Never attribute to malice that post which is adequately explained by a poor sense of humor.
What if, instead, it goes:

paranoid suggests you
insane agrees
naive agrees
normal vetoes, suggests someone from the paranoid clan (outing you as normal)
paranoid vetoes, suggests someone from the normal clan (outing someone as paranoid)
insane agrees
naive agrees
normal vetoes, suggests someone from the naive clan (outing someone as normal)
paranoid agrees,
insane agrees
naive vetoes, suggests someone from the normal clan (outing someone as naive)
normal vetoes, suggests someone from the insane clan (outing someone as normal)
paranoid agrees,
insane vetoes, suggests the solo (outing someone as insane)

And so on? Then my entire team would be outed and only one of each of the others. An extreme example, obviously. But it puts my team at a significant disadvantage.

Do you not understand the difference between the next player put up is random versus the next player put up is guaranteed not to be x alignment?

Look if we are voting the solo day 1 then I see three options:

1 we alll out everyone on our teams and everyone is equally exposed, solo is eliminated
2 we do a true random selection where every team has an equal chance to out none, some or all of their team before we find solo. It’s not technically equal as I’d be willing to go first here thereby ensuring they my team is possibly the only team that puts any info
3 your semi random where based on your order you have automatically put the first team as having the best chance of outing the least info and the last team to select as having the worst chance of outing the most info


So fine if we do your way then paranoid should act last, not first. You are putting forth an imbalanced plan and putting yourself in the seat with the best odds, which seems self dealing

I get what you mean, and yeah that's possible, but any strategy along these lines is going to have that flaw. The "fair" way of doing it is to all reveal our entire teamlist, but that's dangerous too, since theoretically we could land on the solo on our 2nd guess if we're lucky.

Fine. Once they respond in discord agreeing, I will reveal 1 member of the paranoid council as a show of good faith. I put myself in the first slot because otherwise no one would have started the process, since I am the one trying the hardest to herd 16 cats into catching the solo rat here

Again let’s just go random. It’s faster as it only takes one response to move on (the vouching delegate or an already outed player) rather than four for each person on the block

But whatever at this point I don’t really care

I still genuinely don't understand the alternative scenario you're proposing or how it's any different!

we could amend the roulette to be:

paranoid suggests voodoo
insane agrees
naive agrees
normal vetoes, INSANE suggests [someone from paranoid]
paranoid vetoes, NAIVE suggests [someone from naive]
insane agrees
naive vetoes, NORMAL suggests [someone blah blah you get it]

...but this would require a lot more posts and everyone to be online and actively engaged at the same time

...i hosed that hypothetical up by having naive suggest a naive member but the idea is that the next suggested vote would always be in order rather than just when someone vetoes

i actually think this might be less fair, though, as at least in the original scenario you get to choose a potential vote every time you have to out a team member, whereas this alternate version could be even worse RNG possibly

Like, we all know this game is 4 teams of 4 and then a solo. If we hadn’t been able to deduce that it’s one thing, but seriously, can anyone make a case on someone as being “scum” in this game? That’s what I’m saying. This game is about killing the solo because otherwise eliminations become politicking situations.

Galaxy-Brain Sane Mafia: A CubicalSucrose Concoction is an experimental, SANITY-MECHANIC-HEAVY game designed for 17 players (& as many observers as Discord can handle) based off of inspiration from a recent obs-chat idea and a few hours of chatting with Iggy. Most of the positive refinement comes from Iggy, all of the remaining rough edges are from me.

It says Mafia right here.

So I came expecting social deduction.

I understand why people are doing some dumb breaking strat but it isn't fun.

And from I can gather after the solo is out it's basically a popularity contest.
