what I am trying to say is that if I did not want to get lynched I would have been more quiet because that strategy always works with newbies for reasons being demonstrated right now. Veterans are more keened to vote the silent ones out because they contribute least to the game

Great Idea Mafia Game Over

In my experience, the ones who talk themselves into the grave are, for the most part, actually scum. I don't ever have a problem with coming off as scum unless I actually play as scum. You're just more prone to subconsciously doing scummy things when you are scum. That's just me though, so idk.abraker wrote:

It seems only natural considering we've got practically nothing on the silent ones and it's only the first day.
westonini you missed the point
if I didn't want to get lynched then I would have been more quiet

No I understood. All I'm saying is that it's not surprising that this was the outcome.

It's actually case-by-case and playstyle has a high factor in it.
But I don't want to read his past games so do that for me.
wonder how stating lynching on first day was too early made me sus for mafioso, but ok. anything can be sus on first two days tbf
you get info by accusing others or mafia. The price? You are now mafia according to everyone else.Husa wrote:

i will randomize roles for every player in the game until there's at least 50% town players and at least 1 anti town player, i will continue to randomize until at least something's balanced and/or fun
I doubt 1 mafia vs 7 townies will make things balanced. That is because there is 1/8 chance you can lynch mafia day 1 and that will be end of game. That's not really fun. 3 mafia will be hellish because in worst case scenario you can get a townie lynched and another killed at night, making it 2 vs 3 by day two. To make things interesting, there could a third-party. But yea, 2 mafia is what we should be up against.
Given that, let's look at the vote list:
-
Voting: abraker, Death, keremal, Penguin
Not voting: cravenfinder, Westonini, GuyInFreezer, Husa
I'd say there are good odds that there is one scum in the voting group and one scum in the not voting group.
My bad make 3 vs 3 if there are 3 mafia. Was thinking of 4 townie vs 3 mafia starting, which isn't right. That combo can also work. So make that 2-3 mafia in this game.
but I highly doubt 3. Will be surprised if so
I agree with the 2 mafia theory. Maybe 2 mafia, 1 neutral makes the most sense?
sounds like a good estimate

I'm not even sure if anyone would recieve enough votes to be lynched by the Day 1 deadline.
it's high probability we will end up lynching town day 1
If it's a townie power role that ends up lynched, that is a whole lot of bad
If we don't, day 2 it will be 5 vs 2 instead of 4 vs 2
I'm ok with no-lynch for now

The only thing I can think of is that we could possibly have a killing third party. If so, then we would be 3/6 town on day one if the third party kills town. It could work in our favor though if the third party kills mafia.
Is there really anything we can do after the end of the first night phase other than rely on someone who has the ability to investigate others? Regardless of who and how many people die, the murderers could really be anyone. There's no hard evidence. If we have no one with the ability to investigate, the only thing we could continue doing is having conversations and pointing fingers. And that doesn't seem like a very reliable method for finding the baddies, especially since only a few of us talk. Sure if one person dies you could immediately become suspicious of someone else, but ultimately their death could have been caused by anyone.
Well it's not so simple. Even if someone can investigate, only they will know the person's role. Also how sure are you are you there is a third party on this game?
abraker wrote:

Right. But even then in most cases it's not like they're able to share who-is-who unless they want to die during the next night phase. I'm thinking they'd just attempt to help nudge the suspicions away from anyone they know is innocent.

I'm not. It just seems likely. I'm almost certain there are at least two mafia members though.

"Votes in play" refers to when the ammount of votes is different than the ammount of players (Voteless, double voters, etc), however this shouldn't be the case for great idea mafia, it should just straight up be the ammount of players, i missed it after reusing my ruleset and will change it to players, sorry if this caused confusion

the only issue is telling which players are townies and how to get the information to them, since we can't exactly say "hey townies, the code word we're using is 'fubbernugget'." it'd either have to be a system of trusting and half-assed luck, since we can't expose our roles either since then the mafioso would be able to kill everyone.abraker wrote:

Well, if someone has information that without a doubt shows them who mafia is, then it's better to come forth with it imo. I haven't played forum mafia at all, but in IRC mafia, a quiet town is a dead town.keremal wrote:

And if Husa never responds during the night phase? This kinda confirms that either Husa is not mafia or Husa is one of the two mafia, because that would be an uneventful night otherwise.Sakura wrote:

I'm trying to google those roles.
"Lovers are players who are linked to each other. If one Lover dies, the Lover(s) linked to it dies simultaneously."
"Alien One-Shot Psychomagnet (all night actions are redirected to the target)"
I'm assuming these are correct.

I'm not exactly sure how the alien role works, but I'm assuming that mafia killed GIF and then he killed abraker?
It's pretty obvious that scum knew that I'd be suspicious if they were to kill abraker then blame me. I'm not dumb enough to actually kill abraker if I was scum.Death wrote:

So if one lover dies, the other also dies.
So since abraker was a town lover and he died, that means GuyInFreezer was his lover? In that case "Town Lover" means that the person was a Townie but could still love someone of a different role.
So the mafia killed either abraker or GIF, causing the other to die as well?

nvm, I found it
https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Greater_Idea_Mafia/RolePMs#Alien
So aliens can kill one person per game, which means that GIF killed abraker and mafia killed GIF if I'm not mistaken.
Unless there's another neutral killing. Then it just gets really confusing.

no, GIF's role would have said he was a lover, plus I don't think lovers can be cross parties.Westonini wrote:

but abraker died, meaning his lover also needs to die right? and the only other person who died was GIF.
Just because there's a lover in the game, doesn't mean that there is a second one
"Lovers are players who are linked to each other. If one Lover dies, the Lover(s) linked to it dies simultaneously."
I think I'm wrong about the cross party lovers, but still, GIF's role would have said that he was a lover.
"If there are other Lovers in the game, you will form a Lover bond with them. All Lovers will die at the same time."

Hmm, ok. So it was a one-way thing meaning abraker was the only lover?
maybe lover role doesnt have to have another to exist, its just a random chance for someone else to get it

Yeah, "However, sometimes, one lover is otherwise a vanilla townie, while the other is a mafia goon."
And I do agree that GIF's role most likely would have said lover. But it would seem odd for there to be only one lover in a game. Maybe that's just because of my lack of experience though.
If you look at the list, there are only 7 Lover roles, so having two of them is highly unlikely when there are 146 roles.Westonini wrote:

It's just that most sources I'm seeing seem to mention it being a two-way thing, with them being a connected pair.
But I guess the only way it would make sense here is if there was only one lover.

Yeah, I guess we'll just go with that since it makes the most sense here.
So GIF's Psychomagnet ability allows him to direct all actions at a single person. But seeing as he died, he probably didn't use the ability and just regularly killed abraker, then the mafia killed GIF.

makes sense
So if it was originally 5vs1vs2, it's now 4vs2. Or at least that's what seems most likely. But I suppose it's also still possible for there to be another neutral or mafia.
Topic Starter
If only a single Lover exists, they are essentially a "Named Towie" work as a VT with a different role name. This only happens in idea games where it's possible less than 2 ppl pick or get lovers as a role. Additionally Lovers works as the Mason version for Werewolves, Lovers cannot be Werewolves

Yeah, that was my theory as well. The only way that this could be incorrect is if there is another neutral killing. I still think that abraker's theory of 5 town, 2 maf, and 1 neutral makes the most sense. It could also have been 4 town, 2 maf, and 2 aliens though. In that case it would be 3v2v1 right now.Westonini wrote:

Death seemed to really jump-the-gun there with his accusation at Penguin.
That's not to say Penguin couldn't have killed abraker and just planned to tell everyone "That would be stupid of me to do that if I was mafia." But in this case it seems most likely that GIF was the one that killed abraker, not a mafia member.
