Space Western Mafia
You walk off the spaceship and there's a whirr of activity around you. The settlement has been set up and it's time to get working, but if it was only that simple. DINC (Dysprosium INC) a company specializing in the extraction of highly precious and sought after rare earth elements may own and operate the settlement but it's not the only presence here. There is the rival SAMCO (Samarium Corporation) who must have sent some spies to undermine DINC's progress. There's also the native ALIENS that don't want you destroying their planet and all that hippy junk. Your goal while you are on Daytidra is to make as much money as possible. Each DOLLAR (DINC Operational Lanthanum Living And Remuneration Stipulation) is worth several billion earth dollars on the Lanthanum market, so even getting 1 of them back home would give you a life of luxary. But there's only 4 tickets home before the spring comes and most of the dangerous life is in hibernation. Only the richest will leave and the others will likely die from animal attacks. The game is on.

So it looks like we have three options: we try to collude with a village leader, try to take out the mafia, and then just see who has the most money at the end, we just form alliances and hope things work out, or we do some combination of the two. I think that we're probably gonna want to do something closer to the first one, as we're probably fighting an uphill battle without some sort of cooperation. If we're going to do the village leadership thing, I think that I'm an ok candidate. Not gonna be clamoring for claims yet, as I don't have the time to do so because of this stupid hurricane that's supposed to hit in a few hours, and I don't think people are going to be so willing to work with someone if they can just end up losing if the village leader decided for them to buy some items or something. But do note that I have never lost as a village leader (except if you count handicapable where I was neutral) and am probably better than most of the people on this players list. Still, we need to give this some thought and we need people to discuss what they think we should do so that we can make a decision and work with it. |
No one's stupid enough to claim to you before the game's even started. You can gain our trust and then try and lead, fine, but trying to sell yourself as village leader - someone who will lead us to victory, first post is a bad tactic and you should feel bad.

He usually does that.
hf to all. |
You clearly didn't see how I bullied claims out of the town (and the mafia) in the last game that I won. First post and taking charge works. But this game, it's a lot less likely people are just gonna claim to me, and bullying might just lead to people being assholes and hurting the village as a whole and feeling justified in doing so. And I'm not the martyr this game. So I don't get to be like "lol can't doubt the martyr bro"
So I want a discussion in here on what we're actually going to do. At the end of the day, we're gonna need to kill the mafia to win, and the best way we've done that before is with a village leader. However, is a village leader the best way to ensure that individuals will win? And what sort of cooperation can a village leader expect? Already shared my inclination on some sort of village leader being beneficial, and I'm probably the most qualified to lead. But if we want shit done N0, I can't do it. So you all actually have to do something for once and think about how we're going to win this game. I have a couple ideas about this game already. Here's the question I think needs to be asked: What solution best assures cooperation and collective action to eliminating the mafia, while assuring the highest likelihood of a personal victory in the eyes of the actors? Possible solutions: 1. For items, have a lot of people pitch in 1 or 2 dollars and pass them to one person, then have said person purchase the item/action from the store. Don't think we can do this n0. Problems: If even one mafia is in that chain of knowledge, they can hook the item buy, steal the item bought, steal the money involved, etc. Since information about who is getting money is really spread out, it makes our night actions super vulnerable. Also difficult to see who did not pass the dollar, unless a person coordinating it was trying to be tricky and only had that one person pass a dollar. Benefits: Although it makes it vulnerable, it has the highest likelihood of collective action, as the sacrifice made by an individual is minimal. 2. Rotate who has to buy items and whatnot. Problems: Not reason why someone could just refuse to buy their item on their turn. Town then couldn't turn on a townie that did this because then we'd be wasting a lynch on someone we aren't sure is mafia. Benefits: Least likely for the mafia to interfere, forces mafia when it is their turn into a gambit of using their money for the sake of the town (although they could lie about results or something) or risking pissing off whomever is trying to make stuff work. |
So as you can see, both of those solutions sort of suck. They are pretty public ways of doing things, though, and wouldn't require a village leader. However, a village leader would make it so that things are more coordinated and so that the village isn't doing anything redundant or stupid (or too public)
We could just break off into groups and collab that way, as Itchni already suggested. I'm not sure how that would turn out though. To me it seems like that's a good way to get things going in terms of actions, but makes it pretty easy for redundancy, lack of accountability, and likelihood of moling. However, it's honestly one of the better ways we could do things, although it does in some ways weaken the village by separating it. Then again, it also weakens the moles...I'm kind of liking the separate groups thing. Don't know how it compares to a village leader though. Someone else start thinking. I need to sleep. |
yay, bickering already!

Obvious course of action is to work together to make sure the mafia don't take any of our money. |
Looking for 3 villagers to form a mini-alliance, PM me on the forums or find ALEXMORGAN13 on irc if interested.

I too am looking for villagers to join my alliance, contact me on irc if interested

Figure someone should start taking down SOME sort of collective information. I'm not going to force you to do certain night actions or whatever (yet) as I imagine none of you are going to be very willing to do anything about your cash monet.
I'll just say my role's somewhat provable, and I'm probably a better village leader than anyone else here. And no one else is doing this shit. If you have a bold word in your role PM like what is in the first post, please tell me what this word is. There is literally 0 harm in divulging this information, unless you think I'm some neutral who wants to kill based on if you are receiving a godly or a meager paycheck. Which would be the dumbest fucking role ever and you all know it. So claim that much to me ty. |
