Re: Ravenwood Retreat Mafia Game.
I like this post a lot and it also gels with my own initial read of Gorny - which I won't publicise so early in the game.
Well I'm not sure what to make of this statement....
I think some have wondered off into the realms of percentages this, that and the other - muddying the waters perhaps
Its one of the following actions
1) No NK order sent - this has happened before, think it was when I was diablo in the diablo themed game we had a person none responsive as baal so we waited and waited finally I thought Meph (cannot remember who it was) sent the NK order and he thought I did result = zero NK. So its not as unlikely as you think.
2) We saw a doctor save - Lucky guess if true - very remote chance as numbers don't lie.
3) We saw a busdriver or other role in this game intervene - same reasoning as above
4) Slight play on 1 - No NK on purpose to try and root out some key roles - with slips ups, if the mafia can slip up (see noodle last game) so can the power roles on the first day this game . Is this a worthwhile strategy from my point of view no but to the mafia players....
After the end of the last game I went through some of the thread of the mafia that game and it was an interesting read on tactics - e.g. Noodle backing me up knowing full well I was town so if the lynch on me succeeded who then looks like a golden townie. Also they were quite skilled on backing away from their own without looking like they were backing away!
I picked up a few other things from it that I can look out for call it traits if you will....
