Power Brokers: Game of Thrones - Game Over

[Porkens]

God those pigs look

delicious

[pisskop]

oh god, thats no woman thats a pig-woman!

[pisskop]

Also I dont eat pork, so their taste is immaterial to me.

[Something_Smart]

@SS you'll have to replace votato too

Noted. I'll post the request later tonight.

[Pink Ball]

Ok I've come to the conclusion that advancing this game without knowing the alignments of the dead is too frustrating 'cause we could totally on the money or fucking us over and we need that info

What do we have to do to get said info and why we haven't done it yet

[Porkens]

The COs would need to check. Nero and auro convinced Arya to release neros second instead and votato did nothing ao the replacement could donit

[Auro]

What's better: {1 flip right now and nothing the rest of the game} versus {No flip right now but a flip every phase after Coup}

[Nero Cain]

knowing Rubi's and Ygritte flips would be nice but not knowing isn't the end of the world so I don't think Pink has much of a point.

Pork either doesn't understand or he's doing a good job pretending that he doesn't. IF both Arya and Vota are town 1 is going to die tonight and by releasing me we can save vota tomorrow night. If Vota is scum it's a moot point so eh...

but the plan of jailkeeping both seems rather nice.

[Pink Ball]

What's the point of jailkeeping them if we're gonna coup? Scum will shoot other way no?

[pisskop]

if we agree to coup then keeping the COs alive for flips is absolutely the way to go. we want every flip we can get.

the coup happens tomorrow., right? and then they assign new COs from only amoung the nobleS?
we shouldnt pick replacements until tomorrow, or at least should limit picking specific people.

Does the jail have to be public?
Does it extend to the 'night'?

Do we even have other options? because not getting flips is awful. Shutting down the majority of the powers in the game because a couple of people might be scum was a bad choice too, since now we cant even rely upon night actions (which the game was balanced around) to carry us blindly.

[pisskop]

maybe we should kill whoever championed the 'roleblock everyone so that the scum factional and a few dying COs are the only ones moving around' strat. cuz it was a bad one.

[Nero Cain]

the soonest we can coup is in 2 weeks, right? If vota is town and he's not jailkept he gets shot and we have 0 CO's left. If we jailkeep him then he doesn't get shot next week.

ofc if he's just scum then jailkeeping him is a moot point although but still erring on the side of caution seems like good play, no?

[Nero Cain]

Wasn't that auro and rubi? Rubi is already dead and auro will prob be dead b4 lylo.

[pisskop]

enh, i cant really get too behind an auro SR. ive tried though

[Nero Cain]

I sorta feel like as long as we lynch in gobble, vota, dave, auro, pink this is gonna be an auto town win.

[Pink Ball]

Oh I thought the coup was tomorrow

[Nero Cain]

I don't think so though I could be wrong. I think that Auro's army makes it to the capital next week and then week after Dave and fire's army makes it there.

[Porkens]

It’s just not going to happen imo, but I don’t have a better plan at all. I have a feeling that we just need to keep lynching the scummy folks until the games over and I don’t think the mechanics are going to play a big part unless a scum noble kills their residents or something.

[Nero Cain]

we just need to keep lynching the scummy folks until the games over

prob. this is what I was pushing the other day. Auro wants us to all move to a castle and have a noble slaughter everyone and I'm just not really down for that.

[Auro]

Hey, I didn't say I particularly want it; it's just the clear highest EV strategy by a large margin

[Nero Cain]

but is it? If scum are getting their asses handed to them and there's a scum noble or 2 it also gives them there best (maybe only) chance. From my POV its best for town to just lynch. After the COs are all gone I imagine that night kills could be a little scarce so it woun't be totally like a normal game where scum can just NK whoever they want.

[Auro]

It is, since {scum are getting their asses handed to them} is itself pretty unlikely.
Scum unfortunately have other countermeasures post coup (which I won't talk about, of course)

[Nero Cain]

week 3-lynch gobbledygook
week 4- lynch Daveasz
week 5-votato
week 6- lynch Pink Ball
week 7-Auro

is roughly what I want to do.

ummm...how do you know this?

1. Probability
2. I'm good at mech
