Beginner Mafia Game #1

[minjae]

Yeah last one is too simple and would be too easy for mafia.

I think it's number one. That way it gets everyone aka "noobies" prepared for the more "advanced" games.
Me being included in it. Seeing that this is my second game.

Assassin, why do you say no lynch?

Isn't a no lynch, especially day 1 really beneficial for mafia?

I encourage all of you to read this thread as to why no lynch is a pretty bad idea for day 1.

Figured I'd repost this since the subject came up again.

Yes I sought out the probability of each situation. I just want to hear from assassin point of view, as it is pretty scummy.
If we were in day 3 or 4 with 7-8 players, I could see a NL being probable, but not day 1.

Without hard evidence we run the risk of killing a major townie if we rando lynch...which we would have to do because we have no evidence of anything else. If we do have a doc or a policeman they shouldn't say are (they become mafia bait and die that night) and we can't take the chance that we randomly kill them.

We have a 25% chance of hitting a mafia if the set up is 2 mafia to 6 town with a day 1 lynch, let alone if we even have a cop or doctor.
No lynch should be saved if there is a lead on who to target. It's risky, but we got to take our chances.

Since we don't have anything to go off of, lynching day 1 provides valid information such as "Yo, this guys a VT" or "This guy is a cop but didn't say jack shit in the end."

Helps figure out set up or we stumble across a mafia member before night even falls. It doesn't necessarily mean you cut out weak leads rather you're still going to end up finding some sort of info out of it. In our case, since we don't have the fancy flavor text, we can really just ask for motives on why somebody is voting for them or why they said what they said that seems out of line.

The close-lynch to Hoshiro would've meant another repeat of last game's day one where Hoshiro didn't really say anything and goes splat. It's not his fault, and it's not necessarily the "wrong" move to do. But it's weird seeing people accept their fate like that. It's like watching a vagalion (me) flying around the map getting ready to stab you after multiple left clicks and dashes through you. Yes you have a lace, but i give no fucks. You caught me and killed me? All you notice is I revive and come back as fast as I can because I give 0 fucks, and all you can do is scream "damnit wolf stahp pls, trying to kill your team."

I think I got it pretty close though, free to add anything if anyone sees fit.

And this is why i unvoted hosh. He's not a big threat. Unless he's playing a careless mafia. Which i doubt. I didnt want a repeat of last game.

Yeah I still thinking us randomly getting a mafia, isn't worth the risk of a loss of a cop or doctor. 1/4 isn't good enough odds for me to rando someone. I'll keep my vote the same, and just for the ref, I am a townie.

How are we so certain there is even a cop or doctor? I hope there would be, none would be too OP for mafia, but nothing is certain.

and just for the ref, I am a townie.

Lol, this.
