[Game] The Purge: Act I

In simulations with 10-3 vanilla, scum usually win. Real life is another story.

How the fuck can u simulate a mafia game nigga

Sorry for the racially insensitive remark

Note that all lynches are random. The human element is what changes the odds.

because its consensus amongst the mafia community that a cop13er (1 town cop 9 vanilla townies 3 mafia goons) is the most balanced mafia setup in existence coming as close to 50/50 winrate as possible

a cop with a n0 town peek that is

ur just taking that way

13er vanilla setup is played as 11 town and 2 scum usually if u wanna make it balanced

That's interesting. The entire basis of how I balanced games was from a paper that stated that the mafia player size should be approximated the square root of the total player count, and this is vanilla without cops.

The paper was this one: https://arxiv.org/abs/math/0609534

usually number of townies should be 3 times more than the number of mafias + 1

2v7
3v10
4v13

etc

this is assuming light town power roles and no scum power roles, or moderate town power roles and light scum power roles

for pure vanilla setups u replace 1 scum with town. but even then it gets tricky sometimes. 11v2 is a bit townsided. its just 13er specificlaly is ahrd to balance for vanilla

i read that paper, dunno where it comes from, but mafia communities who play mafia all day follow this usually

Our site is historically higher skill town because the players know each other

town wins basically every time unless the setup is extremely scum favored is what he means

i think the amount of tolerance for angleshooting probably factors in the increased town winrate for this site

for instance, if this was on another site: i would be infracted/force replaced for mentioning krazykat's post in the sign up thread

faz would have been force replaced/maybe even zeused for pinging iaafr in the thread and talking to him

but then again u guys are used to angleshooting and i guess scum sometimes compensates for it

I've only played mafia on this site or the old one so I have no experience with how other communities handle this. The MU setups seem town-favored generally from how we play here.

i saw u guys discussing some setup. u looked at the most recent threads on MU and copied those setups. but those werent MUers they were nobodies. its champs season now so all random ppl come and spam the site with their shitty setups. there's a guy called Amrock on MU - now he's the big boss when it comes to MU setups. trust him to make a setup - he knows whats up

i think that u can trust iaafr to make a setup too altough im kinda afraid this one might be a bit scumsided

I read like 20 wolfy posts and nonr of them say anything. Just thinking ouy loud here

im thinking out loud here aswell

That sounds about right.

My formula for the last game of this type was the number of townies should be 2 times more than the number of mafias + 2.

2v6
3v8
4v10

It was way scum-favored. But town did win the last game. You can search texas justice in the mafia sub-forum to see it.
