I'm voting yay on Palmar's team because I have a town read on Palmar and I don't have a big problem with Dirkzor or Navilus.

My point is that none of that is indicative of alignment. At all.

I'm not sure why I should be concerned with limiting town's options if it increases town's chances of victory. No, that's not what I'm saying - I'm saying that by telling town that you'll nay-vote any team that you're not a part of, you're forcing town to consider you as a part of their team by virtue of them having a guaranteed nay-vote if they don't. I expect you and everyone else to include themselves on their own D1 team, not to would be ridiculous, but that's not what you said - you said you'd nay-vote any team you're not a part of. That's scummy as shit Kita.
You can think worse of me, but it makes the most sense from a game theory perspective.
Here is the probability of selecting three town players from the pool of eight others: 5c3/8c3 = 17.8% chance of success
Now here is the probability of selecting two other town players from the pool of eight players: 5c2/8c2 = 35.7% chance of success
It's not the perfect model because its picking at random, but essentially I'm doubling our chances of success by including myself on the team. I understand if everyone would follow this plan, we could never agree on a team, but if I can convince others to include me, I'm furthering the town win condition.

Confusing chaos with chaoser? You shouldn't put up with that chaos.

So we're still at 3-3 with chaos, dirk and Navillus out?

Assuming Dirk and Navillus show up and vote yay on the team, it will pass. Hopefully Dirk will realize what's up and vote nay, or we'll be able to convince VE or prpl to change to nay.
I just really think we can do better as far as a D1 team goes. Sent, Dirk, VE, and myself are all solid picks imo.

Yeah we had that discussion last Resistance. You're absolutely right, which is why selecting yourself for YOUR TEAM is optimal - but saying that you'll nay-vote any team that doesn't include you increases the odds of us not selecting a team in time, resulting in mission failure with NO information gained. It's a scum maneuver Kita, and you're scummy for doing it. I don't care how 'mathematically sound' it is from your perspective - we're supposed to be working together. You're not interested in working together. Like Palmar, you want everyone to work for you. Either get over yourself or don't participate in missions. That's basically what it boils down to, for me.

I'll vote yes now. I would post the same team (maybe switch palmar to someone else) anyway so I can't ask for something better at this point.
|
@kita except for the 33.3% chance you're not town and thus 0% success (unless you don't sabotage, but that's not really a probability issue)
I mean, claiming you're town is one thing, but using it as evidence, saying "I should be on your team because I know I'm town" anyone could say that. I'm the Pope. Am I suddenly wearing white robes and sitting in the Vatican? No.
So please stop using this as evidence.

Why not ask for something better? We have tons of time, and the deadline will extend if it needs to. I see no reason to settle for anything but the towniest D1 team possible.

@kitaman27 Are you saying that it's optimal town play to autonay any team that you are not on yourself?
@Palmar What should we do with Dirkzor and Navilus if this team fails?

Also, kita, your reasoning is dumb. If everyone follows what you say we will never get a team, as has been explained many times in the thread.

I was under the assumption that the team leaders would continue to rotate until one was selected. I asked in the thread, but received no reply. If this was the case, then obviously I would approve a team close to the deadline over no team at all. Are you honestly trying to say that I'm pushing a "skip the first mission" agenda? -_-
Doesn't look like it matters though as the team looks to be approved.

Apparently Palmar's plan is to send a D2 team if Dirk Navi +2, excluding himself if his team fails. I'm SURE this must be a misunderstanding, but I've asked him numerous times and he keeps on claiming that this is what we should do D2, which makes no sense.

Team leaders rotate until one is selected, and I think the deadline gets extended if we get too close.

Yep, unless its close to the deadline, like mentioned before. Obviously, I can't prove to anyone my alignment until I'm included, but I know my own alignment and it would be silly not to push an advantage if it were obtainable.

That question was clearly not addressed to you.
Why are you answering a question for Palmar?
