Mafia Game Threads / Re: M113: sufjan stevens (day 3)

« on: March 05, 2018, 02:56:33 pm »

I, vaguely aware that other things are happening, henceforth layout the plans a for mass claim, in which the only options are to claim pr or vt. For anyone that has made softclaims of any sort in this regard, (most of us!) this should just be as simple as stating explicitly what was already said implicitly.

The order for this should be ~as follows:

1. Robz
2. LaLight
3. iguana
4. mcmc
5. faust

After this point, the two that have made proper PR claims (PPS, TWM) remain, as well as myself and Cuzz, of which order should be irrelevant.

PPE: 9

I am immensely opposed to the mass claim. I do not see what it does to help town.

Helping Process of Elimination is a big one, along with making people actually responsible for their pseudoclaims are the big reasons I want to do this

PPE: 5, cuzz and reactions

PPE: 1. The amount that this should be discussed is...not until the claims actually happen. the more that I have to talk about, the less effective it'll be, but it definitely should still be done over not

We should definitely massclaim before our lynch today. All the hidden information from scum in the world won't help us if it's lylo tomorrow

Nobody finds it odd that the one mostly claimed PR is pressured to full claim and has the wagon while the other claimants remain silent with no pressure and no votes?

That is very odd. I'd like to discuss this after claims happen

I'm still not swayed by the idea that simply VT/PR claims won't help out immensely

Hate to beat a dead horse, but ALL LaLight is definitely scummy for being on both wagons, and being an alternative wagon D2 that didn't get any real traction. I know I haven't argued for my scum read on him very eloquently,  and I believe that is why not all town have been convinced and scum doesn't feel pressured to bus. 

But today the evidence should be stronger than ever.

For clarity because it definitely took me far longer than I would have liked to figure out who you meant

I think looking for another term is kind of missing the point.

Imho, the whole thread is missing the point since page 2.

Well, that depends. Does anyone know what the point of this thread was in the first place?

That's easy! The point is that boons are good.

We should have a PR/VT massclaim. As much fun as it is making and hearing softclaims all day, I fear they're only helping scum and harm town at this point. I think we'll be earning some very good POE by doing so.

No that's just worse than a full massclaim, and we shouldn't do a full massclaim either.

It's hiding behind vagueness like this that allows scum to not be confronted , while also not providing town with the resources that can be used for good scumhunting

Yo Lalight, mcmcs, y'all got anything to say?
Yo Robz, you got anything of substance to say?
Cuzz, anything else you've got for input?

I think the "A is a better B" construction is great. Simple, concise, carries the connotation that A does everything B does, but also does something more, which is probably what you are trying to convey most of the time you are using this type of comparison.

Hunting Party is a better Lab, but does not do everything Lab does plus extra.

Ah, but the same folks who want to call Worker's Village strictly better than Village wouldn't dare call Hunting Party strictly better than Laboratory

I have an M setup I can do, a modified (read: improved) popcorn mafia setup. I'd need a day or so to think up flavor and do a proper writeup for it.

Yo big apologies for not bein' able to speak near the end of yesterday
My thought words would have been something along the lines of
"The datwsan lynch I'm..fine with, but I fear they may be town. Beyond their own actions, I find it extremely unlikely that, (still under the assumption that every claimed pr is "confirmed" town) there are no scum of [Lalight, Robz, Cuzz]. I think I'd prefer a lalight lynch, but I'm not sure how much I trust [iguana, faust]"
In retrospect, I should have contributed to pushing lalight, if for no other reason than "not 'probably town'"

[wrong things]

I guess that mathematically means I should give you a townread then?

I think I agree with you? Assuming I understand the things you're saying and you're saying what I'd like you to be

vote: PPS

@iguana, thoughts of a massclaim are reasonable, but what say you to faust's response?

Reveal all of the Boons. Choose one of them.

This is (almost) strictly better than Copper, as you can just choose The Field’s Gift.

It's almost strictly better than Copper, but since you never receive the Boon you choose, it's not quite as good.

TWM, important question: did you get a result last night?

Datswan, you are not helping yourself, here.

Yo! Some thoughts so far. I had more thoughts than these, but organizing everything proved difficult (not to mention the type of work I'm procrastinating to do this now!) As such I just brought out thoughts on players that I feel are worth considering today tm. I'm definitely less of an analytical player than teproc, so am, for now, defaulting to some of his expertise.

Those alive that are alive, haven't claimed a PR and haven't been confirmed as town by a claimed PR:
2. DatSwan: one of my early 3 scumreads, but I suspect the majority of that is just annoyance from typing quirks. Provided good role analysis, which...I don't know if is alignment indicative
3. faust: one of my early 3 scumreads, mostly because I was swayed by PPS's argument at the "start" of today. Of this I know: still good at mafia
5. mcmcsalot: Teproc really trusted, has analysis I generally agreed with
10. Cuzz: we have a claimed PR claim on Cuzz having done...nothing. Which means... I need to remember more math on that actually indicates
13. LaLight: I have literally 0 information on. Need to reread
1. Robz888: On my first readthrough, I very much appreciated the big stop on further PR claims. Currently/next wondered if such fervor was necessary or even wanted considering the amount of information already out there and not explicitly named (with the exception of exactly datswan I think?)

PPR: 1

Hey everyone! Thanks for the warm (re)welcome!

Gonna take some time to give the whole thread a proper proper reading, although I already have some thoughts on things that I'll be posting mid-through-before that

In the trash are six Estates and one Copper.

What is the card most likely to be present in the kingdom?

I have my own answer but there could always be a better one.

Actually, the answer is Pixie.

No I don’t think it’s that one.

I can't tell you *most likely*, but my mind goes to Masquerade.

Citadels is a drafting game. The idea of taking the entire "point" of game A and adding it to game B, does not make an A style variant of B, it means you're playing games A and B at once.

It is necessary that I announce "My buy phase starts now." Why?

Crown and hand full of Treasures.

It's not really necessary then: It will be obvious that you started our buy phase. Otherwise it would also be necessar to say it before you play your first Copper.

But I may want to play it as an action (Peddler)

You cannot "play it as an Action". It always is an action, regardless of whether you played it in your buy phase or your action phase,and it will always count for Peddler.

Crown, Champion, Diadem?

Sorry, hangup was on me.

Yes, I was the drunk.

So I stole your role

Mail-mi I stole it after his turn or before? If I'm Robber, am I drunk or {new_role}?

Turn order was Robber followed by Drunk. You're confirmed town here, holding the Drunk card, I'm what I picked up from the center, albeit probably town
