MINI MAFIA IV GAME THREAD

[bozotheclown]

If we mislynch, and there is a vig that shoots a town N1, it will be mylo D2, so no lynch is a viable option D1.

For starters, if we mislynch and there is a vig... they should probably not take a random shot.... as they would know there is no doctor... but, if it is mylo D2 then D2 becomes a better time for a no lynch as it sets up lylo D3.

Furthermore, if you are assuming that a vig shoots a town N1 and the NK goes through, then no lynching D1 and mislynching D2 would still make D3 lylo.

Perhaps you could argue it is better to nolynch D1 to keep PRs safe... but...

Assuming doctor or that the Vig doesn't take random shots... our worst case is we mislynch twice, and mafia NKs successfully twice (which the doctor might stop)... we would reach lylo D3.

This seems clearly better than having to no lynch D1 or D2, but if you disagree please explain.

Now I guess... I didnt actually think through if we no lynch and (doctor/no vig shot)... no lynch D1 +NK would make it 7-3 D2 and a mislynch +NK would make it 5-3 D3 (mylo not lylo)... another no lynch would push us to lylo D4... is this your proposition?

Since we do not know what will happen with the doc or vig, there are a number of possibilities, but no lynch D1 has the potential to change lylo to mylo D3, or if there is a town vig shot, allow us to reach D3 at 4-3 instead of losing D2.

I am going to ask everyone to vote on my two suggestions.

1. hypo cop/tracker/friendly neighbor claims, yes or no?
2. No Lynch as a viable day 1 option, yes or no?

bozotheclown: yes, yes

For question 2 are you asking if its viable? Or if we think we SHOULD? I don't think its the worst thing in the world, and its a possibility, but I currently would vote against this.

By viable I mean that we should no lynch instead of lynching someone with little information.

*eyeroll*...

@xorxes - didn't HC last game when you pressured me and was town. Why are you upset that I soft-peddled it now?

@Damo -

rath·er

1.used to indicate one's preference in a particular matter.
"would you like some wine, or would you rather stick to sherry?"

some degree, comparatively;

Last game I think you did hard claim town when xorxes pressured you.

I stand corrected, I did actually do it in a post after. For reference:

I have yet to claim anything other than town.

Is "claim" equivalent to "hardclaim" here?

Sure, I hardclaim town. Happy?

@Bozothecloen:

No
No

Those are my votes for your nutty ideas.

[worcej]

@bozo - My votes are also:

1. No - mostly because it requires everyone to be into the idea and since we are already not unanimous, it wouldn't work.
2. No - primarily that even a mislynch does provide info to effect N1 actions. Is it risky because we could hit a PR? Yes it is, but the odds of that are the same as hitting a scum too in this setup.

@Bozothecloen:

No
No

Those are my votes for your nutty ideas.

I do not see much down side to trying hypo claiming, and it could work out well for town.

[Jamiet99uk]

Is it nearly EoD?

[Jamiet99uk]

Oh no wait it was a Tuesday start, not Monday.

[damo666]

So worcej , got you to hard claim.

I believe you.

[Jamiet99uk]

I think ThdFrance and Bozo are likely town.

ThdFrance seemed to genuinely not know "terrorist" was the town flavour, and he remained calm when pressed on it by me.

I don't think scum Bozo would be daft enough to propose a No Lynch.

Xorxes was trying to test my reaction, but I'm not sure what that suggests about his alignment. Townlean?

[Jamiet99uk]

##vote Jamie

Explain please. You cast your vote around for really stupid reasons.

[Jamiet99uk]

Today we have seen Damo666 voting Worcej for using the word "rather", and me for needing to check when the deadline was.

These are really shit reasons for votes.

[Jamiet99uk]

Beancomb and Boozoo are here. Let's have their input.

[Jamiet99uk]

I purport that I am rather sure the EoD deadline is tomorrow evening.

I rather hope Damo rather improves his performance by then. I'm sure Worcej rather agrees with me.

[brainbomb]

I am just at a loss for words.

bozo is not even playing mafia, hes turning this into a post apocalyptic fuck fest of idiotic roleplay ideas. not a single post by bozo has attempted to evaluate anything at all.

sad as it is, bozo also is likely town because hes brave enough to waste all that time.

foodcoats keeps saying bizarre awkward stuff. also probably town.

worcej and damo dont seem scummy. I think xorxes is scum for thread presemce and hes not actually evaluating people, just looking for weaknesses to attack

[brainbomb]

jamie hasnt made an impression so far. ikes disengaged and also probably scum.

[Jamiet99uk]

So worcej , got you to hard claim.

I believe you.

##unvote

PLEASE explain the additional space between Worcej's name and the comma after it, Damo. This is a rather strange use of superfluous spacing, rather.

[Jamiet99uk]

jamie hasnt made an impression so far. ikes disengaged and also probably scum.

Wow, I rather forgot that RagingIke was even in this game.

I'll just go and rather quickly check over his posts. Maybe there is something to examine.
