2DS, New 3DS XL or used original 3DS?

Either way my game suggestions are any of the Zelda games (Ocarina remake, Majora's remake (best choice), link between worlds), Fire Emblem: Awakening, Phoenix Wright: Duel Destinies, Mario Kart 7, and the game that singlehandedly convinced me to buy a 3DS, Super Mario 3D Land.

You can trust me, Opop, I'm the former OP of the Games 3DS thread. I'm a professional.

I think it's the old XL. I got the sweet Zelda version off a guy on facebook. Also a bunch of games, including Majora which I will defintiely play first as it's a favorite

Have fun with Keeper, followed by finding Mega!

I just burned through all my leftover Eden tokens until I started with Mega! and then got it twice going through 45ish tokens (zero Sworn Protectors though, I had to sharp plug + D6 cheese an angel room for it). I still haven't seen Mega spawn in a Devil Room.

That's a regular 3DS, but deffo a cool one.

Phoenix Wright is download only, so if you're gonna take a trip to the eShop I'd definitely go for it!

Unless you don't like anime. Do you like anime, Opopanax?

I cheesed Krampus by killing him repeatedly as Isaac with the D6, and then rerolling approximately 35 empty Krampus Heads to get Mega.

Sworn Protector came up via Chaos/Blank Card/2 of Diamonds for Greed Mode.

but they don't need to know that before the flip

I'm nice to my players and don't like to spring that kind of surprise on them.

It's also why I say that scum have fake flavourclaims, but not fakeclaims.

People shouldn't have to consider the mod and what inclinations they may have when they are playing the game.

That whole conversation we all had about who likes and hates cops was ultimately bad, since now I try to think about that in games.

I think you are way overthinking this, many games have existed without a night 0 flip going back to the begining of mafia, and I don't think its ever caused anyone any issues. People don't need that much coddling.

I think providing the vanilla win condition is important so that claiming that cannot be used to confirm someone as town but providing an example flip doesn't solve any problem with that regard. Flips should be clear enough on their own that they do not need an example to compare to.


Its not neccesary or polite to provide a N0 example flip, it is just a thing, mostly for flavor: the motivation for why we are now killing each other essentially.

Flips are clear, but I think there's enough variation in style that it's nice to know in advance how much information you're going to get from a flip.

If your flips are providing more than "This person died and they were this" that's probably not a good setup

I'm thinking more of examples where you get less information.

I think it was CS:GO where you didn't get anything that told you what their role was, and it ended up being a big problem cause you couldn't confirm anything even after someone died.

Epsilon, did I read that you are playing Netrunner? That is neat, we should play on Jinteki.net sometime.

I'm really lovely but I really like it. Some friends and I occasionally play through Tabletop Simulator; I'd rather switch over to Jinteki but one of my friends says it's not so great (easy to misclick and bone yourself). If you add me on Steam or AIM or something we might be able to arrange times.

Fun fact: I have taught five people to play Netrunner, and each time I've hosed up the rule where the corp pays for each piece of ICE on the server when installing ICE, only realizing my mistake when I have like 12 ICE on the table and 20-odd credits. I am a dummy.

there should be a huge crowd of spectators and that they should
greet me with howls of execration.

Again like I said n0 deaths are completely unnecessary
The purpose of the N0 flip is to provide a narrative moral justification for a community of otherwise peaceful people to start lynching dudes in collective self-defense.

and yeah I point that out in one of my posts, its a flavor thing. In reality though its a mafia game, we know why we are in the game. Lack of a N0 flip doesn't affect the actual game at all, it only helps to make the story of the game make sense. I know some people love their flavor and all but really the flavor has no affect on the game itself, some people just enjoy flavorful games more than others, and some people are indifferent to the flavor and just play the game for what it is
