Technically, it would have been a vote race because of the tiebreaker rule, and the winner would've been the one that dropped a vote on the other first. Since vote races are dumb we decided we prefer to end the game with a draw.

people who don't post.


However dumb you think it is, it was the rule. You don't like the rules, then don't play.

Personally, I believe the rule makes sense from a game theory perspective, but that's not the issue here.

If we consistently let single no-voters get by with a warning, that becomes a strategic option in itself (although one of questionable morality)...

No, the game is a draw because owb can shoot at the mafia.

If owb didn't have a gun, then it would be a mafia win.

Alright you're a pretty smart guy so I won't really assume you need anything in specific, I'll just leave you with a couple basic tips.
Number one priorities as town are to establish yourself as townie (ie innocent) and to HUNT SCUM!

If you have any specific questions I'll be happy to answer them. If you haven't read Ver's 'how to improve' guide, do so.

This guide is pretty decent as well but less example-specific.

I actually posted this then edited it out because I realised I was wrong.

owb was a multi-shot vigilante and so could have shot mafia at the time he was shot by mafia.

People worry way too much about the exact wording in the OP, when using common sense to work out what would happen is almost always the right way.

The only reason there's the # of mafia = # of town rule is to rule out stupid vote races based on who's online when.


Exactly. If its 2:1 town:mafia, then town isn't actually encouraged to vote for mafia nor is mafia to kill the following night in the case of a NL. That should 100% be a mafia victory.


What are you talking about? Town is obviously encouraged to vote in a 2:1 situation, otherwise a 2:1 situation becomes a 1:1 situation.

Literally the *only* situation that mafia does NOT win in this 1:1 situation is the EXACT situation that occurred in this game - where the remaining townie has bullets to shoot at the mafia.


Not very. In a 2:1 situation, town could vote, mislynch, & have the other townie killed off resulting in a mafia victory. All things equal that's a 67% chance of happening & resulting in a scum win. If they no lynch & one of them is killed off the next day, the vote race (while dumb) results in a 50% chance of a scum win.

That's why 1:1 situations are resolved as scum wins. Not to mention that usually in a 1:1 situation it wouldn't be possible to have a majority vote but I think we were playing plurality which is usually also bad.

this is a unique situation because both town and mafia have 1 kp.

I realize it was a rule which is why I said it was a "dumb rule" & not a "dumb mod." Abstaining is a silly thing to deter especially since the reason seems to be that it's a "scum tactic." You wouldn't deter bussing so why does it make sense to deter abstaining? Both can confuse the town but apparently one is legitimate & one illegitimate in a game based on lying.. okay..

It just seemed silly to modkill someone who was active in the game clear up to a deadline & then modkilling them for something inconsequential.

It is the mod's decision & if that's a common rule around here, everyone should consider reconsidering it.

More often than not I find that rule more visibly affects people who fuck off for most of a game and don't care enough to vote.

In which case I support it wholeheartedly.

That rule already exists, and it's not enough imo. (Ingame day rather than 24h period is the current rule).

That's still dumb. Town has a 33% chance of winning, tying, or losing in LYLO lmao. In MYLO, it's a 25% chance of winning , 50% chance of a vote race, or a 25% chance of a tie. Allowing vote racing OR calling things a tie "because a townie has a gun" is dumb & favors town way over scum.

It's nothing to do with "favouring"

You disallow vote-races because that relies on when people are physically online, which is an outside-of-game commodity/chance

Therefore it goes to night actions, where both players have guns to shoot each other with, which they obviously will. It's really, really, really simple.

Rather than LYLO, I believe they call that scenario MYLODITHAV (Mislynch and lose or draw if town has a vig).
I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt. I mean not that fancy store bought dirt. That stuffs loaded with nutrients. I... I can't compete with that stuff.

That should be a mafia win not a draw. If number of mafia = number of other players during a day that's the end of the game for mafia.

I actually posted this then edited it out because I realised I was wrong.

owb was a multi-shot vigilante and so could have shot mafia at the time he was shot by mafia.

People worry way too much about the exact wording in the OP, when using common sense to work out what would happen is almost always the right way.

The only reason there's the # of mafia = # of town rule is to rule out stupid vote races based on who's online when.


Exactly. If its 2:1 town:mafia, then town isn't actually encouraged to vote for mafia nor is mafia to kill the following night in the case of a NL. That should 100% be a mafia victory.


What are you talking about? Town is obviously encouraged to vote in a 2:1 situation, otherwise a 2:1 situation becomes a 1:1 situation.

Literally the *only* situation that mafia does NOT win in this 1:1 situation is the EXACT situation that occurred in this game - where the remaining townie has bullets to shoot at the mafia.


Not very. In a 2:1 situation, town could vote, mislynch, & have the other townie killed off resulting in a mafia victory. All things equal that's a 67% chance of happening & resulting in a scum win. If they no lynch & one of them is killed off the next day, the vote race (while dumb) results in a 50% chance of a scum win.

That's why 1:1 situations are resolved as scum wins. Not to mention that usually in a 1:1 situation it wouldn't be possible to have a majority vote but I think we were playing plurality which is usually also bad.


The 1:1 situation this game is a special situation because the townie has a gun

pretty sure i already explained this. I think we're done here.


That's still dumb. Town has a 33% chance of winning, tying, or losing in LYLO lmao. In MYLO, it's a 25% chance of winning , 50% chance of a vote race, or a 25% chance of a tie. Allowing vote racing OR calling things a tie "because a townie has a gun" is dumb & favors town way over scum.


It's nothing to do with "favouring"

You disallow vote-races because that relies on when people are physically online, which is an outside-of-game commodity/chance

Therefore it goes to night actions, where both players have guns to shoot each other with, which they obviously will. It's really, really, really simple.


In LYNCH OR LOSE, town has a 33% chance of winning, tying, or losing. With no vig, they have a 50% chance of tying by not lynching.


Town loses 100% of the time by not lynching if they have no vigi - it goes to 1-1, no voting, then mafia kills the townie at night

Once again, town having a vigi alive at the end of the game is a unique situation.
