I don't need luck.

@mod Not that I'm the cop or the serial killer, but what happens when the cop tries to investigate the guy who is the serial killer? You can't tell the cop he can't be investigated, because that would give away his role anyway.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. ^

If a SK is investigated by a Cop, the Cop will be informed that the target is a townie

Interesting.

In short, the only way to catch the Serial Killer is by his posts. In general, the most effective way to catch mafia/SK is by getting them to post. The more everyone posts, the more data there is for trends.

Here is some general advice:

Town also has to play nearly perfect. 2 incorrect lynches will lead to a game state with 3 mafia, 1 SK, and 4 townies, or Lynch or lose state assuming SK hits a townie both nights. That is the worst outcome. Usually a doctor helps reverse the damage but this is Quick mafia so there is no margin for error. Make statements that trap guilty people, so you can pounce on it. Cop, use your intuition. Remember that there is only 1 SK, so the odds of you accidentally analyzing him are false.

SK is the best role and the worst role. Immunity is a blessing and a curse. You are free from cop suspicion, but in an end game state mafia can narrow you down. It is important to mix townie kills with mafia kills, so you don't leave yourself too alone.

Mafia needs to just play solid. Kill the SK mid to late game. In the beginning let the SK kill off townies. In "Quick" format mafia is most favored to win due to a lack of a doctor or a second cop, but be careful not to give yourself away.

Kind of sucks that you included a serial killer without including a doctor =/.

That's quick mafia for ya :p

@mod

SK is a nuetral?

[Cloud954]

If I were a killer, I'd make posts about the dead dog skulls I have in my basement and the coat I made out of my next door neighbor.

So....

Hey, any of you got any cool dead dog skulls in your basement...?

@mod

SK is a nuetral?

SK is his own group. Essentially a threat to both Mafia and Townie.

Blitz I concur with a serial killer running around this game will get interesting.

Oh and since this is the day can we vote to lynch someone or does it start tomorrow?

[Achilles]

You can start voting right now. Voting ends when a majority is reached or 24 hours, whichever comes first.

lynch cloud954

I know it is risky, but we have to lynch eventually. Just waiting around and doing nothnig won't get anything done. The cop may find a mafia member, but what will he do? Post and reveal himself, so he dies the next night? I don't think so.

Cloud is talking much more than the last game. Also, last game he had no role, which doesn't necessarily mean he gets a role this time, but I am just assuming he did. I may be completely wrong, and if I am I apologize.

But, the townies can't just sit and wait.

[Mikhail]

Tenken has some sort of logic behind his post. We all know we will go with the majority any way so why not cloud. I have played in almost all the mafia games and I have noticed people with big roles will be more active than someone with a useless role.

No hard feelings Cloud but someone has to die.

Nah no dead dog skulls in my basement but I have a couple living dog skulls if that counts.

Anyway, if Achilles believes the Town has to play nearly perfect for us to win, I believe he would put some of the more skilled players in the town/as the cop, and some of the more inexperienced players in the mafia, giving the Town more of an edge. And for this reason, I side with Tenken.

vote Cloud954

No offense.

[Achilles]

In the future, please keep votes in vote username form. Just to keep the standard, don't write lynch username.

Sorry that was my bad. The other forum I played on used lynch. Will remember to use vote.

[Canti]

I will be interested in how Cops and Mafia interact if they can only use this thread

[Achilles]

Mafia are allowed to speak outside of the thread, but only during night time. A cop is a regular townie that PM's me an inquiry every night, and I tell him townie or mafia.
