who was your 2nd after Palmer? I'm assuming thrawn because of you town reading ritoky/Mz but just making sure. I am not sold on MZ he buddied up really fast to ritoky who vomited town all over the thread. But he had the early post about RNG that sounded town and the fact thrawn for all we know could be in the thread he never posts so reading him is difficult. I'm way more certain on Palmer though.


if thrawn doesn't play he's most likely mafia


Can i just point out i totally called thrawn mafia in sun for not playing...

Guess what...he was mafia...

Case closed.


even a broke clock is right twice a day

@ SlOOsh what are you reads if they aren't effected by the gruops?


Ouch. That insult... First you try to pocket me, now you are insulting me.
What are you trying to do here poof?

We should lynch into the clearest read cells first.

We win by hitting 3 scum - this game plays out more like Resistance than traditional mafia. Doesn't matter what quality of players we have at the end. Hitting scum early is best.

That said I think Cell A or B should be first - probably B due to higher activity. Then C, E, D.

ritoky is most sensible for coming up with a similar plan before me.

##Vote: ritoky

So do you have an opinion on these cells players then? Seeing as ritoky's plan is most similar to yours and his was based off of a lot of reads, do yours add up to his?

My plan has nothing to do with current reads?

How can you even have a plan if it has nothing to do with reads? You like ritoky's plan but his is based on reads. If you like his plan you therefore must agree with his reads?

Ritoky's plan understands the role of information. That's what I like and view as similar.

Who is running for mayor without a plan?


Also I missed this poofter:

What you think of ObiWan? Do you really like layabout?
I get this odd feeling they both came into the thread upset or something maybe because we already caught Palmer and the noose is tightening around people like thrawn/Shaopi and tambo.

I'm not joking around. I will go to any lengths necessary to make sure HF gets no more power than he absolutely must have as I cannot trust him even slightly. Obviously even if scum get mayor it's not the biggest advantage but if there's someone who could use it to his advantage as scum it's. HF. And I'm not taking that chance.

As far as 'best use' of mayor role, I didn't play in the last one but I would assume you remove the 'don't ant this group at LYLO' types first? What was the past mayoral strategy?


I see that you will be a thorn in my election. That being said, I do not mind your aprehension, it is justified! However, I stake my reputation on this game, I will not make this another loss like last time! I will divulge to you the secrets of this game.

There are several approaches you can take:

A) The first lynches will be the ones you think are fairly obvious and will net town a few points.
B) The first 1 or 2 lynches will be coinflippy as you get rid of useless points of contention.

I suggest going with A) with the caveat that you let the talkers stay in the game to figure it out and not leave the weakest people till last.



Anyone that can possibly make a cell order when almost half the people haven't spoken yet is crazy.

It is upon that very fact that I'm basing my cell order. Is my plan bad? If so, how?

Okay first post I just want to get some of the thoughts I was having before the game out in the open. If this doesn't run on too long I'll also share some of my notes reading the thread so far. A little background on me first since since none of you have played with me before. I am experienced in mafia but I have never played a setup like this before. It's been a couple years since I've played forum mafia so maybe I'm rusty, maybe I'm well rested. I am not a smurf.

First I want to talk about urgent situations; the election process and determining group order. I am open to being elected as mayor. This post is going to inform you of the processes I have considered using to select group order, if I were mayor. I don't know who I'm voting for yet. It isn't important to me that I be elected. It is however important that the person I vote for comment on these processes I have come up with.

I have already seen some comments about the role of the mayor not being important. I don't agree with those comments. This is an important decision. Mayor, as I see it, should be a tool that town uses to take early control and set the pace for the rest of the game so that mafia have to play by the rules town lays down.

So, how does one as mayor determine group order? I have come up with several scenarios:

- Lynch lowest "contributing" groups first. This has already been mentioned once in the thread. Nominations, filter length, post count, meta, etc. could all be used as metrics for "contribution." High contributing people will have the most content to analyze in the end game, so it is beneficial to keep them around longer. More data is better.

- Analyze groups as though all three members could be mafia and lynch groups with "most mafia members." Conversely analyze groups as though all three members could be town and lynch groups with "least town members." Compare the two lists and check for differences. If three of the five mafia members could be in a single group, which group would you lynch first?

- Everyone picks one "most likely to be mafia" from each group and compares. Sort according to who gets picked most.

- "Easy" first. "Easy groups" meaning groups where there are two people working together against someone.

- Lastly, my favorite option, all of the above. More data is better.

I propose either to the mayor, or possibly as mayor, that we use a combination of these processes for the group selection procedure. Once group order is determined, we can decide who to lynch in each group. I have brainstormed the following situations:

- Lynch for single "mistake"/"tell"/"scummy post"; important to use heated rhetoric and pressure of spotlight in this situation.

- Lynch because agenda shows anti-town/pro-mafia pattern over time. Either voting pattern, tone/posting style, on the wrong side of arguments, etc.

Next post if I can get around to it tonight is notes and practical applications.

Like I said, half the people haven't spoken yet. The only possible cell you could have a general idea about is the wave/palmar/poofter one because all the people have spoken and even then it's a reach at best until they have all spoken more. So that would be possibly 1, just 1 group, where you would put them at the start to get a point for town. The rest of the groups are so incomplete it is effectively worthless wifom to post an order when you have no idea what's going to happen.

The best you can do is outline what plan of action you are taking and then as a team we make an order together, right near the end of the day when we have as much information as possible.

If three of the five mafia members could be in a single group, which group would you lynch first?


These are the two I have problems with. First of all, if you lynch groups with the lowest contribution you are essentially taking a shot in the dark because there is a lot less to look at when lynching that group. If this happens with 2 groups in a row then we end up already being 2-0 down and some easier to read people might be at the back of the line because they contributed a lot but ended up being mafia.

Secondly, if you analyse the groups in terms of "most mafia members" then you're essentially saying that the general consensus is that nobody has any idea who is mafia within that cell thereby making it another shot in the dark. Least town members is kinda alright-ish but also will end up in probably many meh moments.

I was in that game......... -.- The ordering was something we decided as a group at the end of the day and it WOULD have worked out well if rayn didn't get wasted and fucked up the order. It would have followed the procedure I stated whereby we lynch the easy +town points first.

Im not sure how I feel on sloosh's bw of ritoky reads/not reads?

Idk ill read more into that later.

I like batsnacks first post, though Im probably gonna have to reread it a few times to understand everything he is saying.

As of now, i think im off for the night. Super tired. If yall have any questions for me, or about my cell, let me know.

Right now, i really dont like layabout. He came in with obvious posts, says he's going to look at cell 1, and then disappears.

Bleh.

And i need mderg to post before i can make a for sure read.

Later guys.

Well I was going to get at the day 1 cell. Palmar + Sentinel + Coag. Essentially (as I saw it when I read) was that the town wanted to lynch to clear inactives, basically adopting the "who don't we want at LYLO". As evident from how it went down, even had Palmar been town, it would have been a terrible cell as mafia have a larger than normal influence compared to traditional games.

By having an "active" group such as cell B go forth, there is bound to be interaction and a much better shot at hitting the right lynch.
