Mafia--T2: Behind the Scenes

No, you are mistaken - I haven’t made myself clear… Maybe it’s a language-mix-up :frowning:
Why do you KNOW I’m neither?

Because all the other roles have claimed.

And then you KNOW I’m lying? Why?

The way to stop this from happening is to make it not have the desired result.

If instead of getting modkilled, nonvoters start the day with a number of vote points equal to three times the number of days they have failed to vote, it will be harder and harder for them to avoid being the condemned at the end of the day.

If they’ve been not voting to get modkilled and thus clear the way for the rest of their team to win, they become a mislynch, thus making it harder for their team to win.

That on top of failing to have their say in who should be lynched, thus allowing the scum more influence than they should have.

NETA : Four posts while I was drafting that.

This suggestion is (of course) arising from the question of people not voting in order to get modkilled.

Kindly point to where I said you were lying.

Well, in his explanation, he did say “assuming everyone else has been truthful.” However, if your plan is to claim something already claimed by another player, then just remember: if you’re actually Town: (1) you have just caught scum; and (2) you have made yourself essentially un-Night-killable, at least for the near future. Bear those things firmly in mind as you proceed.

I didn’t say - I asked!
I see, I didn’t claim using the right words - but I don’t understand why you don’t think I have a Power (?) role…
If I don’t ask you - I’ll never get to know, will I?

I’m trying - but I need a bit of information. Why do you distinguish between “role” and “power role” - and what role isn’t a power role…

Total, let’s start over. These are the Town roles still left in the game:

1-5: Vanilla
8. Politican
9. Bus Driver
10. Roleblocker
11. Commuter
12. Doc
13. Paranoid Doc
14. Suicidal Vig
16. John Conner
17. Sarah Conner

These roles have been claimed:

1-7: Vanilla
8. Politican
9. Bus Driver
11. Commuter
13. Paranoid Doc
16. John Conner

ASSUMING those rules are telling the truth, that leaves:

  1. Roleblocker
  2. Doc
  3. Suicidal Vig
  4. Sarah Conner

So you’re either one of those, you’re not a Town power role, or somebody else has already claimed your real role. Now, my question is, now that we’ve narrowed down what your role is, how will revealing it hurt the town?

Vanilla Scientist isn’t a power role, because they have no powers.

I’m SORRY!
I’m a POWER role - but why do I need to say which??

Well since everybody else is doing it, and when in Rome…

I’m a vanilla scientist.

I’m just going to assume I’m playing at this point since neither Koldanar nor drainbead has posted in a while. I will also say I’m not a fan of modkilling myself just to “win” the game. Bleck.

So that the scum are forced to claim Vanilla. Otherwise, they will pair up with a conformable town member. This reduces the pool we have to look into to find them. We also have roles that can protect our power roles at Night, as well as switch an attempted kill onto a Vanilla, further lowering the pool. We need all the power roles to claim, or this won’t work.

Shit - I the doc (and I protected myself last Night)

A vanilla role.

You too? Man, pedescribe really unbalanced this game… so many vanilla scientists, so few scum.

Speaking of, I don’t believe you ever addressed this concern I had Yesterday:

I did, with my first post of the night. I wasn’t particularly concerned about ordering my candidates, in either of my two votes.

so if i’m doing my sums right thats 8 claims of vanilla (out of 5 left alive) That means 3 scum have already claimed (minimum) and have all gone vanilla. Who hasn’t claimed yet? They’re either all town or have 1 scum amongst them. Thats the group we need to look at.
