I like the idea. It's simple it's honest. It keeps scum from manipulating who gets a vote.

Palmar is a cowboy. He don't need no stinkin' plans. I'd actually be looking at him as scum if he did agree to anybodies day 1 plan no matter how transparent it is. Because Palmar is a cowboy and he don't need no stinkin' plans.

You have an individual named Palmar that has clearly stated he's above plans. So if we don't have everybody on board what good is the plan? Do we just skip him and let him do what he wants? Thing is this is the arrogant townie Palmar I'm used to seeing. So I have no desire to lynch him. So what plan do we devise that allows us to ignore the cowboy from Iceland.

Perhaps just "ignore the cowboy from Iceland" as a plan? Simplicity in form, effective in design.

I kid, I kid.

Jackal, are you adverse to discussing the lynch before we hear from everyone? Who are your top 2 candidates right now?

Nobody yet really. If I had a gun to my head and had to vote it would be for WBG just for the hilarity.

If I am understanding correctly from the anti-circle circle trade people, messing up on N1 is acceptable. Town needs to take risks to get an advantage. We should give our votes to who we think is pro-town and then justify ourselves D2. I agree that people's justifications will be useful, but at what cost?

By your guys logic, players such as Node, Jackal58 and jaybrundage shouldn't get any votes due to them being less active than others, which implies less town.

Here is where I get caught up. Who has to the most to gain from being active and pro-town? Mafia does. I am not saying that the lurkers can't be mafia, but it is unlikely. Mafia want to get voting majority in whatever way possible they can right?

Between the active players we are split on what to do N1, which is far worse than going with one plan or another. Solidarity goes a long way in mafia.

Also what is the point of the free trade plan + justifications if we are just going to make people balance the votes back out the next night to those with 1 vote. The people with 1 vote should be weaker townies and mafia. What is the point of not trading to them N1 if we are just going to give them votes back N2.




Now onto the business.

The difference between finding mafia to lynch and finding townie to pass your vote to is night and day. Remember, if you just randomize it, you still have 70% chance of hitting a townie. Add in even a tiny bit of thinking and that percentage goes up.

When you're trying to lynch scum it's the opposite, and you will be influenced by outside factors (it's harder to get wagons started on scum). However, this is your decision and your decision alone, so you have complete control over the outcome.

There is no such thing as safe play in mafia. It's not safe to do the circle of trust because we don't know what abilities the mafia has, and we cannot possibly gain an advantage through that method. With no advantage we don't know how the game is balanced.


"I just chose at random" This justification completely negates what your plan is trying to do, which is to get scumtells from peoples justification on their trades. Another contradiction

By your logic and probability, townies should trade their votes at random N1, ~70% chance to trade to another townie. So, which one is it Palmar? Free trade + justifications or randomized trading.

This is so anti-town. Solidarity is crucial, not dissidence. You are forcing the town to do one of two things, follow you or lynch you. Seems like a scummy power play to me.

##Vote: Palmar

Scum can gain voting power by killing the people they trade votes with.

And don't vote for the cowboy. Palmar is town.

Everybody should give away as many votes as they can every day. This is a good idea because it will prevent scum from eliminating voting power through night kills, and voting power will only get eliminated through the lynch which is more likely to hit scum than night kills.


Free trade or circle trading. Giving as few votes as possible seems to be best. That way least amount of town votes can potentielly end up at scum. Why would I, when I know my own allignment, give votes to a potential scum? I won't! This statement is weird and I find it scummy.

If you read this post (clicky) it just seems to come from scum perspective.

Drep

We have at least 3 mislynches until LYLO, with the low KP of mafia this will likely be a long game, which ultimately favors town. I think the game would be somewhat balanced with all vanilla, but that would be boring so there are likely roles out there.

Medics and veterans seem a lot stronger in a game where scum only has 1 KP, they can render an entire night useless for scum. Vigilantes on the other hand seem less powerful since there are no flips. Investigation roles are going to be a lot more powerful, but also harder to breadcrumb the results of since you cannot rely on your flip as a trigger for people to go back and find them, and you cannot rely on town to pick them up while hiding them for scum. Themed roles are a distinct possibility, yes they are.


Ultimately, the only thing we can rely on is analysis, so provide content and provide analysis, duh. If some dude died who is scum, but everybody thinks he's town this will be a lot better for scum, so lynching people off hunches is not going to work. No-lynching might also be an option at some point.

Any plan that rests on a premise other than "You are town" can hardly ever be reliably implemented. Plans are often only good for examining the setup and for starting the game up. The only plan I can see right now which rests only on that single premise is "Give a single vote to the person you think is most likely to be town. If you have a reason to think you're going to die, consider giving all of your votes to that person."

We should not tell people who we're going to give our votes to during the night but instead during the following day.


The italic part is also written from a scum perspective. The whole process of saying how the roles affect scum seems to be from someone who is on the recieving end of the power roles. While everyone could think this, I don't think a town person would write it and certainly not in this way.

The rest of the post is basicly fluff and nothing.

After this he tell us to not lynch risk. Vote WBG and then go on the longest shoppingtrip ever.

He is scum!

What he wrote doesn't hit me as scummy. The way he wrote it doesn't either. The fact that he wrote it does though. Why post things that are self evident?

I didn't actually look up Palmar, I was going off of what others were saying about these two. And since people were talking about Palmar being like this all the time in this thread, he went off my radar.

At the time of voting I didn't actually read ANYONE's past history. Bad error on my part, but I don't get how this correlates to me being mafia.

The reason I unvoted was because I thought risk.nuke was throwing up arguments to try and get around answering the question of mafia collecting all the votes and not giving them back. His logic seemed circuitous to me at the time, and I thought he was just pissing people off as a scum player, not as risk.nuke.

And everyone keeps bring up that post - you realize that plan was BEFORE everyone started offering up logic to perfect the circlejerk and then abolish it altogether?

What does that have to do with voting and unvoting risk? Do you think Palmar is scummy? Do you think risk would only piss people off as town? What has risk done to piss people off?

Could you explain this question?

What I meant was pissing people off seems to be a scum tell for you.
Palmar almost always pisses me off but it has nothing to do with his alignment. Scummy Palmar and townie Palmar both piss me off. Same with WBG. I was wondering if you thought that was a scum tell. I also wondered what risk did to piss you off?

Hey Jackal58 could you comment on wherebugsgo and VisceraEyes or is [UoN]Sentinel more likely to be scum? What makes him more likely to be scum?

WBG is off his town game so far. I always think Visc is scummy. Sentinel gave me some bad vibes but he answered my question about being pissed off. Fwiw I have the same issue at times. Confusing anger with scumminess.

My wife and I are going out shortly and I will be gone til after the flip. My vote is going on wbg. It's purely meta.

It was a good lynch. Bugs is a good player. Both me and Palmar realised how a cirklejerk was better for scum then for town almost instantly. He claims he did not. Furthermore at the time when the majority of posting people had gotten it somehow that cirklejerks were awesome he tried to quelsh any opposition HARD. As can be seen by his argumentation with me about cirklejerks ending in him agressivly voting for me trying to both quelsh resistance to a pro-mafia strategy and simultaneously starting a bandwagon on me. His vote was straight out dumb. It was not a pressure vote because I had already taken a stance. I had taken a stance and he wanted me dead for it.

And he kept talking all the time about how easy it was for mafia to act pro-town and get all the votes with my plan which is just false because if it was that easy as to look pro-town and not be pro-town. Then scum could roll the game regardless if people give them votes or not because pro-town looking people won't get lynched anyway. It was just fearmongering trying to scare away townies from the correct path.

Lastly, when things look dire for him and he has no defense to deploy but he just disapears.

whilst i could argue about the first point that would not be helpful.
the fearmongering aspect is also debatable, for instance+ Show Spoiler +

prplhz, I don't like the idea to give away 2 votes each day. Do you realise that if we mislynch day 1 and day 2, day 3 there will be. 37 votes in the game. And if mafia aren't under/over eachother in the list they can aqquire 20 votes. Leaving the town with 17. Yes it will be obvious who the scum is. But without some sort of powerrole intervention we can't do anything about it.
Veto

I think I would prefer a system where you can send your votes wherever you please. Obviously you will have to tell us what you do.

Why is this a better idea then everyone gets the same amount of votes?
Mafia can't lurk. Cause lurkers will likely end up on 1 vote and be useless.
Mafia will be forced to provide reasoning and...BAH I gtg. See you later.
that could equally be labelled fearmongering, you used likely harmful consequences to persuade people of a point. WBG did the same thing.

He disappeared and nobody spoke out against his defence. Couldn't you say that this make it seem like he was a townie? It was not like we had caught him out and he was obvious scum that we lynched. There was limited discussion and it ended with him being lynched.
If you think that he was scum then it seems reasonable to assume that his teammates did not bus him (because that would have been stupid). Are you going to proceed under the assumption that there are 3 scum left or 4? Are you going to be open to both possibilities?

Do you think that the benefits of everyone trading 2 votes make it worth doing?
(please consider the lsb plan not just trading 2 votes in general) plan can be found : here http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=13291863 and http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=13298111

6 people did not vote for him and 1 did not vote at all. The vote was basically 8-7. I don't think we can make any definitive conclusions based on the vote. We surely have some sort of DT role for checking the alignment of dead players. We shall have to await the time when said role decides to enlighten us to make any sense of who voted for Bugs and if said vote was scum driven or not.
