obvious fake flip

While Jamuraan was said to be only cop and not cop town. But I really don't want another goddamn game with useless flips

also I flip out like this all the time, it's like my consistent gimmick to freak out in day 1. If you don't see five hundred posts from me if I'm being lynched, then you're killing a sleeping man.

Anyway, I disgress. I think I'm a bit too biased to have anything to say about TMM/TNL's argument. I'm inclined to agree with TNL but ya know, I don't want to die too. Unfortunately people aren't posting so I can't scumread much.

I actually went through and crunched the numbers. Assume 4 or 5 scum with one serial killer the numbers don't really change - a random lynching is 6% advantage to town and 7% to the mafia. TMMadman is objectively correct, not lynching the first day leads to an advantage to the town.

The mafia always has an advantage, because the town has to eliminate all of the mafia but the mafia only have to eliminate most of the town. Random lynchings first day will usually work in their favor.

That said, the numbers have changed today to 9% advantage to the town and 8% advantage to the mafia lynching someone at random.

I'd also vote Moritz after that post. Waffling, over explaining his absence at end of day (like it matters that you're executing a sleeping man), and then half heartedly leaning towards TNL and further explaining he simply doesn't want to stick his neck out.

And

Why did you post a bunch of math I couldn't parse in order to defend a point by TMM that many consider to be objectively wrong?

Lynches aren't random and even a town flip still benefits the town, because a player who the town thought was suspicious is eliminated from the suspect pool, instead of lingering as a suspicion target for later days. You even demonstrate this by voting the same guy we could have flipped yesterday.

I explained why I voted Moritz. It's mathematically advantageous to eliminate someone, and he seems the most likely person to be offed.

I didn't even post math, only the conclusions. If you can't compare 6 to 7 that's not my problem. He was objectively right, and the math bears that out. Granted, we're talking a single percentage point, so unless you're playing 100 similar games it's a wash, but still technically correct.

Oh OK. It's weird you'd think that.

Actually it's not really that weird.

Because I 'told' my mason partner, Added Space, that I was a Serial Killer (When in fact I'm just a plain old Vanilla Town Mason)

Then he revealed to me he is scum, and to his credit he has not revealed who his scumbros are.
But yeah I asked him to ask his scumbros who I should 'murder' last night and it turned out to be Jamuraan (I didn't read D1 so I'm assuming he slipped that he was Cop)

Luck of the draw was Jam ended up being murdered last night, I asked him directly who the scum team was so I didn't end up 'killing them' and again to his credit did not reveal who they were.

I'm not going to copy+paste the PMs we sent, because he's new and I'd like to see him argue out of this..

There's a man that was advocating for my defence, you think I'm gonna nod and say YEAH TNL IS RIGHT, YOU SHOULD HAD KILLED ME.

The fact that Infinitum isn't making a big bombast case is quite odd though. I want him to post more.

However I'm happy to take a lynch to prove my innocence, and you've played enough games with me to know I'd never ever reveal I was an SK to anyone so you know this is a comedy gambit that paid off.

He called himself the serial killer. I wanted to test it, maybe knock out a mafia and then claim the next day "Ha ha, tricked you!" and reveal to the thread.

The serial killer wants to eliminate the mafia first; it's the only path for him to win. He wanted to play me to try to get names. If I can't tell him what the names are he just kills me to keep me quiet; so I have to string him along.

Which is exactly what I freakin' did. I'd understand him killing this night for not telling him, but this outburst makes no sense.

We were unconfirmed masons. I didn't know if he was scum or not. I tell him to kill someone, that person survives to tomorrow, Inf and I have a good laugh and we're pretty much clear on both being town. If he's the SK, I play along and maybe hit a jackpot. If he's scum, then he's just messing with me because he knows I'm not scum and so I have a good time playing along.

And if he's town and messing with me then he's an rear end in a top hat, which is hardly surprising in this forum.
