Metropolis: Revisited [Game Over]

In support of voting. Striking alone accomplishes nothing.

Vote: Wraith

Why are you not voting Wraith Magua?

Vote: Wraith

Good idea.

[Magua]

Because I'm also of the opinion that going for a breaking strategy is just bad sportsmanship and an unenjoyable game. I just PM the mod instead of bringing it up in thread.

This makes it so that you can only put one player above the 60% threshold, but you can roleblock two people per day effectively if you don't want to kill either of them (well, really, you can kill one and roleblock the other in some cases, but only on days when the percentages line up exactly. This was on purpose). Doing it this way shouldn't really affect endgame, because 4/6, 3/5, 3/4, 2/3 will all still come out to greater than 60%. The 60% being different than the 50% majority only affects down to 7 players, where four players only constitute a 57% majority, which will not be enough. After that, however, the "lynch threshold" for this game will be for all practical intents and purposes no different than a 50% majority. Again, this was on purpose.

It doesn't work like RC says -- you cannot roleblock and lynch someone, because it requires *greater* than 40% to roleblock and *greater* than 60% to lynch.

You've got 24 players, so 24 strikes D1. 40% of 24 is 9.6 => 10, 60% is 14.4 => 15. So 15 strikes will lynch someone, 10 will roleblock them. So D1, we can either lynch one person, or roleblock two.

If RC changes it to be greater than or equal, then on days where the # of living players is divisible by 5, we can lynch *and* roleblock. But, D1 will not be one of those days regardless.

Whoops, my wording was faulty once again.

It should be "greater than or equal to," or, 40%+/60%+.

It's now been updated in the rules. Carry on.

[Albert B. Rampage]

Now the question that begs to be asked: on which days can we roleblock and lynch?

[DrippingGoofball]

Also, can we know ReaperCharlie's alignment? You forgot to mention it.

[Magua]

Now the question that begs to be asked: on which days can we roleblock and lynch?

As I said in my previous posts: Days where the number of living players is evenly divisible by 5.

Eg, 20 players: 40% to roleblock => 8, 60% to lynch => 12, can both lynch and roleblock.

@ DGB:

ReaperCharlie,

a poor, unfortunate

Citizen of Metropolis

, has been killed in cold blood!

... but I was actually a Death Anti-Miller. Shhhhh

Bookmark / note this.

I like this Magua character.

With only one strike per person, we essentially have the choice of RBing 2 players, or lynching 1, except on the rare days where the percentages work out perfectly (which is, as Magua said, when the number of players is a multiple of 5).

Also HOLY CRAP YOU PEOPLE POST QUICKLY. (I may also be distracted. A little bit.)

wasnt I recently just "caught" for making this same mistake?

obviously it was a joke...I mean who cares about the mod alignment....what I wonder is in the joke, was there actually a slip?......

nah, dgb is too good for that....right?

You know what won the game for town in Frenzy mafia? A ThAdmiral wagon. A ThAdmiral wagon is

always

a good plan.

Vote:ThAdmiral

Actually you were. The fact that others argued it was just an honest mistake doesn't eliminate the fact that you slipped as Mafia in Cyclic.

VOTE: Wraith

The dynamics of one vote / day definately will change how scum-hunting is done in later days. It's going to be fairly impossible to do anything related to V/CA unless Reaper is a kind Overlord and regularly tracks "Votes"

I suppose now we wait to see what dead body drops from the sky ...

It wasn't a very good joke. Tough crowd in here.

Vote:ThAdmiral

NB: Thadmiral was town in Frenzy mafia, was wagoned twice but didn't get lynched, and thereafter was influential in lynching the rest of the scum.

[Exe]

and thereafter was influential in lynching the rest of the scum.

Uhuh..right after I discovered the connections between the obv volo and the less obv tragedy and shotty. :IGMEOY:

[Exe]

aww didn't make the smiley I intended...

[Magua]

UT, please elaborate on the scumslip you see in DGB's #55. I don't like either Kublai Khan's or curiouskarmadog's reactions to it as well. Oddly enough, fine with ThAdmiral's reaction.

In the meantime: VOTE: Untrod Tripod

[Magua]

Pseudo-Vote Count 1.1

With 24 players alive, it will take 15 strikes to lynch someone.

Wraith (3): Albert B. Rampage, Friend, MagnaofIllusion
DrippingGoofball (2): ThAdmiral, Untrod Tripod
Kublai Khan (1): AGar
ThAdmiral (1): Exe
Untrod Tripod (1): Magua

My gut doesn't like the tone of this post. So let's have some fun...

that was that game...this is a completely different game, your thoughts on DGB's comment?

WTF? what was wrong with his tone that not only made you ignore the vote system, but to strike out on page 3?
