Ys Mafia (Current Phase: Game Over!)

[Fabloo]

It's too early to assume motives. Thinking in terms of majority numbers this early isn't that useful really. When you talked about I had a more broad definition of it. To me influence is defined by who is determining the lynches as well. Your hesitance seems to be based on the fact you don't want to take a chance on thinning our numbers.

I see what you mean by influencing the votes, mafia will pretty much *always* try and convince us to mislynch.  Ill probably still sit the first day out because the odds are bad but I'll be watching for any signs of mafia.  Since mafia knows who the other members are anyone trying to protect another specific individual should be suspicious since only they'd know who's on their side.

[Fabloo]

Your input matters. You said it yourself actually: mafia will try and make us make the wrong decision. By being proactive we can determine who is trying to do that and who is on our side. To me it is clear that you're not mafia however.

[NekoNekoRex]

Like town will lose influence if we mislynch.

Myslynch is always better than no lynch. As the day progresses (and the game as a whole) the motives of each player will become more clear. While the content of posts is important to this process, moreso is the actual votes lied down. A lynch flipped townie still provides valuable insight, as the scum need to vote townies to win, and almost always a town flip contains scum votes.

[Tom]

Not to mention they'll probably gang up on someone since they have between 2-4 votes at their disposal depending on how many they are.

Voting is always better than not voting as well. A vote is often your most powerful tool, even in the face of power roles. Voting is the most reliable method to remove scum from the game, and voting is the best way to express your intent and motive.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

Try to keep all of your posts on the one account so as to make it easier to read people's posts in isolation.

[Tom]

Sorry had True Administrator mode on, switched it off

[NekoNekoRex]

When the forum suddenly explodes because the admin can't turn on admin mode due to this game, I can at least say in confidence that Mafia sucks to the highest degree

[Tom]

Its actually the default so no worries, its more of me forgetting to turn it off haha.

[BigBangMeteor]

Again the main thing is not really whether we lynch scum today (though obviously that's preferable), but how our chances of hitting scum evolve as the game progresses. Even if we mislynch today, as NNR said, we get a lot more information for tomorrow. We know who voted for them, we know what their reasons were, and we can judge whether those reasons were good or bad. Whereas if we don't lynch anyone, we're basically just waiting for a guilty. And what if we get unlucky and our investigative role dies, or we don't even have an investigative role capable of giving hard guilties?

Also, the more we talk and engage with each other in the thread, the more burden we place on the scum to fake good posts that seem like they're trying to help town. If they just gang up and all vote the same person to try and push a mislynch then it'll become pretty obvious quickly who the scum are. We'll be able to see that they gave some BS reason for wagoning that person and lynch them the next day.

No words of wisdom for Tom, PX?

[Polaris]

lmao i was going to make a less coherent rvs post but i just noticed this and what in the world

PX should run another mafia now with the return of the Energy Meter™

##Vote: zwerdjib

everyone who hasn't posted yet is more likely to be scum than everyone who has posted so far, so i arbitrarily picked one of them :)

(note for newbies: "scum" is what people use to colloquially refer to the mafia, i don't know where this tradition came from but i think it's punchy so i will continue it)

[Yaersulf]

Can't faul that logic Polaris, lemme just choose someone who hasn't posted yet and....

Trust no-one, not even yourself õ_õ

[NekoNekoRex]

Do we just need to make a mafia slang glossary? How many times will be we be asked why Serela makes waffles?

[NekoNekoRex]

We can make in-post deadline timers. This is pretty cool

[ Expired ] until EOD1

[Tom]

In-forum deadline timers have been added to facilitate mafia and RaNGE contests (with submission deadlines):

These tactics don't work twice in a row!!

[Serela]

uh

##Vote:Raikaria

Also yes you want to still (painfully, awfully) attempt to find scum D1 because within the total mess, mafia have to pretend to scumhunt as well, while also if town just happens to pile decently onto a scummember, even if we lynch town in the end, we can later come back and look at how the scumteam discouraged a certain lynch from occurring and gain loads of delicious information off it

##Vote: Tom

According to my role PM, Tom is scum. Yes, indeed, I got sent the accidental role PM that tells me the name of the entire scum team! The other scum are, of course, Dormio and me, but you wouldn't want to waste your votes on that.

[Disquieted]

I want to talk about gameplay and not randomly vote, but I also don't want to ruin anything. I'll just abstain, courteously, with a helping of side-eye.

Nice timer.
