I didn't assume that. I'm open to mafia kill both their partners and paired townies, and I expect a mix of the two. Going all-out in one way only makes it easier to find the scum a few days in when they're all paired with someone. I think you're looking at this from only one angle and not considering WIFOM even a little bit.
Mafia kill people they think are PRs, or are strong players on the right track. This is true in every game and I don't see why pairs of players are a greater worry to the mafia than a PR, strong player or confirmed townie. It DOES remove flexibility to have the goal of "only kill paired townies" for the first few days. It IS a subset of all possible choices so it is LESS choices.
Good to know what you would do as mafia. I'll keep an eye out for you and your partner in a few days when we'll have presumably claimed.
This was also discussed in the all SK game but keep in mind that within a few days mafia should have figured out most of the pairings if not all of them, anyway. The informed minority are usually able to pick these details up plus they should know of at least a few pairings. (if we assume mafia are ~30% of the players then they know from 30%-60% of the pairs at game start...)
I agree with most aspects of this post. The scum already know half the battle, so why shouldn't we? And eliminating "potential" mason pairs seems pretty ridiculous to me since as phar said, known power roles/strong leads are going to be more influential to their choices. And by the time we get around to claiming table partners, they will already know most of them anyway.
Oh ffs! I can't work the new multiquote!
I'll try again in a minute.
Heads up: had a 3am start, uncle taken into hospital this morning, just got home (11pm). Trying to catch up before the day ends and no I don't know when that is because I'm too knackered to work timezones.
Yeah, usual quality Thyiad-play.
I was actually just taken back by reading your post. I was like, this isn't Thyiad's game anymore, whats going on?!?
And then I was like. Oh, shes playing, no shit. Derp.
I feel like we're just saying the same arguments that came up last time we had random pairings. I don't remember what the end result of that discussion was though, since I largely ignored the QTs back then anyways.
Yep, we are, and we stalled, and then ended up claiming partners anyway. I think we are wasting our time here and should just claim and call it a day already so we can actually have solid information moving forward rather than scum trying to pull any funny shit.
