about an hour ago:
The scenario going into today was this:
shinyskarmory had been silenced.
macle had two votes due to his mayor.
all other players (one on TEAM A, three on TEAM B) had one vote apiece. For those of you counting at home, that's 3 votes total for each team.
This means that the village could have tied the vote today.
Assuming the village had perfect information about who was who (which they didn't at the time but may have figured out), they could have done this:
If they tied the vote, the village would have been able to draw 5 cards from their deck as opposed to the usual 10 (as the cards would be split among all winners of the vote). Had they drawn two mayors, a mayor and a bodyguard (and used that BG well), or a mayor and a hook (and used that hook well), AND the mafia did not draw and correctly use neither a hook, a safeguard, a silence, a persuasion, a Budd Shot Silence, nor a mayor of their own (keep in mind they would have access to 5 village cards) then the village could have gone into the next day with a one vote advantage, which would have entailed that MAYBE they could continue the game toward a victory.
All of this presupposes that the village knew who each other were (on the only remaining village sheet at the end of the game, both Ullar and Ditto were written as villagers) and play their cards perfectly.
So while the village inactivity on the final day did act as the final nail in the coffin, there was not a huge chance of victory to begin with going into the day. :(
Code:
[23:11:35] <Paperblade> so on a scale of 1-10
[23:11:44] <Paperblade> what % chance does the village have of winning
[23:11:49] <askaninjask> if they were active, all of them
[23:11:56] <Paperblade> =(
[23:11:58] <askaninjask> they'd have a 5% chance of winning due to pure luck
[23:12:04] <Paperblade> ha
[23:12:06] <askaninjask> which is the only reason i haven't called the game
