Showdown Mafia

And after all, if somebody is confident enough, he will duel on his own. We should be careful after all to not become tunneled and emotional all too quickly, even though it's hard for me when confronted with HF's attempts to misrepresent my posts and paint me scum.

See I think, rather than an impulsive thing, duels should be forced by town consensus between the two scummiest people. That way the voting phase will mean something.

What if the two scummiest don't want to duel each other?

The reality of it is we should be able to pick our lynch before we even begin to duel, thereby ensuring that we get the correct lynch and that the mafia has no ability to manipulate the vote either way.

Since everybody knows I am town, I can ensure that whoever I duel will get lynched; ergo, this is the most efficient way of lynching people since there's simply no room for mafia to maneuver when the gauntlet is thrown.

"Forced" is such an unbelievably subjective term and turning this into a, "I don't like the way you're doing things" war is just a giant waste of time.

I'm not just going to let you tell people that I'm scummy for no reason and expect everything to be totally okay.

If you think I'm scummy, then pressure me. I don't like the fact that you're just going "nah I don't like this lol" and then just walking away like it never happened.

Mafia can cause a lot of chaos in the eventuality that two scummy people duel each other. Imagine if they both were townies. You mislynch one, and they can push the idea that people on his wagon were scummy, then maybe they mislynch the other, and so on. Besides, if mafia so wants, they can simply refuse to duel, upon which somebody has to take up the task and pick one of the two.

Seems rather unrealistical. I like the idea of having one townie guy duel somebody who is scummy, it will look one sided, but it will also be one of the opportunities where either scum shows face or has to give up on their teammate, if the target was right.

Or I'll just have you lynched.

Your call.

trust me bro. it sounds better in theory but it just isn't.

obi was clever because he added the point about people only wanting to duel ppl they think are mafia. if x and y are deemed scummiest but neither of them are each other's main scumread, then they just won't duel each other, and it won't really be scummy even if we try in vain to enforce the policy.

the only worthwhile thing is not to be a rash asshole.

Forgot to add that you should stop tunneling your inner koshi.

Palmar is good at mafia. I'm a high volume poster in every game. This is the first time he's ever made a post like that so it's different and very odd as he's only said it now in a game where he's guilty of spamming himself.

Spam as in contentless posts. When he posted that all he had said was holyflare is 100% mafia (in which case why would he make the post asking me not to spam?) and useless afking. So it should have been suspicious to a lot of people. Really though i just wanted cav to expand on his reasoning for things because i like when people give reasons. (palmars read post turned me around on him)

All he's done is say that obi is confident which = town (extrapolating on my part) and then say that this confidence if continued is probably forced. That's really it and a very odd sentiment to come into the thread with (when cav hadn't really done much more since then)

I know its been talked about a little bit but I agree with that it should be a confident townie against his top scum read. Its to easy sometimes when two people you think look scummy to tunnel them both and just not see whats going on besides that.

Did you read world cup though x_x? A game where cav was actually mafia and was pretty... I dunno.. Blendy/scared.

Well do it.

Also bat if you duel straight away and claim cop i would still lynch you because that's how silly it is.

And yea my post wasn't as clear as I would want it to be. I would rather someone who is confident take on someone who is their top scum read than the thread pressure two people who they think are the scummiest into dueling. It is very easy for low fruit to be pushed into dueling each other and getting mislynched and the town not learning much from it.

Maybe he is high off vigging scum from Titanic. Who knows.

Anyhows at this point I'm still feel goods about Palmar's list for reasons I mentioned earlier.

Anyone feel not so good about anyone who has posted thus far?

I don't know.

For some reason I always feel like I can try to talk some sense into you, but you always shove your head up your ass instead.

Whatever.
