Hmm, I could commit well enough starting from Friday. Is the game starting around then?

Can Doctors heal themselves (I assume not)?

nobody's going to be modkilled, and if you are calculating it based on random lynching that's like 100% wrong anyways. don't assume nobody will claim cop n0. Don't assume there will be exactly 1 cop claim either


I'd say the chances of someone getting modkilled are reasonably high... There's usually at least one modkill / game and this game has unusually strict rules. With that said, there are less players (potential modkills) too, so of course I hope nobody is going to do stupid stuff.

Those numbers are from here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=436988 You've even posted there before Couldn't you see the connection?

Oops, it's a night start... Missed that for some reason... Then these are the correct numbers:

Victory Odds
Town Victory Odds: 46.51%
Mafia Victory Odds: 53.49%

Fastest Victory
Town: D2
Mafia: D2

Although actually, I think there's something wrong with the way the fastest victory is calculated. I'll have to look into that. It seems like night start messes up things :/

Wait, can't town just pretty easily claim Cop -> heal -> no-lynch until a redcheck? Mafia pretty much has to fakeclaim?

There's also a high chance that Mafia might hit Cop or Doctor at the deadline. But if not, it seems like Cop should claim D1. I don't really see downside to that.

Also it's probably best for Cop not to claim right away. There could be some juicy information to be had before Mafia can safely take a green/redcheck into account in their plans.

JJD actually probably isn't scum, because scum would know that Doc wouldn't ever claim cause that wouldn't really do anything to hurt scum. Scum would be aware of what tactics blues can use on them because scum has been hanging out chatting for a day now about the setup and claims. Unless JJD is doing a really good job of playing dumb, or he actually is dumb (he isn't), he's town. He clearly hasn't thought this true which is, (sigh), a townie trait.


Yeah, I have a hard time seeing such a blunder from scum. Too stupid to be scum prevails.

Really what it comes down to is that even if JJD were the kind of guy to not think of this thing as scum, he also has a partner and he's been discussing with his partner for almost 24 hours. Scum NEEDS to fakeclaim in this setup. Whoever our 2 scummers are, they've been thinking about fakeclaiming for almost a day now; how to claim, when to claim, who will counterclaim, and what to claim. They know that Doctor shouldn't just claim willy-nilly. The only situations where that makes sense (ie doctor saves someone N1 and it's D2 and he wants to claim it or something) don't apply during D1 when the claims happen. JJD as scum would have thought this through. He would be trying to amass towncred by making good suggestions, and talking about "maybe the doc should claim if the cop dies n0" really makes no sense. Scum wouldn't even consider it as a threat to deal with.

It's mostly not about "too stupid to be scum" which is false (since a stupid player can of course roll scum) but that scum in this setup almost necessarily already know everything about claiming, and JJD clearly does not. He couldn't have known I'd latch onto this and call him town for it; in fact, an ineffective statement like that is more likely to draw fire than praise, so as scum he'd try to only make true statements rather than things that don't make sense.


I was referring to the fact that it would be too stupid to make a suggestion like that as scum after discussing strategy for 24 hours.

JJD's plan makes a certain amount of sense. It'll depend a lot on the situation though (it might be a useful idea if Mafia hit a VT and it's hard to tell which of the claimers is lying).

Here's the other thing w/ the cop dying N0.

If we are about to lynch scum, there WILL be a doc claim. Then the real doc counters and we end up w/ the claim anyway. @ least if we force the claim early, we're making scum commit to their lie before the fact.


There's merit in forcing scum to act without knowledge of the power roles though. If Cop/Doc just claim right away, scum can plan accordingly and keep their stories straight more easily.

Not to mention that it's wasteful to get a Doc killed for no clear reason.

I don't really think there is any good situation for a Doc to claim unless it's to clearly save himself or another townie (that was NK'd earlier, for example).

It's all a big WIFOM anyways. He could as well be saying this as non-VT.

That wouldn't apply pressure appropriately. We should just be aware that putting someone at Hammer-2 is the same as hammering them basically if they are town and all the voters are scum.


Yeah, true. I don't think I'll be voting until I'm very confident that I want to lynch.

yeah, we should. Something like
##HazingBland Xatalos
would be neat. Then when someone reaches a majority of HazingBlands they should claim. Clearly you need to be hesitant with the use of HazingBlands.


BH does have a point though. It's not nearly as much pressure as having 2-3 actual votes.

I used to like playing as scum (against newbies) but then I took an arrow to the knee. Or rather, I got caught pretty easily several times in a row. It's great to make a comeback as town.

Hm. I just somehow dislike his very tryhard and focused early play. My recent memories of him being town are him being completely useless.

Although it hurts me to use an argument like this, but his entrance seemed more like a prepared scum strategy rather than his normal playstyle :/

I'm not sure myself. It could help scum to choose their NK, but it could also help Cop/Doc to choose their targets. Mafia tend to benefit from silence, but there's not *that* much to be done without the ability to vote anyways... No real pressure can be made etc... Maybe it's better not to be so open yet.

It works both ways. Mafia can narrow down their targets, Cop can narrow down his targets. It's hard to say which one is more important.

Anyways, I suggest not checking me or Artanis. I'm pretty sure we're both town. I'm even fairly sure about myself.

Because on a superficial level it looks really bad. Scum would want to pad it with something more substantial.


Hmm, that seems like a fine reason. I also agree that it was careless to name you as a townread (although I guess it was already implied earlier on).

I also agree that you're pretty bad at following your own policy

I almost agree... but there's the fact that we can't really afford even one mislynch, so a bit more caution than usual is needed. We might have no choice if Cop/Doc gets NK'd, but if we have a choice, I'd rather prolong the game for the sake of having more time to scumhunt + more info from Cop hopefully.

I think he meant that it wasn't enough of a reason to mark you as town for being noob initially. I guess you do have a point with your speculation, but I also want to see more from you outside of that Doctor thing. Do you have any reads yet? Or maybe it's better not to share freely yet. But do you have opinions on other topics?

Xata, how does it benefit town if we dont discuss who is scum at all? You seem really twisted on that issue.

BH would advocate mass claims all the way imo as scum because he is the only person that played this setup before and it doesnt feel like he is taking advantage of his knowledge to propose something scum favored.


It just seems like scum would benefit more from narrowing down their kill targets than town from narrowing down Cop targets right now. We can't even really pressure (without voting power) yet.

But on the other hand, if we just sit and wait for deadline, scum can also benefit from the silence.

Why would scum openly advocate something scum-favored? I don't really get your point.

I'm just saying that it's unlikely for an experienced scum player to advocate something that A) is unlikely to succeed B) makes himself look more suspicious.

Hm, I dunno. I tried to bluehunt a lot in Titanic (as scum) and it was all in vain. It's not so easy to find blues unless they make obvious breadcrumbs or something like that. Although I guess there are some ways to figure it out, especially with this few players.

Another reason to be less open for now would be to damage scum's bluehunting efforts, I guess?

It would be pretty stupid for all the blue roles to claim in any setup (unless like 40-50% of the roles were blue roles). I just don't get why he's super-town for NOT doing something scummy that clearly would be scummy and wouldn't almost certainly achieve anything.

why are you so resistant to the idea that BH is town? Is there something scummy you see?


It's more along the lines of "why is Oats so convinced of BH being town for no real reason"?

Looking from scum's perspective, it's probably slightly more beneficial for them if we claim all our reads now. It might be a good idea to post your thoughts right before deadline though.

Even if you think it's more beneficial to share reads right now, just as NK decisions are being made, it's blatantly false to say that there's "literally no reason" not to.

We concluded that sharing scumreads is probably a good idea. Are you saying you observed what I did but purposefully didn't share it?


We never came to any clear conclusion about how we should handle our reads before N0 deadline. I still don't think it's the correct action to share everything unless it's RIGHT before the deadline that you want to do that.

Actually Oats did share his reason, but the reason was just plain bad. So I concluded that A) he's scum and trying to justify a read without any true reasoning B) there's more to it (a blueread or something else that he doesn't want to share yet).

I think it's fine to post some reads and maybe infodump at the deadline. But I don't think it's best to share EVERYTHING freely right now.

In case I happen to die an early death, here are my early reads to consider.

Artanis
99.99% town. If he's Mafia, I will salute his extreme efforts to radically change his style and basically scream town with his every action (compared to Titanic where he just lurked and bussed me... it's almost impossible to compare these two games).

JJD
Pretty sure he's town. He's seemed very convinced of his own ideas and has pushed them in a way that's felt genuine. He also made some decent points about Sn0_Man.

Sylencia
A big null. He hasn't really contributed anything or taken any stances. Originally I thought more town... For example this post felt like he was actually thinking about the game:

On February 27 2014 16:33 Sylencia wrote:
Actually, tbh I don't think discussing scumreads influences much at all - scum probably aren't even targeting the most townie member tonight if they can get an inkling of who is a blue role.

So really, advocating discussing scum reads or not doesn't matter, but saying not to discuss (which in theory makes it harder for scum to choose an NK target) makes you look townier?

I think I confused myself writing this.


But on further inspection, not so much. Maybe slightly Mafia for just being so lackluster overall.

BH
I haven't really figured him out yet. His extremely tryhard start and then just disappearing into uselessness caused me to see red (I really dislike when someone gets less useful as the game goes on - it's typical for Mafia). But he could be just trolling for N0 or something. Null for now.

Oatsmaster
He's been pretty active and had a presence in the discussion, which I like. But some of his filter just doesn't make sense. For example, his (non-)reason to strongly townread BH and his attempt to "bait town" (why would only town attack a lynchbait?). Pretty null for now.

Sn0_Man (!)
I don't really like him so far. He's being so casually lurky and just suggesting stuff rather than pushing things forward:

He's basically a slight / medium scumread right now. He's never directly pushing his opinions and only suggests stuff indirectly or reacts to other posts. I don't like, at all. He needs to seriously step up if he wants to look like a townie. And he also needs some more pressure.

JJD also makes decent observations here:

in the counter claim scenario I don't think u protect either cop.

I saw no indication that you were talking about wifom for a no counter scenario. You said "scum literally can't shoot the [cop]" The only reason that would be true is because of a counter.

not to mention the fact that you know there will be a counter since you made this post before roles were sent:

Unless maf is hella lucky in which case the cop will be flipped and there's no way maf claim obviously. But by the same token even if maf hit the cop N0, the game still goes on its not like town straight up lose.

Now, if maf hit the DOCTOR N0, then shenannies start happening because town can't cop claim anymore (unless they cop-checked scum N0).

Alright this is working out. me likey.

How come I'm 99% and Artanis is lower? :D I think I'm harder to read than him... Or at least I'd like to think so.

I agree that Sylencia would be a good next check probably.

I actually think I'm just hindering scumhunting right now by waiting, so I'll go ahead and say it.

I'm the Cop and I checked Sn0_Man. With this I think the most likely scumteam is Oats+Sylencia. It's still possible that one of you (Artanis/JJD) would be Mafia, although I pretty heavily doubt that, so the optimal plan seems to check Sylencia/Oats and have the Doc heal me.

And I'd prefer Doc to heal me, of course It depends on him though. It's certainly best if he doesn't claim and chooses by himself, since then scum would have a high risk of targeting me, but also a high risk of NOT targeting me.

This was pure WIFOM meant to confuse scum into thinking that I was VT and noticed a blue tell from someone. Maybe it worked because they probably NK'd BH by bluehunting.

This was also meant for distracting Cop hunters:

It works both ways. Mafia can narrow down their targets, Cop can narrow down his targets. It's hard to say which one is more important.

Anyways, I suggest not checking me or Artanis. I'm pretty sure we're both town. I'm even fairly sure about myself.


This was a breadcrumb for checking Sn0_Man:

Sn0_Man (!) (notice the very different style of showing his name)

I didn't make any other real breadcrumbs in fear of being noticed. I just tried to play really carefree and appear as VT as can be. It seems like I was successful, although I was a bit worried if my overall slight nervousness and "hiding" my opinions were noticed. Apparently not.

I'll be going to sleep now and hopefully there will be another Cop claim by the time I wake up. I don't really see scum winning this anyways without a fakeclaim (and even then it'd be quite difficult).

Well, it seems like the game is basically solved already. Sylencia+Oats openly allied with each other in order to make a desperate last attempt at mislynching me today (and probably winning the game unless there's a lucky Doctor save). Sylencia is obviously Mafia and there's no way Oats would be 100% convinced I'm scum and try to get me lynched today if he were town. Luckily there are already 2 scum on the bandwagon so there's realistically
no way it'll succeed.

From my perspective, it would be best just to hammer Sylencia right now. Then I could probably check Oats just to be 100% sure. But I guess it doesn't really matter if one of us dies (unless there's a successful Doctor save) since the situation is pretty clear anyways and a town flip + another check would just make it even clearer. Sylencia's "check" might also reveal something (like it made Sn0_Man confirmed town today).

I'd be ready to move into night phase already.

I lied cause I wanted there to be a counter. I figured scum might not counter if everyone was all in on Xat being town.

Xat is 100% the cop because if he was scum he'd have no way to know Sn0 wouldn't be the actual cop which would immediately out Xat as the fake (cause he gave him a green check).

That logic make sense to everyone?


In fact, if I was scum with Sn0_Man, then it would make a lot of sense. But yeah, if I was scum and Sn0_Man town, then it wouldn't really make any sense at all (taking an unnecessary 25% chance of losing immediately for no real reason).

My original intention was to wait until scum had made their moves (making them think that I had checked BH or something). Then I noticed everyone just kept assaulting poor Sn0_Man so I thought it would be more constructive to focus attention elsewhere.

Besides, Sylencia had a classic newbie Mafia opening where he just talked about some "safe" policy stuff. And you, Oats, had a really weird strong townread on BH for the worst reason I've ever seen. So it's not even just process of elimination, but it helps.

I decided to claim today in any case unless my check or the Doc was killed. Even one green check helps a ton when it's only 6 players left, and I could just be healed easily.

What do you mean by this?
Who are the '3' townies?


Sn0_Man (100%) - also previously the most likely mislynch
Artanis (99.99%)
JJD (90%)

The percentages are all scientifically calculated.

I'll probably vote for no-lynch soonish, but there's no rush.

1) The discussion was getting sidetracked when everyone just attacked Sn0_Man (who I knew was innocent)
2) I was going to sleep and wanted to force a counterclaim in order to confirm the scumteam
3) Why not? It just helps town overall

.....What's the point in lynching now? Naturally I'd prefer to lynch Sylencia, but others can't be 100% that I'm telling the truth, so it's just the optimal play to no-lynch.

Sigh. I don't even know why I'm explaining this, but it's just overall beneficial for town to prolong the game. More information, better results. We can't mislynch so no need to risk anything. Sylencia is confirmed scum for ME but not for others. It's just optimal to no-lynch in this situation.

1) A real cop check
2) A fake cop check
3) A town flip

Maybe not all of those, but at least 2 of them. Each one of them is helpful overall.

Oh, and possibly a Doctor save. That would clear one townie as well.

Also, if we HAD to lynch today, then almost certainly Sylencia would be lynched. If I was pushing scum agenda, I would definitely push for lynching Sylencia right away (like you are pushing me). It's risky to no-lynch as scum since there's even less space to hide tomorrow.

Town doesn't gather information to reinforce their existing beliefs, they gather information to find the truth. If JJD or Artanis dies, then I can be certain that that player wasn't scum.

Actually one of the best scenarios would be if I flipped. In that case you and Sylencia would be pretty much confirmed scum.

##Vote No-Lynch

Artanis may decide when to end the day. I'm pretty much ready already.

JJD, I very much doubt that Sylencia would bus Oats. It would be somewhat possible if it was the other way around, but frankly, I don't see how Sylencia could carry the scumteam to victory. I don't really see how Oats could either, but at least it's in the realms of possibility.

I'm almost certainly going to check Oats, and I think Sylencia should do the same. It seems like we gain the most information if we both choose the same target (and specifically Oats).

Doctor should probably heal Sn0_Man. If Sn0_Man is the Doctor, he should probably heal Artanis or JJD. There's also a small chance that I might get hit, but since my death would pretty much nail the scumteam, I doubt it. IF I was NK'd, healing me would also pretty much nail the scumteam, since then both me and the Doctor would be confirmed. But it's a lot less likely than scum hitting someone else, so it's probably not the best choice after all.

Oats, you remind me a lot of myself in my previous game as Mafia where I relentlessly tried to stop town from mass claiming blue roles. Nobody believed me, but I continued to try, since a mass claim would pretty much end the game (the setup was quite OP too). You're doing exactly the same thing here.

Doctor should probably randomize his heal target by giving each player a chance of getting hit (something like 50% for Sn0_Man for example) and then going to http://www.random.org

Its just as reasonable to lynch one of them.

Regardless, we dont know who we lynch tmr until we get our fucking cop checks.

except one cop check is real and one is fake and you have no idea which one is which.

I reaaaally doubt scum wouldn't shoot. It would just give more time to town and it's highly unlikely that scum would be protected (and if town is protected, it would just have a negative effect on scum).

Oats hasn't even considered the possibility of Sylencia being Mafia, by the way. He just immediately started pushing me and continued the tunneling ever since. With weak or outright anti-town arguments, I might add.

What if some townie had a mental collapse and voted me? If you were town, scum would just insta-win. I don't really see any reason to immediately vote me and keep your vote on me all day. Unless you're Mafia, of course.

No-lynching now makes no difference and it loses a possible nolynch where its more beneficial later.

You claiming early in the day is indicative of a mindset that wants to claim, not townie..

Ah, yeah. Although lynching me would have just ended the game.

And it's pretty unlikely to be more beneficial to focus on gathering information AFTER a lynch rather than BEFORE a lynch (especially since no mislynches are allowed).

The problem is if we mislynch and lose because we lack some crucial information. You might even be town for example. Or who knows, maybe Sylencia is town and fakeclaimed to troll and scum didn't feel the need to fakeclaim (lol). More information is never bad.

Dunno. Maybe because it put less pressure on him (nobody can deny his check). Plus Sn0_Man would never have been lynched anyway (if one of me or Sn0_Man would have been lynched, it would have definitely been me - I would never vote for Sn0_Man but he might vote for me).

If he, for example, claimed a redcheck on Artanis, then Artanis would know that he's Mafia and it would be hard to defend against me+Artanis knowing that he's 100% Mafia. You couldn't really help him either in that situation. Now he can just AFK in peace while you defend him and he isn't in *that* hard of a situation.

It'd also be hard to explain why he would check someone else than Sn0_Man considering he only suspected Sn0_Man.

Pretty sure no lynch gives us more info anyways unless the doctor dies n0.

At the moment I've only got sn0 as his n0 contribution was pretty lackluster but that's pretty thin reasoning.


With that said, it may not have been the optimal check even so, but it's useless to wage a WIFOM war with scum.

I'd like to point out that Syl is advocating a no-lynch here yet didn't vote no-lynch when the day actually rolled around.


And he obediently followed whatever Oatsmaster said and ignored other players such as his greencheck and Artanis/JJD.

Actually, if Oats is town, then I'm the most likely NK (since then JJD could easily get Oats mislynched without my check). But that seems pretty unlikely.

I actually got another interesting idea, but I'll share it depending on the night actions. And it's not just WIFOM this time.

Actually one of the best scenarios would be if I flipped. In that case you and Sylencia would be pretty much confirmed scum.


It's a valiant attempt to gain town cred by trying to martyr, but if you think about it from his perspective it doesn't really show much towniness does it?

If he was the town cop, if he died, we'd gain +1 scum in me, but then town would have 66% chance to lose if the NK is the doc/non-protected guy. Doesn't really sound like a good tradeoff to me.

However, he's been pushing for a no lynch because it's apparently better to have us completely confused over the cop checks even more on day 2 if there are differing results. Basically he offers the self-sacrifice yet pushes no lynch.

That's scum yo.


Lolz. How does Sylencia go from thinking that it's beneficial for town to no-lynch to soon use my stance of no-lynching as proof of me being scum? This is such a radical and complete change in his views that it can't be real.


I'm using your stance of no lynch because you're saying "Hey, kill me because it's good" while advocating no lynch to gain town cred. Do you read?


Why exactly am I scum for either supporting a no-lynch or mentioning that my death would benefit town?


IT'S NOT THE FACT YOU DID _EITHER_ IT'S THE FACT YOU DID _BOTH_. MARTYR WITHOUT INTENTION TO FOLLOW THROUGH. DO YOU GET ME.


Hmm, I'm still not sure what you mean. Those are just both separate factual statements. Clearly
1) it's beneficial for town to no-lynch
and
2) it's beneficial for town if I die.
What's the connection? And what's scummy?

Well... I guess it's pointless to argue about this with you, but when something makes me look "super town", it's possible that it's simply true (Occam's razor) rather than a sneaky plan to collect towncred.

I don't know about that. For example, you can assume that I
A) greenchecked Sn0_Man and revealed that he was town since everyone kept accusing him and only him
OR
B) I took a 25% risk of scumclaiming AND removed the easiest possible mislynch only to collect some more towncred
I'd say Occam's razor gives the easy answer here.

that towncred pretty important bro


Not worth risking everything for. Towncred isn't scum's #1 priority.

If I die, here is one (unlikely) theory that could possibly be possible.

What if Oats is actually the Doctor? This is what got me thinking:

shits dont need no reasoning

Xata pls check me.


Maybe I'm just imagining things, but it felt like Oats both 1) wanted to be checked and 2) wanted to be checked by ME especially. This means that he basically thinks I'm the real Cop. Now, it could be just that he's scum and it's a slight slip, but it's a possibility that he's been the Doc all along and pretended to support Sylencia (and overall look bad) in order not to get NK'd.

I also don't like how JJD has pretty much been inactive in the discussion for a long time. That's part of the reason that got me to reconsider him being near-surely town.

I still think Oats is the most likely remaining scum - but it might not be impossible for him to be town.

Or... it could be that this was intentional by Oats and I get killed now.... Or it could be that I noticed something that really wasn't there... We'll see

(AFK a moment now)

GG Artanis, you definitely deserved to win the game. I would have probably lynched JJD as well in the end, although maybe there was a chance I would have figured it out with more time.

Yeah, I can't really blame you considering I gave Artanis a 99.99% townread

Btw this was the best part of ScumQT...

-Tossup between JJD (blue because massive focus on doc) and Xatalos (Looks to be fishing for a cop target)
-Eventually I decide to try and change the shot during resolution phase because Xatalos said he knew something but didn't want to tell it yet and I don't think he'd do that as a blue.

It was lucky I did that since I have a feeling we would have suffered a crushing defeat if I was NK'd N0.

Also surprisingly much thought went into choosing to kill me the next night. It paid off though.

Fun fact: Oats healed Artanis (not that I blame him, I might have done the same)

That's kind of funny, but also true, I guess...

The game actually takes a huge turn when cop dies n0. It actually gets really fun to me since it becomes all about actually scum hunting rather than playing the claim game.

Still sleep d1.
d2 doc claims and you reduce to 2/4 to hit mafia even with a doc counter claim its still 1/2 between doc claims or 1/3 outside of the claims. Very fun way to play the game especially when people are new to the situation.


That's pretty hard for town IMO. You can't mislynch even once and if there are several scummy-looking players, you (the whole combined remaining town) basically have to guess correctly twice in a row whereas scum only need to get lucky and hammer a mislynch once.

I think it was an interesting setup and pretty balanced. Maybe a bit swingy though (one choice of NK can have a HUGE impact on the game). But that's not necessarily bad IMO.
