Town Tactics and Logic

The last game involved noobs, so it's tough to expect them to be as awesome as I am. You also had an idiot get mod-killed as well.

I dunno. Your performance is quickly degrading to sub par.

On the bus. I'll look in on this later tonight. You said it yourself, though. Town needs to get back to using logic instead of emotion in their decision making. Also, quick decisions tend to generally fall in the mafia's favor statistically.

Can't do it on the last game alone. There were two folks as mafia, pulling a power play against 3 noobs... one of them got modkilled and quit the site.

I just used that game as a point of reference. The object is to pool our collective knowledge and discuss what we need to start doing better. Duh.

Dude really quit the site? Kinda feel badly about that, but he was super warned and had a free pass.

Started a goodbye thread to just say "trolololol im back"and he changed his name to Palecok had couple threads locked just days before and also popped back into the game after being mod killed.

Yep dont feel bad about him.

Now teach us noobs how to not suck as town.

Key ideas:

STOP!
Think about it.
Don't rush into anything.

I personally need to apologize for putting my own entertainment ahead of my teams' with the fake posting restriction. While I feel it was a net gain for town, maybe there was a greater gain to be had elsewhere. I have a question for KrisT, but as it's regarding an active gain, it needs to wait.

I also would encourage everyone to 'step back' from the metagame and taking every little thing and running to the moon with it.

That game will be a main focus of this thread upon completion. I agree with the first part of your post in total.

I'm just going to say this now, as I think it's super effective.

We need to run a few Dethy games for the sake of bringing the veterans back to logic, and showing some of the newer players how logic can win games. Dethy is one cop of each flavor:

Sane - Accurate Investigations
Insane - Opposite Investigations
Paranoid - Always Guilty
Naive - Always Innocent

And one mafia. Each night the cops investigate and share results the next day. Mafia has to fake it to blend in. Logic dictates who is who through process of elimination. The only FUD is usually at the end for LoL purposes if the mafia has completely mirrored one cop, and someone has to choose which one is telling the truth.

»Pub Games FAQ »What is a Dethy game?

drew and Archivis have to remind me if Informed Dethy is better, or the normal one. I say we do this after our discussion, which will take place after ekster's game concludes.

I'm a bit rusty. There are no lynches, just nights. Still, it is a game of strict logic. Bullshit doesn't really apply well. It's tough for mafia.

Informed Dethy. He knows the setup. Town doesn't receive results on dead men. (dead men tell no tales)

Sounds fascinating, but I don't think I'd want in. I'd like to see four people who know what they're doing demonstrate.

That'll be the plan. We'll do our discussion after the ekster game, and then I or someone else will do a sign up for informed dethy. Spectators welcome. Questions during game welcome. Kind of like a peanut gallery. Then we'll run some more so everyone can play. It's fun. I don't keep notes in normal games. Never have. But if you don't take notes in dethy, you lose.

Notes isn't the right word. More like a chart.

_____N1 N2 N3 N4
Kris
Arch
drew
Ant
Dez

Investigation results go in the blanks.

Then you chart whether or not someone is whatever type of cop, till you narrow it down to 2 that are the same, and try to pick the right one. Or mafia gets trapped in the logic and it's even easier.

So does this game has countless amount of nights and players just keep going till they're all ready, or is there a limit?

reply to Kristopher

reply to ekster
I think the mafia can still kill people so that's the limit
