Incidents of Cheating on the Rise?
Is it just me, or does it seem that (once again) the site is going through a period of increased cheating activity? Personally, I've noticed such, especially in GB games in which communication between powers is strikingly obvious.

Thoughts?

Khan Dynasty
I'm watching a show about Kublai Khan and it's interesting, if not, I'm sure, woefully inaccurate. I'll have some time around the holidays and was hoping someone could recommend a good book about Gengis/Kublai/Khan Dynasty.

Start game without all players
Is there a way to have a new game start without all the player slots filled? I have had several games canceled because every slot has not been filled.
Over the upcoming vacation, I would like to start a game, possibly a World Diplomacy variant, for many players, but I can not count on filling every country. Any ideas here?

An article by the late Fred Halliday. It's a quick read, but interesting nonetheless. Recent forum posts made me think of it, although it was written pre-ISIS.

In a stale-mate, no-one wins. The rules of the game are quite clearly stated, such that each faction must eliminate all other factions.

Here, town is in a special position. They get to choose if there is a winner or not, and who the winner is. They can't choose themselves though. It's pretty funny. Of course, you should all let me win, because I am superior to organic life-forms and stuff.
Yoyoyozo (95 D)
16 Dec 14 UTC
Yeah, sorry phil. Stalemate it is.
Yoyoyozo (95 D)
16 Dec 14 UTC
Besides I think it would be against the "play to win" rule if we decided to choose a winner.
stupidfighter (253 D)
16 Dec 14 UTC
If it goes to 1-1-1, no one will win. The town entertaining the idea of playing kingmaker is foolish. As crew we must pledge not to do this and force the draw.

The result is the same if the day starts with 1 mafia and the sk- neither can win. Therefore, in order for a chance to win(not draw) which the rules stipulate you MUST play to achieve-

The sk should try to kill mafia tonight, and avoid being lynched tomorrow. In this scenario,. the sk wins.

The mafia should try to roleblock the sk tonight, NOT kill tonight and lynch the sk tomorrow. Then, with a free nightkill tomorrow night they auto win.

In scenario where one or both town die tonight, there will be a draw, and all parties will have failed to chive their win conditions.

phil_a_s (0 DX)
16 Dec 14 UTC
Ah, but stupidfighter, if tomorrow we end up with 2 1 1, which if SK and mafia know who the other is will happen (which we do), then town has no incentive to kill either side, right?

If you kill mafia, then SK kills you during the night, if you kill SK, mafia kills you during the night. Therefore, townie optimal strategy given 2 1 1 is to vote for a NoLynch, as far as I can tell. Town can't win 2 1 1 unless an evil side dies in the night. So town has to wait until SK kills mafia (mafia can't kill SK).

Now, SK. If I kill the mafia, the next day, my head is on the chopping block, town wins. No thanks. If I kill one of you I just force the stalemate.

As for Mafia, I think your analysis is sound, since he can't kill someone without causing stalemate.

Long story short, mafia won't kill in the night because it would cause a draw, SK won't kill during the night because it either causes draw or loss, and town won't shoot in the day because they don't have the numbers to win.
phil_a_s (0 DX)
16 Dec 14 UTC
2 1 1 is a stalemate situation, no single side can afford to lose tempo by killing.
phil_a_s (0 DX)
16 Dec 14 UTC
There is no other outcome than a draw possible given rational play from all sides. We can test whether the sides will behave rationally, but I think it's a waste of time.

Good night.
stupidfighter (253 D)
16 Dec 14 UTC
We don't know who the sk is though, so in the 2 town 1 sk situation, either could win.The advantage is actually on the sk unless someone knows of a good way of figuring him out.
Yoyoyozo (95 D)
16 Dec 14 UTC
Phil is sk. My whole plan made that clear.
stupidfighter (253 D)
16 Dec 14 UTC
Wait, you're not claiming to be sk anymore? When exactly did that happen yoyo?
Yoyoyozo (95 D)
16 Dec 14 UTC
Lol I had no idea who sk was so I pretended to be sk to find out. Y2k is mafia, phil is sk. I stopped because my entire reasoning was shoddy.
Yoyoyozo (95 D)
16 Dec 14 UTC
So all the crew has to do now is vote to lynch themself.

Mute in games
When an opponent stabs you, it's annoying, of course - but it's all part of the game, and I always attempt to keep communications open in case something can be salvaged later on.

When an opponent stabs you, and also immediately mutes you in the game.... what the actual fuck?
