Mafia Game Threads / Re: M141: the coalition (the coalition phase)

« on: August 30, 2024, 12:30:32 pm »

I could potentially be convinced to add Jack into a coalition of some sort if we want to try including the less active players

I think Jack is towny too. Swap Jack for Mix?

Why? Jack seems, at best, totally null to me, given no frame of reference. I could also see his sudden participation as something spurred on by a scum partner in daychat.

Just tone. He seems genuine, not coached to me. Of course very little to go on.
Realistically everyone in this game is probably good enough that it's hard to build strong reads before the first flip.

Hi don't prod me.

I think if we did a mix, mcmc, cuzz, eevee and joth coalition we'd win. Maybe.

I'm going to sleep now.

i could dig it

i would do this

It's a surprising amount of consensus.

As I think about the brothers Robzalot and their play today I think I put the wrong one in my coalition.

Can you elaborate? I have a thought re: the brothers, wondering if we've picked up on the same thing.

Oh, I missed your preceding post, we do not have the same thought.

My theory is that when the brothers are in the same game and one is mafia while other isn't, the mafia brother tries to buddy the other up so they wouldn't come after them (they are both strong and influential town presences). From that lens, mcmc would be my pick for scum within them. A lot of his posts are involving Robz this game this far.

But otoh mcmc is a great driver of the game and his approach is sensible for town as well. I didn't realize my coalition = 5 highest posters, but I'm not terribly unhappy about it. Should be generally easier to find mafia from the most active guys bracket and the chance of getting it right from the jump is probably higher than random if you only pick high posters. (And before you ask cuzz, my coalition list was made on townreads not activity. , but admittedly townreading more active people is a subconscious bias I've long suffered of.)

One of these things happened

Option A
I went back to post#1 to re-read the setup and caught day chat in the mafia pm with my eagle eyes

Option B
I've been chatting away with my partner in the mafia thread all this time and decided to bring it up for town cred.

Who thinks A/B?

They are probably pushing each other to be added to the coalition, aren't they?

We need to have town steer the ship so everyone (just town!) be extra stubborn and suspicious of mafia trying to manipulate you. They can cook up all sort of schemes in the day chat.

Who is “they?” Just scum in general?

Yup.

vote counts in this phase are going to be a nightmare to keep track of

If you want to help the nice mod men out just post your full list any time you edit it.

Mcmc seems towny, I agree with the analysis regarding building the coalition around players that are easy to read or will drive the game forward a lot.

I think for scum it's going to be more natural than usual to lay low here, avoiding attention seems especially tempting for them here.

Here's what I'm thinking about, which may or may not be useful: Is there anything scummy about reacting a certain way to the idea of a random coalition?

I sort of think that, while mathematically random is way better for scum, the idea of losing the game outright to an RNG is probably more upsetting for scum. So an immediate, vehement anti-random reaction strikes me as a bit scummy. Merely being against randomness is neutral.

So anyway, I will not be including Cuzz in my list at this time.

I think it's more one of those things where people have a position they stick to regardless of their alignment.

Good point about lurking being especially anti-town here. Great setup!

I want to add that I was pleased to draw town. It always came more naturally for me, and I especially enjoy playing town in these setups with no power roles.

Hey all! This is pretty cool seeing so many familiar faces. Hope everyone is doing well!

I think if we just play like we usually would and try to develop townreads for 9 days we ought to be able to do better than random. It's more fun too. Booo Robz for not believing in our abilities as town, though I think the statement is townish.

there's a 9 player setup called the coalition that is pretty beloved on mafiascum & i suspect it hasn't been run here. if you folks want to continue the momentum of playing here i'd be happy to mod it.

the basic point of the setup is that it's 7v2 and at the beginning of day 1 there's a phase of selecting a group of 5 people that you agree to be town; a majority of 5 voters has to agree on that exact group of 5 people. then, if all 5 of those names are town, the game ends instantly in a town win. otherwise, the game proceeds as a vanilla game (just 7 VTs against 2 goons with a kill every night) except with the knowledge that one (or two) of those 5 people everybody trusted is mafia

Heyyyy! I would play this.
