Well......?
Hobbes
Posted by msquared (Member # 4484) on :
You think I would put it out for the Mafia to read?
Actually, I think the best thing the townies could do would to not lynch anyone untill they were sure they were mafia. From what I understood if no one is voted for then no one gets lynched. On the first day or two there is almost zero information as to who the mafia is, so lynching some one only helps the mafia by reducing the number of citizens. Remember the mafia only win when and if they outnumber the citizens. The citizens should not help the mafia by killing other citizens.
My thought is that on turn one, after the death of the first citizen, one of the policemen should come out and identify himself. Make himself a target,(that the doctor can keep safe). The policeman can then let people know when someone is a mafia.
Remember townies, one of you is going to die every turn, wether you are police or townie. Only the police can identify mafia, so this makes them more valuable. The doctor should always protect a police, since the police are a sure way to find the mafia, eventually. If you make it a war of attrition, but make the mafia do all the attrition, I truly feel that the townies can not lose.
msquared
Posted by Sopwith (Member # 4640) on :
Unless one of the mafia comes out and proclaims that they are a policeman as well...
Posted by msquared (Member # 4484) on :
Ah yes but that give the police and citizens an obvious target. A real police should still identify themselves and say that the other person is mafia.
When the police do not vote for lynching, and a citizen is killed, the person who put themselves forward as police is then identified as mafia and dies the next day. The police do not even have to check with the moderator about the guilt. All they have to do is look at any one who voted with the mafia. Again, for just one day two citizens are killed, but a mafia is put forth. The next round the mafia will be lynched.
Overall, I think this strategy leads to better chances for the citizens.
msquared
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
It's a very intriguing and clever plan. Trouble is, it only takes one townie who is unwilling to go along with it, or doesn't pay enough attention to realize not to vote. And sometimes there's no doc to save the cop(s). But the idea of lynching NO ONE the first day or two is great.
I can see some possible work-arounds for the mafia . . . but perhaps I'll save them for the next time I end up mafia.
Posted by msquared (Member # 4484) on :
The rules do change a little if there is no doctor.
My biggest problem is figuring out a way to let people know that the second and third cop are for real.
My basic premise is that the mafia need secrecy and quite. The more info that is out there the harder it is for them to work.
Of course this only works with citizens who are willing to die to protect the group; to help the group win. Such selfless sacrifice.
msquared
Posted by jeniwren (Member # 2002) on :
The other problem is that the mafia has voting power -- so they could choose to lynch anyway, making sure that it was a citizen they voted for. With the citizens abstaining, there would be nothing to stand in the mafia's way. Just a single vote would do it.
And btw...the doctor in this game has rules to the way he can choose a save. I restricted him to only being able to save a person once. Once chosen, he cannot choose that person again at a later date.
Posted by msquared (Member # 4484) on :
Jeni,
But the problem would be unless there was an idiot in the game the fact that they voted to lynch when every one else was not voting would make them a target.
I did not know about the save only once. That would put a small crimp in things.
I still feel that not lynching the first round or two is a good idea and lettinig every one know that if you vote then you are saying you are mafia would be enough to keep them from voting.
msquared
Posted by jeniwren (Member # 2002) on :
No one knew about that except the doctor.
Posted by Sopwith (Member # 4640) on :
Ahhh and in a small game, by none of the townsfolks voting for the first two days, you'll end up with five folks dead before the townies ever take a stab at it...
The mafia could just have two of their members vote to lynch, saving the rest for behind the scenes work.
Try again M2, you haven't beaten the system yet...
Posted by msquared (Member # 4484) on :
I don't know Sop. If the mafia vote to lynch someone on Day 1, one of their number gets lynched on Day 2.
Lets talk time line.
Day 1 a Citizen gets killed. No lynching by townies on day one.
Day 2 Possible lynching by townies from Day 1 and another Citizen dies by Mafia.
Day 3- repeat.
If all the townies agree(and the mafia have to act like townies or they become suspect) then only the one Citizen dies on Day One and one Citizen on Day 2. Any one arguing for lynching or who actually votes becomes suspicious, becuase early on with no info to go on, random lynching mainly helps the mafia by reducing the number of Citizens. If the townies make the mafia do all the work then the townies last longer.
Remember the lynching is not secret. People see who voted and who they voted for. If all the townies are told do not lynch on day one or wait until the cop says who is mafia, then the mafia can not use the lynch to get another townie with out exposing themselves.

Posted by Erik Slaine (Member # 5583) on :
I love all the conjecture in this, but how much application could we actually see. Just discussing a strategy openly allows others to look for the loopholes. These strategies are all well and good, but humans will surprise you. They don't act rationally.

Well SirReal is a townie and Damander is police. That leaves 4 and at least one of those, I think is a cop. Fugu is probably a townies since he was also a temp police. That leaves three AFR, Avadaru and Dead_Horse. Well does the other cop want to come out in the open? Damander should be able to use the process of elimination to let us know who the other two mafia are.

Ah, soon to be joined by hansenj...the two roommates were MAFIA! Go rivka with your suspicious self!!
Dang. I guess that means we won't have Erik for another 2 days. *sigh*
Posted by Damander (Member # 4439) on :
Since I said I wouldn't post on the other thread, unless, of course, it's entirely fluff....rivka, I did tell you hansenj's posting style changed, not that everyone's did. You had never seen mine as a citizen, only as police, so how would you know about mine. And the difference in hansenj's posting style is slight enough that I probably am the only one who truly can recognize it. I have lived with the girl for two years now.....
Dang, too bad jeniwren gave the police another guess. In a real live game of mafia the police guess before they find out the kill, during the night time. I think it would be a good change in rules for next time, jeniwren. And m2, you didn't flush the mafia out, we were opposed to it even before we became mafia. There are many others who are opposed to it and said so and you don't seem to be suspecting them...I can't stand when people think they are so clever.
(Wow, I really do get way too into this game. It's nothing personal to anyone playing, it's just all in good fun. But if you think I've taken things too far I truly am sorry.)
Now I'm just going to relax and watch how the game play out, and await the arrival of my wonderful roomie.

Posted by msquared (Member # 4484) on :
Troub and blackwolve,
What do you think of our strategy? Trying to get people to not lynch and then checking on those who voted? Over all I think it went very well. We seem to have gotten at least 6 mafia in only 6 or 7 lynchings. True, one lynching was headed by Rivka with out our confirming the mafia person, so we got lucky there, but over all I think it went very well. I think we only had two non-mafia responses.

Posted by Patsy (Member # 5699) on :
m2, I think next time, the object of the game is going to be a little different. I'm thinking that the object of the game will be for the policemen to make sure the mafia is lynched, and for the mafia to kill all the policemen. Once one side or the other is killed, the game is over.
And we may play on Troubadour's board, so I can have edit powers. I'd love to have a Halloween Haunted House themed game, but with my daughter having surgery, I can't do it then. So maybe early November.
Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :

Cecila,
Yeah right. If the mafia had not had two kills a day this week we would still have three more townies and the mafia would be dust by now. The mod felt sorry for you lame excuses for the mob. She thought she had the head of the Gambino family and all she got was a two bit enforcer.
Why would you guys hope that I would convince every one to abstain? You lost four mafia the first week? I have only played one other game, but I know in that one we were 3-4 days before the first mafia was brought down. If we had stayed at one mafia hit per day there is no way the mafia would even be close to winning this game.
Please give me the reasoning behind it.
msquared
Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
Actually, I was very surprised to see that abstaining was PERMITTED in this game. I proposed abstensions in the very first game I played -- in which I was Godfather, mind you -- because it seemed like such a blindingly obvious thing for the townies to do that I figured suggesting it and sticking with it (I never once voted for an innocent person, even though I was mafia) would make an excellent cover. Even though we lost two of our members to the serial killer -- by accident -- in the first two rounds, leaving us with all of three mafia against (IIRC) fifteen townies, we wound up winning.
In fact, the instant I saw msquared propose it, I was almost CERTAIN he was mafia -- although I must admit that his tone contributed to that, too.
Anyway, I'm a big fan of requiring that everyone has to vote for SOMEONE, every round. That's the single best house rule I can come up with, IMO.

As usual you were wrong about me. He thinks I am mafia when I am really police. Why wouldn't the police put forth this idea?

oh, it's a brilliant strategy that sucks all the fun out of the game.
i do hope you talk the next batch of townies into it.
Posted by Sopwith (Member # 4640) on :
I agree with Tom and I've played on both sides now. Everyone should be required to vote each day. Sorry but just trying to figure out how to mathematically win the game takes a lot of the fun out of it.
And isn't it supposed to be about fun?
That's why, even as a townie this time around, I voted each turn.

Posted by msquared (Member # 4484) on :
I can see one possiblity. If each mafia still alive voted for a different townie, then there would be a 5-6-7 way tie, depending on how may mafia there are. Going from what happened this time when there was a tie, (both people get lynched), then the mafia could wipe out that many citizens.
