IOW, if the Mafia puts up, say, two candidates, and any of these three are in the Mafia, he will be one of the two candidates. Something to keep in mind. That doesn't make any logical sense. How would withdrawing their candidacy in any way make them look like scum? | ||

From there a team can be developed, people with roles should PM the mayor, and he sends detectives to investigate them to be sure. Only mafia would fake roles, so investigating them serves as hard proof of their legit role, or will reveal a mafia faking a role. Ghar, your plan is seriously flawed. I don't think you've thought this through, which is why I'm going to encourage people not to vote for you. If there was a contest over best election poster however, you'd win by a landslide. There are four detectives. They can use their role finding abilities twice in the game, and once a day. However, noone knows who the detectives are. A mafia mayor could have a fellow mobster, even two, pretend to be detectives and report that you're the mayor. You could have the detectives detect the detectives, but that'd cause the same problem, and the real detectives would be using their abilities in vain. So it's not that easy, but at least it's better than what FS did. edit: For chrissake, if you're going to run for mayor, do more than a half-assed job. Can't be worse than fakesteve doesn't cut it. | ||

I'm sure you didn't read his entire post, because the strategy makes a lot of sense EVEN when the Mayor is Mafia because it forces the Mayor to do some work that benefits the Town. I don't understand. If the mayor is mafia, and he convinces the real detectives to find out people's roles for him, then it's pretty much game over. If he's not mafia, he can't absolutely trust the detectives, because the mafia could be faking 4 detectives and reporting mob members as having the roles. BTW Ghar, I didn't mean you were half-assing it. I mean, well, it's clear the liquidians I'm talking about. | ||

Also, I feel like a lot of people aren't giving the mayoral election a lot of thought. A HUGE amount of the detective work rests on the mayor's shoulders. Voting for somebody because they mass PMed you is a bad idea. If you're running for mayor on those grounds, seriously, give it a break. | ||

1. Empyrean does not appear to have read much of the analysis from last night, including Ace's Bodyguard plan. He doesn't appear to have a good grasp of what's going on. He is basically trying to coerce us into voting for him because he may or may not be a detective. 2. Everybody may or may not be a detective. Claiming you are one at this point is ZERO reason to believe you are a detective, and not mafia. There is no hard evidence pointing in either direction. 3. Cost/Benefit analysis: I. Empyrean is a detective and we -- a. Vote him in. Great, he has protection. With Ace as the mayor (it looks like he's going to win), it means he'll be a pardoner and probably take a less minor role in leadership. I think after he colludes with Ace, he'll do a good job. b. Vote for someone else very unlikely to be mafia, i.e. Ghar or randombum. You will need several medics to keep Emp alive, because doubtless the mafia are going to devote a lot of killing power to get him out of the game. II. Empyrean is scum and we -- a. Vote him in. Ace will find out he is scum and we'll lynch him. We'll be down one pardoner, meaning one less person with bodyguard protection and no pardoning power. b. Vote for someone else. Ace will coordinate the real detectives to find out that he's scum, and the town will lynch the piano playing, twice-mafia bastard. Dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. How good each scenario is, in order, with how good each scenario is on a scale of 1-10, 5 being neutral. 1. Don't vote for Emp, find out he's scum, kill him, and have a list of suspects based on who voted for him, among other things. (10) 2. Vote for emp, and we get a protected detective (6, because under Ace's plan, detectives are kept secret anyway). 3. Don't vote for emp We lose a detective, but we vote in a reliable pardoner, who is probably not mafia -- in my mind either Ghar or randombum. (4) 4. The WORST is Empyrean being scum and we vote him in. (1) The best we can do by voting for emp is a 6. The worst is a 1. The best we can do by NOT voting for Emp is a 10, and the worst is a 4. Losing a detective is not a huge loss because we have a lot. A pardoner is important because it keeps the mob in check, and nullifies the bandwagon effect. There are things the mayor and pardoner can know that the town can't. This town would fare better losing a detective than a pardoner. For that reason, I strongly recommend you Do NOT vote for Empyrean. Lightning edit: I wrote "best" instead of "worst". | ||

First, a protected detective is NOT that valueable. Under Ace's plan, it will be made clear who the detectives are. He will be their mouthpiece, and their identities will remain secret. They can only die if they're accidentally killed off. Second, you can't really save somebody if the Mafia is determined to kill them. They can use several kill points to make sure they take out an important role. It might be viable in the beginning, when you have all 7 medics saving one person because that's the only one they know is worth saving, but it would difficult to keep him alive for long when there are more people (including innocent townies who are likely to be targetted just becaused the contribute a lot) worth saving later in the game. Finally, clues at this point are useless. I can't emphasize this enough. Let me try again. CLUES AT THIS POINT ARE USELESS. All this pointless, unsubstantiated finger pointing is annoying, QUIT IT. When a lot of them start to add up, and there's behavioral clues to add to it, then it becomes worth talking about. A lot of people were lynched last game on a whim. Let's not do that again. The clues pointing to Ghar aren't very sound at all. I don't buy them for a second, but if a lot of them started to suggest him loosely, then I'll consider it some more. In fact, I would ask that clue analysis be kept to yourself for now, because it makes you a target and it causes unneeded and unwarranted suspicions amongst townies. Although you should by all means continue analyzing, just post them ONLY when you have a strong case against someone. This and this clue might point to this person is pure shit. The town can only be hurt by this pointless finger pointing. Oh man, that's a terrible pun. ;( | ||

I posted what I felt was reasonable. I don't know if you're real or not atm, and I didn't mean anything by that adjective. My numerical assignments were based on my subjective opinion. I only introduced it to make my point more clear. I think if you fuddle the numbers around some, you'd come up with the same conclusion, that the risk of voting for you outweight the benefits. We have 4 detectives, and not two like last game. It sucks to have to lose one, but we can deal with three. I still feel that the pardoner, because he is protected and because he can keep the town in check, is more valuable. With 130 people, he'll likely be able to pardon more than last game too. Seriously, I think your decision to reveal your role was a bad idea, regardless if you're mafia or townie. You could've become mayor by campaigning hard, adopting Ace's plan, and using your reputation from last game. It would've helped if you'd started earlier. Then, we would've had a detective mayor, and not had to go through this drama. It comes down to this: We don't know if you're detective or scum or a townie who wants the mayoral position bad. There is absolutely no more reason to believe you're any of these roles than there is to believe that I am any of these roles. This is a simple, sound, and logical fact. On the other hand, the suspicions your actions invoked seriously hurt your chances of winning. How? This is what I keep asking. We can't coordinate unless the detectives can all trust someone. They can only trust someone if they know he is towny. That means either: we waste 3/8 of the valuable yes/no questions, or the mayor reveals a bodyguard. Ace has said he does not want to reveal a bodyguard immediately, so how will he be able to coordinate the detectives? He's going to have to reveal a bodyguard then. Sacrificing somebody to make sure the mayor can be trusted is worth it. I'm not actually sure about the specifics... Ace, wanna follow up? | ||

I'm not sure if it's worth sacrificing a detective to prove the mayor's innocence, but his ability to coordinate the town without being hit seems powerful enough to warrant it. So unless this round proves me wrong, I'm going to reserve my vote unless a candidate is willing to make that sacrifice, or shows me the flaw in my logic. | ||

I think those 2 should be in the top list of who to lynch first, pretty good connections made by xdark.carnivalx 1-Zeks 2-CTStalker This is just bad logic. You can't go about lynching people based on one clue. A lot of clues from last game were misinterpreted so that innocents were lynched. People ignored behavioral clues. Had they paid attention to how people posted, Empyrean would've been long dead. There are people whose behaviors already warrant serious suspicion, besides the obvious ones, if you take the time to look at people's posting history. | ||

The only reason people believe Empyrean is worth putting in that valuable spot is because he claims he is a detective. This is not verifiable information in any way, and there is no reason to trust Empyrean. For the purpose of electing a mayor, that statement can be tossed out the window. Randombum is just as likely to be a detective as Empyrean. However, there's the added bonus that randombum is less likely to be a mafia ploy because he announced his campaign before the game started, whereas Empyrean's role claiming makes him suspect. Emp's poor decision making and suspicious activity make him a poor candidate for a leadership role, whatever his reputation from last game may be. This is not grounds to support emp at all. I strongly urge everybody to VOTE RANDOMBUM in order to keep Empyrean out of office. If you're holding out because you think Empyrean taking Pardoner is inevitable -- it's not. We just need TEN people to vote randombum, or FIVE people to change their vote. That's out of 130 people playing. Change your vote now, before it's too late. | ||

I am not saying Empyrean is Mafia. I don't even have strong suspicions at the moment. I would NOT vote to lynch him, and strongly suggest that paramedics protect him the first night, until we verify his role, and until he uses both his role checks himself. I am arguing from a logical point of view that there is no reason to trust that he is detective. There is no reason to believe he's not a detective either. I'm just saying that given that we can't trust anybody, it's equally likely randombum is a detective. Role claiming at this point is useless, and more likely to be a ploy. If Emp turns out ot be innocent, well fuck me. I'll end up looking like a moron, and Ace too. In my opinion though, it's better to be safe than sorry. | ||

Even with the saboteur position removing his powers while he is being protected, I think we would do well to have someone who is most likely a townie to be up there. Also, why is everyone so confident that Ace and randombum are clean? While Ace's plan is pretty good, that shouldn't guarantee his innocence. Why are you so convinced Emp is innocent? Electing the mayor is a shot in the dark. We don't know if they are or aren't townies. We do the best we can. The best we can suggests that Ace is innocent, because he's contributed a lot of ideas that can help the town. Emp made a stupid decision that can either cost us a detective or land up with a mafia as pardoner. Nobody is voting by certainty, just by likelihood. Just because there's the possibility you'll be hit by a bus doesn't mean you shouldn't cross the street. As for the detective innocence problem -- this is a big issue. The problem is the detectives don't know who each other are, and to be sure the investigation is actually completed, they'll ALL have to use up a role check on the mayor. My solution is simple. Instead, we should have both jacks check up on the mayor. Jacks are not as useful, and we'll be wasting two checks instead of four, and we can't have emp do it (assuming he is a detective) because no doubt the mafia will use a saboteur on him. If we rely on emp, it'll be another night before we find out if the mayor is clean. that means we'll end up killing several bodyguards and potentially the mayor for a mafiaso. not a good trade. This has been brought up a million times. The bodyguard plan has already been shown to be a flawed method for proving the mayor's innocence. The only way to be sure is to sacrifice a jack. That's likely what will end up happening. EDIT: OOPS! I misunderstood the jack's role. Ignore what I just said. It's better to sacrifice four detective role checks than lose a jack. | ||

We're not, Ace is voted because he has a plan of action that will benefit the town even if he were say mafia. Bum is just voted to kick Emp off because of his irrational approach to being elected. I have a concern with Ace's plan: suppose that the mayor is townie and all the bodyguards get the right messages then suppose that a mafia false claims that hes a bodyguard. that means we'll end up killing several bodyguards and potentially the mayor for a mafiaso. not a good trade. If the mayor is innocent, then he'll straight out deny the fake bodyguards, thus we have free mafia to kill without any wasted effort.

I really think people shouldn't do this yet. Ace seems trustworthy, but it could all be a ploy to earn our trust. An experienced player would know just how to pull that off. If that's the case, he probably figured he could sacrifice himself to make it harder, if not impossible, for townies to get organized. | ||

I don't know whether to be relieved or hurt the mafia doesn't think I'm worth killing. Since I don't like dealing with clues, I'll let other people worry about that. Some things I noticed though -- 6 people dead, meaning either the mafia chose not to use all its killing power, or they chose to use more than one kill on at least one of the dead people, or they attacked somebody with at least 3 paramedics defending. I think the last option is the most likely. I strongly feel that the protected person was Empyrean. There is nobody else they'd have a reason to send more than one guy after, and given Emp's claim as a townie, they probably didn't want to risk wasting a suicide bomber on him. Now that they found he's being protected, they might read that as either he is actually a detective or that he's worth sending a suicide bomber after. Either way, I think it vindicates Emp. Or maybe I'm missing something. I get the feeling I'm missing something. Another point is that the mafia don't appear that smart this game. They killed people who were under heavy suspicion, notably CTStalker and oneBlueAugust. I was ready to vote against him on the basis of the grudge clue alone. They did not kill people whose analysis was more helpful, like carnival and shallow. I'm sorry mynock's gone. His posts were usually worth reviewing. I'm interested in seeing what our clue interpreters pick up. | ||

1. Matching clues to people with suspicious behavior and detective information. I don't say clue interpretation because as CTStalker's case has shown, even the most apparently strong clues are "right" only half the time. If we do have a clue that seems very strong, I'm sure Ace will have a detective investigate it. We should never lynch on the basis of a clue alone. 2. PM Ace your roles. WTF seriously, you should've done this already, especially if you're a blue. 3. Hold your horses and don't lynch/kill/plant a bomb unless you're sure, based on more than just clues, that the person is mafia. | ||

First, Ace is trying to maintain order and establish discipline. He's not defending Ghar on a whim. While I think it's clear that Ghar is mafia, I also realize that townie discipline will be crucial to making sure we don't lynch the wrong people on a bandwagon. I strongly urge everybody to listen to Ace. If it comes down to the last hour and there's no response, then we simply lynch Ghar anyway. Second, Ace is trying to make sure that Ghar is mafia in fact. I personally buy the clue completely, but it never hurts to double check. If everybody votes for Ghar right now, and it turns out he's innocent at the last minute, then there's nothing we can do about it. If most people abstain, then we'll be able to save Ghar and lynch a real mafioso. As for Ace's innocence, there's a remote possibility he's actually mafia. We have to keep this possibility open. Again, I urge any detective that has not investigated Ace already to do so now, just in the off chance that the three other detectives have not already done so. Still, since we have nothing better to go off of, we have very good reason to trust him. If Ace were mafia, I don't think he'd be stupid enough to risk his credibility defending an obvious mafia like Ghar. One Mafia alone isn't worth it. (Anyway, when he votes, we'll see if he's actually roleblocked. You are going to vote, right Ace?) He certainly would NOT be trying to establish order in the town. Finally, there's some of you that need to manner up. We're all in this game for fun. Part of what takes away from that is a bunch of people acting like 15 year olds. If you disagree with somebody, bring it up in public, and do it respectfully. I don't want to read your whiny, unpunctuated bullshit on this thread or in my mailbox. If you can't understand that this is a game and people are playing it to have fun, then get the fuck out. | ||

Are you investigating Ghar at least? I read your post from before, but I think Ghar's clue is a much more "sure fire" case. I think for the sake of your credibility, you should encourage Ghar's lynching. | ||

I'd like to be independent and look at clues and vote for people i think are mafia, but with ace as mayor, and all the blues knowing whos who and working together, I'm fairly bored. Now I honestly want to stir shit, because It's becoming a spectator sport townies, and then voting for who ace tells us too, cause he's basically a guaranteed townie. I wish Emp was mayor, that would have been fun. No offense ace... Ya, I kinda agree. I think the town's ability to organize really hurts the fun of the game. Last game was awesome to follow because of all the drama. It was exciting to see mandalor get caught, and it was a clever move on ace's part but meh, I get the feeling the rest of the game is going to be straightforward, with mafia after mafia being caught because of clues. | ||

Posts 527 PM Profile Quote I change my vote from abstain to Mandalor. ### I thought that was an interesting vote (a day before) because no one had mentioned him as a suspect, and I couldn't find any clues leading to him. To sum up, basically smurfingchobo voted on Mandalor way before I even brought him up. This is odd because even when we knew Mandalor was Mafia, we couldn't even find a single clue that implicated him. What do you guys think about this? Someone did some nice work well thats what is happening with dr.dragon and kuja900 they both were in the first to vote and they voted for each other, and they both didnt even posted one time iirc PS: wasnt there a clue about a dragon? Could be Kuja voted dragoon for shits and giggles. Dragoon retaliates. It may be worth checking them out, but it shouldn't be a priority. Mafia wouldn't be dumb enough to be the sole voter on somebody... right? | ||

I sent Mandalor the PM to tell me the info way b4 I accused him publicly. smurf voted for Mandalor a little bit before that time. We're just interested in how he voted for the guy when there were no clues pointing to him, even when we knew he was Mafia and couldn't find a thing. No dude, if you read smurfingchobo's post, it's been edited. He also pointed out that it was edited after voting ends. On the 23rd he abstained. After your announcement he edited his vote. So there's nothing suspicious. | ||

Wrong. Risk of getting caught as a vet is very slim, still it harasses the town. It's a good trade for the mafia. Wrong. When there's nothing else to go off of, and there are clues pointing vaguely at one of the three, then you're going to get picked off next. And it doesn't cause any confusion that's useful. Who cares who the vets are? | ||

I don't see anybody else throwing a fit. Nor do you have sure evidence that araav "hacked it", and that it wasn't an internal leak. IF araav really did hack, then I agree, get rid of this guy from all future mafia games. It's the same of shittiness, in my mind, as SonuvBob using his admin powers to look through PMs (assuming he has them). Yes, it is a risk setting up a chat room, but when someone does something illegal to get in, then no way should that be tolerated. On the other hand, if he got in through social engineering, then that's too bad for you guys. I want town to win, of course (), but we have to take responsibility if somebody on the inside leaked information. | ||

Now I can understand why someone would think I'm mafia from my past behavior (which was in jest), but Wysp has never bothered to respond to the arguments others have made that I'm innocent. He just keeps posting "Hang Ahrara". He even said "for unclue related reasons" we should hang me. I AM NOT TRYING TO BANDWAGON WYSP. I don't want ppl to vote for him... I frankyl haven't been followign close enough to see if the evidence matches him. But those of you who have can use it as a starting point, since it is obvious I'm green. If you guys bandwagon me, tbh I don't really care. I'm not going to defend myself. The evidence that I'm green is already there, and is very firm. | ||
