I agree with fartownik here. 3 people claimed PR before it got to you lying about yours. Why did you think you'd be targeted first of?fartownik wrote:
@Hika: but we all risked being targeted by claiming our PRs, it was literally the same risk for everyone of us is going to be killed tonight. Not sure what's your base of the paranoia that you will be the one killed at the night
Didn't you think your inactivity + empty contributions would be counterproductive to your self-preservation plan?Hika wrote:
My plan was this, I wanted to be able to survive the next couple of days and nights in order to block any threats to town. I'm pretty sure it was going to be hard D1 and N1 because we don't have enough leads just yet.
basically, the reasons are those that I brought up as counterargument against the massclaim, I believe. such as "knowing who the PR is more helpful for scum than it is for us" and "losing PR is hurtful for town".fartownik wrote:

scum normally lurks or tends to lurk because they have practically no motivation to post. they don't have to scumhunt, and going on the "scumhunt" may let you slip, so yea, if someone is superlurky/inactive, he probably is scum. and even if he isn't, then you still lynched just a lurker, who didn't contribute anyway.Irreversible wrote:
I can't understand how people can get suspicious with posting less, I mean what if they are really busy in real.
Because we all agreed to claim, simply because of that. Your action had its pluses ('had' because I don't see any of them at this very moment), I can't deny that, but it also skewed our numbers of Mafia's PRs (we thought Mafia only picked 1 option, now we might guess they picked 2) and confused us right now if you're truly Town, making it more anti-town.Hika wrote:
Also farto, I'm not ignorant enough to claim, given the fact that us PRs are equal in getting NK'd. I think I'm a pretty important role myself so why not keep myself hidden?
that's true, but this game is actually like 'i'm town, believe me and don't kill me' because otherwise town wouldn't win the game - so if you were town you wouldn't be like 'oh nvm, we killed a lurker, doesn't matter if he's town or not' or am I wrong? (well i know for scum it's better to kill town.. ahh i'm confused by my own thoughts, op)Tanzklaue wrote:

worried about nohitter? or why do you care about that, you already setted your vote oôBRBP wrote:
Time is running out ._.
Yeah, why not? If Nohitter is scum it's most possible that you are his scumbuddy, and now you're trying to get the attention away from you. Sorry for my conclusions but ~Irreversible wrote:
Yes, I'm worried about NH, that's why I'm voting for him.BRBP wrote:

Asking stupid questions from masons is always a wise thing to do.
Yes, do remember that if hammer isnt reached by deadline then no lynch happens, and is only fair to give the replacement time to catch up, if he starts posting and contributing without requesting an extension tho then he will lose the right to request the extension as I will assume by default that he's already read and is fine with the current deadline.BRBP wrote:
Mod: If say, 1-2 people vote Hika/pieguy or if he/she suddenly gains a majority, can he/she still ask to extend the day? What I mean is, if the result is obvious.

I suggest you read this too: http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=13710 There's a lot more explained than just the RVS there, including techniques that will help in general for mafia games.Irreversible wrote:
maybe i just shut up now XD
funnily enough, I would say NH is the most traitor-ish guy in the round. doing something huge and attentiongrabbing, potentially or most likely antitown, is something a traitor would do so his scumbuddies won't kill him by accident (because really, is there anything more embarassing than shooting your own buddy on accident?).Raging Bull wrote:

His tactic was at least eye-catching, might turn out scummy as well. Though following directly a wiki advice that everyone can read is not very cleverWikipedia wrote:

If the scum know that there is a Traitor in the game, it should not be difficult for the Traitor to distinguish themselves to the scum. Just do something outrageously scummy or eye-catching for them.

well, for me, it's basically better than not knowing how to do anything. though the metagame they describe there is probably outdated and traitors play completly different nowadays.fartownik wrote:

Well, mafia could come up with the same kind of reasoning I did anyway. Also my bad, I must have missed the part where everyone decided that was best >< that's what I get I guess when I have to read the whole thread at onceBRBP wrote:
Apparently pieguy managed to ninja me as well.
I don't really know why you're trying to guess my role when most of us has decided it's best if it's not known.
The only thing you're helping with that is scum, because if town wanted to know, I could just say it.
I'm always active in my games?rEdo wrote:
And my eye still looks at NoHitter, that high activity of his seems way too suspicious to me. A lot of activity implies trying to cover himself, and I'll stay with that idea of mine.
Because I am town, and lynching a townie would be a wasted lynch. That's why I'm defending myself.Tanzklaue wrote:
hm, NH, you already executed the plan, so you dying wouldn't change too much, wouldn't it? defending yourself with this much effort seems kinda icky. of course you normally don't want to die, but you still get the win if you die and town succeeds.
also you have no PR, so you dying is (basically) no biggie. and you opposed RB shooting someone in N1. but why would you do that? your great odds of 3/7 would swing to 3/5, if we shoot and lynch unsuccessfully, over 50%, and we still could hit scum with the lynch AND/or the shoot of RB, which would leave us with one/two scum. there is basically no pro-town reason for not shooting in N1.
why would you suggest something like this after your "superprotown" massclaim strategy?
I hope my "I only slept 5 hours yay" reads aren't too messed up
Now assuming Hika is really a JK, that gives us (5-3-4) (conf - scum - town)So basically you're saying if we assume they're town, they're confirmed town. Might I be able to suggest that we have a little flaw in that?
My idea was that scum PRs were made to counter the existing town PRs. That's why Watcher and Vig were confirmed for me since they would be countered by Bulletproof and Ninja.Rantai wrote:
Actually, who came up with the idea that having reciprocal town PR's was something that made a claim more believable?
Because how do you 'counter' a JOAT or daychat? I'm willing to bet that our PR's are randomly pooled and not chosen to counter other roles.
What I meant by that was that assuming Hika was a Jailkeeper, *insert statistics computation here*.Rantai wrote:

It is stated in the rules that if deadline is reached and no majority was reached then no-lynch will happen, to lynch, someone must be hammered before the deadline.pieguy1372 wrote:
mod: if no hammer is reached, is it a majority lynch or a no-lynch?
if it's a no-lynch, unvote & vote: NH to get the game moving
Could you explain your reasoning for this?Raging Bull wrote:
if nohitter is scum, shooting Jinxy.

Raging Bull wrote:
It's very stupid for scum to claim vigilante because of how there WILL BE 2 NKs if the vigilante keep saying he will shoot. The only thing is if mafia kills the same person as me, but that is really stupid since that gives town even more of an advantage by having 1 less death.

Ockham's Razor hasn't failed me yet.Rantai wrote:
If he's town... that was a very naive conclusion to make. I'm just a little skeptical that the host would make it that easy to confirm people.
But your explanations do not cover the possibility of daychat and JOAT. It's flawed by default.NoHitter wrote:

But what about cop?NoHitter wrote:
I believe you misunderstood me Rantai.
Town has two initial PRs right? It's in my opinion that the two original PRs are the Watcher and Vig.
When scum increased their PRs, that's when the other PRs like JK became apparent.
Not necessarily, in fact town is more likely to get roles like vig or alignment cop.Also this implies that vig was more likely a reactionary role than a static one (but I'm sticking to the idea that all roles are randomly picked from a pool of roles which may or may not happen to be counterable by the mafia picks.
