@sandroba: no. There are myriad ways that your plan could go straight to hell. Blues: do not claim to sandroba.

@zodiac lists: cool.

I don't know if you've ever played a pm game of mafia before, but it can be very beneficial to discuss things with only one or two people that you trust to be town. You can make plans and lay traps for mafia. Don't underestimate the power of your mason ability.


You give me one good example of this happening in a previous mafia game or I vote for your lynch day 1.


One of the regular games, I cant remember which. 36 or 37 maybe? jackal and ver used PMs to work together hunting the scum team. Near the end, they determined in PM that deconduo was probably the godfather, but they acted in the thread like they thought deconduo was innocent, giving him a false sense of security. Before they died, they revealed the truth and deconduo was lynched, winning town the game.

@wiggles I described this scenario on my original plan. If I'm mafia 1)I'm risking to be insta outed by a DT check 2)If I lie and claim someone checked me, if there is a DT who actually checked me (which I have no way of knowing since he won't mason me if I return red) he can istantly out me as mafia.
So no, in that scenario there is no possible bad outcome for town.


Pick GF. Say that a DT checked you as green. No other DT in his right mind will counter-claim, as he will have seen the same thing, or he wouldn't have checked you in the first place. All blues claim to you.

You're mafia. Claim green. It's a gamble, but if no DT checks you, then you get all the dumb blues claiming to you. If a DT did check you, then he needs to counter-claim. Worst-case scenario for scum is a 1 to 1 trade with a DT.

No. It's a bad plan for town.

Did sandroba say that it discourages mafia from killing people on the list? Because I'm pretty sure BC said for medics to protect people not on the list, thus the people who are on the list are wide open.


The way I understand it; Its suppose to protect the vet townies on the list because if the mafia lynch one then it draws more attention to the remaining people on the list (some of which may be mafia). I really don't think that its worth it though.

I think we need to move on. The plan is bad, no one should do what sandroba suggested, now we can all stop posting about it.

Why is it more likely for those 8 than opposed to any other random set of 8 players?

I can agree with the whole focusing our attention on players to get more information out of it but thats about it.

@wiggles I agree that if I'm GF the plan is bad for town. But I'm not =P. If I'm plain mafia it's not even a 1 to 1 trade because DT can use someone that he has a town read on to share the results.

@Pondo Games are usually balanced around the players aswel, so there's a very high chance there is at least 2 mafia amongst those 8.

The list I gave is a list of the most experienced players in this game. This forces alot of pressure on us to

A) be active
B) because we have to be more active we give more information that would show our alignment


These are the two most important steps. There are other bits that would go along with it, but forcing us to be active and perform is huge. Finding the mafia among the vets while keeping as many of the town ones alive is hugely beneficial and makes it alot harder for mafia to easily pick townie vets. This does not extend into long periods of the game. It is only really good night 0 and possibly night 1 based on how day 1 goes.

So roles aren't purely randomly generated? If that's the case then this zodiac thing makes more sense to me.

I propose a representative newbie be placed on the list and nominate myself or Mataza or both.
if I had to describe his playstyle, it'd be a coked up rabbit with the attention of a goldfish injecting caffeine into himself directly through an IV drip. it's like a reel of random animated shorts where things just blow up randomly

Wrong. It's meant to force veteran players to prove that they're pro-town by exposing them to extra scrutiny, and protect the vets because mafia on the list will be under even more scrutiny if one of them gets night killed. It's a great idea, just something to keep in the back of your mind while playing.

First, I mostly agree with the Zodiac List, with the possible inclusion of GGQ.

Second, everyone please be hella careful about what you post for the rest of Night 0. Mafia has nothing to work with for their first kills, unlike most games, which start on Day 1. The last thing we need is to give them a quick blue read. In fact, I highly recommend that everyone wait to mason until at least Day 1, otherwise you run the risk of your PM buddy being popped before either of you can do something useful. Remember, if you think he's worth talking to this early, the mafia probably feels the same way.

Third, can we please for once avoid the clusterfuck town that we've had for the past few games? Everyone who hasn't, go read the first ten or so pages of Pick Their Power Mafia and XL. This is exactly what we don't want. It's an environment where the mafia thrives, skating by on minimum contributions while the town tears itself apart on threads of suspicion. Try to say a lot with a little, and try to focus on one or two suspects at a time instead of posting big lists of pro-town and "maybe scum" reads. (see Qatol's advice here)

Oh great I'm on a list, now I have to be active <.<
Why are we masoning ROL? I feel as if the PM system in this game is designed to create an information network that can (and most definitely will) be infiltrated by mafia if used incorrectly. That said, I won't be masoning anyone anytime soon.

Why are people masoning so quickly?
I thought your supposed to make sure that the person you mason is actually trustworthy rather than just mason who ever has the most posts or the biggest...
I mean who knows?
You may be masoning Mafia straight away which is kinda a waste because they may not talk back to you...
