Hasn't contributed anything but the number 5.

Whoa Whoa

 

I'm here now.

 

I haven't played mafia in a while, nor had a good grasp of understanding the gametheory before. So both not lynching and lynching inactives sounds like a good plan to me.

That's how the game goes man. Think of it like foreplay.

[d3mon]

I'll agree the tracker is a much weaker investigative role, but it's better than nothing.

 

As for voting trends, those that agree with the no-lynch strategy get townie points in my opinion.

MF, Why do you think that either of those strategies is good for town?

 

Also, why do you want townie points from Kevin?

[Montosh]

The great lynch or not lynch? discussion begins.

 

To me the answer is simple, we need info going into Day 2, and we will likely have little/none if we all just no lynch.

[KevinH]

It's 7 townies to 2 scum now.

 

The town should prefer to start Day 2 with 6 townies rather than 5.

 

If we lynch a townie on Day 1, what info do we get?

Everyone who votes for the lynch will say they were acting in the town's best interest.

The problem is that it is also in the scum's best interest.

Ah!!! KevinH and his post counts. I knew something was missing from the last time I played......

 

I'm in favor of lynching inactives but we can't just gang up on some1 and make wrong decisions continually after that.

[Electric Mango]

Vote: Montosh

Kevin says I should

[Montosh]

Kevin actually said you should vote to no lynch.

 

And looking more into Kevin's no lynch thing, it really depends on luck. Lynching someone may very well provide a good deal of information, but only if we're lucky in terms of how people act and vote. No lynching someone may very well provide a good deal of information, but only if we're lucky in terms of how people and act and whether they choose to vote in that situation.

 

Ideally, I feel as if this decision should depend on how the game day goes in terms on info and posting. If we have a lot of info by the end then no lynching might be best to avoid an unnecessary loss, however again, if we have very little info to begin with, lynching probably won't provide much more info. If we have only some info, lynching someone could provide a good deal, or at least somwhat, more info.

 

It's a tough call, so we'll need to see how things go.

 

For now,

 

Unvote: Lyner

[KevinH]

Vote for whomever you find suspicious.

Just don't let enough votes accumulate to lynch.

[Montosh]

I intend to, though no one seems suspicious to me at the moment. I take my time

[Lyner]

Vote for whomever you find suspicious.

Just don't let enough votes accumulate to lynch.

Will a townie care whether he's killed or replaced if he wants out? I think not.

Will scum care? More likely.

Not lynching: Chance to lynch town > scum

Lynching inactive: Get rid of useless ppl.

[Montosh]

But in this case, we have a waiting list of people who are ready to replace in, so lynching an inactive is not necessarily the best strategy, especially with so few people.

A vanilla townie is more likely to get bored of the long days than a scum who gets to kill someone at night and gets to giggle around and do this ,  watching the townies floundering around trying to find the scum.

True. But scum needs to put in more effort to seem innocent if days take longer.

 

Monty: Well, you got a point. So that'd make no lynch more favourable?
