Pick your power [Concluded]

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm still surprised anyone would think I'd lynch my own partner, day one, in a game this small with trackers and cops around.

For the record, and just so everyone knows: I would never lynch my own mafia partner on day one, because there is no upside for me in particular. It buys me exactly zero credibility. If it didn't end up sparing Beskar completely from my suspicions, and I think my reputation is at least as ruthless than his, then it certainly won't spare me from yours. More likely I'd attempt to save my partner because my big suspicious butt is going to end up dead eventually, and I need someone from my team to be able to survive after I'm gone. Rarely, if ever, would I lynch my own partner at any time. What I MIGHT do is make a big show of defending someone else so that when I do die, you think they are guilty. That's more plausible.

You almost expect the mafia to vote for each other at this point. It's like an unwritten rule. Better is to fall into whichever category is the largest: those who didn't vote for your partner, those who didn't vote at all, or those who did vote for your partner. Whichever is the largest gives you the least differentiation from the group and is therefore the easiest to hide in. If there's 20 people voting for someone, chances are, you will find at least one mafia in there blending in. Granted, here you have the added bonus of it was actually Beskar's vote that finished his own partner and was the deciding vote, which is more unusual, but mafia still do that if they are exceedingly ruthless. It's not unheard of. (See: Sasaki when he's at mafiascum, or so I've heard ) And you'll note Arpeg still scanned Beskar here, so.... yeah. It's expected of me that I would do that, and yet it is still so wrong. It spared me not from the scan, it spared Beskar not from the scan. We were both scanned up and down. It's not a tactic that should be expected to gain much in return, because over and over again you will find out it proves nothing, and history shows it isn't a reliable indicator at all, especially when the players involved aren't new.

I'm not saying it is a bad strategy.... it often works, even though the trick is getting older than dirt at this point. But I think it is wearing out its welcome and is being sniffed out more.

Fun game

If only they hadn't killed me, eh?

Even so, just watching the game from the sidelines was hilarious, especially with an ending like that. Kudos, CDF and Pizza. And a "woop woop" for the townies.


Edit: So yeah, thanks Sasaki

Mmm, yes, thanks very much for organizing this game Sasaki.

A very close game, in spite of all our efforts. Inactives plus that still-brilliant suicide bombing/lynch cop move and then all the WOGs made this one a nail-biter.

Good game Pizza, all three mafia under your belt

Also, Beskar was practically revealing to the world that he was the double voter by being the only guy voting for someone and having 2 votes on said individual

Blah, I missed the game completely. My apologies to all the players and to Sasaki for my inactivity. I moved to a new appartment and we just got the Internet connection, and I didn't bother much with getting on another connection in the last five days, as I was very busy.

Good job town, I wished I had helped.

Being active enough not to get WOG'ed is apparently all we needed.

See? Without you we would have lost outright.
