Mafia 9: The Bloody Coup

[charlie_stubbs]

i think its reasonable to believe a newb is not the president. i say this because ice mentioned how, although roles are random, sometimes a mod will tweak things for the good of BOTH teams. i believe if emma for example was president, ice might change this.

Alright this is really weak but it is the best case I have been able to make so far. I am eager to hear Sovran's response.

This is my 3rd - should be fun!

what are pump up jams?

Innocuous chatter...

I'll be watching those that posted early and then take a long time to post again very closely.

Wait a minute - how can we be "led" to lynch the President if no one knows who he/she is? And if the baddies do know, then the game is over. Have I got the wrong end of the stick here?

I'm not sure but this seems like one of those "duh I don't get it?!" type of posts. Something to sound like they are in the game but at the same time no real substance added to the discussion.

:rofl: lol - hmmmm good slip up Mee-mee. Freudian Slip?

A very jokingly light finger point and/or accusation of mee-mee.

Just so everyone knows - I plan on remaining visible - I have a hard time remembering to go and change the visible to invisible. If it seems I am lurking, maybe I am, maybe I just forgot to turn off the computer.
THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT> We were recommended to go invisible, it doesn't hurt anything to browse other threads and post elsewhere invisible. Why would Sovran need to be switching back and forth so much that they might forget??? Maybe for when they are talking in private? That is the only reason I could see for the concern.
I am going to find a tutorial that will let me do the multiple quote thing, and then tomorrow will practice my new skills.

Until then - Good night.

I still dont have it - I hit the multiquote and nothing happens

it starts out white - when i click on it it turns blue, and still nothing happens. sorry - i hit send too soon. I have a feeling i had better get an outsider to help - lol. Talk about being out of the swing - I haven't the faintest clue when it comes to these things!

white

I think I got it! Thanks Mee-Mee! You are a love.

Now - if this manages to stay in my head until tomorrow - I will be well on my way! Lol - thanks for all your help - sleep well, and stay alert!

Ends with a lesson on using multiquote. This might be the only reason I would learn CC on Sovran, because if they were a Rebel why would they be needing to use multiquote a lot.

For Now: I vote to lynch Sovran.

JohnLarson66 has put out the idea of voting to lynch 'nobody,' and a couple of folks have jumped on board. Here's why I think it may hurt the concerned citizens.

- The game is currently at 10 vs. 10. To win, the citizens need to lynch 10 rebels...lynching 'nobody' ensures that we won't lynch a citizen, but it also ensures that we won't lynch a rebel, either. Currently citizens have a 50% chance of randomly lynching a rebel.

- A rebel hit will go thru tonight. Rebels have a 5/15 (33%) chance of hitting the other rebel team, and 10/15 (67%) chance of hitting a citizen. Chances are that we will lose a citizen to a rebel hit tonight.

Citizens have a 50% chance to hit the rebels tonight; rebels have 67% chance to hit citizens (7% chance of pegging the president). In mafia, the bad guys always have a greater chance of hitting the good guys. This usually isn't problematic, as the good guys usually greatly outnumber the bad guys. That's not the case here; number of good guys equals the number of bad guys.

Technically we're already in a race to the finish with the rebels, and IMO, they have already have the advantage....they've got equal numbers, and 6 investigations between the two teams (and they can end the game with one hit).

While lynching correctly is important, citizens will need to play agressively (not rashly, though) to win the game. A conservative approach is likely to leave the citizenry sitting ducks for the rebels. There's always going to be the chance that we'll lynch a citizen (or even worse, the president), but I don't think we can let that deter us from lynching someone tonight. We NEED to play smart and aggressively at the same time.

Mad, thanks for your input. I am not for voting for nobody, I wanted to talk about it. I casted a vote, plus I have always been against voting for nobody. Like I have said, this game is a little different.

I agree that voting for nobody is not good. I just wanted to discus it.

 

[ZSandmann]

Z, i have not voted

That was a vote placed against you not a vote by you.

i was also suspicious of this. when i was mafia i switched to invisible and back. once you have switched to invisible, there is no need to switch back, unless your trying not to look suspicious

i disagree. a rebel might want to use mutiquote when trying to cast doubt upon the innocent.

 

[charlie_stubbs]

Sovran you have been accused of rebel activity. How do you plea???

 

[IceH2O]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if rebel team A puts in a hit for 'Gillboy7,' then 'Scaleface' shows up dead (AND team A has their nightly investigation rejected because their hit went through), team A will know that 'Gillboy7' IS the president. Right?

In that case neither team will get an investigation completed.

It is something I did overlook and I thank you for bringing it up.

Wow. I forgot about the fact that they will know once they find out their investigation didn't go through. Hopefully this won't happen or if it does, the doctor finds out who the prez is quickly...

Oh Ice explained it nevermind
