That's the plan isn't it? Three votes on slaze, three on Celedorn?
Actually I'm saying both of them. The latter without first would not give any benefit. But let's not waste time debating the proper way and choice of words for describing the upside, as I think we finally agree now on it being good. (I just want to add some words (additions underlined) to that in case someone else is still confused: "we have x days left to actively vote, whether we vote or not on one day". (Doing it twice is bad. Or after any other way there was no kill or 2 kills as a result of a vote.)I thought you were arguing a different point; I thought you were saying that waiting a day increased the odds (which I disagree with).
You are saying that we have x days left, whether we vote or not.
To that I say:
The only issue now is getting everyone to refrain from voting. This is something that would be very difficult. With 0 votes anyone (including mafia) could come in and vote at the last second... with no time left we couldn't rally to get all the votes we needed in time... likewise that person could just say something like, "oh sorry, I was confused" ... and who knows, maybe they were.
Given those difficulties I wouldn't suggest we do this "abstain for a round" thing. But if everyone else said they were on board with it I would give it a try. It's probably too late to do it this round (because who knows whether everyone who has already voted will even be back to check on the forums before the vote).
That's the plan isn't it? Three votes on slaze, three on Celedorn?
No problem, no problem at all! Just do a tie.
No, that's slaze's plan. No one else has said they want to do this. He hasn't explained why he wants to do it either. He agreed that tying the vote doesn't accomplish anything but now continues to want to tie it anyways without explanation.
With a split vote either slaze gets out of dying or he takes someone else with him - so I'm very much against tying the vote.
My plan was to vote solely for slaze - as per my initial (long) post.
Unvote: slaze
Vote: Caledorn
3, 3 tie.

Ash88 said:I will be very surprised if you continue to vote for yourself until the end. This is a fine gesture but you haven't voted for yourself until the vote is counted. Although if you change your vote for any reason now you have to realize that people are going to be damn suspicious of you.
The game has two phases:
During Day, the Town must choose someone to Lynch
tion to it, and it's not relying on some almost 50% odds stab at the end.
Anyway, we have to vote, so I'm just seeing if mafia votes don't count. But we'd all need to vote for that to work (if it can).
I could be totally wrong here. Maybe this is just some, personality/deception game. Either way my fate's sealed, one way or the other.
If people want to skip a turn to get slightly better odds at guessing then people can vote for Caledorn to tie Slaze and hope that Winston doesn't just kill them both off (because if Winston kills them both off then Tic0s plan doesnt work, correct me if I'm wrong Tic0).
No, I'm saying this works if they don't count. I'm hoping they don't count. If you make everyone vote 4, 4 and one person dies, we will know that the vote was really 4, 3. And we will know which 4 people actually only count for 3. Next round you split those 4 with the remaining votes for a 3, 3 vote and you narrow it down to two people and after the 2, 2 vote you know who mafia is, just in time for townies to win. If we hesitate, as we are doing, we lose this opportunity and it becomes the crapshoot, as we won't have enough rounds to figure it out with certainty.
Hate to state the obvious... but perhaps instead of having intricate debates about percentage likelihoods and so on, we instead vote for the person who seems most likely to be the butcher of our dearest monarch? That rather seems our purpose, methinks.
It works even with both dying. It's like a combination of 1 normal voting day + night + passing + night = 3 dead anyway.
