Shout if you can still see the Dead Zone

Hello, fellow hard-workers!

Hello everyone nice to meet you all, anyone got any good stock tips for me?

Why? Losing your edge?

*evil grin*

Gon' get dat cabbage and dat cheese.

Cor my packed lunch is shit today.

Yes. Give me your money and I'll invest it for you, guaranteed 50% return in 3 days.

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

It's naturally occurring...

Does anyone here like Phil Collins?

Hello

BUY BUY BUY!!!!

I would like to buy a safety deposit box.

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.

Are you a Nigerian prince?

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?

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!

[/thread]

Why would you want to do that?

Huh. This is a brilliant idea.

It kind of interferes with my gameplan, though.

If you're mafia, then yeah.

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!

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?

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

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

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.

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










(PS. What's going on here?)

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.

As if.

A good point, well argued.

[vote:unvote]

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.

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

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

Meep!

I have no idea what's going on.

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.

Look what I found!

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...
