Mafia: Basic

[The Wandering God]

Okay, I have a crazy idea. An idea so crazy, it will probably end up with me getting killed by someone (town, mafia, serial killer, whatever else). But, I always did like to play dangeriously. (Or stupidly.)

Before I give my idea, I'd like to make sure the majority of the players are behind it. If not, we'll just scrap it and try something else. Without further ado, here I go.

I wish for the PO to investigate me tonight, as well as the BG to protect me. GASP!

But why? Well, if I am guilty of being a bad guy, then the PO can step forward and say "Kill him". Then the PO will have the protection of the doc, as then we know that the PO is telling the truth.

But I'm not a bad guy. So why so this? When the PO finds out I'm innocent, they keep quiet. If someone else tries to step forward and claim that I'm the badguy, lynch me. When found out that I'm innocent, lynch my accuser.

So, if noone comes forward, you know I'm a townie. That means, we at least have someone in the game we know we can trust. (With no cult, no allegiances will change. At least, as long as no more special roles drop out )

Now what to do next, I'll leave more open than discussion.

Soooo, what do you guys think?

Even if you disagree, I think it's high time that we stop letting the town roles do whatever. (It was only in SoL that I saw them in the hands of truly capable characters, and I'm afraid to say it isn't always the case.) They should be doing what the town says. Now I realize the problem is, is that the mafia and serial killer can also say things, but that's why we need EVERYONE to vote on what they should do.

They can still operate in secret, but with everyone (mostly, hopefully) in agreement.

Now, just to see how long before people freak out and start voting for me.

Isn't your plan made somewhat superfluous by the presence of the Reporter? We're bound to have some confirmed townies because of him. We'd already have IC as someone we could trust if he hadn't gotten killed last night. I truly doubt that a Mafiate would be foolish enough to falsely accuse you if this plan does occur.

Yes, but do you really think the serial killer and mafia will let them live? I'm willing to be a known townie because I think it will help until I die.

It's a BIT one sided to your advantage. But, I'll side with it as it seems like a good plan and, hell, what's the harm in rejecting it?

EDIT. I misworded. I meant to say NOT rejecting. hehehe.

Your plan sounds good to me TWG (that ryhmed). Also, I'm starting to be a little suspicious of B_Real, since he seems to be mostly trying to start fights and then de-implicate himself (is that a word). Unless we get a better suspect today (when's the lynch voting over?) he's getting my vote.

[P-Sleazy]

are you saying to have me investigated AND protected by the PO and Doc? Now I thats a plan I have no problem with. But anyone would say that since the mafiates would try to assimilate themselves into the town and do what the town does, and a townie would want to be proven innocent to be safe from lynches, and the VIG. But that still leaves 2 roles that could kill you, the SK and Mafia. And if we know youre innocent, thats one less person they have to worry about in terms of PO and Doc, since neither of those two roles can protect themselves/investigate themselves.

But if we do go through this, and I'm still torn on the issue, do you have to be the first person investigated? Since you are proposing this, and we go through with this, You would have to have nothing to lose and everything to gain, meaning no mafia/SK role for you.

Well, I'm not quite sure I understand it. We would need the PO and the BG to protect and investigate someone every night? So, we would give a name on here telling the PO who to investigate and the BG who to protect. Wouldn't that mean the the mafia amd SK would know not to hit that person so no one would be safe from the mafia or SK?

[DarthMauler64]

So TWG, your plan is to have the town discuss what the various towns roles should do? That sounds like a good plan. But, I have to agree with Silly Kitty on the Body Guard thing. If we tell the BG what to do, then the mafia/SK will know not to hit that person. I agree with you on the PO and Vig though.

Also, I personally think that the Mafia went for Grthwllms, because the Mafia wasn't here and Newb had to roll for them. But, then again Newb might have just made another Mafia, temporary Don just for that Night.

Still holding my vote.

Okay, I thought more about it. If someone had told me to do this last game, I would have ignored them. The people who seem the most innocent are usually not.

If the PO finds someone bad so early, that leaves the PO vulnerable. There is no guarantee the doc won't get hit by the mafia/vig/SK.

[Thundergod Cid]

The Reporter will most likely reveal a townie within the next couple of nights, who could be protected by the BG. This accomplishes the same thing as your plan, while also leaving the PO free to try and find mafiates. I still just don't get the point of it.
