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

[Montosh]

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

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.

 

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?

 

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?

[Blaskowicz]

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?

[Montosh]

Hapa, I played some newbie games before on Mafiascum. I was usually a vanilla townie and usually got lynched day 1

If I knew, it'd be quite an easy game, no?

 

I've no idea... However, I would be up for nobody to use their ability tonight, and see if the mafia decides to hit, and to whom.

[Montosh]

I agree, if we use our ability night 1 it will almost certainly be wasted, since there's very little way to determine if and whom they hit.

[AngelCruzdelaSant]

The whole one-shot thing for everyone really adds a new element to the game. I don't think there really is a good strategy other than "It looks like I might be targeted tonight, time to activate"

Aye.

How about we simply use our ability when we think we're going to be killed. If we're going to be targeted and we flipped tails, then we're dead

How will this dissuade mafia from shooting targets? Even without flipping the coins, nobody should even reveal whether they used their ability or not.

 

Also obligatory Lyner vote

Vote: Lyner

Because 90% of the time, Lyner is scum :V

why did you just read this thread :|

[Electric Mango]

I just found this thread but then dinner was ready so I couldn't comment.

I also think that people should use their ability when they feel they should and keep it a secret. It won't help the town if the mafia know when we plan to use our abilities anyway.

FOS Kaz for finger pointing at me.

[reign of terror]

For me, it seems that waiting to see who the scum target first so we have something to go on before we start wasting our shots is the best plan.

[KevinH]

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.

 

Have a majority vote to lynch somebody and the day will end.

Have a majority vote to no-lynch and the day will end.

 

Otherwise, keep discussing for 12 RL days.  It will go faster than you think.
