What’s this assignment about

is this an actual experiment you’re actually planning to run, or a hypothetical experiment that you’re supposed to describe but not actually conduct?

it’s a hypothetical experiment

prompt:

pick a game that you are familiar with and describe a basic experiment to investigate a hypothesis you have about the game.

but like

your experiment proposal already failed because of this

I guess I’m asking

do i have the basic principle of mafia down

You need to keep the playerlist the same to test the hypothesis

no?

Better experiment is to see how people adapt

with enough games i feel like you wouldn’t

and keeping the same playerlist would lead to a definite mutation in the general format of FM

how do you determine good if the playerlist keeps changing

lol we still havent reached fol 100 or sfol 100
in fact, in all the fol games (including fol, sfol, and nfol) the total hasnt even reached 100

this.

we’d basically see a sub-species of FM branch off

i’d bet the last 5 games would be real weird

well

if we have lets say you in a game
and every time you play with 6 people that are completely new to the game

since your roles are randomized you don’t affect the winrate by much?

Depends on the playerlist

Some people wouldn’t care enough to adapt. I’ll argue some people would become hyper competitve with this and get super mad when they try to get this game down to a science

Honestly who the fuck is willing to sign up for this torture

wait no this logic is wrong

because it’s not the same probability for you to roll scum/town

see but even then

meta strategies would evolve

the ins and outs of a certain player would be known by everyone. Someone probably could create an algorithm for this shit

who wants to join me

Are you telling me meta cannot be changed even if you know it?
