Organized town is a good town yes? I don't like that we want to consolidate pushes completely. This is for a few reasons: 1. It seems like it would let mafia bandwagon a whole lot more easily. 17 people, 4 scum. So, say the vote is split, because it might not be consolidated between two people, it could look like 3-7-6-1, and then it's easy for scum to bandwagon, and especially to hit players near the middle of the queue. (Because they'll have all the pushes they need to kill with the whole town.) 2. It removes any information given from votes, and still let's scum say: "I knew he was town, but you made me push him anyways!!! FOS on whoever started town bandwagon!". 3. Makes it a whole lot harder to perform multiple kills if necessary. Say the vote becomes 6-5-5-1, who do we kill? Majority? All three? How do we plan for multiple people in the danger queue? Again, scum can easily make a majority vote. I don't think we should be disorganized, but I'm still not sure if just all-pushing one person is the way to go. I want to see more reasoning behind it. With the voting, scum can vote bandwagon, with pushing, they can push bandwagon. There must be some consolidation possible. As for myself, I don't have any super strong scum reads right now, but I wouldn't be above burning one of the lurkers. I think Darm did something stupid, but I don't think that's enough to kill him for yet. I agree with meapak that the vote isn't infallible, and I don't like how keifru is coming on so aggressive and tunneling already. I'm still deciding if that's a scum move or aggressive town. | ||

Pushes and pulls are permanent, voting lets us apply pressure and try to plan out the pushes and pulls. Voting also lets us change our mind before our actions take effect. | ||

1. I thought of an idea to help town win very quickly. 2. I asked people to push me to a position that makes my ability effective 3. I turned on my ability 4. Ace changes my ability slightly and i get a redo to turn on my ability 5. I get pushed twice 6. I turn on my ability 7. I get pulled 8. Ace updates and puts a red light in the post (which has to do with my ability) 9. I'm about to post some revealing information 10. Ace says "don't post anything yet, i updated" 11. Red light picture is gone, my ability gets turned off since i get moved after i iturned it on and I lose my ability to pop 12. Sad Panda  | ||

So, town, do I use my push on Kirfu or sit this one out? I need to go in 5 minutes. if you are mafia for 6 games in a row, that would be insane. I think you should push someone, not sure about kirfu yet though. I'm still suspicious of chaoser, but i'm also a little more suspicious of gmarshal since he pushed 2 minutes after chaosers push, also he supports policy lynching (which is generally wrong in my short experience). I don't have push or pull power until next day, but i am suspicous of gmarshal right now. | ||

We are using 24 hour day cycles, this is going to go by extremely fast and by bitching around with MEANINGLESS votes you are wasting our time. I can't remember who said this earlier, but I am going to correct them right now. The voting shit you guys are trying to implement is NOTHING like voting in a normal game for one key reason. In this game voting has no actual weight behind it, it is simply air. Its a bureaucratic waste time tool and it can only fuck us over and give the mafia way more influence. The fact is we don't have time to carefully plan out some elaborate vote in this then decide how to act. This system is BOUND to fail because we don't have an adequate amount of time to discuss all possibilities, and if we stick with it the mafia will be able to abuse that like what Keifru is doing to keep us in check in fear of looking "scummy" by pushing people and not voting. Darmouseh made probably one of the best arguments against this for why this voting idea can't possibly work. We have the potential for MASS lynches, while in a normal game its one lynch. How do we decide what vote count qualifies someone to get lynched, then organize votes accordingly? Then make sure everyone follows through? We can't. Trying to force the town into such a rigidly organized manner will inevitably lead to more chaos then it is meant to protect us from. Its simply impossible to enforce, and as a "policy" it is completely anti town. On that note, I would put a FoS on Keifru. I would be totally fine with pushing him today. | ||

For example, if someone has the ability increase the size of the incineration zone, if they want to use their ability they will have to make a fake claim that cannot be confirmable. I would be willing to go along with the idea. I know scum will probably try to make excuses about how they can't change their vote because they voted early on in the day cycle. It might be hard to pull off with only a 24 hour voting cycle though. There are a couple of things here. Kita sees one of the issues with the voting idea and goes along with it. Whatever that's not too bad, since others went along with it too, right? The next thing is mass claiming is really stupid. We have no idea how crazy the abilities can get, and its a gamble either way. We have absolutely no idea how hard the mafia can ream us for that, and since the game has crazy and unique abilities we will have no way of discerning which abilities are lies, and which are legitimate. However the mafia will know which abilities they can exploit, and which to focus down. Mass claiming is stupid. Don't do it. The only set up I have ever seen that a mass claim would work in is Harry Potter mafia, simply because we knew what roles existed and any duplicates were mafia. Hence why it was banned. The third thing that struck me as really odd was his reference to an ability to increase the incineration zone. It strikes me as something he is pulling out as being similar to one of the mafia's own abilities. Increasing the incineration zone is a move that would be clearly beneficial to mafia since it would allow them to kill off many town at once, possibly even safely if they can control exactly when the zone increases. I think this is more than enough for a day one lynch and I feel fine with it. If we also wanna push Keifru I would be alright with that too. | ||

Time to ball up. ##Push Kitaman27 First its too safe and now too much of a gamble. Make up your mind. The reasoning I suggested it was exactly for the reason we don't know how crazy the abilities might be.

Wait, what? I was responding to GMarshal with a potential mafia ability that they could use against us. And then you attack me by saying "whoa look at the role! I bet he copied it from his scum buddies!" And this was enough that you were willing to cast your vote? | ||
