Mafia can withhold KP. You can't just say "BUT WHY NOT ALWAYS SHOOT". This is a perfectly reasonable action from the scum team at this point. 4 players in an all vanilla game might be unfair in a 15 person set-up, but it seems perfectly obvious that this can be balanced out in this set-up. Instead of lynching people based on what you assume the set-up is, how about lynching people who flat out lie?

And my role is green, I'm guessing similar to pious man. I die to minion hits, and I am not a blue. I am not regarded as a power role afaik.

you seem like a huge advocate for balanced games and get really pissed when set ups venture off the norm. So I'm going to put a little bit of faith in you and ask you: How often do you see no-flip games with 15 people have more than 3 scum? Because sandroba's explanation (which makes sense to me) seems to suggest otherwise.


I only get pissed when setups venture off the norm without trying to balance both sides. Which happens a lot because most hosts dont do What If scenarios. But whatever.

No flip games with 15 people having more than 3 Scum:

A.) 15 player Normals often dont have more than 3 Scum anyway.

B.) Reading through the OP there is a possibility for more than 3 Scum because of revival roles for the Town. If the Coroner can confirm players as pro-town then even being revived for 1 Day is a major advantage for the Town. It's essentially a temporary Tree Stump. That being said having more than 3 Scum so that the Town doesn't run wild is likely.

C.) redFF, sinani, myself, bumatlarge, jackal - all claimed roles. I know I'm town, and even assuming sinani and redFF are Town, bum being Scum, and Jackal being Town then there has to be some kind of revival role left out there. 2 Coroners, my game ending role, Jackal's alleged role:

Thats a lot of power on the Town side. Either the Mafia would have 3 players with brutal roles or more than 3. If we accept that the inhibitor was 1 of them then that leaves 2 Mafia power roles.

They'd pretty much have to have the necromancer or some revival roles or else as I said above - this game would end quickly.

Which means the last power role has to be something awesome if there are 3 Mafia. A 1 shot sure-fire kill is great, but doesn't scream monstrous to me. I'm not buying the there has to be 3 Mafia argument yet.

When did the Town confirm Sinani as town, and how did we do it?

Show me. Outline it. I dare you.




Assuming mafia had 3 members to start with, then Mafia kp was 2. 3 people died that night. That is mafia kp + minion shot. sinani was lynched. If sinani was scum, then this would have reduced mafia kp to 1 before the mafia kills went out.

Good god why are we wasting more time speculating about this shit?

If we lynch mafia during the day, for example from 3 mafia to 2 mafia, does it reduce their KP that same day? e.g. would we see 1 mafia kill instead of 2?

Yes.
Order is Blocking Effects, Lynches, Killing effects, Other effects.


Initially I thought that, if we lynched both mafia then the res would still go through but I guess I'm unsure here because "other effects" is after lynches. Thus, if we lynch a necro he can't res, I think.

If we lynch the necromancer does his resurrect go through or is it nullified?

(sorry for all the questions iGrok haha. We love you :D )

I never said there was a necromancer in this game.

Oh you BITCH :p

working on the assumption that there is, what would happen? Replace "necromancer" with "resurrector" if you wish, I don't give a shit

Also if he refuses to answer I say we lynch iGrok

Lynch me if you dare!


Sinani is town. I showed you. I outlined it for you.


What happens if there is 4 Scum

What happens if I start farting rainbows? You berated people for looking for things outside of the OP and creating scenarios to fit their imaginings.
And now you're creating what if scenarios?
Ya you're scum.


Typical jackal, as someone who just claimed something that is not in the OP, don't you think berating Ace for something that you are is a bit hypocritical?

I have no hard proof all I have is behaviour and logic. Mafia is indeed a game of assumptions and that's how you work out the most reasonable explanation. The hard facts I have is that kp was 2 + minion day1 and 1 day2, plus the fact that I've been roleblocked twice while voting bumatlarge when otherwise he would be lynched.

Now the number of mafia players present is an important expeculation. I've given many reasons already why a number of mafia greater than 3 would be imbalanced and in one of your posts you agree with my logic. It also can't be lower than 3 due to balance and kp from day1. That being said that does indeed confirm varpulis and sinani as town.

One thing I find funny is that you jump all over redFF's claim, but you say nothing about bum's. That is contradictory to your own personal logic. Look at bum's claim. If he was town and indeed had that role how would you use that? You would try to fucking confirm townies by checking lists that had one vote looking for pious. That would be the most obvious thing to do and probably imbalanced as it would 100% confirm a player to bum in that case. Yet you never bothered to look into his claim nor at his behaviour. I wonder why.

Another example of contradictory behaviour:

Jackal is telling the truth and he's legit.


Why? How come? Don't you find it slightly intriguing that there is a medic on a setup that people can ressurect? Jackal is suddenly legit to you based on nothing, but somehow you think when other players use reasoning to deduce if a claim is likely or not to be legit than they are "jumping to conclusions". Nice double standards right there. Your rules only apply to others, but not to you when you are pushing your objectives.


I believe bum's claim because it is more plausible than redFF's claim. If you were roleblocked I'll think of other possible scenario's but right now I'm very interested in why sinani and redFF's claims dont match up well. redFF messed his claim - you had to have noticed this. Why is bum's claim not good but redFF's legit?

I believe Jackal's claim because of the role I have. I'm just waiting to die so I can rape face.

Yes, I noticed some inconsistencies, but I believe they are town, from logic and behaviour. There are plenty of reasons why red would lie about not having more claims as town. At first when he claimed I found it sketchy, but after considering for a bit and looking at the situation, I thought it would be likely that redFF got informed of who the original coroner is at the moment he died and he just *had* to check the person he pushed day 1 (varpulis) to see if he was right. He then wanted sinani to be revived because he was coroner and thus had to claim for the priest to know. If that is actually how it happened or not doesn't really matter because either way I'm positive they are town.
Bum claim is not legit because ON is mafia, thus not pious. Even if he had 3 votes as he claims (one of palmar/wbg must be pious aswell), the only way for him not to be lynched day2 is if ON is pious (not possible) or he is lying.
You don't find it the least bit curious that Bum miraculously survived 2 lynches he should have died? You have claimed another role. Jackal is and imba medic that protects against all scum actions. Do you really believe it's possible that mafia has no role blocker Oh So Great Setup Breaker? If you have half a drop of common sense the answer is they obviously do. Assuming I'm lying about being roleblocked, why the hell mafia did not save redFF if he was scum, and bum/ON town? They could insure redFF did not get lynched with rb despite pious.

Really what this comes down to is: Is redFF really THAT bad of a player that he did not read the OP and think about the overall strategy of the game? I don't usually let people go away with that excuse.

@jcarlsoniv:

Show me the exact scenario again and order of events. With quotes and everything that proves this.


I'm more than happy to, but I'm not sure why what I just said wasn't enough. What do you not understand about my deductive reasoning? Where am I missing something. Show me the hole, and I'll be glad to look for a way to patch it up.


Is the Mafia kill compulsive? Likewise is the roleblock compulsive?

I really may have missed something small thats why I'm asking. Just a list of "ok this is what happened each day that is mod-confirmed" could go a long way to clearing this up. Someone still has to explain redFF's behavior during his claim though. I refuse to believe he is that bad.

Ace you can't convince sandroba because I guarentee you he is scum this game. He will just keep using his roleblocked excuse to incriminate me, and then because ON agrees with me, well then ON is mafia too.

Mafia has no roleblocker, they could not save redff. You just have to push that that is not the sace because you are scum. 4 scum and no blocker would not surprise me in the slightest.

Also Ace, when I first started playing and I was seeking advice from you on the behaviour of a player that kept mentioning previous games and what a great scumhunter he was, you told me I was right to be suspicious and that those games had no relevance to the current one. Turned out he was scum.

Now you are doing the same thing here, saying you are great and have the most experience, yet this game you have done nothing to find scum or "break" the setup in favor of town. All those other games you played in which you were townie I'm sure you did great. Yet this game all you've done is abitrarily nit-pick on a claim from a COMPLETELY NEW AND MADE UP SETUP that you have no previous knowledge of. You claim it to be absurd, yet you say I'm the one jumping into conclusions. You completely disregard behaviour and other issues and you only push your agenda when convinient. You are not analysing each scenario and pondering everything, you are distorting the information to meet your ultimate goal. You are scum =)


Why do you keep doing this. You chastise me for not posting, and now that I'm posting it's "I'm not scumhunting". You can't have it both ways.

If you haven't noticed the rules don't apply to me. I'm better than everyone else. Good luck though.

When are you going to acknowledge that no one can Counter Claim Coroner in this set up though - whats taking you so long? Surely you are smart enough to have figured this out on Day 1 right?

I like how you say I'm disregarding behaviour when that is exactly what this is all about: redFF's behavior with his claim. Read my posts and stop being bitter that you aren't as good as I am.

How can no one counter claim coroner? Thats positive ev for town always, as you can simply lynch both claims.

In a setup with double lynch and 4 mafia they are guaranteed to lynch a townie and keep 2 kp the whole game if town double mislynches day1, thus making it impossible for town to win. I think I've proven that already? Yeah, I have.

If you think there is a possibility for 4 scum then give us who you think is scum.

We have a double lynch for a reason. If you think both red and sinani are scum, well, one of them is dead. Who are the other two? (also it's not likely red is going to get revived.)

Thats a lot of power on the Town side. Either the Mafia would have 3 players with brutal roles or more than 3. If we accept that the inhibitor was 1 of them then that leaves 2 Mafia power roles.

They'd pretty much have to have the necromancer or some revival roles or else as I said above - this game would end quickly.

Which means the last power role has to be something awesome if there are 3 Mafia. A 1 shot sure-fire kill is great, but doesn't scream monstrous to me. I'm not buying the there has to be 3 Mafia argument yet.


If you have such a kickass role that activates when you die, why the fuck are you so scared of getting lynched?



Really? Show me where I have been scared of getting lynched. Come on read the thread - have I REALLY been trying hard not to get lynched?

lol what a scrub


Alright then, I advocate we lynch Ace and no one res him. Then since he's so much better than us he can do all the work and save us with his broken role.

Ace you can't convince sandroba because I guarentee you he is scum this game. He will just keep using his roleblocked excuse to incriminate me, and then because ON agrees with me, well then ON is mafia too.

Mafia has no roleblocker, they could not save redff. You just have to push that that is not the sace because you are scum. 4 scum and no blocker would not surprise me in the slightest.


Yea I already figured him out. I'm just doing this for kicks. You'd think someone would revive Varpulis right now or at least push for it heavily. Oh well.

How can no one counter claim coroner? Thats positive ev for town always, as you can simply lynch both claims.


What? positive ev for the Town? Do you want a shovel?

It's a NO FLIP GAME.

Repeat that. NO FLIP.

If you lynch both claimers the Town loses the only known investigation role they have of flipping people. All trails by association are DEAD. All trails by voting analysis are DEAD. The Town figures stuff out by alignment flips. Lose 1 scum, the Town loses all alignment flips. The Game is over unless the Town has some super face raping roles.

The Coroner, who should be smart, would see this and not Counter Claim. "My word against his" in a no flip game is pretty stupid behavior when you're the guy that gets flips.

The expected value is always negative for the Town - it leads to a loss unless some really epic shit happens to help them. Keep up chap, you're supposedly smarter than this.

Wow this is the first I've heard of this. Mind sharing Ace?


I actually typed it out, but I restrained just in case there really is some Mafia role out there that can do something insane.


Also, would double high priests break the set-up? I'm thinking it's completely plausible with what we are seeing so far, since we haven't seen an unlynchable claim or shoot, and there is only one coroner. Losing an HP would really rough up town, and the likelihood of them overlapping is huge.

How about 3 mafia member and a traitor? Traitor counts towards kp. Oh look another explanation. How about no necromancer, 4 mafia and 2 HPs. Oh look another explanation.

This right here should prove that Ace has no desire to be helping town, because he hasn't read the thread.

No one can revive Varpulis now because he's been dead for more than 48 hours.

NOOB.
