Execution Mafia GAMEOVER!

Execution Mafia

A long long time ago, near Boston Massachusetts lived a small Puritan Village. Now for those of you who do not know about the Puritans, they were very into lynching. Killings were a normal thing in this village. Some villagers, some witches. Then, however, a leader by the name of Andrew Smith decided to do something about it. He declared that the villagers should fight back! And so thus begins there story...

Game Specific Rules

#1-Players are voting each day to elect an executioner. Once a majority is reached, the executioner may post

Execute: Player

. ONCE THIS HAPPENS, NO MORE TALKING IS ALLOWED, AT ALL. There is no twilight in this game. Also, you may not execute a player until I have confirmed that a player has reached a majority. Only then are they authorized to execute.
#2-Players are voting each night to elect a killer. Voting remains anonymous and the killer remains anonymous. Members of the mafia's party count for two instead of one. You have 48 hours to PM me your vote, otherwise it won't count. I will then PM the killer and they will have 48 hours to select a kill. Players may not vote for themselves.
#3-Roles will be revealed upon death


Good Luck! Sending out PMs. Once you have received your PM, return a PM to me summarizing your role and it's description.

[mallowgeno]

Reserved

[mallowgeno]

All roles are out. Game will begin once 10/13 players have confirmed their role!

Hey guys!

First impressions of this format:

1. (This is obvious but...) It's very important we communicate and coordinate over who gets the night kill on the thread. If we all vote for whoever we want, odds are the mafia are going to get it. Plus it will give us more information to work with the next day

2. I would be willing to bet that there are four scum players, because that would give them a total of eight votes. That means it only takes one dead townie, or two depending on what happens in a tie, for them to be able to use their nightkill. I would be surprised if there were three scum players or less, because that means that they only have six votes. It would take three dead townies before they had access to the kill; which in a game this small seems like a long time. There could always be two teams or a SK, but that would also surprise me in this setup.

@mod - What happens in the event of a tie over who gets the nightkill?

3. Therefore, I think it would probably be in our best interest to give the execution to someone who would opt for a no lynch with it (or just not reach a majority). This way going into night we could have 9 town votes against 8 mafia votes. As long as we all coordinate on who we want to have the kill, and who we want that person to kill, it would be better than using our lynch to kill them. That way we guarantee that the mafia won't have access to a nightkill day one.

This is assuming that the game is 9 townies vs 4 mafia though, which is admittedly a stretch. We also don't know if there are any abilities that tamper with votes on nightkills, or anything like that, so this could be risky if we do it. However, unless we have a strong reason to suspect why someone might be scum, I think this would be our best option.

Opinions?

[Ant_to_the_max]

I like a couple of of you points and I have a couple comments on others. I'm at work now so I will properly address them when I get home.

/off topic
Do you mean LoL as in League of Legends? >_>

[Final Fires]

EBWODP: Oh whoops, I forgot to include that you can't vote for yourself to get the NK. That makes the above plan even more risky. If there are four mafia, then it would be 8 town votes against 8 mafia votes for the first kill. However I still think it's a good idea to not lynch the first time, because if we mislynch then it's 7 town votes against 8 mafia votes. Depends on how a tie is resolved whether we should actually do this or not.

[Umbrage]

Hai

I don't like agreeing to no-lynch. We're just guessing as to the number of scum. If it turns out there are five, we just wasted a lynch. It's a gamble, and I don't like it upon first impression. Also, FF's certainty as to the number of scum troubles me.

Maybe it is the best plan, maybe I'm just tired right now, but this is likely the very first thing the mod or whoever thought of when designing the setup. I doubt it'll work.

League of Legends? If so,

for being awesome.


Alright ladies n men, here is the plan.

We vote obviously on most townie, not most scummy.

Therefore I say everyone maintain a top scum or maybe top 3 scumlist and

regularly

repeat it so people know EXACTLY who you plan to execute.
Then, once we agree that a person has a good list of kills, we vote for that player. Basically, day work is easy. It's the night work that needs planning.

I completely disagree with the logic for 4 scum. I am expecting 3 scum, therefore 6 votes. They already have a HUGE advantage in that they know exactly who they are picking, so one of their members always has at least 6 votes.
So here's the town's way to circumvent this. And we HAVE TO DO THIS IN AGREEMENT.

SO HERE IS THE PLAN. I guarantee this is the best plan

We HAVE TO AGREE ON WHO TO GIVE THE NIGHTKILL TO. There IS NO ROOM FOR ARGUMENT ONCE NIGHT PHASE BEGINS.

So each day, BEFORE we choose the executioner, we HAVE to agree on a person to give the night kill to. That means whoever has the most people behind him MUST BE the person that all other townies vote.
So what does this mean? Any townie who chooses to go against the grain is fucking us in the ass and might as well join the scum. I dont CARE if you feel like the person being voted is mafia: putting your vote on someone else is NOT going to help.

The ONLY way to compete with scum is to agree on a player, for better or for worse. And if that means that we end up choosing a pro-town seeming scum: oh well, we came out even anyways. But if we are lucky enough to pick someone other than a scum, we should be able to guarantee that we control the kill.

NEXT: IF YOU DON'T FEEL CONFIDENT IN YOUR NIGHT KILL, JUST DON'T KILL.

Alright, there goes. Let's do this shit.

[Exe]

Whoa wait.

@Final Fires: Your "no lynch" plan is BAD.

Here's why. Say we no lynch. The only advantage of that, is that town can be more likely to get the kill.

Then what would be the best option for that townie with the kill? NO KILL.

See the paradox?

Scrap your plan. Give the execution to a townish player and rely on their judgement. LEARN TO TRUST.

[Exe]

Oh and slight

FoS: Umbrage

for the suggestion that there may be 5 scum. Slippery slope arguments are not a pro-town argument. There's playing it safe, and playing it like you're trying to seem cautious.

Oh and, very weak early execution choices:
1. Umbrage
2. FF

I'm going to update this list regularly.

[charter]

Few things.

First off, under no circumstances should we not use our kill every day. It makes zero sense to try and get a town majority for kills during the night when we can elect someone to kill during the day, and they have to kill who we tell them to, or they make it obvious they are a traitor to the town. Final Fires gets some scumpoints for proposing we no lynch.

Second, I like Exe.

Third, I'm pretty sure Axe is scum.

Last, I propose we vote for the most town player, and at the same time "vote" for who we want day/night killed, like

DayKill: Axe

. Essentially we still make a majority for who the person we elect kills. It's cool to be elected and have unlimited power, but frankly I don't want to leave it up to whoever we elect.

And my for reals vote,

Vote Exe

[Exe]

@Charter: The idea of voting for the kills & the executioner crossed my mind and was shot down. Here's why: You're first making the assumption that the group is smarter than the individual, which often seems to be false. Secondly, we should be voting for the executioner based on their expected kills anyways, so I don't see much reason to re-emphasize who they should kill. See what I mean? I figure if we all agree on who makes the kill, we should also be inherently agreeing upon who they plan to kill.
Hence why I say we just list who we plan to kill.

[Shattered Viewpoint]

unvote

Vote: Exe

Exe = Smart.

[Final Fires]

@Umbrage - You're right, it would be a huge risk. However, it could have a big payoff too. Five scum seems a little unreasonable though. I would view the nightkill more as our lynch; we all agree beforehand who is getting the nightkill (like exe said) and then we agree who they will kill.

@Exe - Can you elaborate on why you're against no lynch, but support no nightkill? And I agree with you that it would be a paradox, but you're forgetting that it would give our PRs an opportunity to gather more information too. The longer we can draw out the kills, the more information our cop will be learning too.

First off, under no circumstances should we not use our kill every day. It makes zero sense to try and get a town majority for kills during the night when we can elect someone to kill during the day, and they have to kill who we tell them to, or they make it obvious they are a traitor to the town. Final Fires gets some scumpoints for proposing we no lynch.

We would still know who gets the nightkill. We would discuss it in the thread, and tell them who we want them to kill. It would be exactly like a regular lynch, it would just occur over the night phase.

If ties are resolved by something like the flip of a coin, then I agree the no lynch plan is a horrible idea that is just too risky. If we did do this, I'm only suggesting we do it on day one. I just thought I would throw this out there so that people could comment on it (when I wrote it I also forgot we couldn't vote for ourselves, so I thought townies had nine votes at night. If that were the situation, then this would be a much less risky plan.)

Third, I'm pretty sure Axe is scum.

Could you explain this?

[Ant_to_the_max]

1. (This is obvious but...) It's very important we communicate and coordinate over who gets the night kill on the thread. If we all vote for whoever we want, odds are the mafia are going to get it. Plus it will give us more information to work with the next day

Yes. Communication is going to be key for winning this thing. If we all vote for whoever we want during the night, we can also gain lots of information from that as well.

2. I would be willing to bet that there are four scum players, because that would give them a total of eight votes. That means it only takes one dead townie, or two depending on what happens in a tie, for them to be able to use their nightkill. I would be surprised if there were three scum players or less, because that means that they only have six votes. It would take three dead townies before they had access to the kill; which in a game this small seems like a long time. There could always be two teams or a SK, but that would also surprise me in this setup.

I think this should stay as a moot point right now. If we end up killing 3 witches and not win, the there are obviously more then and we sniff out the rest.

3. Therefore, I think it would probably be in our best interest to give the execution to someone who would opt for a no lynch with it (or just not reach a majority). This way going into night we could have 9 town votes against 8 mafia votes. As long as we all coordinate on who we want to have the kill, and who we want that person to kill, it would be better than using our lynch to kill them. That way we guarantee that the mafia won't have access to a nightkill day one.

This is assuming that the game is 9 townies vs 4 mafia though, which is admittedly a stretch. We also don't know if there are any abilities that tamper with votes on nightkills, or anything like that, so this could be risky if we do it. However, unless we have a strong reason to suspect why someone might be scum, I think this would be our best option.

Ehh...like you said, that is banking on the numbers thing here. I think we should only opt for a No Lynch at the times when we have to tread lightly. We can safely walk away from 2 lynches today. It is a risk I am willing to take here.

As for the stuff Exe said, he pretty much summed up most of what I wanted to say.

I also propose that we do not choose the same person for the day and night lynch. This way we do not choose a townish scum and give him control of the game.

As for my day vote, I am toying between giving it to Tragedy under the premise of "Girls first" and for being awesome or give it to Final Fires for a gut feeling.

As of right now, I think Exe would be a better night vote choice instead of day.

People I would be willing to lynch; StrungOver, Shattered Viewpoint
Reasons; Just working with what I have so far. *shrugs*
