Vetteman94 said: Of course that chart, if done correctly, is going to show the worse possible case, but your chart does not show that. You didnt include the possibility of SK and his kills only being townies. Which is the worse possible case for us townies, well maybe not for you. It wouldnt matter if the SK would take out a mafia or not because he has a high chance to, because it wouldnt fit in with the reason for the chart. |
Including the SK in the chart is needless complication for a game where one might or might not exist.
Ok let's take another look assuming one SK 4 mafia and 12 townies.
D1:mislynch 4-1-11
N1:2 townies 4-1-9
D2: mislynch 4-1-8
N2: 2 townies 4-1-6
D3: mislynch 4-1-5 (although even to mafia, no end due to 2 groups having night kill abilities)
N3: IF
SK kills townie, and mafia kills townie: game continues
SK kills townie, and mafia kills SK: game over
SK kills mafia, mafia kills townie: game continues
SK kills mafia, mafia kills SK: game continues
Now, let's check no lynch on day 1:
D1: no lynch 4-1-12
N1: 2 townies 4-1-10
D2: mislynch 4-1-9
N2: 2 townies 4-1-7
D3: mislynch 4-1-6
N3: IF
SK kills townie, mafia kills townie: game continues
SK kills townie, mafia kills SK: game continues
SK kills mafia, mafia kills townie: game continues
Sk kills mafia, mafia kills SK: game continues
As you can see, nearly everytime the game will continue on to day 4 and will require town to correctly lynch the next 4-5 days in a row, which is nearly impossible. The only way the game ends before day 4, is if we mislynch all three days and then mafia and SK kill town the first 2 nights, and on the third night SK kills a townie and mafia kill the SK. So, considering the worst possible scenario, the difference between lynching today and not lynching today is very much negligible.
EDIT: my point is, if we don't lynch today, we are only allowed 2 mislynches, whereas if we lynch today, we are allowed 3 mislynches. Either way, we have the same amount of leeway tomorrow. The worst possible scenario is also nearly impossible as there will be doctoring, and there will be copping, and there will be SK killing mafia and vice versa.
