    Re: S-FM Summer 2020

    So I thought of a question for all to start things:

    If you were a TPR and could choose any role possible within the setup that is a TPR, what would it be?

    Me, I would choose coroner. I think having potential information by d3 over what roles exist would be great, assuming we dont mislynch two days straight. Then things are rough.

    Interesting. Coroner is an OP and criminally underrated role in the mod.

    But why do you ask? What would fantasizing about town power roles do to help us?

    I mean, I daydream too, but this seems a bit much.

    It can be in the mod, but here on FM the dynamics can be completely different. The biggest example I feel of this is the fact that any mafia member can carry out the factional team kill while keeping their role. So if they had a Consort and a Kidnapper, where the Consort did the killing, the coroner could find out that the killer was a Consort and therefore any Escort claims would be suspect.

    Hi everybody! New here obviously. Also kinda new to mafia in general. Not used to playing with power roles really and I’m not sure how that affects the game. I’ve looked at the set up and all the Power roles but I can’t promise to keep them straight in my head. I’ll do my best though!

    A couple of quick mechanical questions: how do we vote, do we have majority voting/hammers, are votes locked in lylo, etc?

    Uh, doesn’t this sort of talk risk helping the wolves figure out who the power roles are?

    You can vote by doing this:

    [vote]MartinGG99
    -vote

    Where in the second vote part, you include a " / " in there like so:


    It'll become this:
    -vote MartinGG99


    Lynching occurs once 51% of votes are for lynching a person, and the day ends, according to this setup.

    Votes are not locked in at lylo, for this setup i believe.

    I don't think so. Especially if everyone answers. Regardless, this was inquiring about what we wanted to be. Not if we got a TPR, and if that TPR was what we wanted.

    Yeah but the way people answer could give hints. Like I’ve only played one game really (my champs game on MU) but everyone there was pretty hardcore against discussing anything about power roles for that reason.

They may also participate in their night chat if they have one. The night is notably the time when Mafia chooses who they want to kill.
    During the day, everyone posts in the game thread, created by the game's Host. Usually, every day has a Lynch possiblity. Depending on the lynch system, requirements to lynch (kill) a player change. However, there are two lynch systems that are commonly used : majority and plurality.

    Majority lynch is a lynch system that requires [51% of living players] votes to lynch a player, while Plurality lynch happens at End of Day; the person with the most votes gets lynched.
    The two systems can be combined in plurality + majority, which results in plurality lynch rules with the addition of Majority lynch possiblity during the day.
    In order to vote against a player, use the [vote]The player's name[/vote] format. The vote system of the forum will automatically take your vote into account. Once the lynch requirement is met, the Host will close the thread and show the player's flip (their role and alignment, usually). If lynch is attained through Majority, @The Godfather , our lynch bot, will post a final vote count and close the thread.
    Lynching a player kills them, effectively removing them from the game. They cannot post, vote, or use any actions, unless the Setup specifies otherwise.
    In order to see where votes are placed, click the "Vote Count" button at top left of the page.

    I am fairly familiar with the setup the champs has going on right now, given that I've already read some (Sorry for what happened to your game by the way). There was a very good reason for avoiding TPR's is because there was only one TPR possible, which was the JOAT. So if you were talking anything about power roles at all then you could be in serious trouble as someone may think you were bread crumbing it. But since there's a multitude of possibilities, i don't really see a hazard in doing this question.

    Also, I do feel some aspects of this question, when taken into full account when everyone or most respond to it, can be Alignment Indicative. Or at the very least good basis for some reads. But if i explained exactly why then scum could just ruin it.

    Anyways, if you think this question is bad then how would you propose a new one? I mean, I doubt you could explain it to me without revealing a question's secret, as a question's secret is, after all, meant to suprise scum in order to get a (hopefully) accurate read on them. I ask the same of @Ash Lael too.

    For a start I would ask about literally anything other than power roles.

    Well then, I hope you get insights from whoever votes me, and whoever answers that question. I've only gotten responses from 3 people out of the 8 possible, and I had hoped for more. Remember that only 4 votes are needed in order to set me up for a scum hammer. They'll end the day before even a quarter of it has passed, and all that time for town discussion will be gone.

    Im encouraging people to respond to my question, regardless of whether or not they actually answer it. The question the host was one that I didn't know, and wanted to ask now just in case 12 hours from now, despite my future explanation, I would be lynched. But I believe everyone here are sensible people.

    Re: S-FM Summer 2020

    Correction/elaboration: The question to the Host was a question with regards to something I did not know. I couldn't find any sort of proper structure mentioning it (other than the setup) so i had to ask the host. Of couse, hosts have real lives and can take awhile to respond. That means asking earlier than when i need to ask it is better.

    Its mighty easy to strawman a person for starting a game with a question when no one else has proposed one. Of course, part of that is on my part due to the nature of the question. However, as i've stated, this is about hypotheticals, if we were a TPR and if we had a choice in choosing our TPR. I could easily see everyone answering this, with their hypothetical wants or choice, and the scum wouldn't know any better about who's who in regards to roles.

  41. ISO #41

    Re: S-FM Summer 2020

    Where you lose me is when you argue that the answers would provide no hints about roles if the responses came from town, but might if they came from scum.

    Like if it’s completely hypothetical and nothing anyone says could imply anything about what role they have... then how is it supposed to help you catch wolves?

  42. ISO #42

    Re: S-FM Summer 2020

    I've mulled it over a bit. I had hoped more people would answer it.

    Basically, the point of the question was to figure out who would question me, and to what extent. I figure if people are town, they don't have an informed majority, and therefore are more skeptical of things. I wanted be proactive and get a good pool of reads to start from, and then other people might make their own informed analyses of it in the future. For example, if someone acted towny by questioning my motives and actions, but then refrained from attacking someone else in the future, that could be telling. If you review my past posts, you might see that I was hinting that I even counted your agression towards the question as an acceptable response, because thats the point. Scum might just answer it freely without care or question because they think there's nothing telling about it since it would be hypothetical.

    When I meant "hints", im referring to the act where a person who is a TPR says something in response, and because of who they are, their answers are altered in such a way that a normal citizen would not have worded it. Considering this was a question where we could all say what we wanted, I sincerely believed being a TPR had no influence on what people answered. In hindsight, I suppose not answering the question out of fear could be accidentally hinting though, not that I believe that has occurred.

    Here's my notes that I took about 30 minutes ago for it.


    Initial reads (1 hour 30 mins in):

    Auwt is sleeping.

    Ash Lael is probably town

    Bakermir is null, I might find out later with my explanation. Might be scum due to lack of depth in response?

    Dallarian is not here yet.

    Grakylan is not here yet.

    Helltanis is not here yet.

    Renegade seemed towny, but then again he hasn't voted me. Null-> Town leaning

    Zedus is not here yet.

    The way you started talking about being a coroner and random lynching was quite odd.

    I dislike it when people discuss roles like that.

    But then I casually voted you up. I just wanted to hear more from you. It felt like you wanted to tell us more about power roles.

    At this point; you began lobbying for support from other two people in the conversation and started giving excuses about a possible misunderstanding.

    As more people realized the purpose of voting you up; you continue to be very defensive and even to a point where you call someone a scum because they didn't explain in depth why they voted you up.

    I honestly don't believe 2 posts, each only about 2 sentence's worth, is really depth in the criticism of my question. Then again, I only had you three to judge from, and considering there's a 57.8% (1 - ( 6 / chance that one of the mafia were one of you three, then I would choose you for that. Remember, though, 5 other people haven't "arrived" yet. There's a distinct possibility I may be wrong, but at least all our actions are known here for future reference as circumstantial evidence. For or against me.

    But please do remember that I tried to do something to enlighten ourselves about each other in the town. Its only with our collective effort can we solve the game and catch the scum/mafia. I don't seriously think you are mafia or scum unless there's future evidence in connection with this that would convince me of that.

    Hmm.

    Reads:

    MartinGG99: I really don’t know what to make of this guy. I still don’t like the question and think it’s dangerous for town. I was trying to figure out if he was just a clueless townie earlier, but he’s shown now that he’s definitely not clueless. So he’s either smart town or a smart wolf.

    If he’s smart town, it’s all as he says. He disagrees with me that the question could help expose our power roles, and was looking for reactions (and got a few). Ok, fine, fair enough.

    If he’s smart wolf the plan was to potentially expose some power roles, while having an “escape hatch” in claiming what he has. Possibly also gain some town cred for later by saying “Hey look, why would I draw attention To myself like that if I was scum?”

    He’s definitely got the balls to stare down a couple of votes, and has made the judgement that this play will not get him lynched (correctly or otherwise). So either world is entirely possible. I guess the only alignment indicative part is the question of how likely it is that a smart, thoughtful player doesn’t see the risk to town?

    I think... possible but relatively unlikely? He himself even mentioned a possible risk (a power role might avoid answering out of fear), so he’s clearly capable of seeing the risks. Perhaps they didn’t occur to him at first, but he seems like he would have thought this through at least a bit.

    Plus he’s been very helpful and friendly to me - teaching me about the mechanics of the site and offering condolences for the cancelled game. Could just be a naturally nice and friendly guy - and I’m sorry for suspecting you for this Martin if you are! - but it’s also a cheap, easy way to get brownie points as a wolf.

    So after all that I end up with a scum lean on him. I don’t feel confident in it, but I do want to keep my vote on him for now.

    Renegade: Present, has opinions, seems to want to stay on the sidelines a bit. Critical of Martin’s play but didn’t really do anything about it. Could just be their personality, some people don’t like brawling. Tweaking me, but not enough to move them down from null yet.

    Bakermir - I like this guy. Puts himself out there, isn’t afraid to push or to start a wagon. I feel a bit of town hunger in him. Town lean.

    Everyone else - null.
