How disastrous, on a scale 1 to 10 ,with 10 being devastating, for the civvy's would it be to publically say whose the civvy cop, when their is a 50/50 between him being mafia or civvy?
This isn't even a valid question. There isn't a 50/50 chance that the cop who targeted me is mafia. The fact that he claims I'm mafia makes it a 68% chance he's mafia. On a 1 to 10 scale, lynching the civ cop would probably be about a 4, and lynching me would probably be about a 4 as well. From my experience, it's just as important to interpret information as it is to acquire it. The civ cop isn't as important as you think it is, because we also have a Sociologist and Stalker. We have a total of 3 information roles, so it wouldn't be very disastrous to lose 1 of them. It would hurt just as much to lose the player who is among the most experienced at interpreting the information we acquire. But I suppose I'm a little biased, as I am the only player who can say with complete certainty that the cop who targeted me is mafia.
If you are civvy, and your civvy cop just died, how would you try to win the game / what would your plan be?
1.) Find a confirmed player - either mafia, or civilian. If the civy cop who died said I was mafia, then it would mean I am a confirmed mafioso.
2.) Have the Sociologist target the confirmed player (in this case, me) and somebody else. If the two players are not in the same faction, it means the other player must be civ. If the two players are in the same faction, it means the other player must be mafia. We continue to use the Sociologist ability each round on 1 confirmed player and 1 player whose identity is unknown. The role would work almost exactly like a cop does.
3.) Have the Stalker target suspicious players. If the Stalker shows that a player targeted the same player who was lynched, then we've likely found a mafioso.
4.) Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until we have either found all of the mafia or found all of the civilians.
If you are civvy, and your bodyguard just died, how would you try to win the game / what would your plan be?
It's exactly like the plan I showed above, only it's arguably a little easier because you have the civ cop role as well. But the only way the information from a cop could be useful is if the mafia cop has already died.
If you are civvy, and your bodyguard and policemen just died, how would you try to win the game?
Follow the plan above.
