that's fucking ridiculous. so you have one setup - cop, which is already by far the most powerful

then you neuter the other two setups completely by denying watcher/tracker of like 90% of their power.

wtf is that about.

@risk:
It's more the general concept of Hiro to use a tracker claim as means of confirming town that I am against, not against claiming in general, but scum can easily counterclaim so it won't work that way.

Scum most likely won't claim if he does it day 1 or 2.

While it would be sub-optimal play for scum to trade 1 for 1 that early, you cannot dismiss the possibility.

On the other hand I could see it working out for the better if he claims as early as you suggest. He would leave scum fishing for the doc between the other townies.

Eh I'd only ever consider double lynching in sciberbia's 3/1 scenario (or a 2/1 if it ever comes up). Anywhere else I don't see the benefit.

Thoughts on using Tracker as an innocent child style role instead (if we have one)? It's fairly worthless in this setup since it can only track medic/RB and mafia will know whether or not a tracker is present.

You mean claim, and if counterclaimed (by scum or the real tracker) we kill them both?

I don´t think it´s a good plan. A Tracker is not as good as a DT, but he´s not useless. An innocent child will just get killed if he claims D1. The Tracker can track the one doing the nightkill and the roleblocker, and know if his target is a Doc (no roleblock claim and survives), so basically a DT that misses the one scum that does nothing.

Can scum send the roleblocker to perform the nightkill AND roleblock even when there are other goblins alive, thereby reducing the number of people at risk of being Tracked?
(Only usefull in a Tracker+Doc setup, but still)


Tracker doesn't track night kills. And if it's a setup with a tracker, there's a good chance scum would hold their RBs.
How do you know the Tracker doesn´t track scum nightkills?

Okay. It´s based on the first post, quoted below:

Nevermind about Tracker.

I agree with marvellosity, not tracking nightkills make the Tracker and Watcher too weak.

@Forumite:
check the first page and the post risk linked, it's right there. Factional actions don't get tracked/watched.

On your accusation (or rather opinion, it feels rather weak to me):
I wanted to get started, so I posted, probably should have proofread it to avoid misunderstandings like this one. I am not against shutting down policytalk completely, I have already done some of it myslef by now. I was more stating the intent to not go overboard with it, since scumhunting is our priority.
As you are doing it already, looks like my wish was granted, although on the wrong target

Too weak?

Callign ShiaoPi out for nothing and now you are actually complaining about the setup, in a game that already started. What exactly are you trying to do?

watcher tracks night kills - look at sciberbia's question right after that.

Forumite, what do you make of the fact that Shiao has been willing to discuss the setup right after that?

Would you accept "Create discussion"?

My assumptions on Tracker and Watcher was that they can track/watch for the nightkill. That would still give them false positive results from the Doctor, but leave 2 scum who they can find, not as many as the DT but decent. If they can´t see the nightkill being delivered then the roles are much weaker, so it came as a bit of a shock.

On ShiaoPi, I wanted to see if my scumsenses were working after my break with a quick read. No, I´m not convinced he´s scum.

Just got home and I'm about to reread and form some preliminary reads. Just wanted to clear some things up about the setup (you guys would do well to read my pregame posts):

However, keep in mind that tracker cannot track night kills.

So let's hypothetically say that I am a mafia goon and on N1 I carry out the mafia night kill on Keirathi.

If the tracker was tracking sciberbia, will he see that sciberbia visited Keirathi?
If the watcher was watching Keirathi, will he see that sciberbia visited Keirathi?



Tracker finds nothing. Watcher finds that Keirathi was visited by sciberbia.

Yes, tracker is almost laughably bad. Cop >>> watcher >>> tracker. But we're stuck with whatever we've got.

Okey, I'm still not sure but I'm starting to lean that if we have a tracker (which we probably don't have if we're lucky) he should claim. At first I thought hiros suggestion was dumb as crap but thinking about it more and including things that hiro probably didn't even realise I'm starting to feel this might be the best action. I think he should claim Day 3 or preferably during night 2. Just before the daypost. (He could put some effort into making sure he'll be around for that time) but otherwise day 3 will be fine.

thoughts?

So I was thinking through how a double-lynch would actually play out (because I instinctively disagreed with forumite that we should avoid them) and here is where I got. By attempting to create a double lynch we would actually be taking the power from the hands of the lynchers and putting it in the hands of those being lynched. The only situation where it would work as intended would be if both players (A & B) vote for one another and don't move that vote. That is unrealistic, it is much more likely that either A or B or both would withhold their vote, making the effort of getting even votes on both of them based more on last second vote placement at the deadline and less about careful planning.

He posts without reading, isn't relevant, sarcastic, and thumbs his nose at town. This just rubs me the wrong way.

and Costos Luna's first two posts are pointing out a contradiction that isn't a contradiction and telling people to stop talking about a day1 double lynch, which no one was doing.

P.S. Could someone explain the innocent child thing to me? I looked up the term on mafiascumwiki and it didn't seem to apply to this game.

I think postulating about a setup we only have 1/3 of the time with various unknown lynches/nightkills in the way is quite an unproductive use of thread space. Even in your post you say "for things without Hiro realises" without expanding upon them. Looks like crap designed to spam up the thread.

@DoYouHas
An innocent child is a mod-confirmed townie with no special powers.

HiroPro pointed out that (a potentially existent) tracker is a rather useless blue as far as actual night abilities go. However, HiroPro's idea was to essentially turn tracker into an Innocent child by having tracker claim today.

If the tracker were to claim today, mafia would be very unlikely to counterclaim, and we would essentially have a confirmed townie with no special powers (seeing as he would be a RB-magnet), hence the term innocent child.

I'm fairly indifferent about this idea myself. I agree with marv's recent sentiments that we are wasting too much time talking about a potentially existent tracker, and it's time to start scumhunting.

I think the general idea is that the watcher/tracker could claim early, and by virtue of scum generally not want to trade 1-for-1 by counterclaiming, that the watcher/tracker could be confirmed town for the rest of their time alive.

I don't feel like it was a particularly good proposal though. If the watcher/tracker claims early, now either his lifespan is limited, or he will be roleblocked for eternity. As as "useless" as they might be, they are always more useful alive and getting results than dead or getting perma-blocked.
