Open 401: Fight or Flight (Game Over)

[Nobody Special]

I'll just open this can of worms: Since this is a new, never-before-played setup, is theory and strategy discussion here bad/good, scummy/townish, null/void?

I see opinions, then we may or may not pontificate upon Theory.

[Nobody Special]

I think we need to strategize before the Night begins.
Like who shoots who and stuff.

Won't people who know they will be shot just commute?

I guess it could still be worth doing because on Night 2 we'd know who has commuted/who hasn't. Honestly though, I'm tempted to just say everyone do whatever they like and we'll see what happens. I'll think about it a bit more later.

This could be a useful plan....


This just feels like a setup that could be engineered by town to secure a win.

I'm not the one to engineer it, though. (I don't get mafia strategy. I'm just here to have fun.)

[Nobody Special]

Okay, so we should just play Day like normal, and do whatever we feel is best at night?

[Nobody Special]

There's a thing, that is a thing, that's really obvious to me. It virtually guarantees a town win (or, possibly, a draw. I haven't quite taken the maths to the logical extreme).

Am I the only one seeing it?

[Nobody Special]

So, I post a question; an hour and a half later, Kats posts about something else and totally ignores my question.

My question is about potentially guaranteeing a town win.

Not even addressed.

I see how it is.

[Nobody Special]

Milk got it.

Scum cannot win as long as a living townperson still has a vig shot.

Now we just have to figure out who's town enough to not use their vig shot

and

live till endgame.

[Nobody Special]

I can't think about the other one (ie lynch town d1)

Why not?

[Nobody Special]

I haven't discussed night theory because I suck at strategy. I can follow along, if it's explained slowly and carefully, but devise a strategy? It would be the equivalent of me growing a horn and becoming a unicorn.

[Nobody Special]

Wait.


What?

[Nobody Special]

We don't know whats going to happen tonight either; some of us might not be so predictable.

A veiled threat if I ever heard one.

Vote: Milk

This game is SO CONFUSING.

[Nobody Special]

And what if two of us say we'll shoot you?

[Nobody Special]

OR MORE?

[Nobody Special]

No.

[Nobody Special]

I don't intend to shoot.

[Nobody Special]

I'm saving myself. You guys do realize our vig shot is only once per game, yes?
