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.

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:
  • Most obvious - as an educational tool, to take a look at what worked and what didn't, etc. This is most relevant to newbie games but I think most everyone still has something to learn, even if only to view the game from a different perspective.
  • My experience as a player is that it is enjoyable to see the game given some narrative cohesion. Call it emotional closure, if you like.
  • The best post-games make entertaining reading in as of themselves.

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.

I feel like you need to have full information from the start & follow the game closely to make a good post game analysis?

Ver is Ver though.


Like, if I would do it without full information I would miss so much... It would be much better if I had full information from start.

Not sure though.

It's a lot of effort. I would love more post-game analysis though, don't think anyone is against it.

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.

I think if a host (or co-host, or one of the obs - preferrably someone good) who had time to follow the game they are hosting would keep notes (see Ace, Ver - as pointed out) throughout the game. That way it would not require so much effort at one time and the points brought out would be honest.

I could do that kind of stuff possibly. It's easier to point out things as an obs though instead of in game as Marv said.

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

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.

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.
