The Mansion Mafia - Hold on tightly to your secrets
- Thread starter Brazil
- Start date
I'm not familiar with the bastard game terminology. How would a glass room make it a bastard game?
wouldn't backs to the wall mean that if scum is on the other side of it then town can't see what they are doing? now i don't know how that translates to a mechanic, but "backs to the wall" sounds worse to me
Town can't really see what Scum is doing anyway, can they? "Backs to the wall" feels like something that just implies pressure. It's a very neutral kind of phrasing.
I'm looking up bastard games and yeah i can see your point.
But then again Grizzly said MafiEra wasn't bastard either :/
We were discussing town being on the other side of the wall in that scenario.
no, but, we can, for instance, see who they killed. maybe backs to the wall implies a janitor mechanic in that room or something. The wall being glass is what differentiates it from a normal wall. You can't look through a normal wall, but glass implies there's something to see, and if your back is to it, you obviously can't see through it.
No idea what any of that means, just that "backs to the wall" sounds like a more negative implication than "sees across"
The last bastard game I was in had pretty much everything be a lie. We were told earlier the game is being played straight by the mods, so I'm not sure we should be expecting a secret room they told no one about.
The implication of seeing through' the glass wall certainly sounds more like a positive, but its hard to judge what the 'back against the glass wall' would imply
maybe something separate, like votes not being public for a day?
I say we go for all the punish rooms first.
Later in the game they could turn the tables almost irreversibly. They wouldn't have the same impact so early in the game.

there's also this, as its been pointed out earlier
the statue is 'reading out' the room descriptions, but the base reads that the statue is the 'personification of deceit'
i don't think that means each description is a lie, but it could just mean things might not be exactly what we expect with the descriptions

Right, it's why I asked early on. There's probably a catch with each of the rooms that we won't like.
at the same time, i really don;t expect every room to have something negative happening
Room descriptions aren't being said by the statute... it's from loudspeakers on the wall.
Still, I wouldn't completely trust the descriptions, given the prominence of the statue.
maybe its just me, but it feels implied that while its coming from a speaker, the voice is meant to represent 'Apate' giving the hints
Well, if the statue is in the entrance hall and it's pointing "invitingly" to the front door, isn't she telling us to leave the mansion?
Or is the entrance hall typically outside a house?
Sorry... never been in a mansion before.

What really fucks you up is double posting in non-game threads afterwards.
*gasp*
All of us upstanding guests have surely been in a mansion before! You must be scum.

ooo, I hope there are puppies!
The Entrance Hall is where the magic happens.
In fairness there was talk of eating me. So...
Bronson only has that awful avatar of nightmares and Brazil is modding and can't hurt me again.
Feels like we're going above and beyond the call of flavor speculation. How about we see how the mechanic actually works?
I would be inclined to think that the colors reflect an actual room in a mansion.
Green would be a kitchen, more likely.
White is the entrance hall, as we already know.
Pink could be a nursery (my brother painted his nursery an ugly pink so that comes to mind).

wheres the drawback in speculating about mechanics before we test them
Puppies are guaranteed!
And i'm moving for now.
MOVE: Orange Room
I feel like testing that whole sister rooms theory might be worth it over just getting rid of something that looks kinda inocuous for now.

The vote tool wasn't able to register this vote because of the missing "*". Febe made it so it doesn't even show up :P
Please vote again with the * edited in. Thanks :)
Where's the benefit? Just spinning wheels to look busy imo. Some thought is good because we can move, but we're getting far off into bullshit land talking about invisible rooms, speakers, and statues imo.
I mean, have at it but it's a bad look to me
We have to spell everyone's names correctly now? Down with the machines.
I retract my previous statement. brazil has found a way to hurt me.
That public shame.
