so everybody has a role or is anybody vanilla?

what if we want to lynch somebody and then he just stacks the other guy with 10 votes

also, bedtime


You can ONLY vote in matchups you are not participating in, and you can vote in ANY matchup is not yours. If you look at it carefully it is very similar to a normal lynch, which the guy who gets more votes overall gets lynched in the end. The cool part about this mechanic is that you get to pressure vote people early on so they don't get a free pass on the lynch. And of course we ought to notice scum trying to make sure their buddies escape the lynch and trying to incriminate others.

The real optimization problem this round for town is to make sure all candidates we might want to lynch move on to the next round while using the minimum amount of votes. For that we have to discuss it prior to voting and make sure we are all in the same page.

So for the first round do we just vote for who we think is the worse player? IE voting original over austin?

No, and you are lucky that's not the case because judging by this assumption alone you would probably have a high chance off being nominated.
Obviously the objective of this and every other round is to make sure people we think are scummy (not bad) still are available as a lynch option.

Ok, so the way I see it everyone has at most 10 matchups to vote on, and depending on how many times you advance you may have less (some might only have 7).

So I think everyone should be voting for each matchup - there shouldn't be a matchup that you don't vote in (so only use 1 vote on each matchup, not more) and if you acquire more votes than there are matchups left for you to vote in, you don't use the excess votes.

Now two reasons to do this - one is accountability - no one should be allowed to withold their opinion on a matchup and not say who they think is more likely to be scum (merely announcing it isn't good enough, a vote is more solid and carries actual weight). That's why you use only 1 vote on each matchup - then you can't say that you don't have any votes left to take a stand with. The reason to not use excess votes is simple - the people who will acquire excess votes are those who pass through in matchups and are considered more likely to be scum - there is no reason for these people to have more voting power than others.

That poses the problem that people that got a pass on round one are highly unlikely to be lynched, even if the majority thinks they are more likely scum. We shoulds just openly discuss who we want in round 2 and make sure they get there with the minimum amount of votes invested. We do this process every round and in the end we can get anyone we want lynched.

Using your plan the person that "wins" the first round will already have 6 votes when facing the dude that got a bye with 0 vote.
At least that's the way I understand it.
Do the votes get reset after each round?

I really hate sandroba's idea on lynching with the minimum amount of votes needed for each person. Seems complicated, manipulable. I vote hiropro's plan.

It's not lynching with minimum votes, it's getting to rounds that matter the most with the maximum amount of votes. Anyway if the votes get reset than I have to rethink it.

k, then we can do one vote per match up. Or I could suggest even better, so you are more accountable for each vote you cast. You don't have to vote for each match up, but you may only cast ONE vote in each match up.
What do you think about that? I think this way is harder to blend in, because you can't justify your vote as "I have to decide between these 2". Each vote you cast you must have a reasoning behind it, but you can't cast multiple votes in one round and manipulate the results too much. That way we can observe who is interested in the lynch and give more weight to the reasons behind each vote.

To be honest no plan is required, since votes don't carry over and are open for everyone to see. Maybe letting things be will leave scum much more easily identifyable. By allowing people to vote as they please we allow them to expose their motives.

Hi again guys !

Happy to be here with ya all !
I am french leaving in HK and pretty bored at work currently so this game will have my full attention. This is my first MAFIA game on a chat thread, but I have played a lot with real friends in real life. So it should be pretty cool.

One first guess on the voting system is that people who are already given a BYE from first round are at a disadvantage (cause they have one less chance to be out) and on top of that they are higher seeded hence at a second disadvantage in case of 0-0 tie. Pretty unfair isn't it.

I guess it must have been a master plan from the Alien Invaders who put themselves all as the lowest seeded people. I would put focus on eliminating players number 10, 11 and 12 this round if possible.

What do you guys think ?
At least i am trying to put a lead on who is what....

Daoud.

Hey. Is this to be taken serious? Are you missing the point of the game or making a joke?

Elaborate why only one vote per matchup is better than variable votes? I definitely agree with not forcing everyone to vote for every matchup, but I don't exactly see why not allowing people to use all their votes is beneficial.

@da0ud Yes, those people are at disavantage. How is that relevant to who is scum or not?

@prpl You are my best scum read so far, how do you feel about that <3

@mementoss Don't be stupid. Town# > Mafia# by default. That's the dumbest shit I've read so far and let me tell you there is plenty dumb shit about.

You don't have to vote anyone right now. You have however many votes you want (max 10). You misrepresented ET impossible ratio quote so somehow he knew the mafia number which we don't know yet so you can vote ET. Yes, that's dumb.

I'm mad when I can't distiguish between someone being crazy or trying to make a fake contribution. You can vote for whoever you like as long as your explanation doesn't stink. And as long as the person can even get votes, which ET can't even get this round. Better luck reading the game and the thread next time.

There is this wonderful thing called real life that happens to often impede on things, by the time I was free to post and take time to read my phone was dead and I had to wait until i got off my rather late shift at work and communicate with this thread.

ON why the votes on djoref?

Yes I'm was not explaining anything because nothing was solid yet. I rather let people talk then to post a ton. da0ud and thrawn are flooding the thread a lot, so I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, even if he didn't make it through. That is because I would expect him to post way less had him gotten a pass as scum.

Right now I'm pretty sure ON is scum. There was no reason to throw those 2 random votes and freak out a ton if you had not read the thread. Voting isn't even mandatory. The only explanation is someone informing him erroneously that he would be modkilled due to the cohost pointing out in the thread he had not voted and since on his mind he had to throw some votes somewhere he just used the opportunity to push some agenda that is yet to be seen by voting the most controversial match up. No reason for him to vote that match up at all if he was town and had no info, since he doesn't even know those players, and I would expect him to throw one vote on someone he knew if he didn't have any agenda.

@EchelonTee So sandroba kept up his appearance for the first couple of hours and since then he's had a "hunch" post and one measly contribution. Do you really think this looks like townie sandroba? Last sandroba townie game I remember was Space Station where he ruled the town with an iron fist and nailed like 5 out of 6 scum in the first two days. Fucking ridiculous. I don't think that this looks like townie sandroba at all. When sandroba is town he can do magic but there's none of that right now. This is day1 and that always makes me a little weary of lynching a player of sandroba's caliber but it's a 96 hour day so I have no problems putting a little pressure on him. Right now I have no problems with him advancing over kushm4sta, I actually prefer that since kushm4sta is showing a lot more interest in this game.

That's pretty ridiculous comment prpl. And I known for my manners or my detailed explanation of my actions? No. Have there been any flips so far? No. Look at the cases people posted, which is the strongest? Definetely the case on ON. How can you ever say that I'm not trying to get scum lynched or that my play has been uninspired? You can't.

I'm not going to fight against this lynch. This is simply too stupid to fight over and I don't feel like it. If you people stopped one second to look at this thread you would come to realise that is simply no way I'm scum purely based on how this situation came to be. Also there is no case against me. I refuse to defend myself against the ignorant uninformed opinion of a bunch of riotters. This is no way to play mafia. You have to look at the intricacies and not follow the mob rule that is usually driven by scum. I leave you sheep to your fate.

My reads so far is that ET austin hiro and kush are town. I honestly don't know anymore about ON cuz I would expect him to try to at least keep apearances as scum.
This djodref is either very dumb or scum. You would never as town (and inteligent) feel that a person that is standing up to you against the majority trying to lynch would be scum. Prpl and mementos are prob scum.
