Shame Sisu didn't join in. I think he would have loved coming up with conspiracy theories about who is guilty. Oh... if we do this again it has to be lizard men instead of mafia!
thats why i did the probability in parallel calculation. If the two investigators choose at random there is a low chance they pick the same people if they pick suggestions the chances are much higher they pick the same person... i think the chances of a random pick picking the same people is 1/9 x 1/9 or something... but if the choice is 1 in 2 then its 1/2 x 1/2 = 25% chance.... I know astro you are utterly convinced and that is fine but right now it sounds like you are not a town investigator but could be mafia trying to eliminate one. I say could as i can't be sure of course. If you are just a regular townie then would it not be best for our investigators to pick on what they've seen just in case you are wrong. Obviously the top picks that people have made are the first point to look at but what if a mafia is just staying quiet? what about the case where you are wrong? Maybe you are dead right. but if you are not the investigators will waste a turn looking at the wrong people. I think its all still muddy and neither of the top 2 voted for necessarily are mafia or not but I'd like to see our detectives wait and see until they know who is likely to go out and if any late moves occur and why.
Have you enjoyed running this and do you think you might do another. I kind of like it and would do it again even though we've not got a round done. I've never done a forum based thing like this but I have done email storywriting in the past.
I think nobody will shocked i resorted to math... well not anyone who shook their heads at the numbers thread
With 10 people: Min time 2 rounds. Max time 5 rounds. 48hrs between rounds. (Except I screwed up round 1 and gave an extra day). If people were guaranteed on every day a round could be 24hrs.
There is amusement to be had knowing who is what and watching people guess. I wouldn't mind running another... although if someone else wanted to run one I would prefer joining in instead. Give first choice of running it to a.member of the winning team.
Well i am sorry, i'll try to include some the next time i summarize but i fear using bullets would mean i'd be considered mafia with a tommy gun...
I'd guess the ones asking the questions are the ones that are trying to find information. The Mafia already have the info so there is no need to ask our'summarise'
