And trying to game a GM error like this is pretty lame.

Yeah, I agree. I need to learn to keep my mouth shut.

Actually I rescind my townread on sweet. Mafia can also genuinely try to solve because there’s 3 parties. I missed this.

So the main way we are going to be able to solve this game is through flips and mechs.

Don't forget vibes.

Though if you disregard the time zone stuff, it's still a valid point that should be considered.

Mafia had pre-chat and while maybe they were careful, it's still pretty likely that a good proportion of those early posters were Mafia.

You're not new to the forum then?

Eh, maybe a little, but there are way too many unknowns to draw reliable conclusions about individuals.

I'll tell you all a fun story.

I thought the game started an hour later than it actually did. I was confused, I could have sworn it started 3 PST. So I go back and see that when the startime was listed, it correctly gave the time if you are British. But the time for the East Coast and West coast incorrectly indicated the start time (due to daylight savings, I assume).

I assume most people would look at it and if they were in the western hemisphere they would use the incorrect time and be late to the game. However, people in prechat would definitely be ready to post at game start.

Consequently, any players from the West hemisphere who were posting at game start are incredibly suspicious.

Particularly, brainbomb.

6pm EST has been the traditional start time for mafia on this forum for years

Exactly. But we started at 5pm EST this game. Another reason why non-Mafia would be more likely to miss the start of the game.

I'm not new to the forum but this IS my first forum mafia game. I just made the joke of "#NotMyND" as both like, going with the joke of "ND doesn't act like this usually" that Will started and tying it with jokes on DougDoug stream of "Not my [object, usually streamer]"

Just want to say I am alive and will start reading the game right now, thanks to Jamie nudging me on Discord.

[rdrivera2005]

Hmmmmm...I forgot that we can talk at night.

Thinking...yes, I think that is a good addition to this plan.

Why are you opposed?

I'm not overly fond of chopping a game into a mechanical grind
I feel like game types like item madness or something like this is best played in chaos, even understanding that one may well argue that it is "unoptimal" to do so

Okay, I can grok that as a general tendency, but can you give some more specific thought to the plan I proposed in this format? My feeling is that the multi-cop set-up here is uniquely suited for this particular plan because we're not really going to be able to use cop reveals very well until the cop flips. So cops are likely going to want to breadcrumb their results so that we have their info to use after they flip. By forcing everyone to provide hypo results, we allow our Cops to put that info in the thread without risk of laying breadcrumbs that can lead back to them. Also, because of all the Cop distortions, the bad guys are not going to be able to use all of the hypo posts to figure out who is a real cop and who is not a real cop.

So, I just think this plan requires more thought than "I don't like doing stuff with mechanics." I am not proposing that we use the hypo scan plan as the sole way of playing the game. We need to talk to each other and sort wolves from town. Adding a hypo scan is not a substitute for playing the game, it's just a useful way of ensuring the cop information is here in the thread for us when it becomes more useful.

I think the main drawbacks is not helping scum to identify copa but help Angel gang to identify not cops. They are the only one's that can mess with results so they know if result is true or false or twisted. So they can identify who are not cops.
But considering the Judges will be also in this group not sure if it's enough of a reason to not going with this plan.

[rdrivera2005]

Obviously this is not damning, but I think it is pretty compelling. Anyone who posted in the first hour who lives in the Western Hemisphere should be considered suspicious.

Do you know that there are other people on the Western Hemisphere then North Americans? They still teach geography on USA?

Happy to go with BB plan as amended by ghug if most agree.

I live very close to the meridian. Technically live in Western Hemisphere but often in Eastern. As I live in BST it's irrelevant.

[brainbomb]

Oh that reminds me balki is BB and I am bb. For if youre talking about us.
