So if suspicion arises that X and Y are mafia together, we could test the theory by passing the treestump to X and telling them to pass it to Y. If random person Z gets the treestump ability, then X and Y are mafia together (or Z is lying, which in the treestump's case, can be tested by having them vote someone). Notes: fails epically if mafia happen to have a bus driving ability.
Acutually, come to think of it, if there is an ability that affects the way abilities are passed (i.e. bus driving) it could be bad early and late on, and something like that is decently likely to be present considering how well it would fit with the mechanic.
MOI's strategy is great for helping to eliminate scumlinks but I think the combination of these two principles is just as powerful. The two together should be fairly useful.Narsis wrote:let me say that MoI's confirmation strategy is the best town strategy for a game like this.
secondly, i wonder why you guys are all worried about mafia having a bus driver or roleblocking ability. abilities are passed each night, so even if they have such an ability one night, they won't have it again the next night. so in the case of the treestump: do what implosion suggested, but if a town player gets a bus driver ability and the stump wasn't passed to player Y, then simply rinse and repeat the next night.
Having played whith chkflip several times, this and his second post both seem a little out of character and it raises suspicions.chkflip wrote:lul allyourbasearebelongtous.

Right now I really don't like popsofctown mostly because his comment about feeling 'strawmanned' when there exactly 0 people voting him or even implying that he's scummy. This seems a little paranoid to me when all people are doing are questioning his strategies.

PS Sorry for the lurking, I was expecting really low activity being early on day one and a holiday so I didn't check for a day or two, won't happen again.
