Just use the search feature and then look up S-U-P-E-R under the profile search. Then click the view users profile button when S-U-P-E-R's account is found and you can see cattank.

I can confirm Mr. Jack has a fiancee, in fact him moving is one reason why he hasn't been on. So welcome Mrs. Jack.

Thanks so much for backing me up  and the warm welcome!! ^_^ Nick always says such nice things about you and everyone else on the forums so I'm very happy I can finally partake in the fun

I've been lurking around these parts on and off for several years ever since planetn2000. I finally decided to open an account because it seems to me that NWR forums are a cut above the rest. I've been a video game (atari 2600 ... empire strikes back baby) and nintendo fan for a long time.

It may seem weird but I feel like know quite a few of the characters from this forum (cause I've been stalking you all) already and I hope to be able to contribute to the discussions.

Carry on.

I waited for you to post more for months. Monthssssss. Now I've given up all hope. I feel so empty and betrayed. But I've finally been able to put you behind me and move on.

I just have to remind myself to not get so attached to new forum posters. It shouldn't be that hard though. I mean, it's not like this forum will suddenly be flooded by new posters. After all, everyone has a forum they like to go to and post and they just stay there. It's not like thousands of forum goers from one forum would spontaneously leave that forum and start going to new ones, right?

Double Update Posting

Finally, in the case of double updates, write out your first prediction and then specify that if there is a second prediction, this is your guess. However, the snag of double predictions is this. If there is only one update that day and your first prediction is incorrect but your prediction for the second update is the correct update, it doesn't count. The double update prediction isn't a two for one guess. I'll illustrate if you are confused.

Example:

Sep. 14/2007 Prediction

Music Update
Star Fox Music
Venom theme

2nd Update
New Character
Captain Falcon
Bounty hunter who punches fast

In the case of Sep. 14, there was only one update. The Ice Climbers. Therefore, the second update guess does not comply since there is only one update. Yes, the second guess was a character reveal but since that was the second guess and not the primary guess, it does not count.

Now let's say there had been two updates. The Ice Climbers and Kirby's Final Smash. Even though the primary guess is wrong, since there are two updates, the second update is allowed and it gets two points because of the Ice Climber update. So, I hope this gets everybody clear on how I keep track of points and award them.


Finally, there is not rule for how you phrase your prediction. You can do it like PartyBear, keep it general like Mashiro or you can follow what I've been doing. It's up to you.

Yes, I'm doubling posting. This way, it looks like less to read. Here's how scoring works.

You get two points for a general guess. I.e. what section will be updated. Those general sections are:

Character Profile
Character Move/Action
How to Play
Game Modes
Stages
Items
Music
Notices


After that, there is the specific guess. Elaborate further on what is going to be updated in that section. Specific guesses would be for:

Character Profile - Name of character
Character Move/Action - Name of character and what moveset - Final smash, special moves, regular moves.
How To Play - What technique, rule or lesson would be given
Game Modes - Single Player, Custom, Classic, Sticker, Trophy, Multiplayer, etc.
Stages - What the stage name is and what franchise it represents or game. Delfino Plaza from Super Mario Sunshine. Smashville from Animal Crossing.
Items - What type of item - smash item, assist trophy or pokeball and the item or character it would be. I.E. Smash Item - Ray Gun. Assist Trophy - Toad. Pokeball - Psyduck.
Music - The franchise that will be represented by the music. I.E. Animal Crossing Music. Star Fox music.
Notices - What the notice will be. Announcement. Video. Audio. I'm just throwing it in for the heck of it.


Of course, extra bonus points of 6 could be awarded to people who are even more daring in their prediction. I.E., correctly guessing which composer was responsible for arranging the music, predicting a feature of a stage like Bridge of Eldin collapsing, Nintendogs assist trophy blocks screen, etc.

In some case, half points may be given. I.E. chose the right franchise or character for stage but not the game it came from, choose pokeball but not the right pokemon, choose the right character but not the right move update.

Alright, it's been about two weeks since I updated the leaderboard. My apologies. However, I have gone back in this thread fromthe last time updated and scoured it and awarded points accordingly. Let's see where we stand:

Mashiro - 14
UERD - 8
Khushrenada - 6
Louieturkey - 6
Stevey - 6
Anubis6789 - 4
Sessha - 4
Spak-Spang - 4
TVMan - 4
Bill Aurion - 2
Golden Phoenix - 2
Luigi Dude - 2
PartyBear - 2
Smash_Brother - 2

I know. Mashiro seems to be running away with the game. Concerning Louieturkey, I gave him 6 points because he predicted a music update and technically there were 3 music updates that Friday. Normally I mention why people were awrded points but due to the length of the last update, I have decided to forget about it this time. If you have any questions about how your points you can pm me at anytime. And unlike Spak, I did award a lot of two points for all those who guessed a new character update for last Friday.


I noticed some people could have had points awarded if they had at least provided the genreal guess with the specific guess. For instance, on Friday, Luigi Dude just guessed Captain Falcon. If he had just put new character reveal and then Falcon, he would have had two points. At the same time, I noticed Bill and Spak encouraging people to be more specific with their guesses. So, to help everyone understand how I award scoring, here is my rule list. Just in case you forgot.

Sep 14, 2007 Prediction:

(General) Character Reveal
(Specific) Captain Falcon
(SuperSpecific) Falcon's a racer who punches really fast

Luigi Dude and I just seem to share this love for the Captain. We know the only way Smash Bros will start to pick up any hype is when the Falcon's mug is attached to the game. Make it happen.

If there is a second update, I say more love for the Captain.
 
(General) Character Move/Action
(Specific) Captain Falcon - Special Moves
(SuperSpecific) He still likes to Falcon Punch!

NWR Forums Discord / RE:Mafia XVIII: Super Smash Bros. Brawfia! Day 12-"where the aspirin??"

« on: September 12, 2007, 02:00:12 PM »

Ok, I don't know if this is a joke or not. But this is what a sent the townies before I died.


Here's the latest list I've sent out for the alliance.

Nuclearspeed
S-U-P-E-R
UERD
Spak-Spang

Ceric = Jesus
TVMan = Townie
Darkheart = Townie
Patchkid15 = Cop
ShyGuy = Suicide Bomber
Mashiro = Bro
Wandering = Townie (Village Idiot?)
Khushrenada = Whore

Thanks to Patchkid, I just found Jesus. It's Ceric. The godfather is not S-U-P-E-R since the last time S-U-P-E-R logged on was Sunday. It appears the mafia whore only blocks a vote. Reading what stevey said, it was only whore 3 that had the change applied to it whcih limited the amount of times it could be used on a person. So, if that's the case, then Nuclearpseed is not the Godfather. This brings us to two suspects.

Spak-Spang
UERD

It's most likely Spak. But I would rather vote out UERD before Spak. I think the key tonight is to block Spak's action. That way, the cop can still investigate the others and see if they are mafia. If the role gets switched around, then the new godfather will most likely show up as a townie. If so, investigating won't help us. We need the godfather position to stay in one place.

So, let's vote out UERD. That'll teach him for not participating.


So, I just want to let Spak know that everyone already knew he was the godfather before I started complaining to stevey. Going by the list, there is only one role we don't know about. S-U-P-E-R. I don't know if Stevey justs wants us to kill him or not but that's the only blank left.

Vote S-U-P-E-R


EDIT: I just realized. Stevey could be the last mafia member. Considering how the game has gone, that's entirely possible. Shyguy's comment about the heroine of time and the jumping of days make that look like the case. I say we engineer a tie between stevey and S-U-P-E-R.

Ha ha ha. That's like the exact same thing I said to stevey in my pm when I learned he went by a time system. Here is part of what I sent.

A time based system is one of the worst systems you can have. People on these forums all live in different parts of the world and so time varies for everyone. Not to mention other factors like work. Second, just because you say send me your action early, doesn't mean everyone realizes that you go by a time system. I've never known another host to do that. I just assumed it's because you wanted all the actions in by the close of the day so you could post the next day right away. And you still can't deny the fact that you have been changing up the roles and rules in this game. I pointed out a couple. There was the amalgamation of the mafias as another example. It's just seemed like stuff is getting made up on the spot.

Had I known that these orders were dependant on time, I would have made sure to send in every order at the start of each day. But like I said, I assumed you just wanted them in so you could have the night actions done and start the next day fast.

That's another problem. Not only did you change roles, you never told people all the info they needed to use their roles. I didn't know about this time rule until just now. You don't think that might have been helpful for some people? That's why people aren't happy with your game. You didn't give out the info people needed to even play it. And the info you did give out, you changed some of it.  



In fact, I've was talking with the current godfather and he didn't realize that the actions were dependent on a time system also. Nobody knew this. One of the most crucial aspects of the game and nobody knew this. It's easy to say this game was set on hard but there's a difference between making a game hard or just using that as cover to hide the faults of the game.

After the last 2 mafia everyone was getting a little too good at mafia so for this game I trying to make it a Mafia game on hard mode! were you want to win you have to try not be lazy and quiet, keep up with everything, think about why stuff happen with clues, who behead who, what kind of roles are there, ect

This is the ironic thing alright. The last two games were won because some people stepped up and played hard by not being lazy or quiet, keeping up with events, deducing who is who by roles left and the way people have played and this resulted in stunning victories. This game, I laid low and kept to myself and just used my ability. The result? I lived longer than when my role was revealed and I became the townie leader. Now I am dead and the hard work that I did will go on to be rewarded to the those who did the exact opposite of what you wanted. If I'm mafia, who am I going to kill? Someone not participating and not voting or someone who is active everyday? Hmmm. Which would be the bigger threat?

And that's another problem. You wanted the game to be extra hard by not giving out roles but for all we know, S-U-P-E-R and UERD could have some sort of role since you won't kill them off. You added all these other rules, why not a rule about killing off those not participating? Then when I finally think the game is set and I can get rid of these non-players, I find out a new rule about my role, the time the action has to be sent, and I get screwed over for it. There's no justice. That's what I don't like.

The good news.

I have a solution for our mafia woes. I'm hosting the next game. It's going to be a fast turn around. About a week and a half after the last day of this game, I want to be starting my day one. After this farce and even the fast last two, we need a good host to set up and run a good fair balanced game. We need to bring respectability back before people stop playing because the game's start leaving people with bad feelings.

I know I spoke with thatguy about hosting a game together but this is not that game. I know he probably still wants to do that but I think it best if we save that for the 20th edition of mafia. For the next game, mafia 19, I'm going to host that one by myself and I'm going to really skim this thing down to basics. Only roles that work. Nothing new. This one will be decided by the players not lucky roles. The theme has been chosen, the story ready to go. This will be a game designed to get people enthusaistic about mafia games again. A game where everyone has a chance and no one should feel safe. A game where you will have to be on your toes the whole time. There will even be a story this time for each day. Remember stories? All roles will be known. People will know and understand the rules. Yes, much like Casino Royale regained respect for the Bond franchise, Mafia 19 will gain regain respect for the franchise after Mafia 18.

To stevey. As I said before and even said in my letter, I understand the early changes and I even understand now why you posted my role. But you still haven't addressed my biggest issue. But I know why. You can't post anythink with out spoiling what is happening in the game.

But there's another issue. And that is the lack of knowledge about people's roles. Stabby had questions about his role, Zach just found out he could bring himslef back, I thought the godfather role could switch on a whim by the players and so I adjusted my strategy and played according to that. No one knew it was a one time thing and with Vudu being killed, you could have said it was a one time thing. So, I'm playing under the assumption the mafia has some other power. People didn't understand how you were counting the actions (or the rule you used to determine them) thatguy and I both found out when it was too late and we were dead. Even the current godfather didn't know how you counted actions. I know you made this mafia game to reveal roles while the game was playing or so I assume, (I really don't know for sure) but there comes a point when the lack of information provided just becomes rediculous and hampers the game. What was even worse was the fact that we had like 3 new players and a couple others who had only played one game before. These people need help. They are still learning the game. Then with this lack of info, they lose interest in it.


Vudu's right. I was lucky with my blocks against him. I'll admit it. The sad thing is, I was looking for the mafia so that I could sell my power to them. I knew I would be a threat to the mafia and they would want to kill me so in exchange for my life, I would use my power to their benefit. If that had happened, the game might not have been so overpowered against the mafia. But then again, I look at this game funny. I don't always view it as black and white. I have this role so I must play with these people and shun these people. I'm always willing to take a chance and play things differently even if it seems illogical. Still, Vudu gave himself away regardless of what he says. The fact that he was the godfather was the only lucky thing about it.
