It's true we don't have much to go on but let's try to figure out why makingmusic was targetted:

1 - He was a relatively high profile player in the last big game (being the only townie left helped)

2 - He said something that rubbed the mafia the wrong way (the only statement he made that could fit was him noticing the WoW vs. Final-Fan debate)

3 - Mafia used random.org (I really hope that's not the case)



Signature goes here!

I stated that this was a vanilla game in the OP. There are only two factions, Town and Mafia.

there's still a cop and doctor though right?

That does not exclude the possibility of them, no.

I would like to maintain an odd number of people because then tie votes (which fail to lynch) won't happen, so it's easier to hang mafia.  i.e. a town of 4 and town of 5 both need 3 votes to hang someone.  If someone is going to throw a monkey wrench in that it's not a huge deal, but I don't need to bother trying to engineer the numbers in that case.  

Your logic is bad.

2 Mafia / 3 Townies = 40% Mafia
2 Mafia / 4 Townies = 33% Mafia
3 Mafia / 5 Townies = 38% Mafia

In every case, with the maximum number of mafia, an odd number of people gives them more voting power.

I screwed up what I was trying to say, which is why I made my later comment about not making sense.  

5 people need 3 to lynch, and so do 4 (or so I thought at the time).  So 5 people obviously has a better chance of living with 2 mafia.  But if you go to 6 people, you need 4 votes, so it's harder to get the unanimous town vote you'd need to get one of the two mafia.  

It's not about "voting power" per se, although now that I think about it YOUR logic is bad too.  If you need a unanimous town vote to lynch mafia, your "voting power" percentages are meaningless.  The power is effectively the same.  

But now Soleron says that tie votes will lynch IIRC, so that changes things.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

Hold up a sec, why did Supermario vote for me and why did Falcon vote for supermario yesterday?

Random.org. Too many decisions are made with it >.>



I won't be posting as much as I can. Threads here are taking some 5 minutes to lad, and it's starting to get annoying. -_-

Makingmusic getting killed didn't do anything.... so I'm-a gonna wait and see what happens in the thread for a decision.

Referring back to my original chart, we are now here:

4 Mafia
Players Day Players 5 Mafia
No Lynch on Day 1 18 1 18 No Lynch on Day 1
Lynch 1 17 2 17 Lynch 1
Lynch 1 15 3 15 Lynch 1
Lynch 1 13 4 13 Lynch 1
Lynch 1
11 5 11 Lynch 1
Lynch 1
9 6 9 Lynch 1 or Mafia wins (5)
Lynch 1 or Mafia wins (4) 7 7 7 Lynch 1 or Mafia wins (4)
Lynch 1 or Mafia wins (3) 5 8 5 Lynch 1 or Mafia wins (3)
Lynch 1 or Mafia wins (2) 3 9 3 Lynch 1 or Mafia wins (2)

Starting today we have 4-5 chances to nail a mafia member.

Let's look for anything that seems odd right now... like this:

2. Meh, was hoping an anti-town would be dead... We have basicly nothing to go with after that...

So Carl, were you hoping the mafia were going to shoot each other?  How does that work?
