Any Poli Sci geeks around?

Hi, it's been a while. The political science department at my school can be dead sometimes and I've been looking to bounce some ideas around. I don't know why, but I remembered this site and thought there might be a few of you around with some interest for discussion. I know that for the most part, the discussion on this site is news/opinion based, but I don't know what kind of theory backgrounds some of you might have...

@DeathLlama, but then the mafia can just randomize their kill and we'll go into the next day with equally little information and fewer townies.

Death Llama we've had this discussion before, by not lynching first turn we don't gain enough info.

Perhaps you guys should try the split vote thing I suggested last game.

Hmm. Didn't think of that.

The only risk we take by lynching on Day 1 is that we might accidentally lynch one of the special roles (cop, doc, vig), which would mean we wouldn't even get 1 night of benefit from their roles. Statistically though, the odds of that are pretty low obviously, so I'm all for voting to lynch on Day 1. What's this split vote idea mintyboy?

Firstly, hi everyone (anyone who does not say 'hi' back will immediately be suspicious)

Secondly we don't lynch people in diplomacy, we report them so I think we should be REPORT VashtaNeurotic (1) ghug

""The only risk we take by lynching on Day 1 is that we might accidentally lynch one of the special roles (cop, doc, vig),"

Why is that OB?

Even if a special role were to divulge their role to save themselves, that person has then made them self a target. Like I said, unlikely statistically, but technically a possibility.

ghug (5068 )

Hi Yoyo.

Yoyo's my number two suspect right now because of his report/no octothorpe nonsense, but for right now my vote's on Minty until he proves he's not a lurker and explains his split vote idea.

@OB, the problem there was that Jeff didn't claim. IF YOU'RE A TOWN POWER AND WE'RE ABOUT TO LYNCH YOU, CLAIM. IF YOU'RE ANYONE ELSE, PLEASE DON'T EVER CLAIM. IT'S SUPER ANNOYING. Thank you.

Yoyoyozo (95 )

Thanks bo
##VOTE OB_Gyn

I wasn't joking

OB_Gyn_Kenobi (888 )

@Drano: It's sarcasm, that is precisely what happened last game.

OB_Gyn_Kenobi (888 )

Hi Yoyo, happy belated birthday.

ghug (5068 )
14 Jan 15 UTC

@drano, he was being sarcastic cause we lynched the doctor day one last game. We also killed the Vig night one and that was pretty cool but let's not do that again because the VIg is my friend this time.

Yoyoyozo (95 )
14 Jan 15 UTC

Ghug the "no octothorpe nonsense" was directed towars bo's vote update.
The report thing is just to add to the flavor of the game. I'm sorry if I actually want to have fun. Please kill me for trying to make this game more enjoyable.

drano019 (1003 )
14 Jan 15 UTC

Ahh, to be new to Mafia on webdip and miss those connections. I was hoping it was sarcastic :)

ghug (5068 )
14 Jan 15 UTC

We also almost lynched the cop D1 in the game before that. We kind of have a problem with that.

thdfrance (187 )
14 Jan 15 UTC

I see no reason to have the lynch-no lynch discussion. For those of you who have been around for other games, anyone who argues no lynch is just reading scum. If your new, I respect your potential arguments, but you're wrong. Just take my word for it. Go back and read the last game.

thdfrance (187 )
14 Jan 15 UTC

As for the odds of hitting a special role, they are small. But even still we gain a bit of knowledge by seeing who argues for what, and seeing as we have NO information at the start of the game, any hints we can gain are worth the risk.

ghug (5068 )
14 Jan 15 UTC

Yoyo has redeemed himself. thd is now secondary suspect. Hop on the Minty wagon though. Dude's still online but he actually just stopped talking when I accused him. SCUM!

Seeking advice from people that have taken a cruise. My last one was 20 years ago, and I am picking between Norwegian, Royal Caribbean and Carnival. Carnival seems cheapest....but...is there a reason? Is it volume discount, or am I going to be eating greasy burgers and slop instead of the fine cuisine I might get elsewhere?
