Mafia: Basic - Page 5

CallmePrismatic · 05-27-2006, 10:35 AM

So Ecurt intercepted a PM not meant for him and was about to use that knowledge in game? I won't shed a tear for that.

So, we're down a townie and the Reporter* is now shifted around. We're back at square one, except we now know that someone has the ability to watch Night actions, with a small degree of comprehensibility. Gotcha.

* Patrat, if you want a chance to get more attuned with the game, Inexperienced Mafia is in the sign-up stages, and I'm pretty sure it won't move too fast with only 8 people.

While I was gone I got voted for, and two people left. Fun!

Just to clear something up, I like my brother and have never had "sibling rivalry" with him. We get along. That is all.

Well, it doesn't look like we have anything to really lynch someone for yet, so I'm gonna vote we keep our ropes locked up today.

Vote: No Lynch

Vote: No Lynch

Because we'll have more to base our vote off of tomorrow? A No Lynch really isn't ever a good idea. All we do then is sit around while the Mafia and Serial Killer take out innocents. Lynching is the town's biggest weapon, we shouldn't just throw it away.

There was a quite nice thing explaining why No Lynching is a bad thing. It had percentages and everything. I don't know where it is exactly, but someone will probably bring it up soon. The point being is that that the only way the town can gain more evidence, (aside from the reporter and detective) is by accusing people and watching their reactions. For example: I'm accusing you right now. Tell why I shouldn't think you�re scum with your No Lynch vote.

Sheesh.

Fine, Unvote:Mesden

Honestly, though, Mesden getting a townrole would be like the Onion Kid living happily ever after. Ain't gonna happen.

Dammit, I don't even have something like a mis-speech to go on. Dammit, Mafiates, act like mafiates!

Mesden · 05-27-2006, 05:47 PM

No it isn't. I have the same chance as everyone else to get the same rules and any other remark implies rigging by the GM.

Anyhow, I DID get a non evil role before in Berserk mafia. I just became instantly evil again! ^^

Sorry I'm late, sporadic internet and constantly moving between me and my friend's house since school got out.

Vote: No lynch
Why No lynching can be a good thing:
The odds, with 2 townies dead, and 2 quit (since the reporter's position is filled by a townie, its the same as having a townie leave) the odds are currently, 14:7 or 2:1 of lynching an innocent or town alligned (vig, doc.). 14 out of the 21 players are town alligned that means we have a 2/3 chance (for those who prefer probability to odds).

And no one is acting particullarly scummy or suspicious.

We'll have better odds and more suspicions tommorow (reporter and another failed hit means we know who's innocent or not.)

CallmePrismatic · 05-27-2006, 06:30 PM

First, it's never good to no lynch, not on the first day, not ever. We shouldn't look at it like a "Well, we've got nothing to go on so let's do nothing", it's rings more loudly like "I don't want to upset anybody so I'm going to give the Night-Killers a free pass".

Voting No Lynch doesn't allow us to fast forward in an effort to find clues, because Night doesn't provide more clues, just more corpses. You want to know the odds that someone will die at the mafiates or SK's hands tonight if we lynch someone. 1:1. If we don't lynch? 1:1. We'll only have better odds because more people will have died (and hopefully the Vig won't be so trigger happy toNight).

Also, we aren't guarunteed another 'failed hit'. The Doctor and a Night Killer targetting the same person on the same Night are rare, not expected. And, sorry TWG, a person being saved by the Doctor doesn't automatically mean they're innocent, just that he was randomly chosen by two conflicting roles. TWG, and everybody else, should be viewed with an equal amount of suspicion.

For all of you voting no lynch, I got jumped for doing that in SOL mafia. I wouldn't recommend it. People will just think you are scummy even if you are not.
