Checking in.
I agree that there's probably a way to break this game and we should try to find it. I'm not that sure that this includes going no lynch, however. The information we get from vote patterns may very well complement the information we get from night abilities, thus giving us a better understanding of the situation.

As for civilizations and UU, I think we cannot rule out a priori the possibility of there being Civ:PTW and/or Civ:Conquests in this game.

I agree with Puzzle here that number 1 is probably the best option, since there's not much scum can do about that without casting suspicion upon themselves.
The only problem might be if two scum wind up in a row, so that one is supposed to check the other, but I guess that changing the order everyday is a good way to solve that. It may waste us a few investigations, however, because if A succed in investigating B and finds him innocent, of course tells nothing about that the day after, and whoever checks B the night after is wasting his investigation.
I don't see a solution to this...

Sorry for lurking, I'm trying to follow the discussion but I find it very difficult in large games where there's a lot of people.
Anyway, what I think of the setup is what a lot of people has already said. That is, since we don't know what scum is able to do, we shouldn't go straight for no lynch. This assumes that scum is somewhat able to build untis or block someone's ability to do so and that's a fair thing to assume for the moment, I think.

As for a coordination of night actions, I still haven't made up my mind, but for the moment I don't see a reason why everybody shouldn't just build cops. I might understand the willingness to self-protect with doctors, but the point here is to win, not surviving, and we have to find mafia for that. I'm still not sure if it's better advancing to the next era or not, I'll think about that.

All that math gives me headache! (And I study math at the university, mind you..).
Since we don't have a deadline, I guess I could think a bit more about my vote.
unvote
it was more a way of trying to avoid the no lynch.

I think the best thing is to go after a lurker, this may sound a bit hypocritical from me, but I tried to give my thoughts on the discussion whenever I could post, while some other people just made a couple of contentless posts in the all game.

It may be easier to find scum tells in people that are actively participating in the game, but if they're pro-town they are a real asset for us, so we should wait before thinking about lynching one of them.

Yeah, actually I just realized that what I said doesn't make a lot of sense with my decision to unvote. What I meant is that I still want to go after lurkers, but we can think about it some more, since there's no more a deadline. I wasn't trying to say that swinkee was a valuable player.

I don't see anything particularly scummy about Puzzle. Vesuvan seems to be trying a bit too hard to find reasons to attack him, but he sounds quite pro-town to me too.
I guess scum are just waiting for an opportunity to jump on a discussion between two pro-town players and by that I mean that in my opinion some of the players that jumped on Puzzle's bandwagon following Vesuvan are scum.

unvote: swinkee
since that's pretty much useless.

I cannot counterclaim any of the players that claimed, if that's useful to know. I think we should really think if it's worth claiming as a defense, since there's not really much that we can get from a claim now. A part from a counterclaim there's no way I can see to tell the difference between a false claim and a true one.
And I don't think that we should let go anyone that is not counterclaimed.

I could vote for Emptyger, but I'd like an official vote count before.

I have to say I somehow overlooked that flavour thing, but that's a kind of thing that anyone that has played Civ3 knows. Of course scum cannot be sure that such an information is given in the townie PM, but it could very well have been a successful gamble.

I see where Puzzle is coming from: having people's reactions in addition to cop result may help us finding scum faster, but I think it's totally unnecessary. We have more than enough cop power to find all the scum anyway.

I see that armlx has already started, shall we go on or there's something else to debate first?

For example because since scum are probably lying about their result, they could adjust it depending on what I say.
I'm not sure what's better.

If anyone has an idea of what's better for the town, I will gladly comply.

Having heard your views on the thing, I guess the best thing is to reveal informations little by little in order not to give scum any advantage.
I would say that we go on with claiming result/no result and after everybody has said that, people with informations will share it.

What do you think?

Hi guys, I'm here.

First of all, I have to say to InHim that I'm really sorry, but I don't have much time right now. I can try to finish this Civilization Mafia game, but I don't think I can follow his mini. Feel free to replace me there.

As for the situation at hand, I wonder why Astronaut is speaking about two different scum groups. I mean: there's only been one kill a night up to now, so that doesn't seem very likely.

The first thing that came to my mind is that someone may have built a vig unit instead of the cop unit he was supposed to. If this is the case, I don't know if it's better to have him/her claim or keep his mouth shut.
One other possibility I see, is that scum can actually build units to have more than one kill a night. If that's the case, the situation might be worse than it seems.

As for how to do the result claims, I'm for going on the same way we did up to now, but I'll wait to see if there are good reasons to do differently.

Otherwise, I will probably say what I have to say in my next post.

Yeah, sorry, I had missed that. Anyway, our goal is to get rid of the scum, so if there's more than one group it doesn't really change the way we're playing this game (that is, going for mass investigations).

So, I'm telling:
No results last night.

Well, I have no intention to go back re-reading this 30-pages game, but I don't like the way Puzzle has been playing. I find him too impatient: he was always casting votes around without waiting for people to reveal their results.
So, since we have to go somewhere, I'd rather go with him than someone else, right now.

Yosarian2 is innocent according to my Caravel.

Lynch me if you really think I'm scum. I'm really getting bored here anyway, to be honest.
Logically, if Puzzle says he got an innocent on me, and d8P claims he got a guilty on me on me, either one of them made a mistake, or one of them are lying, or there's something wierd going on here. Puzzle is a dead townie, and therefore we can assume he was not lying. Normally, I'd assume d8p was scum at this pont, but i'm a bit confused that Astronaut claimes he's innocent.

Either someone screwed up somewhere here, or someone is messing with our heads, or d8p and astronaut are together trying the dumbest scum gambit ever.

Anyway, d8p, why would you even investigate a proven GG like me?
Wow, I really didn't remember that.
unvote: Yosarian

At this point, either Astronaut and d8p are scum together, either something fishy is going on.
I suppose we could test d8p's result on Lord Rahl at this point, instead of going with Yosarian, but I'll think a bit about it before casting my vote.

Hmmmm....

I am not sure about Astro and d8p, but I find it hard to believe that scum could build cop units, so either Astro is telling the truth, or Vismaior was scum with him (that would have been quite a gambit!).

That last possibility would give us a 4 person (or more) (2 dead + Astro and d8p, at least) scum group, able to build killing units.

Otherwise, if there's two scum groups, I would guess that none of them would have more than 3 people, so Astro and d8p couldn't be scum with the european barbarians.

I would say that the night events suggest the existence of 2 scum groups, so I would be inclined to trust Astro and d8p even if I can't really understand why d8p got a result on Yos that doesn't match Puzzle's one.

I would say that's a sanity issue more than a possibility-of-being-scum issue anyway, and lynching Lord Rahl would probably give us a better understanding of the situation.

I'm Gilgamesh of the Sumerians, my UU is Enkidu Warrior (1/2/1).

N1 I built a Horseman.
N2 I built a Enkidu Warrior and investigated Mr. Flay with my horseman getting a guilty result.
N3 Built another Horseman, protected myself with EW (as I did every night after that) and investigated Tyfo with no success.
N4 Built another Horseman, protect myself, investigated Akonas with 2, but no result.
N5 Teched up, protect myself, investigated Puzzle with 3 and got no result.
N6 Built a caravel, protect myself, investigated Yosarian with 3 and got guilty.

Yeah, you're right. I hadn't thought that if the scum groups each have 3 members, we could get rid of 1 nightkill by finishing off the European scum.

But I have no idea how we can be sure of which scum group he belongs to. We could go back and read to try and find connections with the dead scum, but I'm not sure this will give us enough evidence.

Anyway,

Actually, assuming two groups of 3 scum at the beginning, if we kill off the europeans, that would live us with 2 middle east and 3 townies.

That means that if no doc/vig action succeed next night, the middle east wins being 2 on 2 on the last day. So actually, it looks like it might be better for the town to kill a middle east.
But, if anybody has a 100% effective doc or vig unit, that changes things.

Anyway, I see no sure way to find which scum group Yos belongs to. (Or anybody that will be revealed as guilty, since not everybody has claimed yet.)

Well, since it's pretty much agreed on that we have two middle-east and one europe scum remaining, I'm quite convinced that the 3 scum are Yos, Akonas and Tyfo.

That said, I'm not really sure which scum group each of them belongs. It's maybe a bit too easy to say that Akonas and Yos are the Middle East Scum and Tyfo the European. Akonas' behaviour of today lends itself to all sorts of WIFOM arguments.

I'm not even sure that killing off the last European is the way to go, it depends on Inhim units' success percentage. That is, if no vigging or protecting is successful, killing the last Euro scum hands the game to the Middle East scum tomorrow. I would like to hear from Inhim about that.

You're a lying scum.

That changes things quite a lot. I thought I had everything figured out, turns out I was wrong, since Inhim is obviously scum.

I don't understand why Astro has an innocent result on you, and that makes me not so sure about Astro. But then again, Puzzle had an innocent result on Yosarian, so Astro could be town even in this case.

I really have to think this through.

Oh, just to hear some stories... what did you block? Yosarian's cities or units?

Ok, the first thing we need is a full claim from Kelly Chen.

Right now the only thing I'm 100% positive about is Inhim being scum.
I think Inhim is from the middle east scum group, and that counterclaiming me is part of a strategy with his partner. I don't think he would do such a thing if he were alone.

I'm running several scenarios in my head about all the others.
One possibility is Astro being scum with him, that would explain his claimed innocent result on Inhim, but not his guilty result on Vismaior.
If this is the case, we couldn't even trust the guilty result on Tyfo/Kelly Chen.

In any case, there seems to be something strange going on with the cop results, at this point I'm starting to have a slight doubt even on my guilty result on Yosarian, although I'm confident he is scum from what he wrote today.

So, given that Inhim is lying, there seems to be no 100% doc or vig unit out there, so killing off the euro scum is definitely not the play for today.
I think Inhim is middle east, so I would happily go with him.

Since it seems like nobody is going to say something meaningful,
vote: Inhim
, for reasons already stated.

I could picture myself voting for Yosarian, also.

Actually, I had a very specific reason for saying that; once I get one thing clarified from the mod, I'll explain.
Still waiting for the explanation... :roll: :roll:

This is false.

If you're part of the 2-person scum group (which is quite possible), assuming you and your partner are not going to vote for each other, we still have 4 votes to lynch one of you two.

Hmmmm, almost ready to change my vote.

I am 100% sure that InHim is scum, but I'm also 99% sure that you are scum.

The only logical reason not vote for InHim is that I am perfectly sure that you are scum and, at that point, one scum or the other doesn't really makes the difference, unless I find a way to tell who's European and who's Middle East.

Right now I'm sticking with InHim, as my vote says, but you just went up to 99,5%.

How can you be 100% sure inHim is scum, but only 99,5% sure of Yos? You yourself and d8p hva both have a guilty investigation on Yos, while the only reason you've got for suspecting inHim is that he claims to have a guilty investigation on you?
I beg your pardon?
What about the fact that InHim claimed my civ? :roll: :roll: :roll:

The 99,5% on Yos is just because there seems to be something going on with the investigation results (see Puzzle's result on Yos and your result on InHim).

I can see myself voting for Yosarian, if people don't follow me on InHim.

This is a WIFOM argument and the fact that it's you that made this remark (as opposed to someone else pointing it out), makes me pretty sure that you are actually a Middle East scum.

Might as well vote for you.

Kelly Chen wrote: I think Yosarian is likely to be scum, but not for defending himself... I don't think that argument was WIFOM. To me WIFOM means either way of acting costs scum the same. It's costly for scum to ditch a partner. It could be a gambit though.
Lord Rahl was pretty much dead at that point, it wouldn't have been that much of a gambit.

It's quite possible that InHim and Yos are scum partners.

So either you are scum, or InHim is part of the two man scum group. Which is it?
He's probably your scum buddy.

Ok, I see that this is not going anywhere, so I'll try to see what happens if I
unvote: InHim, vote: Yosarian
.

I hope that in this way we can converge to a lynch.
I'm convinced that InHim and Yos are the 2 remaining middle east scum, so as long as we lynch one of them, I am happy.

I may move my vote back to InHim as the deadline approaches, if the Yosarian lynch will not be supported.

The only one who claimed to have 100% effective units is lying, I don't want it to come down to hoping to choose the right target to protect AND hoping that a 40% probability turns out the right way.

Is the deadline already passed? I have a hard time translating the time from GMT to american time zones.

Anyway, hoping there's still time.

Just some thoughts copy/pasted directly from a discussion with Mr Flay after my death.
So, was it Akonas that vigged me?

On the last day it was clear to me, after Astro's claim, that Yosarian and Tyfo/Kelly Chen were the two other scum. If I had not claimed Inhim's Civ I would have probably managed to get Akonas lynched without too much trouble. I dunno what the roleblocker action would have been afterwards, but I would have killed Kelly Chen or Yosarian for sure.

After Inhim's claim, once it was apparent that one between me and him was lying, I had to change strategy. My main concern was the effectiveness of the roleblocking ability: I tried to gather some info about that with my question about the unit/city target, but didn't succeed. Even Yosarian comments after that were not enough.
If he could really roleblock two persons, one of them would have been me for sure, so I couldn't allow to let him live. On the other side, if the bombard ability didn't affect the mafia kill, I could have pushed more towards Yosarian, in order to start the night with 1 scum in each group.

Should I have let the day go with no lynch?
My reasoning was that, since I announced clearly that I knew Yos and Kelly Chen were scum before the fall of the night, they couldn't kill me otherwise on the last day there would have been two town against Yosarian and would have lynched him almost for sure.
I played for the draw, that is a last day with 1 scum of each group and 1 town so that nobody could effectively kill anybody else (I dunno what the mod would have done in such a situation).

Unfortunately, there were 3 kills last night, that means that someone used a vigging unit, so that screwed everything up.

Sorry if I bored you, just wanted to share my thoughts on the endgame.

Maybe I could have won it if Inhim wasn't the civ I claimed, but I couldn't win against a roleblocker who knew that I was scum.

Anyway, props to you for the idea of faking the result on Mr Flay.
