Make Mafia/NK Stronger In Ranked Games

Postby Dev321 » Mon Oct 21, 2019 2:52 am

After playing so many town of salem games, I have come to realize that mafia win percentage is just 1% and most of the elo you get is from being a townie. Even NE's and NK's have hard time winning unless the town isn't that dumb.

What I am saying that town is a bit stronger than mafia/ne/nk because they have very good roles like veteran, transporter, escort, vig, medium, spies who literally destroy you till end game and lynch you easily. Are you a mafia? No issues, there is a transporter who is going to block your kill and make you kill your own mafia. Attacking someone? No issues, that guy is a vet who kills your whole maf by just staying on one single alert. Oh a janitor claiming med? No issues, there is a real med who can confirm and lynch you!

Oh yeah sheriffs are the most annoying ones, they have the ability to out your whole mafia by showing this suspicious status. Imagine having trans + escort + mayor + jailor in one game combined, maf's winning chance will be like 1%. Nobody likes being mafia because of this reason, the only thing I request to TOS is that it kind of steps up the game of Mafia members and does not make the system give so many unique + good roles in just one ranked game whereas mafia has only 4 members who get rekt in just d2, d3 due to special investigation roles like sheriff or LO.

Thanks.

First of all, I believe Mafia's win percentage is higher than 1%, NE's have it the easiest out of all evil factions (I can easily win as Jest/Exe in ranked games) and NK take the hardest hit. Your numbers are wrong, but you are indeed correct that evils should be stronger.

Though I do agree that evils in ranked are quite weak, it's a game of deception for evils, not a show of strength. The strongest asset to town is their votes, use that. Manipulate them with stronger fake claims that don't conflict with other Mafia members (the pain of having all Mafia claiming the ONE TI slot).

Remember, it's a game of deduction for Town. But it's a game of deception for evils.

I believe that the same roles should not act differently in different modes. If one was to make Mafia/NK stronger (which I’d agree is warranted), they should be so in all game modes, not just Ranked.

Its a numbers game 9v4v1v1. Of course the faction with 9 has a higher win rate than the faction with 4, which has a higher win rate than the NK with 1. NE doesnt count because, in most cases, they dont have to be last man standing to win.

The problem doesnt really lie in too many TIs tho. Basically maf has to gain majority to win. TIs cant do much if TKs are dead and majority is even.
RBing by escorts/jailor cause maf to need an extra night to gain majority, retributionists cause maf to need an extra night to gain majority (and also give town an extra vote next day). Then theres the TKs reducing mafia at night.. jailor, vig, vet. Even if TKs hit town they limit maf claim space. Then theres TP, causing maf to not kill, which is an extra day maf need.

So basically if they remove ret, escort, trans, mayor, sheriff from RT slots, maf would have more claim space, but more TKs and TPs would be spawned, so gaining majority would likely be just as hard.

Wait, what data are you actually tracking here? I noticed that all the denominators are different, which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. I would imagine that Town and Mafia should have the same denominator, and the NEs/NKs should each add up to the same amount as the Town/Mafia, unless you’re tracking the data weirdly.

I wish it was the process of elimination. Just the other day, I was mafia, I forget what role and the sheriff does the executioner day two bad strategy and gets me hung even though I claimed doc and gave a will, they didn't believe it for some reason even though executioners are an actual thing in that mode, all any. Shit like that happens so often. Of course there were many times I lost due to the process of elimination or I just made a bad play.

It's logical to lynch someone if a sheriff accuses him. Especially since claiming in all any isn't that relevant as there is unlimited claimspace. They could have lynched the sheriff instead of you, but leaving you both alive would be really stupid from town.

did you ask for proof? (even tho a sheriff finding you sus is proof enough.) asking for proof = insta guilty. Always listen to the day 2 claim

Please stop playing Town of Salem or only play classic. D2 sheriff claims are EXECUTIONER strategies. Seriously. He gave a will, yes but that doesn't mean he couldn't be exe. And BLINDLY listening to sheriff claims day two has lead to MANY townies getting lynched by town which is why it's idiotic.

On the same note, leaving them both alive is literally the worst option. ONE of them has to die, so you get concrete information on which one of them is a lying scumbag. If a Sheriff claim says someone is sus, outside of the rare chance of a Framer/HM happening to visit the accused, one of them is evil. One of them has to go.

Besides, it was all any. It's not like there's any other way of finding evils, unless to want to random lynch. If you want to scumread you have to see who voted who and who defended who, and in order to do that someone has to be lynched.

We talk about AA, not ranked. In AA, an accused guy get lynched (in Coven if guy is a Town it is even more likely that they will get lynched) very often. They would need to claim Transporter to avoid lynch. Maybe Ret.
