This is Ver's game right? Interesting setup.

Will the roles and positions be randomed?

This could go so badly if scum get terrible senior management. Or worse terrible independent minions This is going to require a lot of work from scum to be organised. Town is also going to be so confused because Scum won't be working as a normal team.
There is no upwards or lateral communication.

There goes scum's biggest advantage. No one to bounce ideas off. I look forward to some on the job learning.

Hmmm but it will make scum hunting hard as well. It is highly likely that there will be a bus-a-thon going on (either accidental or purposeful) which means town has to assume even less than usual. I love the idea, should be a hell of a game

ooooh I have a comrade!

Are we proud proletariat or bourgeois kulaks? Down with the imperialist scum!

Actaully a soviet theme would work well with this setup. The whole USSR was one giant bureaucracy.

I wonder what the yachting connection means? Note how he mentioned every other activity but left out the boats? Is this where they are hiding their incriminating corporate documentation? It's a good place to start looking...

Chezinu, what is the significance of the boats? In my experience yachts are always used to launder money and ship pure cocaine.

So we're not expanding our product line then?

Hmmm, this corporate stratey needs more cross-functional synergy. For the sake of compliance and maximising our opportunities, a feedback system of transparency is needed. That being said to gain traction we need to double down on incentivising our stakeholders. A dynamic process of focusing on our core competencies where we drill down to the point of no return, will calibrate our business to exceed partner expectations.

Remember we can only succeed if we work together!

Wow, that was useful...

Ok since no-one seems to want to actually participate, here are some thoughts of mine of the setup.

Aside from trying to kill town, the only thing that binds mafia as a team is their strategy dictated from above. From my reading this is sent during the night. Thus day 2 is going to be crucial. We should be aware of people who change reads for bad reasons or suddenly become active. Basically anyone who suddenly gains direction overnight will be a good target to poke. As for Day 1, I think participation and clarity will be extra useful because mafia now know that they are setting themselves up for difficulties in Day 2 if they pick targets Day 1. People with clear targets are going to have to work harder to change them if a different CEO strategy comes in.

Thoughts?

Hi Q-bert-Z

You seem to be in a similar frame of mind as me. Thoughts on my post? When you say
so we should try to create an environment that is shifting too much for that message to be useful.


What exactly do you mean?

Chaos


Which is exactly what we don't want. Mafia are going to be all over the place Day 1, they are in the same boat as us right now. But tomorrow they will have a goal that they can work towards. The only way we can counteract that is by holding people accountable to their Day 1 reads. If someone suddenly changes their read for no reason, it will look even more suspicious than usual.

Why would a chaotic environment help? Surely the opposite, where people are clear about who they think is scum and why, is much better for finding inconsistencies.

Qbert, can you explain your thoughts please?

It was in the spoiler. That is what Chez was responding too

In any case, in this setup it seems pretty straightforwards to me. Analyze like normal, hold people to their views like normal, look for weird unsubstantiated cases like normal. There's more scum and they're less organized, but I don't see why we need to do our D1 or D2 anything different than what we typically do. Just keep an eye open for people doing shit without legit town motives and you're good to go as always.

@Chezinu: Chaos bad

##vote: Chezinu


Fluff and nonsense. I have never played a game with Chez but I have read his games and he is never clear. Chaos is his middle name (OK, maybe I am exaggerating) but the point being voting for him, is just dumb. It is not like he wasn't posting and your vote isn't going to make him be all clear and transparent.

So Mr Blazinghand, why aren't you reading the thread and why are pushing easy targets? In addition why are you dismissing my ideas without actually commenting on them.
