About the priest analysis debate . . . angels/medics have been notoriously bad at protecting the right targets. And people were talking about using rain to allow the angels to protect the priest and avoid him getting suicide bombed.
I just figured that as it stands, it is much more likely the mafia would figure out who the priest is and kill him than the two angels.
The plan to claim to MBH only works if the priest lives long enough to revive him.
And FFS, I didn't start clue analyzing on the priest, I brought up for discussion whether or not we should clue analyze on the priest.

Yeah, Truthbringer wanting to search out priests is something I noticed, and didn't mention because it just seems kinda obvious that it goes against him. Sure, we could search out the priest, but posting it in this topic would only do two things. Allow the mafia to stack hits on him, and allow our angels to protect him. And we wouldn't have rain up, so the mafia could kill him for sure, and the angels, if protecting him, could die to a suicide bomb.
Before the Gosu message came to light, I had also been thinking about the kill list. What if mafia just chose seemingly random targets, to throw us off, and make us think that they didn't have any good players? Killing all green would make us relax a bit, and everyone has been saying things like "Okay, mafia doesn't have any good players, lol, we're safe", but spelling out the Gosu message, if planned, could tell a different story.
Waste the night one kills with a fun message. If we get any blues, cool. If not, all the better, they now think we're incompetent. Tonight's kills will give us a better idea, but it could have a lot more blue on it tonight, I'm thinking. :/

I don't get it why there are 3 guys randomly voting to lynch me. Both L's and BC's analysis seemed pretty solid to me, so I chose to abstain first. But now that ydg is voting for me I'm just going with him ;P Or was time for voting already up? I'm getting confused with the time zones...

Just taking my vote off of Truthbringer and having to put it on someone, didn't want to abstain since then people would suspect me of not wanting to be on a list anywhere.
And hey look, since I'm now vulnerable to be lynched, let's see who piles onto me to force me to be lynched instead of Truthbringer!

Wanted to point another thing out with why publicly stating who the priest is would hurt us. If we voted rain, the suicide bomber couldn't bomb the angel, however, mafia's KP wouldn't be lowered. So they'd still have KP of 5, while angels could protect 4. Even if both angels stacked, the priest would still die. (unless I'm overlooking something)
So unless we manage to lynch someone today that reduces mafia KP (unlikely), if the priest were publicly known, mafia could still stack kills and take care of him. There's only two ways this could actually help the town. If someone managed to create some absolutely flawless, that has us all believing, fake analysis on who the priest is, but it's actually a townie. Mafia/angels stack hits/protection, and one townie dies for the night. But I don't see anyway that could actually happen, as finding a townie that isn't mafia/blue, and then linking the fake clues to them would be kinda tough, and I doubt that mafia would buy it enough to stack all their hits. The other way it would help the town is more or less the same: Causing mafia to stack as many hits as possible, thus lowering the deaths for the night, but they'd only stack hits if they were pretty sure they were hitting a valuable target (the priest).
And the bad far outweighs the good there. At the moment, the town is moving pretty slow, and we really need MBH to guide us. If the priest dies before MBH is up, we just wasted a day or two, lost our resurrection ability, and one of the best players in the game, who happens to be a confirmed townie.
Simply put, there is absolutely no benefit to putting the priest out in the open, as the bad would far outweigh any good that would come from it. Unless mafia is retarded and screwed up the way they stacked hits.

Also, some people have been voting foggy (L has said to vote foggy today and rain tomorrow) - if it is foggy tonight, and we discuss priests, we won't have enough protection to spread amongst possible priests - it also could encourage angels to gang up on the town's consensus of who the priest is and then get suicide bombed.
|
I haven't actually done the math on 2 priests with 2 seperate protections each. I was operating under the assumption that they could only protect 2 targets.
The KP difference is probably close to .5 or .6 net difference, but the real gem in voting rain would be access to the vote lists tonight. The problem is that we need to organize the current vote in order to maximize the information we're getting and the current vote is tight. I doubt people will want to switch around.

I think either would be viable today, however, if we went with rain, a medic list might be a good idea. List checks could be very helpful (and in extreme cases may more than make up for the +1 KP), but ideally with rain, we'd want to knock the overnight kills to 4, if not even lower, so we make up for the -1 KP for fog.

A medic list is only going to give mafia potential targets to kill. Unless they have already figured out the priest or other blue roles.

Yeah, was thinking that. Just hope our medics are actually decent this game around, and can make okay decisions on who deserves a save.

Or is likely to be hit, rather.
