Micro 772: Jester Nightless

[JaydragonKing]

Dino made this comparison before, but I'll use it here to seem smart. NotMaf is a rabid dog held by a flimsy leash. He'll pounce and bite anyone given the opportunity. Last time, we (mainly me) let him run rampant. Not this time.

Well, that was fast.

A LYNCH HAS BEEN ACHIEVED!
Not_Mafia was:

a troll!

[Jingle]

Not Mafia was also

Not A Jester!

[Jingle]

But most importantly, Not Mafia was

Spoiler:

A

MAFIA GOON

!

[Mathdino]

so the question for me right now is

something smart continued to defend not_mafia after there was any utility doing so

is this town with shit reads and no concept of policy lynching

or is this scum doubling down so he doesn't look bad for defending his buddy

VOTE: Something Smart

tune in on this wagon tomorrow night at 9/8c to find out

Updating flavor, OP, and giving N_M dead thread access tomorrow. Tonight I have work to have done 3 days ago.

No Lynch day 3

No Lynch is meaningless in this setup. There is no mechanic by which a night phase can begin, nor a mechanic by which a day can end without a lynch. The jester will suicide if they are alive and there are only 6 players remaining in the game, unless someone gets themselves modkilled, in which case that number will go down. Or the jester will have been modkilled. I thought my rules and response to NK15 made that clear, but I apologize if they did not.

If I do end up needing a deadline, plurality lynching will be instituted. I'm pretty much sure that's not gonna be an issue given the speed the game seems to be running at.

getting a jester read more than a scum read, or I would vote him too.

[Mathdino]

okay but as jester why harddefend someone you don't even know/think is scum

if he's a jester he just got insanely lucky

i don't think he is tho

[eth0s]

Defending not_maf at all in this game seems like a viable jester strat lmao

[Something_Smart]

I do know what a policy lynch is.

Policy lynches are for unreadable players. Which I seem to have been talking past you when I claimed that he was not.

That said, Not_Mafia's play this game was both impressive and pathetic, but none of you cared about or even noticed it because you're just like "policy lynch the troll or he'll ruin the game". So while my read on him was shit and my foot is in my mouth for that, at least I had one.

[Something_Smart]

Defending not_maf at all in this game seems like a viable jester strat lmao

I'll grant this. I like to whiteknight as scum and I really did think he was town so as jester I would have been much more passively defending him, probably by just calling people dumb and repeating that he was town rather than addressing their actual arguments. (Conversely, I would NEVER defend him after that wagon as his partner because I saw such a low chance of people actually listening to me.)

However. I think the rest of the day should prove that I'm not jester. I can easily point to a half dozen things I would have done differently.

I say this because I should probably not live to LYLO, and if I'm not going to I should be lynched today or tomorrow. And before you go OMG jester play!!!1! remember that I'd have to have somehow CORRECTLY and confidently read Not_Mafia, despite your implications that he's difficult or impossible to read.

[Not Known 15]

Now that we really got a mafia goon lynched we have left:
6 town
1 Jester
1 Mafia
Two mislynches would make this:
4 town
1 Mafia
which means that there would be still three lynches to get Mafia.
A jester lynch is an instant loss
A mafia lynch on day 2 is an early loss for Jester(at least if the game functions as normally). This is something we need to think of. A jester will likely NOT want a lynch on anyone scummy but themselves.

[Something_Smart]

A mafia lynch on day 2 is practically a town win. All we have to do is lynch one person who's not the jester to get the jester to suicide.

Scumhunting will only result in a Jester lynch.
This is not a normal game.

[Something_Smart]

Wrong, but point taken.

The trick is to scumhunt among the people you are confident are not jester.

[Aristophanes]

I mean, Smart is the obvious partner here. Lynch them ya?

[Something_Smart]

I have a pool of three people where I'm pretty sure the jester lies. I don't really think I need to expand on it except that it obviously includes Ari.
