Look, I just want to nail down the cop types here. We have a person with two different people giving two different reads. In the end, when they flip it gives us some reads to build off of. With the info we have I want to narrow it down.

Assuming two scum players, you’re advocating executing a player to test the accuracy of a cop claim

If Somber is scum, great, but we can’t trust the accuracy of the cop results

If Somber is town, that would be EXLO tomorrow and we still can’t trust the accuracy of the cop results

Testing the claims is not a good reason for executing anyone

If you think Somber is scum, fine, but don’t paint it as the logical solution to a puzzle, because it’s not

Surely a safe assumption? One scum is not a game of mafia, and three scum is one misexecution and the game’s over, it’s got to be two.

I can't tell if Sci just isn't seeing the value in one of them being proven legit wrong and one of them being much more credible, or if he's being actively disingenuous. If we ignore all cop results, what we've got is (probably) a 7/2 all vanilla game, which is pretty strongly scum-biased.

Likely, but an assumption nevertheless friend 🙂 This isn't exactly a standard game so far. Just want it noted before we travel too far down this proverbial garden path.

Point taken

Nonetheless, I think it is very risky to try to solve the game on D1

So tell me, what happens when we have one who is wrong and one who is right? What do scum do that night?

What have we gained?

I am going to work on the assumption that some cops return town results on everyone, some return scum results in everyone, some return random results and some return the opposite result

Hell, it could even be that Bif has a dice roll for each of us and none of us are actually cops, we just think we are

I am proposing that we play a game of mafia, where you try to deduce who is in the informed minority from their actions and words. You are proposing that we try to solve the game like a logic puzzle.

You are trying to solve the game d1 based on a very silly mass claim. Better to play to reads rather than early setup guesses, no?

Let's put this another way. If we can't trust investigation results, then this is basically D1, and the dunk is going to be completely spurious anyways. But if we can trust them, then we should! Either way, we have nothing to lose by making a D1 flip that gives us information. Some of that information might just be "how everyone reacted to the idea, in retrospect with a flip."

I like the part where we infer things based on how people react to discussion topics 😃 I don't like the part where we write off today and just try to gather information rather than lunch a member of the Scumb Team 😟

if somber is scum, that means:

myself: naive, insane
snooze: sane, paranoid

if somber is town, that means:

myself: naive, sane

killing somber here will check off one possibility for two people basically and im not sure if thats the best to go all-in on for a 7-person game

Or Snoozington Cruisington is not only a member of the Mafia, but in fact the Godfather of the organization 😱 There are more possibilities there that we could be unaware of at this point too.

Let me ask everyone this, and I would like everyone to please do me a biiiiiiig favor in their answering by simply responding yes 👍 or no 👎

Do you think it would be good design, generally speaking, to give a member of the Town a valid 𝙽𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚉𝚎𝚛𝚘 investigation power?

With seven players? Yes. Mechanically, this game could very well just be a gimmick 9-man, but Bif decided to run with seven and have a night zero to skip the uneventful D1.

It’s not a bandwagon so much as trying to puzzle it out. There are between 4-6 of us, likely all cops, how many cop types are their? Makes sense to have one of each Or maybe 2 sane. So I’d rather try To narrow it down some how, and It’s not being disingenuous to say that in a vacuum, a somber flip has more opportunities for information to be given than random chance since we have two given results on them. Which at this point if we instead do as requested and ignore our cop claims, swings this drastically to scums benefit. Which I don’t like.

I feel comfortable that your Town game is substantially better than to say this. I have been contributing faithfully to the conversation and characterising my vote as reactionary in no way addresses the point. You very clearly try to mitigate culpability to avoid a strong association with my execution at least twice in the post where you voted for me 😑

As I know that I am Town, I know the investigation is useless. When the likely scenario is that we have two plays before we lose, it seems very silly to waste one of those plays when I already know the answer.

You already have one investigation with a Scumb result. The result is direct from the moderator.

The other Scumb result comes with a conflicting Town result as well. The Scumb result comes from a player, and so you personally cannot speak to its authenticity at this point.

If you believe the investigations have value, it seems obvious you would pick the former. As far as using my flip to determine additional setup information,

Scientastic posted:

And the idea that we will learn anything about the game that we don’t already know is bollocks and a bad reason to vote for someone

For the record, I have a strong Town read on Dmboogie as the post in which they worked through different possibilities felt very genuine 🙂
