@Rhizo, I'm so sure you're totally wrong I could bet any amount of tech on it. It would make no sense to implement post restriction in a way you've described, because it restricts nothing. What kind of restriction would be scenario where "10 people has made 10 posts, so a vampire can post 40 times"??? You don't call it restriction and you don't implement it at all because it's not restriction, it's worthless gimmick.
Now use logic and take that "5 posts" SLMK mentioned in an example as average number of posts. Most probably SLMK's post restriction looks like that: X post + % of average number of posts. Now please rethink your statement with that assumption in mind.
Now onto other things:
- If we lynch randomly (most probably we'll be hitting townies: 63% right now) we're looking at 3 deaths per N-D cycle (VH kills are 100% good ones so they don't concern me). With that amount of deaths, game will most probably end on D4. Also assuming there are 2 scums per team, each team have currently 78% chance to hit town. That means, if we act recklessly it will be very easy to wipe us out in just 2 nights.
- As long as 2 mafia teams exist bandwagon information is not very useful (scums will be hunting for other scum, and that presumable townie who's lynched a werewolf can easily be a vampire).
I think we'll need every town we can get on later days (D3/D4...maybe even D5)...so unless we're damn sure that someone is a scum, or we have very good chances for hitting scum, we should wait.
- Even if we lose 2 townies at night - it means that chances of scum being killed next time are bigger now.
- Town benefits from each night it survives.
I don't have the time to continue going back and forth over this. We can sit here and debate what we assume the restrictions are or aren't, but it comes down to I do not know what they're, and you do not unless you're a vampire. . I only have what the Mod has told us, and that is the amount Vampires are allowed to post will go up as more posts happen, and the example he gave us, for which I dove into last reply. I doubt his setup will be exactly like his example, but he mentioned something along those lines. My point is simple, I dont believe the restriction will be outrageous that Vampires are easily determined solely on it, and I think individuals spending too much energy and focus on post amounts is not only going to waste town's time, but end up causing mislynching due to possible lower post counts by VT's.
My fear was this (vampire post count) was going to take the up the day being the main topic, and I only seem to be helping make that the case for which I do not want to. So I'll end this discussion with if you want to examine post counts to try to find a Vampire, by all means...I'll hold further response on it until you present your thoughts and see if it seems logical or not. I however would much rather see discussion shifted and focused on what we want to do today in regards to lynching or not and how town should play this. I personally keep resorting to rereading the sign up thread to try to get a better idea of the setup in general and trying to determine what's best for town.
I have asked a few questions I have, Mod seems to be away the last day.
So maybe others can answer this one or give me their thoughts.
Werewolves - Can kill vampires at night...if their kill isn't a vampire and instead a townie, do they kill townie?
Vampires - Can kill werewolves at night, I assume can kill town as well?
Van Helsing - Can he only kill Vampires...or can he miskill and kill a townie?
Arsonist - Can kill anyone besides Van Helsing...but does he win with town or does he win if he's the last remaining?
I'm trying to understand what each role can kill at night. I am assuming Werewolves and Vampires can knock off town as well at night, and assuming VH can only kill Vampires, so would say expect 2 kills for sure with a possible 3rd if VH guesses right. I am not sure on Arsonist...as I find it odd the Mod added he cannot kill VH, which makes me think he could be a SK character on his own to win. All townies are told who VH is, so if he's with town, I would expect the arsonist to be told who VH is thus there is no need to mention Arsonist couldn't kill him, because why would he.
