There were a lot of rules to read for this game over the course of two threads. Shock doesn't say in the first post that there is no executioner. Usually in these games, not everyone reads the rules before we play, so I would expect some of the weaker players to not know the answer to the question if they were town. If they had a quick answer to the question it could indicate they were mafia. It makes me read Vinnie slightly scummy right now, for instance.

I meant it more like this. Keep in mind at the time I did not consider the possibility you were doing it as a reaction test in hopes to get a newbie to slip up.

The way I saw it there were four possibilities for you.

Inexperienced green
Experienced green
Inexperienced red
Experienced red

Inexperienced red was sort of out from the get go, because inexperienced red would know there is no executioner, and probably not have the thought process to ask a question that a red would obviously know the answer to.

Inexperienced green I could see, because if you are inexperienced you might just make a newbie mistake and actually not know if there is or is not an executioner in the game. If you were red you would know there was not. This is what is known as a town slip. Since you have experience this is out.

Experienced green I had ruled out because I did not think of the potential for the rxn test there. Again, I am sorry for ruining that. I now think this is a distinct possibility but I am not sold on it yet.

Experienced red was what my initial thought was, given that you had experience, because if you were experienced green you should know the answer to that question, therefore I thought the move had potential to be red trying to angleshoot as green.

The only thing the mafia would have known about the executioner that the town wouldn't was their identity. Shock made it clear on whether there would be an executioner.

Yeah 42 I think you can think of it as either an experienced green or experienced red play, that's why I'd say it should essentially not mean much either way.

I've probably played 6 or 7 games before this one.  As for the executioner comment, I've already said that was a joke.  I don't know how games usually start on the other sites you've played on, but ours typically begin with some random bullshit before we get a legit discussion going.

Vinnie the point is this -

For an inexperienced mafia member who hadn't paid attention to the rule clarification from Shock, they still would have been aware that there was no executioner, because they would have known there were 3 mafia and not 2.

Does this site have a vote tracker because if not things will get really painstaking later in the day.

Going off, I have work in the morning, probably will sneak on shortly before I leave but if I don't I will be gone for 18 hours.

Seems everyone is quiet right now...... but that's common amongst these games lately

I don't really have a conversation starter so I will wait for a Question to pop

Can you read the first few pages and give us your thoughts of the game so far?
