Can I ask, though, that since there are 9 people, we make the day max. 24h even if not all 9 have voted? I'm thinking of the scenario where 7-8 people voted and 2 have not, and we gotta drag on for 24+ hours for the other 2 votes which most likely won't change much.

How about we don't do anything that would show king's identity, how about that? What the fuck is the point anyway, the only one who doesn't know is the assassin (lol, stupid assassin, you suck!), why would we bother making a circle when the slightest mistake could lose use the game?

If you ask me, the assassin's chances are very low, all town has to do is not fuck up and lynch based on behavior.

Also, the more I think about it, the more this game makes no sense. So there's a town where ppl don't know what the king looks like, but he has bodyguards who know who he is, and one of them just happens to be an assassin, who doesn't know who the king is.

Some kingdom!

Also why the hell are you people PMing?

I agree that we can make an algorithm that would use the king's name as the key, but all the assassin has to do is try out all 8 names and see which fits. No?

In order to have a TOUGH algorithm, you'll have to use ALL player's names, in combinations, so that it's just too much to try out.

For example (JUST AN EXAMPLE), look at the list, take the king's name, use some encoding, then use the player 2 spots under him, use coding again, then add/subtract player's name 3 spots above, multiply by player name 1 spot under him, and so on. Just so that it would take hours for someone who already knows the name to figure out the coding, and would take days to try all variants, unless you write a computer program for it.

Hmm, so no, no code pls. Just logic k tnx.

Well, I guess it's fun to you to make-up codes, but I joined thinking it would be a 100% arguments/logic/guessing game. Basically what you're doing is this:

Make up a code and hope that at least the other 7 bodyguards will be on, and have the patience to crack it before the Assassin has the chance to simply try all names.

If you can come up with a smarter type of code, maybe based 50% on facts and 50% on guessing, I'm all in, but this way it's just a number-crunching contest. No thanks.

P.S.: Wtf do you mean Coag? 2 Kings?

Also I suggest to kill non-talkies. We know who the king is so no risk of lynching him. And bodyguards have to reason at all to keep silent. And if you force the assassin to post, you can simply judge by his posts.

I got a bunch of ideas as well but most of them have either a loop hole or an exploit. I can't find something that's giving us even a higher than 50% of catching the assassin. This is mostly because he gets to make a move before we lynch. Damn this game was intelligently conceived.

I suggest that if the assassin figured it out due to the "code" he should just claim so and re-shuffle roles. I don't want this to blow over in 3 hours because someone couldn't keep it in his pants!

Ah I see what you mean cube, we'll have to find better means of communication. what do you say we go through a list of inactives and decide which ones we want to lynch?

doc h has been playing to much insane mafia, it's gone to his head and he's created two kings. This is actually pretty bad because I only got one of you as the king in my role pm... there's the possibility that there are two assasins. Or maybe some of us got one king and some of us got another.


Well yeah. The town's strongest weapon is the fact that the assassin only has ONE shot. All we have to do is convince him that someone other than me is the king. Easy peasy.

Right. Do you think I even tried your code? Why would I?

And also, I think you're overlooking the fact that the other people didn't really bother to try/answer either. And the in-actives.

I suggest we lynch you for almost revealing the king and accusing me after claiming I'm the king, so you could get your free-confirmation.

Well you're as good a guess as any. Most lynches will be fairly random in this game, so might as well start with the guy that jeopardized the king the most, no?

ima gonna go sleep forealz now!

Haha, good job guys. He accuses me, I say no tnx, I think you're the one who's being suspicious, and that's "ferocious"?

Ok, enjoy your lynch.

But just as a thought, if I WERE the assassin, wouldn't I try all possible variants and pick a target before I die?

I mean, there's one in eight chance that I'll get it right anyway.

You should be getting my point from the post. If you don't, you're just a bad mafia player.

But as I said, I don't mind. Just remember who pushed this wagon down the hill in the first place.

P.S.:

After I get lynched, know that you're going ahead in this game following people that didn't realize that if PMs were allowed, the game would be over in 5 minutes:

1. Everyone PMs "I am bodyguard" to the king.
2. The king PMs everyone back telling them which player didn't send his PM.
3. Everyone lynches the assassin.

There we go.

The only chance assassin would have against this is if he PMd one random person and that person would be the king. Go Go 16,6% chance!

Well played guys. Good luck with this, I liked that you didn't even bother reading my posts.

Also, in a game of 9 people, it must be pretty convenient to be able to start shit and bandwagon on the guy who defends himself.

GL assassin, I hope you pay more attention than the rest.
