[GG] Red Army Mafia

It was a bright day in Liquidia and Caller was doing what men usually do on a Saturday morning: struggle out of a bed with a strange woman. It was an unlucky hour for him, struggling with the crap in his head and stumbling to and fro. Finally, after carefully making sure that he didn’t wake her up, he tip-toed over to his desk and tried to think through his massive hangover.
He flipped through pages and pages of information, but there was just so much of it that keeping his files together was impossible in his completely confused state. This was odd, Caller thought, as Caller lacks alcohol dehydrogenase and can only have one or two drinks before passing out.
Caller proceeded to stumble down the stairs into his kitchen and started brewing some tea, to keep him up to focus on his work as mayor of Liquidia. He figured that the mafia would soon be on to him, and that he had to get his information out in a coherent form-one of his mayoral opponents denounced him for speaking in gibberish and being very poor with using lubricant and honoring bets. That guy had left the town a long time ago, though, and he definitely wasn’t in any of the papers.
Caller then heard someone coming down the steps. Assuming it was the hooker, Caller waved a hand nonchalantly toward the stairway when suddenly the person darted about and threw a knife at him, barely missing Caller’s vas deferens. Caller retaliated by pulling out his pistol when suddenly another figure rose out of the ground, knocking him down on the marble floor and banging his neck against the hard kitchen counter. Caller tried to move but couldn’t: his spine had been broken and he was now a quadriplegic.
“You shouldn’t have vetoed the free wheelchairs bill,” smirked a new man, clearly the mafia leader, who strolled in the door, banging to some music on his iPod.
“You won’t get away with this…” gasped Caller as a henchman stopped to admire and memorize the scene. Caller knew this man as an artist, and his memory was perfect.
Before Caller could do anything else, somebody cut his jugular vein, and the blood spilled out, staining the otherwise clean floor. He was finished. One of the mafia stayed to close his eyelids, placing a coin on each. Then they were gone, as fast as they had come.

I would like to announce my campaign for office!

First off, my plan will be to lynch an inactive or someone who has posted but not contributed. With 54 people it is safe to assume the mafia is going to be hiding among the guarenteed list of inactives. This is especially true because the mafia do not know the other mafia, and thus they will not have any organized plans.

It is going to be important to weed out the mafia from the inactive list. As an elected official I will promise to do my best to keep the town organized. Since mafia do not know each other, the way for the town to win is to work as a team, since we have this advantage against the mafia, at least for now.

By keeping the town organized, we will be able to avoid a town defeat. The main goal I want to accomplish is to make the mafia afraid of being inactive. If the town is mindlessly killing each other, the mafia will have an easy win as they sit back and watch us die. It is my hope to prevent all this from happening.

Now I understand that nobody here has played mafia with me before, at least to the best of my knowledge. In order to familiarize myself with the town I have read nearly all the mafia games on this forum. By understanding how everyone here plays I will be able to better lead the town to victory.

Many of you may be tempted to not vote for me since there are "vets" playing in this game, and voting for a vet would seem like a safer play than voting for me. However I urge you all to think for yourself and not vote for someone because they merely claim they are experienced or "I'm good at mafia pick me!" in the words of L.

It is true that L is a very good player, so he must be considered as well, once he makes his actual petition. Looking over all the past mafia games, I could not help but be amazed at all the elected officials screwing the town over, when the official was indeed a townsperson. In lots of games, these "veteran players" could not keep the town organized and would ultimately end up getting lynched unneccesarily, doing nothing to help the town and staying silent, or shamefully getting themselves mod killed because they couldn't handle the game. I will do everything I can to keep the town organized and will not succumb to one of these fates.

Thus I urge you all to think for yourselves and not vote for someone based on their "vet" status or their experience. I plan to weed the mafia out of the inactives by keeping information open and the town organized. I consider myself to be more adept to behavioral analysis than clue analysis, especially based on my thoughts when reading the previous games. However all ideas need consideration; Falcynn's topic is a good start for a town victory.

I promise to be active throughout the game, as being inactive, especially as an official, will not benefit the town. I also urge everyone else to be active as well, as the more information the town has the better we can kill the mafia.

That all being said, vote for me. I will keep the town organized to weed out the mafia.

Because mafia are not a team for now, it will take the town longer to figure them out. In other mafia games voting patterns could quickly lead to a mafia's defeat. This game the town does not have that information. Depending on how many DT's there are, it might take us a while to figure them all out.

If your second paragraph here was in response to me, I said voting patterns, not vote checks. Sometimes mafia can get pinned down because they pile on votes on one person to save one of their own. Since mafia does not know each other that won't ever be happening.

Another consequence of this is that bandwagoning is going to happen a lot, and there's not much we can do about it. I want to say that it is quite possible first few days we keep lynching greens because there won't be much debate about it. A bandwagon vote won't help us at all.

I'm new to TL.net mafia, so if you're looking for some objectivity my posts might be relevant to you.

I'm not voting for MountainDew. His entire campaign could have been summed up in three words: "organize" and "kill inactives." In fact, he used the words "inactive" and "organize" six times each in eight short, fluffy, paragraphs. No thank you.

Coltrane isn't going to get my vote either until phrases like "I have a really good strategy, i will post it and after this i will be dead tomorrow unless i am office and have bodyguards." and "i am willing to use you all" start popping up a LOT less, though I do appreciate his more calculated and statistical analysis of the Ukrainian threat.

I've still got some profiles to sift through before I can offer any other perspective.

I vote for Mountain Dew, he seems to have a pretty good campaign platform, and Ace trusts him so I'm convinced for now.

My plan relies on people not being stupid as it always does. When you can point out in any game any time my plan has EVER been wrong and not been the right path to victory then you can question me. I dare any of you to find such a time. I'll wait.

easy, you ask for any information of both, then you lynch one and mafia kills the other, or you lynch both. is a 1:1 trade anyway, and it is good.

Ok, look... my maths arent wrong. by now i have tryed thousands of simulations (its really easy, i have alredy wrote a town generator in c++) and with this rules killing random, lynching random the right balance is something like 10 mafia, 4 vets, 4 medics, 5 NKVD. Anything different will make some kind of imba game, of course could be on more on one role or in other, but if there are more than 12 mafia we are screwed, if they are less than 7 they are, and so on with any of those numbers.
When i changed the rc on NKVD to vets town wins 53% or so... while putting them on ukranian town wins 59% Now i am at work, i dont have my code here, but at night i can post numbers or the complete c++ code if any wants to check it.

I changed my vote to L, since i dont want Ace to be elected and i think most of you just follow the shiny glow of those who selfclaim them as vets.
