If there is any Jail guys that would be great to nail down. Who did you protect night 1 T-Rex and why?

Cool. Anyone want to counterclaim? If there is another doctor, a Jailkeeper, or a back-up, T-Rex is lying.

Deceitful and black-hearted, perhaps we are. But we would never go against the Code. Well, perhaps for good reasons. But mostly never.
If I read the setup right, if there is a backup they might not know that they are backup yet. Also everyone should check in so nobody can say they missed a chance to counterclaim I think.

For the record, it doesn't work as great anymore because I had to reveal myself. But here goes.

There are seven us. A random lynching gave us a 1 in 7 chance of getting it correct. If the cop had revealed both themself and the the person they investigated then that number drops to 1 in 5. Which is better than 1 in 7. The doctor, myself, could quietly protect the cop from being killed each night.

In the event that today we tried to lynch the doctor, which we did, I could reveal myself and then the number of possible candidates drops to 1 in 4. We know that the mafia would kill me because that's the only way to eventually get to the cop. But next turn, the cop would have investigated someone else and then we're down to 1 in 3 with three remaining players we know who are 100% not the mafia. We lynch. IF we're wrong, the mafia kills the cop. But now we have a 50/50 shot of killing the mafia on the next turn. Just by pure chance.

1/2 > 1/7

Math

It's a strategy where we knowingly sacrifice ourselves for the greater good. Also, the situation above is literally the worst case scenario. If you guys didn't try to lynch me in the first round post-reveal then I can continue to protect the cop until the mafia gets lucky. And the mafia would be stuck between picking off the people he knows are town and trying to find me.

Again, it doesn't super work anymore. It also doesn't work if the cop decided to investigate Sebmojo since he was killed.

If the cop investigated Sebmojo, they should not reveal. Otherwise, they still could. It's just not as smart.

Hold on didn't you see my whole math post? If the cop revealed we had 3 instances where we couldn't win. The mafia played had a 1/6 chance of the doctor getting lynched, a 1/6 chance of just murdering the doctor or a 1/6 chance of murdering the guy the cop investigated.

Look back and see my post man. The math was already done.

Any of these results being hit will result iin the cop being killed before the last round and the last round being 3 people with no knowledge of who is who

Are you prepared as I break down the whole "Cop" reveal strategy. I'm not good at writing but I am good at math and stuff. QPQ do you want to comment on this as I trust you the most.


Round A: DOCTOR FORCED TO REVEAL (IF doctor is about to die, go to this plan)
7 people left
5 under suspicion (Revealed: cop, doctor)
#1 suspicios dies
mafia kills doctor
cop reveals foobar

5 people left
3 under suspicios (Revealed: Cop,foobar)
#1 dies
Mafia kills cop

3 people left
2 under suspicions (Revealed: foobar)



Very interesting! Ill come up with stats if we are with a Town Roleblocker next

It.. doesn't work out man. It's the more aggressive option for sure but it's a lame strategy.. Especially now that you revealed.

If the mafia kills the person the person the cop is investigating it still lowers the total number of people that could be mafia for us to lynch.

Under the reveal strategy
If the mafia doesn't kill me tonight and decides to kill someone else, there is a 100% chance they won't kill the cop. They can't. Even if the cop and the mafia aim for the same person, the number of people who could be the mafia goes down.

But I guess farting accusations into the wind is cool too

I want to hear other peoples opinions. I think if T-Rex is the doctor that we should be suspicious of QPQ. We should do the math to see if the cop should reveal next round too.

Only risk we have right now is T-Rex gets lynched (Doctor down) and then the mafia player gets the Cop...

There is another.. very risky.. strategy we could do. it assumes T-Rex is telling the truth.

i kinda wish Yronic would check in, since currently it seems we DO have a doctor/cop setup and not a jailkeeper (since at this point, couldn't that person claim their role and contradict trex?)

Like I guess I just wish we could hear from everyone before we make a choice, but I think we're running out of time

QPQ -- Is able to lead everyone
Yronic -- Constantly going after the easy target (ME), is acting like a new player but has 3 games under their belt, hardly every justifies their arguments

But both of my suspicions have problems

QPQ -- Is leading us yes, but leading us towards victory! Unless he and Byronic decided to run a "long con" I don't think has weight.
Yronic -- Well, I mean they are targeting me.

If we assume trex is telling the truth...would it work out, mathematically, to lynch someone who knows they're innocent/useless? And then have the cop reveal? We know the mafia would probably take out the doctor tonight, but that would narrow it down a whole lot, right?

if that works I volunteer for slaughter

if not i'll shut up b/c i'm still learning about this game :unsmith:

It depends on if the cop investigated Sebmojo. If the cop investigated literally anyone else then we know 3 out of the 7 remaining players are in the clear. and can work accordingly.

I believe T. rex because there hasn't been a counter claim. I really think someone should unvote.

I am getting suspicious of sitting here. Posts read like someone trying a little hard to sound town. Didn't vote for minus1. I suppose muffin could have hammered minus1 to stay above suspicion but doesn't read as scummy to me.

I believe Tranguy is low effort town.

Ex still seems scummy to me but I think I would switch my vote to sh. I assume ex will get investigated sooner or later if we have a cop, which we apparently do if we believe this is a cop/doc setup.

Like everyone i trust QPQ. Hard to believe they would sacrifice a scum bro so quickly.

There is a way out but it is a gamble. I'll roll the dice.

If T-rex is telling the truth he should know his next move, especially if he is the doctor.
If Muffin triggers T-Rex's death, then Muffin is mafia (I doubt it muffin is mafia.)

Unless it is scum running a Hail Mary and depending on inactivity, I don't see yronic or T-Rex as scum. I considered his original claim to be a desperation play, but the lack of any counter-claims makes me more comfortable. I'm still mad about him not providing any reads in the thread and getting angry every time someone accuses him of something.

I trust yronic because I don't see scum making a claim when they aren't under any pressure.

I'm leaning toward Sitting Here as a lynch if Thranguy really has been investigated and vindicated. Exmond's posts read to me like a new player getting the ropes. Muffin, while not hugely active today, struck me as trustworthy yesterday. His actions seemed logical and I could understand his thinking
