Well, despite claims of randomness and foolishness, it is all we have to go on. If everyone votes no one, it is really like just having a super extended day one.

Until people commit, we can't find the hints needed later.

Even more so in a 20 person player game with undefined definitions of innocent to evil ratios.

So for those of you who have played this type of game before what is likely number of terrorists in a 17 player game?
 
Poutine is a regional dish in a very big country

I could sell fried cods tongues and Newfoundland Screech but the market study wasn't favouable.

When I think Canada, I think poutine!

Well that and Lover Boy.

Why did you quote a post that says 20 players then ask about a 17 player game?

From your post I'd say 16 innocents vs 3 terrorists + 1 sniper.

20 players usually a 3 to 1 split with 4 already mafia and 1 to be turned to make it 5 would fit the bill.

I retract my vote on Cap and vote to lynch Chill
 
The terrorist can probably read and count. I'm not sure how my inability to do either makes me guilty but thanks for the response. It seems 4 is your answer to either 17 or 20 anyway.

Wow! Ice, you came up with those figures pretty fast...2 minutes to be exact. Makes me seriously wonder about you.

The only way I could see you say 17 players is because thats how many innocents you'd need to kill to win. There are 20 ppl in this game according to the list and the post you quoted. But you said 17 like you know there are 3 ppl on your team right now.

How long should it take to do simple math? Most every game is 3 to 1 odds. If Chill claims 3 on his team right now the other numbers fall into place pretty easily.
 
I fugured it was an OMGUS for the past few games.

Nah, it was just to get you talking ;)

Guess you're his next suspect

This has been the best exchange so far.

RE Ice: There really isn't a set number for the bad guys, but it's generally accepted as about 1/4 to 1/5 of the players are bad... depending on other power roles. So 4 (including the unknown sniper) isn't a terrible figure. However, we do have a pretty powerful good guy contingent as well. Also, the bad guys get a turn tonight... right?

RE Chill: Why ask this question? Coming from just about anyone, this would almost certainly be a bad guy trying to throw us off the trail. "Hey look, how can I be the bad guy, I don't even know how many there are."

RE Ice: On the other hand, why even answer this question. We don't know, we weren't told by the ref, so it could be almost anything from 2 to 12. Just giving a figure on this could be construed as a bad guy. "Hey look, I can't be the bad guy cause I said there should be 4 and there's 5."

This is the best stuff so far and as soon as Zsand pops in, I'll probably switch my vote to one of these two.
