Reservoir Dogs Mafia Game thread

Why are you voting me, char?

Not following the game. Electing to vote Feck when the obvious choice of the two would be ksen if it turns out Aza is a normal seer getting correct information.


Linus, how likely is it they'd all be normal seers if Zigmen didn't get a result on his view ... Unless he was blocked, of course.

I'm hoping that it works something like the game where I had a crapload of vigs but only one got a bullet each night. That would be best case scenario

Ani, read the thread.

Except that you've had two views to Zigmen's zero.

And on that, sorry Zigmen.

So today we have a dead cop (scum) and no dead townies? Why not? Who's wondering why their kill didn't go through? Who's wondering who broke the TR/Ratz Mayor protect canon and protected the Mayor last night? And then who's come on today with a story about viewing the new Mayor and Feck and persuaded almost everyone to follow suit?

[Adenosine]

I protected ksen last night and ksen is still alive.

I protected Zigmen the previous night.

Just looking at the cop/seer sanity variations on the wiki ...

Sanities

Since the ability to uncover guilt or innocence regardless of analysis of play is a very powerful ability, some moderators dampen the cop's ability through the use of sanities - alterations to the accuracy of the investigation results. Cop is the only investigative role where it is established that results may not be accurate, and if a Cop is not told that it is Sane it is assumed that any of these sanities may apply. Note, however, that non-Sane Cops are not common in smaller games as there is relatively little time for the Cop to deduce its sanity. Sanity may or may not be revealed upon death, according to the mod's discretion.

* Sane Cop: Always gets correct results (i.e. "guilty" for anti-Town roles and "innocent" for pro-Town roles)
* Insane Cop: Always gets reversed results (i.e. "guilty" for pro-Town roles and "innocent" for anti-Town roles)

Once the player realizes they are insane, they can generally produce effective results by reporting the opposite of what they discover.

* Paranoid Cop: Always gets "guilty" results

Once the Cop discovers their sanity, they may stop investigating, as all results are equally useless.

* Naive Cop: Always gets "innocent" results

This may be the most common variant sanity used, as it masks Scum even if the Cop dies early.

* Random Cop: Gets a randomized result without regard to who is investigated

This is a bastard role and almost never used.

Moderators' judgment varies as to whether roles that falsify investigative results (Godfather, Framer, Miller, et al.) affect non-Sane Cops.

It occurs to me that if Aza is a paranoid or a random cop, the flip of ksen will not tell us anything about Feck's alignment, nor vice versa.

Aza, what made you decide against outing yesterday?

[charlou]

I protected ksen last night and ksen is still alive.

I protected Zigmen the previous night.

Why did you protect Zigmen?

[Azathoth]

Aza, what made you decide against outing yesterday?

I was considering it but I didn't see the point with only one view. Then zigmen had a meltdown and ragequit so it was decided for me

[charlou]

I've reread aza's previous days' posts in light of his role claim and they're consistent with what he's told us today.

[Adenosine]

I protected ksen last night and ksen is still alive.

I protected Zigmen the previous night.

Why did you protect Zigmen?

Claimed seer? Who wouldn't protect him?
