Spoiler: Setup

Setup

• 3 Mafia Gentlemen/Ladies
  vs
  14 Town Gentlemen/Ladies, Open setup
  
• The game will include four phases,
  pre-dance
  ,
  first dance
  ,
  intermission
  , and
  second dance
  .
  Pre-dance
  will last 8 days,
  intermission
  will last 2 days, and each
  dance
  will at least 8 days.
  
• One player will be confirmed as aligned with
  Town
  at game start.
  
• During the
  pre-dance
  , a
  Gentleman
  can ask a
  Lady
  to the dance in thread. Each
  Lady
  can accept only one dance proposal.
  
• At the end of the
  pre-dance
  , any player who doesn't have a dance partner will be asked to leave the dance. (death)
  
• Each dance pair will then become Lovers, and they will be given a private topic to discuss the game.
  
• During the
  dances
  , normal nightless execution mechanics will take over. An execution will NOT reset the deadline. If the Mafia makes up 50% or more of the remaining players at any point, Mafia immediately wins. If all of the Mafia are executed, then Town wins. If the game runs out of time and at least one Mafia is still alive, then Mafia wins.
  
• First dance
  will end if there are 12 players or fewer left alive or deadline is reached. During the
  intermission
  , Mafia may secretly force one of the dance pairs to leave.
  Second dance
  will then begin, and continue until the game's end.
  
• Also, at any point during the
  dance
  , a player may voluntarily leave (he/she dies and his/her alignment flips), which forces his/her partner to leave as well.
  
• Please remember to post in your given alternate account, not your main account. If your main account is outed for any reason, then you will be
  force-replaced

Pre-Dance

Gentleman 8 is the prince, and is aligned with the

Town

.

[Gentleman 8]

well, this sucks

[Lady 2]

10/10 sig.

[Lady 5]

Guys, I feel like the content of Gentleman 8’s post may come from a player who is a vampire, warlock, or werewolf. Is there anything that you can point me to to assuage my doubts!?

[Gentleman 8]

i just want to know why i cordially invited myself to my own masquerade ball and why i didn't make an effort to disguise myself

major plot holes in your flavour already, fakegod. i am disappointed

[Lady 7]

Also why did you invite mafia to the dance? We really could have avoided this entire situation if you had better friends.

[Gentleman 8]

ain't my fault. im the prince, my job is to lounge around all day and pretend i matter. i'll tell my dad to fire whoever is in charge of admin duties, i guess

[Gentleman 1]

Who said anything about mafia? Don't slip on the dance floor, Lady 7.

[Lady 7]

Thank you, please do that. Given he invited a vampire, warlock and a werewolf it seems he knows what he was doing. Quite frankly the Scarlet Devil Mansion is full of lunatics and I imagine that's where the mafia came from.

I can see why they would invite the werewolf given you are also one, but I don't really get why he would want to invite the other 2.

[Lady 7]

I am actually incredibly excited to play this game. Given we are all on secret alts we can probably try and play the predance phase optimally which I don't think has ever been done before.

Basically my plan is I think the Prince should pick his top 2 Ladies and gentlemen who will then pair among each other based on personal preference. This creates a baseline of 3 solid pairs when we include the 3rd rate Lady being paired with the IC. This makes the kill somewhat unclear for the mafia although the IC is likely still dying in this situation. Not saying those 2 pairs should never die but it gives us a good baseline.

The rest of the pairs can be people who trust each other, basically basic dance strategy.

Any objections to this plan?

[Gentleman 1]

We only need to correctly identify 1 T-T pairing to win, right? Then yeah, that sounds pretty solid.

[Lady 5]

That sounds basically like a good plan, is the problem not that VWW are going to be trying very hard to play for a pocket on G8, meaning that his ability to successfully make calls on who actually are the towniest 2 ladies and 2 gents will be impaired.

I also kind of like the idea of choosing on my own steam whether or not to accept a proposal, but I guess that’s reasonably likely anyway.

So yeah overall I’m on board with that plan, but I think the prince should talk through his choices properly before dictating them to give us a chance to check for bias in his picks

[Gentleman 8]

on a serious note, i have mod confirmation that the werewolf is hiding her ears by lowering them and making them blend with her hair. do with this vital piece of information what you will... i'm off to find the cordial i was promised

[Lady 5]

Two, technically, as VWW can kill one. I suppose it’s optimal to kill the IC but not guaranteed.

[Gentleman 1]

How is a werewolf/vampire/warlock (from now on will be referred to as a vamlolf) going to pocket an IC?

[Lady 5]

Lady 5 rapidly fluffs up her hair to give it extra volume for no reason whatsoever

[Lady 5]

How is a werewolf/vampire/warlock (from now on will be referred to as a vamlolf) going to pocket an IC?

I mean idk, probably the same way scum would pocket an IC in other games?

[Gentleman 1]

I agree with all your reads, Gentlemen 8. We're really mindmelding here, bud.

[Lady 5]

Engaging with them a lot, trying to predict what their reads will be and get their first to simulate mind melding, pushing back on some things lightly so it doesn’t look too much like a pocket, being really nice, flirting

There’s a very long list that doesn’t end there, but I don’t know why scum wouldn’t play to pocket the IC, or at least why one of VWW wouldnt

[Gentleman 1]

Yeah, that makes sense. I was thinking too narrowly about townreading someone = pocketing them.

[Lady 7]

I never said we couldn't lynch the pairs, new info will always become available.
While I agree with you that pocketing 1 player isn't that difficult we can always readjust, being wrong is a tool we can use to solve the game. I don't think we should ignore the request of the Prince assuming he works with the team because that kind of dissonance is usually how these dance games go south.

[Gentleman 1]

Watch this, ladies.

I perform a back flip

[Lady 7]

We only need to correctly identify 1 T-T pairing to win, right? Then yeah, that sounds pretty solid.

We'd need 2-3.
Wolves can pair together which means 1 town pair gets end gamed against a W/W pair.
Wolves also get 1 kill which makes it 2 pairs ignoring the above.

Not sure how I feel about this town slip as I am the only one to have noticed it. But I think Gentleman 1 is probably town.
