Cassandra has been triggered. Cassandra will be messaged with separate instructions. Cassandra will only be allowed to speak truth this round.

Hahaha. It's not surprising that I'm the one who did the triggering.

What was the trigger?

@ChebyshevII PE are you mafia?

 

[Booo]

What was the trigger?

Probably 2 votes for same person in succession.

 

[JayKay PE]

The trigger will be revealed at end of game.

@MeowMeow, @CivilPE2022 and @Lariliss

Votes probably won't seem to have any rhyme or reason for a while. It's because they don't. The first couple of days tend to be super random. Later people will start to speculate on patterns and theories.

Hang in there. And feel free to jump into the conversation, whether it's about the game or not.

Nope. I'm just naturally abrasive.

Also, don't vote for me...unless you're mafia.

I thought the formula for number of mafia was number of players / 4 and rounded DOWN to a whole number. That's what I used when I was mod.

For small n-players that formula works too.

Our rounds have been between 9-18* players, with the vast majority being around 12-14, so n/4 or ~sqrt is roughly the same.

*Or something like that. The Dec 2020 mega round, which JK also modded was the record holder. It was also my favorite round to play.

Is this different? I normally only skim the rules because we've all played so much. But @JayKay PE made me actually read them this time. I thought cop investigations happened during the day.

Whoops! No, you were right. I did a copy+paste and might have pulled this from when we had multiple investigators/doctors. I will be editing/changing that

Standard mafia rules, and the rules we played for the first few months, had the investigations at night. I was the first mod to change it to a daytime investigation; and I'm pretty sure I changed the master rules when I did it.

I made the change to ease and increase game participation. I'm not aware if anyone else plays that way.

So we aren't told who Cassandra is? So like, Cassandra could tell us the information that they HAVE to tell us (for example, they'd say "so-and-so is mafia" because they have to tell us. but then we might be like "pshhh whatever" and choose to not believe them because we don't know they're Cassandra and we assume they are just BSing?

Right.....what I'm asking is, do we KNOW who the Cassandra is? If not, then they could share the information, but we don't know if it's the truth, because we don't know they're the Cassandra... Just because they MUST share their information, doesn't mean they MUST tell us they're Cassandra...right?

That's the way I read it. It doesn't say that they have to write a singular post that only says [player] is [alignment].
@JayKay PE explained in a previous round that it could be "hidden" in a more general post during the day. As an example, many players will post their reads on other players in the thread. So the information they are required to reveal could be hidden in a bunch of "packing peanuts" of similar style information about other players in the round. If done well the collective public thread may never figure it.

Cassandra has been triggered. Cassandra will be messaged with separate instructions. Cassandra will only be allowed to speak truth this round.

^this of course adds a new wrinkle. Would this mean that the Cassandra is incapable of speaking falsehoods in the thread? Or they can only say what they are instructed to say and nothing else?

The way I read the role is:

We don't know who the Cassandra is. They must tell us publicly whatever truth is revealed to them tonight (if they live through the night). They are not required to tell us their role.

So if we asked Cassandra IF they are Cassandra....then would they be able to lie and say no? Or would they have to say yes?
