Unfortunately I do not have a lot of experience in nightless games and what experience I do have is limited, but in my limited experience the scum generally have SOME way to influence a kill or something. Lynches are generally thought of as town-favored, if only slightly.

Take War in Heaven's rage points for example of a scum ability that might not be a night kill to balance a nightless game.

My credentials are inadequate to truly balance a nightless game or understand their influence enough to judge and/or break them. I could give my guesses, but in the end they wouldn't be more than that.

However this isn't a nightless game, and so therefore it would not be balanced as such, though it might be somewhere in the middle, I do still believe that the Night kill is VERY important to the scum, enough so that a doc would be important.

But now that I think about it, a Doc makes more sense because of the possibility for multiple Night kills, he might be the town "failsafe" in such an event.

The important data point here is that an 18-player vanilla nightless game - where the scum have no kill whatsoever - would be balanced at 5 scum.

Night kills are not as important to the scum as you think. Scum missing one night kill due to a doc would not be a huge swing in the game.

This theoretical discussion is boring.

I don't expect to die overnight, but if I do, do yourself a favor and reread my setup analysis. Or just the tl;dr: tajo's claim is fake.

vote: no lynch

And with that, the town has decided to not lynch.

It is now night.

The town wakes up in the morning of day 5, to discover that everyone is still alive.

8 alive, 5 to lynch.

Edit: Deadline for day 5 will be 4 weeks from now, June 28, at 5:54 PM EST.

Unvote

Actually maybe the no-kill is because Empking protected someone? (:P)

I'll wait and see

Or because the scum want us to think Empking protected someone.

yer, to be honest I find that quite likely, it would just mean that Empking has ripped off yet another aspect of my play in Past Ages Mafia

Elvis

ortolan · Post Post #3017 (ISO) » Mon Jun 01, 2009 12:43 am

so that means elvis is town, correct?

Empking · Post Post #3018 (ISO) » Mon Jun 01, 2009 12:44 am

I think so.

ortolan · Post Post #3019 (ISO) » Mon Jun 01, 2009 12:44 am

but the fact there was no kill means you protected correctly...

When people say please don't lynch me, I always think it would be funny to lynch them immediately.

But I guess we can wait until tomorrow...

Aren't you surprised that I went from wanting to kill you, back to "let's lynch tajo"?
