Obviously I was talking about after I decided to let Superbia pick CPR.

For the last ~12 hours I've been saying I was going to take one of Link, House, or Moriarty.

Unless mafia is already given roles that are really good, in which case they have no reason to hide/mess around with roles anyway because duh.

How on earth did Damdred get Nigella?


no one bothered to read the hard explanation of nig. its rly good

super weak trust is better than no trust at all.

Also I understand kei's frustration not sure it is alignment indicative though

Kind of bothers me that rels was all ancy about me picking watson because he thought i was scum then Palmar tells me to pick holmes and he is fine with that plan although still thinks im scum.

Not exactly sure what the big deal is about me.

I'm working 18 hour days because people quit. I've already said I'm being lazy today and trying to figure out what I picked.

I didn't read any of the game from that point until I posted again and saw kitas plan and his suggestion for a role for me was a good one. A trade for mafia early is always good.

Now if the bumbling morons in thread can say why I'm more blah than others especially when half the fucking game knows I've been off my rocker wanting to ducking roll scum for the past 10 games. So fuck you guys if you think id be so half ass as scum, like really go sit on it and rotate.

I'll ser you after deadline and if anyone counterpucks me and I somehow get a decent mysterious role in coming for you and will make life hell no matter what my read is on you. Because I will fuck you up.

Outside of kita and Ceph(your interaction with him gave me town v town vibes), this actually doesn't look bad.

Why kita? I know you had some disagreement over the role assignments but he's arguably doing the most work with it besides you.


Were do all these weak ass scum reads on me come from?
"I don't like his tone..."
"I think I read like a post I didn't like..."
"He is meh..."

Can you at least throw me a decent reason?

Damdred if you're going to be busy and you're not mafia then I'd appreciate it if you took something relatively low-impact but still useful like vanilla doctor.

Yay or nay?

I allowed myself to be dicked around by ff because it was the date I got married on, but I won't be dicked around because I'm not able to be here when I am legit one of the stronger town players I. The game and these fear reads on me are pathetic

The reason is quite simple. If we assign everyone roles, mafia can just freely pick a role that wasn't assigned to them. The entire point of having ffa/check players is for them to take roles that SHOULD have been taken before them to PROVE the players before them actually took the roles they were meant to take. It's a failsafe.


Let me show you why this is so, so, so wrong.

Palmar's plan:
Koshi, damdred, and kitaman27 are free for all picks that are instructed to pick a role above them in the list to PROVE the players above us actually take a role that they want.

Result:
Koshi, damdred, and kitaman27 wind up as Mysterious challengers because they were idiotic enough to pick a role that was already selected. BUT AT LEAST WE VERIFIED 3 PICKS, RIGHT GUYS?

Kita's plan:
Koshi picks his assigned power role
damdred picks his assigned power role
kita picks his assigned power role

Result:
Between those three roles we now have
1x watcher
2x tracker
2x protection
1x nuke
1x secondary lynch
1x parity cop
1x alignment cop

So what's more important, all those abilities or verifying that 3 people above us took the roles they promised (which has no alignment indicative information. Even if a player takes their assigned role, they still could be mafia)

On January 21 2016 07:21 Palmar wrote:
If we have no failssafes, mafia can just pick whatever the fuck they want. Essentially, my plan is pointless.


No they really can't. For a mafia player to "pick whatever they want", that means that the role can't already have been chosen by another player. If they pick above another player, then they are denying the player below, that player claims and we have a combination of role checks, the kitaman27 role, and trackers to figure out who it was.

So that leaves the list of roles that go unpicked. They're almost all trash:

Hero - Picked by VA anyways
Puppeteer - Useless for mafia
Dimensional Lemming - Useless for mafia
Speaker for the Dead - Useless for mafia
Artanis - Useless for mafia
GreYMisT - Useless for mafia because it only delays things for 12 hours.
Janitor - 1 shot use and can't be used on the lynch. Not a high priority
Copycat - Not a priority
Tommy the Fireman - Okay mafia role, but not a
Psy - If he uses his ability, it confirms he is in the game and we get him by role check, track or kitaman27
Alchemist - A delayed 1 shot vig? meh I suppose it is useful for mafia, but not a huge priority pick to justify breaking the plan
Yu Narukami - Kinda useful role, but I suggested that it be picked in my post so it wouldn't be open

Knight Artorias - Strong mafia role

Essentially there is one mafia role that is worth grabbing and we have sicklucker's honest check on that one. Furthermore, since all role selections are basically public, you are responsible for your actions. Say the tracker decides that they are going to "undermine" your plan and grab a different role. They still gotta say who they visited each night, their tracker results etc. So essentially lie each night about their action. It's not worth the mafia risk.

I basically can't be arsed arguing this, I am out of energy trying to get people to be not stupid.

Kita is very likely mafia because he's not dumb enough to think his version is an actual improvement.

Kita's additions completely undermine my plan.


The fact that you're trying to take my clearly superior plan and justify it as a reason that I'm mafia is preposterous. Earlier in the game you mentioned that town's objective is to maximize the amount of blue roles we get. Yet here you are pushing a plan where there players are doing "honest checks". When I edit your plan to maximize the blue roles it makes me scum? That's laughable.

Palmar is mafia
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.
