supplementscene: So given Joe investigated RWarehall as Lib that means 80% chance Joe is fascist
Joe investigated me, you mean?

avatar
supplementscene: Because the only way Hitler isn't in play is if ZFR, Rager, RWarehall and Joe are all Liberal.
I still don't see how or why that means we should rust you the most to be Liberal....though i'm new so there's a small chance I could be missing something.

supplementscene: But 0.45 x0.45 = 20.25% chance that

So nearly 80% chance either Joe or RWarehall ditched. So given Joe investigated RWarehall as Lib that means 80% chance Joe is fascist
No, because it's not 0.45 for both.

Probability of both players getting FFF is (6/12) (the first L is in the second half) * (5/11) (the second L is in the remaining 5 places of the second half) = 30/132 ~= 22.7

(Joe did it before using a different method and got same answer).

Love the conclusions you draw. You see that 80% is the answer to a question, so you think it must also be the answer to a different question altogether (how likely Joe is scum).
avatar
supplementscene: Good to know that Joe is your Hitler Lift. Why would Hitler be outside of the current set of player? The only possible way is if you think every player who's played is Liberal. Because fascists go into conflict to get Hitler in play.

Voting no to the most Liberal player is outing fascist btw.
You? The 'most Liberal player'??? Dream on!

Also: you try to twist my words again. As you so often do. I didn't say that Joe is my choice for chancellor. (Actually I am my preferred choice, which you would know if you would actually read what I write and not what you want to read). I said that Joe is the only available choice out of the great 4. And that's not opinion, that is plain fact, since the other two are term-locked. But it is very much like you to twist something bad out of a simple statement of game facts.

Also, why should we ignore the possibility that Hitler didn't manage to get into the first 4? Perhaps because that is exactly what happened and you want a chance that he gets into government? Of course there is the possibility that Joe is Hitler and of course there is a high likelyhood of at least one Fascist among the 4. However, Micro's initial absence may well have been due to his insecurity how to play Hitler. So I will definitely vote against any government involving his chancellorship. That I will vote against any government involving you, Scene, the most Fascist player in this game, should be quite clear. That leaves me, RFG and Joe as possible Chancellors, as far as I am concerned. Although RFG was quite absent too...

Do you consider it less likely than 78% or more likely? I mean there is the chance got 3 F Policies as a fascist. But it seems minimum that 78% chance of him being fasc.

I mean 22% chance doesn't mean it didn't happen, I've seen plenty of decks Joe could be Liberal. It just seems unlikely

That's not the point.

78% is the probability of cards. Cards.

Imagine this was a 100 player game where only 1 is scum. The probability of cards would still be 78%. Would you, if first two governments claimed FFF, say that there is a 78% chance that one of them is the scum. Definitely not. It's really small that the one scum would just be there.

Now imagine this was a 100 player game where 95 are scum. The probability of cards would still be 78%. Would you, if first two governments claimed FFF, say that there is a 78% chance that one of them is the scum? Heck no. I'd say it's much higher than that. There are 95 scum after all, so at least one of them must certainly be scum.

So if 78% is wrong in a 99/1 player scenario and 5/95 player scenario, why should it arbitrarily be right in a 5/3 player scenario which we have.

You can't take the answer to one question and claim it's the answer to another question because it feel likes it.
@ZFR look Lift reveals the fascist team is himself, Joe and RFG - although the last one I'm not as sure about.

ZFR is the most liberal player, saying you'll vote him down because you don't like his pick is essentially saying you only want a fascist chancellor. The only person I'll vote no to is ZFR-Joe - because Joe is 78%+ chance of being fascist and exremely likely to be Hitler.

You said it's a risk deviating from the players currently in play. When in fact the real risk is picking Hitler, who is most likely to be in the 4 players that have been in government.

The only way Hitler is not in play is if we have 4 Liberals in play. That's the only way, what are the odds of that? It's low but possible.

We know there's a 78%+ chance that Joe is fascist and yet you still want Joe as a chancellor. It's plainly obvious Joe is Hitler and you are his scumbuddy. I take it's Joe, RFG and Lift as the scumteam given you also want RFG for no particular reason.

So we combine the possibility a fascist isn't in play, so 3/8*3/7*3/6*3/5 = 4.8% (rounded up), so 95.2% chance 1 is in play combined with the 78% possibility.

So 74% chance Joe is fascist, correct? Or is my 4.8% wrong?

No.

(Hint: substitue 1/100, assuming there is only one fascist out of 100, in your formula. You'll get an answer that's close to 99% that a fascist was in the government).
I'm assuming 3/8 is the probability the draw gave him an F (3 out of 8 players). I don't even know where your 3/7 or 3/6 or 3/5 came from.

I'm trying to tell you that you can't quantify the probability that Joe is fascist this way.
If Joe is fascist, probability of first 6 cards being FFFFFF is 22.7%
If Joe is liberal, probability of first 6 cards being FFFFFF is 22.7%.
If RW is fascist, probability of first 6 cards being FFFFFF is 22.7%.
If Pooka is really a fascist, probability of first 6 cards being FFFFFF is 22.7%.
If the world ends, the sun explodes and heaven and earth moves, the probability of first 6 cards being FFFFFF is 22.7%.

Just to be clear, yes the fact that RW and Joe both claimed FFF could indicate that something smells. It could indicate one of them is lying. If I get FFF too, I'll definitely be suspicious. But you can't just take a number that's the answer to one probability and say that's the probability Joe is scum.

How about :

So we combine the possibility a fascist isn't in play, so 3/8*3/7*3/6*3/5 = 4.8% (rounded up), so 95.2% chance 1 is in play combined with the 78% possibility. So 0.78x0.952 = 0.74

So 74% chance Joe is fascist, correct? Or is my 4.8% wrong?

Most liberal....to you, based on your style of play, you mean. Also as the ZFR said that's not how the odds work(your numbers cannot be applied to fascists and cards).....I don't know why you keep ignoring/missing that.

I think ZFR answered that already....albeit with a ton of maths and such.

I am guessing he means the odds are 3/8 or close to half/50%

How about there are 8 players...3 of them are Fascist. Odds Joe is Fascist is 3 in 8 or 37.5%. But we don't really care so much if he's just a Fascist, right? Because only Hitler is the real problem, so 1 in 8 or 12.5%.

Assuming you are Fascist, Scene, that changes those odds: 2 in 7 to be Fascist or 28.6%
or if you are Hitler: 0% chance to be a real problem. or 1 in 7 (14.3%) chance to be Hitler.

See how you can manipulate statistics?

But if you go back to the first run through the deck, what are the odds you get 4L passed out of 5. Not only do you have to get lucky with the cards, but also have all governments pass the right ones. Instead you completely discount the luck we had then and laser focus on the bad streak.

Let's take coin flipping. Heads/Heads/Heads/Tails/Tails. You are ignoring the first 3 Heads flipped and are saying since the last two flips both came out Tails there is a 75% chance the coin is doctored in some way.

Did you just repeat what you wrote in post #608. Read #609.
To summarize: 4.8 is probably wrong.
Regardless of whether 4.8% is right or wrong, 78% is definitely wrong, because it. Applies. To. Cards. Not. To. Joe.

On top of that: If we assume (as you seem to do) that RW told the complete truth and got FFF, it means that Joe had 9 cards, 2 of which were L.

So, assuming RW told the truth, Joe had probability of gettin FFF = (7/9)*(6/8)*(5/7) ~= 41.7%
Which is pretty high.

And this is the last I'm writing on this subject.

Oh yes, Pooka, I'm choosing Joe.
You can thank scene.

By yay I meant yay you didn't pick scene, though you still picked Joe(which I have slight concerns with). I was mainly happy you didn't pick scene and hoped we could get that elusive L policy, though you did pick joe so dunno what to think now: Half yay? :\

Also want to ask: Why(besides Scene's posts) did you pick Joe? Are you really so trusting of him? Just asking before I cast my vote.
