You'd have to be Crazy to try and kill the king.

This confuses me. How are we to find the assassin if, according to optimal play, all we do is talk theory?

armlx, you want to say anything before I hammer?

Korts · Post Post #55 (isolation #3) » Wed Aug 13, 2008 10:11 am

K, that's settled.

unvote, vote: armlx

You "liked" it? Does that mean that you thought he's the assassin, or just that it looked shiny?

I think armlx's original idea is good, because outed non-kings are as good as dead as far as the assassin's choice is concerned, and until they are lynched, we don't actually know whether they're outed guards or the outed assassin.

Hmm. I'd go with Ceph.

Vote: Cephrir

was supposed to be more like a "Likes Armlx idea, but i agree wih armlx. If we keep an "outed" guard alive, then if/when the assassin dies, thats one less person he/she has to think about to use their vengence kill on." and then I would have voted you. Can't even think why I typed it the other way and actually submitted it.

If that's some kind of logic behind your vote, I'm not following it. If it's not, you're restating valid points, which doesn't hurt.

I'm jumpier yet you're not voting me.

I didn't find you jumpy, I saw you as following reason. Crazy, however, voted you the moment you voted him.

armlx really didn't have to do that, it wasn't that clear. Also, the vote hopping is really dumb. We need to go a lot slower here, we're giving away info.

Vote: Crazy

Way to be a hypocrite.

Great.

unvote, vote: Crazy

Yes, you're pretty much proven not to be king, but you can still be either assassin or guard.

Korts · Post Post #99 (isolation #13) » Thu Aug 14, 2008 9:06 am

God, I need to rest. I thought I was voting Cephrir.

Korts, why did you vote for Ceph at the beginning?
Bul, what the frak with forcing the Crazy lynch?

Both of you earn FOSes.

Cephrir wrote:Talking isn't antitown. Too much can be, but I agree that random speedlynches are bad play. It kinda makes the game not mafia, too, which is lame. Policy lynching anyone who gets above X votes is probably good though, much as it would be fun to put the king at L-1 for no reason.

Hum, the majority is actually informed in this setup. I guess that's kinda the point.

This post strikes me as scummy. I can't figure out how, but it does.

explaining it would defeat the whole point of the vote

Korts · Post Post #127 (isolation #19) » Fri Aug 15, 2008 10:05 am

[quote="wolframnhart"]oi.. so we have kal who says he has "reasons" for voting mirth and wants to leave it at that, and we have you voting me imlying that your vote has secret reasons you don't want to share.

Think i will just

vote KaleiÐoscøpe

because I don't like the way he posted his answers, very snobbish. I would vote Kort but even though I don't like his answers, at least he gave more then one word.[/quote]

This post is fail, if not outright scummy. Basically K-scope and I did the same thing and yet he is the scummier for being "snobbish"? More words=more townliness equation is wrong.

Can you provide statistical proof? Let me rephrase that: do you have enough experience to have seen enough unhelpful scum vs. unhelpful town for a claim like that?

Korts · Post Post #137 (isolation #21) » Sat Aug 16, 2008 7:31 am

Or me!

@neko: only the second post. Mirth asked why I voted Ceph in the first quote, and I answered with the second quote.

Mirth, if we're talking about yesterday, you'd be just as good a lynch.

The wolf=best bet, vote elsewhere part? no contradiction there. See second sentence.
