Exageration is not a good thing in a Mafia game. It makes it seem like you're manipulating facts to push an idea...

listen Heph.

Stefl simply posted a list of people who hadn't posted along with the recency of their presence.

HOW? How is attacking the discussion any kind of a response to stefl's post. Please enlighten me. I understand that the discussion is bad, but how is the quality and tone of his response, relevant as a response?

I'm not reading deeply into it, I'm simply pointing out what I see.

I see a good post...one that I myself was wondering about but too lazy to look up, and then an aggressive comment as a response.

Well i could be wrong too, but i think you gave too much meaning to his words.... mostly cause i agreed on the level of the discution.... and you don't know the player yet so i though it was a bit premature.

As  i said (or thought? :p), i understand his safe vote on you for the same reason, he doesn't know your playstyle.

Wait, you can't be serious, you're really even analyzing a possibilty of 7 mafia? That's...what a waste of time.

And yes, the number of mafia should definitely influence our course of action.

Given there are 5 mafia, there are 16 town (for the sake of the analysis, I'll assume it's a real Vanilla game and thus no SK, no vigs and such), if we don't lynch mafias, we'd lose by getting to 5-5. That means, we'd lose after 11 townies have been killed. Let's analyze

If we mislynch today, we'd be 14-5 by tomorrow (all this assuming doctor doesn't protect correctly)
Day 3: 12-5
Day 4: 10-5
Day 5: 8-5
Day 6: 6-5

That means we'd see 5 more days worst case

On the other hand, by not lynching today

Day 2: 15-5
Day 3: 13-5
Day 4: 11-5
Day 5: 9-5
Day 6: 7-5

So we wouldn't see any more day because we'd lose before the start of Day 7

Hence, the conclusion of my post is that not lynching today doesn't give us any advantage, hence, it's convenient to lynch someone today.

That's a good thing you can get by analyzing the number of mafia

I'll hop into this discussion against my better judgement but while highly probable the number of Mafia members in the current game can't be consider fact at this point.

and you don't comment on anything else I said.

I'm starting to get annoyed Heph.

I feel like you're pressuring me into chilling out, and aren't responding to ANYTHING I've said, just saying superficial things like, "you're reading too  much into it".

I feel like I'm being raped, and there's a hand over my mouth, and a whisper saying "it's ok. It's ok. It'll be over soon. Shhhhhhhh.. Shhhhhhhhhhhh it's ok". XD

well my reaction when reading that was that it wasn't an answer but a comment, with which i agreed.

_ they don't post

_ duh! the discution is crap

i'll point you to my only post before this where i used facetious (and meant it in its 3rd definition: lacking serious intent; concerned with somethingnonessential), to show he wasn't alone thinking this.

not attacking your investigtions... on my part it was mostly the 5 scum debate ^^

well I thought stefl's post was relevant. There WAS bad discussion, and so, there might be scum just letting us lash out at each other and staying silent. That's a normal scum reaction.

It's good to know these things, and hard to keep track of when there are 20 other people to watch.

I felt that Stefl's post voiced my own concern. Mafia might be watching us fighting amongst each other.

The response by Gniz seemed to me more like "why should they post, TOWNIES are clueless"

ah sorry, your logic is sound but i believe you shouldn't have revealed it yet. hence why i didn't comment.

oh and it was xzen commenting on gow, not links.

linkz did actually make a comment on it.
