Besides, dt roles plus defensive roles will win us this game. A couple KP roles will be handy to deal with the excess mafia, but on the whole the key to victory is investigative + defensive. Besides, the KP roles that are on the list are the ones least likely to be taken by mafia, and so have the highest likelyhood of still being around at the bottom of the draft.

No players with the top picks should attempt to co-ordinate their roles with other high players. Upside for mafia in that scenario is far higher than the upside for town.

Top picks should be uber town roles and self defense (so that it's dangerous to shoot in there)

Mid-high picks should be KP, IF we want it.

I'll be back about an hour before the deadline to read more.

How do you figure? There are 3 different scum teams all trying to identify their competition. Each one of those teams will be trying to pick a DT role.


Well, there are very few situations where an investigative role is better for mafia than a KP role. Why bother investigating a player if you can just shoot him?

Role cop/Capitalist/etc are good roles for mafia though, as they allow them to find other strong roles(not alignments) and are good roles for co-ordinating with Assassin/thief/role swapper etc.

The pure detective roles like Parity Cop, NKVD and Bullet Bill are next to useless for mafia.

BB may be but NKVD and Parity cop aren't.

NKVD can be very useful for scum IMO.

Parity maybe not, BB has its uses.

Radfield why put copy cat so low on the list? seems to me that that role should be prioritized very early on. iirc its what saved the town in pyp insane.

Copy cat is a hit or miss role.

Also, there is no need for it to be high up on the list, as you might as well actually just grab a role if you are in the top picks.

Basically, Copy cat does not directly contribute to town winning. It may, but it doesn't necessarily. On the other hand, investigative + Defensive roles DO directly contribute to town winning, hence them being slotted higher.

Let's say you are mafia, and you pick a DT. Night one, you check someone, and they flip X. Can you give me an example where a bullet to the head would not give you the same info, or where any extra information would be useful? (There are like, two, and that is not enough to justify the role)

You could find the inventor, or you could kill the inventor, and find out that he is inventor on death. A KP role IS a info role for mafia, because they want everyone else dead in the end, so they don't care about finding out post-mortem.

EBWODP:

You might be able to use it for some blackmainling stuff, but again, KP will always be the better solution to a info role for mafia. (And prot is better for mafia then just getting half info, if they think that they can't get another KP role)

Jimbo is exactly right. Luckily there's not much time left so everyone's prolly sent in their picks already.

The reality is that there are 12 mafia and 16 townies. That is an absurdly ridiculous ratio. If I were mafia I'd take whatever kills as much as possible and just start massacring everything.

The only way the town can win is if the mafia shoot each other. If the mafia families suck then the town is screwed. (Actually, the last multiple-mafia-family game I was in ended in a tie thanks to late modkills and my medical prowess.)

I really hope the discussion caused mafia members to try to take investigative roles.
Cheese is good for you!

Day 1


Qatol the Lawyer has been assassinated by the good people from The Goldman Sachs while on a mission to bring the Darth Flamewheel to justice. Ver the NKVD agent has contracted Chezinuitis while attempting to view GMarshal's criminal records. Darth Flamewheel, CEO of The Goldman Sachs, has been exiled to Siberia after a failed attempt to buy the Incognito of America and is now conspiring with GMarshal the Capitalist to flood the American economy with smurfs and cause hyperinflation. Incognito of America yet again avoids dying in a Day 1 post, but is now vegetating in a wheelchair after being trampled by a wild buffalo. dreamflower the dreamflower has committed seppuku after realizing that she could not escape the ghost of Qatol.

Protactinium the Puppeteer has been impaled by a rake after an angry mob attacked him for making their eyes bleed out with blue, red, and green bold text.

Suppose I don't trust in putting power in people based purely on past performances. What will you do for us this game? What's your plan? Who will you lynch day 1? Why would you make a better mayor than, say Jimbo? (I bring him up because he has said that he will run)

I would like to nominate the 3 most active and protown people as of right now, and that would be:

Sandroba
Jumbo
Radfield

All three put a lot of effort into organizing town so far. By putting them in public office, We pressure them to keep up there performance. Of the three, I like Sand and Rad the most, Jumbo the least.

chaoser or wiggles dont have a platform, so i see no reason to elect them. They could change my mind, if they give me a reason to.
