Soo I guess we don't know what roles are out there. Super mysterious. Anyone have any ideas for how to proceed? Anyone play in a game like this before?

No PM's gets rid of a few things I think of. Can someone link me to a good example of a No PM game?

But I think we should proceed with lynching the inactives Day 1. It puts pressure on the mafia and the town gets rid of someone that might just be playing lurker.

With the penalties, everyone's abilities are dimminished, so I'm guessing we can't rely on circles and stuff (then again, that thought was kind of dead by the time PM were gone)

We don't have to roleclaim, but it's in our best interests to publicly announce what our penalty is if we have one. I'll share how we'll go about this when more players start posting.

I can't think of any plans that work. Is there a good game that I can read that's similar?

im confused as to what a safe penalty claim is even supposed to be. A safe penalty almost sounds like an oxymoron to me

but i guess we dont get alot of info, this is the first like uh not standard game ive played since starting here so i hope it shall be fun and this is me saying hi

Maybe a safe penalty claim would be like "You are bulletproof, but only if sometime in your post you say the word 'penalty' " Something that can't really be checked

And other than people who haven't posted yet, I currently have my eye on LSB and bumatlarge. LSB is acting super noobish, while bumatlarge has unhelpfully offered himself as a vigilante target for no good reason, though he claims his power sucks.

Scamp, if your wondering why I'm noobish, look over my post history to see how many game I've played.

As for BM. I'm wondering, if we lynch someone, would we see their role PM? Or just if someone dies would we see their role PM?

Secondly, why are we assuming BM is a silent oracle? He could be a silent assassin.

Hey Bill Murray. I think your role might be that you get a list of the mafia, or at least a partial list of the mafia, but you aren't allowed to talk. You are only allowed to make votes. If this is true, change your vote to scamp again and then to a mafia member that is not ace (if you have more than him) and then back to ace. Or just from scamp to ace if you only know Ace.
Just ignore this if it isn't true.

Other Issues
-If BM actually has a weird post restriction stuff. Well after he's lynched we'll find out his role. That would be pretty helpful

Why BM would do this, assuming he's mafia:
Immediately, town got in a huge disarray. A split was made. BM was counting on this working so that Ace would die the first day. We then see that Ace is clean, and day 2 we would lynch BM and his best supporter, who would happen to be green. Bill's death buys 2 days and 2 innocents.
However, looks like he made a small mistake :D

As for lynching Pyrr. I would advise AGAINST lynching Pyrr now. The logic works like this
Premise 1) If Bill Murry is Mafia, Pyrr is mafia
Premise 2) Bill Murry is Mafia
Therefore Pyrr is mafia.

However, we should first confirm premise #2. We do that by lynching BM. We're going to lynch BM anyways, so why not now? Lynching Pyrr first could lead to a dead townie. And Pyrr being green does not tell us anything about BM

Oops I can't read either, there isn't any double lynch. In instead of 2 days, Bill's death buys 3 days. As day 3 we lynch his 'right hand man'.

Assuming no vigis act, that would leave the town with
4 townies vrs. 2 mafia at the start of day 4.

There are no PMs allowed, so I cant accept mass roleclaim, so I dont really see a reason for me to use it anyway.

I don't understand, what would mafia count becoming 4 mean? they have more KP? You become mafia? where's the 4th mafia?

The count would matter for Lynch or Lose situations. The mafia automatically wins if they outnumber the town.

why is the logic that way? why cant it be the other way around, i was going to go into some big thing of explaining propositional calculus to you and other people but im sure that would just confuse people more.

infact why does it have to go either way at all for sure. Surely there can be reasons for them both being mafia, or one and not the other...or even oddly enough neither i suppose

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirming_the_consequent Go brush up on your Propositional Calculus.

And Ace's post seems like complete BS.
BM does a vote post. We all go wtf?
Pyrr was the first one to think that BM might have some post restriction thingy, and so he tests it out. That's being smart. Not manipulative.

I am against penalty posting.

There are blue roles out there. Maybe a medic that can only work every other day or something. The moment the medic reveals, the medic has until daybreak till she* dies.
*Just played BW, medics are shes.

So blue roles wouldn't penalty post. But the people with anti-town/quirky stuff will penalty post. Mafia can narrow down their hit list.

Yes really. Remember Bill Murray voted for me without any explanation, and then Pyrr came up with the idea that Bill Murray's penalty might be he can get results of scum without talking about it.

Then he asked Bill Murray twice to prove it through vote switches and then switching back on to me. Bill Murray did it and hence we had Bill Murray's penalty.

Did I misread some posts or get the order of events wrong?

You're misplacing cause and effect.

Bill Murry votes for you. This causes Pyrr to joke, and then suspect a voting penalty.
Put yourself in Pyrr's shoes.

Pyrr, who is playing penalty mafia, gets an idea it's a penalty. Perfectly reasonable. Because really, why would BM do that?
I haven't played with BM much, but from what I've read, BM doesn't seem like pop in, vote, afk. Kind of person

Pyrr tries to confirm, and BM obliges him. This does not show that Pyrr is mafia. It shows that Pyrr is playing logically

Everyone should penalty post. Blue/Green it doesn't matter because all of us have roles. Penalties are NOT tied to roles. If you think Mafia is going to just start sniping everyone based off of penalties then I'll ask you the same thing I asked Pyrr - what do you want the town to do instead?


Looks like your making the same mistake that BM did
