If I were scum, I’d be much more worried about Tracker and Watcher than Doctor though. I probably wouldn’t RB the Doctor there even if I could, especially while killing a non-PR claimer who was a somewhat unlikely save target.

Re: MAFIA 77: RETURN TO THE WEST [GAME THREAD] - [HIDDEN]
I'll work out for you what happens if bo does come back and claim PR:
Then we have 4 PR claimants, and only 3 Actual PRs.
3 of us are telling the truth, and at most one is lying.
So from your POV, at most 1 of worcej, me, and bo can be scum (no matter what bo claims).

Possible. I just assumed they would also save it for me whenever they want because it can avoid having to play save-chicken with me

(2) Bo will claim VT
Correct?
Cool, thank you.
In that case, I agree with folks who are saying that we really do need Bo (or a sub) to reply with enough time before the day ends for others to read & process.
Re: MAFIA 77: RETURN TO THE WEST [GAME THREAD] - [HIDDEN]
Yes, three claims are lies and they lie within the vt claimants. There are three town PRs and 3 claimants (possibly 4 if you include bo) so a max of 1 scum there. No town would have lied, it would be to town's disadvantage.KoalaAttack wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 10:55 pmI don't understand. It's only bizarre in the extreme if you believe everyone's claims, no? But aren't at least 3 claims lies, like, by definition?
I mean, if you just believe the claims, I seriously don't get how this game works. Say I am Mafia next time – why wouldn't I just hardclaim Doctor ASAP? I think I'm missing something here.

And a (perhaps stupid) question to the group – is Assumption (1) reasonable to make based on your prior Mafia experience? It certainly makes sense to me, just want to double-check that practice matches the theory.
Re: MAFIA 77: RETURN TO THE WEST [GAME THREAD] - [HIDDEN]
Even better...we let scum figure out the lying PR for us. They don't want to leave PRs alive. So we find the 2 (but really 3) scum in the VT pool for today.KoalaAttack wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 11:37 pmBunnyGo wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 11:35 pmCorrect!KoalaAttack wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 11:33 pmSo to summarize my understanding – I see the current reasoning, and the implied 2 assumptions supporting it are:

Yes. Assumption (1) is reasonable and the right assumption to make.KoalaAttack wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 11:39 pmKoalaAttack wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 11:37 pm

Let's play out what happens in that case. Say (for example) that damo is really a PR.KoalaAttack wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 11:39 pmKoalaAttack wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 11:37 pm

Now in a day or so we start voting him. He announces "No no! *I'm* really the watcher after all!" Who will believe him? We'll kill him for sure that day. Then we get a miskill we can't afford. AND for the previous time we've been working with bad assumptions as a group.

Great, makes perfect sense. Cheers. Temporary

Re: MAFIA 77: RETURN TO THE WEST [GAME THREAD] - [HIDDEN]
This is an exhausting conversation to read.
All three of you are PRs.
Worcej is Doctor.
Koala is a totally mysterious role
Bunny is ???
Unless bo comes in CCing, we don't need to worry about this.

Ditto my unnecessary post. Hadn't read all the explanations.

Re: MAFIA 77: RETURN TO THE WEST [GAME THREAD] - [HIDDEN]
My last post at night sort of addressed this:
If watcher!chaqa and worcej targeted each other, one of them was guaranteed to succeed.

Again, sorry if this is naive because I'm new, but:
But the mass claim business happened after the night was over. So during the night they would only have a maybe-Watcher maybe-protected by a maybe-Doctor and/or maybe-watching the maybe-Doctor.
And wouldn't the WIFOM approach be "let them waste the mutual Watching/Healing on each other while we take out someone else?"
Re: MAFIA 77: RETURN TO THE WEST [GAME THREAD] - [HIDDEN]
but worcej was scumreading Chaqa? He'd hardly save him.
Re: MAFIA 77: RETURN TO THE WEST [GAME THREAD] - [HIDDEN]
excellent reasoning. That's roughly what I'm arguing too.KoalaAttack wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 11:53 pmAgain, sorry if this is naive because I'm new, but:

If that argument is what really happened, then Chaqa is town because scum would not know he was lying.
There's another reason that damo is advocating for (reasonably): Chaqa is scum, and so scum COULDN'T target him, and if they HAD targeted worcej, we'd all say "CHAQA CHAQA, WHAT'D YOU SEE?!?!"
