Why do I have a strong feeling that the game is solved?..
I don't know. I guess it could be, but I have a hard time believing it is really this easy, although I guess gkrieg solved a 12 person game after N1 recently, so maybe we got it.
vote: CalamitasI'm sure this is a product of an overworked brain thinking too much on too little sleep, but I want to share it anyway so I can remember to think about it later when I've slept. Consider this (admittedly slim) possibility:
LL is scum and is driving a Calamitas and IDPTG scum team. One of the two is town, the other is LL's partner. They push a lynch on the town person, thereby looking scummy. If they turn around and get lynched, remaining town might view the other one as an IC, making it easier for that person to survive and win on their own. Even if the scum partner is the one that is lynched, it would put the other person in a tough spot and make lynching them fairly probable I'd say. Even with that result, LL will have town points for the one lynched scum, and then if there are no PR influences on the number of NKs, LL would have a 2v1 with town facing possible LYLO, again depending on PR presence.
I know the above scenario is probably way too convoluted to actually be true, but I wanted to share it as an example of what my brain can come up with in mafia after 2 a.m... Who knows. Maybe there is something to it. I'll read this after I've slept more than 4 hours in a night.
PPE 1: Oh that's what you meant by "edit conflicted" in your post where you explained why you were off, Joseph. For some reason I didn't get what that phrase meant.
