Funny. I'm the one with that feeling right now.

Few things make me few so weak and incompetent than playing mafia in this site. It's like everybody is multiple orders of magnitude better than me at the game, as both civ and bad.

I've been beaten up so badly here that it shaped by playstyle. I used to be a lot more confident when I first came here. Now I changed my playstyle, but it doesn't seem like it's working either.
Your old avatar gave off more confidence.

Dunno if this makes a difference, but you might be right.

This character is a godamn badass, though.

I had a gut feeling of jack all game, but didn't feel like acting on it.

Meh.

Should have turned Tinfoil DDL Mode from the start and just rolled with it.

I'm almost lynching Sig because his absence in mylo bothers me on a visceral level.

Tell me about town reading Kyle and Speedchuck. Are you still townreading either of them?

Btw, Kyle is higher up based on EOD 1. If he's bad, why let MP tie for lynch? Why not cement Wilgy (who was all over him) as lynchee?
I've been townreading Speed because I thought the way he was defending me when no one else was felt genuine.

I'm more torn up on Kyle... dunno how to read him. But I liked his defense against the no lynch thing, and I still think he looks better than the other two because of self defense.
Of course, you know there's a chance you're being pocketed. Speedchuck still look genuine to you?

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "self defense?"

Yes there is a chance. But I felt that, at the time, a mafia would be more on the fence about lynching me since I was the #1 suspect and my vote tracking has been abysmal. Not sure about it, call it a gut feeling.

And the self defense means Kyle was in a difficult position since the alternative was being lynched. Of course he didn't make the best possible decision, but at least one civ didn't. And out of them, Kyle is the one with the most pressure to save himself.

Of course, that doesn't mean I'm not open to possibilities. But from what i've seen so far I want to lynch Bob.

We have to stake the entire game on something, don't we?

I don't have conviction... no I don't. I'm guessing who is lying out of a bunch of forum posts. I'm not Sherlock Holmes, I can only make the best guess.

Kylemii wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2017 3:53 pm @Dragon D. Luffy okay I meant to elaborate on that before pressing send

My question is why adopt such a lax attitude

What lax attitude?

I picked a criterium for lynching and i'm using it.

I think that no lynch was the most anti-town event to happen in the entire game so I'm betting there is a baddie among those who did it.

And bob hasn't done much all game so I'm fine with this lynch.

Reminder there is a good chance Daisy protected someone who is already dead.

I'm not passing the button to Jack. He's just posting more than me. My post count this day has been higher than in all other days except D1.

I'm still doing my own thing.

Inb4 wolves are Jack and Sig.

Also @sig where are you? Come to the playground.

I want to lynch one of the no lynch people and Bob is the only one I've never read as a civ.

Going to go with him for now.

Tbh I think I'll die before I get CFDs.

colonialbob wrote: ↑Sun Nov 12, 2017 6:39 pm I'm treating this like a typical Realms D1. If we end up on no lynch organically, fine. But by assuming it from the start we're missing out on a chance at gathering info.

Thing is, we are beyond the point of gathering info. That ship sailed last day.

It's lynch mafia now, or lynch mafia tomorrow. It's time to decide the game.

Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 12, 2017 6:09 pm @Dragon D. Luffy @speedchuck

Can you walk me through your Day 1 Wilgy votes? Wilgy would have been my top town read at EOD 1.

I was undecided about both the Quin and Mp lynches and thought the lynch was going to shit.

I thought of doing a CFD and went after Wilgy which I had no read on, because I heard other people saying they wanted dead so I imagined there was a chance I could make it happen in the 10 minutes I had. The point was to get a succesful CFD to happen and destroy the current status quo. Basically just make some chaos.

Yes!

I have no idea why anyone is voting or contemplating voting for anyone.

There are no more power roles. A mislynch is a mafia win.

We can win if we lynch right today, no lynch next, and then lynch right again in the next day.

I'm not decided whether that or no lynching now is the best move, tho.

This is how you bring a game back into activity. With a lighter and a bucket of gasoline, DDL-style.

Though you can argue whether it's better to do it now or in Day 6. Upside of doing it now is that there are less people to pick from next day. Downside is that we'll be dealing with s scenario where the remaining two baddies can easily push a lynch on a civ as long as 1 civ votes for each other.

Upside of doing it later is that we avoid that and don't provide such an easy way out for the baddies. But we have to get it right today with a 1/3 chance, instead of a 40% chance tomorrow.

I didn't suspect any of those three, I suspected you and speedchuck.

But lynching someone you don't suspect is still an infinitely better move than no lynching.

No lynch was a desperation move that saved both my life and technically yours, 4/7 of the thread was gone so it was the only viable option.
You are excused from it in my book because you needed to save yourself.

The other two are not.
Even if Kyle is town, it's still a bad move to go no lynch over lynching Kyle.

We gave the kill choice to the mafia and they picked Daisy. We could have lynched suspicious Kyle, which would be preferable in the endgame.

He doesn't get a free pass either. Like the other no lynch voters, his vote only helps him if he's bad.
That's actually a kind of weird line of reasoning. How do you figure that?

There were only two choices. One where I die and one where no one dies. Had I chosen the other one the situation would be the same only with one less player alive and still no new information gained.

Also... not to put too fine a point on it the whole "hey, lack of participation is poison" thing but, I was 100% ready to die until the only person online at the time told me it was better not to.

You are oversimplifying it.

You were being lynched. People came online. Speed was arguing with you for a while, and Bob came later. Around the time, you and speed could have started a lynch on any of the people I mentioned in the post above, and bob could have followed.

If you are a civ, your order of priority should be, from worst to best:

- you get lynched
- no lynch
- EVERYTHING ELSE

If you are a civ, you should have been pursuing the "everything else" scenario.

Jack has a point. It's possible that you went a logn with a no lynch because you have a teammate and wanted to protect them.

speedchuck wrote: ↑Fri Nov 10, 2017 7:38 pm I'm on no-lynch.

Discussion is crap, protection role is alive, current numbers say we'll gain an extra day (one less number will put us at Lylo rather than Mylo if we no lynch and continue as normal). Math checks out. Logic checks out. Kylemii is giving me good feels.

Anybody around and up for it?

This is the post where you argue about voting No Lynch.

speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2017 3:45 pm 1 little, 2 little, 3 little MP posts
4 little, 5 little, 6 little MP posts

Actually, a no lynch gives town some time to get free info if there is an info role. Quick math:

No lynch:
D1: 10 players
D2: 9 Players
D3: 7 Players
D4: 5 Players
D5: 3 Players (LYLO if 1 scum)
D6: Scum overrun if we get here and game isn't over.

Lynch on D1:
D1: 10 Players
D2: 8 Players
D3: 6 Players
D4: 4 Players (MYLO if one scum)
D5: 2 Players Scum overrun if we get here and game isn't over.

So in each case, ignoring D1 on the no-lynch side, town gets the same number of days to try and lynch the scummers. No matter how many scum there are. For every scum, take off a day's worth o' time. See how it works? An' the No Lynch D1 gives townies more info on their allotted lynch days.

HOWEVER!

This only works perfect if'n we got no doctors, vigs, or scumblockers. So I'm more inclined to lynch a scallywag on the bright and early day.
Long Con, what say ye ta that?

Shiver me timbers if'n I ain't about to throw a vote on me swabbie Dunya, fer the brine'd do 'im good I reckon!

linki: I am a cat. I swat at people until they respond, and then run away.
I kid. I have no idea what my gameplay style is. I've been told it's analytical, with a lot of chewing over motive and vote placement.

Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2017 4:54 pm Because the only thing that happens is that you give mafia an extra night kill, and then you are back next day with no extra information and one less civ alive.

It may give the cop an extra investigation yes, but the cop shouldn't reveal right away anyway so day 2 usually doesn't have anything new, and the cop could die before they reveal so the risk may be not worth it.
+1 to this analysis.

You don't lose a whole lot by D1 no-lynch, since the extra night kill just puts you at Lylo instead of Mylo. But the trade-off doesn't net you anything either, so you might as well keep that extra number advantage in your wheelhouse for later.

Who knows, a doc might pull through and give us an entire extra day. That won't happen if we give mafia an extra kill.

HOWEVER!

In these two posts you show you were aware this is only a good move if there is an even number of players left, and only if there are no doctors to stop the kill.

So later you went and voted no lynch with an odd number of players left, contradicting your previous logic.

Please elaborate on what made you do a 180° in your previous logical reasoning.

Yes, I blame myself for not being here during the last 2 hours to smack everyone in the face for failing at this game on such a fundemental level.

Though I'd be lying if I had said it came to my head "I need to stay at home or they might No Lynch"

But that doesn't mean I can't point my finger at you and figure out which one of you guys is the baddie who was going along as the civs shot themselves in their feet.

And it wasn't the one viable option. You could have voted for literally anyone else.

Really love this sentiment. 3-4 people who weren't around at the end of the lynch phase and also not there during a lot of the discussion period come by to criticize the choice that was made during it.

Yes I do.

This is mafia. Criticizing other people's choices is what this game is about.

You can criticize my own moves all you want. Vote for me for them, either. But you are not taking my right of criticizing yours.

No lynch is a godawful move 99% of the time.

Also, we should look at Daisy's posts for any hints on who she protected day 1. Basically whoever is her #1 civ read from day 2 onwards is probably confirmed civ.

Their vote tracking is abysmal. One has pretty much abstained so far and the other hopped onto the "Worst Move a Civvie Could Possibly Made" lynch and I like to believe he is experienced enough at this game not to do that.

Granted, they are not the only ones, but I think we have been paying too much attention to people who have been around since day 1.
Correction - one wanted to lynch you, that wasn't happening, and he went no lynch because he thought kyle was townie from what he'd seen.

Also I hate not having a track of vote trains. One of my favorite analyses and it's essentially impossible here, so I'm having to come up with new strategies to read people (made harder by the fact that I haven't been here from the start).

You don't know if Kyle is a townie or not. Unless you're bad.

And lynching a townie would have been better than what we did now (no lynch twice and basically hand free kills to the mafia). At least we had a slight chance of hitting mafia if Kyle was mafia.

Now we don't know if him, me or anyone else is mafia. And we are heading to lylo having to lynch right twice in a row.

Votes per player:

DDL:

2- Dunya

Sig:
1- Quin
2- DDL
3- Quin

Kelymii:

Jack:
3- Jack
4- abstain

Bob:
4- No Lynch

For easy reference:

If there isn't at least one baddie who voted no lynch last day I'm banging my head on my keyboard.

How did we come to the point where we no-lynched twice?

That's two extra kills we gave to the mafia.

What the hell, guys?

Can you tell me where your head is at?

I've lost focus on this game in like Day 2 and now I'm barely keeping up with it.

I'm gonna try to ISO everyone today to see if I can get a grasp of this game again.

Unless we no lynch again tomorrow, which has now become the most optimal move again, unless the doctor/jailkeeper does his work.

Eh... no?

We have 7 players left. If someone dies this night we are left at six. So we just wasted a lynch. Now we have to lynch the two baddies left in the two remaining days.
If we had lynched town yesterday:
Night 4: 4 town, 2 mafia
Day 5: 3 town, 2 mafia - LyLo
Night 5: 3 town, 1 mafia
Day 6: 2 town, 1 mafia - LyLo

Going no lynch:
Night 4: 5 town, 2 mafia
Day 5: 4 town, 2 mafia - MyLo
Night 5 (no lynch): 4 town, 2 mafia
Day 6: 3 town, 2 mafia - LyLo, same as Day 5 above

or

Night 5: 4 town, 1 mafia
Day 6: 3 town, 1 mafia - MyLo

That all checks out, right?

It does.

And it proves what we did was the worst move. Because not only we missed a chance to take down mafia, but now we have to get it right with 6 players left, as opposed to 5.

Speed looks town to be for reasons said before. Though I didn't like his d1 vote very much. But his d2 vote is nice.

I don't have a big read on Sig. I was suspecting him for the cop thing early, then backpaddaled as I decided it fit his meta, and now I kind of forgot what i'm thinking of him (this applies to most players tbh). His vote tracking looks kind of bad tho so I could vote for him.

Right now I think I'll vote for you. I like dunya's points about you.

I'm sorry guys my activity in this game has been horrible but that's what I get for wanting to be active in two sites at once. I need to go back to my old alternating style.

Jailkeeper is a doctor who also roleblocks the person they are protecting.
