oh snap so I actually only have 6 buddies

that means out of you guys like half of you are not aligned with me

ok do you guys think we should be lynching for werewolves or lynching for mafia on d1 (serious question)

I wanna hear some theory stuff out of each of you right now about this specific setup before I decide who I'm gonna let into my town pile

^^woops both of those posts were me lol althydra slip

Holy shit, it's been four days.

@Bacde (I assume): Werewolves are better to lynch first because lynching them gets rid of the NK and makes the game Nightless.

not exactly, the seer can still investigate at night even though there wouldnt be any werewolves left (but still a night action)

also, why not let a werewolf live on the off chance that they kill mafia? a 3-man scumteam has a lot of social influence and can be very devastating, shouldn't that be culled?

also-why worry about lynching for werewolves when we have a seer who can possibly find them?

The Wolves' kill is both not directed by town and more likely to hit Town than Mafia. Sure, the Seer can find the Wolves, but that just lets them get caught faster.

I do agree that the Mafia is a more social threat, but it's not as bad of one as the Wolves.

I had a longer post, but I think it would be best just to give the short version.

The short answer is that it would be optimal to lynch Mafia and Werewolves in an order that is to town's best advantage.
The best order in my thinking would be: Mafia-> Werewolf -> Mafia(or maybe werewolf to get rid of the NK, depends how incompetent they are with their NK's) -> Werewolf-> Mafia.

So, I think it's optimal to not concentrate on one faction so much it is better to aim for specific factions on specific days. As it is best to use these factions to do the legwork for town. That said, getting rid of the NK, will protect stronger town players from the NK, which can be a huge disadvantage to us and the mafia. But a lot of this speculation relies on a sort of standard level of skill. Obviously if the Mafia team is better, then they should be concentrated on first, or else strong town players and Werewolves will be made quick work of and they'll be difficult to lynch with all three still alive. If the werewolf team concentrates their NK's on strong town players rather then on Mafia then they should be brought down first (but the Mafia should be bled so that their voting power becomes weaker).

I honestly hadn't put much thought into it. My thought process is: Find scum, and lynch it. Theory-wise, probably lynching the wolves would be better, as we'd eliminate the nk, and we could find scum at our own pace by using traditional scumhunting methods.

P-Edit: Look at that beautiful scum posting from Icebox. Will explain in a minute.

Did anybody else catch the slip?

lol

VOTE: Icebox

WOW Rem

you can't not slip as scum?

Us = Town
Mafia: them.

Strong town players being Nked = bad for town.

By the way, does anyone know how balanced 7:3 Nightless is?

But not for Mafia...?

Wait, that looks completely wrong.

What the fuck.
