the only ones that really "need to find out what the king is thinking" are the assassins.

im not sure at this point i really have noticed anything out of the ordinary yet to contribute to the towns analysis.

that's not worth anything, it's worth literally completely absolutely nothing

someone earlier prompted you to offer thoughts and responses on a few specific posts. you should follow through with that.

Coagulation. If your town, please start giving input on the few ideas that have been presented. I want to hear your opinion on

1) Lynching inactives http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=167304&currentpage=2#30
generally from what i have seen so far lynching inactives only gets a town role killed.
i dont think lynching an inactive is the way to go in any mafia game and i have never ever used it as a reason. if your lynching inactives you might as well just lynch the most active.

2) Old plan, should the king be forced to follow the town's opinion? http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=167304&currentpage=2#27
no the king needs to vote who he feels he personally needs to vote. this is the best aspect of the game that puts it in towns favor. a vote outside the influince of the scums grasp is.
3) New plan, do you agree? Disagree? http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=167304&currentpage=6#101
I dont think the king should be forced to role claim. i think it only gives the scum extra information that they can use when there is absolutely no reason at all that town needs to know who the king is during a lynch debate.
In fact, it would be best if everyone made sure they have addressed, or will address these three issues

The difference is that an inactive does not help the town in away way shape or form. Mafia have no incentive to hit an inactive person as they are essentially sheep.
Inactive people will cause us to waste a lynch later on the road. I would say that inactive players are anti-town due to the problem with separating the wolves from the sheep.

no the king needs to vote who he feels he personally needs to vote. this is the best aspect of the game that puts it in towns favor. a vote outside the influince of the scums grasp is.

What if the scum is the king? Check back through the thread, I made some points on this already

I dont think the king should be forced to role claim. i think it only gives the scum extra information that they can use when there is absolutely no reason at all that town needs to know who the king is during a lynch debate.

Again, please look at the 'what if the scum is king' argument. We need to make sure the king doesn't just do anything he wants.
What extra information would the scum get once they know someone is king?

Jesus.

I have to admit, though, LSB has been kinda making me wonder all game... he's not playing the way I've come to expect out of him. Not enough to make me say "YO LETS KILL DIS MOTHAFUCKA" but enough to worry about him. A lot.

if scum is king
then there is nothing we can do about making his decision help town anyway regardless.

we will see who he is after the lynch right?
at that point he would probably be in alot of trouble if he didnt use his head and play pro town.
its a double edged sword but i think the benefits outweigh the cons.

Basically your saying if the king lynches a green, he's probably scum and should be executed the day after?

All right, theres a few thing you need to do then.

Either 1) Contribute meaningfully to the discussion. This means not rehashing old points. And possibly coming up with new ideas or plans.

2) Scumhunt

Are you kidding? If we scumhunt properly, we can get a scum king to work for us, or out himself as scum as well. It's a win-win situation.

and just lynching a green randomly who was clearly town roled

Yeah that's pretty much what I'm saying.

I'm sorry, but the king is a cool role. Why do we have to spoil it?
It's the player's chance.
IF there's a 5-4 vote split, (king's vote is on the 4) the king can lynch whoever he wants, no? That's fair, the imbalance is not that big.

If there's a 5-3 vote split (assuming one player died), then the king has one of those 3 votes. So in fact, it's just a 5-2 vote split (not counting king's vote), so the imbalance is fairly obvious. King has the option of going with the majority, or taking a huge risk and killing the "2-vote". If the 2-vote turns blue, then the king will have a lot to explain for, and it won't be an easy way out. Also, the other 2 voters will be in trouble.

So no, given the fact that there are only 9 players, I don't think there's any way for the king to explain un-town-like moves.
I fail to imagine a scenario where the king could justify a "gut feeling" blue kill, unless the votes are actually quite close (note the 5-4 split I was talking about earlier).


Remember, it is quiet easy to state a few reasons why someone is probably scum. In every single game, scum are accused, town are accused. Take this post in the Micro Game http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=161868&currentpage=8#145
Each are reasons why the king could have killed someone.

If we allow the king to go against majority, all that's going to happen is the assassins are going to be able to crowned, write up an analysis against a random player. Post the analysis and get the town to waste a lynch.

I don't buy the 'the king should have fun' argument. Remember, the problem is that the King is a very big danger and hold lots of power. Play to win, not to 'roleplay'

how about its 100% Circumstantial.
Each scenario that occurs and actions chosen will need to be dissected and analyzed and acted upon based on the situation at hand.

there is no 1 overall general strategy that we can adhere to and have a perfect resolution every time.

is this better?
