Truth.

I used to work for the Federal Reserve....gave it away like candy on Halloween!!

Figured that through a combo of my own info and near-ridiculous amounts of time spent reading pen and paper RPG books.

I could be wrong, of course. (Gods know it wouldn't be the first time.) But it sounded reasonable.

The biggest question on everyone's mind has to be: What did you roll for Exceptional Strength?

A set of names appear on screen, giving a provisional team to face the Teslascarab.

2x STR: JMich, RWarehall

2x FIN: McHack, Dedoporno

Never got the chance. Mages don't get to roll percentile dice for the extra strength bonuses.

House rule it! (actually had a guy try that once, of all things)

Some people are embarrassingly full of shit.

(And in case someone reads this and wondering why I'm not going on at length about the team choices, it's because I'd rather talk with someone else about D&D than talk to myself about a game that hinges on other people.)

Well, he had the thought of dual classing from Mage to Fighter as a character concept, so he wanted to be able to roll percentile strength in advance (not to be used until he switched to Fighter). It sort of, almost, make sense. I forget what his character concept was, but, again, it sort of made sense.

Weekends are usually pretty slow for Mafia games. Especially, Saturdays.

Well, if by interesting you me obvious, then yes. These are very safe choices for the person doing the choosing, since they all volunteered. In fact, haven't they just been chosen in a "first come, first serve" manner for each category? (I'll have to double check that)

Some may be scum, but I doubt sabotage would be attempted this early. Should be fun to see how QuadrAlien runs it, though. :)

I'm around, catching up, probably won't be on too much today.

I've been thinking about the crisis situation, and the one real conclusion I've come to is that probably nobody cares what I think. :)

Since I see the team has already been provisionally picked, I guess we just let the chips fall where they may and try to figure it all out at the end.

EBWOP

I was wrong about it being "first come, first serve". The order of volunteers was:

JMich
trentonlf
drealmer7
deoporno
RWarehall
mchack

It seems both trentonlf and drealmer7 were passed by.

I am not going to analyze this further, as I think it can only hurt town at this point.

Trent, agent, crew, JMich, maybe others, but I think that's it.

Some of them said their totals are lower than your single stat, so your question here is a bit twisted. Anyway, my point was that because of what these people said pretty much everyone knows what is the more realistic probable total of all stats. I can't know for sure that scum didn't already know this and share the same properties with us, but I don't exclude the possibility of them having different stats or totals. That was one potential way to catch scum lying - by claiming stats that don't seem consistent to actual crew members.

Take HijacK for example. Out of everyone who said anything about your claim he was the only one who didn't feel that far from you to state it. He even said he will think about it despite his penalty, even though you sound like the way better suited candidate. So, if he was scum and others before him didn't share their surprise by your claim this may have been seen as a tell. Now it's just speculation :)



On the other hand this I totally agree with (If you like BSG and haven't tried Dark Moon - I strongly suggest it). I'm pretty sure we won't fail the first crisis by scum intent if we fail it at all. That means that if we succeed none of us who took part should get more credibility because of it.


NOTE: Initial try to post this via the quick rely failed. I waited few minutes and my post didn't appear, so I'm posting in the normal gog way.

My initial try at my EBWOP post failed out as well, while using the default GOG way. I didn't have the guts to try again (for fear of double post) until I saw yogsloth's post. It was probably just another example of a GOG Forum hiccup.

Also, apologies for typoing your name, "deoporno", in the EBWOP post. ;)

Quite the opposite, we do care what you think. We will most likely ignore it, but that is a different case ;)
