Alright, I must admit I just simply skimmed through the thread. However, here is my thought on the whole "assassin and assassinated plan":
It is completely worthless and incredibly stupid.

For all the talk earlier on about the role of assassins in the town, I think we need to understand that while assassin posting should aim towards prolonging the game; the town can't rely on the the assassins to act on the town's behalf. But here's something for dts to think about.

If you role-check an assassin, you should definitely get in contact with them. Remember that:


Which means that finding an assassin can help you find other townies with which you can begin to develop a town circle. Not only that, but since the assassin's objective has absolutely no bearing on the game as a whole, detectives should be able to work in a pro-town way with the assassin. Remember that assassin hits...

... don't count against the assassin's total if they correctly hit another assassin. Therefore, detectives should be able to, if you play your card right, get the assassin to take out some spare mafia as well.

Therefore, DETECTIVES:
A) Rolecheck an assassin
B) Establish contact
C) Establish quid-pro-quo
D) Provide names, receive names
E) Establish more contacts
F) Order hits

Objections to this plan?

You might end up killing an inactive townie, but at the same time you could kill an inactive mafia OR a mafia playing it quiet and disguising himself as an inactive. If you are a townie, you should be definitely be joining the discussion.

Just because Ace rolechecked him, and he acted like a DT, I'd like to remind you of WHY he's NOT a confirmed DT.

He can say "well I wouldn't do that as an assassin" but his only possible argument of not being an assassin is literally a scummy argument.

there are 3 options:

a) Ace is a detective. This is great for us, as the best player is on our side.
b) Ace is an assassin. This isn't terrible for us, as the best player is for himself (we can ignore him)
Remember, assassins get rolechecks. I find this likely, as he has already defended one accusation of this. I'm not saying "lets lynch ace, he's an assassin!", all I'm saying is remember he could be.
c) Ace is a good guesser. I don't see this being the case, regardless. He wouldn't do this.

Do I personally think he's a DT? Yes.
Do I think he could be an assassin? Yes.

Either way, we have reds to hunt.

Guys remember to check out the ZBOT thread, it will be a very useful tool in the near future.

Uhhh... xD If you look on the Mafia forum, and then look for the ONLY THREAD THAT ZBOT STARTED THAT HAPPENS TO HAVE THE SAME NUMBER FOR MAFIA AS THIS GAME, I think you would find it? xP

Why is this so hard? xD

[Link provided here incase you still cannot find it]

This reflects poorly on your abilities in general. >_>

But he's "interested that nai.protoss chose to analyze a really inactive poster". In itself, that sounds suspicious. Trying to hide much? Furthermore, when asked why he voted for Scaramanga, he says that he is pretty easily swayed, and cites blind support for BM's plan. Sorry, but you can't just get away with blind support. If he was truly swayed by the argument against Scaramanga (as presented by Rage methinks?), then he would know that the argument was that Scara is useless. Now, what exactly have you done, nbtnbt5? Hypocrisy much?

What the heck is this? I'm starting to think nbtnbt5 is getting WAY too complacent in this game. Such posting is unacceptable... While understandable as terrible play as mafia, I can't fathom why any town-aligned player would EVER post like this. Irregardless of new or not new. Unlike nai who actually came out and analyzed somebody, nbt's post history is a series of one liners, and he hasn't even responded to or acknowledged korynn's request. I am thus changing my vote to him, in the hope that he feels pressured to properly explain himself.

I think we should take into account the fact that nbt STILL hasn't analyzed a single player in this game, even after I called him out about it. He replied:
Since this post, he has posted again in the thread, but has neglected to do any analysis as requested... In answer to the pressure put upon him to explain his voting, he replied: I'm not saying that I'm fully convinced nbt is mafia, but with so little substance in his posting, it's hard to gauge whether nbt is merely a terrible town player or actually mafia... :-/
