That person who just replaced in:
FoU:
[2] I would complain about your insults, but honestly you're completely right. I'm terrible at mafia daygaming and if you really were in games with me, you'd know that. I rely on the night game and cunning gambits to get anything done. Half the time that fails completely too, though.
I'll take this and run with it. You're bad with the day game, but are good with the night game.
Hypothetical: Everyone was really boring and picked low on the shenanagain scale, giving us a mostly vanilla game. Your role gets you a double action, and every night you have both a protect and a roleblock. You live to use it successfully each night, without being blocked, redirected, etc. 16 players, so we'll say there are two nightkillers.
What chances do you give yourself of successfully blocking a bad role on each of the first three nights, and protecting a townie?
How do you choose your targets, with your self-admittedly terrible day game?
Well, uh. I choose one player to keep safe and one player to stop from doing everything every night. Thing is, there's more hostile actions than just night kills. Stopping kills on townies is the most important thing, but secondarily stopping any action performed by an anti-town player would be nice. So I should be looser with the roleblock, because it only costs town one action if it misses (town commits much more actions than the mafia) and costs one mafia action if it hits (mafia doesn't have many actions to spare to begin with). As for protection, I need to choose the most valuable / obviously town player. Something like a mayor or whatever.
But is this really a useful question?
Actually no.
RVS is already over, as someone else said a while back. It's an interesting question, but it doesn't actually... gain you much, you know? Why not just.. ask something related to the current wagons?
That said, it's understandable since you just replaced in anyways.
I've got my eye on you anyways, though.
I think it does gain me stuff. For example, I now know that you don't believe that you can get anything useful done in the night game. I suppose this leaves such "cunning gambits" as threatening people with fries and making yourself a target.
One of the bandwagon targets, even.
Who I seem to be questioning.
Which seems related to a current wagon to me.
And you didn't even answer it. I want to know how you'll know how to use your abilities, in this case by finding the "something like a mayor" to protect, when you're relying on the night game and gambits. But by now you've answered it well enough I think: People who draw your ire by attacking you get hit with soggy fries.
The other half is that I've spent months occasionally wondering what success rates people have with cop and doc abilities and a starter question seemed a perfect time to ask.
IcyT:I still find it strange that two contracts have been sent though. Usually you can only use an ability once per phase, but I wouldn't put it past the mafia to coordinate something funky.
I'm more concerned that it seems to be a double-targeting killing ability. I think the sender is more likely an SK than mafia, actually.
[/quote]Explain the SK reasoning please. I read the posted options and think of an investigator or role-block, with a possible ability graft or killing as a fall-back option.
Jim: I asked you a question too, on why you would rather hammer an end a productive D1 instead of lurking.
Luckyowl, I don't even think you're scum particularly, but you responded to me and still haven't answered any my questions.
