vegas 1 dirty cop thread

Posted May 18, 2014 by Xhin

Hello, Feral, you are the Dirty Cop. Once per night round you may investigate one person to determine their guilt or innocence.

Note that the Godfather will show up as innocent.

In addition, at any time you may choose to give your Badge to another player. When you do so, you will become an ordinary Townie and *they* will become the Dirty Cop in your stead! Be careful -- you can do this with Mafia members! (suprised)

So basically, I am a typical cop with the ability to pass my role along at any time. Could come in handy when I get a guilty verdict. I can reveal my results then pass the roll to someone I trust to keep the Cop hidden.

Exactly. But if you choose a mafia member, they get Cop abilities!

Wow, that was fast. Better not to speak up just yet. I'm gonna watch Majora and see who he avoids targeting while looking for someone I feel safe trusting.

Yeah you and the newcomer were both unusually lucky.

Damn, I think Majora is on to me. His post in the ? thread feels like he is trying to set me up. I wish I could somehow go on a date with him. He'd never allow it, though.

Also, I wish LLight hadn't blown the mystery thread. Those non players in the main thread are ruining the game.

You may now choose to investigate someone's guilt

Alrighty, so long as he is innosent, Roxas might just be the ally I need. If I date Roxas, I can confide in him, reveal Majora, and give him the badge. It could backfire if either Evil Guy or Gowlio are Mafia, but Majora's pretending to not know if any of the group are Mafia makes me doubt that.

If Majora gets the date, I'll have to straight up, in the main thread, tell "the player who is dating Majora" to use the gun in exchange for the badge. Since I know that Majora is the second dater, it should give me the credibility I need. And Majora can't out Roxas without outing himself.

This is working out better then I could have hoped. Majora put me in a prime position by voting for me instead of Roxas in the ? thread. If I can time it perfectly, I can swap my vote from Roxas to him just in time that he won't be able to do anything about it, then use my townie gun to compltly blindside him in the Date thread. This way, I won't have to reveal myself to the public or put Roxas at risk.

Sorry the long night round ruined your plans. Perhaps next time will be better.

I'm sorry, did you WANT me to quit in frustration? Destroying the one major play I have done in over 20 Mafia games is a sure fire way to do that. The night round should have still ended after 24 hours, since the game was paused.

Now I'm going to have to improvise...

I'll definitely give you an extra point for it, but I wouldn't recommend making smart plays in this game since there's a ton of extra variables.

And yeah, I am sorry about that, but by the time I realized what you were trying to do it was too late (I was looking only at the most recent moves, not the posts leading up to them). Perhaps in the future hosts can be more clear about when the round ends, or I could even program NIFE to end the round at a set date?

Not quite how I planned, but it worked out in the end.

It's been fun, but it's time for me to retire. I'll collect my pension and mentor my new leutenant, Ghowlio.

Welcome, Ghowilo. Normally I'd tag the above posts, but it doesn't really matter.

Hey Xhin, by the way I'm studying Software Engineering, if you need help with coding I could use the practice/experience. Right now, I'd probably only be useful debugging but after a couple semesters I can seriously "intern" if you'd let me.

Ooh, awesome! How much do you know?

Also bear in mind that your investigation won't happen until after the night round.

Oh yeah that's cool.

I've used MATLAB extensively, taught myself html and a little CSS. Because I used MATLAB I have a basic understanding of Java which I'll be pressing into the meat of during the fall.
