Assassins in the Palace [END]

[daisukenowaifuke]

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.

And that means if you are voted, just accept it instead of trying to defend yourself or convincing anyone not to vote you. Don't try to start a counterwagon for self pres either.

Hi Miss, may I kindly ask, are you mafia?

Did you read the link? what are your thoughts on it?

Scroll past and read everything I said. I did do about 10 or so posts.

[daisukenowaifuke]

Also, I expected day0 to be somewhat dead but damn, guys, isn't it more fun when we actually play?

I get your zeal to play, but wait. I am backreading the old games on mafiascum to see what is the optimal strategy.

This specific setup games? Please send anything you find.

If you scroll down in the link that Thunal provided (https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Assassin_in_the_Palace) you can find the complete list of games. It's only a few.

@daisukenowaifuke mind looking into @Thunal33 and @S~V~S ?

I was suspicious of this person, until I read their link and saw the below sentence.

In fact part of the reason I chose to play this was because I knew it would be a really low time commitment lol.

As for SVS, they just seem unaligned to me as of now.

Scum is likely to give excuses to their bad strategies, often with low WIM or capability. I consider that excuse mostly NAI although it does help her case a little.

SVS thing is more of a paired thing. You see, they agreed and promote that (I think) anti-town strategy and there certainly could be a pairing with an already suspicious person.

Why does every site except my home one lack good emojis and liking messages. This is theft! Stealing enjoyment from us! May I complain to the mod for this game. Lemme find who that is

JaggedJimmyJay Sir, I respectfully have a suggestion to make. Mind looking into those? If indecisive, Blobs are cute, I love blobs.

I’m caught up

Hi Foxy! We haven’t met, I don’t think! You seem rip-roaring and ready to go, and it’s a tricky situation.

I read the link and the ‘optimal strategy’ proposed on that wiki.
My initial take is a strategy that “allows the town a distinct advantage and turns the game into little more than a lottery” sounds good for us, but if I wanted to play the lottery, I’d go throw a dollar in my garbage chute.

Further, this strategy of no info or reads is so antithetical to how I’ve ever play mafia, it might as well not be mafia.

So Resistance: Avalon is my favorite game. I’ve played probably about ~2000 games. The strat proposed here reminds me of the games where the first 3 missions immediately, triggering the assassin to kill Merlin, at, at minimum, a 33% chance to hit. If they miss Merlin, everyone shrugs and we maybe play again. If they shoot Merlin, it feels cheap, but we all shrug. Those games
aren’t distinctly fun or engaging for either party, in my experience.

So…I dunno. I want to still do stuff at a minimal capacity while also still sticking true to the philosophy of mafia and I’ve having trouble reckoning with that discrepancy

[Scotty]

Holy hell, how does Foxy already have 28 posts? It feels like a guy withdrawing all their money from the bank but at $1 at a time, with a coffee break in between

Nice! Glad that we are on the same page. Mind telling me your opinion about my two scum leans? What about my town leans? What about people I haven't mentioned. Nothing to note out of my read list?

Also, a little question, since you seem opinionated on how we shouldn't play the game, do you hold any more opinions? I am curious about how you see this setup and it's possible solutions? What way do you propose is best for us to go forward?

[Foxy]

You don't have to believe me on this but I am just glad I finally get to solve as I literally randed scum 3 times in a row... with same partner twice in fact.

[Scotty]

Whoa, finally town! I am so happy!

Have you never been town? This is giving ‘I just turned 16 so I’m finally an adult’ energy

That’s really cool because I’m learning Avalon right now and the logic can be really complex. I’m playing online on proavalon.com and I’m enjoying it for the most part even though I make noob mistakes sometimes.

Aye miss, if we veto that strategy (most likely scenario so answer seriously) what best thing do you propose? From Wolf persepctive, I'd like to know. What do you believe is best to do as a wolf?

I don’t think I have any opinion on your scum reads at the moment. Definitely taking this game a little slower. Note that I am usually the high poster in my games…I usually can’t seem to shut up.

So this strategy of randomly voting feels like an idealistic enterprise. We either all have to do it or not. And those that don’t could very well be just shrug yeeted.

Yeah, that’s what I’m gonna call this game if it does that way. Shrug Yeets in the Palace. Doesn’t have as cool a ring as Assassins in the Palace or Razz-ma-Tazz or Fluffy Douglas (my porn name)

Probably just as close to it as you feel would still make a fun game. I don’t mind talking off topic for fun but I’ll personally give minimal info in terms of reads this game.

I’d say if you are outing reads, leave outing your reads to a small amount of scum reads and try not to state town reads or do full read lists.

I’m not going to help the wolves. :P

Nice! I started with online Avalon and that actually brought me here, to forum mafia

Don’t worry about feeling nooby. After about 100 games I was the best player on the planet. After 1000 games, I realized that I’m not all that good, and actually might more of a noob than I thought. And that’s ok! I just love introducing people to the game and being a part of the magic

I have 52 games, plus a few back in 2021 on another account and I kept being surprised by how little I knew. I was like “finally, I get it!” a lot of times but then I miss something else.

Probably just as close to it as you feel would still make a fun game. I don’t mind talking off topic for fun but I’ll personally give minimal info in terms of reads this game.

I’d say if you are outing reads, leave outing your reads to a small amount of scum reads and try not to state town reads or do full read lists.

I’m not going to help the wolves. :P

Miss, this is a game of deception. You are allowed to lie, buss, distance, ignore, power push. I don't think that giving minimal reads is a healthy environment for any game but if you do believe that's the best strategy, I can only respect that and if I don't like it, answer with a vote.

I’m not going to force you or anyone to play the same way I do.

Btw, for anyone who didn't notice, this game has an ingrained cop system. How you figure that out is on your own but keep it in mind. Because of that, I sure scum read Thunal33

[Foxy]

Hi, may I get your opinion on just about everything?

I’m caught up

Hi Foxy! We haven’t met, I don’t think! You seem rip-roaring and ready to go, and it’s a tricky situation.

I read the link and the ‘optimal strategy’ proposed on that wiki.
My initial take is a strategy that “allows the town a distinct advantage and turns the game into little more than a lottery” sounds good for us, but if I wanted to play the lottery, I’d go throw a dollar in my garbage chute.

Further, this strategy of no info or reads is so antithetical to how I’ve ever play mafia, it might as well not be mafia.

So Resistance: Avalon is my favorite game. I’ve played probably about ~2000 games. The strat proposed here reminds me of the games where the first 3 missions immediately, triggering the assassin to kill Merlin, at, at minimum, a 33% chance to hit. If they miss Merlin, everyone shrugs and we maybe play again. If they shoot Merlin, it feels cheap, but we all shrug. Those games
aren’t distinctly fun or engaging for either party, in my experience.

So…I dunno. I want to still do stuff at a minimal capacity while also still sticking true to the philosophy of mafia and I’ve having trouble reckoning with that discrepancy

That’s really cool because I’m learning Avalon right now and the logic can be really complex. I’m playing online on proavalon.com and I’m enjoying it for the most part even though I make noob mistakes sometimes.

Aye miss, if we veto that strategy (most likely scenario so answer seriously) what best thing do you propose? From Wolf persepctive, I'd like to know. What do you believe is best to do as a wolf?

Probably just as close to it as you feel would still make a fun game. I don’t mind talking off topic for fun but I’ll personally give minimal info in terms of reads this game.

I’d say if you are outing reads, leave outing your reads to a small amount of scum reads and try not to state town reads or do full read lists.

I’m not going to help the wolves. :P

I feel a bit bad now hahah but this is part of game, don't take any bad feelings. Btw, what was that avylon game you guys talked about? I never heard of it

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.

[Thunal33]

Oh and it’s called The Resistance: Avalon and it’s kind of similar to this game in that there’s one townie that has to hide from the mafia, but it also has missions instead of voting people out.

I don’t think this discussion is too bad because it kind of continues what’s already there so idt we’re giving the assassins much new info. Giving lots of reads is what we have to be most careful of.

It looks like about a 70% chance town is able to kill both assassins before they reach parity if we eliminate by random (because I’m a nerd and felt like making a script for it). We can use the info we already have and any new info to increase that chance, but we’re already in a pretty good spot for eliminating both assassins. The assassins aren’t in such a good spot from the start, they have to get more info to be able to make good shots.

And Avalon does have a ranking system and sometimes tournaments but I’ve never played one.

It’s a website, proavalon.com. Some people take it pretty seriously and aren’t always nice so it’s probably best to start with spectating or unranked games before jumping in to ranked ones.

0. I was asking if I was personally making you feel uncomfy hahah as you didn't seem engaging at the start. Glad that's not the case.
1. What makes you believe that eliminations will be random?
2. Can you show me the process behind the calculations?
3. Oh nice, I might check out the game.

Hi Mister Town, I am Kriss. May you give some opinions about the mech talk?

[Long Con]

Why does every site except my home one lack good emojis and liking messages. This is theft! Stealing enjoyment from us! May I complain to the mod for this game. Lemme find who that is

JaggedJimmyJay Sir, I respectfully have a suggestion to make. Mind looking into those? If indecisive, Blobs are cute, I love blobs.

Rude.

Why do I always join inactive games, am I cursed?

For players in North America (EST), you are spam-posting between 8 and 10am on Tuesday morning. People have jobs. You need to cut the caffeine or something, there is no need to spaz out on a game that is still within its 24-hour check-in, pre-start phase.

[Long Con]

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.

This sounds superfun. We should also each agree to only vote the player below us, all game. Each vote a tie, Russian Roulette No Info, and anyone who deviates is an Assassin.

Hi kind sir, may I ask, from 1 to 11, how town are you usually? If you were to describe your townie self currently, what would be the perfect description?

One. I am 1 usually. I don't have a townie self.

[nutella]

I appreciate foxy's insights on strategy and he's made me want to lean more toward playing it like a normal mafia game (with a cop peek hiding kind of strategy). I didn't think thunal's idea to more or less random shrugyeet made much sense but I'm somewhere in between the two camps. I'm certainly not convinced she's scum pushing a bad strat on purpose.

Ok I picked “Other” and am writing in Galadriel <3

So @Thunal33 yeah I figured read lists were bad (yay I still feel like I’m target painting naming town reads).

In addition, based on the rules, pushing a tie would have to be a really bad look.

Well. Two way ties would be bad, but a 16 way tie could work? Especially with no NKs?

Young miss, in my humble opinion, pushing ties isn't necessarily anti-town. The thing is, you see, we know who the King is. So pushing a tie can and will serve to confuse scum (I like to call mafia scum, I hope no one takes offense. If they do, voice it out and I'll stop). Deciding not to do ties is if anything, anti-town in my opinion. But uh well, it really depends on the situation.

Well, based on your earlier posts I’m actually not a million percent sure YOU know who the king is, tbh.

A strategy of giving the assassins zero info to go on seems sound.

I didn't think thunal's idea to more or less random shrugyeet made much sense but I'm somewhere in between the two camps. I'm certainly not convinced she's scum pushing a bad strat on purpose.

My problem with this is that after a few days, we’ve given then enough info to make a short list of people NOONE has suspected. It’s a lot easier for the assassins to make an educated guess from that position. Like anyone taking sus can be eliminated from the assassins “maybe King” list.

Having read that article, it really does make the most sense to me.
