I doubt it. I'm not immune or vulnerable to anything. I simply cannot be targetted by anypony. At all.

Karrrrrrrrrrrresche · 10-17-2011, 07:10 PM

Wait a minute then it can't be me/Fluttershy because RPG can't target me in the first place. Unless I'm reading too deeply and it means immunity to the effects of being targeted.

I think it means effects at you can't be targeted, the cockatrice approach to flip town seems like a gray area that favors the targeting bypass.

If I night kill anyone who I say I won't, go ahead and lynch me.

As a thing that I thought of, if whoever we lynch of the two that RO says are scum flips town, I will go for RO, unless someone can give me good reason not to.

Right now, how I'm treating the situation is acting as Vig, until there are no scum left, and I'll then approach Karesh, or whoever else seems the best possible choice. He makes a good point about being untargettable, since that means that I probably wouldn't be able to approach him, and it would likely be someone else.

I'd suggest that Greg blocks the Don, and if I kill someone who I say I won't, lynch me then, but my views are biased.

ok, so IHMN wants you to flip before you go for the scum. Thing is I don't think he'll actually turn on us if he can flip to town, and if anything he would want to last longer so bringing a mafia victory sooner would be bad.

rpgdemon · 10-17-2011, 08:36 PM

Flipping before going for scum doesn't make sense, logistically. It means that we skip a kill on scum, to prove something that doesn't matter. If I spend tonight flipping, and I get killed overnight, I'm town aligned but dead, and no scum were hit. If I spend tonight killing someone who we know to be scum, but don't flip, the scum are hit, but I don't get to be town aligned.

It'll hurt the town if I flip tonight, since we miss out on a hit on scum. The only thing it hurts if I don't flip tonight are my chances at hitting any victory condition, since if I get killed pre-flip, I'll still be self aligned. Whether I flip tonight or tomorrow doesn't make any impact on my actions, since I'm going to be playing for the eventual flip, as there's no way I'll be the last one standing now.

Simple answer to this. If RO turns out to be lying rpgdemon should night kill him. If not Rpgdemon should night kill greed after that we can decide what to do the next day.

Ravashak · 10-18-2011, 10:57 AM

This is some theorizing based on the assumption that Oron is in fact the mafia don.

Just curious, but does a role-block on a mafia member stop the kill if there's more than one member (keeping possibilities open)? I'd assume it'd only work if it's the last member and/or the designated killer.

Under this assumption, I think we should roleblock greed and have rpgdemon convert to town this night. The flavor that we'll get should give some info, if the kill was stopped, i'd assume that greed's the last mafia member, who we can then lynch at our leasure the next day. However, if the kill goes through, there's probably still another mafia member hiding.

The other options is that a mafia kill can't be stopped at all, in that case, if rpgdemon decided to kill greed in the night, we'd be at an impasse. At that point we wouldn't be sure whether there's still someone we should lynch, but the game can't be over 'cause there's still a self-aligned character in the game.
So I think rpgdemon should convert to town tonight, that way, we'll have a course of action for tomorrow set already.
