Mini 1198 - Marketplace Mafia - Game Over

[GreyICE]

None of those abilities are horribly anti-town, at the moment.

If 'mystery bidder' wins the vote freeze, we can just not vote at/near LyLo until we're CERTAIN (which we should be doing anyway wtf). Vote freezing isn't gonna change anything when there's THIS MANY town. Hitman's obnoxious, 'tis true, but I think we can control the NK for the foreseeable future, especially with money pooling and FRC.

Blind bid is irritating, but I think fails to be more than that.

Bulletproof is like... lol, mystery person wins bulletproof, townie shoots them, we're like 'who do we lynch I wonder...'

LLD getting gravedigger is fine with me, but I'll wait for Ethos, Seacore, and Voided to comment. With an advertised Gravedigger, we can work out WLC and IceGuy's powers, meaning we have a full list of scum powers.

Do we vote on which corpse she digs? Personally I don't much care, but there's an argument she should dig WLC just in case she's IceGuy's partner and knows he died with nifty on him. Not super likely, but I can be paranoid

[Ethos]

Basically what this accomplishes is locking the mafia out of jacking up our prices, thus getting everything we need for cheap. The only way this could be faked is if scum raised the bid themselves, and idk if that is even possible?

[GreyICE]

Oh and:

Vote: ChaosOmega

I don't think he gave a FUCK who we lynched yesterday.

Pedit: Blind Bid? I dunno. I know it would ANNOY me, but with only one scum, a mass claim of who got what and for what price might actually even be pro-

town.

Scum would have a hard time using it to cloak bidding on pro-scum powers, as they'd have to claim their bids and if someone claims to have not bid at all when several anti-town options were won by scum, well, we'd have a definite suspect.

It'd be different with 3-4 scum left, of course, but in this situation I just can't see having one scum having access to the cash reserves to bid on town powers AND bid on scum powers.

[malpascp]

Who are you targeting Lady? Perhaps WLC?

The FLC bidding idea is greatacular. I suggest Newman to do so.

It is not possible to one single person to raise the bid.

[Ethos]

No, I mean can a mafia already bidding on an item outbid themselves? Because then that shits on my whole plan of clearing people. A mafia we forced to bid could just jack up the price to cleat themselves.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Well, I guess I'll claim this.

I have an Auction Investigator power. That'll help us find out if teh scums are outbidding us~

[Ethos]

There is so much win in this thread my nuts hurt.

Last scum is almost surely between Pere and Chaos, I have a gut town read on mal and so does Reg.

[malpascp]

The biding system is always the same: you make a bid, if it is the biggest one the current bid is the 2nd bid +1. If someone makes Maximum bid= X$, and then makes Maximum bid= X+Y$, the current bid won't change.

[Ethos]

Alright, I will just make sure with the mod but if this is true then we can't lose this, not like we will anyway.

Hey Mr. Mod Sir, can someone outbid themselves on an item?

[malpascp]

@LLD: that is great. That way, we can investigate 2 people at the same time. We should make two scummy, but unlikely scumbuddies to bid on it and to get investigated by you, respectively.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

There is so much win in this thread my nuts hurt.

Last scum is almost surely between Pere and Chaos,

I have a gut town read on mal

and so does Reg.

GEE, WHO WAS SAYING THIS ALL YESTERDAY.

AND WHO WAS CONSTANTLY QUESTIONED FOR IT?

YEAH.

[Magua]

Hey Mr. Mod Sir, can someone outbid themselves on an item?

Someone can specifically choose to do this, yes.

Rules Clarification:

I am clarifying III.4.e:

Maximum bids function like eBay -- the current bid will always be $1 more than the second highest bid, or, to put it another way, if you are winning the auction, you are always bidding the minimum amount required to do so. If another player bids higher than the current bid, but less than or equal to your maximum bid, you will remain the highest bidder and the current bid will be raised appropriately.

Clarification: The maximum bid mechanic is to reduce work for the moderator. A player may always choose to bypass the maximum bid mechanic and directly bid a specific amount, rather than the minimum required to win.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

OH BTW.

NO ONE IS TO BID ON THE BLIND BID POWER.

[malpascp]

Damn it. If noone talked about this, I bet the remaining scum wouldn't remember. SHIIIIIIT

[Ethos]

I am sensitive pls do not make me cry.

Alright, we need to organize bidding NOW, and speed lynch soon. I say we make Chaos bid on Chairman, lynch Pere, give night kill to Newman and force him to shoot chaos.

One of Grey;LLD takes Gravedigger.

[malpascp]

LLD takes Gravedigger. She asked for it first

Agree with Chaos biding on Chairman; but I really want to lynch Newman today...

[Lady Lambdadelta]

I've got GraveDigger Ethos.

GI, you should take the BulletProof. Keep it out of scum hands/

[Ethos]

Newman is least likely out of those three imo

Also mal is town

Its one of those three, gg. We win.

[malpascp]

Err...

I think someone is already biding on BulletProof

[malpascp]

@Ethos: if Newman is the scum, we will be 3 town short until you have him as your scummiest read. Is just too much.

[Ethos]

2 Town.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Who's bidding on the BP?

P-Edit: Not really Mal. There's only 1 scum left vs. 9 town.

[malpascp]

Yep, 2 town. Tipping error.

I am biding on BulletProof. I can tell you my Max bid if you want.

[malpascp]

But thinking better, someone can have the N1 kill.

[Ethos]

Seacores question should be are the only threats to the town 2 (Mafia team number 1) and 2 (Mafia team number 2).
