I'm now in Canada, a surprise trip for work that came up last night at about 10:15p. I will be in Canada through the whole weekend and have limited ability to play mafia.

I will then be going to Europe starting March 31.

Let's see how this goes. I might need a replacement too... but think I might have a chance of handling it.

me catching up on this thread:



it's amazing ya'll

okay so Amoeba is scum, every time someone threw a curve-ball their reaction stuck out from everyone else's and they seem to be pushing an agenda different from everyone else's

i don't know how to phrase it better than this but reading 11 pages in a row gave me this perspective clearly

Why should you kill either of us when we share a wincon with town. We thought our alignment name WAS the town one because our wincon is literally " kill all scum"

If your wincon is pro-town, why aren't you just town?

If you have a secret, secondary win-condition, I don't trust you. If you claim your actual secondary win condition now, I probably still won't trust you.

This whole claim situation was dragged out piece by piece. That's never a good thing.

Like Keane said, Ecco likes to do weird stuff with alignments and it's also possible that you're anti-town but don't know it.

I thought deadline was 11:30am, but I guess it's 11:30pm. I don't think people are going to get on board with a Somber lunch (or any lunch) between now and then though so I'm fine with ending the day now.

Should I hammer the no lunch?

winvirus posted:

Also you people voting no-lynch in lights out suck, the point is that we get to use our greatest town weapon (a lynch) multiple times. Let's take advantage of that.

this shouldnt even be an "Ugggh, I guess" kind of thing.

We've just dunked two people and a third was modkilled.

Any more blind lunches is bad for town.

Im leaning heavily towards winvirus and somber and anyone else griping about how we arent wanting to hang a third person.

Christ people, use your heads.

winvirus even goes so far as to say the exact opposite of the truth

In lights out it is more beneficial to SCUM to blindly plorp multiple people at once.

We already used it multiple times winvirus, its time to let it go for now and see what the flips bring us, the flips we will see will be enough to give us some solid information to go off of.

I am curious, but I'm not curious in a way that's going to let me rush through a bunch of uninformed decisions. Everyone in the thread talked about numerrik and at least half the thread talked about Jedit. That's an insane amount of information that we're getting in a single flip. I want to see it before coming to any more conclusions.

Town having the initiative is good - town gets to decide kills by majority vote rather than scum deciding who dies. The more people we dunk, the more we deny scum agency.

There is a tradeoff in that we get less information, but winvirus isn't conceptually wrong, he's just disagreeing where the ideal number is.

Unless scum are leading the charge?


Lights out is something where it is beneficial for town to limit their lynches to 1 or 2 while the scum want to lead the charge and try to get multiple mislynches.

Okay, sure, two flips is plenty. It's not a bad number of flips at all. In fact, it's a totally okay number of flips.

You know what's better than two flips though? Two flips and then another third-party flip.

Their team literally has a secondary win condition that they are keeping secret.

There's a number n: 1 ≤ n ≤ ~inf~ that's the optimal number of people to dunk in a day. We don't have all the information we need to determine if n is 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 - you're just guessing that it's closer to 2. Saying that it's closer to 3 than 2 isn't scummy.
