Hm. Nice to see that the lurkers can be as wrong as the actual players in a game like this :).

62

(reads setup spoilers) holy cow. Will be interesting to see how the game ends.

63

I’m waiting until the game ends to read the game setup spoilers.

Then I’ll feast on the sacred rib steak.

64

For once a game is as complicated (or more so) as it sounds.

65

You’ve never looked at Super Smash Brothers or Arkham Asylum Mafia games have you?

ETA: Skrull Planet Mafia also.

66

I said this in the spoiled thread, but I’ll say it here too:

Am I the only damn person who actually remembers what genders everyone is in the game? Geezus.

67

This is why I call Normal Phase ‘Norma’ and tiltawhirl ‘tilty’.

Nicknames: useful for more than just laziness!

Ambles in

Since this game is close to the end, and since I don’t have the time or patience to reread the biggest game since M2 in terms of posts, can I be spoiled please?

Thanks.

Slightly frustrating watching the living players puzzle over how to design a three-player “test the bomb” scenario. I guess I wasn’t explicit enough in outlining my theory. Here it is for posterity:

You want to make sure that
(1) there is a 2-1 vote for Normal if all goes according to plan.
(2) the designated bomb target will be lynched if he shifts his vote at the last minute
(3) Normal can’t mess things up buy shifting her vote, either.

Thus, you elect Normal as leader and have her place her vote on the designated bomb target.

This makes sure that in a 1-1 vote, the designated target dies because Normal has the tie-breaker. And it makes sure that she can’t shift her vote, because it’s locked in.

If the designated target votes Normal early and refuses to unvote/revote, the third player can pile on the designated target.

The end.

What really baffles me is the heat USCDiver is getting for trying to find outside-the-box solutions. Everyone should be doing that, and especially someone whose head is in the noose!

The only way I can see this not working is if the three remaining players are all on different teams somehow. But then Town would lose no matter what they did.
