Except nobody will do this. Because nobody will want to be found as SK. And since nobody knows whether they are SK, nobody should take the risk.DoomYoshi wrote:I'm calling broken setup.
Everyone just targets the name below them on the list. Lynch SKs.


So as town, you would play in a pro-SK way?aage wrote:Except nobody will do this. Because nobody will want to be found as SK. And since nobody knows whether they are SK, nobody should take the risk.DoomYoshi wrote:I'm calling broken setup.

You are welcome to try, but know that I will lie. Every day.

That's what I call a policy lynch-target.
Nobody knows they're town until after night 1, though. And lying during day 2 is necessary in order to ensure your own survival regardless of your alignment... especially since all lynches in this game will be based on wifom and only wifom.DoomYoshi wrote:Innocent until proven guilty. 90% likely yes. Pick your favorite defense.
I have a great quote from RainbowDash over at MafiaScum who spends almost all his time breaking Open Setups:
"Any town not organized to proceed with a highly organized plan doesn't deserve to win anyways"
Of the two options, I would pick the second. Also, ~100% in this case is around 87%.DoomYoshi wrote:Either everyone plays along and the SKs lose or it's totally random lynch patterns.
I could eliminate any knowledge of me being SK by having my sister do the random.org target and pm and play as if I were town.
Why would I want to play a game where I can win 100% with a strategy that players are too obstinate to use, or ~100% lose because I have no information whatsoever to base my lynches on?
See Quantum Werewolf for an experiment very similar to this. However, the creator realized the importance of a cop if there are no hints about the scum.
The thing is the order has to be decided day 1 before you know whether or not you are SK.aage wrote:Of the two options, I would pick the second. Also, ~100% in this case is around 87%.DoomYoshi wrote:Either everyone plays along and the SKs lose or it's totally random lynch patterns.

It's a prisoner's dilemma. If the rest of the town plays according to your strategy, I can increase my personal winning odds by lying to town in order to determine if I am the serial killer. If the rest of town lies, I have no interest in playing along as that would put me in a position of disadvantage.
So there you have it. And sign up already.
