DG’s plan is imo too risky, I don’t like taking risks. As you’re saying too much costs involved. Interesting idea to suggest the concept though, I respect that DG. I have a feeling this game will be a fun one. Fragmented sentences everywhere!
The issue here is that somebody can counterclaim and with no reliable way of determining who is who outside of an investigation, the medic might be protecting potential scum.
I mean, if the mafia claims to be SWBeta to throw off the medic, then when the real <SWBeta> comes out, that scum is toast. So I don’t see how the mafia could benefit from that? The only way it may backfire is if the mafia manages to kill the medic within the first 2 nights, and then kills <SWBeta> before night 3. That said I’m not really convinced that it’s likely that <SWBeta> dies before night 3 anyway. that’s 3 lynches and 3 kills (assuming the vigi doesn’t kill people) so if all the kills were randomized, that’s 6/30 chance of him dying. It’s higher when you factor in that mafia won’t kill themselves, and can potentially steer lynches.
But if we go with the other option, the “witness protection program” then they first have to guess on the <Icege> role, and then also after that find the time to kill the <SWBeta> role. That’s 2 nights to get done what would otherwise take 1. It really does increase the odds of getting that <kaz> name.
(are these <> annoying you yet? Because it’s just gonna get a whole lot worse as the game goes on!)
They could simply have Bious claim SWBeta since it’ll still be throwing the town for a loop and they won’t lose any of their power roles that way. Kind of a sacrificial lamb style to play and I doubt it’s what they’re gonna do but that’s always a possible route.
Also what is it with this board and day 1 lynches? Nothing good could really come from them and we have almost nothing to work with anyway. We’re at our most numbers but the chance of mislynching are also at its highest.
That aside, you do make a point. And unless maf goes with the above route there’s a good chance Beta won’t go countered.
Timeline:
-DG proposes plan
-PW says it’s risky
-You oppose it and all plans that require coordination between several players
-I point out both a pro and con of the plan
-You say that you don’t think the plan will work regardless of how simple it is
-MP clarifies that the enforcer role cannot prevent passive abilities like <Beta>
-Blindknagg says the only way it can backfire for sure is if the Mafia kills <Icege> but he is unsure on whether or not to go through with the plan
-You post the above
I see one person opposing a supporter of the plan with one good point that was revoked, not the group pointing to two holes in my reasoning. If there are multiple people (i.e. “group”) that have brought up holes in DG’s plan then please quote them. Until you do I’ll leave this little number here: Lynch: pietastic
Yep, the Marvel game was the only game I got Mafia. You also have only drawn Mafia once, so keep that in mind before making any assertions.
I’m RCing Mafia? I guess I kinda am, but I asked Alpha to make this because it was a game about the SRK Mafia players, there wasn’t supposed to be a connotation of Mafia
If I looked bad pregame and pulled Mafia I wouldn’t even be mad. I have been waiting for nearly ten games to get Mafia again, but I get the same damn PM every time
I don’t consider you & PW not changing your avatars to be a role claim FYI
Well, it’d probably be Missing Person and Alpha since they posted in the thread first.
I’m not the BIGGEST fan of the move just because if the Mafia does get lucky and manages to find the Medic in time to hit SWB, we just lost TWO roles out of it, whereas their biggest risk is losing an essentially roleless Mafia member. Hell, they could even use the Mafia member that would be exposed as the fraud SWB so their only loss is a guy they were going to lose anyway.
So we stand to lose too much by having <SWB> role claim? And I’m not saying the cost is too high, I’m saying the opposite. If the plan goes south, we only lose <Beta>
Answer another question for me. If you were The Chief how would you play the current situation?
