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

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

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.daisukenowaifuke wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2025 10:03 amI was suspicious of this person, until I read their link and saw the below sentence.

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.

Re: Assassins in the Palace
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

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

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

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.

Re: Assassins in the Palace
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.Thunal33 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2025 11:29 amProbably 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.Foxy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2025 11:26 amAye 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.

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
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

Re: Assassins in the Palace [Day 0]
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.

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.

Rude.
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.

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.

Re: Assassins in the Palace [Day 0]
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.

I never heard of itThunal33 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2025 11:39 amI’m not going to force you or anyone to play the same way I do.Foxy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2025 11:34 am
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

Re: Assassins in the Palace [Day 0]
Well, based on your earlier posts I’m actually not a million percent sure YOU know who the king is, tbh.Foxy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2025 9:11 amYoung 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.
A strategy of giving the assassins zero info to go on seems sound.

Re: Assassins in the Palace [Day 0]
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.nutella wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2025 12:18 pm 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).

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