You are a human. You win when all robots are dead. You lose if you or the other human die.
You are a robot. You win when one human is dead. You may not vote for a human at any time. You may communicate with your fellow robots [here - replace with quicktopic link].
Quite a slow period for the subforum!Could have robo-mod do it.
If we can get one more person, and I can find somebody to send out role PM's, then I can play and we'll have 5 since the game can be self moderating.
Ooh, that would be nice, thanks! I'll put up some guidance for self-moderation of this game later.Quite a slow period for the subforum!Could have robo-mod do it.

As A Human I Am Authorized To Use Capitalization In My Name
@webadict feel free to get Mamobo to send out pm's whenever you're ready. I'll put up a game start post once I get my pm.I'll be home i. about 2 or 3 hours and I'll do it then.
webadict: Who in this game would you most like to have as a human partner? As a robot partner?Hm... Probably Vector. Vector would be very careful and would be the most likely to understand I'm a human. Maybe. Probably.
ToonyMan: Any ideas on how to play this game well?...RECEIVING...
Actually, if ToonyMan is a robot, I expect them to start destroying robots for us shortly.I really wanted to YOLO vote someone in this first post, but with only 5 players I don't want to turn this into the shortest game in Bay12 history if I draw the 25% outcome.
I really wanted to YOLO vote someone in this first post, but with only 5 players I don't want to turn this into the shortest game in Bay12 history if I draw the 25% outcome.It's only 25% chance if you choose me. Otherwise it's literally 0%, since even if you're a robot, you can't vote any humans. Soooo, just saying...
I can't Web. I can't meme hammer this game. I made a promise too (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178614.msg8287776#msg8287776) regardless of what alignment I got.It's not a memehammer if you know I'm human.
But, this also means I'll be forced to vote out the robots. Unless they'd like to do so for me.Isn't there a third option you're forgetting?
I also have a plan in mind in case robots are dumb, so I hope they are.Looking at who's playing I don't think that's very likely.
... The... other human voting out the robots? If I rely on that, I'm likely to get voted.But, this also means I'll be forced to vote out the robots. Unless they'd like to do so for me.Isn't there a third option you're forgetting?
True. My plan here is pretty simple:I can't Web. I can't meme hammer this game. I made a promise too (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178614.msg8287776#msg8287776) regardless of what alignment I got.It's not a memehammer if you know I'm human.
Fair enough.I also have a plan in mind in case robots are dumb, so I hope they are.Looking at who's playing I don't think that's very likely.
Web, I've got a 75% chance of hitting scum if I thunderdome you. You game?A robot would attempt to show me as suspicious because they cannot vote me and must convince the other human I am suspicious.
@Webadict:Toony would come up with the same plan I would. That's why I'm going to vote first. I have to find the human and vote the rest. Waiting for the robots will be futile.True.

1. Let robots kill each other
2. Hammer the player I suspect the most if it's F3 or the robots aren't bussing and we have no time left
I actually think the opposite. The robots can't vote humans so there won't be any real threat when a robot attacks a human. In other words the easiest way for robots to avoid this is by not putting themselves in that situation in the first place.Web, I've got a 75% chance of hitting scum if I thunderdome you. You game?A robot would attempt to show me as suspicious because they cannot vote me and must convince the other human I am suspicious.
Toony, the key thing is... actually you know what, I'm going to let the robots figure out what the key thing is rather than blabbing away my edge.Don't want to make a roboslip? Why are you trying to thunderdome Web right away?
? Baffling logic on that one. The point of a robot is to convince the humans that the other human is a robot, because the only way robots win is by the humans voting wach other. That... seems fairly obvious to me, the person with human voting powers.I actually think the opposite. The robots can't vote humans so there won't be any real threat when a robot attacks a human.

I will vote you if you do not switch your reading on me. :) That's the beauty of being human. All power is mine. If you don't swap, you die. No bluff.Toony, the key thing is... actually you know what, I'm going to let the robots figure out what the key thing is rather than blabbing away my edge.Don't want to make a roboslip?

Thoughts
Currently think NQT and Web are robots.
Pref is my top town read.
Need to see from Vector.
@Web:Correct. Which is why they can only say other people are suspicious. And why not start that early?
Yes, but robots can't vote humans. Any aggression they push will ultimately end with nothing. I think that's the biggest tell in finding them early on here. I agree that this doesn't work for the F3 since the last robot will need to convince one human to hammer the other.
A robot would attempt to show me as suspicious because they cannot vote me and must convince the other human I am suspicious.I doubt it. You're most likely a robot. Go ahead and vote me, robot.
A Thunderdome is pointless. I would just vote you. Which I probably will. If you are human (which I currently doubt), then your current game plan will fail.
Don't want to make a roboslip? Why are you trying to thunderdome Web right away?Web is probably a robot. He says he'll vote first, I know if he's a robot he won't vote me. As for roboslipping... if you think I'm a robot you know how to vote. Do it.
Why do you believe me a robot?I'm going to push you as far as it goes. If you're town, I don't think you'll throw the game on a reckless shot so early on D1, if you're a robot you can't shoot me. SO SHOOT ME!
Vector never even posted though, why ruin your shot odds by not even having a read on them? I think it's the perfect excuse to not shoot yet. It's the excuse I gave even!I was likely shooting you next, so there's that. I would've waited had NQT given me any reason at all, instead of telling me to shoot them.
I was trying to make you rash and shoot so you'd kill me or NQT. If I was town I'd probably talk you down, so I guess that worked.
Webhas seen web playWhy do you believe me a robot?I'm going to push you as far as it goes. If you're town, I don't think you'll throw the game on a reckless shot so early on D1, if you're a robot you can't shoot me. SO SHOOT ME!
I thought you were being a bot baiting me into backing down first so you could be "look he's a bot". Damn Web.And that same attitude forced me to vote you. So I didn't have room to back down either. I mean, you literally gave me no out, whereas I left open some room for you.
If you're town, I don't think you'll throw the game on a reckless shot so early on D1I was clearly wrong.
Another game?I'm down.
I gave you an out too:That's not an out, that's a challenge!If you're town, I don't think you'll throw the game on a reckless shot so early on D1I was clearly wrong.
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=43945.msg845986#msg845986Wow is THAT an ancient game...
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=43945.msg845986#msg845986Webadict has a 100% hit accuracy on D1.
That wouldn't work - only one of them can vote.
- At any point, a player may vote for another player by putting their name in red and bold. This immediately kills them and ends the day. When this happens, no players may post until the next day starts.
It was a win-win for me. If Web shoots NQT the game ends and I win, if Web shoots me it looks like a bus and NQT probably shoots Web eventually. If Web holsters then it's pretty NAI and we go along our way. Unlike Web I don't believe "showing off your human voting power" before every player has even posted makes your vote look like it came from a human.
Why would NQT vote me there?
Can robots vote for robots?Yes.
Me too!Another game?I'm down.
