I have done none of these things. Does that make me tomorrow a good lynch target?Made wrote:Ok, this post makes me feelG-Man wrote:Since the NK'ers lack the chutzpah to target Made and we don't seem inclined to take another chance at lynching him, we need something to break this game open again. .
Painting Xs on peoples back is not a very polite thing to do, but it's last man standing, so yeah.
I think a fun thing to do, while we're still early in the game is to look closely at what people's strategies are, as this should be the part of the game where those are developing for the first time. Like i said previously, It's important to realize that this isn't traditional mafia, meaning that traditional mafia methods and thinking isn't going to be what wins this game, it's going to be avoiding death. Now there's many ways to do that, but some work better than others. Let's look at the ways that haven't worked this game thus far. and why they haven't worked.
1. Captain Creepy
Description: Acting like your the leader of a noble cause
Why they died: This alienated players, making them wary of the thoughts and motives this player might have
What can we learn from this death: Try to appear as transparent as possible to gain trust. Mystery draws fear and distrust
2. Vendeada
Description: Launching a personal vendetta against another player
Why they died: It gives killers a reason to kill you. Guilt by association, is a very easy way to keep control of who gets talked about during the game
What can we learn from this death: Don't threaten players by name, unless you're sure you groupthink will kill them by nightfall.
3 I AM MIA AMA
Description: Being a low poster
Why they died: No body likes killing people they perceive as engaged/interested. It's a guilt free vote.
What can we learn from this death: Posting enough to remain on the radar is important to surviving. as long as you appear often, you'll be harder to lynch.
Now let's look at some strategies that have worked so far!
1. Grouplove
Description: Agree with everything everyone says
Why this has worked: Agreeing makes you visible, and a potential ally to everyone, thus helping you to avoid both night kills and lynches
2.
Description: Say nothing that upsets other players
Why this has worked: Again, you're saying words, so you're visible, but you avoid any possible suspicion because what you're talking about ruffles no feathers.
3. Casebuilder
Description: Build cases/ demonstrate reasons why a person should vote a certain, then finish the job, and get the player lynched, or near lynched.
Why this has worked: Leave no ties! There's no reason to kill a player if they're attachment has died. It's not like typical mafia where the role reveal shows they player was actually a civvie. IF you're a persuasive player, this is a very valid strategy
There's many ways to skin this cat of a game, but outlining them might force rapid cat-skinning meta evolution, which sounds pretty interesting imo.
Also changed my mind on the targeting thing
I don't like this.
Fiddler on the Roof
Unless Made has some trickery again...
,but I have not had time to finish the second one
