But then the doctors, knowing the Mafia won't shoot at the cops for this reason, will protect others.

As (a rather unhelpful, I might add) doctor in Mafia Invitational I made that exact reference, when I used the phrase 'Vizzini Complex' several times.

So my thought is this: ;2 investigations every round is better for the good guys than the random chances that the doctors protect the targets. ;As the number of players gets smaller this may become false, but at that point the doctors can start playing the protect the non-cop gambit.It's very possible I'm wrong, I just haven't heard any logic supportingit yet...maybe mafia is more a game of intution, or maybe other players experience demonstrates I'm wrong but they can't explain why. ;Sketchwick

1-->Quote (Artist Formerly Known as Duke @ April 14 2002 , 101)And multiple doctors? Look at this scenario. [snip]3. That night and ever afterwards, the doctors cover each other. Neither can be killed, and so the Mafia can never win.Except that in the end game, the remaining mafia can lynch the doctors one by one.

Three Mafia could do this. ;Two Mafia against two doctors would be a standoff.

(sigh) ;In my senario there were two doctors and two families of mafia....so two kills each night....so doctors protecting each other doesn't help if both families target the same doctor....Sketchwick

The problem is that we like to play with roles like insane cop, naive cop, and paranoid cop, which really only work under the GL system of cop info.

Quote (Chuck @ April 15 2002 , 06:52)Three Mafia could do this. Two Mafia against two doctors would be a standoff.Depends on the mod. I have been in games where a daytime stalemate resulted in a no-lynch, after which the mafia would win.

but the docs would heal eachother at night, preventing the maf from killing anyone. no one would die, so itd end in a stalemate

All the mafia has to do is claim doc-hood after the cop comes out to break the pattern. Antrax
