Ah ha! You were my first guess as to who it was (because you knew it was my birthday and I assumed the only place someone would see that was Elfster)

Fantastic, bees would have been cool too, but harder to hang up. Thanks again!

I’m currently chewing on ideas for a Pokémon-themed soldiers game, because I come up with my best and worst ideas at 6 AM.

If anyone has experience with designing/running them, I'd love some help with not making it an unbalanced mess that'll collapse in ten minutes.

Oi, is the meta to generally try to execute someone day 1? If so, why?

I've seen this a few times and I can't figure it out, and I don't anticipate getting a non-irony-poisoned answer within an active game thread.

voting is one of the most powerful tools the town has. not using it gives up a lot of information for little benefit and cedes the momentum to the scum. if town has a decent day one scum will likely be in a more reactive position, giving that up forces town in the reactive role.

A day one execution gives the town information. Avoiding an execution on day 1 gives the town no information.

One of those is superior to the other.

Elaborating on this, what do we mean by information - it means you can examine other players' interactions with and voting patterns on the flipped player with firm knowledge of their alignment. That's useful enough to be worthwhile despite the high chance of flipping a townie.

Absolutely.

There is an incredibly disproportional chance that you'll flip a townie on D1. That still gives very important information and gives any town people with night actions something more concrete to work from.

the secret truth is nk-ing day one is just something people do because of the sting of getting killed first and they make up lies about how its beneficial. there is nothing wrong with this, its a fault of mafia because mafia is a bad game. player elimination is a bad mechanic but it works fine in longer form games like on the forums.

voting is important and it's important to vote when you're given the opportunity even if you don't really know anything about the candidates positions or alignments so just vote for whoever you want to based on vibes

Legitimately it is the starting point to create reads on people. Take the recent vigs mafia, nobody had a single clue who was scum (except Dhaes, lol) until people actually started to play on day 3. I was killed next because I didn't have the energy to fully resist merk's case on me based on that same day (and also because people have apparently forgotten what scum merk looks like, shame on them). If the thread had taken Pecota's advice to start playing Day 2, that might have ended in a town win instead. Scum have the most incentive to push people for votes and lead everyone around by the nose when they can do it without being found suspicious, town otoh has no clue whoscum and is generally guessing so their incentive structure on voting and cases are different. Town has to agree to execute even other town initially because if it doesn't, that just sets town back on time without cementing the kinds of poo poo that make scum stand out and also cementing whether someone who was passionately trying to get someone dead was right, wrong, or scummy for it. You can't tell if someone is scummy nearly as easy if you have no idea what the alignments are of the people they have talked about, pushed, and defended.
