If I'm a LMS I'd rather mark then inherit the kill. The mark is ostensibly more powerful then a NK. NK turns you into something that can be interacted with during the night phase.
Unless they can do both, which would be an answer to the why fire the power at the time they did. (IE they kill all the mafia and still can mark). But I seriously doubt it.
I don't think meta mechanical numbers read is useful. "There can't be x amount of scum because it doesn't makes sense"... The fact is there was a night kill, if the LMS inherited it, again no proof, why does the marker choose to kill that way instead of marking?
If it's a forced inherit, it makes even less sense than before for the marker to off the entire mafia when they did.

Re: Phenon Mafia: Day 6 - Culling of the Weak
That's not the argument you're making. You're talking about the strategy inherent to the marker eliminating the mafia team, something they couldn't have known. Indeed, your argument appears backwards to me. In a scenario where the marker inherits the kill, wouldn't they have more incentive to eliminate the mafia team? Removing other players from the game is the most fundamental means for any anti-town player to move closer to their win condition.Fredwood wrote:JaggedJimmyJay wrote:So the marker knew Golden and Quin were scum?Fredwood wrote:If it's a forced inherit, it makes even less sense than before for the marker to off the entire mafia when they did.

In hindsight one can say almost anything about inference of an autopsied players guilt. He knew that he marks on Quin and Golden, and that there was a definite possibility that they were mafia. If they were gaming the numbers, that would make the whole 5 mafia thing stuck in their mind.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:That's not the argument you're making.

I'd think they thought there would be a high probability that at least one of them were.
So if I'm the marker, I activate the kill, there's a better than 50 percent chance, to my estimation that the entire mafia gets eliminated. Yes, 3 players removed is beneficial to them, but not when the removal of all 3 of those players leave you in a 1v7 scenario with no other way to reduce the numbers. I'm not saying that they knew for sure that Quin and Golden were mafia, I'm saying they had to think it was a possibility. With that knowledge it puts them in a distinct advantage in the end game if they have a killswitch on scum. Why sacrifice your advantage when the majority of your success is luck dependent anyway?
To me the only way you make that play is if you don't feel that you are in danger of being lynched in a 1v7 situation or a POE scenario but are in danger of being NK'd.
Additionally I disagree about wanting to inherit a forced NK. The very nature of the role makes it hard to counter by standard methods, especially with my built in counter being dead. A forced NK takes away that advantage and turns the SK into something that can be either prevented, misdirected or seen.

So what exactly do you propose the marker should have done? We know already that Quin and Golden were definitely marked by some means or another. Maybe they were marked earlier in the game before suspicion began to mount.Fredwood wrote:To me the only way you make that play is if you don't feel that you are in danger of being lynched in a 1v7 situation or a POE scenario but are in danger of being NK'd.

Re: Phenon Mafia: Day 6 - Culling of the Weak
If there's a Jeremy Bellic out there who is not speedchuck himself, then I think he's close to confirmed non-mafia. That Marmot was one of the other two would seemingly break the role in part if speedchuck is mafia as well, because that information can easily be discerned in BTSC.speedchuck wrote:Jeremy Bellic

A Mafia NK and another mark makes the numbers 8 people with kill control over 3 of them. I let everyone bicker between Golden and Quin activate bomb late in the phase, leave 5 people and mark/kill another person. Leaving myself in a 1v3 situation.
To me it's a much more manageable situation if I wait one day, because my activation are in no danger of dying before then.

Re: Phenon Mafia: Day 6 - Culling of the Weak
Let me recheck the numbers There was 11 at the start of Day 5? Long Con Lynch makes it 10, Mafia kill makes it 9 with another mark. So if 9 players left with a 33 percent kill control. Kill 3, leaves 6, kill one more next night phase leaves 5...so it's a 1v4, but it's still better then a 1v7.

1. Your argument is built around your pursuit of a superior numbers scenario, like the 1 vs. 3 situation. This still relies entirely upon the marker knowing that Golden and Quin are scum. If even one of them is not, then instead of 3 town vs. 1 rogue it's 2 town vs. 1 scum vs. 1 rogue. If neither of them are, then it's 1 town vs. 2 scum vs. 1 rogue. The best case in those is a kingmaker scenario where the townies vote on the winner against their will. Consider the current scenario again under the same circumstances:
If the mafia are eliminated, then right now it is presumably 6 town vs. 1 rogue. The marker couldn't know the mafia would be eliminated. If one of Quin and Golden is scum, it's 5 town vs. 1 scum vs. 1 rogue. If neither of them are scum, it's 4 town vs. 2 scum vs. 1 rogue. These aren't terrible situations for an LMS player either.
2. Quin and Golden were almost certainly not the only players marked. The marker could have expected someone else to die too, perhaps a town read, but that player had been demarked by Jack or otherwise redirected by one of the bus drivers.
3. This again hinges on the notion that the marker has a choice regarding when the detonation occurs. I have personally written a demo man role where there was no element of choice -- Strawhenge mentioned it earlier today.

Re: Phenon Mafia: Day 6 - Culling of the Weak
Best case scenario would have been hoping for a mislynch today after activating the marks for a 1v3 on Day 7...so my math is still possible.

3. This again hinges on the notion that the marker has a choice regarding when the detonation occurs. I have personally written a demo man role where there was no element of choice -- Strawhenge mentioned it earlier today.
3. So did I. The reason I have a hard time digesting the time of detonation is when it occurred. Why does spirit make it more difficult for himself to put a random time on it. Second, why do both activation go off at the same time? If it's random, wouldn't they have gone off separately based on when they were marked not together?
As for the rest.
1. No, it does not. My point is that there had to be a pretty good idea in their head that they were both scum. If I think there's a 50 percent chance that Quin, Golden or LongCon are all scum, I'm happy to let day 5 play out without interference. It's too big of a risk to eliminate the NK, imo.
In the scenario you posited, yes, they're not bad, but they're also not better then a scenario if you wait a day. If they wait a day and one of them is town and one is scum, they're in an even better situation, because then you're in a 2 v 1 v 1 scenario the next day or at worst a 3 v 1 v 1 because it's definitely MYLO at that point.
2. Jack posted all of his targets in thread, so there's no reason for one to expect other marks to go off if Jack visited people he marked earlier, or they're already dead. It would have been very easy for him to know who was marked based off of the information shared in thread.

I'm a Seducer, once per game I can target a player that I lure back to my room, removing them from the game for that night. Additionally I could ask a yes or no question. I asked if Soneji was town and got a "no"
I seduced Soneji on N3 and asked if he was town, got a no. Why is why I was saying I wouldn't vote for anyone but Soneji on Day 4.

Re: Phenon Mafia: Day 6 - Culling of the Weak
I take that back, I would have voted Scotty as well, but that's just because he was also on my bad list because of his D3 pressuring of Sloonei and Speed, which I thought was a bit scummy because they were pushing hard for the lynch on him previously. Didn't feel like a strong case and reeked a bit too much of desperation.

You thought we were giving Soneji a pass "because we learn nothing from his lynch"

Most importantly, I don't see any moment where you declare that Soneji is the only vote you'd make, or where you cast severe and confident suspicion on Soneji, or you do anything to hint that you know based upon your night action that Soneji is not town. Show me what I am missing.

Re: Phenon Mafia: Day 6 - Culling of the Weak
Last post. I did...when Jack was pressuring to make a commitment to him or Quin. Juliets even asked who I wanted to lynch instead.
I said like Scotty did...Scotty jumped in, said he hadn't read anything and then voted for Soneji with no concern for the vote situation or discussion at the time. When warning against the hammers had been prevalent to that point. Just thought it was concerning that he voted at that time and had no idea what the situation was.
The vote count was an estimation, it turned out to be wrong.
9 minutes left, a vote for Soneji would have resulted in a tied lynch between him and LongCon. Just because I would have only voted for someone didn't mean I was going to take a chance of the lynch being stalled...the only reason there would have been a mislynch was because Quin Self voted, and opened the door for Soneji to force a tie between him and Quin. Those votes were moving back and forth rather rapidly, with Soneji being one away from hammer at times, to Quin and LonCon being away at hammer at certain times. I was just beaten to the punch by Diz. That's a lesson learned about EoD here, that holding your vote til the end isn't always the best, I should have voted with an hour to go, that's on me and if I get lynched for it, so be it.
As to the giving him a pass thing, I believe it was posted somewhere that we were going after the active scum first, and I had been bringing up Soneji's name for days at that point and everyone wanted to argue about Quin.

Re: Phenon Mafia: Day 6 - Culling of the Weak
Also, I believe I was still concerned about info dumping being a modkillalbe offense, so I wasn't sure how to say I had information without saying I had information, so I kept bringing up his name as much as I could in order to get people to not forget about him.

Re: Phenon Mafia: Day 6 - Culling of the Weak
I'm less concerned about your voting behavior, Fred. What I'm trying to understand is why there is no real indicator in your posts on Day 4 that you knew Soneji was not a member of the town faction. That is a very significant claim you have made -- you literally knew through information derived from your role that Soneji was not to be trusted -- I'd expect that to show up in your posts. You needn't have necessarily claimed it outright, but it should have been very clear that you wanted to lynch Soneji and only Soneji. No other suspicion could have possibly contended with what you knew.
Especially in that final EOD sequence when Quin, Long Con, and Soneji were all under so much pressure and it became clear that one of them would die -- why didn't you do everything in your power to ensure it was Soneji who was lynched? You didn't have the same advantage of information about Quin or Long Con, so there's no feasible reason you could have been okay with lynching either of them when you knew the Soneji option would result in a non-town flip. Please just walk me through what you were doing there, because it isn't making sense to me.

By that point in the game, I had openly claimed tracker. Golden had openly claimed watcher. Silver Lantern had openly claimed vigilante. nutella had openly claimed one-shot day cop. What was there to be concerned about?

Re: Phenon Mafia: Day 6 - Culling of the Weak
I thought it was clear that I only wanted to lynch Soneji. I would have been okay with Scotty, and when I would mention, I would mention Soneji more at that point Scotty wasn't a serious consideration. I mean short of bolding it and saying LISTEN HERE MOTHER FUCKERS[/b] what else should have I done? I kept warning about wasting more time and resources on Jack and Quin, pretty sure I told Sloonei that it was better to kill Soneji because he was a better choice.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:I'm less concerned about your voting behavior, Fred.

Again...the final sequence it wasn't clear that Soneji would be lynched, It was Quin and Long Con, then there were a couple of votes back up to Soneji that if I had voted for him would have caused a tie. Then all the vote swapping, like I said, to do it over again I would have voted earlier...I agree I fucked up, and there was moments of confusion. But I do recall being that late in and saying if I vote soneji I tie the vote and the last thing we needed was a no lynch.

Power claiming is a little bit different then info dumping I think. No one had used any of the info to lynch anybody. So there was a distinction between the two in my mind at that point. I don't see how I get to one without explaining the other.
Additionally, if I could have gotten him lynched without spilling everything it's a much better situation to be in, no more information is released to mafia then is needed.

I'll think over what you've said Fred. In any case thank you for dealing with my interrogation. I don't quite understand the way you've played it, but that doesn't mean you're dishonest. Sometimes civilians are the most confusing players there are. I'll see what others think.

Re: Phenon Mafia: Day 6 - Culling of the Weak
I lied and ruined my poetic sendoff, but I caught that at the end.
I know it's a one-shot, they don't know it's a one shot. Even if I say it's a one shot, how likely are they to believe me anyway?
NP, it's pretty damning for me any way I slice it. So it's not as if my hole is any deeper than it was before, I'm just the best target right now based off POE and really don't have a lot to defend myself with. If I wasn't me I'd be inclined to lynch me too.

At this point it's strategic critique which isn't the greatest determinant of alignment. So we'll see how I feel in the morning. Maybe I will solve the game in a dream and all of you will witness my great epiphany.

Re: Phenon Mafia: Day 6 - Culling of the Weak
I'm not understanding the fear of info-dumping. There's nothing in the rules about info-dumping and I thought it was always allowed in closed set ups. I do understand the issue of not wanting to say the role power even if it's one shot due to the mafia potentially not believing the claim.
Is the MP power issue solved to everyone's satisfaction?
I'm off to read Fred's posts to see what I think about the Soneji knowledge.

Fred, can you explain this seeming discrepancy? When Jack flipped as a marker and the subject of demo man came up you said:
So in one place you're saying you never heard of a demo man and in another place you are saying you have put it in a game before. Is there something here I am misunderstanding?

Re: Phenon Mafia: Day 6 - Culling of the Weak
Ok, I read through the vote for the Soneji lynch and it seems to me there were prime opportunities for Fred to vote for Soneji. This was the count at 10:34 pm:
The 6th vote didn't come until 10:42 pm when MP voted for Soneji.
Then MP unvoted Soneji at 10:48 bringing the vote back down to 5 presenting another opportunity to vote.
AT 10:52 the totals were presented so there should have been no confusion about what the vote was:
At 10:58 Soneji votes to Lynch Quin, tying it.
At 10:59 MP and Dyslexicon vote to Lynch Soneji.
Fred posted at 10:43, 10:47, 10:50, and 10:51 but none of those were votes for Soneji.
I'm just having a hard time seeing this as someone who knew Soneji was bad and didn't vote, especially between 10:52 and 10:59. I understand we were experiencing major linki but that was a 7 minute span.
I will think about this some more and I'm interested to see where JJJ's head is this morning.
After this JJJ voted Soneji at 10:37 pm putting the vote at 5. The hammer was 7 so there was still an opportunity to vote after JJJ voted.sprityo wrote:It's that time AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
VOTALS:
Soneji (4): speedchuck, Sloonei, Scotty, juliets
Quin (5): Golden, Strawhenge, MP, Long Con, JJJ
Long Con (3): Quin, Soneji, Dyslexicon,
With 13 Alive it takes 7 to Lynch, 3 to Soft Lynch

Re: Phenon Mafia: Day 6 - Culling of the Weak
Does speedchuck's role claim make sense? Does it sound like a reasonable role for this game? It's not a role I am familiar with.
Fred did you mean to add something to my post or am I just not seeing it?

Oops. We were talking about the potential for the role to be randomly activated, not about if I'd heard of it before.
About the voting, hindsight is 20/20, I remember the EOD being a lot more hectic and flipfloppy then your summary suggests. I fully admit to fucking up and is probably the best case to lynch me. I also don't think it will have a lot to do with why I'm lynched either (Most likely lynched either way), if I ever play again I'll know not to bother waiting to vote.
