Unvote: no-lynch

I'd rather have a decision in the lynch.

If the question leaves open the possibility that CD is scum, then he will get my vote.

That is exactly what I said in my previous post.
This will remove any doubt for the town.

[CanucksDynasty]

Townie
CD - I'm asking for town to lynch me if I have same characteristics as mafia.
Kazio - came up with a way to get more info from a single question
KevinH - suggested potential game breaking strategy of revealing 1 characteristics.

Undecided
Nerau - posted nothing substantial
Theophilos - not posted

[Kaziocore]

Then I would like to start voting KevinH's question.
"Does the mafia have (brown hair and a necklace) or (black hair and glasses)?"

We should decide now what to ask so we will have more time to discuss who to lynch before Thursday

[Theophilos]

I simply think that those two variations are the most likely two, that will show who the mafia is ... nothing more than a feeling if you will. That's why I said their is a price to pay for such an assumption.

[KevinH]

I don't have any preference for the two characteristics chosen.
I want one of the options to match CD's characteristics so that he'll either be cleared or more suspicious since two characteristics match.

Huh?

[CanucksDynasty]

I propose that the question be "Does the mafia have (brown hair and a necklace) or (black hair and glasses)?"

@MOD - is this type of questioning acceptable?

[CanucksDynasty]

Huh?

Sorry...that was a copy and paste from my first list...I didn't change it after you posted.

[CanucksDynasty]

@Nerau/Theo - are those 2 characteristics (hair + accessories) and the line of questioning (ie. KevinH suggestion) acceptable?

[CanucksDynasty]

I don't have any preference for the two characteristics chosen.
I want one of the options to match CD's characteristics so that he'll either be cleared or more suspicious since two characteristics match.

IF the answer is yes...then mafia may have the same characteristics as me or it might be the other combination.

ie. browh hair + necklace (same as me)
ie. black hair + glasses (not the same)

[Narsis]

@MOD - is this type of questioning acceptable?

yep.

[CanucksDynasty]

I simply think that those two variations are the most likely two, that will show who the mafia is ... nothing more than a feeling if you will. That's why I said their is a price to pay for such an assumption.

But something (other than a feeling) must have made you think that these 2 are the critical characterisitics that will determine mafia.
So I'm trying to figure out how you made this connection/assumption?????

[Kaziocore]

Will the characteristics we ask even matter?

IF the answer is yes...then mafia may have the same characteristics as me or it might be the other combination.

ie. browh hair + necklace (same as me)
ie. black hair + glasses (not the same)

If yes if you're lynched and it turns out you're a townie, we can ask another question that will determine if
the mafia has the black hair + glasses.

But I still think that you shouldn't be lynched.
If a question will somehow tell us the characteristics that will match yours

(1) Lynch Immediately
+ Instant win! (CD's Scum)
- The second best/active/most likely townie will be killed (CD's Townie)

(2)Lynch The Next Day
+ The second best/active/mostly likely townie will reach the 2nd day (CD's Townie and night killed)
+ We can ask another question the next day to confirm CD's identity if he's really scum or townie (if he survives the night)
+ Lynch the least active or probably scum
- In an event that there will be two candidates the next day, CD will probably influence the other townie to lynch the other candidate(CD's Scum)

[KevinH]

Good point. There's no real advantage to the town in lynching the scum the second day rather than the first.

[Kaziocore]

There's no real advantage to the town in lynching the scum the second day rather than the first.

There's no real advantage in lynching the scum right now or lynching the next day?
Sorry didn't understand that.

[Theophilos]

@Nerau/Theo - are those 2 characteristics (hair + accessories) and the line of questioning (ie. KevinH suggestion) acceptable?

Very much so.

My suggestion would be, "brown hair/green eyes or black hair/brown eyes"

[Theophilos]

But something (other than a feeling) must have made you think that these 2 are the critical characterisitics that will determine mafia.
So I'm trying to figure out how you made this connection/assumption?????

Nope only a feeling, those two characteristics are also the two I'm most likely to remember in RL when I meet someone or such. I'm betting on the fact that Narsis might have approached it the same way ... than again if he is more in to details, than I'm likely wrong.

[KevinH]

There's no real advantage in lynching the scum right now or lynching the next day?
Sorry didn't understand that.

If we lynch the scum the first day, we win.
If we lynch the scum the second day, we win.

Either way, we win.

[CanucksDynasty]

OK...here is the dilemma that I'm facing...


Group A: Nerau and Theo wants the 2 characteristics of hair + eyes.
Group B: KevinH and Kazio wants the 2 characteristics of hair + accessories.

I'm townie so mafia will be in one of the groupings.

IF I have the same hair and eyes as mafia...then Nerau or Theo is mafia.
IF I don't have the same hair and eyes as mafia...then KevinH or Kazio is mafia.

IF I have the same hair and accessories as mafia...then KevinH or Kazio is mafia.
IF I dont have the same hair and accessories as mafia...then Nerau or Theo is mafia.


The choice I need to make is to choose the question that will prove I'm not mafia thereby the town will left with just 2 suspects (if my thinking is correct).
Does that make sense?

[Nerau]

i understand what you are saying

and yes kevinh reasoning is acceptable
