Bobacino:
In my defense (which I will offer even though it currently appears unnecessary), the past week and a half I have been rather occupied with a death in the family. My only other game is in the themed section, and as I hadn't logged in before looking at posts, I did not notice the PM indicating that the game had started. Good job on prosecuting the silent ones; they aren't good people even if they're townies.
Mathcam:
I must say that your
Tri-Random
council voting idea seems a good way to avoid signing the death warrant of some single non-scum, if a bit inelegant.As to your thoughts on the likely non-randomness of the demographic: I find them unconvincing. It seems to me that since we are only given one instance, we can not proceed with a high degree of confidence to vote based on them save that we know there to be present an imposed order, likely attributable to human error or possibly emergent epiphenomena--chaos math, you're so cool. For that we must look to the creator of the system; is it likely that he would allow such a mathematically crass mistake to spoil our game of truth and deceit and logic?
Given my limited contact with cuban smoker, I would say no. What I have noted of him, the pompousness of the sesquepidillionaire, the basic grasp of logic of the mathematically literate, I believe indicate a high-enough degree of education to make it unlikely he made this mistake.
But you knew all that. I think you've been expressing some CrapLogic. Given the eminent utility of your Tri-Random vote, I think you not scum, for scum would likely withhold such. I must therefore assume you to be hoping to rouse a reaction from scum, as I did in my first mini-game.
And I think you've gotten one. jeep's defense at first amounted to a tu quoque sort of 'I could throw together an anyhow algorithim aimed at lynching non-mafiosi too, if I were scum like you.' When I have been scum, my first instinct when accused has always been to shift the blame, for illogical accusals oftentimes produce worthwhile results.
For that reason,
FOS
jeep, not because the demographic has been scragged up by the mod, but because he smells scummy.I thank you for your good ideas thus far. I would like to point out that what usefulness 'cam has had has likely made him a target for a night-kill, so if there is a doc out there undecided on who to protect 1st night I'd suggest the cam of math.
Mod:
1. Is the mayor a member of the town council (i.e., is his vote required to make the overriding Council lynch)?
2. What are the conditions required to 'jail' someone?
Those from the West side, that is, the best side:
I'd like to point out that in considering whom to vote for this evening that one might well remember I am young, sound in body, of good cheer among companions, of good repute in the community; that I attend neither the Catholic nor the Lutheran but rather the moderate Methodist church; that my grandfather served in WWII; that while I am unmarried I am as yet childless, undiseased, and cleanly; that while I am not rich I am neither poor; that while I speak well publicly I do so briefly; and that I really like boobies. Thus I wish to announce my campaign for the West Side.
I should like to suggest that us West-siders, if not voting me, vote for one of the following three for Council: Bobacino for his board-presence, Tigris for his cajoling one-shotters into motion, and Leonidas for his classicism.
