Balcerzak Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) The presidents had gathered around the body of Richard Nixon.

Sham Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 ##Vote: Return of the Dragon Hey buddy, I think you got the wrong door. The leather club's two blocks down. I think the cop should strip as soon as possible and reveal his identity right here in the ring. Mafia has no roleblocker or strongman, so it guarantees we pull off at least one investigation; more if scum fails to immediately NK the doc. Even though investigation results aren't 100% accurate, a town scan is a guaranteed innocent due to the lack of a Godfather, and the cop himself nets us a town clear as soon as he claims. Also, if we have the cop hammer every day after that claim, it'll make it impossible for the Snitch to out the doc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sham Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Why, because it's the best course of action for town and you don't want Town to win the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Kirisame Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 except it clearly isnt mafia have possible cops to help them narrow down who the doc is, if doc dies night 1 cop has a whole 1 investigation that might just be that somebody is town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sham Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 A mafia investigation isn't a total waste of an investigation since we can game it after a few scumflips, particularly if death millers get NKed. If you wanna argue that scum might luck out and NK the doc N1 (they'll need luck if the cop hammers) then I'll point out that if the cop doesn't claim then we're vulnerable to scum NKing it N1 if they do a good job hunting for PRs anyway. Also, if the cop's cool and out of the closet then that gets us a confirmed town voice D1 which is always useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivier Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Another problem could be the mafia claiming cop and then we all end up rallying behind the mafia which creates problems of its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Kirisame Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 i just dont see how a cop outing themselves with no results is beneficial to the town on day 1. maybe after some results but all of the mafia power roles have a way of helping them narrow down the doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sham Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Another problem could be the mafia claiming cop and then we all end up rallying behind the mafia which creates problems of its own. If some jabroni wants to pretend he's the cop then we have guaranteed scum between two players once he gets counterclaimed, and if we lynch the scum instead of the cop then well that's just fuckin' fabulous for us. Otherwise we trade the cop for a guaranteed scum lynch and a bunch of associative tells based on who voted the real cop, which actually isn't so bad. Where's your vote?

Olivier Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I'm holding the vote until more people talk unless there's been some sort of rule against it? I'm not too familiar with how you all do this. But it won't necessarily be associative votes because townspeople will be taking a shot in the dark meaning if you hammer you run some risks that are associated with the counterclaim situation.

Refakitty³ Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 It's a viable plan. Until the mafia can narrow down who the doc is, all protection is on the cop for the duration of the game, or at least for as long as the doc is alive. We will not have to worry about our cop dying, and the cop may then freely lead us with their investigations. However, there are quite a few reasons why it is not the best course of action. For one, if the mafia does happen to weed out the doc through investigation or they just get lucky, we're fucked out of a cop and a doc. Second, if the mafia assumes that the doc is going to be only on the cop the entire time, they get safe kills on people that they know will not be protected. Third, I am not exactly pleased with the follow-the-cop mentality that this type of strategy will encourage. We need to all work together rather than rely on our cop. I feel there may be more I had to say on the matter, though I cannot recall. I do enjoy the intentions of the plan; however, the risks incorporated with it deter me somewhat from putting the idea in practice. I feel it is up to our cop whether they wish to take the gamble, though. I do not feel malign intentions from either Doormat or Aniki for now, so ##Vote: Obama You should vote. I say this because both seem to have the town's best intentions in mind. Aniki wants our cop to be safe, while Doormat would rather the cop keep quiet and hide himself. If anything, Doormat's jumpiness might raise a few eyebrows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivier Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 ##Vote: Oserckalb I think there are definitely certain positives but it's still risky overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sham Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Votes and joke bandwagons tend to get people to talk, and we only have 48 hours of discussion. Granted it might be more ideal for the cop to wait until D1 progresses a little so that we have more to go on when deciding who's scum if there's a counterclaim.

Marisa Kirisame Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 cop could out themselves day 1 and be relatively safe, but i don't think it's worth anything, having a pseudoconfirmed day 1 before anything has happened means virtually nothing. i wouldn't mind so much if it was day 2 and they had some results, but outing themselves right now seems pretty pointless and just makes the mafia's job much easier @Obama, voting random people generally doesn't amount to much these days but it's more "i'm voting x for a stupid reason" until something happens that spurs discussion. nobody ever gets hammered in rvs, people aren't that nuts.

Refakitty³ Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Ahhh, right . . . mafia could take up the claim if they wanted. I would rather the cop risk it out for at least a night, until they at least have an investigation to work off of--especially an incriminating one. I'm not too familiar with how you all do this. This statement is . . . rather a stock phrase and a common scum defense. I do not trust players who put up fronts like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refakitty³ Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 You do not have to pull that as a defense. It sounds as if you're saying, "Go easy on me, I'm new/not certain how this all works/confused." It is an easy tactic to keep the heat off of yourself.

Olivier Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Perhaps I should specify that I haven't played on SF very recently and while I was around people generally didn't go with this vote immediately to prompt discussion on a wide scale. Aniki's plan doesn't really excite me at all but I don't generally hammer down people for their language though Petrichor is far more aggressive than what I've seen to be normal.
