Good luck.

Rules for this game

Changes to the usual rule sets are marked in olive.

The Golden Rule:


Please remember that this is a game and your main objective is to have fun!  Be considerate of each other, don’t get personal, and enjoy the game. Please read The Civility Pledge (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=7695.0) before signing up for any mafia game on this site.  If you have not /pledged there, you cannot play. Excessive personal attacks or uncivil behavior may be dealt with by modifiers or modkills.

1. General Gameplay and Etiquette:

1. You may not quote information (either real or fabricated) from any source other than the thread you are posting in. This means no quotes from PMs and no quotes from QTs in the main thread or in another QT. Paraphrasing is acceptable. If you are unsure whether a post is legal, please ask the moderator before posting.
2. There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings.  This also means that out of context quotes are prohibited for all players who signed up for this game as long as it is running. Mafia members may communicate at night and during the confirmation stage.
3. If you have a role with a Night action your choices are due to all mods by the posted deadline.  If we do not receive your PM by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions. In case of multiple submissions, the last valid one before the deadline will be used.
4. Roles with Night actions will not be able to submit an action on Night 0 (i.e. during the confirmation stage).
5. Any player with a Night action may instead submit a “No Action” PM to let the Mods know that you do not want to perform your expected action that Night phase.
6. Mafia members must choose their night kill target in their QT. It is possible for a member of the mafia to hand in orders for their partner. It is not possible for the Mafia to no kill two nights in a row. If this were to happen, the kill target and the kill executioner are decided randomly.
6. As a general rule you should aim for one post every 24 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.

2. Voting, Deadlines, and Player Death:

1. In this game, the Day phase will last 7 days and the Night phase 24 hours.
3. A simple majority (rounded up) of all living members must agree on one person for a lynch to occur prior to deadline.
4. Once you have reached a simple majority no further unvoting will change someone’s fate.  Further votes will also be ignored.
5. Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight; all players including the one who was lynched may continue to post during twilight.
6. If the deadline is hit without a player reaching the majority of votes, there will be no lynch. It is not possible for a no lynch to occur two days in a row. If this were to happen, a random town player will be lynched instead.
7. Please submit votes as: Vote: PlayerName.  Votes will NOT be counted if they are not bold or do not follow this syntax! Obvious abbreviations or nicknames will be counted so long as they are unambiguous.
8. Please submit vote revocations as either Unvote: PlayerName or Unvote. Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
9. You may Vote: No Lynch - a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a lynch. It is not possible for a no lynch to occur two days in a row. If this were to happen, a random town player will be lynched instead.
10. Once you are killed (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post in the game or in Quicktopics. This means that you do not even get a “Bah” post. The dead in this game are silent.
11. If the thread is locked, you may not post.  Threads can be locked for various reasons, but no matter what the reason, you may not post.  The mod may forget to lock the thread, but if they say it is locked, it is still locked.
12. Do not edit or delete posts.  We don't want some players having more information than others.  If you want to clarify posts, feel free to double post. Mods will not edit posts for you.

3. Miscellaneous/Mechanics:

1. Bold, olive text is reserved for the mod.  No invisible/small text is allowed, nor is cryptography.
2. If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM the mod privately.  Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
3. The Mods may make mistakes - please point out any mistakes gently.  Mistakes will be corrected where possible, but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed.  These will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
4. Please bold all requests to the Mods so that they don’t get missed.
5. Prods of missing players will be issued upon request after 24 hours of no activity.  A prodded player has 48 hours to respond or risks replacement.  A player who has been prodded 2 times is subject to replacement under rule 3.10 without further notice.
6. Please do not discuss ongoing games, it can unintentionally affect the other game.
7. Rule violations will be dealt with according to their severity, which may include modkill(s) if needed.
8. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period please post a notice to that effect in the thread.  Treat this game as a commitment.  Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
9. Players who discover they are too busy to play in a game or want to leave the game for civility issues are not allowed to officially /out in the thread.  A request to /out must only be done via a PM to the moderator.  Please do not use this as a manipulation technique.  (Note players may continue to threaten to /out or imply that they might as long as it does not include an official request). Requests to /out are final once submitted. There will be no /outing and then /inning back into the game so make sure that when you /out you have thought it through and really want to do it. Players that can't be replaced will simply be mod-killed. Whether your request to /out will lead to replacement or a modkill is up to the mod's discretion.

Setup information

This a 9-player game. There are 7 Townies and 2 Weeping Angels (this is the alias for the Mafia in this game).

Every night, each Townie may look at any other player. If two Townies target one Weeping Angel, the Weeping Angel is roleblocked that night, and if that player would perform the night kill that night, there will be no kill.

At any time during the game, the Weeping Angel faction may choose to double kill. If they do, they may send in two night kill targets for that night. If none if the living Weeping Angels is looked at even by a single town player that night, both kills will be successful. If any of the Weeping Angels is looked at, both kills will fail.

PMs:

Quote
Welcome to Blink Mafia, [player name]!

You are a Townie! You win when all Weeping Angels have been eliminated.

Every night, you may send in an order parsed Look at: [player name]. If you do, and another player does, the player you're looking at will be stoped from performing the night kill that night.

Please confirm by responding to this PM.

Quote
Welcome to Blink Mafia, [player name]!

You are a Weeping Angel and by your special new technology, you have taken human form. You win when the Weeping Angels control the majority of town, or nothing can stop this from happening.

During the night and during confirmation stage, you may talk to your partner here: [QT link]

Please confirm by responding in your QT.

Do the weeping angels get to do a normal nightkill if they want to?

It looks like they do - normal nightkill needs the 2-town-looking to be stopped, double nightkill just needs 1 town looking at 1 angel to be stopped.  Double kill is high-risk, high-reward play.

As silverspawn stepped out of his house that day, he couldn't possibly expect what was to come. He merely went out to get some food, when suddenly he heard a sort of whooshing, groaning sound, and for a moment, he started wondering if maybe he had played too much Dominion Online and started to go mad: Directly before his eyes, a blue box appeared out of nothing.

Was it real? He needed to find out, and so he approached the box, and tipped the door in front of him, which flung open in an instant. He entered the room behind the door – it was huge, much bigger than the box looked from the outside. Silverspawn felt an urge to run out of the box and walk around it, but the door slammed shut behind him.

He room he was in seemed to be some kind of control center. Everything seemed very futuristic, except for the nine angel statues made of stone that were placed around the circular room. Eight other people were already here, looking at him. Before any of them could utter a word, a hologram appeared in the middle of the room.

"This should be everyone, then?" The voice seemed not to come from speakers, but instead directly from the holgram itself. They were looking at a man in a sack coat, wearing a pair of braces and a bow tie. His head was topped by a red fez.

"I am very sorry to say I have run into some troubles, and I need your help to – well – to save the universe. I'm the Doctor, by the way.

"We do not have much time. Some very dangerous creatures have entered my ship. They are called 'Weeping Angels'. If you see some angel statues around here – that would be them. The Angels feed off potential time energy. This is... some wibbly-wobbly stuff, all you need to know is that if they touch you, they will send you back in time.

"The Angels cannot move when you look at them. So if you want no trouble, keep your eyes fixed on them. They are fast though, faster than you can believe. Blink, and you're dead. So you better don't.

"This ship - the TARDIS – is a time machine, see? It can create enough potential energy to keep the Angles going forever. Give them the TARDIS, and we Angels will overrun the universe. The caused paradoxes when every living being is sent back in time could easily rip apart the fabric of space and time.

"Now to you. I've managed to freeze seven of the nine Angels in this room. Unforunately, the Angels have manipulated the controls of the TARDIS, never allowing more living beings on board than there are Angels... luckily, the TARDIS does not recognize the frozen Angels as living beings. You can be here as long as they are.

"Two among them are still alive though. And they somehow managed to get past their quantum lock and can take human form – the form of their victims. Think about how long you have been in this room, and how long the others have. Some of you may already have been replaced by Angels.

"Here's what I need you to do. The TARDIS teleport device still has some charges. Beam the Angels out of the TARDIS. You need to get all the Angels into this room and hope you pick the right ones. The TARDIS does not have much energy left – you have to teleport one at a time, and there have to be short breaks between the teleports to recharge. I fear I won't be able to make it on my own, so I'm programming the TARDIS to collect qualified humans once I'm gone.

"In the meantime, keep an eye on the statues! You don't want to be lost in the past. Good luck!"

The hologram appeared. "I don't under...", started Hydrad. Then there was a bump, and the lights went out for a split second. When they turned on again, nothing seemed to have changed. Or was that one statue just a little farther left than before?


Day 1 has begun! Thread unlocked!

if maybe he had played too much Dominion Online
unlikely

okay, so I've been thinking about this setup a little when I signed up, and unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to break it. The first idea I had was to assign players publicly to look at people in order to create IC's, but that has several problems

1) even if someone is successfully roleblocked, he might still be scum, and his partner performed the kill.
2) if we assign groups of 2 (3), it doesn't guarantee that the target is roleblocked if there is 1 (2) scum in the group
3) if everyone's night actions are public, it gives scum the opportunity to double kill freely.

Therefore, as long as both scum are still alive, I think we shouldn't make any night actions public, but instead let everyone decide on its own. In later days, we can figure something out with massclaims. I don't think we need to worry about the double kill if we do that, it seems crazy risky. To me, the double kill thing looks like a mechanic meant to specifically counter such a plan.

If one scum dies early though, then it might be worth to reconsider.

I like the idea of everyone deciding who to target each night.

One thing I'm wondering though is if after each night we massclaim who targetted who.

The first night it probably won't do much. But if we get to the last few days there is a chance that gathering all that knowledge might be able to narrow down the pool of who is scum?

I never said breaking a setup is against the spirit of the game. What you're probably referring to is how I said utilizing a mod mistake that was not part of the setup, like in holiday mafia, is against the spirit of the game. Obviously you can make the argument that a flawed setup is also a mod mistake, but I still see an essential difference there.

So, no, I'm perfectly fine with breaking this setup, if you know how. In fact, I think it would be awesome.

The first thing you should do is read the setup. There are no doctors, or jesters, or any conventional PR's in this game. There are just townies and weeping angels, and all townies have the same power, which is looking at someone during the night, as explained in the OP

okay, so I've been thinking about this setup a little when I signed up, and unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to break it. The first idea I had was to assign players publicly to look at people in order to create IC's, but that has several problems

1) even if someone is successfully roleblocked, he might still be scum, and his partner performed the kill.
2) if we assign groups of 2 (3), it doesn't guarantee that the target is roleblocked if there is 1 (2) scum in the group
3) if everyone's night actions are public, it gives scum the opportunity to double kill freely.

Therefore, as long as both scum are still alive, I think we shouldn't make any night actions public, but instead let everyone decide on its own. In later days, we can figure something out with massclaims. I don't think we need to worry about the double kill if we do that, it seems crazy risky. To me, the double kill thing looks like a mechanic meant to specifically counter such a plan.

If one scum dies early though, then it might be worth to reconsider.

thoughts?

What about pairing off?  Isn't scum guaranteed to miss their nightkill unless they get selected together?

Hello. This is my first mafia game post.
Welcome. Vote: Rubby.

Gaah! I claim doctor! Or maybe jester. How do you play this game?

The first thing you should do is read the setup. There are no doctors, or jesters, or any conventional PR's in this game. There are just townies and weeping angels, and all townies have the same power, which is looking at someone during the night, as explained in the OP

oh, and welcome to mafia!

Thanks. I do understand the setup; I was attempting to be hilarious.

Well, I'm sure Faust thought about that.. but, if we ever lynch scum, they can never kill?    So we lynch today, down to 8.  Four groups of two.  If there is two kills, we know one of the group contains both scum, and we'll have six left.  So that's like 1/3 chance of finding scum.  Say groups A,B,C. Lynch again, say from group A,either town or scum.

If town: Scum is in B or C.  SWITCH pairs between those two groups to guarantee no night kill, right?  last member of A just chill.

If scum, everyone just look at other member of A, kill the next day.

What if there is no kill?  Then maybe we just scumhunt as normal?  Not sure what to do when there is an odd number of people.

uhm... not sure I get what you mean. Do you mean creating groups of 2 and have them target each other? that doesn't do much, because you need to be locked at by 2 people to be roleblocked.

That sounds weird.  What I meant, was, if we ever lynch one scum, then we can prevent night kills by doing a cyclic look (p1->p2 -> ... pn ->p1) or pairing off if there is an even number.

I agree with SS about the coordinated night action idea - there doesn't seem to be a viable strategy that's likely to benefit us more than it benefits scum.

Regarding this,

One thing I'm wondering though is if after each night we massclaim who targetted who.

I'm not sure how much a "massclaim after each night" system helps us. I tend to think that just like with roleclaims in more standard setups, claims are something to be considered/discussed as circumstances warrant. Although the difference here is that it's information we wouldn't otherwise get if the person gets nightkilled. Maybe people who are (or think they are) about to be killed should announce their past targets.

Wait I don't get this.  We all have the same role, so this isn't like a massclaim at all.  It makes sense to me to announce who we targeted the previous night.  But we have to realize scum will lie.

Yes, we all have the same role, but my point was that previous-target claiming is in some ways like PR claiming. I did note the key difference, but it's still giving information to scum as much as to us - arguably it's giving more information to scum, because they know who's lying and who's not. I don't dispute that there's a place for previous-target claiming - and we can probably be more liberal with it than we would with PR claiming in a standard setup - but we should maybe consider making it a strategic/tactical thing rather than an automatic mass thing.

So, let's break this down logically. Let's say I'm scum, and everyone claims whom he has targeted. Does this help me in any way?

... I don't see how. Unless someone can explain me how it does, I'd actually say let us claim every day. Of course the order is problematic, because scum wants to claim as late as possible. Maybe we should come up with a way to determine an order efficiently.

Well, the good may well outweigh the bad, but yes, I can construct a scenario where massclaiming helps scum!you:
A double kill occurs. Everyone targetted Rubby. With the massclaim, silverspawn and his partner now know that Rubby is an IC. Without the massclaim, Rubby would still be an IC to every townie, but scum wouldn't know it.

Anyway, I'm open to the possibility that claiming each day turns out to be for the best. It just seems more natural to make that determination each day based on the circumstances, rather than making a decision now for all future days.

From the setup:

At any time during the game, the Weeping Angel faction may choose to double kill. If they do, they may send in two night kill targets for that night. If none if the living Weeping Angels is looked at even by a single town player that night, both kills will be successful. If any of the Weeping Angels is looked at, both kills will fail.

If a double kill happens I think we want to claim even more.

There will be 2 situations.

Scum don't fake target each other.

We just lynch people that havn't been targetted and find scum Hurrah!

1 scum lies and targets his partner and other targets random towny.

Lynch people still out of pool find the scum realize he could of lied about his parter and can lynch him too! Hurrah.

oh and third situation. Scum say they target each other.

Lynch people that target each other! Hurrah.



If a double kill happens I think we will be in good shape.

Post by: Rubby on March 02, 2015, 01:42:47 pm

You could prevent the double kill by doing a circle, but it guarantees you don't roleblock anyone.

That is to say, player 1 on player list targets 2, 2 targets 3, 3 targets 4, etc, wrapping around.

But then you can allow players to deviate to their top scum read at will. Scum is still unlikely to risk double kill while roleblock may occur

Post by: Rubby on March 02, 2015, 05:26:29 pm
We really want our targets to be clustered. As I see it (assuming scum doesn't try a double kill, which it doesn't seem like they should), any night in which no one is looked at more than once is a night in which we get zero value from our power. Even multi-targetting on a townie has way more potential value than guaranteed full single coverage.
Title: Re: M59: Blink Mafia (D1)
Post by: Witherweaver on March 02, 2015, 05:30:04 pm
Well, hey, we can try:

Pair off into groups of two, A, B, C, D

A -> B -> C -> D -> A,

where arrow implies look at one of the people in the group (decide individually based on your own criteria).  Does that provide us any benefit? 

Eh, my instinct is that it's better to not have an organized plan.. the more scum knows about who will look where the better they can decide their night actions.

Title: Re: M59: Blink Mafia (D1)
Post by: Witherweaver on March 02, 2015, 06:02:42 pm
I think no random; I prefer to use reads.  My plan is reads-based, but each player has a restriction.  In the case when {Town,Town}->{Scum, Town} -> {Scum, Town}->{Town, Town}, which would not be that uncommon, scum can guarantee their kill by having the second scum do the kill, since only one town could look at him.

So, yeah, probably bad.

Maybe - and I wasn't saying that full random is the optimal strategy - but the "scummiest read" strategy could get dangerously close to giving our actions away, depending on how forthright we are in sharing our reads (and we don't want to discourage sharing our reads, do we?). Maybe some kind of hybrid.

I mean that's not so different than regular Mafia... normally there is some kind of Doctor, Cop, whatever, and their actions will be influenced by their reads, and those reads may or may not be public information, and people may be aware of how public they're making them.

If you've been lynched often, it makes sense to change your meta no matter your alignment.

That would be sufficient answer if coming from Joseph.

aaand must resist urge to quickhammer.

With no PR to claim, I'm not really sure what our L-1 policy ought to be.  Maybe provide (at minimum) a reads list?

I feel like we're still too early in the Day to have many reads, but that's D1 anyway...

Whoa I started action! see how townie that was?

but ya that raises a good point. In this game if someone gets to L-1 (outside of RVSish stage) its going to be really hard to push it somewhere else as usually a claim or something is how we switch. I'm interested in how this game will work for the voting.

Sorry, I don't mean to be vague.  I agree that it's too early in the Day to be lynching anybody.  I was cracking a joke about quickhammering Egork in part because quickhammers are generally scummy (and I was waiting to see if anybody called me out for suggesting it) and because he's the poor sap at L-1.

It also gave a good opportunity to discuss things we might consider for L-1 time - do we want people who are at L-1 to claim who they've stared at, for example?

I still don't buy the downside in not claiming who we stared of right away during each day.  Maybe we can choose an order and make the scummiest-seeming people claim first, or something, or have a mostly consensus townread decide, or something, but that leads to arguing and waiting.

We could do something like day1 we go in order of who signed up first.

day 2 we do opposite order?

One more thing about the setup.

If we hit scum today - whoever it will be - this is how I think we should do our night Actions:

#1 + #2 -> #8
#3 + #4 -> #2
#5 + #6 -> #3
#7 + #8 -> #4

where as -> means "looks at", and #n is the n'th person in this list after you take out the one we lynch today (without changing the order):

Hydrad
chairs
EgorK
Joseph2302
Witherweaver
XerxesPraelor
Awaclus
Rubby
silverspawn

That is only if we hit scum today. If we hit town, everyone decides individually, as discussed previously.

I don't see any scenario in which this plan is not pro town. If scum is among the 4 targeted players, we enter day 2 without losses. If he's not, he can either double kill and remove 2 of the targeted players, allowing us to enter day 2 with 6 players and 2 ICs, or he can no-kill to trick us, in which case we still enter day 2 without losses.

Does anyone have any objections?

Interesting. I kind of like it, but I wonder how you came up with the targets. You're basically volunteering yourself, EgorK, and Joseph to be targeted, and Hydrad, XP and Awaclus not to be targeted. And Chairs to be probably targeted, and me to be probably not targeted.

"What should we do now?", asked Rubby.

"I guess we zap a statue off the ship. How about the one behind XerxesPraelor?", suggested Hydrad.

"Hey that's a great idea!", said XerxesPraelor, grabbing for the button.

"Wait, shouldn't we..." As silverspawn started with his objection, it was already too late. The statue was transported off the TARDIS. Around XerxesPraelor, the interior of the TARDIS suddenly started vanishing. He found himself suddenly standing in the middle of the desert, no sign of civilization to see as far as the eye could see.


XerxesPraelor, the Townie has been lynched.

Night 1 begins now and lasts 24 hours. Day 2 will begin tomorrow at 10 am forum time. Please get your night action in until then.

"It worked!", screamed Joseph. "He's gone!"

"Just concentrate on the statues", responded silverspawn. His felt his lids move. No, he mustn't...

When silverspawn opened his eyes again, the TARDIS was gone, and he stood in the middle of what appeared to be a Roman camp. Some guy in armor yelled as he saw him. "We have a Germanic spy!"

silverspawn stood there, wondering how it came to pass that he understood this ancient Latin so perfectly well, when something hit him on the back of his head, and he blacked out.


silverspawn, the Townie, has been killed.

chairs: silverspawn
EgorK: Hydrad
Joseph2302: silverspawn
Witherweaver: chairs
Awaclus: WW

Not a lot we can deduce from this IMO. Only people who followed the plan action were chairs and Rubby.

Title: Re: M59: Blink Mafia (D2)
Post by: Joseph2302 on March 10, 2015, 12:12:13 pm
I wouldn't say that was following the plan...

If we hit scum today - whoever it will be - this is how I think we should do our night Actions:
That plan was for if we hit scum, but we didn't. 2 people took the actions that silverspawn had suggested on it, the rest didn't, according to the claims made. It's probably not that important though.

Important thing is we have no ICs.
Title: Re: M59: Blink Mafia (D2)
Post by: Witherweaver on March 10, 2015, 12:28:01 pm
Right, hence it wasn't following the plan.

I don't particularly like the looking choices.  To wit:

I also looked at silverspawn. He was the main person content-wise D1, so I wanted to check he wasn't scum manipulating us.

The only thing that makes me hesitant about voting, is why claim to look at Silverspawn?  It's not like anyone can Track.  Actually I was going to vote Joseph and changed my mind.

So what goes through scum's head when deciding who to claim you looked at?  Well if you claim your partner and someone else claimed/claims your partner, we have a "pseudo half IC".  However, if you flip scum then everyone can go back and look and see if you'd claim your partner or not.  On the other hand, you may want to use that and claim to have a Town member doubled so that if/when you do flip scum, you can get that guy mislynched.  I'm not so sure about the utility of the last point. 

I'm thinking if you claim early (Chairs, Joseph, Awaclus) as scum, you say anyone, probably not your partner.  The downside of a Town to claim after you having looked at that target is not too great.  If you're a later claiming (me, Hydrad, EgorK, Rubby) scum, you get to choose whether you'd repeat a target or claim someone new.  I'm thinking you'd simply do the latter: claim someone no one else has looked at.  That gives the least amount of information for everyone. 

Not much to go on.

I picked Egork for because I was worried that we would all stack on 1 or two people so I picked someone that I felt like not many people would pick thinking that at most one other person would pick them.

I guess I was more worried then needed that there would be like 3 or 4 people on one person.

Stacking on 1 or 2 people would have been good. We would have either blocked the kill or gotten a strong indication of who was not the killer.

Yeah, but like I mentioned before, there isn't a huge problem if someone watched the guy you claimed.  He's not an IC because (1) He could be scum that didn't perform the kill, and (2) one of the people claiming to Look at him could have lied.  And if you get lynched and flip scum, people then have to look back and wonder if you'd claim your partner.

But by saying someone other than silverspawn, you're giving town more information. In order for that to be a good idea, you would have to be confident that the information is going to mislead town rather than help them, and it sounds like a high-risk, low-reward gamble to me.

I think you definitely don't kill SS if you plan on claiming him early as scum - personally, I'd NK the unknown (Rubby) since I don't have any idea how to work with his meta.

I think a kill of SS feels like someone who wants to make sure no solid plans come up, since SS was making a good plan.  Probably a newer player.  I'm thinking maybe a Rubby/Awaclus scumteam, and I'll vote: Awaclus

So how much do we read into the claim order? My immediate thought was (big coincidence!) the opposite of Joseph's "hunch". Not sure how much stock to put in it, and it might be prejudiced by my overall reads, but as town why would you want to claim first? Gives scum more of a chance to lie with more information. It might or might not be a scum play trying to appear town-friendly, but it's not pro-town.

For the record, Joseph and Chairs both volunteered to claim first. I don't know if I believe that the scum team would go first and second and both claim silverspawn, though.

I think joseph is heading to the "well, scum!chairs wants to make sure he claims SS before anybody else so he comes off not-as-scummy for it".  That's an argument I simply don't agree with, as I think scum!anybody really ought to be claiming someone else - maybe their partner, but probably just some random townie that isn't SS (because since they killed SS, it seems reasonable to believe that the folks who claim watching SS will come under unusually high suspicion).

Lets say chairs is town and WW is scum. How willing would WW be to jump on chairs there? I think its a slightly higher chance that scum WW jumps on chairs like that then town.

sure lets try itVote: WW!

Then your probably town. I just have a slight thought that chairs might be town though.

Also I know that post doesn't really make sense but sometimes that how I try to figure out who scum is and this time I posted a bit of my thought process.

For now I will again vote: Joseph, although I'm feeling odder about Chairs' posts today, and as I said it would seem bizarre for both scum to claim first and say silverspawn. Don't want to put anyone at L-1 yet. And let's please not self hammer if we are town at L-1.

I think joseph is heading to the "well, scum!chairs wants to make sure he claims SS before anybody else so he comes off not-as-scummy for it".  That's an argument I simply don't agree with, as I think scum!anybody really ought to be claiming someone else - maybe their partner, but probably just some random townie that isn't SS (because since they killed SS, it seems reasonable to believe that the folks who claim watching SS will come under unusually high suspicion).
This was the way I was going, I agree it isn't actually a good argument. I think early claims were towny.
I'm probably settled on one of Joseph or Chairs for today.
Really, because I'm not convinced either of us is. I know for sure I'm not.

Well, let's assume for the moment that Joseph is Town (and for the rest of you, since you don't get to see my PM, that I am as well).  There's at least one potential easy mislynch there based on "one of them HAS to be lying!" and possibly two if you can keep that ball rolling into the next Day.  It's a lynch that people could sheep on based on a surface-sensible argument, one that goes just deep enough for lazy Town (of which I have been guilty in prior games myself) to just vote it and move on.  If I were scum, and I thought I'd get a shot to easy-mode two mislynches, I'd run with it.

So who is a better lynch target? What would be less "lazy"? Obviously scum would be thrilled to get any two townies lynched, but why should we think that both of you are probably town? From my or any townie's perspective, ignoring reads and claims, any given pair of other players at this point is mathematically more likely than not to contain at least one scum. Is claiming early and saying silverspawn more likely to come from a both-town pair than a contains-at-least-one-scum pair? I welcome everyone else's thoughts on this too.

Rereading some of Day 1.. it's hard to figure things out this game.  Most of my reads are just feeling.

Right now I think Awaclus and Hydrad are town.

EgorK and Chairs are questionable.. that's mostly just from that "hmm should I quickhammer?" thing Charis did with EgorK.  He said he wanted to see how people would react, but I don't know.

Joseph still looks usually scummy, which is just as much of a town tell for him as it is a scum tell, so I'm not sure though.  He or EgorK would be good lynches today.

Rubby I'm pretty null on.. still leaning a bit town.

Why would you lynch a newbie anyway just because Rubby happens to be towny?

"I have a small scum read, but don't want to lynch a newbie" seems perfectly fine to me. It's only a weak read, and lots of people don't like lynching newbies unless they seem like obvious scum.

"Crap", exclaimed Egor. "It looks as though we always lose the person standing closest to the statue we teleport.

"So who do you think we should pop?", asked Witherweaver.

"chairs", yelled Awaclus. "Really?", responded Witherweaver. "I don't think that's such a good idea."

"Okay then", said Awaclus. "I'll just do Joseph. I hope you're right." And with this, he reached for the button.

Joseph and the statue vanished, and a small monitor in the center of the control room flipped on. It showed Joseph on an alien planet, standing in a weird sort of royal palace. Lots of folks were gathered in the court, all of them wearing masks. When someone noticed Joseph's sudden appearance, some rough-looking goons made his way through the crowd, towards him.

"Man, it sure looks as though he's going to get pinned to the wall", observed Rubby.


Joseph2302, the Townie, has been lynched.

Night 2 starts now and lasts 24 hours. Please get your night actions in in time.

"Don't stare at the screen, stare at the statues!", exclaimed Hydrad, but it was already too late. Awaclus had disappeared into thin air.

Awaclus suddenly found himself in the middle of a medieval market square. Lots of people were gathered round him and glared at him with both amazement and fear.

"Witchcraft!", yelled a voice. "Take this ungodly man and give him what he deserves!"


Awaclus, the Townie, has been killed in the night.

Day 2 has begun! Thread unlocked!


Vote Count 3.0

Not Voting (5): Hydrad, chairs, EgorK, Witherweaver, Rubby

With 5 alive, it takes 3 to lynch. Day 3 ends March 24 at noon forum time.

Sooooo I still think its WW and am actually starting to think rubby also. I don't know most time when its someones first game they seem really towny. Rubby has just kinda felt in the middle for me.

I feel like egork doesn't lurk this much if scum.

It's very simple - I know I'm Town.  I don't know Egork is Town.  It's Lylo and I wanted to make sure we at least had a chance at not lynching Town, which means not lynching me.

Vote: chairs

also I think the best play for tonights powers is.

Hydrad and Egork target WW. Rubby targets either me or egork. WW targets rubby.

This was if chairs is scum we have a super high chance I think of stopping the kill. If there is a kill we know WW is safe. If not we can lynch WW and still have a chance of winning if town targets scum again at night.

ok well feel free to target me instead of rubby or something if your worried of me double killing. Either way I think we should discuss the possibility of me being scum after tonight if there is a kill.

egork should also be considered a IC here I think if chairs is scum. If we are wrong here that sucks. But i think Rubby/egork is pretty much IC to me.

I'm disagree with this. This means there is either a no kill or scum wins if its egork or rubby with the double kill. if there is a no kill we still have to pick between me or WW.

The other way if there is a kill WW is now a IC. plus it stops the odd chance that you or egork are scum and double kill and win.

Huh? I don't see how Egor can be chairs' partner. And I don't see any remotely possible narrative for me being chairs' partner.

Actually I don't care to much. It pretty much has to be WW and i'll almost accept a loss if its you or egork.

I still like my plan better but I won't fight it to much.

Actually rubby you should at least leave it up to wifom. If you like your plan then do it. But don't 100% it incase egork is scum.

"I know! We zap Egor next!", cried chairs, reaching for the teleport button.

"Hey... wait a second", responded Rubby, pulling chairs' hand away. "Are you willing to kill us all? Because I think you are."

"Yes, he's definitely one of the Angels", agreed Hydrad. "Let's throw him and the statue out."

"As you wish", said Egor, smiling, and his finger pressed down the button for one final time.

chairs found himself in the middle of a big factory, apparently for building furniture. The automated chainsaw directly in front of him was the last thing he saw.

When Witherweaver and Hydrad opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a great jungle. "Boy, have we been wrong", said Witherweaver. "Yeah", agreed Hydrad. "But where are we now?"

"Can't say. Though I don't recognize all of these plants... the Angels must have had enough energy already to send us really far back."

Suddenly, they heard a great a great roar., and looked in the direction it came from. "Oh crap", Witherweaver remarked stoically. "It's a T-Rex."


chairs, the Townie, has been lynched.

Witherweaver and Hydrad have been endgamed.

The scum team of EgorK and Rubby wins flawlessly!

MVP goes to Rubby for an outstanding mafia debut overall and in particular wrapping up the game with his great D3 play.

I'm thinking Rubby is town though, right?  Is there a scum narrative there?

So the answer to this is:
Newbie scum goes into Day 3 planning to bus his partner, who the scum team thought would be in trouble for his lurkiness. Is somewhat surprised by the relative lack of interest in an Egor wagon, still decides to put initial vote on Egor because he doesn't want to look scummy by L-1ing chairs so early (and can't count on his partner being there to hammer). Is genuinely surprised by WW's quick L-1ing of Egor and gets jumpy. And gets an amazingly fluky stroke of luck.

Yeah that Chairs thing coming, like, immediately after your vote was weird.  But, then again, if he was trying to quickhammer as scum he should have seen a PPE.

Not necessarily. When you send a post, there's a small period of time during which the forum has already checked that there were no new posts, but hasn't finished sending your post yet. Normally it's so short that it's not really noticeable, but if your connection is slow (or the problem is on the forum's end), it's possible that your post appears after a post that you haven't read. And in this case, the posting times are close enough to each other that this might have actually happened here. It happened to me in one mafia game, but luckily it didn't change anything.
