Assassin The Assassin is this game's third party candidate! Except for, there may be more than one? To complete his/her win objective, the Assassin is to find and kill all the other Assassins in the game. Assassins will be told in their role PMs how many Assassins there are in the game, but nobody beyond them will know. Assassins show up as Assassins to role checks. To clarify the Assassin's win objectives: The Assassin wins alone, and must complete his mission before the war between the town and the mafia ends. The Assassin counts toward the number of town-aligned people for counting town vs. mafia purposes. | ||

However, here is my thought on the whole "assassin and assassinated plan": It is completely worthless and incredibly stupid. What do we have to lose to try the plan out? It's not like we really having anything to base our lynchings on atm, and it seems like a reliable method of making the mafia take action. | ||

I find myself inclined to agree with Zona at this point - it's more beneficial for assassins to play pro-town in the beginning - rather, assassins playing pro-town in the beginning is the CONSEQUENCE of them acting in their own best interests. Their actions should be geared towards prolonging the game as long as possible, which in the beginning of the game is pro-town (doing role-checks, killing scum) and towards the late game is maybe a little pro-mafia, more pro-themselves. The number of assassins in the game also influences the kinds of actions they have. Mostly I've been thinking with the assumption that they have enough hits to take care of everyone else, or ~3 Assassins. If we had much more than 3, then we'd have a lot of rogue KP floating around which makes me inclined to think there aren't many vigis or DTs in the game, and that the assassins would have a much much larger role in affecting town policy once they're out of checks and kills. | ||

If you are inactive when the time comes to make a major contribution people won't listen because you haven't been doing much most of the game. Players that try to coast end up costing the town as we can currently see by activity levels. I see. That answers most of it. What about previous experience, did you ever get too little townies because of inactivity? On April 19 2010 05:42 flamewheel91 wrote: Remember that you can't edit your posts.

Its really pretty tiring trying to figure out who's what and who and why with such little information, and no clues -_- The only effect assassins have on the town is their votes and their influence, but lynching the right guy seems hard enough already, so if they do sway the vote we might just get a scum anyway... Should we really even be worrying about them? Their night kills, having only 2, will surely be spent on someone they truly believe to be an assassin, so as not to waste them, and the longer the game goes the closer the odds get to 50%. Those seems like good odds. | ||

On April 19 2010 05:50 Ace wrote: What do you mean by too little townies? Let say the game starts, you have 30 townies, 8 mafia and other roles. If you get 10 inactive people and all of them or 9 or 8 are townies, then you got yourself 20 townies vs 8 mafia (+ others). So the game shifts into the direction of the mafia since they have less things to go on, they have to get more suspicious of everyone and they have less time until they are all killed (unless I'm missing something). | ||

I guess we'll find out when he starts posting. @Osmoses: Thats what Vigilantes and Mad Hatters are for. Anyone playing the "I'm confused card" and still appears scummy AND useless probably deserves a bullet. The good thing is that Assassins have Detective powers so at some point they are going to help kill some scum. @ITW: Yep. The game does boil down to 20 vs 8, but the problem is those 10 inactives are kind of just sitting around and they still count. Then you have issues where some of those people are information roles so them doing nothing is a major liability. So scum just coast along with the inactives because really - it's hard to lynch a guy for coasting when a bunch of other people are doing the same. So the town is screwed while the scum sit back cackling about the free ride. | ||

I suppose that BC is being true to word and staying behind the scenes a bit... at least he hasn't pushed his plan forward at all. First day lynch has barely any chance of getting red, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't try. Lynching inactives is acceptableish... except that we start to forget the main purpose of the game... besides that there are way too many inactives to whittle away at. It seems that some people have decided that Bill Murray should be the first to go down tonight... I will support if necessary but I sort of question some of the newer players semi-blindlysupporting people. They will pop in just to say its a good plan and then speak nothing else of it. If you have supported something please say why you think its good, or what flaws it can possibly have. I would encourage people to look more closely at those posters and see if anyone stands out. I know that a common defense will be that he/she's a newbie to Mafia but I think there are at least some of them that look suspicious. | ||
