Duck ... duck ... duck ...

 

and so it begins.

 

 

It is Day 1.

With 12 alive, it takes 7 to lynch.

4 votes will lynch at the deadline, which is 1200 EDT on June 15, 2014.

 

You may post as soon as you receive your role.

Hopefully this game will survive past day two lol

To be fair the mod limited the number of days possible since he did was not really active in Day 2.

We have some cool people playing and a cool mod, we should be fine.

Why is the day 12 RL days long... The is no way we have that much to discuss. I have played versions that are 48/24hour cycles, and they work very well.

How dare you question our lord mod and savior.

Also, while we wait for people to vote for that hethen, blasphemous mafia, I wanted to make a proposal on how to use our town power roles.

 

I propose that anyone who thinks they are in danger of being shot should flip a coin every night (or some other method of RNG).  If heads, use your ability.  If tails, do not.  This will dissuade mafia from shooting useful targets without actually revealing who did or did not use their ability.

Whoo game has started!

Wouldn't that put you more at risk for the 50/50 chance of being killed? Shouldn't it be if you feel like your head is in the cross hairs to arm and pray it wasn't in vain? I mean either way it's a "hope for the best" situation with only one night for us to arm are self's.

Not bad, if we all agree on this it would probably make it difficult for the mafia. Then again, it's hard to know who will activate their ability and when regardless. Because it becomes a game of outguess the mafia.

 

You seem like the obvious target, so you arm yourself. The mafia know you seem like the obvious target, so they don't go for you assuming you armed yourself. Or you seem like the obvious target, but you don't arm yourself because you assume the mafia won't kill you based on the fact that you'll probably arm yourself. And all the variations of that.

 

So yeah, not sure how useful that'll be.

It is a game of who armed and who hasn't. the best strategy is to try and keep as much info off the thread as possible so you don't give away any info to make yourself a target while still extracting vital info, but that is not always so easily done.

And then all the mafia has to do is continue no killing until everyone runs out of shots lol

I highly doubt mafia would make a night action that would put them at a 50/50 chance of getting killed.  Those are terrible odds for mafia, and I'd take the town side of that any day.

 

Remember, mafia only have 3 members in this setup, so taking a risk to lose one at coinflip odds is very scary.

...and here-in lies the point of my plan.  If you generate your night actions by RNG, mafia will never have enough information to make a safe shot.

That would be fantastic for town no?  Mafia not shooting people = extra lynches for us.

Yes, but if the mafia are good players they won't get caught into far into the game. If they wait for say, 3 days, the mafia may feel safe enough to start taking shots with impunity

That's still absolutely fantastic.  I don't think you understand how much of an information advantage extra lynches are for town.

 

Though why are you assuming that there's some "super-team" of mafia running around?

I'm not assuming anything

 

I'm assuming that OP is stating the truth and that there are 3 mafia. Saying that mafia want to avoid getting killed isn't exactly assuming much

So what do you think is the best way to deal with the 1-shot PGO abilities?

No, that is a terrible idea. We have exactly one shot. If the mafia decides to not kill us in the first few three days, and we all use that, then more than 80% of us will have wasted our power.

 

How about this, we talk, then we decide what do?

I heard they gave the mafia members steroid's to make them a super-team...

Basically, we need some info, and we certainly don't need to use our PGO ability without thinking.

Last game I played we talked for daaaaaays, and never got anywhere really but lynching a vital member and having me killed by a mysterious peeping tommy after I got laid...

That's what this discussion is aimed to do.  What do you propose we should do instead?

 

Also @ Montosh, have you played mafia before?  If so, where?

We try and locate the Mafia

 

Your strategy gets much much more useful in the endgame, so unless we detect a pattern within the Mafia, we should refrain from using it, unless that person is sure it will get killed tonight. If the Mafia starts killing early, we adopt a different strategy.

 

Basically, let's find out the baddies first.

So lets find the baddies.  Of the posters so far, who is the baddest one of them all?
