I just realized that mafia has (or had, if we'd set our slaughter differently last night, but still have with some rearrangement) a theoretical "provable" win requiring no kills past today, assuming I'm competent enough to kill achester without arousing suspicion immediately, and assuming every ec player is around ec at night / reachable within 15 minutes total. The premises are strictly not true since ajliu is busy tonight through day end, but I thought this was worth noting anyway. The plan would be:
-have me kill achester (slaughter last night instead of ltchin) sometime during the day without suspicion. Would be reasonable to expect of a competent mafia.
-at night, have nastya and me kill the ec players in the following order: Nastya kills: ajliu andytsai Jessk ltchin Concurrently (after the first kill), I kill: Tuan Max
Speed is critical because ajliu, Andy, Tuan, Max are in a paranoia chat with me.
Then we hide in our rooms until day end, with Tuan's taser given to nastya.
If nastya gets lynched, they have no way of getting rid of me before day end the next day, and we win (tie?) by "no town remaining" Otherwise, if achester had a taser, we have two now and can win by just tasing both csvoss and Alex the next day before they kill nastya. Otherwise, nastya limits her time spent in public and tases the first one she sees if necessary. Still, no town alive by day 8 end.
Given that we slaughtered ltchin instead of achester, we need to modify this to have slightly more tenuous assumptions: that we can get ltchin, then achester during the day without getting suspected and without making the rest of ec paranoid.
Figuring a similar provable win given kill streaks situation out one game was when mafia decided it was time to resign. I don't think I want to resign, but I do want game to be over...
Obviously this isn't the plan we're going for (probably), but I guess I can be satisfied knowing a theoretical provable win was possible.
Probably, only I will kamikaze today, and only kill provable innocents, to increase the chance that Tuan or Max gets lynched over nastya. But finding and killing the right people correctly is so hard...
