Still not sure I follow - from what you describe, it's basically everyone for themselves and against everyone else?

Is there a Town and a Mafia? If yes, what's the point?


Isn't this contradicting? Or is there a difference between "getting points" and "scoring points"?

It is every man for himself, though all teammates on a given team will share the same objectives (there are no traitors built into a team). However, most players can't accomplish their objective entirely on their own.

There are two mafia-style teams present in the game, while the townies will each have their own objectives.

I used the terms interchangeably here. If Bler's objective were to steal items from other players, then he would get/score points for stealing the items (independently of anything the items themselves might do). However, he may have a restriction that says he doesn't get points for stealing if he has already stolen from that player. If that is the case, then he would get points for stealing from Adalia once, but he couldn't get more points by stealing from Adalia again later.

I messaged cristi.

Sounds very interesting, but alas, yet again I have to sit out, because time is really short for me at the moment. Well it's just as much as for any of you obviously, but the time I can steal away from "more important" stuff, like family, work etc. for looking at the gog forums is just not enough to play a good game of mafia. (The wife is already cursing the day, I found out about gog ;)

I'll try to follow along as best as I can and hereby request a seat in the dead thread alongside moonshine. Maybe I'll get another bet going ;) And hopefully I can find the time to play again soon.

Also thanks Gogfather for the notification! :D

I'll sign up as an observer.

I gotta keep my options open! :D

Bah! Options are so derivative. ((financial humor, sorry.))

That opinion makes you a real third derivative (I'll see your financial humor and raise you some calculus humor).

Only partially.

I think you're going to integrate real well ;-P

...I read your tagline. I surrender immediately.

Still, only partially. :P

See, it's funnier if you are a psychologist or a philosopher... or maybe it's just me. Sartre would probably see what I am talking about, but he was, of course, walleyed.

Sorry, about that; got off on a tangent.

Awwww... The sequence was just becoming interesting:-P

I tried compounding it.

Nah...

Math itself is funny enough.
I don't know... I think everything on this forum goes to zero eventually.
