily than the other two, but it REALLY compounds any failures to heed the other two aspects I mentioned above.
So in conclusion, I don't think RNG as a whole is bad. It has it's place. But it should be dealt with very carefully as will negatively impact the game if it is overused or implemented in the wrong way.
Sorry this ended up being so long. Wasn't intended when I started writing, but it just ended up taking that many words to express my feelings. Once again, this is just speculation from my experience as host; and it is certainly not meant to be derogatory in any way. The game as a whole looked quite fun, and Draco certainly did a good job hosting.

Re: Round 72: Dragon-Blooded Mafia
Also, the game didn't feel very... Exalted. May have been the lack of story posts...
As I said earlier, We're having the strongest, most powerful faction of the Dragons being subjugated by a minority of Outcastes. Couldn't a simple pedigree check have solved it? I was half tempted to have everyone say their role names just to expose the Mafia (Peleps, Sesus, Cathak, Ragara, Glorious Mountain? Lynch him!).
Also, DB vs DB (rather, Exalted in general even) doesn't lend itself well to the Mafia themetype... a nightkill would wreck the room it took place in and wake a few people unless the assassin was very skilled in that art. It also makes almost less sense because the Dynasts would be more likely to have better equipment and training, so a one-on-one kill wouldn't be the best option.
And "random chance to get a new charm"? That's not how charms and experience work... It takes days/weeks of training to learn a single charm anyway...
As I said earlier, We're having the strongest, most powerful faction of the Dragons being subjugated by a minority of Outcastes. Couldn't a simple pedigree check have solved it? I was half tempted to have everyone say their role names just to expose the Mafia (Peleps, Sesus, Cathak, Ragara, Glorious Mountain? Lynch him!).

Re: Round 72: Dragon-Blooded Mafia
I just felt mostly useless as a PI who could be wrong. And I was wrong.
