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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Well that escalated quickly.

I say Palmar´s plan first day is good enough, we can´t risk 50/50 on a DT and we don´t really have much of a choice outside Palmar/LS.

I think LS is mafia cc poorly, his posting does´t really make sense if he was a green trying to get a hit. I mean the whole idea about first day claiming from palmar is getting a medic on him and making mafia gamble.

Rels looks green, already pointed out by ritoky.

If i was the DT id be checking Damred.

Just to let you know, I am the medic and Palmar is getting protected tonight.
I am claiming because its unlikely mafia will gamble a hit on me now that


If I was scum why would I risk counter claiming Palmar at all considering it is terrible for scum to go for the 1 for 1 trade which favors town?


Palmar tutored mafia why they have to CC, that's the why. If mafia don't CC you have the doc on the cop instantly, 2 mafia claiming VT, and 3 actual VTs

I didn't read that post before I CC'd O_o


look at me! I'm adorable and cute and wrong! heh, such lightningstrike, classic! woopsiedaisy!

This does feel like a fairly random post, although I could see mafia being too self-aware to literally suggest that they're not checked. The worst thing that can happen to mafia is that I check the non-cc partner tonight.

Like it's not a good post by any stretch of the imagination, but does mafia have the balls to straight up say "yo, don't check me palmar".

Nice, new page good time to post optimal play guides:

@Doc: Do not claim your role until lylo (don't claim in mylo). I'm going to assume Malongo is a troll, not a retard. If he is genuinely doc and mafia believes him, he basically reduced our chance of winning from super likely to very unlikely.

Also @Doc, tread carefully with wifom. TL players are retarded and like to go for homeruns. I know it's going to be tempting to not protect me (or LS, if you're bad at life) tonight, but you really, really should protect me. It's optimal play for mafia to shoot into the 4 people that might be doc (aka, not me or the 2 scummers), because they should be assuming that I'm protected, which is the reason I claimed in the first place.

Yes, if you play optimally, your protection is "wasted" because mafia will shoot into town, BUT, I've seen mafia go for broke often in this setup (basically gamble the doc will try a big play, and just straight up shoot the cop). I am going to super mad if I die tonight.

Oh and one more thing, because it's optimal play for Doc to claim in lylo, let's say malongo tries to claim in lylo "I was actually doc, look I claimed on n0", then that claim will hold no additional value over someone who plays correctly until d2. Like if this is some ridiculous stunt by a mafia malongo, don't let it sway you. Fine if he is still unclaimed on d2 of course he is the doc, but mafia will usually, if not always, cc doc on day 2 if the doc is alive.

Essentially, treat his claim as if it never happened, from now and until the end of the game.

complaining about me not posting on weekends as if that's a valid topic for discussion.

I'll catch up tomorrow, we sleep anyway.

And no, it's not optimal for me to not worry about the last mafia because it only takes one person to fuck it up. I'm going to make goddamn sure that we get this game right.

Gonna catch up on the game now.

I checked Rels because of this:

if I had to decide with 0 info Palmar would be the one I lynch. More his type to do this kind of play than LS


n0 doesn't have a lot of information, so I decided to check a guy I both know is a good player and also gave himself an out to support LS, who is mafia (I know he's not confirmed scum to you all, but he is to me).

I actually was gonna check someone else but changed my mind because I felt like I was being paranoid. Not gonna reveal who until day 2. But you will understand my reasoning once I tell you.

With regards to the other mafia, I'm currently thinking it's Damdred. Like I have a reason to think everyone else might be town.

Rels is confirmed town (checked by me).
LS is confirmed mafia

Malongo could be smart mafia, but he basically has erred on my side throughout the game. It's a really weird play to do if he's mafia. I'll explain why:

If Malongo is mafia, and keeps siding with me, that means I have 2 people on my side in a 3v2 situation tomorrow. LS is obviously going to be on another side, so that means ritoky/rels/damdred (2/3 will be alive, assuming mafia doesn't shoot themselves and doesn't risk shooting me because we have a doctor alive).

So he's then either betting on 2 townies being wrong (siding with LS and lynching me) and winning the game outright, or he's betting on us lynching damdred, and then himself winning 2v1 lylo with 2/4 of me, ritoky, rels and damdred alive with him. And if they don't hit the doctor tonight, town auto wins.

So it makes no sense for mafia to side with town. This means that Malongo is likely to be town, because no mafia is going to take a 66% chance to just.... auto lose.

This leaves ritoky and damdred. I think it's quite clear atm that I would prefer lynching damdred of the two. ritoky's effort and activity level is way higher, and for now that's good enough for me.

I am 100% counting on doctor protection tonight. like please don't fuck this up mr. doctor. If I die, we can lose this game.

Like if it isn't clear, I think the team is most likely:

LS + Damdred.

The far out options are LS + Malongo or LS + ritoky.

For LS + Malongo, I have to assume they can't do math and for LS + ritoky, the person who seems to be most interested in the game is mafia, which is always bad.

It's like a fairly straightforward read right now, but I'm gonna spend time reading ritoky and malongo again just to make sure. Also, unless we have a dumb shit for a doctor I'm going to have a red/green on one of rit/malongo/damdred tomorrow which will make things even easier.

oh I talked earlier about checking someone.

I thought about checking damdred n0 because I can never read him. ie: I think he's mafia every game and this one was no exception. However I got mad at rels for talking about me being possibly mafia and checked him instead because him not bowing to glorious town leader palmar felt scummy at the time.

I humbly admit I forgot Rels has a case of the bads.

that is why I thought for a moment LS confirmed himself by greening malongo until I realized that technically ritoky could be mafia in LS world.

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.

typical mafia talk "ILL EXPLAIN LATER BUT I HAVE GOOD REASONS I PROMISE". It's not that there are not good reasons. Reasons are very likely to be very good. But this line of thoughts ==> "I have a good reason but I'll disclose it later" is a scummy mindset very usually. Especially if the reason is very good.

you are retarded.

I didn't want to talk about the cop options on n1 because of several reasons:

I did not want a cross-check with scum (which I ended up getting anyway)
I did not want the scum to shoot my check
I did not want scum to panic and go for a big play (try to hope the doc is retarded and didn't protect me) on n1 if I announced I was checking scum
I was hoping LS might fuck up and check me (yes, this has happened, more than once in this setup. Mafia claims cop, then claims to check the real cop "to be sure").

Technically Rels is right, there is no new information to be gained in this game, the game is basically over. I know the mafia team.

So we might as well lynch LS today, however there is the little problem of Rels being pre-disposed to thinking I'm mafia because god knows what reason. It's the inherent "lynch-Palmar" bias.

We're all on the same page that if we lynch me we just lose the game today, right?

Like I want make sure you absolutely get this in your brain Rels.

Do you know anyone on TL Mafia that believes as much as I do that people just like lynching him? Every time I play, people mistrust me, precisely because I say smart things and.... therefore must be mafia? You know the very, very common "Palmar needs to defend himself on day 2?" thing? I've even had to defend myself after lynching mafia day 1.

People don't trust me.

There is NO WAY that if I was mafia, I would decide to be the one making the fake-claim. This just does not happen. Go ahead and think for a little bit, what are the chances of me coming into the mafia QT and going "hey, I think I'll cc. People tend to believe me and let me live so whatever".

I would never do that.

I don't really know how to defend myself. I've, in my opinion, played this game perfectly. I claimed (as is optimal), I got a green on d1, but did get a red on d2 (which is good), I've "solved" the game, and even my scumreading hunches have been "ok". I was right ritoky was town, and my analysis on Malongo and why he was town turned out to be correct too.

I'm going to eat, I'll be around. please be less stupid.

The night kill will be more interesting with Palm/lls alive since they can't kill the cop without saccing and the doc should probably protect you and then we have a kill between ritoky and me. Then the real cop checks mal me or rit.

So more than likely the game is over with a no lynch here to.

Idk just seems simple like that. Doc claims, good report checks. Game is over. And really what if I'm wrong on ls even if this is the 1% he's emulating really well and one ml and a lose I think.

If Damdred is not scum with you this is the point where he should have gone "OK you're right let's kill Palmar".

No let's be clear.

I didn't get fucked. Well, the only thing that's fucking me over is you, and specifically you. I don't really know where ritoky and malongo stand, but I have a lot more faith they are going to vote with me than you.

If I got "fucked over", it's rolling cop in a game with someone who is so afraid of me lying that he doesn't think, aka you.

My dream scenario is that you, LS and Damdy all vote me, with me, ritoky and malongo voting either damdy or LS, just so I can point and laugh at you for being the worst.

Second, if you disagree with me on Palmar tell me


I´d actually lynch LS. Funny thing is, in case we disagree we could have a no lynch scenario. Then we get 6vs2 when mafia actually has to hit one of us.

we can't get a no-lynch scenario.

If the game goes to 3v3 with me/ritoky/you on one side and reks/ls/damdred on the other, Rels will realize he's an idiot and move over, killing LS/Damdred and for all intents and purposes ending the game.

Unless he actually thinks me/ritoky are a scumteam?

yes I have done townie things, you just didn't read them
no he hasn't, he has fumbled around a bit which is par for the course for LS, but doesn't make him town

This is draining on a whole new level.

At least normally when people irrationally try to kill me for saying townie things and acting like town, I can play the mini-game of trying to figure out which one might be mafia.

Now I just.... know, there's nothing to solve for me here. Just hope for it.

Like if this day is so obvious Rels, why haven't damdred/LS voted me?

Think it's maybe because them doing so and no one jumping the hammer confirms me? Maybe they thought of that? Who knows? Mafia is such a random game wow...

hahaha

you get the difference right?

If they vote me right now, it's 3v2 with ritoky (who is town) holding the hammer. If they however wait and convince ritoky (or malongo) to vote me, they can blitz the hammer and end the game right there and then on their own terms. It's an advantage.

Damdred WILL vote me in EVERY SITUATION.

So assume damdred will vote me. The only important vote here is ritoky (and that stupid french guy).

That is wrong, because if you are town we still need his vote to lynch LS, sir you are digging you own hole.


No, you are wrong:

If you, me and ritoky vote LS, and damdred/rels/ls vote me it's gonna be 3v3. In that situation, mafia will quickhammer me, IF THEY CAN. But the problem is they CAN NOT, because they're both already on me. When Rels sees that he is town and no mafia moves to quickhammer me, it makes me confirmed town, and Rels will move over and hammer LS, ending the game.

The point is, I don't care about a 3v3 situation that requires damdred and LS to be both on me to make it 3, because they need 2 townies to kill me, not just 1.

Yeah i get that, but ritoky is the other piece i`d like to get first.

Sure, but even then he can't hammer anyone but me, and if he's going to do that there's nothing you or I can do to stop him, because the "kill palmar" faction has the 2 mafia + rels already.

sooo Rels, if ritoky comes back to the thread he's confirmed town to you too because otherwise he'd just hammer me. actually malongo is too now.

literally both malongo and ritoky can win the game right here if they're mafia by hammering me (3 votes on me), so they're both confirmed town

Everyone is confirmed town, LS and damdred team

That is very false too. Whatever happens, Palmar vs LS needs to be decided at some point, and more checks doesn't change anything.

wait right, yeah sorry.

Like I keep considering the game from the point of perfect knowledge. You are correct about the palmar vs ls thing.

that wasn't the problem. As koshi talked about pre-game you basically made a terribly unbalanced game and said "well scum have to play well".

I mean, I signed up for it, so I'm not mad, but don't think for a second that this was anything close to a balanced game. We did manage to convince one townie for a time (malongo) but we needed two because ritoky decided to be a hero and save rels. I thought about shooting ritoky or LS (just to go for the big play) but whatever.

Every mafia makes mistakes and I made some yeah. And we did get unlucky that LS was the cop because of simply how transparently he tends to play this game. We also got unlucky that the entire day 2 was on a weekend so I couldn't establish myself more during that time, but the weekend problems are something I just live with.

In the end, the host wanted to make a game where town won, so he made a town favored setup and succeeded.

For us to win, we needed good play on part of both mafia, and a mistake or two by town.

@ritoky, i don't do blue reads and I never, ever have.

A town Palmar should know that he does need to convince Rels, however hard that may be. Rels was confirmed town, and the nature of this game is that barring a bus, all of town needs to vote together to kill scum. A few posts later he had corrected himself, and nobody in the game really picked up on it, but it was a small slip in an otherwise convincing lie. Too bad for him that the real cop was quite obviously town :p

This is actually just wrong.

Let's assume I'm town for a moment, and the real scumteam is LS/Damdred, as is the situation is the same as I was trying to convince people we are in.

LS/Damdred/Rels all vote me
Ritoky/Malongo/Me all vote mafia LS

Here's what would happen, if I was actually town:

If there is 1 mafia on each wagon, the mafia that is voting LS would quickly move to vote me, ending the game in a scum victory.

There cannot be 2 mafia voting LS, because by definition if I am town, LS is mafia. however in rels world there can be

So if we ever reach the stage (3v3) with 2mafia + rels voting me, and 3 townies voting LS, Rels would have to come to the conclusion that he is voting alongside mafia.

Obviously the real case was that I was mafia and what would have happened is damdred would quickly move over and hammer LS, ending the game, which was obviously my endgame as Rels picked up on:

if ritoky is town and votes LS Damdred hammers LS and game is lost. That is what Palmar is pushing for


HOWEVER: There was no mistake in the worldview that I was pushing. Timeline of what would have happened if I was Town:

1) Rels, LS and Damdred (1 town, 2 mafia, vote Palmar)
2) Palmar convinces ritoky and malongo to vote LS (3 town votes)
3) Stalemate
4) Rels comes to the conclusion (without me convincing him) that one side must have 2 mafia, or otherwise the game ends.
5) Rels needs to make up his mind between the two possible mafia teams (palmar + ritoky) or (ls + damdred). This situation also confirms me town to ritoky.

So no, all I had to do was convince ritoky and malongo I was town, that would always lead to rels having to re-evaluate without me having to do anything to really sway him.

The 3v3 stalemate, in other words, proves that palmar+damdred is not a possibility, as if it is, we just win right there.

Are you trying to say that a 3v3 stalemate with 1 mafia in each wagon will convince Rels (when you can just break the stalemate as mafia and win)? I am a bit confused here.

No absolutely not. 3v3 with 1 mafia on each wagon, as you pointed out, is by definition not a stalemate, because mafia can just hammer and win.

that is precisely WHY the stalemate proves there isn't 1 mafia on each wagon (unless they trolling, in which case... who cares).

Oh yeah i get it now.

While you are right from YOUR perspective (if you were town) I am not sure you are right from Rels' perspective since Rels doesn't know if you are mafia or not (and wants people to not vote hastily).

So idk. If you were town, would you have tried to convince Rels the confirmed townie or not? Of course you didn't have to as mafia - but as town, would you or not? What would have been your best play - as town?

While technically you are correct Palmar, would you have - as town - "convince Malongo and ritoky and then Rels must see the light"? I am not sure you would.

I don't know, if I knew how I behave as town when I'm scum I'd be unreadable. No one is unreadable.

I would, I think, in both cases have been trying to convince Rels anyway. Probably in a slightly different tone/enthusiasm, but yeah.

I mean fair play town, basically everyone on town played pretty well, which in a setup that already favors town leads you to a win in most cases. Given the teams, I'm pretty sure that even if the game was balanced you would've had a higher than 50% chance of winning and we would have less, because of simply good play by the townies (especially Rels/Ritoky).

There are several interesting tidbits in the mafia QT:

a) I really did not want to be the one claiming cop

I have no idea Damdred

One thing is for certain, we have to claim cop right away. So unless you're here in the next few minutes I'm doing it.


Damdred wasn't around right then, so I went ahead and claimed.

b) I magically predicted precisely LS being the other cop:


It's probably going to fail hilariously, I will know that it's 100% the best play to claim cop and make an argument out of that, then the other cop will be some idiot who does something stupid and adorable and town will just believe him because a) palmar rolls 95% mafia, and b) stupid and adorable.


I'd like to think that if the doc couldn't act on n1, and thus we had freedom to not claim until we had a grasp of the game and maybe some town credit, I would have shot LS, precisely because of the fear that a transparent, naively sounding player that is unlikely to fakeclaim would happen to be the cop.

But to be honest, I probably wouldn't have shot LS

yeah, i agree the reason Acrofales says you "scumtold" is not a scumtell. It might be, but for different reasons he outlines, since logically there are no holes in your argument.

oh I fucked up a lot, I do every game as scum.

But it's usually not logic fuck ups. I mostly get caught on tone/enthusiasm/being wrong in the wrong way. I don't mess up mechanics and poe as scum or town really.
