It's got cheese in, so it could be worse.

as everyone has a night action, to keep the game flowing at a decent rate, feel free to preload your night actions and send them to me throughout the day period if you like. However, as soon as the day ends whatever you have sent up to that point will be locked in as your action.

Who wants my money? If you give me 50 for 3 days, I will give you 70 back in 4. Easy money, just need at least 4 investors.

Oooh, probably a Mafia Role, right? Bobbyaro for TFODOSFP ('the finger of day one suspect finger pointing').

When do I get to snort coke our of a hooker's arse?

Curiosity · **Posted:** Thu Feb 13, 2014 14:16

Sort of a prisoner's dilemma style game.

If we all just invest our money every day, we'll surely gain more between us than the mafia, and we can see who has stolen money each time, so can lynch any thieves, as the Mafia can only win by stealing.

Win-win!

Huh. This is a brilliant idea.

It kind of interferes with my gameplan, though.

If you're mafia, then yeah.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Thu Feb 13, 2014 15:11

Drawbacks to my plan:

1) Mafia could donate money to townies, making them look guilty.
2) Towards the end people will try to win the individual game by stealing.
3) It's kinda boring if we all just do the sensible thing. No capitalists ever won by being fair!

Curiosity · **Posted:** Thu Feb 13, 2014 15:18

Does anyone want to do the maths on whether or not we want to lynch now? I'm going to guess that we do. Oddly, we can win even if we all get killed, as long as our money is locked in. At the moment you'd have to assume that the Town has more money than the Mafia, so the sooner we end the game the better seems to make sense.

Thoughts?

If I was, my gameplan would be done tomorrow.

Curio's suggestion would almost indicate lynching at random would be ideal, say unless any one individual person accumulates £400, then kill that person (to avoid the mafia stealing enough to win). Does that make sense?

Grim... · **Posted:** Thu Feb 13, 2014 15:27

Depends on the number of mafia, doesn't it?

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49244

Hmm. If we assume a max of 4, then they would need over £1000 between them. So kill anyone who hits £300?

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49244

And there's no point them framing townies by giving them money, because we keep that money even if a townie dies - so they'd just be adding to our total.

True, we should lynch whoever has the most money every turn.

Satsuma · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 14416

Yes, we should shouldn't we? GERR'EM.

(PS. What's going on here?)

Satsuma · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 14416

TOWNIES FORM TOGETHER!

*Transformers noise*

[vote: Cras] or Curio, like whatever, let's just gerr'um.

What's the point of donating? Wouldn't that be against our win condition?

I guess you could make yourself less of a target for a few rounds by having near to or no money, then rob someone else. Like real business, or something!

[vote:GazChap] because he's a rich bugger irl.

From the rules:

I don't think I've grasped what's going on here at all. I thought the Mafia were openly discussing tactics but apparently not but the comments are all framed in a way that's weird and confused me.

So, if someone could summarise later on then that'd be great.

Oh. My plan sucks then.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Thu Feb 13, 2014 17:40

Yeah, mine too.

I thought we could beat the Mafia by just lynching the richest person each day. That would 'lock in' their money for the Town.

Turns out that it doesn't work that way

sdg · **Posted:** Thu Feb 13, 2014 19:24

Well I'll [vote:Curiosity] for trying to make us kill every town member with money.

It does seem to be a crapshoot, with no way to actually tell who anyone else is.

I think the secondary goal is actually the primary goal.

I don't see why just amassing money won't work?

Because someone will steal it from you when they can make more by stealing than by making.

I think we should all learn some lessons of the past and so I'm going to vote for the quietest one on the list, which is...
