No--I only wanted to lynch you and DrH because you guys started agreeing with each other wayyy too early in the thread, and furthermore, you guys backed each others' runs for the mayor/sheriff awfully early too. Anyhow, my strategy was: Random Ordering There are 7 mafia and 27 normal players + 2 extra mayor votes. In order for the mafia to win they must have a majority of survivor votes. The mafia kill 3 people per night. That means we have a 5 night margin of wrong lynches before mafia win. Once we take down mafia, that margin of nights increases. There is a simple solution, then, that can guarantee at least a 75% chance of success for the town. Arrange everyone in a random order and execute the next one on the list each night. With the 5 night margin of wrong lynches and the 1/2 kp/# proportion and 1:4 mafia:town ratio the town has a 77.8% chance of victory. This hinges on making sure the mayor is not mafia. If he is mafia then it becomes 9 mafia and 27 normal votes which means that the town only has a 3 night margin and the chances of victory for that plan go to 40%. That was my strategy. Happy? | ||

What were your calculations to get the result? | ||

the 4 inactives are: Ng5, ohN, phyujbaz, and JohannesH. Correct me if i'm wrong. Many people will now say "Lynch them!", but do you kill stasised tanks first? Do you use feedback on a maelstromed defiler, or one that is running away towards your cannons?  | ||

Ng5 isn't that active generally... but he's around (in his chess streaming thread), so I think he's lurking. I wouldn't lynch them yet, some of them are probably totally inactive and they will be modkilled. Lynching someone who's inactive is a waste. | ||

Gah, how did I go through the reverse of a Gandhi quote? Gandhi: First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. Me: First I was winning, then they fought me, then they laughed at me, now they'll ignore me, and I'll get hit/lynched. | ||

Look, I have no reason now to trust anyone. However, you t_co just make nonsensical arguments and change your story every paragraph. I find it really hard to belive this is accidental, as opposed to deliberate misinformation. Either way I find you hard to work with, despite your 13 post "experience" from the red mafia. | ||

Regardless he's made himself pretty suspicious and I'd love to be sure. | ||
