What can I say? I give the people what they want.

And by 'people' I mean Mafia.

And by 'what they want' I mean a proper chance at life.

Unless you kill Garo. Then it's okay. But he's the only one you're allowed to kill.

That's so wrong I don't even have the right words to try to express why it's wrong.

If you have a greater chance of killing a cit, why the fuck would you just take the chance when there's no reason to? Sure, you could kill the Godfather and tottally disorient the mafia for the rest of the game, but you're still a dumbass for taking the chance of hitting a cit. Why? Because the cit count is just as important at the begging as it is at the end. If the vig says DUR HUR HURRR" and decides to attack someone every night without proof, he's almost guaranteed to reduce the cit count, which makes it that much easier for the mafia to win. That's one less day the mafia has to avoid lynching, one less person who could vote to lynch a mafia and avoid a misfire, and one less person who's going to try to actually help the cits. Every time a dumbass vig shoots without knowing what they're doing, they're more or less a mafia meber with the slight chance to help the cits.

The vigilante hitting the Mafia on the first night is equal to the Mafia hitting the Vig on the first night.



You know, only the vig has a SLIGHTLY HIGHER CHANCE.


emphasis on the slight

A vig can go ahead and kill on the first night

but he sure as Hell shouldnt be expecting a Mafia dead.

If you expect to kill a cit (or the bodyguard or the detective) rather than a mafia, why do it at all?

Yes, the most likely thing to happen is that the vig will kill a cit, but there's still a chance they'll hit a mafia member. It's like a game of baseball/softball. More than likely you're going to hit the ball either towards shortstop, third, or maybe second, but there's a chance you'll hit the pocket right in between short and second, and if you do it is really sweet XD

Sorry for the random sports reference >> I'm tired, and it's the only analogy I could use to get my point across ^^"

No. In that scenario, there is skill involved. Hell, if it were a 50/50 chance of hitting a mafia, you might begin to have some twisted, bastardized monstrosity of a point. But it's not. By killing on the first night, the vig is doing a great service to the mafia. That's all there is to it.

Hitting the hole isn't a 50/50 percent chance. Very rarely do I see people ever hit that spot, so it's chances aren't that high. But some people still manage to hit it, and it's so uber when they do >> And it's not like the vig intentionally goes after cits, and the numbers are still greatly in favor of cits even if the vig hits one, so I can't see how it's a 'great' service to the mafia. It doesn't help them too too much, considering the mafia still have to worry about the rest of the people. It all just depends on how the cards unfold ^^"

*tags in*

Because, one less cit often would mean one less round. One less round is a godsend to the mafia, who play a very tough game of survival, and every round lessened is a great service to the mafia, so much so, that if a vig isn't hitting regularily, they'll often be left alive, in the hopes they remain unlucky. In the off chance a vig hits a mafia member in the first round, it's a big blow, you're right, but the odds of that aren't much better than accidentally hitting the bodyguard or detective, which would be a much bigger blow to the cits.

Let's say there are 23 people playing, with 5 mafia (there really should be seven, but I haven't been constantly reminding everyone of the one mafia for every three people chosen guideline), which leaves 15 cits, vig, bodyguard, detective

So, that would mean a 5/22 chance of hitting mafia, a 2/22 chance of hitting bodyguard or detective, and a 15/22 chance of hitting a cit.

So, About 70% chance of being a dumb fuck-up, an 8% chance of being an unlucky dumb fuck up, and a 22% of being a dumb lucky bastard.
