Although I find your behaviour weird.
If you are town, your behaviour doesn't make sense to me for the reasons I described above, but if you were scum/SK I think you'd try to blend in a little bit more, or at least try to do something instead of complaining the minute you replace into the game, and do nothing at all and even acknowledge that

Hmm, any thoughts on this people? Rad/Grey/Wiggles what do you specifically think of prphlz's behaviour and how it would fit in as scum/SK behaviour?

So your "scum+SK" list would be something like this then?:
Scum:
Palmar
prplhz
SK:
Radfield


My list for now would be like this:
Scum:
Palmar
BrownBear
SK:
prplhz

I'd go more into detail why I get the feeling BB is scum, but I want to lynch Palmar first and not distract town.

Yeah, the SK I feel is one of Rad or GreY.

How strongly do you feel prplhz is the SK though? I feel very strongly that he's mafia, but if you think he's the SK as well, it might be good to lynch him. The SK hasn't shot yet, so that means that there's two options to limit the KP against us. I'm going to do a little analysis of how we should lynch.

The first option is to lynch both mafia consecutively today and tomorrow.

Then:

We kill 1 mafia, 1 mafia left.
Mafia shoot tonight, 1 KP.
We kill the last mafia, 0 mafia left.
Then there's only the SK KP left over.

2 KP total that can hit the town. There's also the chance that scum hit the SK which could help us because it will block a KP.

The other option is to lynch the SK today and then both scum.

Lynch the SK.
Mafia shoot, 1 KP.
Lynch a mafia
Mafia shoot, 1 KP.
Lynch the last mafia, win.

Both of these rely on being fairly certain of who the two scum are. For example, if we did something like lynch a mafia today, and then the SK tomorrow, we would lose.
Right now it's 4-2-1.

If we lynch scum today, but both SK and mafia hit town, then:

4-1-1
2-1-1
Then we need to lynch mafia to remove their kp:
2-0-1
Then lynch the SK.
2-0-0

If we hit SK instead of mafia:
2-1-0
1-1-0 after hits.

If SK hits mafia after a mafia lynch:
3-0-1 Which puts us in a good position
4-0-1 if the mafia also hit the SK

If mafia hit the SK after a mafia lynch, SK hits town:
2-1-1 or 2-0-1
In the first case, we need to hit the mafia to get rid of his KP, case 2 is LYLO.

So, if we lynch mafia today, we must hit the other mafia tomorrow if the SK shoots town. So, we have to be sure of and agree on, who the second mafia is in the majority of cases, as lynching the SK could result in a loss.

Now, if instead we hit the SK today, it will go:
4-2-0
3-2-0 after hits
3-1-0 lynch 1 mafia
2-1-0 next round of hits
2-0-0 lynch the second mafia

If we hit the SK, we need to do a 1-2 hit on both scum with our lynches.

So, lynching prplhz could be the best move today. I think he's mafia, you think he's the SK, but we both agree that he's scum. If we lynch him and he flips mafia, we just lynch Palmar tomorrow, and then hunt for the SK. If he flips SK, we still lynch Palmar, and then we look for the last mafia. Either way though, we don't get into a situation tomorrow where we disagree on who the last mafia is and end up potentially lynching town or the SK and then losing.

What do you think?

I'd expect you to say something like that (lynch prphlz either way), but I think we should still lynch Palmar.

+ Show Spoiler [About SK] +

One thing about the SK is that if we misslynch today (I doubt it...but anything can happen), he can "help" us by shooting scum tonight so both town and SK have a chance to win in a 2-1 LYLO later.

Kind of like this

D3: 4-2-1
Misslynch
N3: 3-2-1
If scum shoot town and SK doesn't shoot:
D4: 2-2-1
Here scum can easily get the SK/town lynched, making it
N4: 1-2-1 or 2-2
In #1 they shoot the remaining townie, the SK would shoot at scum (may miss and shoot the townie), and immediately vote for the SK as soon as the day begins (or if that doesn't count it's a draw). In #2 SK instantly loses.
Even if in D4: 2-1-1 town+SK join together to lynch a scum, it would become 2-1-1, and 1-1-1 or 1s-1sk if the night shots go in a certain order, which means the SK would still not win (for him to win he'd need scum to shoot a townie and him accurately shooting the scum).
The point is that I don't think a 2-2-1 situation would be good or comfortable for the SK, which leads me to:
If we misslynch today, the SK should shoot someone he thinks is scum (it shouldn't be too hard for him)

However, if in N3, the SK shoots scum, it's something like this:
D4: 2-1-1
The SK can help us lynch the remaining scum, leaving us in a D5: 2-1 LYLO with the SK


If we lynch the SK we'll be in 2 LYLOs in a row, and I don't like that. I want to lynch scum today, and as time goes by I get more confident Palmar is scum by him not showing up or acting satisfactorily.


Wiggles, what do you thing about prplhz behaviour up there? And what about that question I presented to you guys in the top of the page? prplhz seems to just not care about anything right now, do you find that compatible with him being scum or SK? In what scenario?

The situation you presented is exactly the same the other way round as well:

Today we lynch Palmar, he flips scum.
Tomorrow we lynch prplhz:
-If he's scum, we hunt for the SK
-If he's SK, we figure out who the remaining scum is.

Do you think Palmar may be town? Or even SK? If not then we lynch him.

Actually, I think Palmar is scum, you think Palmar is scum
I think prplhz is SK, you think prplhz is scum.

Why isn't Palmar a better lynch by that reasoning of yours?

Okay screw that.

gonzaw is not scum and no matter if he is SK or town he wants to lynch scum today. He's also putting in quite a bit of effort so maybe he's right. Palmar isn't doing much and I don't really have a huge town read on him. He just seemed townie when I read the game. Anyway, lets just roll with this Palmar lynch today. I'm just going to sheep gonzaw on an opinion I don't really agree with but that's how it's going to be for now.

##Vote: Palmar

If gonzaw is scum then gg wp. You should try replacing into a game where everybody thinks you're scum by default, it's not really all that fun.

The point is that if we lynch mafia today there are situations where we [b]must[\b] lynch the other mafia tomorrow. If we dont we lose. We disagree about the last mafia, so that means we could lynch the wrong one. Lynching prp assures that we either have both scum, or that we have two cycles to find the last one. What youre saying to do is wrong because it relies entirely on the actions of the mafia and the sk. Youre taking the power out of our hands and putting it into scums which is dumb. My plan works in all possible scenarios regardless of what kind of scum prp flips as and regardless of what actions scum take tonight. Yours relies on the sk or mafia taking certain actions so that we dont lose

I agree with wiggles, a plan that requires the SK to shoot scum (when he doesnt know 100% even) is a plan that can go very, very wrong.

Wait..how does lynching scum today "relies on the sk or mafia taking certain actions so that we don't lose"?

If the SK shoots a townie tonight? I doubt the SK is that stupid, unless he's in great danger of getting lynched instead of scum or something, but then again if that was the case he'd have the chance of getting lynched in that 2-1-1 situation you mentioned.

I think having a "safe" lynch on prplhz because maybe the SK shoots a townie tonight and maybe scum shoot a different townie tonight and maybe the SK gets himself lynched or we misslynch a townie on D4, then we'd lose.


Palmar is scum, we lynch scum, end of story. I'm actually not that convinced on prplhz either, I'm not convinced he's scum...and to be honest I'm not that convinced he's SK either because of his behaviour (nobody answered that questions I posed above, explain prplhz' behaviour to me from a SK or scum perspective).

Do you think sk has magical scum finding powers that no ome in town has? Theres an easy chance of sk hitting town. Id tell you why prp is mafia but Im on my phone so I cant write a big post and it doesnt matter if hes mafia or sk so long as hes antitown

I don't want to follow a plan to let one scum survive just to lynch someone else assuming he's scum/sk, but there's a chance he may actually be town, just to "prevent" ourselves from having to forcefully lynch the 2nd scum (which we need to do at some point of the game anyways) just in case an extremely improbable scenario happens.

I'll say this only once:
I want to lynch scum, both in succession preferably
Palmar is scum
→I want Palmar lynched

I don't want to follow plans that says "Oh prplhz might be SK in which case even if he was we'd still be in a good position, so lynching that guy who has less chance of flipping scum but could still flip either scum or sk is better than lynching the guy that's basically confirmed mafia"

Because those kind of plans are most likely:
  • Not going to work as intended
  • Are presented with an anti-town agenda behind them

If the SK knows his shit and is smart he won't shoot a townie tonight (there's also the chance scum+SK shoot the same townie), if he doesn't want to getting lynched on D4 or even creating a misslynch and him and scum draw; and of course if he doesn't want to risk wasting his bullet if he and scum choose the same townie to shoot (or if he shoots and actual scum by accident)

Prplhz is not town. Its as simple as that, theres no chance that hes town anymore than there is that palmar is. Its more like if we follow plan a something bad could happen hat makes us lose but if we follow plan b it doesnt matter if that bad thing happens. Im not even the one aeguing that hes an sk.

My plan cant go wrong unless prp is town, which hes not. Your plan goes wrong when we need to lynch mafia tomorrow and its me arguing to lynch prp against you trying to lynch bb, and we nees to pick between winning (prp) and not lynchimg mafia (bb). Killing prp makes any choice tomorrow super simple
