Elements Mafia 49 - by ddevans96

[ddevans96]

Right, to start with, can we have exact numbers as to the amount of cult-sided, mafia-sided, and civ-sided players?
Given how we have 10% zombies, 20% government, and the rest are civilians, that gives us 3 cults, 6 mafia, and 21 civilians, correct?

EDIT4: Third zombie added, randomness is still unbiased. There are, correctly, 3 zombies, 6 government, and 21 villagers, 7 of which are vanilla. Apologies for making this error.

To elaborate, 1 of those zombies is the Lich, one of the Government is the Agent, and there are two of each Villager Role, with all other players (2 zombies, 5 government, 7 villagers) being Vanilla.

A single question RQS, to start things off:

1) What team do you think is the most dangerous here? Town, Zombie, or Government?

Rolled 13 on a d30. Bandwagon started unless something comes up.

Lynch ties are decided randomly, yes?

Government simply because of the numbers. 6 Mafia is a really strong amount, especially with some of the town's roles directed towards Zombie. If Government can properly utilize the division between Town and Zombie and keep Zombie culled, they should have no trouble winning.

8) Ties will be resolved randomly, if any occur.

No, I am not starting a conga line.

Yes.

Regarding Zombie and Government interaction, which I forgot to address in the rules: If you are Government and you're converted, your goal is to blend in with the Government, much like Zombies and Government blend into town. As a Government turned Zombie, you discuss with and send in the nightkill, but once all Government are dead or converted, there is no more Government nightkill, even if any remain as Zombies.

Apologies for not addressing that before.

To Zblader: Kill all zombies. I haven't tried with a cult, but cult evil and OP and disgusting and ew.

The thing to remember here is that a single well-placed zombie will annihilate the mafia's chances of destroying the cult. Having the mafia kill the town leader is bad, sure, but having the cult indoctrinate the town leader is just as bad.

I'm actually so worried about this single notion that I'm going to try and lynch all the good people before the zombies get them.

[ZephyrPhantom]

Purging the potential threats here sounds good to me, and the only ties I like are the necktie kind.

Zblader (1) - Linkcat
Skyironsword (2) - Frozengaia, Zblader

I heard flyingcat makes great pie.

(Why sky? is that random?)

[Espithel]

Sky is good
Sky must die
Kill all the experienced players before the zombies get them

Kill all the experienced players before the zombies get them

You're making an assumption that the zombies WILL target the experienced. But this will delve into WIFOM but honestly you can't just say that.

What makes this mafia different than most is that we're in a 3-way war here, so motives could have more than one meaning to them.

While Frozen's strategy is valid, he does seem to be a little overly aggressive at the same time in terms of targeting. All 3 sides should take note of that, especially if following his strategy goes south for town.
