man, i'm trying. i like solid evidence so this is a bit of a pickle for me.

that said, i don't think pmush is scum, so i won't be voting for her.

Well I think Taste kind of likes no lynches on D1 (is that right Taste) but if we actually wanna kill someone we've got what, under four hours? Still plenty of time but people have to make sure to be around as we approach the deadline.

You know, I wasn't going to react to your vote on me, but this kind of baited me into it:

Poison Mushroom posted:

I believe in each of the votes I've made, and would follow through on any of them, but I don't realistically expect any of them to actually become the majority.

Really? You believe in the vote you put on me? A day 1 vote on a guy who has never played Mafia before based on the fact that I used the same 'joke' twice and maybe I was trying to hard to 'fit in'?

I was actually planning to use the three strike system throughout the entire game, even though there will probably be only one 'real' reason and two random ones. Just because I have a football avatar, doesn't mean I don't also like baseball too and I've been watching it a bit more lately.

While I knew that things I said/did on D1 could come back to bite me in the rear end, I thought I'd get at least one day, maybe two before poo poo actually started getting thrown my way. Sure people might harbor suspicions, but they wouldn't actually attack me until I was a little steadier on my feet.

Yeah, but town can't win without lynching. D1 no lynch I think is net negative for the town overall in games without a bunch of powers.

Daisy the premise of mafia is that town is the uninformed majority vs the scum who is the informed minority. Town can really only win by getting information that we don't currently have. We can get that information from other players dying and us learning their alignment.

I bet a small part of it is gleaning this kind of information and a big part of it is just random chance. Irl I feel like it'd be easier to read people than over text but in these games it's so hard.

Right now there's let's say 4 scum out of 16. So 25% to hit a scum.
-If we fail, 4 scum out of 14. So 28.6% chance to hit a scum.
-If we succeed, 3 scum out of 14. So 21.4% chance to hit a scum.
etc etc

The odds are against hitting in any one lynch, but we only have to hit 4 times over the course of the game to win.

Is Pmom doing graduate studies in math or something else. What's the chances of winning just by voting at random? Probably not too bad

If he's scum and we have no vig, that will never happen. If he's not scum, I can't see many scenarios where he would be one of the first choices for them to kill.

Also, his post about how other people need to stop adding noise to the thread was an example of a truly bad post that had no place coming from him. He was faking outrage or something. Read it again.

Exakt has like five posts, but since three of them are ridiculous pushes for people to vote you I can understand your irritation. So he has a small fraction of the bullshit.

HiipFire seems to be at about 50/50 for jokeposts/content, but the jokeposts have tapered off and he actually making arguments and using rationality at this point. Like,

HiipFire posted:

imo people either make jokevotes D1 or they make up some convoluted/made up reason so they can look like they're scumhunting
