I pride myself on my bipartisanship. There's no reason fascists and liberals can't work together in harmony.

Hi everybody! Individual liberty and social reform is good and stuff.

I'll promise to remember to vote. That alone should vault me into your top 3!

I've said it once and I'll say it again. Lord Buckethead is the true people's champion. Who do you guys trust more to stand up to a fascist dictator? A bunch of petty politicians or an intergalactic space lord? Sure, he will probably enslave the human race afterwards, but you got to take a chance sometimes.

Enlighten us on the general strategy?

Everything I've seen is just like really generic advice like tell the truth or look for the players with a motive to elect Hitler lol.

Why not go the resistance route and just roll with the guys that are providing positive results? Sure a facist policy isn't going to end the game right away, but wouldn't it be better to ride the initial liberal policy pushers as much as possible until they give us a reason to doubt them?

Can you please explain, what thinking process led you to asking this question?

It's that things stay more simple if we can trust the first governments. It's actually I thought, let's just elect kita but he's super hard to read I think, so he can mess things up early and we can't trust anything that's going on later because we don't know if he lied about policies or not.


lol I read this like 5 times and I still can't tell if you were arguing in favor of me being elected or against me. Based on your later posts it seems like you were in favor, but here it seems like you were outlining a reason why I shouldn't be chosen. Which way was it?

He's sort of a nice guy.

I'm kind of tempted to guess that you are fascist and Kita is hitler.

I'm also a shitty scum hunter though so meh. I like this format because people can't kill me very easily.


What makes you jump to the most likely scenario being that we share alignment? From my view, I'm looking for players that are trying to emulate liberal play by buddying up, as opposed to showing their cards right off the bat. prpl may fit that bill for trying to get on my good side, but I'm not sure yet.

Rels is another one who I'd prefer to avoid as Chancellor round one, but that's mostly a gut read for his generic post about wanting more time to solve the game that kinda seems like an attempt for liberal cred.

Krogan looks pretty good so far I'd say. Even if we don't pass his government, he should be considered later on.

What makes you think that it's better to elect separate governments as opposed to rolling with a government that provides positive results? It's obviously not a perfect plan since it depends on the draw of the cards, but if we get lucky with the first group we could manage to bang out a whole bunch of successes.

We could still alternate two groups of successful nominations, but that's a bit trickier to pull off. I'd still like to hear rayn's explanation for why the plan was flawed though.

Let me just say it this way:

If I was Hitler and I saw someone say "Maybe we should just elect Grackaroni" I would assume that guy was a fascist.

Maybe I'm just way overthinking it but look:
what if grack is in fact Hitler and sets this up, so the fascists can say exactly that and it appears as they made a joke.


[/QUOTE]
Would that be any reliable though, anybody could say it, and Hitler would have no way to find out he's wrong? Also is letting Hitler know who you are that important? I feel like Hitler wouldn't want to take podshots at people anyway, so people would vote for him later on [/QUOTE]

The key thing to watch for is if a player specifically calls out another player as Hilter in a way that isn't pushing suspicion onto that player. The fascists want to communicate with Hitler, while making him look good in the process. Joke posts are probably the best way to do this. It's tough to say whether the grack/conversion thing is an actual communication attempt (probably isn't to be honest), but stuff like that should be discouraged from this point forward.

The main point is that sooner or later some goverment is going to draw 3F so like.... "unsuccesful" government doesnt always equal suspicious. Nor does succesful government equal townies since scum in some cases have incentive to elect liberal policies.


Eh if players are electing liberal policies, I'm fine taking that risk as long as they keep producing good results and don't look sketchy otherwise. I think I see what you're saying with the 3F stuff, but that seems like something we can evaluate when it comes up. Either way, it looks like we're forced to elect separate people based on the rules of the 8 player setup.

It sounds like we're talking about different situations. I'm saying roll with the good guys as long as we can and once we hit a fail, re-evaluate if it's a 3F or sabotage. Electing Hitler won't need to be something to worry about as much before that because we're not at that threshold. Once we do cross that threshold, it obviously becomes a bigger concern.

Obviously subject to change, but I'm leaning towards yes with krogan/rayn.

rayn's latest post makes sense from a perspective of wanting to maximize the reads early and krogan seems generally trustworthy so far. Passing to grack doesn't interest me that much since he went after the long hanging fruit early on.

Whether that's optimal or not, I'm not quite sure but I do like doing it. Considering we can get RNG'd and get a F/F/F draw (unless this is impossible, someone correct me please if it is), I don't see why we're in any rush to elect this particular government.


Eh this explanation is a lot more scummy now that you lay it out. It would be one thing to ask for more time by failing a few and then eventually passing, but now that I think of it, a policy to reject all governments is really anti-town.

On our first draw FFF would be like 24% (someone check my math?), as opposed to a 65% chance (11/17) of a fail from a single draw. That's really, really far from optimal.

I'm not really a big fan of Rels. He down voted the first pair after wanting more time for discussion, but hasn't contributed anything meaningful himself.

That being said, none of the alternatives inspire a ton of confidence. I'd ask you to reconsider me, but that's your call.

This would be my ranking of trustworthiness at the moment.

happykrogan
raynpelikoneet
byj
prplhz
Grackaroni
Conversion
Rels

I have krogan slightly higher than rayn because I think the president slot has more wiggle room to send a double F through and get away with it, but I'm not entirely concerned about either. I'm always paranoid about playing games with rayn since I can't ever think of a situation where it worked out well when I trusted him, but even with the few things that I've disagreed with him so far, there don't seem to be inconsistencies in the logic. byj is kinda weird because it doesn't seem like he really cares about how he looks, which I think typically points to liberal. I had the same initial feeling about Conversion, but then I didn't like his explanation about the fail plan and he's got this sarcastic attitude with some of his posts that feel a bit manufactured. prpl is in the same boat as byj as someone who hasn't really said much, but I'd say prpl is worse because he's putting in slightly more effort to show he cares with a few random questions that don't really lead anywhere and a couple of wishy washy posts. I've already spoken about Rels about why I think he's a baddie. Grack I've gone back and forth on. On one hand, he didn't really seem invested in getting elected D1 and even if I he's wrong about his suspicion of me, I can see a viewpoint where a townie thinks that, but on the other hand, I didn't like his early game posting about prpl and picking Rels or conversion seems like the easiest path to rig the deck as president and then pass blame to your scummy looking choice. It does seem unlikely that grack would want to pair himself with another facist early on in the game however so I probably need to do some adjusting of my bottom three, either by moving grack up or replacing conversion/rels with someone else.

Please explain hiw does grack pass blame to someone who got FF to choose from?


It would be a LFF, he removes the L and then claims a LF pass for a 50/50 scenario with a fascist pass. I suppose he would have an alternative option of claiming he received FFF in that case.

I specifically said that I don't think they would be scum buddies in that scenario. That list would be my current level of trust, but I highly doubt that the bottom 3 are correct.

He would be picking a liberal player that the majority of the game thinks is facist in that case, hence an easy way to pass the blame.

What's your order at this point?

I think facist grack + liberal Rels or facist grack + liberal Conversion could make sense, but isn't as likely as liberal grack + facist rels or liberal grack + facist Conversion. I guess it's a moot point, since I would fail a group with rels or conversion regardless of gracks involvement.

I could maybe get behind grack and prpl. I'd have to think a bit more about that. What makes you put bjy on the same level as Rels? I think Rels has actually has a scummy post with the more time stuff, as opposed to bjy whose only post is calling me out for trying to connect to Hilter, which is totally wrong, but not inherently scummy imo.

Yeah, if he is a liberal he definitely needs to step it up activity wise because we're going to need to elect a suspect looking player at some point simply due to the term limits and it's unlikely a government with him would pass at his current rate.

Grack one is he one where he says prp could be scum and kita Hitler.


If that's the case, is Rel's thought process even consistent? From the way I read your filter, you don't actually think scum prpl was trying to contact me.

What's your opinion of prpl? I don't see him mentioned in your filter. Since you failed the pair yesterday, but are willing to pass today's team, does that mean that your original policy is no longer necessary?

If you're voting yes today and you're on board with selecting rayn or krogan next cycle, does that mean you think the facist team is myself/Rels/byj?

No you dont. You group Rels/Conversion both into the same category and dont come to any conclusion. Thats different from what i said.

You do the same thing in one of your later posts too.


I think the difference is that your argument is that grack with Rels/Conversion cannot make sense in mind, where as mine was that I'd update the list if that scenario where grack pairs himself with one of those players became reality. He threw it out there for a little bit, but settled on prpl eventually, which I don't think is enough to disregard the possibility completely.

Do you think there is a strong enough argument to completely eliminate the possibility of grack + Rels or grack + conversion at the moment? I don't think so.

Overall though, I think my trust ratings are better suited as tiers.
tier 1: krogan/rayn (myself)
tier 2: byj/prl/grack
tier 3: conversion/rels

In all seriousness, I like to always pass the first go, in any similar game like mafia when possible, to reveal where votes went and talk about that to get more information and give me one more round to work with, since drawing a random card as a policy isn't the worst thing ever, neither is adding one to the election tracker early on.

Whether that's optimal or not, I'm not quite sure but I do like doing it. Considering we can get RNG'd and get a F/F/F draw (unless this is impossible, someone correct me please if it is), I don't see why we're in any rush to elect this particular government.


I'm not actually going to just be anti-liberal for the sake of it. I think enacting governments is a good way to get information, especially if we are up one right now and have a guaranteed +1 liberal policy barring any unlucky draws, or if one or both of krogan/rayn played us and passed a liberal card, in which case we won't be incredibly behind and it'll give us a look into getting more information as liberals.

In terms of who's the most liberal in my eyes (as in, I'd elect them Chancellor), it'd be rayn = krogan > everyone else, even if I'm salty about krogan doing nothing but calling me a liar just from how government 1 went.


Fair enough. Do you have any opinion of prpl specifically?

Could you give me the spark notes version of who you view as facist and more importantly, why? If you're feeling better about conversion and would pass a grack/prpl team, I'm struggling to get an idea of who you think the bad guys are.

I don't understand. How is downvoting a government not preserving status quo?


Because he's passing up an opportunity at president, which I would think he would want as a facist.

Do you disagree with my reasoning that I want information, which is the primary reason I want to enact this government?


I disagree because literally any two players will give us information, considering only krogan and rayn have been elected and they can't be chosen. Doesn't it make more sense to get information AND vote for two players that have the best chance of passing a liberal policy?

Now that you've read through prpl, does that change your mind about the vote?

I think you made a solid point about prpl being "not ready to post.", which doesn't really make sense if you have something important to say unless you're laying a trap, which doesn't seem like prpl's style. I'm still pretty conflicted about whether I'm going to vote yes or no on this one.

It doesn't look good, if that's what you're asking. I think if you're liberal that you need to start posting or nobody is ever going to consider nominating you and that puts town in a really sticky situation because we'd need to identify the exact four liberals due to the term limits.

My new tiers for trustworthiness would be:

tier 1: krogan, grack, rayn
tier 2: prpl
tier 3: byj, conversion, rels

I think grack rejecting his own presidency is rather town looking considering the decent opportunity to pass FF. Now that byj has started posting more, I think he looks a lot worse by purposely withholding his reads and asking random questions that don't seem like they serve a purpose.

I'm going to vote down the conversion team. For my presidency, I'd likely nominate krogan who I have a slightly better feeling on, compared to rayn, but I still haven't decided for sure.

You show absolutely no concern regarding whether grack has nominated a town looking player. When I ask you about your opinion about prpl, you show that you haven't even looked at him. When you actually do give an answer about prpl when I asked you twice, you point out a bunch of things wrong with him and pass the team through for "information". Your explanation about why that was a good thing looks scummy to me.

I guess there's a scenario where that could make sense as a Hitler play, but I'm not even close to entertaining that at this point in the game.

Anyone notice how Conversion was happy to play a back seat role until now? Suddenly it's his turn and he starts attacking the people who are questioning his alignment. I think that shows that he's more invested in getting elected as opposed to figuring out the game the previous couple of cycles, where he simply went with policy votes.

Aww don't get angry. This is supposed to be for fun and we're in a good spot if you are indeed town. If you're facist, well that's how the cookie crumbles, but then again maybe you're faking anger in that case lol.

Am I correct in assuming that you still town read krogan, even if his arguments against you aren't valid in your mind?

I heavily disagree with your byj read early on. As i already said people who do scummy stuff are usually scum, and there is simply no reasonable explanation why someone wouldn't even try to properly play the game as town, espicially when asked to contribute.


Yet it happens all the time and you know it. I'm not saying it's good town play, but there are just as many examples where town players do absolutely nothing, as there are mafia. From my personal experience, newbie mafia players go out of their way to look good and comment on stuff that doesn't really matter within the first 24 hours of the game because they're overly excited about looking good, where as I felt that byj didn't fit that mold. It was basically a heuristic, until he started posting content to make it easier to determine what his alignment was. Now that he has posted more, I tend to agree that he doesn't look very good, but I stand by the original thought process.

tier 3: conversion/rels

If you really think Conversion and Rels are mafia then why the hell is Grack in the tier 2? Because it would simply be the most retarded thing i have ever seen if Grack wanted to originally nominate two of his scumbuddies, one of which is Rels who is considered scum by almost every single person in the game. If you actually think Conv/Rels are tier 3 then Grack should always be town for you, and just made two bad reads at the start of his presidential turn. Once again we go there; you don't make any hard conclusions when you actually could make those, if you don't think your tier list is accurate the why are you even making one?

The above happened before Grack wanted to pass on his presidental turn and you apparently townread him for it. You have also taken "pot shots" on purplehaze yet it seems like none of his answers gets you anywhere regarding him, well i'd say that's the case with you on others aswell but that is possible you could do that as town since there isn't much from a lot of players in the thread (aka anyone who isn't me or krogan).


This point is moot since I think I misread grack on day one and it's pretty pointless to try to argue a scenario that I don't think is likely, but you do realize that facist players can lie right? Grack threw out the idea of nominating conversion and rels, but he didn't actually nominate them, which is far more relevant in my mind. Just like a game of mafia, scum buddies can pretend to be suspicious of each other, but at the end of the day if they're not willing to vote each other then it really doesn't matter. Plus, I think it's a disservice to yourself to try to identify the entire scum team at the start of the game. I went with the players that I thought looked the worse and based my voting criteria on excluding those. There was also the Grack + conv Hilter breadcrumb thing from day one that was sitting in the back of my mind, but like I said, I don't think that's the case.

You should know something is wrong when you have your reads and make them into a list, which should get you into reconsidering and / or trying to find more evidence. You do neither, and instead just post the list.


You say I don't reconsider, but I did reconsider if you compare my first list to my latest list. My reads on grack and byj have indeed changed. Either way, I don't think we're that far off with our current reads, except maybe conversion, so I don't need you to think of me as confirmed town as long as things continue to stay on track.

Do you seriously think Grackaroni had the thought that he'd backpedal from nominating Conversion? Because i don't think that's a possibility given how strong he implied his read was (i agree Rels was never gonna get nominated most likely). Because if that was the case this would have happened:
1) Grack thinks: "okay i put my scumbuddy Conversion up there" (at least i agreed with his townread on Conversion back then)
2) "Well this is a super terrible thing to do because Rels isn't gonna be nominated anyways so i have to WAIT FOR HAIL MARY AND CROSS FINGERS THAT SOMEONE COMES AND TELLS ME TO NOMINATE SOMEONE ELSE"
3) rayn vouches for prplhz -> "THANK GOD I WOULD HAVE DONE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE FULLY KNOWING I DID ONE IF RAYN DIDNT DO THAT"

really kita? really? that's not how mafia plays.

It does seem unlikely that grack would want to pair himself with another facist early on in the game.


I did say that it's unlikely in that exact post. Like I said, I wasn't entirely concerned about having the mafia team solved day one to have a scum read on both grack and conversion at the time. I don't think a facist grack necessarily had to anticipate someone else throwing out the prpl read. I think he could have nominated myself or prpl himself, but clearly you think otherwise. Either way, we're trending too far into hypothetical scenarios.

Yes, it's usually fine to sheep another player if you think they are town, as long as you develop reads of your own eventually.

That being said, I do find it weird that you seem to lean fascist on Conversion and say that you don't want to read me until tomorrow, yet are planning to pass this one through.

Do you still think he was lying? If not, why would a town player have motivation to lie in that case? If not, what changed your mind?

Cool.

There was at least one facist who has been elected so far, which means they either chose not to sabotage or didn't have an opportunity to sabotage. I think the facist player would usually choose to sabotage if they have the opportunity, unless they are Hitler.

Unless things really, really spiral out of control it seems unlikely that we'd hit 6 facist policies. The path to victory seems to be pretty straight forward and we have a dt check as a safe guard for when we eventually hit FFF. If we get a town result, that gives us a decent way to avoid Hitler as chancellor for half of the elections.

Either Krogan or Grack for me this cycle. I'm going to re-read one more time before I decide to see if I can figure out who the elected facist might be.

So assuming everyone is telling the truth, with 6F and 2L left in the deck:

35.5% FFF
54.5% FFL
11% FLL
0 % LLL

Which gives me a 65% chance of passing a liberal policy to Krogan like you say. If he passes liberal, then we're at 4 and it's pretty much trivial playing things out from there.

If I get FFF, then that means 3F and 2L is left in the deck, which allows us to follow through with your plan. Either we win the game outright or Krogan can check me if we get unlucky and reach a second facist policy. Then I can serve as Chancellor for every odd cycle since it would guarantee we're not electing Hitler and I'd have a town check on me to prove it. The only different from your plan that I'd suggest is that the player with the town DT check should be given the gun to shoot Hitler if we make it that far.

The only flaws I'm seeing are 3F, followed by 3F which would be really unlucky (10% * 35% = 3.5% I think?) or if someone was lying about which card they discarded, which still puts us in a solid spot with this plan since at worse, we're 1 card off.

Basically your town ppl are;
you, me, conversion, rels, kitaman

right?

No I'm pretty close to the same page as Rels.

I think the most likely team is Prplhz/Kitaman/HK

Can you elaborate here a bit more.
Why does Conversion's gov pass if this is the case? Or even your gov?


lol I got crucified for suggesting a Grack + Conversion team, yet HK said that he was going to nominate me about 5 times, before he ended up with rayn. That team really doesn't make sense.

Plus each of the last two votes reached majority with a single vote being able to swing things. On day two, I announced that I was passing your grack + conv team and then krogran decided to switch his vote to pass afterwards as well. There is really no reason for us to send it through.

Plus there was the whole prpl throwing my name out at the start of the game for no good reason thing, which I think shows that it's pretty obvious we're not buddies either.

We downvote next 3 (if you = town) -> 3F -> you get to choose president there

Now if this happens, we will re-evaluate there.
If there is a liberal passed anywhere on the path we re-evaluate there.


Do you think that's better than passing a Kita/Krogan pair with a 65% chance of a liberal card getting to Krogan and then doing a single draw rotation afterwards if we get FFF since that would leave the deck at 3F, 2L and then we can follow through like planned?

I think Krogan deserved the town cred from the first election where he had the opportunity to pass FF and claim FFF, where as you had less of a choice. If I had the opportunity now, I'd choose you over krogan since you're still trying to find a path to victory and he has kinda dropped off, but I still think you're both town regardless.

I'm going to go ahead and choose grack. I have a pretty strong town read on him and I think the plan to put the DT check in rayn's hand is a good one. If we're lucky, we'll just hit the 65% liberal policy chance on my presidency and the game will kinda be over anyways.

Rels is obviously going for a hail marry with that team that makes little sense and he showed very little interest in the game early on to suddenly think he conveniently "solved" the game.

Why is it not possible krogan drew LLF?


It's possible, but I don't really think it's likely considering I think he's town. Aside from it being half as likely statistically and making grack's LLF draw even less likely, there isn't a great reason to lie about it since he's passing LF either way and you could get caught later in the game, where as the return is a bit of extra cred that people may not necessarily care about. Krogan has looked rather townie otherwise with the way he went about choosing his first chancellor and has a good voting record.

That's a good thing since it would mean we would be at 5 liberal and 1 facist.

And if we get really unlucky with the 2 liberal cards at the bottom of the deck then we have the DT fallback, but I think it's like 3.5% chance of happening if everyone was truthful with their draws.

That would be FFF, followed by FFF or FFL with a facist chancellor. It's more likely that we just win outright, but meh.

There is a 35.5% chance regardless of who is elected.

You can change your vote, but you really shouldn't. It's just going to pass to Rels afterwards who will get downvoted, then passed to rayn who has the same chance of getting FFF.

You said yourself that grack is the only player you trust. I don't think you'll ever get elected so this really is the best you'll get.

Does this accurately reflect everyone's opinion so far? You really should justify why you prefer one candidate over the other because we can use that information later on. I'm talking about prpl, byj, krogan and conversion specifically.

kitaman27 - Yes
raynpelikoneet - Yes to one or the other

I really think we may have forced Conversion's hand with showing his allegiance to Rels. He lists grack and myself in his top three trustworthy list and since rayn can't be elected, that would mean grack + kita is his ideal team.

Yet a day later when he is suddenly given the choice he decides to favor a Rels + grack team over me with no explanation. People need to pay attention to this if that's how things shake up. Rels team may be more likely to pass, but that's because he has his pair of cronies to back him up. You should vote for the player who is most likely town, not the team that is most likely to pass.

I'm tempted to just OMGUS kitaman and veto him because he keeps sticking to this "Conversion is scummy and I will never reposition myself away from this position" and it's on krogan's level of stubbornness and it's annoying me, but I'll objectively dive.


Heh if I were scum I'd totally buddy up to you to try to earn your vote, but the fact of matter is that I do in fact still think you're mafia.

Could you explain the discrepancy in the posts I just pointed out?

He seems to say that it's find if we roll with people that are providing positive results, which makes the entire pool of governments we had so far good candidates to roll with his plan. However, he seems to be going against what he thought was a good plan-- he is no longer re-evaluating after a negative result is shown, but not rolling with a government that showed a positive result (Conversion/rayn) and just automatically vetoing me based on his read.


Huh? During your presidency only krogan, rayn, and grack had alignment indicative results from the elections. I'm not sure what you mean why you say that you showed a positive result.

He in fact, during this time, has called me being scummy for "being cool with grack/prplhz," while completely ignoring the fact that I was specifically okay with it because I had a strong belief that it would be a liberal grack/prplhz facist split at best


That's correct. I think that's scummy reasoning.

Why did kitaman then have such a hard time deciding? Grack and prplhz was in the lower half of his townie rankings, it should have been leaning pretty hard to a no in that case since he did not believe in voting a government solely for getting information.


The term limits meant that I couldn't take rayn or krogan who were at the top of my list. I wasn't going to get chosen by you or grack, which pretty much means that I had to pick players from my middle tier. It didn't include you and Rels so I passed it through. You're really framing your argument to fit your narrative here.

Correction, I know that a facist player was elected. At this point, I'm leaning towards either you being Hitler or prpl being a facist who didn't need to make a choice on d2.

So what's my facist motivation for passing it through?

I'm certain because there were five people elected and I wasn't one of them lol.

I know for a fact because there are only five liberals in the game. You obviously aren't working with the same knowledge, but it's a fact nevertheless.

At the time I thought it was too crazy for a Hitler to be pushing, but at the moment I think it's the scenario that makes the most sense regardless.

I didn't want to say it, but I think it has become pretty clear that you're all racist against our benevolent overlord. It's really not your fault though. The nasty prejudice has passed down from generation to generation and has become so ingrained into the fabric of our society that you find yourself unable to overcome it. I have a dream that my children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their bucket shaped head, but by the content of their character.

But isn't it relevant that he never bothers to push the argument until the moment it's a Rels vs kita scenario on day four?

Actually he has his periods of inactivity but when he was active, he referred to you as a scumread.


It's mostly a couple of one liners about me and prpl being together though after the day one events.

I really can't imagine a town Rels seeing prpl waffling around suggesting that I be elected because I'm "nice" with no other good reason and then deciding "Ah ha! I've find the scum duo".

Like how does that even make sense?

Didn't just everybody do that?

You townread krogan all game, above Grackaroni, why did you choose Grackaroni now?

I don't get why people townread Grackaroni for passing me 2L. I sort of understand his reasoning to do it (didn't want to risk a fascist policy if he could force a liberal), but that is no reason to town read him. It's more an excuse for not wanting to pass me 1L1F and get a better read on me on top of a liberal policy.


Grack voted no to his own presidency which I think looks pretty townie. I didn't really have a strong preference between grack and krogan to be honest.

Conversion suddenly changing his view of me and Rels is really telling I think.

Alright. I'll elaborate further later on when i am off work since quoting (and even typing) on phone is like hell for me.

I dont understand prplhz' thought process at all and i think its possibly scummy. I mean the "lets pick townie dudes" but "i kinda wanted to include kita because he seems nice" (being nice has nothing to do with being townie or not).

I dont think kruger and kitaman can be in a same scumteam unless kruger is exactly hitler because of how the interactions on the thread have gone so far. Kruger seems town anyways so i am okay with whatever he picks.

I think kita has a flaw on his resistance proposal, but i dont really think that makes him anything.

My thought process was the other way around, I didn't think "let's elect townie dudes and also kita". I thought "let's elect kita". And then I thought "okay maybe let's elect townie dudes and maybe not kita because he's hard to read and if we elect him now, the doubt it creates will linger for a good while". In my posts I actually say "there are some reasons to not elect kita that applies more to him than to others".

In many elections in mafia, you don't necessarily elect the most townie person, but some combination of townie and skilled. For example for mayor. I just want to elect townie people in this game because the chancellor doesn't actually have to do anything other than push through a liberal policy. He doesn't need to be any good at mafia to do that.


Facists, but I don't understand you townread kita in the first place for being nice. When apparently you think hes a good scum player


whoooa look at what I just found?! This is game changing.

RELS IS TOTALLY OUTING HIMSELF TO HITLER AT THE START OF THE GAME.

concerning kita, you all have to know that he's a hard to catch scum. My first really salty loss came from a game where he was scum and smurfing, this one. He made really reasonnable and logical posts all game, and nobody really suspected him until he won by himself. And I see the same this game. He's making reads based on good looking, logical reasons. My problems is that sometimes, when he writes a post and wants to justify a choice, like a read and a vote, I can feel that he's making up a reason on the spot. And sometimes, this reason that seems so logical, actually shouldn't make sense in his point of view.

He tries to justify it with the last sentence, but that doesn't solve the chicken and egg problem; Grack is scummy because he wants to elect scummier people with him; but he's probably not scum with a dude he wants to elect; so he shoudln't have been that low on the list in the first place.


I was suspicious of Grack because I didn't like his nomination choices. When he chose not to elect you or conversion I decided to vote for him through (I was the tiebreaker). As for the Conversion is Hitler thing, I would be pretty surprised if Hitler hadn't figured out who his buddies are by now. If I can figure out that you're mafia, it should be pretty obvious to Conversion too considering how much you've propped him up all game and you've never supported a liberal agenda.

lol I posted it at 5:59:50. 10 seconds before the deadline. It was literally impossible for someone to happen to refresh the page immediately, read the post, and change their vote in that amount of time. That impacted the vote in no way at all.

People really need to pay more attention to this.

The single most important part of this game in regards to ones alignment is voting record and election actions.

RELS HAS NOT CONTRIBUTED TO A SINGLE LIBERAL POLICY BEING PASSED.

He failed the rayn/krogan vote.
He failed the grack/prpl vote.
He didn't vote for conversion and rayn.
He failed the kita/grack vote.

You know what his first YES vote is going to be?

WHEN HE'S PRESIDENT.

He's suddenly "motivated" to play the game. You know why? Because he finally has an opportunity to send a facist policy through. How convenient.

Can we please just pass this over to rayn? Someone explain to me why rayn as president and krogran/grack as chancellor doesn't make more sense? Those guys have proven they can send liberal policies through. Rels has done absolutely nothing but smear my name to suit his purposes.

rayn, why did you sit around and do nothing all day if you wanted me to get elected?

Conversion and Krogan would have very easily switched their vote if you told them to, yet you didn't.

I sort of get how you don't play early game, I think you always do something like that, but painting yourself a hero because you do that makes no sense. And right now your cases seem to be just wild flailing, I don't really understand any of it.

I don't paint myself as a hero, wtf are you talking about ? kita is claiming my sudden motivation is due to my will to attack him and become president, when there is an occam razor's explanation.

Your last sentence prove what is checkable.

It's not "good" to downvote a government that passes a liberal policy, try a little bit to understand the context. Kita is pushing the idea that:
"Rels has downvoted every government that has passed a liberal policy!"
But he's also pushing the idea that:
"One of the elected people is scum!"
Do you get now what it is ridiculous about it ?

No. What is wrong with winning a game through scum passing 6 liberal policies in an effort to look good to town? And why is it better to vote no to three governments without scum that passes liberal policies than it is to vote yes to a government with scum that passes a liberal policy? I'm having a very hard time understanding this particular thing.

Why is it better to downvote a scum government that passes liberal than to upvote three town governments that passes liberal?

Anyway, scum will always want to pass some liberal policies in the beginning for town cred, so let them.

I don't understand what you're saying. I'm not claiming I'm town due to my voting pattern, I'm defending against kita's accusation that my votes make me scum.


You're not defending it adequately though. Voting no to all four pairings and justifying it by saying one of those 6 players was mafia, doesn't make it okay.

I'm attacking your reasonning. You think at least one dude elected is scum, yet you're attacking me saying "he voted NO to all the teams, therefore he's scum!" Well according to you, I voted NO to at least one scum, so your reasonning doesn't make sense.


My argument is that you haven't contributed to a single liberal policy being passed based on your voting record. There isn't any way to depute that, regardless of how you want to frame it.

byj has been so all over the place with his reads that I really don't think there's a chance he's facist at all. Zero chance.

Because you were the only player in the thread that said you were voting yes and you made no effort to convince others to do so when they started sounding open to the idea.

Now that I re-read your plan, it's so obvious.

Mafia's only chance to win is to pass 3 facist policies and elect Hitler as the chancellor.

You're plan is entirely motivated around having 2 facist polcies get sent through and the you getting control of the dt check. As president, you check Hitler, lie about his alignment and then get him elected to win the game before we catch on.

Wow, how could I have been so dumb to not see this earlier.

Because I'm realizing how scummy it is.

I was happy to get elected because I thought I'd just pass a liberal policy through and the game would be over. Now that I see you've set it up for Rels to pass a facist plan, you to pass a facist plan, and then you to fake a dt check, I've realized that's the only way you're going to win this.

Think about it...krogan gave you L/F. I bet you passed L thinking you could take control of the thread and it has worked....until now.

Meh, we're not going to accomplish anything arguing with each other. Lets wait until some else shows up.

That's pretty much proof Rels is mafia considering no facist team would allow this to go through otherwise.

kitaman why did you make that godawful townread on byj? I was 100% sold on you being scum after that.


Well it was day four, with three passed liberal policies and Rels about to get elected lol. We weren't going to win at that point and we weren't able to concede so I was mostly just throwing stuff out there to set up a scenario where Rels draws FFF and I think you're scum. Unfortunately we didn't really get a break with the cards on the first few days and the president order was a bit unfortunate. On top of that, even prpl got stuck with the LL which I think was actually the right choice from grack. Me and byj weren't really on the same page this game with our voting and prpl accidentally drew suspicion day one linking himself to me, without knowing my identity. XD

Congrats to town, well played!

I'd be curious to see if prpl picked up on the signal we sent him day one. There was a phrase that would only make sense to him, but it was a reference to something from like 6 years ago

Thanks to Sentinel and Mocsta for hosting. Was fun!

Heh when you hinted that you thought he might be Hitler at the start of day two I knew we were in trouble.

I think a lot of townies did a good job looking town early in the game, which really limited options for a potential scum team as the game went on. Then when Rels picked things up it, it started to become a lost cause because he was making valid arguments.

I think I was Krogan's number two choice on day one. It would have been interesting to see how the game played out in that case.

Is it safe to assume that facists typically win by electing Hitler? Getting six facist policies seems like a really tough task to pull off.

Yeah I think I would have.

We probably would have still been in a tough spot, but if prpl played really townie and there were a couple FFF draws, at least there would have been a path to victory

Yeah in the end it was the right choice ofc but generally speaking you should always give LF at that point though it made sense to grack because he picked up the hesitation from prplhz when he got elected.


Could you two elaborate on why it's better to pass LF instead of LL as a liberal president?

If there is a facist chancellor they are going to choose the option that they feel is the most beneficial to their team. Why is it better to give them an option if the information gained is essentially a WIFOM situation? It seems like it would be better to simply ensure the liberal policy gets passed.
