Looks like Drawrof is wrapping up (at least for me) so I'll be here to annoy dongsbot. And also play.

Yay, I'm a tree! Since dongs will probably try and get me lynched that probably means I'll get stumped and can continually harass him at my leisure.

3 mislynches and 2 successful primes is a perfect arsonist game with a win on D4. Arsonists don't know if their primes are successful, so if the firefighter picks the right target, the arsonists will have no clue. So, here are a couple options for getting to D4. D1 no lynch, N1 prime, D2 no lynch, N2 prime, D3 lynch, N3 burn. D4 we have 1-3 dead, Ferngully can potentially out and say who she protected to have multiple confirmed town. D1 no lynch, N1 prime, D2 no lynch, N2 burn, D3 lynch, N3 prime. D4 we have 1-2 dead, same situation and can reassess. Basically, lynching Day 1 or Day 2 royally fucks us because we could potentially force ferngully to out herself, losing our only tool to block priming and confirm town. In a normal set-up lynching is a powerful town tool, but here I think ferngully is our tool, and the arsonists have a lovely chance of burning her. If she has to out D3 that's fine, she can say who she doused N1 and N2 and based on how many people die on ignite we can potentially confirm some town.

Max posted:Since town get stumped, I think it's not a problem to lynch day 1 and 2. You lose some voting power but gain confirmed town opinions early on that will stick around. Scum are probably not going to waste a night priming a stump, which means that unless the player was already primed before they were lunched, they will probably be around for the whole game. Then you just hope they have good reads and opinions. That confirms town, sure, but it gives arsons one less person to prime. It's entirely possible to lynch a townie that's been primed, wasting a LOT of the arsonists time, and that benefits town. Also, when they do ignite, if the number is less than it should, we can see who argued for/against lynching the primed townie, as arsonists would rather lynch townies that haven't been primed. All in all, I think no lynches for two days give town a pretty strong advantage.

Max posted:I don't agree with this from a strategy standpoint and also from a meta standpoint. I've already explained why I think, strategically, I would rather have some confirmed town around early to listen to. Ok, even if we lynch completely randomly, there's a 1/9 chance of putting up Ferngully, our only tool to confirm town besides lynching them. If she's outed, she's dead. Nothing can save her. Arsonists have to prime before they can kill, and they have 2 votes, so they are going to (as subtly as possible) make sure that the people they've primed aren't lynched, not to mention the fact that they're going to try and not get lynched themselves. So, all they have to do is prime 2 people and get 1/3 of the players mislynched (hardly impossible) to win the game. However, if there are 2 no lynches, arsonists only have a 2/7 chance of killing ferngully on N3. We have a chance of lynching a primed tree, wasting an arsonist night action. We have a chance of Ferngully coming out and confirming town if she correctly douses people, letting us narrow down who are the arsonists. Mislynching is a powerful scum tool this game, and lynching is comparatively a weak scumhunting tool in this game relative to normal mafia games. But, we've both made our cases. Days 1 and 2 I won't be voting anyone, for the reasons I've stated.

Max posted:Why wood I ever say yes to this? Well, mislynching helps the arsonists. A lot. It gives them the game in this setup. Ferngully is our cop and our doctor with no self-protect. We simply can't afford to out/mislynch her, especially not early. That's pretty obvious, I think, to everyone here, including you. So yeah, I guess I am coming around!

Max posted:I'm just trying to imagine what 2 full game days would look like if we all agreed not to lunch anyone. I think things will stagnate and things will be impressively uninteresting. Well, if I'm not a crazy person and it WAS the best decision we could say, "Hey AR we have decided not to lunch anyone today so move the timeline forward and ask for night actions." Basically if there was a consensus we could accelerate the game. Besides, if we no-lynched D1 and D2 the absolute earliest possible scum action would show up D3 anyways, and that's probably not even their best move. Hypothetically. Lots of people haven't chimed in since PM's have gone out so I could be off base here, but the potential of losing the doc/cop D1 or D2 is pretty gamebreaking, and odds of seeing a crispy ferngully D3 are 1/7 with two no-lynches.

Ah well, d1 and d2 lynch with a n2 burn means 1/3 chance of ferngully dying without ever providing any useful information. Guess we can do our best. Who cares about winning anyways?

Why not reveal? You're basically just a tree anyways.

Murmur Twin posted:I feel like we have to lynch D1 and D2, there's no other way to gain information. If Ferngully douses incorrectly N1 and N2, yes. But D3 it puts us in an interesting situation. The arsonists won't want to lynch the people they've primed, even if Ferngully saved them. Town also has 4 potentially useful lynches, because lynching either arsonist or either primed townie is "good" in that it slows scum. The 'strategy' makes use of our power role. If we get lucky and she correctly douses a couple townies, the arsonists are boned. If, however, we play the game with a 'lynch erryday' mentality, we cripple ferngully as we're likely to lynch her, out her, or get her randomly primed. You guys do make good points though. It's just a question of whether we want to make use of our power role or not.

Li Dawny posted:Can you please read the things you post and make an effort to sound less condescending Adahn? Condescending? Not one person has considered the possibility that the firefighter will be useful in this game, and everyone who's argued against my thoughts has operated under the assumption that she will never douse effectively. That's not condescension, that's observation.

Max, dongs, and MMT all think that the odds of Ferngully dousing someone who is going to be primed are slim to none. That doesn't make her 'our most important tool', that makes her a 7th tree. I'm not scum, but their best strategy for winning, as I said, is 3 mislynches and 2 primes that don't overlap for D4 50% vote control. They can't, and won't, prime randomly.

Eh, this isn't really mafia though. Scum don't know if they've primed successfully or not, at least as long as we have ferngully. My hope was to keep the odds of her dying due to chance low (1/7) for a couple days. Now they are 1/3 or 1/2 since the arsonists won't prime themselves and make up the biggest voting bloc. So let's try not to lynch ferngully!

Murmur Twin posted:You're not describing their best strategy for winning, you're describing their quickest path to victory. I'm not going to advocate no-lynching anymore, but I'll talk about D3, N3, and D4 a little. D3 we lynch. The arsonists will not want to lynch the people they've primed. N3 they ignite, and D4 we get loads of info. If Fern saved anyone, we have at least two, potentially 3 confirmed town (if fern decides to come out). If anyone burns who was a lynch target, we see who was resistant to putting them up. However, we should probably lynch day 1 and 2. We've got okay odds of getting an arsonist, even if we end up losing ferngully in the process. I'd put the odds of losing her at 50% by D3.

Anomalous Amalgam posted:Adahn, I want you to explain how what you were doing was A. a gambit, and B. How scum would think for a minute that it was a good idea or/at all favorable to them. There seems to be a disconnect in your logic. It's a numbers game. I was focusing on how to maximize the utility of our power role while ignoring the probability of lynching arsonists D1 and D2. I wasn't joking when I said I was being a dumbass, it wasn't a gambit. Like I said, even blind lynching D1 and D2 gives 22 and 25% odds of lynching an arsonist, respectively, which are pretty good. If an arsonist sees a townie advocating for a no-lynch for a couple days, they might think it was a good idea too. We have a much higher chance of losing our power role, but we gain a decent chance of getting 1 of the scum.

Anomalous Amalgam posted:But why would they think it's a good idea that's where I'm not following. Granted, odds of a mislynch D1 and D2 are 7/9 and then 3/4 or 6/7 depending on what happens D1, but that's if it's completely random. Most people playing assume that Ferngully isn't going to douse correctly, so scum probably believes that as well. That means no-lynching really would be a total scum benefit. I don't think so, but I'm a weirdo.
