Re: TWG 200 Game Thread: Dichotomy

ostensibly the second game will have lynches too, and I have to assume that cardflips in the second game will actually be cardflips

@Goldstinger
Now here's a question... Do you guys have to pick between one of the four of you? or can you vote for anyone using some bastard shit?

@DaBackpack



What happens if this game resolves BEFORE the main game? Will it resolve BOTH games? The fact that this is a game, means there has to be AT LEAST one wolf or non-town-aligned player in this game, separate from the main game.

notice that logman also lives in purgatory with you guys, so I think that... since both games will lynch someone every day, and if we assume that our lynches end up with you guys, the purgatory game will never actually run out of players until endgame. you guys kill one, we kill one, so your population will not decrease.

on the contrary, since the "living" game has nightkills, the population of the purgatory game will actually be INCREASING over time. if I'm right, then the purgatory game will actually be rapidly increasing each phase

I do believe the situation at the moment is we are required to decide a lynch in 48 hours, at the same EoD time as you guys, between the players currently in this game.

I have no idea if there will be more people that come/go from this game as it progresses, as this honestly throws a shit-ton of stuff in the air:

What if there's a one-shot? Will they instantly die, or send them to THIS game?

What if there's some sort of bastardized Neighborizer that can freely move players from one game or the other?

Yeah I was wondering about moving players from one game to the next... That would be HELLA jank if that's even possible...

Re: TWG 200 Game Thread: Dichotomy

I propose: the second thread is still part of "TWG 200". It is not a separate game. I'm guessing the win conditions are preserved.

The second thread is just the "Loser's Bracket" of TWG 200:

This makes the most sense to me the more I think about it

What if we end up in some sort of fucked up F3 in THIS game with a town/wolf/3p... Two of these have to die leaving only one up here forever?

Would that be considered a "winner" of THIS game?

Re: TWG 200 Game Thread: Dichotomy

This is the problem. Like, what happens if one side or the other for this 'Purgatory' hits a win condition and ends before the main game?

I think this is why both threads are both TWG 200. Nobody who has died is actually "dead" in terms of parity for the overall TWG 200. You're not dead until you die while in the Loser's Bracket. The concept of "parity" does not exist if you look at each thread individually. "Parity" only exists in the context of the "full game": i.e. the complete roster of 26 players.

Re: TWG 200 Game Thread: Dichotomy

how the fuck do you play this game,

[DaBackpack]

Re: TWG 200 Game Thread: Dichotomy

Town or mafia has lost and the game is over.

From the second thread.

There are 4 players in that thread.

For town to lose: at least 2 of those players must be wolves.

For mafia to lose: all 4 of those players must be town.

I think we can actually use this for reasoning?
