Bleedin Green Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 You didn't exactly reveal last time though...Scum! Not true... when he said he was the cop he was 100% telling the truth. It just so happened that night we put an end to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, seriously it was pretty fun getting turned. Will be interesting to develops in this next game as people like me now have 2 games under our belts playing with and against one another.

CTM Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 Can we knock off the killing yourself thing in this game? I know I set a bad precedent.

Jets Voice of Reason Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I'd also like to hear the logic behind "lynch the most guilty and investigate the most innocent" Why wouldn't you investigate the guilty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTM Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 Can anyone explain to me the theory behind 'lets lynch the inactives'? Cause in lieu of a better choice, lynching inactives help speed the game up and eliminates the ability to "hide". The more people that participate the more interesting the game is. If I don't have a good feeling on who is scum, I'd always prefer to get rid of the player not contributing versus the one that is.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, when it was made public that we were going around lynching inactives, its easy for mafia to jump on that train. Then, when a player shows up, he has no defense besides, 'I'm here now'. It's not a strategy, it's a cop out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTM Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 I'd also like to hear the logic behind "lynch the most guilty and investigate the most innocent" Why wouldn't you investigate the guilty? BEcause sometimes mafia seem the most innocent. Remember that they know everyone's alignment from the get go. It's very easy for them to suggest that player "a" is innocent, and when they turn up dead they get "trust" points for defending an innocent. Likewise, they can bus their own teammate with the same goal in mind. Investigating these guys while lynching the scummiest prevents a "trusted" mafia member from wreaking havoc on the town..

In game 1, two of the inactives were mafia (lil Mike and JT's) Further, most times it's bandwagon an inactive to get them to participate then back off.. Finally, you know I like multiple trains, if the mafia wants to be that obvious by jumping on ervery inactive train, they'll be easy to catch.. It's a perfectly fine strategy imo cause I think inactives spoil the game a bit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggin94it Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Can anyone explain to me the theory behind 'lets lynch the inactives'? Can't draw conclusions or make deductions about people who don't post, and mafia will usually have at least one low-laying member. At worst, it gets people to talk, at which point you can start analyzing their posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Of course, its a strategy that works best in proper doses - the closer you get to endgame, the more important it is to find a mafioso and the less you can afford to have an innocent result, so at a certain point, investigating the scummiest makes sense. But in general, lynching an innocent who is acting scummy is less detrimental to the town than trusting scum who's acting innocent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except, two things: 1) you've gotten the player to be more active (hence, you can analyze later); and 2) you have data on voting patterns for later if the player is lynched or night killed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last game everyone got close to lynching Thor because he was inactive. Well, he was inactive the game before as well. Then, as soon as RD took over for him, there was no more suspicion.

If they didn't think the game was vanilla they'd have no reason to follow the rules. Certainly there was no rules for the TV Land game as it was obviously a unique setup..
