I don't think we are ready for that just yet.
But I love the fire in this post none the less!

In post 8, beeboy wrote:I've thought about the strategy to this game today and it is optimal play for town is to just hand the chain to whoever they are confident is town and is least likely to get a chain from someone else.

The person who holds the most power is the 2nd last person to hold the chain since they choose who dies,
if we get a pool of 3 people, 2 scum and 1 town 33% of the time scum lives, same odds occur if we get a pool of 2 town 1 scum
since 66% of the time we have a 50% shot of hitting scum. So getting a whole bunch of scum at the end of our pool hardly helps us win. And letting town control who dies is incredibly valuable.

We also want a somewhat random town player being 2nd last so we shouldn't just select a "2nd last town" to make the kill, we want a fluid game state that allows for people to have free will especially in the early game since information is more valuable then actually hitting scum day 1 and 2. You can't solve a lot of players without letting them make hard hitting choices and by just shoving choices down their throat we can't ever get a solid read.
I figured this was about looking for town to start the chain. I like the idea of having 2 players we find scummy with one at the end that we think is town to chose.


I think the only player that can't vote is the chain leader as their vote is what starts the chain.
hhhhhmmmmm never mind I don't want there to be confusion. We could do fos instead of a vote on players we find scummy.

Oooo even better as the game goes on we have 2 people we can fos as scummy. I will treat it like the mafia dating game show but instead the player at the end picks who lives are dies.

Shouldn't we be controlling who that second-to-last person is?
Because if scum is third-to-last, controlling it means they don't get a chance to save a buddy, when that is a position where scum is highly likely to select a buddy.

This is a good plan. I agree that it's important we have a strong town read as 2nd last. And I do agree with what someone said about having the last 2 to choose between as our general strongest scum reads. I don't know if this was already said but I was thinking that we should decide as a group who the last chain will go to.

What if we select a small pool of players we think are town and someone within that pool must be chosen to be 3rd last and someone else within that pool must be 2nd last. That way our chances of town having full control of the kill are increased?

I think day 1 should stay as it is. Anything else said will help scum organize and if they slip day 1 then that's on them.
If we just keep those 2 players we find as the scummiest in the pool of those we want to see lynched from each person who forms the chain and the 2nd to last as the most town I think it will be a good plan for day 1.

I agree with this, we just want 2nd to last to be a town player.
Everything else can be standard fluid mafia for the sake of game play.
