So, what's the strategy in this setup? Do we prefer to find scum or figure out confirmed town?

If we can fully trust one player as town then I don't see how we could actually lose.

[Maximum Spin]

From what I can tell, I'm probably the most rightful heir, so you should nominate me if you want to keep the Mandate of Heaven. In fact, Maximum Spin!

Alright, I’m tired so I’m about to go to sleep, don’t make any big decisions without meeeeee

Also, are the sects created by players individually or by the GM?

Nothing in the rules indicates player generation of sects so they must be generated by the moderator.

[Maximum Spin]

There's no proof that they even exist.
But if there is a sect looking out to protect the rightful Imperial family, I'm your guy.
If there's a sect looking out to specifically harm the rightful Imperial family, though, it's uhhhhh, Jim.

Vote town instead of scum.

Great idea! If we all just do that then there's no way we can lose~

You've made one post but I don't trust you.

Good for you!

Knight, you should know that no sleeping is allowed in these games. We're making big decisions all the time!

Screw the mandate of heaven, elect me so that we can send those bastards to hell!


I'll make a serious vote once everyone's posted.

Late to the thread whoops.

So, what's the strategy in this setup? Do we prefer to find scum or figure out confirmed town?

I like the discussion about what our goals/approach should be, and think the format does make the scumhunt a bit harder than usual. Vote killing is usually a very good source of intel. It confirms the identity of the victim, implicates anyone who had been overly defensive of that victim, and every success early on makes the late game easier.

Proving someone town is definitely a win condition for us, not sure how to accomplish that though.

Our first nomination is probably not going to be the most critical one. Given more information as we go (and potentially from town abilities) we'll more likely to guess right on days 2 and 3. And the day 1 nominee will end up with much more time under the spotlight (if we guess wrong and they're scum).

I'll default to voting for myself right now (reina) because I have no reason to trust anyone else.

You know... with the openings thus far, I'd be pretty surprised if EuchreJack isn't town anyway.

Mmmm...

Yeah, okay, I'm with the notquitethere party now.

Also, I'm undecided if I should accept nominations or if no one will believe I'm Town, but I feel like not accepting nominations is scummy, so, whatever.

I was thinking this, but since you've said it out loud I'll be glad to point it out.

I think anybody who plays humble is probably scum. Although the fact you're aware of this makes it moot if you're scum so whatever. But at the same time, would you say this out loud in the first place if you were mafia? It's something to think about for sure.

See, therein lies the destiny of we brave few who try too hard. I feel like I might do that. I was thinking of how I'd start off the Day all of today, and this was what I settled on. But, the good news is that I am Town, and even better news is that if I am voting, I might be in a good spot.

Cold of you to exclude notquitethere like that.

Max, Max, Max...

You just gotta feel it, you know?

[reina]

We could theorize about the Onyx Cabal's strategy in this ruleset, in order to better identify them.

I think the greedy play is to campaign for themselves every day. Gives them more chances to rig the Nominees. But if they coordinate a bit too much for each other we might see a pattern by the end of day 3.

The patient play would be to lay low or campaign independently for the first few days; coordinating on the last day. We aren't going to have much time to vet the Day 3 candidate post-nomination. There may even be town abilities that only target Nominees, and so a later candidate would be dodging less bullets.

Oh, I feel something, all right.
