I dont think so. Scumslip is when you slip about yourself I thought; or slip taht you have knowledge that town can not possess at that point in time. Only *hard* scum slip i can recall was in my first game of mafia. Corazon scumslipped. I think he said he was scum. Town treated it as a freudian slip, cos he was making a case on someone else. Never seen it actually happen again. ============ Spew in my interpretation is when you do a filter dive of a flipped player and build connections. So to me its "filter dive" | ||

It is, for a couple reasons. (1) Some names are really hard to write, so the counter tracks it as 'error' & (2) I still like to see ##unvote; whereas the tracker does not require that. Obviously thats a personal preference thing (3) im not entirely sure if you can bold when quoting etc, cos not sure how the tracker scans for votes. | ||

Yeah, but imho those are minor problems which you can easily work around. | ||

warning - mild wall-o-text is imminent One thing I have noticed recently is that there haven't been many good-quality, thorough post-game analyses going around (at least, as far as I've seen.) There are a couple of reasons I think post-game analyses are valuable to the community:
I know I enjoyed reading the post-game writeups for my first couple of newbies, and haven't really seen them so much since. Now I don't think we need to have one of these (Ver's XXX analysis) every game, or even one of these (Ace's postgame for Carnival Cruise). However, I think it would be nice to have at least something meaningful said about most games. + Show Spoiler + That being said, I would be interested in reading a 'sequel' to Ver's guide, targeted more at the current game setups (no PMs being the most obvious difference) and at the current player pool (since there's very little overlap). That would be a significant project though - for starters it would require a game of some interest to analyse, and players of both linguistic and gameplaying prowess to write it. Perhaps a collaboration between some veterans? I've been tempted to write-up some games myself in the past, but between inexperience at Mafia, lack of time and not knowing what to write I've backed out most of the time. I guess this is a request for comments. Do you think they are important at all? What would you like to see said in postgames? If you've written postgames in the past, what did you think was important to say? Do you have any advice for how to write them? Is it more difficult to write when you don't have anything nice to say about a game? Also, a particular point of interest of mine: do you think it makes a difference whether a host or an observer writes the analysis? In my experience (as a cohost, at least), knowing all of the alignments from the very start warps your view of the game, and perhaps gives you a little more personal attatchment to the game. Is it better, worse, or unimportant whether the analysis is given by a neutral observer, and whether or not they know the roles as they write the analysis? + Show Spoiler + I am aware of the Mafia podcasts which do cover some of the purpose of a post-game analysis - however, I think a written analysis does have a valuable place as well. ~Aqua P.S. debears was involved in the motivation for this post | ||

Not sure though. The issue with this is that you pick up on things because you know said things exist. Whereas in a real-time game with a lack of information, townies might often say/do things that are equally suspicious for some reason, but you're not focusing on them. It's super easy to point out all the scummy things someone's doing when you know they're scum already. | ||

Just time is really the issue when you make a good analysis. That, and if you have a game like aperature 2, taking time to understand all the roles is a hassle | ||

Not sure though. It's actually better if you dont have full information so you have to force yourself to think why people make the choices they do. In my analysis I try to write from a "what does and what should Player X know at this point in the game" mentality. Having full knowledge screws up my expectations sometimes because I don't realize Player X is thinking about something so outside my thought process. | ||
