The Syndicate

Perhaps on even nights we'd need 5 players.

2 seems to easy for Maf to penetrate, but 3 should work I'd think

We're really fucked up if we choose three mafia as our trusty players.

If we go in the dark most likely half the players will use protect N1 which can be bad in the late game if most players alive have used all or almost all their shots.

Ideally we should be coordinating protects so we don't waste all of them too early.

Guess our job is to take ourselves from POE and try to get the protections right.

We have four kills each so optimization would be to most players save their protects and only the players who we expect to die early should be using their protects.

I thought about something like this:

Odd-nights: wolves have one kill. Therefore, we nominate three trusty players to protect NANOOK and everybody else rolls a dice (1/3 or 1/4) to protect someone else they expect wolves would try to kill.

Even-nights: wolves have two kills. Therefore, we nominate four or five trusty players to protect NANOOK and everybody else rolls a dice.

I think one strategy is to make players who expect to die earlier to save first. I think the trusty players should be those most likely to be nightkilled early and the everybody else, instead of a dice, decides if they're likely to die (either to nightkill or lynch) and if they are they protect someone they expect wolves to nightkill.
