Soldiers of Light: Mafia - Page 6

I don't think we should lynch someone just because they don't post today.

As for my thinking about the miscount, I only think that's significant because he got the number he would have if he was a Mafia member and forgot to count himself. Any other number, and I would have let it slide, but one less than the actual number catches my eye. My vote stands until evidence is given otherwise.

I really have no explanation for the number mix up except my own stupidity and tiredness. I had just gotten off my flight back to my college and I was a bit tired. When I was typing up the post I was too lazy/tired to check the first post (even though I had read it before I signed up) and I was trying to remember the number off the top of my head.

I don't know about the end of the physical day, but if no one posts by the end of the game Day (note capitalization) I will be suspect of them.

Mesden, I know I started the MoM majigger, but my reasons are based off of experience and intuition. Experience because I've seen people who have earned such a reputation from past games that people automatically assume that they are mafia (although, one guy was mafia in about 80% of the games he played in, it became a running forum joke).

Intuition is a bit spottier and relies mostly on guesswork; Assume you're the mafia, and you have to kill one person. You have no basis for giving someone a threat-level, so maybe the mafia decided to look at past games and see who was a problem then, or maybe MoM proved himself to be an excellent router in-game through discussion. I only postulated that the SP-mafia was somehow involved because the alternative (that it was anybody who had ever read a mafia game) wasn't limiting at all.

For all we know, MoM had as much a chance to be killed through random chance as careful planned subterfuge.

The whole percentage thing brings up an interesting point I'd like to illustrate.

Chance of hitting threat to town = 7/29 = 24%
Chance of hitting threat to town with No Lynch = 0/29 = 0%
Chance of Losing Townie tonight = 1/1 = 100%

That's exactly what I meant by the way. I would go back and edit, but I'm worried about people overreacting.

I really at this moment have nothing to say, I'm not sure if we have any real suspects, but death, which was due to a miscalculation, so as for now I shall hold my vote.

The Wizard Who Did It · 03-26-2006, 10:15 PM

Mesden, the main problem we are having here is my stupidity. When I read CMP�s third post, I got the idea that MoM made some kind of really good move last game, and that the mafia were afraid of that MoM was too smart. I had forgotten about CMP�s first post, where he said that maybe the Mafia were afraid that he was PO again.

In other words, it is unarguable that the roles were random, as you said, but I thought that the mafia were afraid because MoM made a really nice maneuver last game.

Just to make sure it is clear, the Imposter is the SK of this game. He wins when he is the only one left. However, he can do other things besides killing.

Vote: DarthMauler64

Because we need to start voting so people can get 'evidence' against other people. Also, I'm going with the forgetting to count himself idea.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. What the fuck is going on here?

We're killing somebody for miscounting?

Could somebody explain why?

I believe the existing argument is basically that he calculated a mafia consisting of only 4 members, meaning he either miscalculated or (the presiding reason to vote) he forgot to include himself (as the fifth mafiate) in the calculation.

catlover20410 · 03-26-2006, 11:07 PM

Yeah. If he had miscounted it as any other number, I, personally, wouldn't have voted to lynch him. However, he said it was four, so it's possible he's a Mafiate and forgot to count himself.
