If I understand the rules correctly, we win if we can dominate just one of the two forums. I think we should pick one forum (probably SP at this point) to focus on for our win. The idea would to be to move as many innocent chumps as possible over to PA, and use the PA GT kills exclusively to eliminate SP immigrants. We'll eventually lose PA for sure, but we may be able to win out in SP.
I can't think of any other winning strategies. What do you guys think?

If we do this, you guys should definitely get Frosteey bandwagoned at some point, so we have a confirmed innocent thrall on our side.

Wouldn't he show up as a Goatse Alt?

i like this plan. we also need to make specials a priority, since they can't do anything on their old forum.

If we get Frosteey bandwagoned, he'll only be confirmed innocent if they don't get lucky and hit any of us on the same night. A better idea, in my opinion, would be to kill him ourselves. That's what I wanted to do with robot, but he got bandwagoned first. If we target him, they'll probably assume he's innocent, and if he gets seered so much the better.

Based on what eaglelaser posted in the other thread, it seems like you and Frosteey move as a unit. So we can't move him at all unless you go too.

Well, my concern is just that the narration would make it obvious that RBB was controlling the thrall. If that's the case, then we need Frosteey to keep a low profile and avoid getting targeted.
So how likely are they to get a network going in the next few days? If they can get like 8 or 9 people networked, then our task is probably going to be much harder since they can pretty much take out any one they seer as a GT.

LCE said "Yeah, according to my PM you're a Goatse Technician, and I'm your alt. I'm linked to you by the fact that if you die I die. My ability is I'm a thrall but the only person I know that's a Goatse Technician is you."
Was he mistaken?

When I asked for clarification on what would happen if I got banned from one forum and switched, he said you would go with me.

Another thing that it would have been nice to know in our role PMs. (by nice I mean incredibly important to first day plans)

So... PA sending over 3 good guys is kinda bad for SP. I wouldn't be surprised if people start demanding the current mods resign and vote the new people into power, and there's no way for us to try to confuse people into killing them, so I bet the network is going to grow very rapidly. It might be time for us to start planning a subtle move into PA.

I gave it a little thought, and it seems like we're doomed. I'll outline the situation as I see it, just in case it sparks any bright ideas in any of you.
Our resources are: 1 kill in each forum, 1 alt in each forum, 2 members in PA and 3 members in SP, up to 5 revenge kills we can use when we get transferred from one forum to the other, and up to 4 additional revenge kills we can use when our members get banned.
To win, we only need to take over one forum. We should probably focus mainly on SP, since we have more members over here. We have 2 kills, but because they're on different forums they're really only as good as one. If we kill unrejected people on both forums, then the overall population will stay the same. We'll just be replacing people with confirmed innocents. Therefore, in order to make any impact at all, PA would have to exclusively kill rejects from SP. That will mean one less person coming over to SP each turn, which comes out to SP losing one person per turn. It would also mean one less person entering PA per turn, so again, a loss of 1 every turn. PA is now tied up with killing SP's rejects, so we focus on SP. We have, in effect, a 24 person game with 21 villagers vs. 3 of us. They lose one person per turn; moreover, every turn two of their number become confirmed innocents. We'll assume the villagers are smart: every time a batch of people arrives at the forum who are not confirmed innocents (i.e. which contains one of us), they will kill both of them. In other words, if we fight a pitched battle, they will all be confirmed innocents long before we can kill them all, and we lose.
I came up with a crazy plan to get around this, but on reflection it wouldn't actually work, so I deleted it.
It seems that the only way for us to win is to somehow prevent one forum from killing people. That will mean the other forum is not only losing three people per turn from not getting replacements, but they also won't be gaining confirmed innocents. At that point we would have a shot. I can't think of any way off the top of my head to get that to happen, though.

Yeah, the fact that most people are confirmed to be innocent when they switch forums seems pretty unbalanced. I don't see us winning this, but we have to try.

I can't think of any possible way we can stop the kills in PA since we've pretty much already lost all hope of a moderator position there.
I think we can really only hope for rampant stupidity in SP, which goes back to our plan of getting rid of the smart folks there.

Frosteey or I could really go after the 'being a special strategy,' specifically the Jr. Admin. I think we need to do something really pro active and risky since they're basically seering like 5-6 people a day.
