So do you all think pressure votes work p. well when you *say* they are pressure votes off the bat?

[oblivion]

Callan seemed kinda chipper and playful at the start of the game. There was a bit of that going around. However, my recollection from the few games we've played together is that she's quite focused and goes for the throat.

amirite? and has there been a change in her play while I wasn't looking?

[higgs2]

oblivion, the only truly indie roles I know well are jester and SK. What are some others?

Aza, isn't it better if we wait to lynch DP? We can always hope he worries scum enough for them to NK him.

It really depends on the win condition. Get lynched day one, last one standing, survive til end game, those are more common ones. But really, the gm could make up any manner of win condition. Any type of powers too, from non to Q-like limitless powers.

I've got the impression that she's toned her early game down a bit. Her last couple of games indicate such.

Yep it was the Tea Party mafia game where Feck voted himself and he was town: http://rationalia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=16635

Yes, I guess it takes the zing out to announce them. Mental note for the future for me.

vote Irre

Are you nervous about me?

Why do you think this might be the case?

I don't know. IIRC mantis never mayor votes me. She might be feeling completely stung about last game.

I think my frustration last game might have showed it's face just a bit !


I actually had Callan in my mind to keep an eye on.

[higgs2]

I've seen an unouted miller survive until endgame, scum won that one. I've seen a couple viewed millers lynched. Haven't seen a fake miller, well actually I have but it was a last minute distraction gambit. I'd say we give dp a bit of time, observe his play. It's a real gamble imo to let a so called miller survive to endgame because of the wifom.


I don't know about Callan. I don't have a strong impression of previous play.

[Mantisdreamz]

^because of her in and out posts. Again though, it was bed time for her.

Ok. I'll come off high alert. thinking back, IIRC she changed things up a little in the carnivale game.

Morning. Sorry DP, it's sub-8am here, I know that's not a good excuse for not being here earlier, but here I am.

Feck, what are you up to? I call shenanigans, I bet you're jestering.

vote feck

why did you mayor vote Feck, Irre?

[higgs2]

Just spotted this on a readback.

Also, Gib was scum in the last two games. While I understand that the roles are random, I'm inclined to think that he's more likely to be town this time which is more than I have for the rest of you so

VOTE GIB

http://mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?tit ... 7s_Fallacy

assuming an unbiased coin.

considering that the ultimate decision is down to the GM who is not unbaised, this is not a good argument, the last game the GM re-rolled everyone because two noobs were scum in the first attempts, who's to say that zig hasn't re-rolled us because he thinks Gib has been scum too much recently?

Do you have anything other than wifom and speculation to contribute? I think the gib can't be scum three in a row thing is poorly thought out.

Not to be pedantic but an individual's odds of being scum are the same on a reroll. I don't think this is a productive road to go down, but travel it if you must.

[higgs2]

I'm a little wary of Ob or Aza.

Why? From today's play? If so, what?

[higgs2]

there is also experience in games that had miller roles. they never survive long. town often gets useful info from the reactions.

btw have I mentioned that I kinda wonder if there is a scum team? 11 players and a bunch of indies doesn't leave a lot of room for scum.

heh. dp may be the only player who views as scum.

That would be more like one of Azathoth's games.

we'll see I guess. I'm not seeing room for much indie presence otherwise.

This is a good point with so few players. How could the game balance if there are more than one indie, some scum and some town?
