I think the cucu strat is a good one. Investigate preference order DB Rf Kumba or myself TMM DB for strat Group for potential 3 fascist policies passed TMM is gut

King Burgundy posted:Yeah. It is too early to say for sure, until we see more cards, but I'm a bit weirded out by Byers/Andy at this point. I could be mistaken, but I could have sworn they were both experienced players, and the strategies I've been reading up on while I'm waiting for people to post haven't jived with the way they played so far. For example, we had the talk about if you get two liberal policies as the pres, should you pass them both on, and this link: https://secrethitler.tartanllama.xyz/#strategy-overview seems to say that you should almost always pass the choice on to the chancellor, unless you are behind and it is near end game. I've played five to ten games so far IRL and my strategy has always been to vote no on any government containing my top picks for fascist. I can't see TMM's kumba play as making sense from my perspective, so barring anything else thus far he's the one person I'd vote against. At this point, if I had an investigation I'd use it on him. I don't agree with a lot of the strategy online for this (or any) party game; it's mostly game theory for a social games written by spergs with low social skills.

King Burgundy posted:Chain investigations are apparently bad at this player count. So we want to avoid me investigating whoever we think is going to get the next fascist policy. This is still a good point, though, I'd push out past the next two presidents just in general based on the PMush plan.

This despite the fact that a bunch of other people easily followed my logic and reasoning. My problem here is that you seemingly refused to even consider that kumba is going to be up for election at what could be a critical time and you just don't seem interested in figuring out his alignment before that time. Remember, we can't even make a gut judgement call because he wasn't even given a choice as Chancellor.

PMush Perfect posted:Byers, can you explain why the idea that kumba could be an Important President and acting on that idea is incorrect? The original argument by TMM wss to get both investigation before kumba and have him double up. That plan required near perfect setup, but even after that was pointed out he continued skipping earlier Presidents to focus on kumba. Like I said before, focusing on kumba over others before him delayed the time that investigation would be useful. Then he laid an ultimatum of not voting in a kumba government without an investigation, with no justification for it. If the argument was to add to the CPig/RF/DB suggestions, that's one thing. But that focus on kumba feels like TMM is trying to force something.

And it's not at all the same to your laser focus on kumba specifically.

I don't believe you can accurately extrapolate more than 2-3 Presidents ahead in this game; every time I've seen people try, their guesses end up wrong. Different policies, failed governments, a lot can throw off the timing. So better to make decisions based on the next 2 to 3 candidates and your gut reads. And once again, kumba having a choiceless Chancellor time is a null read, putting him in the same category as everyone else who has not been in government. But you're ignoring them to focus on him. It makes no sense.

Then he laid an ultimatum of not voting in a kumba government without an investigation, with no justification for it. I feel like this is a misrepresentation of my argument. I was focused on kumba because I realized that he will be up for President at what could be a very dangerous time and because he was not actually given choice as Chancellor. I've posted various scenarios both positive and negative that show that his spot in the election order is going to come at a pivotal time. I don't understand how you aren't at least acknowledging that fact. I didn't want kumba to get doubled up but I felt that if things went wrong prior to his Presidency that we could double him up if he was investigated first. As it stands now, he is probably more likely to be the one who gets to enact the special election, so I still think it would be real nice to know his alignment.

For what it's worth, what I've taken from this conversation thus far is I should probably be investigating RF. He seems like the closest to a consensus choice between the various possibilities. If I was submitting right now, that is who it would be. Seems to hit the sweet spot of nearish president, potential lynch pin president, probably won't be the 2nd person with the investigation. So feel free to continue to post and sway me off that choice if you have a stronger candidate.

I would probably let an uninvestigated kumba be President if we're at 4S1F when it's his turn, but I don't think I'd want to elect kumba is we're at 3S2F or 2S3F because I'm not sure I'd trust him with the executive power.

Remember, RF will be the first person to use a reshuffled deck unless we purposely go through 2 chaos government pulls after the CPig government but before the next one. Right now there are 3 liberal cards out of 8 which means that CPig has something like an 80% chance of getting one of them. And then if he only picks one liberal card then DB would have 2 liberal cards left out of 5.

I mean, if that actually happens, then we are in pretty good shape with 4 liberal policies passed and only 1 fascist and we have RF investigate someone that isn't me so it isn't a chain investigation. More likely, either we've already had fascists in power and the card count isn't what we think it is, or they will be in power over the next two goes and even if they get liberal cards, the policies might not pass. I think it is one of the safer bets personally after this discussion. And it covers the extreme scenario of the next two passes being fascist.

Also we can use the investigation target as the Chancellor to the one of the next two presidencies (provided it's a liberal result) to help try to get liberal policies enacted.

CapnAndy posted:Chancellors have a hard time lying about that, though -- I know you didn't. Unless PMush/whoever (that was the first president/chancellor team, right?) are both fascists, we can trust that the chancellor did indeed get one fascist and one liberal card the first time around. And the odds that PMush and myself are both fascists are pretty bad. right, but PMush could have thrown out a liberal card and lied about it without the chancellor coming into the equation at all. same with you but yes i agree, investigate someone already

I think we have to assume there is at least 1 liberal card left in the deck as I would assume the chances of PMush/CapnAndy/KB all being fascist AND all pulling an extra liberal card are astronomical. If the count is wrong, then it's probably one of Pmush or KB. I mean I guess CapnAndy could have picked 3 liberal cards but I think that's unlikely.

Yeah. I think Cap is a fascist, but it would be super weird for him to have gotten 3 liberal cards. From my perspective if the count is wrong it would most likely fall on Pmush, but Pmush seems completely reasonable to me this game so far. So I'm pretty sure Pig's administration will get a liberal card. And if he just gets one, then DB's admin will also get one based on odds. But just because they will be getting the cards, doesn't mean their admins will pass those.

But the thing is that liberals can force it to happen or force a fascist President to give themselves away by being careful about the Chancellor. If we use the investigated person as a chancellor for one of the next two presidencies then we can be sure one liberal policy will get enacted. And if we can figure out a 2nd person to use as a chancellor then we can somewhat assured that they will make the right choice.

Went through today to see if everyone has commented on RF as a pick: CapitalistPig - Good Dick Bastardly - Prefers Kumba but fine with RF Retro Futurist - Good kumba - Good Anomalous Amalgam - Prefers DB but fine with RF TMMadman - Prefers Kumba Byers2142 - Can be inferred that fine with RF("Push out past the next two presidents") PMush Perfect - last comment was alright with DB CapnAndy - Good King Burgundy - Good --- So pretty much good to go, but I'll give a bit more time in case Pmush or Byers have more to say.
