So you're arguing that a Wolf lynch is good for town, and also beneficial to Mafia greatly and also that you'd lynch a WW if you knew one...

Okay, I think I've got this figured out, assuming this is TvT, which I believe it is.

1) Both of you agree a WW lynch is best.
2) Both agree a No lynch is the second best option
3) Auro has done some voodoo math that I don't get involved in to say he's got a 1/3 chance to be right
4) A50 disagrees with the math, probably using some wiccan math which I don't understand
5) Auro is confident that McQueen is WW
6) A50 is not.

I think this just comes down to the voodoo math versus the wiccan math.
I've only made one good post, and don't you dare accuse me of doing it again.

I also assert again that McQueen has a lot of scum equity, I've made a case approaching it from a few different angles - and looks like at least 3 others agree on it, so I'd like to see you comment on that as well, A50.

Where did Auro make claims of being Mafia?
That I did clarify, I gave 3 reasons why he's Mafia. But because you are a good friend I'll reiterate:

1- Avoiding Bambi (a claimed Mafia if we choose to believe that). The fact that he is excluding Bambi from being a WW and accepting his claim as Mafia is reason enough to think they're both Mafia.

2- His manipulation of the game status and pushing for a lynch at all costs. A mislynch is beneficial to both scum, but he is excluding a lynch on Mafia too, so a mislynch or a WW lynch. >>> MAFIA

3- I forgot what the third was, but go back to the very post where I said that and read it and my subsequent post. Either that or ISO Auro since the start of D2 and see for yourself.

There's ONLY ONE other possibility, which is Bambi+Auro IS the WW team, but I don't see that as probable, because Bambi is a much better player than to do this and expose the whole team. I thus believe him to be Mafia indeed, and Auro is certainly on his team.

It's not voodoo math.

1. Bambi's claimed Mafia
2. Bambi wouldn't bus his partner in this situation cause it's a really, really really stupid strategy for Mafia
3. That brings the lynch pool to 7; a seer would claim at L-1 so brings it to 6
4. 2 wolves; so 2/6 = 1/3 chances of hitting a wolf.

I don't disagree with A50's math, I disagree on his conclusions from the math. His math basically says 1/3 chance of 5-2-2 tomorrow and 2/3 chance of 4-3-2 tomorrow, and there's a greater chance of regaining town majority than if we lynch; my counter-argument is that a majority doesn't make sense with both wolves alive and isn't worth sacrificing a chance to lynch wolves for.

1. Bambi could be a WW, sure. I'm lynching that slot anyway later. However, it's most likely he IS Mafia claiming Mafia, and even then, suspicion that he's a WW won't prevent me from lynching McQueen.

2. *You* seem to be manipulating the game status. I specifically stated multiple times that I want a WW lynch, and if you believe it's a mislynch, argue against the case? ALSO, your no-lynch from your pure mechanics logic favors Mafia more than it favors town -> Because with a NL, there's a 5/8 chance of scum hitting a town slot. If from town PoV, a 1/3 chance of 1 less Mafia is favorable, then from a Maf PoV, a 2/3 chance of 1 less villa is even better, no?

Bambi gave the a-OK to lynch McQueen.
I was expecting him to refuse and continue tunnelling the hydra (or) argue in favor of a no lynch if McQueen was Mafia.

Do you think Bambi would so readily bus his buddy?
We don't need Bambi to bus his partner; but that he readily voted is indicative that the partner isn't Mafia -> leading to the 1/3 number.

See? THIS is a misleading statement. WHO says it will be a VILLA kill all the time? It's a 5:3 at random, and assuming WWs don't want to hit Mafia at this point is stupid.

Let's do the math..

If we mislynch we are 4-3-2, and WWs don't want the kill is on Villa = 3-3-2. By this point the town has lost already, and I suspect the Mafia become too powerful to overcome by TOWN & WWs COMBINED (unless WWs open wolf and the whole Town is willing to give them the win)

If we No Lynch, and the kill hits "Villa" it is 4-3-2 tomorrow, and by sheer numbers we are likely to lynch "not-town". Not to mention it becomes "odd numbers by day" a game, which is ALSO
statistically proven
pro-town in games with single NKs.

Oh, shit, I just realized why my math has not been working out at all. I was reading the living players as the starting player list.

Still, Bambi is not needed to kill Mafia.

I think it is more likely to be indicative that they are not partnered, but I can think of reasons for her to vote there if they were mafia partners. It could be to throw off Vote Count Analysis later, counting on our losing interest in an early Day 2 lynch and moving on to someone else, etc. I'm going to give you more than 50% that they are not aligned, but its not impossible.

1 Mafia dead, 1 Mafia claimed (guaranteed lynch), 1 remaining.
With both wolves remaining with their NKs.
It's a surefire way to lose as Mafia.

I don't want to hammer a no lynch by mistake, how we looking on that front?

It won't be a villa kill *all* the time. 5/8 = 62.5% which is 4% away from 2/3.
Mafia isn't too powerful to overcome even if we mislynch, but WW will get incrementally more powerful to lynch if we don't lynch them.

Risk(Not lynching WW) > Risk(Mislynching) IMO.

Lynching Mafia after a No-Lynch today with Villa-kill is still bad, it means WW are even more incrementally powerful!

WWs have a night kill. We have claimed Mafia.

The NK makes WWs very dangerous, significantly more than Mafia.

Ok if you just consider this "Wolf/NotWolf" then odds/evens makes more sense but with this number of players I think it's a slightly greater chance, and I'm asserting yet again that lynches are the ONLY tool we have to get rid of Wolves. They do have shots at night; that might help us clear Mafia, and in any case once we get one wolf down we can Mafia-hunt.

BuJaber, please see what I'm seeing here. :shifty:

Say 3 town, 1 maf. MyLo.
If you lynch you're supposed to pick from 3; if you NL you pick from 2 in LyLo, 33% chance of scum lynch vs 50%.

I think it's a general extension of this idea; however I think the benefits of no lynching specifically in these terms reduce a lot as you increase the number of players.

And in a multiball game where the NK can hit either Maf or Villa with different win-cons, I doubt the "odds > evens" argument even holds significant validity.

Also @A50:
If we follow your plan and NL, and the NK is a VT, you want to lynch Bambi tomorrow? Meaning they get another NK?

Can you see how your plan probably makes it muuuuuch more beneficial for Wolves?

Odd numbers require "relatively" less votes to lynch. As -say- aa needs 6 to lynch, yet 10 ALSO needs 6 to lynch.

In THIS GAME, we are talking about that extra vote being TOWN, so I don't want to risk a MISLYNCH. Ot also had to do with the TOWN controlling the MAJORITY of votes. RIGHT NOW, if we ALL TRUTHFULLY CLAIMED, the TOWN cannot lynch without the help of either scum side. We just CAN'T because we do not control the MAJORITY.
