Elements Mafia 78 - by serprex

I'll leave lynchedcat alone for now. The closest i can come to a logical explanation is him really not wanting to be recruited into a cult at all cost or just gross incompetence. Simply assuming the latter when all explanations are unsatisfactory didn't work out so well the last time I did that.

@mobian no they cant?

Updated D1 post with a countdown

Day phase is 48 hours. 5 players can agree to ending day early

Night phase is 24 hours

Upon the 5th person's agreement, does everything lock in and wait for your tally?

You know, that'd be a broken way to avoid a split vote. & I was considering reducing to 24h, but then it gets weird with people voting shortly before 24h & stuff.. blah

5 is enough for next day phase to be 24 hours. 6 is required to end the current day phase, which is effective immediately

So you can now vote on 3 things: who to lynch (first past the post), whether to have next day phase be 24h or 48h (>=50% to get through), & whether to end current day immediately (>50% to get through)

I may add changing deadline time in future, but for now I'm sticking with UTC supremacy

mw, i suggest you read the rules. Only ways to actually die is to be recruited twice or lynched. Your goals throughout the game may shift though.

Cult leaders can also kill each other. There was a chance of that happening too.

EBWOP:

I was wrong, I misread the ability text. Ignore that line.

Cult leaders can only die by being lynched. Attempting to convert a cult leader fizzles, ie does nothing https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Fizzle

Hol up. No NK? Damn Link, that's some 4d chess.

Either Link is smart and didn't NK while he's got heat on him, or he is like me and didn't realize phases are only 24 hours.

Other option is Coolkid and Oa are scum. Coolkid seems inactive and Oa is invading Italy. Could replace one of those names with shock or RootRanger for same results.

WRT vote: So when you are this convinced that link is scum, why are you not voting him and also encouraging people to jump on other wagons?

Kaempfer still salty about my optimal usage of the Anubis role. I do actually want to be converted though, gives a higher chance of winning. Oa, you got me N1 right?

I was about to post how I wasn't sure if NK was even a thing before you told me to read the rules. I deleted the draft and went to read the rules in shame.

Link is an easy lynch right now. In fact, he's really the only one that anyone can fully scumread since no one got information last night. I'm voting root because he's a low poster and I want to apply pressure. I'm sure Mobian is voting CoolKid for the same reason. The other people I name dropped are also low posters, and the only one with an excuse is Oa. Im wanting to start a wagon on any of these people to get them to talk. Most likely, we lynch Linkcat today no matter what.

MW does speak truth in my motivations... Plus, it's not like we can't all focus in on Linkcat later on in the day cycle.

Post count or not, the only real contribution so far has been from andre. And he wasn't even digging too deeply.

For everyone else, here's a chance to offer your thoughts on real strategy. I'll give an easy question and a hard one. Interested in seeing what people to have to say.

1. How many cultists do you think currently exist? What is your level of certainty in your answer?
2. Let's say you find a cultist in Night 1. Do you lynch them the next day or choose someone else? Do you reveal this information at all?

[Linkcat]

1. Between 2-4, I'm like 80% sure.
2. Doesn't matter, I'm lynching you either way.

1: Anywhere between 2 and 4.  Remember that only Leaders can recruit, and they can only target one person a night, and if they hit a regular cultist, that cultist will die. SO! For N0, the cult leaders ran the risk of targeting each other, in the event their recruitment efforts failed.
2: If I found a cultist during my nightly search, I'd totes rat them out and let them burn.

Are there roles? Like wtf is happening this game.
