Eywa should 100% not be able to get away with even worse logic and refusing to explain himself. | ||

This is incorrect, but probably the perception. Honestly, both are ok plays as either alignment. You can gambit on yourself or you can counter wagon. It has nothing to do with alignment, it's just about playstyle. We shouldn't all lose our minds because someone chose gambit on themselves... | ||

I've flipflopped around enough today already! I'm going to stick with hf and see if I can build some consensus when other people are around. I really believe in this, so I want to see what other people think before I abandon it. Also, I'm not entirely convinced on eywa yet at all. Very much a slight lean toward scum from my perspective, but eywa's posting always pisses me off and I've not seen a scum flip yet. | ||

If ES fails to switch to grack, then flips red, we immediately kill grack because basic logic says so. If they are both mafia, mafia loses. I can't see how on earth you can possibly think otherwise. | ||

All I'm saying is that her optimal play as mafia is always the same as her optimal play for town. She can counter wagon or she can gambit, both are valid plays and are NOT associative. | ||

Like, based on this logic, you should always counter wagon as scum because they'll think the player you switched onto is your buddy, which would be incorrect. | ||

Oh we're back on the thing where if someone's under pressure, nothing they do matters. I'm not banging my head on that brick wall, thanks. Everyone else will be able to see that this is obvious - you keep being you eywa. | ||

Everyone else will be able to see that this is obvious - you keep being you eywa. Eh... What? Sigh.... I'm just saying you have option A and option B and neither is "correct". If you select option A as town, you must select it as scum. Claiming "oh, this player chose to gambit rather than counter wagon" means nothing. You might as well base your read on the time ES went to sleep. | ||

For instance, ES will almost certainly get lynched if she tries to continue pushing for you. As town, it makes sense if she truly believes you are scum. As scum, it doesn't make sense, becuase she will almost certainly get lynched. Let me give you a counter example. Let's say we are playing a massive game, with 20 players and 5 scum. If one scum member buses and lynches all the 4 other scum, that's optimal town play. Is that optimal scum play? Of course not. | ||

Mafia want to survive. End of story. Appearing townie is just a means to an end, but it is not the main priority. | ||

As town the optimal play is to not get lynched. If all town are slippery enough to not get lynched, then who wins? Town. Without fail. Not getting lynched is hands down the most valuable skill in Mafia as either alignment. That is a fact. Saying "oh they don't mind the consequences of" NOOOOOOO. That is NAI and it's bad town play if that's the case. | ||
