Signups are now closed, and roles are going out.

Expect an odd little game.

All roles have been sent out.

With that, I will start the day now. Deadline is in 3.5 days.

With 6 alive, it's 4 to lynch.

wanna massclaim?

Why cross it out? o.o//
bmin11
because it's anti-fun. I don't mind doing it if you guys want to do this and I'll suggest it anyway if the game is getting boring.
foulcoon
confirm because the topic is somewhat unclear.
Rantai
Confirming anyway.

Made an effort to question my post, but nothing more came through. Time zone isn't also an issue too. Why don't you try harder?

Sorry, I'm quite busy (and tired) recently due to a bunch of stuff going on :?

I agree using a roleclaim would make it less fun but anything that gives us more information is good, and the only way to really solve these mini games is by mass roleclaiming early on (since there's not really much other information).
bmin11
One thing I'm worried with is that we could be giving mafia an information away for who to role block. We can't effectively use it to scum hunt since we can't really get much info from the role itself unlike PyP games.

I'm somewhat considering a No Lynch for the night, because we may have a setup of 2:4 (Two-for-one?) even though it's unlikely.
Rantai
Hmm you bring up a good point;

Let's assume a 1 v 5

- No lynch --> NK --> 1 v 4 --> mislynch --> NK --> 1 v 2 --> ly-lo

- Mislynch --> NK --> 1 v 3 --> ly-lo --> No lynch --> 1 v 2 --> ly-lo

Same outcome however there is a greater chance of informative towns to do their thing with no lynch but also a lost opportunity to kill a scum. I think a no lynch is slightly better than a 5/6 chance of mislynch though.

Let's assume 2 v 4

- No lynch --> NK --> 2 v 3 --> ly-lo
- 2 v 4 --> ly-lo

It's already ly-lo in this situation so a no lynch is also favoured.

This isn't including any vig shots, doctor roles, serial killers etc etc and assuming worst case scenario.

But as it stands our best chance is a no lynch right now and hope that we have more information tomorrow.
Rantai
Oh and regarding mass claiming, if it is 2 v 4, and we get a counterclaim on someone then we're in a whole lot of trouble because it could go both ways (ie mafia gambit to get the real role lynched or real role legitimately counter claiming) which would bring us to a lynch based on pure luck with the mislynch meaning game over (unless we get really lucky on a doc protect or something) and a successful lynch bringing us to a 1v3 ly-lo (unless doc protect).

Imo not worth it without any information at all.
pieguyn
No lynch is definitely the best idea IMO.

If someone counterclaims we could always no lynch and then try to lynch the mafia the next day, and 1/2 is better than 1/3... Also, we don't even know if there is a roleblocker @ bmin, but given LS there might be one :?

I guess that perhaps a massclaim might not be the best idea at this point. With that said, vote KRZY post please
bmin11
It is stupid to not assume there would be a role blocker. The new rule just screams for one.

If we are going to favour for more chance for the informative role to find out, a lynch would be better since having a mislynch would increase the odd.

odds for finding scum if we mislynch: 1/4 for N1, 1/3 for N2
odds for finding scum if we don't lynch: 1/5 for N1, 1/3 for N2


Ofcourse, the odds of mafia hitting an important role would also increase, but we would have to take a chance eventually.
Swiftwolf Yellowtail
..Uh, 1/3 for N2 if we don't lynch? Shouldn't that be 1/4?


Unless there's a reason behind that.
Rantai
I just spent a bit of time with excel because I was bored. http://puu.sh/8tun - Red indicates dead cop, blue indicates successful scum check.

Do note that it is huge (1000 cells). It takes into account a doctor, 1 cop, 1 roleblocker-mafia and 3 towns (assumed vanilla) but only goes up D2. It also assumes that the mafia will not roleblock and kill the same person.

To summarise;

No lynch:

- 14.4% chance to get a scum result without dying or being blocked (not on sheet, feel free to dispute if I am wrong)

- 16% chance to die (not on sheet, feel free to dispute)

Mislynch (aggregate);

-17.71% chance to die

- 6.34% of getting scum hit without being killed (from lynch and NK combined) or roleblocked.

If you do bother with the spreadsheet fiddle around with the numbers to get the individual scenario %'s but that's basically the baseline here.
Rantai
Er, successful check*

I'll review it quickly just in case I screwed something up badly.

Edit: Mistake with some doctor coefficients, changed - http://puu.sh/8ty6

Amendments (mislynch)

Cop death chance: 33.33%

Scum check chance: 10.5%

That looks much better.
KRZY
confirmed
pieguyn
that's all you have to say @ KRZY? o_o

Oh my god @ Rantai. Assuming there is a cop, IMO a no lynch with no roleclaims would be far better than the other options. We'd have two possibilites to hit mafia: the N1 check and the D2 lynch (if we don't find one we just lynch randomly) compared to just one for lynching today. Also, now that you mention that bmin11 I agree there probably is one.

Overall, the odds would be 2/5 + 3/5*2/5 = 10/25+6/25 = 16/25 (!)

The problem is we don't even know if there is a cop, since we'll have no roleclaims.
Swiftwolf Yellowtail
To be honest, we're better off not having anyone claim (especially today) to prevent mishaps of any kind.

Also, Rantai: How do you know there's a cop?
bmin11
It doesn't necessarily has to be a cop. We are assuming there would be some aux roles for town since there is a roleblocker on mafia side (what would be the point of this game if there wasn't any roleblocker?)

It's an assumption. If we don't have a cop then I'd lean towards a lynch because we're not going to have much information gathering for the night. In that situation we'll need every opportunity to lynch as we can get.
Rantai
*But I think it's at least reasonable to assume we have a cop.
pieguyn
Actually, if there is no cop, no lynch is better anyway because it improves our odds of lynching a mafia. It's 2/5 instead of 2/6 = 1/3. It also allows a night just in case a town action happens that helps us find a mafia.
Rantai
Ahh true. We only have 6 players so we can only afford a single mislynch too.

So either way a no lynch stands better.

Kinda hate disclosing this issue with only half of the player discussing this, but I don't see a better option at the moment

Sorry was too absorbed in the other Mafia game.

Looks like I don't have much of a role to play but to wait and see what happens N1.

So ya ummm...... I guess LS is busy playing Skyrim?
Swiftwolf Yellowtail
Dunno. Might be a WWG moment or something. >_>
KRZY
Is Skyrim good

All my friends on Steam are constantly playing it
Rantai
I'm told it is good...

Once I fail finish my exams this week I think I'm going to get Oblivion then Skyrim.

It's nice to see a well hyped up game not completely crap out for once.
foulcoon
just skip oblivion and get skyrim IMO

also what is the hold up? Sorry I haven't really been posting but damn. 5/6 voting No-lynch.
