Open 538: Diffusion of Power (Game Over)

[Smudger]

I was n2 doc.

shouldn't claim. you reduce the pool of active PRs that scum can kill.

however, you are probably prime target anyway along with Zebe

if he is claiming N2 doc an due was, then he is now VT. what are you talking about?

BB clears DP, DP claims N2 doc, the same claim as Aptil. is that not obvious to you?

[BoroPhil]

"It's possible for there to be multiple players with the same power and night."

from post 2.

[DoctorPepper]

I now have an issue with Smudger thinking its impossible for multiple PRs in one day.

I got Zebe.

[Smudger]

that should read " and he was, "

what I am saying is presumably scum want to hit the remaining PRs

before DPs claim the people who hadn't claimed were DP, me, you and Lucky.

If DP doesn't claim then they might target him (particularly as he is almost certainly conftown thanks to Aptil)

Now he has, they might go for one of the others who could still use their PR.

ok as I said, I misread that and so stand corrected.

got you, was having an "essex" moment

[BoroPhil]

Ok. We shoulda lynched ABR a lot sooner. -.- God, that game. Hurts my heart still to think about it.

I'll sheep you on Kalimar today. I'm not really into mafia right this second. I just bought Torchlight 2 on Steam for like $4. That's what's happening.

VOTE: Kalimar

Could this be conftown ETL bussing his partner? This made it L-2

How better to set yourself up for the rest of the game as scum than:

a) declaring yourself a N1 cop and clearing a townie
b) bussing your buddy

Coupled with her rather illogical tunneling of me today and her anger when I suggested she wasn't conftown yesterday, we shouldn't rule her out.

Discuss.

[Smudger]

I look at her overall play, rather than specific instances, early on I had a town feel for her. So while your theory is a possibility I don't particularly see it.

[Lucky2u]

I already claimed.

[BoroPhil]

so you did. N5 doc for you. why did you feel the need to claim?

[BoroPhil]

I agree with you.

But if I am lynched today you might want to revisit it.

[Lucky2u]

so you did. N5 doc for you. why did you feel the need to claim?

Because ETL called for one. I thought we would all end up claiming.

[BoroPhil]

what benefit do you think claiming gives us though?

or are you just doing what ETL says to make sure you stay onside?

and ETL - I'm still waiting for that answer

[Lucky2u]

I just want to stay onside. After all, my scummy brain just tells me to stay under the radar.

[BoroPhil]

now there is a Class A scummy post.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

UNVOTE:
for now. I just had an idea but I'm at work and can't track it down yet. Later.

[Lucky2u]

now there is a Class A scummy post.

Damn... I was going for Class S

[BoroPhil]

you could try answering the question though? ETL as well? or anyone?

[Lucky2u]

Well the question was valid until you added the leading snide remark about following ETL. Therefor you get sarcasm in my response.

[BoroPhil]

I'm sorry Lucky.

Please answer my question?

[Lucky2u]

Well there is only a set number of docs and cops so knowing who has what, we can use that to figure out where the liar is. We are ahead thanks to lynching Kalimar so I think a claim benefits us more than scum.

No. There's not. How do you get "set number of docs and cops" from the below?

Role list:
3 Mafia Goons
4-6 Night Specific Docs
4-6 Night Specific Cops


Mechanics:
Daystart
The Mod randomises how many Cops and Docs there are: 1/3rd chance of a 4/6, 5/5 or 6/4 split each.
The Mod then randomises a number from 1-5 for each town player. This is the one night that the players' role works on.
It's possible for there to be multiple players with the same power and night.
Mafia are told pregame exactly how many Cops and Docs exist in the setup, but not who and what nights they are.
Cops and Doctors flip only as "Town Cop" or "Town Doctor".

The reason I asked for claims is not the actual information outrightly given in the claim. It's the way the claim is given, the results claimed, the targets claimed, and the reasons stated for those.

[Lucky2u]

Uhh... Yes there is? It can only be 4/6 split or 5/5. As evidenced in that post. So if we end up with 4/8 claim don't you think that narrows things down?
