Don't see the point in posting about the "Lets all vote night" approach. That tactic is very rarely beneficial to the RIs. After all, the point of the game is a small team with an advantage in NAs, against the larger team, with an advantage in numbers who can lynch to win. Voting night 9 times is just going to mean the RI lose the majority.

It keeps us in the dark completely, since we'll get no information, and they'll get whatever information they get from NAs, so they have the information advantage too, so I dislike that reasoning aswell.

Voting night is just giving them the advantage, because that is where the small team has the advantage over the large in mafia.

So, suggesting a night vote seems to be stupid. Not really scummy, since I doubt anyone would hope that the innos would actually agree to it. Just some rather odd speculation, whcih seems not to have been thought through.

Except that in self-voting, while you may help the 'RIs at large' you are not helping yourself because you'll be lynched. All you're doing is putting your fate in the hands of the rest of the team!

edit: Was @ Ruse, didn't see the new page with the other reply

Out of curiosity, how could we possibly manage to lynch an Inquisitor? We can lynch whomever we want and unless I'm very much mistaken we would never kill an inquisitor, so in that regard we can hunt for the two factions with abandon.

I would guess that we wouldn't be able to lynch them. Though, if they only stop inquisition lynches, any lynch they stop is going to attract NAs anyhow.

So I reckon we'll probably see relatively few lynches.

which is sort of problematic. It's sort of counterproductive to make the RIs it's own faction with its own winning conditions when it seems we're not really able -unless there's a miracle- to win without being recruited.

Hmm hadnt considered that point about lynching inquisitors, good point. I doubt that theyd just save inquisitors though. Probably depends a bit on just how much info they get whether its just faction or a name/ability.

As ive said before, it does have the look of something they just tacked on at the end when they considered that some people might not actually get recruited :p

back for a bit.

I noticed that about the inquisition as well. Would draw atention for NK's.. but depending on how the CF is handled before/after the inquisition decision. i see no reason why the inquisition would let a lynch on their own team go through, i doubt they can recruit and their number is probably finite.

Today sucked. Tomorrow might be better. I am no help (and have 2 votes on me). Serc and Shadow are partners. More tomorrow. Evidence against Serc and Shadow tomorrow.

That was random, Fener.

I'm back, btw.

So, the Inquisition thing...I can't see it drawing votes, because the two factions also have to consider that it's one of their own. The Inquisition isn't going to necessarily let Night/Day Watch lynches go through either. Depends on how much each faction knows regards their own members. Plus, the Inquisition may not have power over their own team's lynches.

I think that, until we get a lynch through and a day/night cycle out of the way, we won't be sure where to go at all. GK's response was basically: innos are screwed, stop thinking about how to win 'cuz you can't.
Which is a piss-poor reply. The inno faction should always have an equivalent method of winning the game to any other faction. I'm not complaining about imbalance or anything, rather thinking that it's stupid to put in an inno VC if it's nigh-unattainable. Just outright state that we practically can't win and let us get on with it. XD

That being said, I still think the innos should play to win: we support the Inquisition as much as possible. Now, if there are 2 kills a night, and 2 recruits, that's going to make lynching any innos very bad. Because we don't want to thin our ranks too much elsewise the Inquisition won't make it to day 10. :S

Okay, I've read through the thread. It made about zero sense, but that's probably my own exhaustion talking. I tried reading it twice, and still just started going off into a daze. I'm going to be around the house tomorrow waiting for an appraiser to come around and belittle it's value, so I should be more active.

Anyone else around?

Meh. 3 anons now.

Listen, I'm all for the Fener hate, as that alt should be Hall of Famed and written off, but that Mockra/Kalse exchange on page one was weird.

I'm not just sitting here pressing F5 the entire time, as that would result in me sleeping within minutes. I'm voyaging throughout the forums.

Well yeah, but don't you still get listed below if it's tabbed? And if you're not tabbing... how odd.
