Well it is a no lynch and 48 hours of discussion lost. At least in a no lynch you learn what wanted the no lynch and get some voting patterns. I don't see how you could not realize that it is incredibly bad.

Here is what we have barring medics and extra NKs:
19 - 1 (day vig)
18 - 3 (lynch, SK, Mafia)
15 - 4(lynch, SK, Mafia, Me)
11 - 4(lynch, SK, Mafia, Me)
7

Thats right we have 3 lynches and 2 comp vig kills to nab mafia or SK before we run out of time. That means we have to nab mafia in one of those 5 hits (OR the SKs) or we can't win the vote. Now I agree it is likely we will but, to pretend like a no lynch or Prince of Darkness isn't a pure mafia role is terrible miscalculation.

19 - 1 (day vig)
18 - 6 (lynch, SK, Mafia, SK, Mafia, Me)
12 - 4(lynch, SK, Mafia, Me)
8

See while it seems funny that the day vig killed BM because he tends to spam post or you might find him annoying it, this is why Radfield I believe pushed so hard for town not to take KP roles. That 1 extra KP puts us at instant lose if no mafia die by second lynch if PoD activates. Please stop trying to find ways to use the PoD, its ONLY use is to help mafia. if it activates, we kill them end of story.

@Opz, this is also why role cop was considered so good. If town took 0 KP roles then when RC found one we could lynch them, it also made BB able to lynch when he found a gun since it was mafia. Since we now have the day vig claiing to be town, and possibly others this method isn't as sure fire, because BB will find he has a gun just like he finds mafia have a gun. RC sees him with a KP role, that we left to go to mafia.

I have done extensive analysis on my role. PoD. And I concluded it

I did this analysis during the drafting phase of PyP. I did some
(major) editing to account for the DayVig

Standard Scenario
Assumptions
SK: 1. Always kills a town
Mafia: 2. Always kills a town
CompVig: 1. Kills town on even nights, kills mafia on odd nights. Does
not die (Mafia doesn’t want to kill the CompVig, unless he starts
hitting reds 100%)
Lynching: We lynch a town on our first two tries, and then we lynch
mafia the rest of the time
All the other KP stopping/Adding KP just ‘balances out’.

Not using my power (Expected Outcome)
Day 1: 13/4/1
Night 1: 12/4/1
Day 2: 10/4/1
Night 2: 9/4/1
Day 3: 6/4/1
Night 3: 6/3/1
Day 4: 4/2/1
Night 4: 4/1/1
Day 5: 1/1/1
Total Days: 4

Using My power 1st night
Day 1: 13/4/1
Night 1: 12/4/1
Night 2: 10/4/1
Day 3: 7/4/1
Night 3: 6/4/1
Day 4: 3/3/1
Worse Odds
Total Days: 3

Using My power 2nd night
Day 1: 13/4/1
Night 1: 12/4/1
Day 2: 10/4/1
Night 2: 9/4/1
Night 3: 6/4/1
Day 4: 4/3/1
Night 4: 4/2/1
Day 5: 2/2/1
Total Days: 3

Generally: Using my power ends the game one day earlier. Even though
we do get role checks, lynching is a major town power that allows us
to kill mafia. The more lynches the better

Conclusion:
Even though this analysis is in a vacuum with no other roles. It
isvery dangerous, and benefits the mafia greatly. I have to
watch out for people wanting to use my power.

If you guys want a plan, we should assign people roles. The 20 least detrimental to town roles. Although people will get scum roles, they can still utilize them for town.
+ Show Spoiler +

Just randomly assign people to a role. Then, role cops / watchers have their job a lot easier. Also, if a person picks a role, and discovers he's vanilla, its another way to detect something fishy.

If you are concerned about blue sniping, I can PM everyone their roles. That way no mafia will know.

The day vigi can kill me day 1 to verify that I am town.

No, Radfield's plan is already incrediably solid and allows more information and scum hunting abilities. And already no one really has to be concerned about blue sniping.

Oh whoops, first readthrough I didn't get it. I agree with Radfield's plan.

But why is Day Vig a mafia role?

In the penalty mafia you argued with Ace and constantly tried to find reds. In this game, on the other hand, you've had many posts like this one: lots of words to "roughly reach the same conclusion" as the rest of us.

Let me show you what I mean.

First, posts that add no content:



Then, posts that are wrong, add no content, and include ideas you never return to (again, surprising given your style last game):


Had me scratch me head, and that was before you added this bit a minute later:


Right, we should let you (unconfirmed player) PM everyone their roles, in a game where there are no PMs. Pandain replies with this weak message:


LSB immediately backs down, even though Pandain hardly said anything:


After today's lynch you will be my best target. As an added bonus, as you yourself say, your role will not help the town at any rate.

Curses! How did you konw I was really Paldain the whole time?

But I'm confused by your statement LSB. What do I have to explain and why would I have motives(unless you're accusing me of mafia, in which case I wouldn't tell you )

On August 27 2010 02:29 LSB wrote:
Oh I didnt bother to read the bottom of your post Citi.zen

But its halarious why you think I 'backed down'. The reason why I backed down is that there are No PMs .

Perhaps you also didn't read your own "explanatory" post, where you say you just hadn't read Radfield's plan.

I just want to see where you stand. I believe if you're town, you'd have a logical reason.

You paint a picture of me that is completly incorrect and then you claim that I am not following it and therefore call me out?

I am not recklass. I do not argue with anyone untill I am certain that they are mafia. I might have made a mistake about Ace, but your preformance was desicive, in a bad way.

Look back at my posts in the games. I am analytic, I discuss plans, and I look at incentives.

Please don't spread wrong information

On August 27 2010 02:36 LSB wrote:

I know what I am talking about.

That post was to explain that I had not found a flaw in his plan

The fact that there is no pms is why i decided not to expand on my idea

Just wondering. So why did you not include that post in your "analysis" of me? Is it because its easier to twist my words to fit your own thoughts?
Why did you not include any of my real Day 1 posts, and instead settle on my posts to help keep track of things? The person you portray does not exist

You misunderstand: I am NOT criticizing your play last game. On the contrary, I agree entirely with your description of your style that game - analytic, discussing plans, looking at incentives.

What bothers me is your are NOT doing any of that this time around. You are merely trying to blend in, making long posts that offer no new information and proposing "plans" that do nothing.
