I think we should no lynch today and circle "protect" to figure out who the quack doctors are. The mafia will have a few obstacles:

1) They can't kill anyone being protected by a real doctor.
2) If we only have 3 kills, all three of those people are confirmed protown, and it's possible that a mafia will be killed in the process
3) As a result of 2, the mafia will have to kill someone they are protecting to make it seem like there are 4 quack doctors. Then, we have the mafia split into two categories: 4 quack doctors (1 of which is mafia) and 8 sane doctors (2 of which are mafia). That's 1/4 and 2/8(1/4) chances of finding them, which of course is still the same as we already have, with a few exceptions. We can now guarantee the separations and hold the mafia to specific claims after day 1. Plus, with 3 of the 4 kills being randomly assigned, we've got a 3/11+3/10+3/9 chance of hitting at least 1 mafia during night 1, which is a 90% chance of eliminating scum on the first night. That's pretty good odds.

This sounds right to me, but the correct strategy post-N1 needs to be altered in order to account for the fact that Quacks can't hit mafia.

If we circle-protect, then (depending on how many of the Quacks are preceded by Mafia in the player list) we will have somewhere between 1 and 4 NKs.

If there is 1 NK, then the best assumption is that all of the quacks hit Mafia and we lynch the player behind the lone kill, then reverse-circle protect the next night. 1 Quack will be revealed by the D2 lynch and the other two should be revealed by the next night's kills (also outing the two scum).

If there are 2 NKs, we lynch one of the two quack candidates (best assumption is that one is scum), and reverse circle-protect the next night (minus the confirmed quack, if applicable). I think that the numbers are enough for a good endgame for town, but I haven't run them fully.

If there are 3 NK's, we lynch one of the quack candidates (or a confirmed scum) and I'm not totally sure what to do the next night (I *think* that we reverse circle protect N2, but I am not sure).

If there are 4 NK's, then we have one group with 3 town and 1 scum and one group with 2 town and 2 scum, leaving us in a lylo

I think that the easiest way to sort out the circle protect is by player listing: each player should protect the player directly above themself on the player list.

With 12 alive, it takes 7 to lynch.

unvote vote no lynch

[vollkan]

The No Lynch circle strategy seems sensible. I agree with Tar that protecting the person above you is a good way to organise it.

Unvote, Vote: No Lynch

[Lulubelle]

Might as well hasten things along then.

Vote: No Lynch

[thedragonsprincess]

I think it sounds like the best solution we have at this point.

unvote vote no lynch

[vollkan]

That makes 7 votes.

I remind everybody to protect the person

ABOVE

themself in the list.

[Disciple Slayer]

Protecting TylerJ in advance.

[shaft.ed]

OK so we're going upwards then. Oh Man! that means I have to protect Oman, hope I'm a quack

[Oman]

You admiting you know I'm pro-town?

[Oman]

I'm pretty sure MoS' breaking strat can be broken, but I'd rather not reveal cause then the mafia will know it.

[shaft.ed]

You admiting you know I'm pro-town?

You have reason to believe you aren't pro-town?

I'm pretty sure MoS' breaking strat can be broken, but I'd rather not reveal cause then the mafia will know it.

And please don't as it seems we're already locked in for this day at least.

That doesn't even make any sense, especially in context of my line.

Whilst my vote will have absolutely no effect, it's staying on you.

[thedragonsprincess]

whats the point of voting still? didnt we already get a majority on no lynch?

[Crub]

What a friendly town this is! You all gather around and agree that you love each other so much that you're better of not lynching anyone today.

Final Vote Count:

No Lynch (7):

It is now Night 1. Day 2 will dawn a bit over 72 hours from this post or as soon as all night choices are in.

[Crub]

Maybe this town isn't so friendly after all. While most of you made it safely through the night, Vollkan, thedragonsprincess and Disciple Slayer aren't so lucky. Oh Noes they're dead!

It is now Day 2. With 9 alive it takes 5 to lynch.

[Oman]

I'm a quack.

[Mastermind of Sin]

Who targetted those three? Please claim it now.

You guys are such idiots. Why in hell's blazing inferno did you vote no lynch after poking a gigantic hole in my breaking strategy? Quack docs being unable to kill mafia completely makes that strategy useless, and you idiots ended the day anyways. WTF!?

FoS: people that voted No lynch after that was pointed out

[Oman]

How hilarious. Anyway, I targeted TDP, so I'm a quack.
