My rule is somewhat broader: You always lynch anyone who votes themself.Unvote, Vote: BM
Good luck with that.
Unvote, Vote: Puta Puta
Cop in both your games? Seems a bit far-fetched to me.

Xylthixlm, the key to this is, what happens if he/she/it is a scum masquerading as a cop? We still have him/her on the rack. You can't hope to go a long way in a large game by claiming cop on D1. If Puta Puta is scum, it doesn't matter when we get rid of her, it just matters whether we do; but in case she is a cop, we don't want to lynch her right now. It's not as if we are in a LyLo or something right now.Xylthixlm wrote:I'm really, really trying hard to convince myself to unvote Puta Puta in case he/she/it is a real cop.
So far it's not working.I'm back!-

I can't help but agree to this BM, but I don't see lynching Puta Puta as a proper play. I mean, you may get lucky and find that she is scum, but you may get unlucky and find out that she is indeed a cop. But, we won't lose anything by saving her lynch for later if she is scum, but we will lose quite a lot by lynching her right now if she is a cop.BM wrote:Cop in both your games?

You are, of course, absolutely correct, and I would unvote Puta Puta if it wasn't for the fact that he/she/it is self-voting. My view is that anyone who is self-voting must fall into one of three categories:
(1) Scum
(2) A townie or third party who has a good reason to get themselves lynched
(3) A townie who is not playing to win
I choose to act as though no one would be in category 3, as it is a violation of forum rules, and therefore lynching someone who self-votes is always the correct action.#mafia@irc.globalgamers.net

I see at least one other game where he/she/it threatened to self hammer but got hammered before he/she/it could do it, and was revealed as an insomniac cop. (check his/her/it's posting history)Xylthixlm wrote: I choose to act as though no one would be in category 3, as it is a violation of forum rules, and therefore lynching someone who self-votes is always the correct action.
The best we can do if he/she/it is not scum is to hope we keep him/her/it alive long enough to get him/her/it bored enough to ask for replacement.I'm back!-

I choose to assume that everyone is following the forum rules, and use that to guide my play. I don't think it's an unreasonable policy.
Selfhammering as cop is a reason to be banned from future games, not a reason to be coddled.#mafia@irc.globalgamers.net

We don't live in a utopia. (besides, he/she/it didn't actually self hammer, just threatened to)Xylthixlm wrote: I choose to assume that everyone is following the forum rules, and use that to guide my play. I don't think it's an unreasonable policy.

btw, I don't have any problem with giving Puta Puta the win if he/she/it is a jester. If you are, just claim it, and I'll hammer you if needed. It will be much better to the town that way if that is the case.I'm back!-

It probably breaks into subcategories just like the town case. For some reason I have a hard time worrying about scum who aren't playing to win when I'm town.Sir Tornado wrote:Ok... just curious, why would scum want to self vote again?#mafia@irc.globalgamers.net

See specifically this post by Mr. Flay which sums up my position on self-voting quite nicely.#mafia@irc.globalgamers.net

I agree with this post.Sir Tornado wrote:Xylthixm, have you heard of Village Idiots?
Okay, that's enough mafia theory. Time to either lynch Puta Puta or start a bandwagon on killa seven.#mafia@irc.globalgamers.net

I am really struggling to believe Puta, and I'd love to lynch him. But Sir T's point is valid; even if he is scum, we have him pinned anyway. There's only so long you can fake being a cop for.Puta Puta wrote:I'm a cop. I don't remember (if any) who I investigated O_O
either I didn't sent in a name for investigation or I did but something happened, cuz I never got a report, lol
I'm still happy with my vote on OGML, but am prepared to switch to killa seven if he wants to be useless as well.
