Beginners' Mafia 27.2: DP1

INTRODUCTION - Third Parties and Misinformation

So far you've only been playing with two parties: The Town and Mafia. This game we will introduce Third Parties. These parties are in it for themselves. They are anti-town AND anti-mafia. Depending on the game and the mod, third parties win by themselves, when certain conditions are met, or can win with either the Town or the Mafia.

This game also introduces the concept of flavors. Flavors are the adjectives of Mafia, altering how roles work. Here are some common flavors:

Even/Odd - Roles with these modifiers can only work on Even or Odd-numbered Night Phases
X-Shot - Roles with these modifiers can only be used X number of times.

(these flavors are usually made known to the player.)

Paranoid - For Cops and other investigative roles, they receive all Guilty-type results. For Doctors, they role-block their target.
Naive - For Cops and other investigative roles, they receive all innocent-type results. For Doctors and other non-investigative roles, they do nothing.
Insane - For Cops, they receive results opposite of the truth

(these flavors may be concealed from the player by the mod(s).)

You're so incredibly stupid if you're serious.

The game only has the roles as listed above. You can't possibly have that ability.

Are you making a stupid joke?

If not, why reveal on DP1 and why lie about it?

Excellent. So am I, because this behaviour sucks the fun out of games.

I say we start with xlav, since wylted is (in my opinion) a better play when he isn't buddying.

Thank you for the incredible insight of being null while everyone else has yet to post, minus Mikal's fluff.

Who's the newest player here? Debate?

We've learned that mass full claims are bad. A couple soft claims are definitely necessary for scumhunting.

We're going to get hard claims from the noobs who dont understand soft claims, and claims on Dp1 are why town keeps losing these games.

Too many claims are why town keeps losing these games DP1. It's a matter of balance. We get two, maybe three, and then decide whether or not to lynch. Right now I want to lynch XLAV.

That's not true. Soft claiming is a pretty simple concept, and if the noobs don't get it they can ask, and it would be incredibly easy for one of us to explain it.

Agreed.

Lynching Xlav would be dumb. His play style is difficult but that doesn't justify a lynch with zero evidence.

Reread 26x, it happened more than a few times. And early claiming beat the town 26.1 and 27.1, if you want evidence for why we shouldnt do it.
