Barry Presents: WS Mafia 3 "The Revival" Game Thread

[Smart Marx]

I'm aware, though it only translated to forums proper in the early naughties. Irregardless, you can't just cite a (unevidenced) statistic as proof that *this game* must have a cop.

Not proof, but a statistical probability that it would.

For me if 99.9999% of games have cops, you need the strongest case of all time to get me to lynch one.

If you want to go back to yesterday, I’ve made dozens of posts outside this to why I don’t think it makes any sense for Sky to have faked it at that point, to confirm Blaine who was town, and from your perspective CP who you think is town and not cover for a single teammate.

Not to mention immodestly bus her teammate TP.

No way you slice does Sky equal mafia here.

 

[Smart Marx]

But we absolutely must lynch today! For er, reasons!

We must lynch because we have a copped scum lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

Well if this is the case there should be no issue with a no lynch then, no?

the issue is were one less town, its the exact same state of play - . ur not going to trust skys results anyways so how in anyway does a no lynch change your view on anything. it doesnt

 

[Smart Marx]

Of course. To be honest, I was expecting a vague "uh, well, we can't know for sure" so points for picking an angle at least.

I mean, I doubt they’re so bad that they can’t manage to figure out to block the doctor lol

Okay well I'm sure you have the stats to hand to evidence 99.9999% of games having cops then.

...no?

Anyway let's stick to the point. We've established that, for the sake of argument, there is nothing lost by no lynching here for the townies that aren't what, you and Sky? Nothing lost for you two either, just that it's redundant for you two.

Can you explain why you're asking players to risk the game to avid *redundancy* for two players here? Because I can make the case for the scum motivation quite easily. Town motivation? Less so. Ball is in your court.

 

[Comrade Khan]

so your argument is essentially no lynch today, then lynch me tomorrow. because nothing will change, except scum need to convince 1 less person to vote with them, and tomorrow as long as one vot go down on a town from another town, they can bum rush to gg

Well it's not about changing my view is it? Try actually reading what is being said - you're betting the game for no reason when you have a more secure win by no lynching.

Who the fuck said we'd lynch you tomorrow?

so if its not about changing your view, and your still going to go after sky tomorrow - how will your argument change to try to convince town to vote with you. answer the question

I’ve been playing mafia for like eight years on the Internet and long time before that in real life and I’ve only played like maybe two games that didn’t have a cop, and again both of those games had numerous other replacing info rules, as well as 1 million other roles, cause they were role madness games.

The fact that you’re still arguing this makes me even more sure that you’re not being genuine because you’re aware of the most games have cops like you don’t need me to prove that to you.

 

[Pendex]

It's a comedy. It has to be a troll.

 

[Comrade Khan]

we are in mylo for 2nd nday in a row. trying to lynch scum is not 'throwing the game'' lol obviously if ur town lynching u is throwing the game but we dont know ur alignment .

also im not wasting more time doing this no lynch song and dance. we lynch scum or we lose, idc lol

 

[Leon TrotSky]

It's a comedy. It has to be a troll.

When you've got no arguments left, accuse them of trolling

 

[Pendex]

Well my argument isn't going to change, beyond the evidence (if cp is killed for example, well there's my case for me!) - it's about forcing the scum team to make a suboptimal decision - literally nothing is lost! Tough concept, I know.

Annecdotal evidence

Dismissed!
