::edit:: Turbovolver has pointed out that Stoofer's 1st Law is actually something else, so I have renamed this law Stoofer's 2nd Law.

*sigh* Couldn't resist.

You'd have to have the mind of Hitler or something to think that kind of law up!

at Aelyn for spotting my inspiration!

it took spam off a long time...

but it wasa a mish mash

I don't think thats limited to this forum, I think it occurs anywhere where the density of mafia players is above a certain (low) critical threshold, say, 1 mafia player per 10 active users?

^^ Yea...that's weirdly true...

I guess the stoofer equation is:

P = 1 - 1/n

Where P is the probability of a vote, and n is number of posts.

(waits for someone to make a thread with a vote on the first post to screw me over)

What does this say about the voters, are they more lkely to be scum in life?

Godwin?

See Aelyn's post 2.

According to Godwin's law this discussionwas over in post three. According to common sense there was really nothing else to say after that anyway.

Oh, but there is. Let's bring up another of Stoofer's Laws, if I may:

In a C9 game, a townie lynch on day one will have both scum on the lynchwagon.

He brought it up in a game I was in with him, and if we believe his statistics it has like an 80% success rate (sample size: 8 or so). The reason I put it out there is to see if other people have found it to be true or untrue in their experience.


It is OK that I say this, right Mr. Stoofer? I mean it's already sort of public knowledge when you posted it up in our game. If not, sorry

If the game is still continuing, then I'd advise you leaving discussion at that post, and picking up conversation after the game has ended.

But what do I know? I'm but a meager game show host...

Check the five-year invitational. A townie was lynched day one, yet no scum were on the wagon.

Your name is awesome.

But no, the game is finished. I just wasn't sure if Mr Stoofer wanted his secrets revealed....

As one can see in the finally concluded Mini 257, this is true even when Stoofer is scum.

Who cares what Stoof thinks... according to some, he smells of wee wee.

- may the trade secrets be revealed!

Turbovolver is quite right, This ought to be Stoofer's 1st Law in fact, since I have been propounding this for some time.

Note it only applies to C9 games, and therefore wouldn't apply to the invitational.

It's an act of love.

It's very comprehensible:

raj's wiki wrote:raj - initials of my name

rhcp - red hot chili peppers

freak - me

for siding with rajscum

Yea, sorry I didn't see that earlier, or I would have proved you wrong earlier.
