It Trolls Down Hill

[Deadlytalon]

Ok so I had to tell you guys about this cause it is just.. idk lol. So I join a game, Guy sets everything up as random, 4 neutrals, 3 mafia, 8 town all randoms, cits excluded. I am a mason, along with another mason and a mason leader. There is NO cits so no chance to recruit, and no cult. So mason leader is like hey, lets just random lynch someone until where the last ones alive. So where like whatever you know. Well, N1 GF dies, "No Night immunity?" lol. D2 starts, I accuse brown of being mafia. Just trying to random lynch some1 lol. Well town decides to put him up, Turns out he is the blackmailer. He says he bmed the mason leader, who is in-fact blackmailed. He then claims that teal is mafia. Town votes guilty, He dies and is the blackmailer. N2 happens, Witch makes teal target me, making me die to mafia. D3, Witch starts by saying, Teal is last mafia I made him kill pink "me." Spams it over n over. So of course, Teal gets put up to trial and found guilty. Teal says "Lynch purple hes the SK." N3 starts, SK is bewitched into targeting himself. Witch starts D4 with I made the SK kill himself. Well then town of course lynches the witch, thinking games over. Nope games still not over. So town decides to just start random lynching "At this point theres 2 masons, an investigator, a lookout, and 2 witches still left "Not counting the 1 dead witch." So ne-ways town ends up lynching the last 2 witches and town wins. Just an epic example of how trolling can roll down hill.

It is impossible for cits to be totally exlcuded if there was a mason leader, mason leaders cant be in a game without a citizen, believe me i tried

On the EU it's getting like this all the time. Mafia is also nearly half way down on page 2

For every game you play with this mindset and win, you will lose and ruin another 10.

Unless you can keep all 3 masons alive, it probably isn't a good idea to random lynch, because there's a very good chance you'll lose a majority.

Whatever works, though. I usually end up trolling as mayor and random lynching silent people (who are 80% of the time mafia). Mafia never think to target you due to trolling, and when they do, well, you probably have a BG covering your ass. In fact, I've had one game where I lynched 2 mafia in a row and then last one was taken out by a BG.

A complete trolling lynch relies on random chance. In a 15-man game with 4 evils, the apparent chance of correct initial lynch for town is:

4 (evils remaining after N1) / 12 (remaining players after N1 excluding yourself) = 33.33%
For subsequent lynches, the chance should be at least equal or higher - from trends and leads.

Even for worst case scenario, no kills and leads. For apparent chance of consecutive correct lynches for town:
4x3x2x1 evils / 14x13x12x11 (other players) = 0.00999 (1 in 1001 games).
Conclusion: Random chance is all luck no epic.

I hope my math is correct though...

Hmm... I think my calculation for the correct chance for first lynch is not that accurate. I forgot that mafia knew each other. The chance should be lower than in theory, unless mafia is also trolling...
