Re: Mafia LI sign-up thread
It sounds like it should be a prisoner's dilemma: If they both hold their NK, they draw; if one holds and the other one shoots, the one who shoots wins; if they both shoot, both lose and town wins (because all mafia have then been eliminated).Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 11:56 pm
If two Mafia from opposing factions are the last two, and neither has any relevant powers (such as Roleblock or a stolen knife or doctor bag etc) then again this would effectively be a draw. This is relatively unlikely, but possible. Players should bear in mind their victory condition and aim to avoid this outcome, of course.

I think it’s even worse for them than prisoners dilemma, since it doesn’t end until someone does shoot.xorxes wrote: ↑Thu Nov 14, 2019 11:24 amIt sounds like it should be a prisoner's dilemma: If they both hold their NK, they draw; if one holds and the other one shoots, the one who shoots wins; if they both shoot, both lose and town wins (because all mafia have then been eliminated).Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 11:56 pm

Re: Mafia LI sign-up thread
One scum could play kingmaker since they could reasonably argue that they can’t win so they can play for other goals.
Re: Mafia LI sign-up thread
How? (individually)
Re: Mafia LI sign-up thread
Tell the other scum to win. I don’t try a NK, they do. They win. I’m playing against my win condition, but I couldn’t win. So I let the other scum win rather than the town.
Re: Mafia LI sign-up thread
I think that would constitute a contravention of rule 7.
They could agree to draw indefinitely and appeal to the GM for a draw. To save us from the possibility of an infinite game I think the GM should declare before the game starts what the result would be in this event. Any of the following seem reasonable (well, not unreasonable)
i) joint scum victory
ii) town victory
iii) victory for town and both scum
iv) victory for all
v) void game

Re: Mafia LI sign-up thread
I want this to be the greatest game of all time.
Let's not try to make strategies before the game starts, like advising mafia members to drop their panties for another mafia team or any of that sort of thing.
I lowkey want Jack the Ripper to win until I receive my card, but I plan to play to my wincon once I see on which side I'm supposed to lean

Re: Mafia LI sign-up thread
Hey everyone,
I love this theme and the cast of characters!
##CALL GM
I have a quick question about the Street Urchin hoping it hasn't been answered yet. So when he observes the person visiting him, what info will be passed on? Will he know if he was scanned or whatever?
Thanks in advance
