And the same could be said about you defending strager. Excessively even. :/

If you think about it, it's highly unlikely that both me and Echo are Mafia in this game as we were the two Mafia in Newbie Mafia 3 as well...Should I not agree with his perfectly logical "anti-info barfing" point of view purely because I would be seen as scum? In fact Mafia members would try to distance themselves from each other would they not? Reasoning behind accusation denied -_-

In the only unkown-role game that I've played with strager he was definitely NOT this keen on finding roles. He barely posted at all. I think he was a Cop in BM1? This is the total reverse O_o

If you know anything about probability then you'd know that since the two games are independent events, then their probabilities are also independent.

Lets say you roll a dice, and it comes up a six. Does this mean if you roll another one, it's less likely to be a six than any other number? Each number would still have an equal chance of of being rolled, regardless of what was rolled before.

Anyway, I actually don't think there is more than one mafia this game, personally I think it's too small for that.. but I guess we won't find out for sure till tomorrow =/

Izit?

Let's look at it closely shall we?

The probability of Echo and I being Mafia in this game is:

1/[7C2] = 0.0476

The probability of Echo and I being Mafia in NM3 and NSM is:

1/[7C2] * 1/[9C2] = 0.00132

That's 36 times smaller ~_~

it seems to me that if strager were mafia, instead of posting his findings and leaving them there he would be sharing them privately with his mafia friend or, if game contains only one mafia, keeping them to himself.
I know it's not a defense, but that's WIFOM.

Logical fallacy IIRC, as 0_o pointed out.

I was a Cop, yes. The game was so large I didn't care about roles until it got much smaller, where the game is easier to work with.

Gotta go...

game is seven people, right?

*checks*

yeah so its the same size as the newbie mafia games.
which, i might point out, had two mafia members each.
this is why i think this is a two-mafia game.

also@Echo, Lucidity, im not talking about you two "buddying" im talking about you both say strager is mafia based on "gut feelings" - maybe you thought you could bandwagon a vote on him? youre being pretty stupid about it.

That's only if you don't know the outcome of both games. The probability of rolling 2 sixes is (1*6) * (1*6) = 1/36, but if you are given that the first roll is a six, then the first roll has a probability of 1, making the equation 1 * 1/6 = 1/6.
Also by your logic, any pair of us has a 0.00132 chance of being mafia. The probability of you and Echo being mafia in the first game, followed by say, me and strager being mafia in the second game is exactly the same.

Heh, you're quite right 0_o. The probability of Echo and I being Mafia partners in this game in isolation is the same as any other combination of 2 people. You're looking at P(B|A) when that is obviously equal to P(B) if A and B are independent events. You have to consider the purpose of the calculation though. You're calculating something different.

What I'm suggesting is that you look at a longer time horizon. The probability of Echo and I being partners in 2 games is equal to P(B)*P(A). There is no point in assuming Event A is given, because we're not just looking at this game. I'm saying that picking Echo and I in two consecutive games is less likely than being picked in one game. I don't know how else to explain this, but I am quite confident that my method is correct. I used to get firsts (A's or whatever you want to call it) in my undergrad for this basic probability theory.

I have no idea how LadySuburu assigns roles. It might not even be completely random so the point is moot.

Anyway, we're straying way off course here. The difference is that you're calculating the probability of the event in this game in isolation and I'm considering the event across two games. If you disagree I think we should leave it at that. We've wasted enough posts on it :P It is certainly not helping us catch the Mafia. Was fun though ;p

Yeah there were. Dunno why SFG thinks it's 7 O_o?

If there are 2 Mafia in this game and we lynch a townie today we're in LyLo in Day 2 (Assuming the Doctor (if one exists?) fails to protect). Unless she had a really short game planned I don't think LS would do this.

This means we either have only 1 Mafia or there is an abundance of Cops around to counter the bigger Mafia threat. If the Cop claims are all truthful then we probably do have 2 Mafia -.- But at least one of the "Cops" probably lied :/ And there's really no point in speculating about it, because we'll know what's going on when LS announces LyLo (or not) in Day 2.

Just compare these two scenarios, listed are the mafias for each game (completely hypothetical)

a) M1: You, Echo | M2: You, Echo
b) M1: You, Echo | M2: adam, SFG

Do the calculations, the probabilities of a) and b) happening are exactly the same, no matter which pair you come up with for M2 in the b) scenario.

Going back to the dice roll example: if you roll a dice three times, the probability of rolling 4,1,2 (in order) is exactly the same as rolling 3,3,3 no matter which way you look at it. Seeing as our role assignments are random, this pretty much is a dice roll, so by your logic you are saying that if a die rolls a 3, then the die is less likely to roll a 3 on the next roll.

And yes this does matter, because you are using this "logic" to say you and Echo and very likely not to be Mafia, when you have statistically the exact same probability as any other pair.

What you are saying is listed in MafiaScum as Gambler's Fallacy.

if you thought one of us cops (assuming adam wasnt lying) was mafia, why aren't you voting for one of us? 1 cop for 1 mafia is a good trade.

@0_o: As I said, you're quite right. :p I was referring to P(A)*P(B) which is smaller than P(B), but I didn't consider that it is equal for any alternative combination in this game too, so yeah it doesn't really mean much~ I'll concede that we're just as likely Mafia as anyone else~ (I haven't done this in 3 years ok!:p)

@SFG: Sure it's a good trade if we know that there is only 1 Cop. We don't. Both of you might be Cops. Until Day 2 we won't know how many Mafia there are either. The safest option to pursue if we followed this strategy would be to vote adam, as he is a Day cop and can then investigate before he is lynched, reveal his results and have it confirmed when he dies.

I am leaning towards you being a fake Cop though. You just seem too uninformed to be one :/ Examples are here and here.

Here (and following posts) she is fishing for info on what a Cop (Her role) can do. Why not ask about it in a PM instead of giving it to the Mafia in the thread? Unless she's Mafia looking for info?

In comparison adam has provided information about his role that LS later confirmed to be true. I don't know how he would know it otherwise.

@sfg:
strager's spent most of his posts speculating about the game setup rather than the game, and combined it with rolefishing. Although he did that last game(s?), there just seems to be more of it in this game than usual. strager's also speculating about what roles can do - eg. roles that gain powers, etc. with absolutely no proof at all, AND such things can never be proved while the game is still running. A wrong guess at the game setup can easily be disastrous for town. We're wasting precious time on such things.

In short:
  1. speculating about setup - scumtell
  2. rolefishing - scumtell
  3. misdirecting town attention - scumtell
Lucidity also raises some good points about you (sfg) - why do you seem to know absolutely nothing about your supposed cop role?

also less maths, more play plz.

greeeeaaat plan. lets go and kill off the cop to make sure hes a cop and hope the person he happened to scan was mafia. why didnt i think of that?

D: of course im still uninformed i havent had a chance to investigate anyone yet! geez, i cant pull results out of my hat you know.

Brownie or Brownjob is a slang term for cop in parts of the US and some fiction series', based on the brown uniforms they wear. I guess what is obvious to me is not necessarily obvious to others.

yeah we're wasting our precious random vote session while we muddle around trying to figure out what to talk about =.=;


Lucidity also raises some good points about you (sfg) - why do you seem to know absolutely nothing about your supposed cop role?
obviously i was concerned because my cop role is different from adam's. specifically, adam is (supposedly) a Day Cop whereas I am a Twilight Cop. Thus the investigations happen at different times and i was confused by the different setup and thought adam was making things up. im still not sure he isnt but you two have persuaded me that he might be telling the truth.

as for the me not trying to take action, i hadnt exactly tracked down the part where Subi said i couldnt take action on T0 but i remembered seeing it, which is why i didnt attempt and couldnt prove offhand that i couldnt take action on T0.

How is that safe? We only get one investigation from adam that way, and hopefully another from SFG if she makes it to D2. Maybe even none if adam is Naive or Paranoid (or lying about his role, but if that were true, he'd probably be the Mafia and we'd win anyway).

If both Cop claimers are kept alive, and at least one of them remains alive for D2 (likely; hopefully adam stays alive, as he can bring results before Twilight), we can get two or three investigations by D2. However, we don't know the sanities, but that can be found out if either or both Cops are killed by D3, LyLo.

I think it's better to try and keep the Cops alive for at least D2 so they can have as many investigations as they can. Thus, I'm not voting either of the two for now.
If you read my entire post and the post it was aimed at as a reply (SFG's suggestion) you'd understand it better maybe. Please reread :P Pay particular close attention to: "The safest option to pursue if we followed this strategy..."

Horrid defence this time though! You did the same thing and admitted that it was to the detriment of the town. Why does it make it all better if she does it? Furthermore you were trying to find out about roles in general. SFG was fishing for info on the Cop role. The role she claims to be. A role she can safely enquire about via PM without giving the Mafia valuable information. That's not on.

I agree, which is why I stopped myself. I don't think it's THAT much of a risk that we would lose because of a guess/hunch/whatever, as we have at least three Days to catch the Mafia (assuming there's only one).
Justifying "guessing" with more guessing? That's a nono. We should try to work with what we've been given as much as possible. Any guesses should not be given TOO much weight.

Everyone who has role claimed so far has had a special prefix or other change to it (Day Cop, Twilight Townie, Twilight Brownie (?)), except for SFG, who just said she was a "cop". Since adam says he's a Day Cop, I would think the cops would either be told they are a Twilight or Day cop. Why didn't SFG specify one of these in her initial role claim? I think it's quite possible SFG made an early claim just to appear confident in her role, but didn't have the knowledge of the existence of Twilight/Day cops at the time

You did think of that? You're the one who suggested the trade here? I'm the one who said it's only a good plan in a setup where the roles are known? Yeah, I elaborated on a strat to follow if we did go this route, but I didn't suggest we use it and I didn't vote adam. I was simply sharing some thoughts.

You misunderstood. You are uninformed about your role, the very thing that you should know most about. I find this highly suspicious and the fact that you asked about it in the thread is even more suspicious :/

SFG has taken strager's spot and shot to the top of my suspect list. The fact that she may be a Cop makes it hard to vote for her though :/

Ninja'd again :O

Here's your initial claim:
oh right i want this discussion started fast so


Claim: Cop
And your second claim:
oh i actually meant to claim cop
You only mentioned "Twilight Cop" now on page 11. After everyone claimed their special roles. The mention of "Twilight Cop" was also necessary to differentiate between Day Cop and your supposed role in that quote. All in all, not a very strong defence from your side :/

Explain? :/

Of course you know now that you should be a twilight cop, but why didn't you say so when you first claimed? If adam was told he's a day cop, you should have been told you were a twilight cop, and if you were you would have specifically said so when you first claimed. The fact that you were so suspicious of adam's claim of Day Cop also supports this.

i thought it was obvious that a cop in a nightless game would act in twilight rather than at night =.= obviously i was horribly mistaken

I'm defending her (really, I'm just saying I'm not voting for her; she's not cleared any more than anyone else) because she claimed Cop. Only she and LS and some lucky spectators know if there's truth in the claim, but I don't want to (help) make the mistake of lynching a Cop.

That's not true - if your role had been stated as "Night Cop" you'd've said you were "Night Cop"; I don't see why you wouldn't have said "Twilight Cop" if your role had said so.

Even though this is setup speculation, I'm sure everyone here would agree 3 cops doesn't sound quite right :P

Saa~ Did you ONLY ask about Cops? Sure the majority was focused on it, but it wasn't an exclusive interest. I'm going to bed now, so I'm not going to reread the thread again to find counter examples -.-

You're missing the point though. SFG claimed to be a Cop. You didn't. She could PM LadySuburu to her heart's content and find out everything she possibly wanted. Her role PM would probably have specified most of the things she wanted to know anyway. The point is it's suspicious of a Cop to be so clueless~Throwing around exactly how her role works in the thread is also very risky...

Even though this is setup speculation, I'm sure everyone here would agree 3 cops doesn't sound quite right :P
Actually I think strager's initial "claim" was a joke (in this post he does not say he's a cop)
I just realized this as well, I even had an entire post about how strager and SFG were the mafia, then I read that and now it's just SFG :P

Wait so only adam and SFG officially claimed cop now?

Can I remind you that Night 0 (or Twilight in this case) is a part of the game - it's a chance to discuss in advance? I won't accept anyone saying that they were "just joking around" in T0.

About my claim, I thought I clarified here: viewtopic.php?p=167805#p167805

T'was a joke.
I was going with the "re-roleclaim if you're serious" thing by Derekku, which everyone else followed. (Hmm, what did Echo call that again?)

I don't see how that matters. If SFG asked a question here about another role, would that change your mind about pointing SFG's question out? No.

It's risky, but there are many possibilities, including:
  1. She was fitting in with the questions I was asking.
  2. She didn't realize she was making her question public and possibly helping the Mafia.
  3. She did realize she was making her question public and was trying to help the Town (and perhaps adam, though I don't think the question she asked applies to him).
  4. She was trying to expand upon my previous question about investigating dead people. (Possible way to find her sanity or land a useful investigation.)
SFG posted that the first of these was the case. I'm inclined to believe the last point was part of asking, too, though.

Wow, I just realized I missed a few posts. /me reads.

Nothing to comment on, though I'm slightly less believing SFG now, to the point where I'm not not going to vote for her today. Still, I'd like to keep a claimed Cop alive until D2.

i think he was trying to start discussion, as were most of us. its super hard to scumhunt people if theres no discussion going on

Again, I don't want adam or SFG to be killed D1/N1 so we can have enough investigations. We can lynch adam if he gets a flipped vote D2, find his sanity, and win the game, for example. (If adam is the Mafia, we win anyway.)

I would be doing the same for adam, but he's not talking much or being attacked.

There's no need to defend possible cops? There wasn't any danger - I'm not voting them, I'm just pointing out possible inconsistencies. You guys seem way too jumpy.

Let me ask you a question then - who do you think we should lynch today then?

And it's four to lynch, right? We'd need at least two votes on one person, otherwise it's a no-lynch. In fact, a no-lynch may be useful for the Cops to investigate, but it gives the Mafia a chance to hit both if there is no Doctor around (which is bad bad bad).

no lynch on odd numbers is bad, both statistically (which you definitely know) and in terms of scumhunting since votes and reasons for voting reveal much about people

why would you even suggest a no lynch then negate that suggestion by saying it's bad?

I'm saying a no-lynch will happen if two votes aren't on one person. See what happened in BM1.

I agree with 0_o, because we can test sanities that way. That is, lynch the person who adam investigates and compare it with the role of the lynched person. That will reduce it down to two possible sanities.

I'm kinda stuck between Echo, Lucidity, and SFG now.

Echo seems pretty lax, like in BM1 and M3, but unlike in M2. In BM1 and M3 he was a Mafia (right? I think), and in M2 he was the Cop. Also, there's that logic about helping the Mafia with information, but even if I agree with him, he did bring that point up in BM1, and I'm not sure if he did M2 (or if the situation called for it). Meta-playing is kinda weak as an argument, though.

Lucidity doesn't (to me) have sense in his reasons for arguing his points. (That's poorly worded; hope you get the meaning.) He could be trying to scumpaint, trying to do something to help the town, or do something to seem to help the town.

SFG's been acting weird today (in Earth days). Pretty suspicious. Still, I don't want to regret a lynch of a Cop.

On the others:

0_o, uh, I forget. Oh, right, he claimed Twilight Townie. No idea. In a similar situation as Derekku. That is, undecided.

adam needs to speak a bit more, especially of his investigation results.

Derekku had a weird claim, and it's pretty wild. He could be claiming such an eccentric role to alleviate suspicion. Of course, he could be telling the truth, too. WIFOM, I think? Nothing for or against him I think.

With that, I'll vote: Lucidity, awaiting adam's investigation results.

Okay, I'm going to throw an idea out here and it'll probably get shot down.

[theory]
There are two mafia in this game. They are adam and SFG. They both claimed cop to lessen suspicion on themselves. Cops can be crucial to this game, and so usually people won't vote for them. But after a couple of days and we've "learned their sanities" (aka lies), we completely trust them, but then everyone else gets lynched and they (the mafia) win.[/theory]

I think that the best action today would be to lynch one of them and see what their role is. Truthfully, I don't even think that it's worth saving a "cop" until we've seen their results. By the time we've figured out their sanities, it's too late (like I said above). Truthfully, cops shouldn't even role claim unless they have results and are sure of them (or are mafia being crafty). This just brings more suspicious onto them.

Okay I'm tired of thinking for tonight so I'll stop here. *puts on flame shield*

Okay, I have a few bits of info to share at the moment.

1. Due to a slight error on my part, I am resending some role PMs. I did not specify something specifically in some of them, and in another I actually sent the wrong role. If you recieve a PM, you know who you are.

2. Please avoid talking about this game outside the thread. Also remember that any conversation outside MAY be fake as well, in the event some discussion does happen. But please, remember this thread only.

@strager: Like I've said before, the problem I have with cops with sanities in short games is that they have to be figured out before we can make anything of it. I mean yeah it still might be useful and there might only be one mafia, but who knows ._.

strager (2) - Echo, adam
adam (2) - Derekku, SFG

Not Voting - Lucidity

EDIT: Also, mafia: Kill SFG tonight, since if she doesn't die we will probably lynch her tomorrow, and none of us want a shared win ^_^

Seeing as SFG is no longer claiming cop, I think it's safe to say that adam is sane since he is the only claimed cop now..

EDIT: also SFG, claiming a role that's a target for night kills probably isn't the best jester strategy :P

geez this is just the kind of crazy role Subi would get


welp im not a jester anymore. guess he didnt want me to give up. sooooo....well my new role HAS to be town-known for it to work so i HAVE to claim it.

Claim: Pressured doctor

i can protect people at twilight, but only if at least half of the town pm's me during twilight telling me who to protect. I have to forward the pm's to LadySuburu so he can confirm it.

the pm must only contain the person i am to protect, and can only be sent once per person, so think carefully x_x if two of you (im the third for the majority atm) agree is the only time i can protect someone. if i get more than that i have to follow the majority.

information is public because i have no choice dont flame me for it plz

That's why we have to lynch her tomorrow. If she isn't mafia, the mafia will NK her because they don't want a jester win any more than we do. If she survives the night, that tells us that the mafia didn't want to kill her, and the only reason that would happen is if she is a mafia member.
