Mafia 42: Assassin in the Palace (The Play)

[Lady G]

Wait..I just had to go back and look at the rules, if the king dies then the assassin wins so there will be no, killing them after.

Nevermind, I read what Ice wrote wrong anyway...just went down to his post and re read it. DUH!

Let me re word this in a "blond moment" sort of way....

Ice, we all pick someone to "lynch", up to 4 players...if the assassin votes the king we would know who they are because they voted the king. Is that pretty much what you were saying?

This is tough for sure!! If anyone jumps all over someone for voting to lynch the King the King is outed and killed off by the assassin whether we lynch them or not. The only strategy at this point that won't out the King is to keep talking and wait for the assassin to slip up. Remember we are at an advantage here in numbers and in knowing who the King is.

If the assassin slips and votes or campaigns to get the king lynched they will be a gonner (well I guess the King would be a gonner as well). I would imagine the assassin in this game will lay back and not campaign for anybody. They will just ride any trains started by someone else I believe.

I have come to the conclusion that it will be very difficult to save the king this game unless we guards get lucky. The more rounds that tick by the better the odds are for the assassin. I already hate this game...lol.

That won't work. The assassin will just wait for someone to vote and jump on board. As I said before...it will be very tough to save the King.

It's a tough play for sure. I do think though, that as long as we pay close attention to the voting, the king should be in no danger of being "accidentally" lynched. I also think that if we don't take the chance (if it presents itself) to place the king under pretensive suspicion it could be make the identity more obvious. I have to agree with the previously stated Gahhhhh's. =)

It seems after 4 pages of chatting, the only thing we have to go on so far is gut instincts.

But then you have eliminated four players from the assassin's list of who could be King.

Also, it would take a really lucky guess at this point for the assassin to name the king. We can't rely on this.

Yeah, I think so to really...in this game I'm sure the assassin isn't going to put a vote out for anyone, just join in I agree.

True....maybe if we add the kings name to the list, and see who jumps on it? Of course then there are risks to that also..if no one else jumps on them, the assassin would instantly know. If more ppl jump on we have no idea which is the assassin and then if we lynch the ones whos names were on the king...well we run the risk of the assassin knowing what we were doing with that.

So, without a nightfall though..there really is no pressure to get votes out but at the same time, without votes out there we can't see what page each person is on? It is all darned if you do and darned if you don't kind of thing!!!!

OMG...sooooo DOUBLE GAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

wow! This is confusing! I am at a total loss as how to figure out how to find/lynch the assassin without giving away the king. Just reading over every thing again, I notice that we have not heard from Mal yet....

 

[noodles62]

the only problem with all this chatter about what to do is also seen by the assassin! This is tough with no communicating guards! I better read the rules again to make sure I have it right in my head.........
