Boil the potatoes, mash the overlords and stick the grapefruit in the stew.

Well with 12 people at potentially 3 kills a day/night (lynch + 2 NKs), the Reload is probably going to happen by the second night.

Assuming the two agent cells don't know each other...

Town has a 1-in-12 chance of lynching Neo today.
Smith has a 1-in-10 chance of killing Neo (11 players after a lynch, less himself).
Partners have a 1-in-9 chance chance of killing Neo (11 players after a lynch, less themselves).

1/12 + 1/10 + 1/9 = 29.4% chance the Reload happens today/tonight. Odds are a bit harder to figure out for Day/Night 2 because you have to factor in potential outcomes like agents killing the same target tonight, or killing each other.

This looks like a 3-day game, MAYBE 4, TBH.

Hey I am here reading up

[Omtose]

OK all spam. That was easy. So I read the rules and think I might have a plan. To me it seems that we want to get to the relaod as soon as possible, with the most town alive possible. This makes Smith have a tougher time to convert all agents to himself as he will have more people. Basically everyone wants to know who Neo is Correct?

Smith wants to know, so he knows who to avoid to kill.
Town Wants to know, so they can Lynch him off and thus win for the town.

Am I right so far?

Am I wrong in assuming that Neo is part of the Town faction? I need to go back and Check. brb


edit: changed Plane to plan

Question for PS-

If one of the Killer partners is lynched or smith'd- can the other partner continue killing? or is that ability lost, like in ST's Card game we just played?

They will go their separate ways and the other partner will continue killing.

[Omtose]

ok, thanks. damn, well that kinda ruins that. Also, I just saw in the OP that alt's are reshuffled after the reload. That could make things really confusing

[Olar Ethil]

Omtose, I agree that we all want to know who Neo is, but the rules pretty much forbid anyone from revealing him, including a smart townie who "figured it out." That could make things really awkward later when we're trying to lynch him.

[D'riss]

What if it's a "smrt" villager like Homer Simpson?


I gotta say that was the most entertaining 1st page of mafia I've seen in a while.

The 'tater lords sound like a budding inside joke. It is certainly apealing. ha ha ha ha <cough>

Sorry.

[Omtose]

Well, my initial thought was to have everyone agree something like "If you are Neo place a vote on Omtose" At which point Neo could vote Omtose. Any inno, clearly wouldn't vote Omtose. Neo, as Town, would vote Omtose. That leave Smith and his 2 Lackeys. They might want to vote Omtose to mess us up/muddy the waters... but at that point they are outing themselves as Scum. SO the only ppl on the Omtose train would be Neo and Scum. Best case Scenario, we lynch Neo on Day 1 and go to the Reload. Worst case scenario, we go 1-2 days with NK's but get to take out 1-2 scum before the reload. At that point the Alts get mixed up and we need to find Neo one more time. What do you guys think. Am I missing something? Would that be a bad plan?

The other option would be to try to find Neo/Scum in the more traditional sense...but noting our usual success rate I am hesitant to go that route and the more people we incorrectly lynch/get NK'd... the easier it is for Smith to win come reload time.

Thoughts?

Neo is not allowed to reveal under any circumstances. This includes any subtle or not so subtle hints on who he is.
Member of Town are not allowed to reveal on Thread who Neo is, if they know it. They can pretend to speculate, but that is all.
If Neo or a knowledgeable townie reveals who Neo is, Innos lose automatically.

I don't know how your plan can possibly work with the stated rules, D'riss. Neo is basically 'revealing' by voting for your proxy.

[Omtose]

I don't see that as a violation of the rules at all... Scum can come on and vote, an inno could come on and vote... ( I don't see why they ever would) He is in no way revealing. He's placing a vote. I guess it's a question for PS. Clearly, that plan is bunk if it's considered a reveal.

[Serc]

I agree with Olar. Revealing is still revealing even if they don't come out and say it on thread, but do it by a different method.

Of course it will be considered a reveal. Because otherwise it breaks the game. And he is revealing, because he's doing an action that we are considering a reveal that he is neo.
