One of the slips occurred early before anything was done, and the other I have accounted for in my rule set.Armlx, making a no discussion policy won't make idiots stop being idiots. In the game you mentioned, the town was still able to spill out who the Kings were even though JDodge had that strict lynch-lynch-lynch policy set in place.
Just say "Vote: so-and-so" and tell everyone to read their posts. It worked in the last Open Setup of this.armlx wrote:And how do we scum hunt without explaining suspicions?
How is this different then with no talk just voting them at the start of the day?Just say "Vote: so-and-so" and tell everyone to read their posts. It worked in the last Open Setup of this.
Only slightly (1/8 vs 1/6), and not at all having to do with game balance issues. As for more people being dumb, I estimate the same ratio of dumb has been in every AITP game.Also note that the mini AITP is different than the large AITP. Speedlynching there had a higher chance of hitting scum, and more players that they had to read/could slip up.
That would make things all too easy.
A note that I didn't realize until now (not major): Assassin wins when king is dead. If the king is lynched, the assassin wins immediately. I assume this was obvious, but better to eliminate any possible confusion, right?
I don't know, but I've read both of Rishi's AITP games and I know that they managed to make the game work without killing all discussion. I agree with a lot of the theory that PokerFace and Korlash said during those games.armlx wrote:How is this different then with no talk just voting them at the start of the day?
I don't see that big of a difference between my suggestion and their actions.I don't know, but I've read both of Rishi's AITP games and I know that they managed to make the game work without killing all discussion. I agree with a lot of the theory that PokerFace and Korlash said during those games.
What you're suggesting resembles JDodge's outlook on the game.armlx wrote:I don't see that big of a difference between my suggestion and their actions.
Thats the point on D1. Then on later days you can look at vote patterns etc.If posts are more or less the same as nothing, then why not just pick a target and say "hey, guys, lets all lynch this person right now"?
I did in my first post. Wolf seems like the one most likely to cause an error if he is town (no offense), as he is a newish player who is going to try and contribute to the game.Eh, that was me just asking you why you haven't picked a target and done that yet then. Since you are advocating it, why not start us off by purposing a lynch?
Why are we obliged to kill myself or you? I love how you say:armlx wrote:Sigh, and error 1 goes to armlx. Why didn't I just listen to my own advice of STFU everyone and vote.
We are now obligated to lynch Wolf or myself today, as either I have essentially admitted I know he isn't king, or I am an assassin lying and randomly choosing someone.
So you aren't sure I am town, but I will cause error if I am (btw no offense was taken by that). You say I am newish who is going to try and contribute to the game. How is contributing a bad thing???armlx wrote:I did in my first post.

But scummers tend to be a nitpicky, meticulous bunch, so closing all loopholes seems like a good idea.
