IB Mini Series 1 - Lovers Mafia - Already Over

I have decided to start modding a string of small games using normal setups such as lovers, vengeful etc

This is a simple 6 player setup

4 Vanilla Town
2 Mafia Lovers
Nightless game, if one mafia member gets lynched the other commits suicide and town wins.


These are the only two roles that will appear in the game

Town wrote:You are a normal townie. You have no special actions but you can vote to kill someone.

You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated


Mafia wrote:You are a member of the mafia and in love with _____. You could not stand to live without them, and them without you. If either of you is lynched, the other will commit suicide in grief.

You win when the mafia outnumber the town or nothing can prevent the same

RULES

Game Rules stolen from Cicero who in turn stole then from Stoofer

[01] VOTING METHOD: Votes must be in bold. example: Vote: LlamaFluff If you do not bold your vote, it will not be counted. You must unvote before casting another vote, if you wish it to count.

[02] LYNCH: Lynching will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, any attempts to unvote will be unheeded.

[03] LURKING AND NOT POSTING: Lurking is not an acceptable strategy in this game. Anyone who goes more than 72 hours without posting, without advance warning, is likely to be replaced. (I don't count weekends for this purpose.) Mafia is a social contract. Everyone is expected to give information and comment to be analysed. If this is uncomfortable for you, consider taking up solitaire instead.

[04] OUT OF THREAD COMMUNICATION: The game is not to be discussed outside the thread unless your role specifically states that you may do so – and then only in the manner stated in your role PM. Don’t quote any out-of-thread communications regarding this game in the thread, this includes role PMs.

[05] TOO CLEVER BY HALF RULE: No small or hidden text or obscure codes. Don’t edit/delete previously submitted posts either.

[06] VACATION? LIMITED ACCESS? If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in this game thread. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.

[07] FALLIBILITY CLAUSE: Unlike other mods I am fallible. Please point out any mistakes I make gently. In particular, if I post a vote count that does not accurately reflect your vote, it is your responsibility to correct me -- otherwise your vote may be treated as it appears in the vote count.

[08] QUESTIONS: If you have any questions at all, please PM me or post the question in the thread.

[09] FUN: Remember, it’s a game and it’s supposed to be fun. Be nice to your fellow players and your mod. I have very low tolerance for abusive posts.

[10] I've reserved this color for any purposes I might choose. Don't use it, please.

Three more needed peeps. This is a really good setup, plays heavily on the interactions of scum partners more then the single scummy player. Besides, this game usually is very fast paced, I think a little under 10 pages is average.

unvote vote stroop, for random vote stage bandwaggoning. Yes in this game 2 votes is a BW.

Hm, perhaps. You could hardly call one random vote pressure though, so a tiny bandwagon might be needed to apply pressure at times. It's just a reminder to ani that he can't go unnoticed.

unvote with so few votes needed, random votes can be inadvertently dangerous

True unvote

Now thinking about the setup, I think we have a good chance here. We have 2 lynches to get scum, odds day 1 are 1/3 and day 2 they are 2/5. Odds of losing =2/3*3/5= 6/15= 2/5, therefore odds of winning=60% with blind lynches.

And of course that will increase if we get our scum hunting hats on correctly.

What a waste of a post you may as well have just posted a blank space.

it is putting him at L-2, which is a fair amount of pressure. All it would take is one noob and a scum and hey presto a lynch. An fos would have sufficied.

pressure for what though? them to say 'im town'?

remember we have no roles here, 2 mafia, and the rest are vanilla, applying pressure to get claims will be almost useless aye?
