Mini 188: Texas Holdem Mafia - GAME OVER!

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Mon May 02, 2005 7:00 pm

Post by LoudmouthLee »

At the world series of poker, we see that there are 12 players left, however, the players left have been taken over by their hands! Soon, some hands decided it was time to remove the other hands...

With that, we see that Texas Holdem Mafia is born. Will you be ALL IN or will you be folded?

Still in the Hand (2/12):

EmpTyger

Thok



Folded: (10/12)
Save The Dragons - KJo - Kojak - Cop

Bamboomancer - 55 - Speed Limit - Townie w/ Ability to Limit Posts

kristocker - AJo - Ajax - Doctor

rajrhcpfreak - KQo - Marriage - Double Voter

Iammars - 72o - Beer hand - Unlynchable and "Buy a Beer" hider

Dranko20 - 44 - Magnum - Mafia

Quagmire - K9o - Canine - Unnightkillable w/ a post restriction

Mastermind of Sin - AA - Bullets - SK

Aelyn - AKo - Big Slick - Mason

Thesp - AQo - Big Chick - Mason

The Rules (lifted from DP)

THE RULES:
[01] Have fun and don't be a jerk. Please have consideration for the other players and the mod, and actually PLAY the game by posting and voting.
[02] No communication outside the thread unless your role allows you to do so and then only in the game's nights.
[03] Get your choices in before the deadlines. If not, a random choice will be made for the first night, and no choice for subsequent nights.
[04] No quoting my or others PM's. No paraphrasing of winning conditions either.
[05] If you're dead YOU'RE DEAD. No more posting relevant information after that.
[06] Lynching will be carried out once a regular majority is reached - and cannot be undone by unvoting. If I impose a day deadline, lynching will require at least half of the regular majority. In case of a tie, first come first served. In the endgame (6 or less) only a real majority will result in a lynch.
[07] Only votes in BOLD will be counted. Please clearly unvote if you want to change your vote, although I will still count your vote if you don't.
[08] Do NOT edit or delete your posts! If you made a coding error, just post again.
[09] Do NOT post in invisible text.
[10] If you know you will not be checking the thread for a period of 72 hours or more, it would be nice if you would post that beforehand.
[11] If you're out of the game, you may come back as substitute - only if you do not talk to other players about the game after your death of course.
[12] The mod is always right. Accept the decisions, and if you want to discuss them, take it to email, or do so after the game has finished.


Please confirm your roles VIA PM and send Night 1 actions if you have them! Sun Rises on May 10th at 12pm EST

The only hand killed was Kojak (King-Jack) was Save the Dragon's hand. He was the resident cop.

With 11 alive, it will be 6 to lynch.


Are you all in?

Note: In this game, There are CERTAIN EXTRA RULES that you should know.


Voting is normal... except...

1. At ANY point, any player may go "ALL IN", and place their vote on a player.

The way to phrase it is
I'm all in against _____.


If the person is scum, congrats. That person is "vigged". If you are wrong, your hand WILL be folded.

This may only be done by one player per day.

Hi all. Bad news, we lost a cop. :cry:

Good news, we only lost one person, so there's probably only one scum group. Also, it's possible for town to lynch two scum in one day by going all in. In particular, this means the town can still win with two town versus two scum.

random vote: Bamboomancer
since I'm not sure how one can use magical bamboo.
I replaced into Chess Mafia for 6 months, and all I got was a win and this lousy sig.

. Just 'cuz.

It's also possible that with the "All in" rule, the mafia's been tweaked a little to give them a boost. Be on guard.

It seems like scum can't use the all-in effectively. (I'm guessing at what happens if scum goes all-in, but the wording implies it's not good for them in any case.) So it seems that the best strategy is instead of lynching someone, have them go all-in against someone. If there are multiple scum groups, that could conceivably confuse things, but that would be against the odds.

For example, let's say the town suspects A. When it gets to the point where he would be lynched, have A go all-in against some B. If A is scum, then the all-in must kill a scum. If A is innocent, then there is a chance B is scum, which saves B; if B is innocent, then A is dead- but that is what would have happened had A been lynched naturally. This way, we have a confirmed innocent, and another opportunity to lynch. The only thing to keep in mind is if A and B are both scum, but even in this case the town gets at least 1 scum killed.

Any other thoughts on all-in strategy?

Random OMGUS Vote: Bamboomancer


The following is very important:

I CAN ONLY POST FIVE TIMES TODAY!

If I post any more times I get modkilled. This is not part of my usual role. I just got a message from LML saying that I could only post 5 times. So I won't be very active, but I will try to make my posts count.

As for the all-in, my role PM mentioned it as well. I'm not sure if I can do an extra all-in or not. Was it mentioned in anyone else's?

...and I just lost a $30 pot with KJ suited. :( Talk about irony. BTW, partypoker rules.

I'm thinking a cop can easily make this all in thing advantageous to himself. He may find a guilty night 1, and go all-in and get vigged. But I don't see why he would want to be vigged rather than be a cop.

I'm wondering if mod is going to use the betting thing or muck technique in the game somewhere.

...And I just realized that the cop is dead. My bad, I guess that's what happens when you are in multiple mafia games. :p

First thought based on what we've seen so far. Iammars posted after EMP said that mafia couldn't go all in, then Iammars said his role PM contained All-In rules. Possible scum move, not sure, just trying to go on what's up so far.

More people need to post.

So, chip count seems to equal number of posts by that player (although I'm assuming from Aelyn's chip count that double posts count only once). That means people who post a lot might be scum trying to avoid all in. So,
FOS people who post a lot
. In particular, this makes Iammars' posting restriction reasonable, although I'm not sure why he would choose to tell everybody about it now.

Iammars, is it just me, or do you seem to get a lot of roles with restricted posting requirements? (Obviously don't answer these questions unless you feel you have something else important to say or you want to cast a vote).

Oooh... very clever mechanic, mod. No reason to prod lurkers. :)

Iammars:
I don’t think it’s wise to be discussing role details like that... and honestly I’m a bit leery by how unsure you sound about your role...
Next time you post, could you clarify your postrestriction (unless you can think of a reason not to)? Was it imposed overnight or during the day? Do you tell whether you will still be restricted tomorrow? Don’t feel you need to burn a post just to reply to me.

Bamboo:
Circumstantial, but interesting point about Iammars nonetheless...
However, as above I don’t think it’s a good idea just yet to reveal role details about all-in abilities, and certainly not before discussing further.

Maximus:
Temporarily assuming mucking to be a game mechanic, I can only think of one instance when it might be advantageous for the town to muck a hand, and even then I’m not too sure. I think that the knowledge of the folded hands is too potentially valuable to throw away.

Aelyn:
Slightly contradicting myself here, but may I ask you whether there is anything in your role which would affect your chip count?
