In addition to the valid concerns Calix raised, I think it simply makes being vanilla town a lot less interesting in this setup when you're forced into a follow the cop on n0.

The super original version of this game had silent nights, which solves that problem while allowing the doctor to act. However the "allowed to talk" buff for town had to be countered somehow, hence the "doc inactive n0" nerf.

That being said, this is your setup, so your call.

Morning, I am the cop. Please protect me.

I am not kidding with the "I will quit playing if someone plays suboptimally" thing.

Just so we're all on the same page.

Optimal play for mafia is to counterclaim, if they don't they have a chance of losing the game outright, and even if they don't that significantly cuts down their chance of winning.

Optimal play for the doctor is to not claim and protect the cop claim he believes the most. Not that it really matters because it's suboptimal for the mafia to shoot the cop anyway, because that just confirms their counterclaim as mafia, making the game equally hard, with the added risk that in 50% of games the doc protects correctly and mafia just loses outright.

Optimal play for town is to play like townies and figure out which cop is real.

I will be checking into a pool of 5 people, 1 of them will be mafia (I won't check myself and I won't check the counterclaim). If any of you can sound enough like town so I can rule you out from being checked on n0 or n1, that'd be great.

We will never lynch on day 1, unless something amazing like mafia just being really bad and not putting up any kind of a fight and I get a red check, in which case we can move the game along. If even 1 single person is not on my side in the counterclaim wars, we just sleep, get another check for both the cops" and make the decision in a 3v2 lylo with 2 cops and 2 checks from each of them, that is the maximum amount of information we can have.

Although it would be fairly fitting for us to lose this game because town got unlucky and someone who's not a dumbass rolled cop

Jesus please

I cannot be town because I am not retarded enough to fake claim cop as town, it's terrible to do so.

Which brings me to, if this is a stunt, and you're trying to give me a hint that you're actually fake claiming by talking about it, just retract, because it's 100% useless to fake cop as town in this setup. So if you somehow are town and thought it was a good idea, stop RIGHT NOW. I cba dealing with a more complex game than I have to.

Like just so we're clear LS, if you don't retract in the next 10 minutes, I'm just gonna stop talking to you and focus on other things, as I will forever and always consider you scum this game after that. I will never change my mind even if I fucking check you and you come back green. (which I won't, because I'm not retarded).

hint to townies: If I am on a two man mafia team, I would never be the one to claim cop, because there is an inherent "lynch palmar" bias on TL Mafia.

But it's much more fun to talk about who to check. I'm thinking maybe Vivax? I don't like his face? It's stupid?

Let me say I believe ls here, just because I don't think he has the balls (no offense to ls) to go for the cc in Palmar like that.


This is the worst train of thought.

If mafia doesn't CC me they lose, instantly. It's nothing to do with balls, you just counterclaim, because it's what you have to do.

But ls (I'm sorry about last game), why the hesitation about saying palmar 100% scum and hedging like you were?

I have an opinion based on experience but I want to see what ls says.

Because sometimes there is pants on head town like sicklucker who would pull what palmar did as town and so I engaged with otheres and concluded that he's confirmed scum unless he's sicklucker.

I always play 100% logically except when I don't and you know that

aka, "checking if palmar is pants on head retarded" is, by definition, a pointless effort

Rip means scrum will shoot me because of this.

As for your other post ls I kinda believe you and seems more like your town mindset.

As for my thing well it's just a story about how we played something like this on voice and . Palmar did the same thing to me as it looks like he is doing here.

Do yeah plus what hi said earlier.

I sort of remember him doing it on voice but it been a long time plus I am a bit tired still. Can you explain the bolded a little bit better because I can't decipher what you trying to say there :\


Rit basically answered, earlier I said I think this is out of your play depth currently. (Basically)

@rit you did say that in another game. But do you really think that ls is laying here? Is it just a feeling of something from his posts.


for palmar it's in his wheelhouse as a considered play as both cop or mafia, for LS i think it's in his wheelhouse to snap make a yolo reactive play.


It's not just in my wheelhouse. If I had rolled mafia I would have done exactly the same (well I would probably have had my partner make the cc because I'm terrified of the "lynch palmar" bias but alas). But the outcome would be the same. If I'm on the mafia team, mafia does exactly what LS did.

Like it's 100% correct play as cop to claim, so I did it.

It's also 100% correct play as mafia to counterclaim, so I would have.

For now we leave the cop claims be and focus on finding the other scum. No I have no idea who it could be yet, nothing jumps at me particularly.

Palmar should both cop claims check the same guy or not?

Neither should claim who they're checking because mafia will prefer shooting the person checked if he is town. I kinda don't wanna explain more until after daybreak (you can remind me to explain on d1), but please just trust me that it's optimal to not announce my check.

from my perspective the cop check should always be on vivax or malongo.

palmar and ls have made themselves binary.
rels, palmar, and damdred all have a good read on me and 1 of them is guaranteed not mafia.
i have a soul read on damdred that is probably at least still partially functional.
i am confident i can read rels quite well

so that leaves vivax and malongo.


Can you explain what you meant here?

How did you not understand that? Like what is the confusion that caused you to ask that question?

Reason I ask is that to me that looks 100% straightforward, feels like a pointless question.
