Micro 671: Mafia secret discussion

[callforjudgement]

Welcome,

implosion

and

MariaR

! If you wish to coordinate your actions secretly, you may do so here. You may talk here at any time of the game (pregame, Day phases, and Night phases).

[MariaR]

Oh god the one game I wanted to flip town in fk

[MariaR]

Okay timepoints will prob be our key to winning what do you think we should do go V/LA

I don't think we should give a lot of deadline help cause that's really easy to wifom.
actually a lot of this game will be wifom hmmmmmmmmm

[implosion]

oh hey there.

[implosion]

So winning this setup basically amounts to a combination of wifom and good day play. But it'll be mostly the latter. IIRC 6:2 nightless has a 50% EV, so this should be slightly in our favor from that standpoint. I don't think we need to think about the way we use the nomination too hard right now. Can figure it out later.

No need to particularly focus on distancing from each other or avoid it. Just do what comes naturally.

Timepoints aren't super important I think. Just stay active :p.

[implosion]

There are lots of options for how we use the nomination:

-Put in 3 townies to guarantee a mislynch;
-Put in the 3 towniest townies or closest-to-being-right townies to get one of them lynched
-Put in 3 less towny townies so town thinks there's some scum in there
-Put in 1 of us and 2 townies;
-Put in the scummier of us and two townish townies to try to out-WIFOM town;
-Put in the townier of us and scummy townies to try to get a mislynch + some towncred for being in the list
-Anything in between
-Put in both of us and a townie;
-Put in a scummy townie, try to get them lynched, revel in "lmao they can't both be scum"
-Put in a townish townie for maximum WIFOM value

etc, etc.

Damn you formatting. Some of those lines were supposed to be indented.

(also this is my first bona fide scum game in like 2+ years so should be fun~)

[MariaR]

*blinks* BOY WILL THIS BE FUN

[implosion]

uh, well. Was not expecting. Will think about who to nominate later.

[MariaR]

mhm agreed that was...something

[implosion]

I guess the most interesting question here is to nominate or not to nominate karnos... I guess we put ourselves in the shoes of karnos-scum. Would he nominate himself as one of the lynches? Seems like he might be the kind of player who would.

The other question is of course do we nominate one or both or neither of us. And I actually have no real preference here. Honestly I'd be okay with the result of picking out of a hat or doing it randomly, but doing this with actual randomness would most certainly violate the spirit of the setup. I just don't really feel any impetus for any noms in particular.

Thoughts?

[MariaR]

I think we do not nominate Karnos here

I do think we nominate 1 of us

the others don't really matter imo

[MariaR]

Nom:

Maria Vax BB

[implosion]

Good with me. I really don't have any strong preferences here >_>

[implosion]

I just realized that the 4 people who have been prodded are precisely the 4 people who are town and alive...

(also, I don't really want to point this out in the game thread for fear of slight awkwardness, but you missed the ™ on the TimePoints in post 75 )

[MariaR]

SHUT IT

[implosion]

who to mislynch, who to mislynch...

too many choices

[MariaR]

I know it's not fair ;-;

[implosion]

Hey, so we can coordinate a quickhammer on karnos if you want.

[MariaR]

Sure when I use the

emote I'm ready

[implosion]

Nah - just go for a timestamp. You good with quickhammering on the hour?

[MariaR]

Sure I'll be waiting

[implosion]

SO thats why im saying that it would be a better idea to lynch outside of the scums list from yesterday, because at LEAST 1 of them has to be scum with a possibility of 2.

Ugh. This argument makes the mathematician inside me twitch. You can make the same argument about anyone in the game.
