Re: Assassins in the Palace [END]

Woooo gg all!

What an interesting setup in that there were subtle hints thrown in to give yourself away as a guard. And most of those hints felt like obvious ploys to sound like you didn’t know who the king was. I can’t even really pinpoint them, but it was like…looking obviously guilty was a telltale sign that you were a guard lol

Good try Leetic and Epi! I thought we were gonna be screwed as we got into fewer and fewer people. I didn’t actually suspect either of you while playing, and I’m not confident I could if I played this setup again.

All hale Queen Michelle!

This is a pretty basic way to look at it, and sometimes going back to basics is best. Although sometimes the pellet with the poison's in the flagon with a dragon. It is known.

Long Con wrote: Fri Feb 21, 2025 9:29 pm Okay, so are we descending into a holding pattern of some sort?

Maybe it's time for each and every Guard to flip the script completely on what they have done before and who they have voted before.

Maybe nuking the poll a few times before the deadline will make it more difficult for the Assassins to track vote patterns in their search for the King (me).
I’ve fully embraced the chaos.

I will give it a serious thought. But as I said multiple times, I joined to play mafia first and foremost and I do think that the strategy is not that viable. At most, it pushes the chances just a bit more
You don’t have to completely follow it. Just at least think about if what you’re saying is spewing someone as not the King before you say it.
I considered those carefully. Btw, if the flip doesn't happen by now, I am down to switch to SVS

I take this post very seriously simply because it gives off "I don't know King" vibes. Because if you knew the King you'd also know that others know the King and as such, it's impossible to vote him out. King may very well be invincible here. This post alone deserves serious consideration on getting voted out.
The problem with defending yourself a lot is that it outs you as not the King. If you get piled on, make a ton of posts defending yourself, and everyone switched to another wagon then you'd just be outed as not the King because you had all that pressure on you and reacted to it like you thought you were going to die. So I'm actually posting that for guards, not the King.
Ok but see my point I was after was that if enough people treat it as the WIFOM game that it is, we can do anything we want!

We CAN step on a crack and save our mother’s back.

Because everything you’ve stated there can be just as likely.

Like my general philosophy when playing regular mafia is to emulate every game as my town game. Which we all should. But I tend to operate as scum with a distinct type of compartmentalization where I forget that I’m actually scum. Oops! Got lost in the game. Oh baby baby.

I guess it all boils down to how good the king is at also playing the WIFOM game. If they don’t drink wine, for instance, we’re probably hosed

Thunal33 wrote: Mon Feb 17, 2025 7:06 pm Hi everyone!

This game is pretty different from mafia. In mafia you want to give a lot of info and in AITP you want to give as little info as possible.

If everyone talks a lot and gives read lists it will be super easy for the assassins to deduce who the king is just by looking at who nobody wants to kill.

But if don't talk and just collectively vote off the first person to get run up with votes each day, the assassins don't have much info to work with and can't make accurate shots. There is no night phase so we have guards to spare and losing a guard isn't a big deal.
Okay so, I believe that this opening is anti-town.

Is it scummy? No. But it's anti-town.

Am I biased? Yes. I joined to play mafia and when I finally randed town I got slapped with "Let's not play mafia."

Do note however, that the strategy she showed was clearly barely related to this game for the following reasons:
1. There is only one scum.
2. Much less players.

Reason number one is a big problem and I'll explain it here simply.
1. There is no group influencing the voting and narrative. Everyone is an individual and so, it's possible to do pure random voting with 1 corruption.
2. For the same reasons, it was impossible to accurately determine scum except for everyone trying to figure it out through a King which is a bad tactic in itself simply because it exposes their King. In truth, in such scenario, town loses more because they are the ones hiding their partner and not otherwise.
3. I have once subbed into a game where only 1 scum was left. It was impossible to determine without looking at previous posts or mech. Or well, you can try psyhological tricks but there's only so much a person can do. In the end, the game ended up on russian roullete until mech confirmed towns won in POE. It's also why that tactic was the best for those specific linked games. The only real info to be found is for scum.

This game, although at first glance is the same, is actually pretty much another setup altogether just with addition of one more scum.

I take this post very seriously simply because it gives off "I don't know King" vibes. Because if you knew the King you'd also know that others know the King and as such, it's impossible to vote him out. King may very well be invincible here. This post alone deserves serious consideration on getting voted out.

No hard feelings, this isn’t the first time people have disagreed with the way I play and it’s not the first time people have scumread me for it. In response to one of your questions no, I’m not mafia.

And I’m actually trying to figure out the answers to some of your earlier questions because while my strategy is a good idea for 6 player AITP I kind of want to see how it translates to 13 player AITP and if it’s any different.
There was a simple and many would consider dum question I proposed at the start. "Are you mafia?"

"What kind of question is that? Of course she's not gonna say yes!"
"This questions is weird."
"this player is dum"

I expected just about everybody to have those kinds of reactions. Everybody but the person receiving the question.

You see, there are two types of liars. People who lie and people who try not to lie.
For people who outright lie and a majority of people on this small planet, this question is a waste of time.
For a small minority that is bad at lying or is explicitely overly aware of it and tries being as truthful as possible, this question is perfect.

Why? Because they will do anything but answer. Those types of people will ask a question back, ignore it, or answer in a manner that is not straightforward.

What happened here was an instance of ignoring it. My question disappeared into the sea of messages that she obviously saw as there were posts answering later posts. I received my answer but very late. It made me think of her being the second type of liar. And after looking at her ISO until this point, it really does give me off that vibe. A vibe of a person who is not a direct liar trying to blend in with truth instead of lies.

Am I crazy? Probably. Is it wrong to base a read on this? Maybe. But I am basing my read of something and this is certainly one of those things. You guys should try looking it her postings and see if the 'vibe' matches what I described it to match.

If the assassins know not to shoot you, that's one person they can eliminate from their pool for the rest of the game. I think it's a little better than being dead because you can still help town with your vote and the assassins can still tinfoil you, but it sure isn't good.
I don't think that any guard would worry about that. This game relies on POE mainly from what I have figured, or even if it doesn't that's how I am playing it. Honestly, the more outed guards we have the better for us. I don't find this particulary scummy but I absolutely don't find this towny and that's worth noting down.
Thunal33 wrote: Wed Feb 19, 2025 10:07 am I started entering my MU turbos with I AM TOWN! because of you.
This is probably just me wearing tinfoil but it does feel a bit like attempt at discrediting. It would make sense if it's a cornered wolf afraid of a townie finding others town.

Have you heard of POE?
Yeah and it's like the assassins are making a PoE of who's the king. They start with everyone and narrow it down based on how people interact with each other.
Same kinda vibe, feels a bit afraid of POE. This read honestly makes sense if we assume that some town are going to mess up hiding our King but uhh, I am playing with mindset that it's cool as long as I am not at fault.

Then at the risk of redundancy, for which folks are often downsized, I AM TOWN!
I started entering my MU turbos with I AM TOWN! because of you.
Okay, this is interesting, elaborate
I get miskilled a lot in them and wanted to sound towny. :p
Are you saying that you have a trust tell? That kinda uhh, uncomfortable to deal with as either alignment as it just breaks the spirit of the game. And what does that have to do with the other person?
No, I can do it as mafia too. Falcon is known for saying I AM TOWN every game so I took his idea.
Okay so guys, hear me out and don't choke me for this please. Is it far reaching if I consider the bolded part as scummy? It's not "I do it as mafia" but "I can do it as mafia" which gives off the TMI of "I am not mafia and didn't do it but I can do it as mafia". I know a distinct player that made reads based on such simple and unharmful phrasing and his reads are incredible. So yeah, I believe that this holds merit to some degree. The difference being that he is a long time player and I am a newbie hahah

Oh, IC. Why didn't you mention that before but only now?
He's entered with I AM TOWN! every game (regardless of alignment) for a long time so I forgot not everyone knew he did.
I am plenty sure that Dai and me indicated multiple times that this is our first encounter with this forum. Did it never cross your mind to warn the newbies of an obvious meta from potential enemy?
It's not something I have to warn people about.
Okay so this is a funny line of questioning from me. To word it nicely. It's dum. The purpose of this, rather than finding out on why she didn't warn us, was to see how she would conduct herself with it.

Because, you see, wolves have TMI. They know they are wolves. And they know they are being questioned by a town.
On the other hand, town doesn't have that and they don't know why an innocent townie like them is being tunneled by unknown alignment.

And that simple TMI is what makes a difference in this line of questioning. To wolf, this questioning makes much more sense than to town? Why? Because it's correct. It's a town questioning a wolf. Of course it makes sense despite the questions being a bit icky! And although her answer isn't particulary wolfy or towny, I find her seriousness in this situation to lean into the TMI side.

Falcon feels ~fine to me now, don't want to vote there today. I'll probably wait until later in the day to decide my vote or voice any suspicions.
This is just taking a safe route that although isn't AI is surely something a wolf that isn't particulary bold would prefer to do.

It's not something I have to warn people about.
Can you give me your best read on that player right now then? As you have meta, I'd love to see you giving that read. Also, feel free to mention any other players you can give a read on.

I know, this contradicts your "I don't want to talk tactic" but you should be aware that thread consensus is against it anyway so might as well cooperate. It's just a focus on one person, be it town or king.
Falcon feels ~fine to me now, don't want to vote there today. I'll probably wait until later in the day to decide my vote or voice any suspicions.
Any particular reason why he is fine?
I like that he's prodding and seems interested in solving the game.

Also no, I'm not familiar with Kr1ss. I play mostly here and on MU.
This is a post she made justifying her read on falcon. Which is fine. However, such simple reasoning isn't something that shouldn't inherently be used to find town and is definitely flawed in the sense that there a particular person doing exactly that but on steroids. Spoiler, it's me. Pretty sure others had similar or higher level of solving and prodding than falcon too.



*************


Exept for all this, no actual reads were made. The game was detached for her and no questioning was actually involved. She was fine with giving reads when asked but never cared to question anyone at all.

Along with the reasons provided above, and the fact that she is obviously not King since I am making a scum case on her so it's not a waste even if she is voted out as scum wouldn't target her anyway, I believe that this is a fine elimination for the day.

Jfc you post like how I post, except I don’t add sir or madam. That can be your thing. But jfc it’s uncanny
