Which 'you' are you speaking of, Jason Maher?

 

[Noodle]

Voted Noodle for the same reason.

Right, like I'd let anyone determine for me how I'm going to play the game. What a arrogant claim to make.

 

[Jason Maher]

You're free to lurk to your heart's content. And we're free to vote for you for it.

On the advice of my attorney, I'd like to point out that I have a coupon.

Check the expiration date, that always gets me.

And here I thought only the mod and dead thread was allowed popcorn.

whom of do you speak?

How badly would you like to know? On a scale of 1-USCUM

Wait, this is mafia. Obviously not like threat level midnight. I don't want to know anymore.

Coju, can you explain what sparked these questions and responses?

To everyone who has voted (or will vote today):

Are you using the interrogation like a normal vote?

I can see the point Drixx has about using it to make lurkers post more, but in the end I am only putting a vote on someone I think is likely scum.

Leme know what you expect me to say, it'll be good reference later.

What did you mean by this?

7 years... it takes 7 years to digest gum... gum... hmm... you chew gum... chew... charleston chew.... charleston.. a dance.... a dance can also be a prom... prom... hmm.. prom king... hmm... King Arthur... hmm Arthur...

I've solved the case!

Note: If you swallow gum, it actually just goes right on through the system, not 7 years.
Also BPC, how many games have you played mafia? And how many were as town/mafia?

In every game in which i've played that Noodle also played, Noodle sort of lurked his way through, so I can get on board with:

Interrogate: Noodle

How many of those games has Noodle been scum? How many has he been town? How has his play style differed between the two?

Interrogate: Noodle

No free ride for you this game, oh culinary one.

A few questions for both Drixx and Jason, but more towards Drixx:

I get your reasoning behind interrogating a lurker. Seeing as how Noodle has posted more in the past half-day phase than he has in most games total, would you say that your votes on him are helpful or hurtful? The way I see it, you both wanted to interrogate him to convince him to post more. He is posting more than his usual self. In the case of Drixx, he was already posting more before the vote came in.

See my above quote of Drixx. Drixx votes Noodle because Noodle is posting more than he usually does on Day One. But then Drixx later states that he is voting Noodle to force his activity level higher:

I used my interrogation to help ensure Noodle actually has to participate tomorrow.

So which is it? Damned if Noodle does, damned if Noodle doesn't?

More importantly... why Noodle specifically? There are plenty of other people who are currently less active than Noodle. Why not call out Laarz, another chronic lurker? Why not me, who had yet to post?

To everyone who has voted (or will vote today):

Are you using the interrogation like a normal vote?

I view today's interrogation as simply a convoluted, two-step lynch. If you think about it, there are only two differences between this new mechanic and a standard lynch:
1) The target survives for one extra day and night.
2) The town must vote twice for the target.

Difference #1 is the most concerning. When the town is voting on a lynch, it's because they no longer want that player in the game for some reason. Keeping said player around for longer causes confusion as the player defends him/herself, other view points pop up, and doubt starts to creep in. This leads to mislynches.

Difference #2 is minor. You shouldn't Interrogate someone that you're not willing to see lynched tomorrow. Someone who votes to Interrogate but doesn't vote to Prosecute the same person will earn some hefty scum marks unless there's a very compelling reason.

 

[Solar Ice]

I liked the Dragon Hunt last big game. This one seems to have a lot of thought behind it. If you're a player that will be prosecuted the next day, could it be thought that you have a lame duck immunity to NK? Since you have a greater chance of being hung the next day, would mafia bother NK?

You are immediately assuming that the prosecution candidates for Tomorrow are Town. Why?

I have to somewhat disagree with difference 2. I don't think one needs a very compelling reason to not lynch someone if given an extra 48 (day) hours to reconsider and hear opinions popup as you mentioned. I think the best use of this interrogation mechanic is to keep more options open for tomorrow, and make more voting connections to draw on sooner than normally happens.

Think about other games where townie aftter townie is lynched. Let's think back to the SP game as an example: if there was one more set of voting records (2 lynches 1 day) to compare to, don't you think the town would have a better chance of lynching correctly when it matters most?

I'm also not saying the second lynch needs to be used, but that more connections are better. If a mafia is lynched well damn, that's impressive D1 imo.

 

[thefranklin]

I used my interrogation to help ensure Noodle actually has to participate tomorrow. We won't be obligated to prosecute one of the two+ people for a 2nd lynch. My thinking was that since the roles are randomized, the best bet for taking advantage of the twilight opportunity is to get a couple people who tend to lurk through games and sort of force them to be more active ... on day 1 at least.

The problem I see is that we are probably more likely to hit a town power role than a scum power role, unless it's a super role-heavy game like the last one, but even then there's generally like 4x as many townies, so we could get spectacularly lucky like in the last game (poor Kestegs, LOL) or it could really hurt us. Hard saying without foresight I'm afraid.

Interrogate: Drixx

Putting lurkers into discussion seems like a good idea, but are you really going to lynch someone D1 because they lurked in the past? It seems like a sneaky way for some scum to do some role fishing. The interrogate should be used on people that we think are scum, which can and will happen even in a twilight. And the flat out acceptance of mafia power roles leads me to believe there is some inside information going on...

 

[thefranklin]

To everyone who has voted (or will vote today):

Are you using the interrogation like a normal vote?

Yes and no. I plan on hunting scum with it, but I may interrogate my #2 suspect instead of my #1.

 

[Bad Ash]

Pretty sure we don't have to lynch anyone we interrogate. Just that they are up for lynch
