Well, I'll start us off, gentlemen. Who would make a good fit for driving? Any volunteers?

RedCoyote · Post Post #27 (ISO) » Thu Jun 05, 2014 4:04 pm

Or, I should say, lady and gentlemen.

This game seems rather easy actually. If we play our cards right, we are guaranteed a 50%

or better

of winning.

I can reveal how this is possible when we near the end, first I suggest we claim. I would propose the following:

Everyone first claim whether they're henchman, specialist or mercenary (NO STATS).
Second, based on claims, we either have henchman or specialist claim next:
Start with everyone claiming their LOWEST stat, then go in reverse order with everyone claiming their HIGHEST stat (ie, no one claims first or last if we all claim in reverse).

At first I was convinced the head honcho should claim specialist, but honestly it doesn't matter. Because when all is revealed head honcho takes himself out of the equation.

It is however, incredibly important, that no town lie about their role.

Btw, once everyone has claimed their role I can elaborate how we have 50+% but must wait till we all claim. I also have a trick up my sleeve for the mercenary to join us >=].

I am a SPECIALIST.

We don't want the Mercenary to join us though... he sucks, lol.

Once everyone has claimed role, I can actually explain how the Mercenary can be

very

helpful to us and himself.

Role claims first though, because I don't want to give Mafia/Mercenary any ideas of how they should claim.

How do the claims work if the stars are the same? Which one am I meant to claim is my highest?

Aronis · Post Post #32 (ISO) » Thu Jun 05, 2014 4:42 pm

The merc would naturally claim specialist.

But yeah, I am a SPECIALIST!

The ones that my phones decided were better than my stats.
(btw I'm claiming henchman)

You guys are so dull. Why nit a Merc or a COP!? Or you could just claim mob boss and watch the chaos ensue.

The Mob boss

has

to lie about his role, otherwise we all lose. That said, I am a Henchman.

Since cops are town, I agree with this statement.

The rest of us are not town, we are MOB! WHOOOO.

...but actually, I'm the mercenary and I'm in it to win it. Take me with you, Bossaroo! Put me in, coach!

Specialist.

Incidentally, we may need to be careful with all this. By which I mean:

@Mod: Is it possible to have two specialists or two henchmen with the same stats?

No. There are no repeats.

DiplomatDC · Post Post #43 (ISO) » Fri Jun 06, 2014 1:14 am

Are the cops allowed to communicate privately? By extension, are any of us allowed to communicate privately?

However, with Specialists. We could both have 5's in the same category and a different 3 and 1.

First off, happy birthday!

I'm claiming Henchman, now what we reveal our stats?

Telo · Post Post #47 (ISO) » Fri Jun 06, 2014 9:45 am

Are we ready to reveal our stats

ooh! Is that what you meant by stars? autocorrected stats to stars? Got it.

Mitillos · Post Post #48 (ISO) » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:30 am

STOP! No one reveal their stats.

Mitillos · Post Post #49 (ISO) » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:33 am

The only ones who should reveal their stats right now are the specialists. Given that there are three of us we can be certain that there will be at least two distinct 5s in our stats. These two are enough to get us the score of 10. Then, we can also include the Mercenary and give him victory as well.

My stats are 1 in driving, 5 in safecracking and 3 in explosives.

Blackberry and Aronis, you're up.
