Yeah this one is a bit different it seems... looks like the mafia can murder us. Unless Blackadder says otherwise.

[Cronos Impera]

Is this the day or night phase?

[Greyblades]

Well we are voting, so its the day phase.

[Caius]

Sorry people yesterday I got as a Spanish gift Civ 4. Besides, I left and half hour later the game started. Sorry.

I remember Omanes mini mafia and this is what we need to do. Everyone investigates the first one, and the first votes the second. Everyone investigates the second, except the second, who investigates the third. If we do not get killed, then we will have to post our results. We will rule out who is the cop who gets all guilty, all innocent, and so on. You have to trust this method.

Vote: Abstain

I'd not trust YLC, but I need more time to say something else.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I don't trust this method. I prefer to get two shots at destroying the mafia, with the mafia taking out one of us to make it even easier, and if they don't, we no lynch/investigate ad infinitum until they do.

Greyblades, Cronos, vote.

If Caius goes, I don't have to vote for either one of you.

[Caius]

So we get killed? That changes the thing. Changes are good.

[Greyblades]

Well I said we should lynch the guy who lurks, seeing as he's only posted once and sounded allmost impatient for the round to be over. vote: cronos

[Askthepizzaguy]

Cronos works for me, actually. He posted and didn't vote after asking a question. Has he played mafia before? I don't remember.

unvote, vote: Cronos Impera

At least Caius is trying.

[Caius]

I still want to know what YLC have to say.

[ULC]

I still want to know what YLC have to say.

I really don't have much to say

[Caius]

He posted and didn't vote after asking a question. Has he played mafia before? I don't remember.

He did, but he was WoG'ed several times AFAIK.

[Captain Blackadder]

Ok Voting is closed prepare for write up

[Captain Blackadder]

John McClane (Cronos) is brought before the rest of the detectives. He glares at them whispering various things under his breath about how this whole thing is an exercise in futility and how we should wait for the results to get back in before trying anything.

The other police look at him and shake their heads. Nicholas Angel walks up to him and says "John McClane you have broken every rule in the book. You are a disgrace to the Police Service. Get out now. John turns and walks away as he is leaving he makes a sudden and dramatic leap through the glass window and into the room where the evidence his he tries to burn it with his lighter but it fails which causes him to yell loudly Yippee ki-yay, . The entire collected group of detectives just stares at him shaking their heads and tackle him to the ground and place him under arrest.

POLICE WIN


Congrats to everyone and once again the first round lynch shows its worth. If people wish I could give out the roles again or you can accept this quick victory.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Sweet. Never lurk as mafia, or I'll kills ya. Nicely done, fellers.

[Greyblades]

That was quick. Allright my first win!

[ULC]

Wow, probability, on the towns side

[Askthepizzaguy]

I did say it was better to attempt to kill the mafia on the first day, didn't I?

A couple of bullets, properly aimed of course, are better than any kind of bizarre strategy involving our confusing detective powers. Remember that any mafia game, no matter how strange, is usually won by lynching someone and that you never really have all the answers, so.... pick!

[Caius]

Congratulations everyone. I felt for sure that you would try to find out the mole using the investigations but you didn't whilst there is a way to almost make sure a win for town you won easily. Good Work I might do another one of these some time in the future.

[ULC]

LOL, So I was the real cop in this whole thing?

[Captain Blackadder]

LOL, So I was the real cop in this whole thing?

Yep you and Greyblades were the important ones

[Askthepizzaguy]

Ok what was the "real" solution?

[Captain Blackadder]

Firstly you vote no lynch for round one you get everyone to investigate the person to their left. You post the infomation you get then you vote no lynch again and investigate the next link in the chain. You are now down to the final three. The chances are that you will now now which kind of cop you are and either the normal or insane cop would have investigated the mole. And now you can lynch said person and win. The only spanner in this work can be if the mafia manage to kill the insane cop and pretend to be that. If you do that you should have a better chance of getting the mole above 50% with only a few different outcomes changing the game. So as I said before it is not a sure win but you can almost make it so.

[Askthepizzaguy]

How about this:

You lynch, round one. that's 1 out of 4 suspects down.
Mafia murders round one. That's 2 out of 4 suspects down.
You lynch, round two. That's 3 out of 4 suspects down.

That's a 75% chance of winning, because the mafia has to assist you in picking the correct one. From a player's perspective, he's never a suspect, so that's a freebie.

[autolycus]

Your math is off, Atpg. First round you have a 1 in 4, second round, is a three in four(that you didn't win first round) times a 1 in 2 that you choose accurately in that round. This totals to a 5 in 8 chance, not a 75%.

[Askthepizzaguy]

If that's the case, then my bad. The thing is that you generally want to leave alone a thread that's been inactive since may of last year; May have worked to just PM me about this.

No harm done, but they frown on what they call thread necromancy. This game is long dead, not unlike my handsome avatar.

[Thermal]

Simliar to double A game at the twc, that was good

[Double A]

Yeah

In, I want to see what it's like to be on the receiving end
