what i mean by it tis simple: any vt's claim their intended role, some mafia claim another role that may or may not exist. or maybe they claim a role a higher mafia picked, or they share a pick with a vt. who knows. all that does is give mafia a list of roles in the game, and it does zog all for us.

Afaik pyp games are often determined by "this bullshit". The picking phase strategy is a big part of the game.

And I sort of agree with denying scum roles, but we should limit it to one or maybe two roles, because if we have strong consensus townies early in the order then giving them actual good roles could be very powerful.

Also oats the draft order is public knowledge.



K right.

So we could just assign roles to all the people.

And if they dont picked the assigned role, we kill them, and if they use their role in a way that benefits scum we kill them.

And this will totally break the game as PYP, no?


why dont we do this?

uz an stinkeh grot is wot it is, how do we prove they picked the assigned role, and mo' impotantly uz just givin mafia all the roles in orda', clean as u please. bloody good job is what it is.

Absolutely correct. You have no way of telling who is telling the truth and you might end up lynching a lot of good town roles just to figure out who is lying.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=403766&currentpage=11#206

As I mentioned prior.

So far, I disagree.

i think this provides us a tool with which to facilitate scum hunting at some point in the game.

To use the claimed VT information to confirm people is ridiculous. - If that is your fixation, then I can see your point of view clearly.

yuz a bloody scum iz wot it iz, 'tis line of reasoning iz a classic scum trick of backing off any points and just tryin' tah win an argument, all inna name of pro-town biznes. Well oi ain't up fo that. Oi got mai oi on you boy.

You mean, as opposed to claiming, you want people to claim. After you said claiming is nonsense and doesn't work.

naw ya gitz its quoit' simple

i gotz a plan, requirez three days, then everybody claims, and vanillas make up a claim. den we wait fo days 2 and 3. no infomation gets to the maf's that we townz' won't also knowz cuz the maf's can't trust any claims.

New rule, whoever tries to get someone lynched of a joke is scum.

RO is scum.

Am I mafia independently of the first sentence, or did I already try to get someone lynched without myself noticing?


Pointing out contradictions is pointing out that the dude is lying and therefore scum. So yeah.

Also WHO ARE YOU

If I wanted to point out a person is mafia, I would have pointed out a person is mafia. However, I did no such thing.

ok, RO is confirmed for scum. Let's lynch him.

That's true rayn, the plan does rely on the players that step up to be town. However it isn't a downside because the alternative is using no plan in which case scum can pick good roles anyway. Using this plan doesn't mean that the players that follow the RNG idea are instantly labeled town for the rest of the game. They'd still be under scrutiny. All it does is make it riskier for scum to pick one or two of the roles we consider the strongest for them.

I think the best plan is that everyone picks whatever they think it's best for the town. People are anyways going to claim roles later on in the game. Then we figure out if they are lying/telling the truth, is there a town or scum motivation for them to pick the role they did and/or does their explanation make sense from town/scum PoV.

this guys i also confirmed for scum

Depends on if you want us to vote for him too or not.
@Austin I don't have the time to read through that thread entirely, but from what I got out of it is that 3 people picked Janitor/CPR to ensure they had three people that could be held accountable for those actions? That sounds a bit excessive and I think we can get the same effect with less losses on blues from town's side.

he is mafia

vote for him or else you're scum

nope, these discussions are still a waste of time and energy, and only feed mafia plans to base their number picks on. besides the roles rarely have an overall effect on the game, unless, say, you're a mole that does a listcheck night 1 that totally demolishes any half-thought out strategy.

Morning all, things seem to have gotten heated pretty quickly. I've just skimmed the thread so far but I'm going to jump in with my opinion on the draft.

Setting predefined picks for the draft order tends to work out well for town. In fact it is a large reason for mafia getting caught out in the last two PYP games I played. However it is massively un-fun, and I feel goes against the spirit of the game. Its also the reason I got rid of the whole drafting phase in the PTP games I hosted.

If the majority want to go along with a pre-defined pick order, I'll co-operate. But given that there are almost three times more roles than players, why not have a free for all and play the game like its supposed to be played?

I've specifically addressed this point before, but I will reiterate.

You removed the draft order because of how you feel the game should be played. BC, then, made an obvious decision to NOT do that. Don't you think he has a reason for doing that? Should we just ignore possible advantages gained from setup just because we feel like it goes "against the spirit of the game"? If BC felt that way, why did he include the draft order? If he doesn't feel that way, why are you not trying your hardest to win? If it isn't against the rules, isn't it presumed by the host that it might happen?

oh god dont mention the host as a way of making your point.
Please dont.

Austin, arent the mafia favoured roles instantly killed when they are outed anyway, because they chose that role = they are mafia? Like we dont need to say 'OH YOU CONTRADICTED YOURSELF AT THE START. SCUM'

Also arent there only like 4-5 roles that everyone knows that are best for scum?

I just dont see how this discussion is a useful way to spend our time


And what, pray tell, is a more important way to spend our time at this very moment? What would you rather be discussing?

why we aren't voting to lynch visceraeyes, for starters

but yamato i thought you said
(your post) is retarded and an anti-town sentiment. While it isn't alignment indicative, it is worth me saying; ignore the fuck out of Caller. This discussion has real meaning, or you can be sure that the no-bullshit player in yamato wouldn't be having it. You are not mafia for having this discussion, and real reads can be gotten here.


so wait first im retarded and anti-town but not alignment indicative (if im anti-town but that doesn't point anything about my alignment, what the fuck could that mean? hmm?), then you tell people to ignore me, then you suddenly think im mafia. but only after oats is trying to scumdefend me.

You've spent the entire early part of the game essentially trying to instigate debate and win credibility points through them. You claim that you're a no-bullshit person, then you start bullshitting. You claim I'm anti-town, but that doesn't mean I'm mafia. Then you about-face and claim that I am mafia. Then you start bullshitting and requesting bullshit that I am mafia. Given this, after receiving a few half-hearted answers, you'll claim that you just think I'm a stupid townie and that you were just scumhunting.

ACTUAL FOS on yamato77.
