and sure, int his game I've edit PMs to protect the identity of blues but if I were mafia I'd never dream of outright faking the whole thing. If I wanted to make up an entire long PM conversation, it'd have to be with someone like coagulation whose writing style (one liners) is easy to imitate :p I'd worry too much that I couldn't sell it in public I'm actually really geniuinely surprised you all view this as a common and likely scumtactic. Goes to show how bad I am at this game really. | ||

I’ve actually been reading this mafia thread since Day 1, and have already read more or less, everything posted. From an outsider’s standpoint, there are some things that stick out to me. (This is likely in large part because I’ve not been involved in any PM circles.) The most important of these is Doc H’s leadership in the town circle. I believe that someone should be better checked before given so much information, so I went back and pulled up some of his posts from earlier. Consider this a make-up post for all the posting that George didn't do. DoctorHelvetica On November 26 2010 14:06 DoctorHelvetica wrote: 90% of shit in mafia is WIFOM, it's compltely necessary to analyze posting behavior I love this post, it’s totally pro-town, and very true. Games are won and lost by good post analysis. This is such good advise, I can’t see how everyone has missed that he hasn’t followed it at all. I ctrl+f’d through all his posts, and he never seriously analyzes anyone’s posts. (Please point out what DocH has done if I’ve missed it.) The closest he comes is to analyze some PM’s he sent, but even then, most of these PM’s have been hidden from us. Analysing PM’s is not a bad idea, but I think that analyzing posts is more important. DocH, If you are going to be a leader in this town, you need to step up to the plate and lead by example.

Which, by the way, was my suggestion in the first place. I’d just like to point out how your feelings have changed. For better or for worse, you seem to have convinced people that it’s OK. Yes, the circumstances have changed, but I find these types of contradictions suspicious. You, as a leader, need to not be suspicious. On November 27 2010 12:15 DoctorHelvetica wrote: The mafia can "fake" medic perfectly by sacrificing one KP per night which is a winning situation for town as long as we restrict the flow of roleclaims/information to one person who was confirmed by a DT. I agree, as long as the person is verified innocent. Have you been role-checked by a DT? More contradictions if not… On November 28 2010 13:06 DoctorHelvetica wrote: Yeah, I would be a great choice for elder if I was mafia. that is true. Of course we should not operate under the assumption I am town. You say that we shouldn’t operate under the assumption that you are town? Sound’s like a safe and reasonable strategy. But now you are encouraging people to assume that you are town. On November 28 2010 17:37 DoctorHelvetica wrote: For DTA, he responded poorly to pressure basically. I'll be ready to reveal the information after the night is over. You never actually let this information out. I’d like to see it. On December 01 2010 03:01 DoctorHelvetica wrote: Pick the person below you. Or above you if they are dead. Analyse their posts. You can find all of a persons posts in their profile and it'll sort it by thread. Read all of their posts and try to get a rough idea of their GOALS. Logical errors, mind changing, things like that are often scummy but townies are more likely to make that sort of mistake IMO. Remember, look at it from a town perspective versus mafia. Ask yourself "what is a player trying to accomplish with this post or with this PM. What does he gain and who does it benefit most?" Another brilliant idea! Yet I never saw you analyse Amber[light] or DTA. If you did analyse DTA, you seem to have made a mistake. Please, You’ve got great ideas, but you never seem to follow through with them yourself. Suspicious. Something that was mentioned in the very beginning of the game, and I believe is very true is that the object of the game is to find mafia, and kill them. Not to find Blues and huddle around them. Yes, finding blues is good and beneficial, but we need to look for red also, at the very least. DocH’s posts have almost exclusively focused on forming a town circle. I’m new and obviously not in the circle, so maybe it’s doing a heap of good. The problem still remains, DocH is not contributing on the forum. He is calling for town circle, and he is calling for role claims on Day 2, which strikes me as dangerous. It’s almost like he’s become frantic for roleclaims. Again, it’s possible that this last medic claim would really win the game, but it seems like a pretty huge gamble this early, since only one person has been reportedly verified. Ver’s analysis of Mafia XXX points out that mafia, and people with roles generally don’t post tons, but hang back and contribute small amounts without sticking their heads out. Townies are the ones who go crazy, say what they want with confidence, and stick their neck out, to point out something. DocH fits neither of those categories imo. He has posted a lot, but never stuck his neck out. Towards the beginning it was great Pro-Town advice. Lately it’s become more and more cryptic, and unhelpful, almost to the point of spam. His pro-town status has been diminishing in my eyes. All of that lead me to believe that he was the GF, and was playing us all brilliantly by getting the identity of all the blues. Ok. Now that I’ve dropped that bomb of an opinion, let me explain what my thoughts recently have been. I’ve looked at DocH’s recent posts, specifically his defense of a few certain players. Many of those players I strongly believed were Blue, so this wouldn’t make sense. He seems to be defending a lot of people. This could be just an elaborate mafia attempt to keep public opinion scattered so that the mafia can sway the vote, but it strikes me as more of a townie thing to do. In general his more recent posts are fairly town oriented imo. In any case, if he has as much information as he claims, the town is screwed if he’s mafia, or if there’s misguided trust of a red within the circle. IF….IF he has all that info, then there’s not a lot town can do imo. So I’m willing to assume that he isn’t red for now, because it’s the only possibility in which the town wins. Shame it got to this point tho… So while I am no longer of the opinion that DocH is absolutely the GF, I think that he still needs to step up his game and start working on things other than the town circle, and role-claiming. In general, I think that there is far too much discussion of who is blue, and the town circle, and far too little analysis of posts and scum hunting. If DocH is the leader of the town, he needs to work on this too, at least to some extent. One last question, On December 01 2010 12:02 DoctorHelvetica wrote: The fact that town is in such a position as it is speaks volumes for how bad an dinexperienced the mafia is. Is 3 townies, and 2 blues a good trade for 1 red, and one Chaos Ensuant? People are also complaining about the lack of information to go on since Ken’s non-lynch. (I personally disagree with this, but I can’t be the only one posting analysis.) It seems a bit of a Mafia sided game atm to me, but maybe that’s my inexperience showing… GL town. God help us all if DocH is mafia. | ||

(to the end of ur post)And yes it is. A day 1 mad hatter bomb is a fair trade. Scara's death was a huge blow to town but a day 1 CE and a night 1 mafia puts the town in GREAT position. Aidnai told me he told you he thought I was GF actually but I can't talk about that too much. But he admitted he was wrong and that he felt silly ;o As far as these ideas and analysis, I don't like to post these things during the night. In fact I think it is the towns best policy to be completely silent during the night, don't give the mafia any chance to change their hits to something better. Unless you are trying to confuse them into doing the wrong thing. 1. no, i just prefer being cautious rather than rushing to play follow the leader. 2. I place no limit on what mafia would be willing to do to accomplish what they want. You're obviously not going to be lynched day 1 anyway. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From DoctorHelvetica: 1. so that applies to anyone who says anything? should town not have a leader? it's really the only thing I did right in insane mafia and I plan on doing it as well as I can in this game. 2. i'd imagine the medic will eventually find his way into the town circle and confirm it that way. faking is hard because you have to fake two completely different writing styles and fake kinda long conversations for instance I got this pm recently from the medic should I fake claim veteran to avoid getting hit at night by mafia? if i get hit while im protecting someone we both die right? so i would probably be safer. do you really honestly think it's more likely that I went through the effort to send the same pm to a bunch of people then fake one persons response through several lengthy and reasonable conversations just to make everyone think a medic roleclaimed to me which only brought me under more suspicion as mafia? occams razor should apply here. if this is a mafia plan, it is a very convoluted one and it doesn't seem to make a ton of sense. if i am mafia, what is my goal with this plan? do you really think this is the sort of power play i'd make on day 1? why not claim vet as godfather or something like that which makes a lot more sense? don't lynch a good player like me day 1 unless you are very sure. this case is a joke, it isn't based on my post behavior or any slip-ups i would have made, it's based on a what if scenario and some shoddy mafia goals i might have that you can't even really explain i'd call you out in the thread but I don't want to cause a big OMGUS thing and make a big distraction. I'm seriously considering voting for brownbear at the moment, but I'm iffy about putting my vote on a good player until something more comes up. and as far as "waiting to come out" what does that even mean. i gave very little information, simply that a medic dumbly rc'd to me and that isn't something I wanted to hide from town. I'm looking for a way, with town input, to use that to our advantage. I explained some of my ideas about how even if the medic is mafia town is in pretty good shape if you want to read some of that PM conversation. but u seem to believe it's more likely i just made up all this shit do you really think my goal here is stronger as mafia than it is as town? i'm not even sure what the goal is, the situation was thrust on me and I'm trying to make the best of it. it's not like i planned for the medic to RC to me at all. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From DarthThienAn: 1. Day 1 towns love town leaders/people that step up with plans. Half the people agree with the last thing they read. Something easy to exploit. 2. Why is faking PMs hard? No one is going to ask you to out the medic, so no one's going to be able to see if your story checks out or not. 3. It's not that farfetched. A mafia player doing something day 1? 4. Yeah, I do know. And that can go either way for me (mafia or town fishing). And judging by the votes, it doesn't seem like you're in any danger. So convince me why you're not mafia, when you're coming out like this day 1 when you could have waited a bit until you had concrete info/stayed in PMs and coordinated blues from there. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From DoctorHelvetica: you think it's more likely that i'm mafia making a play to get me "trusted" because a medic roleclaimed to me? 1. how would that make town trust me more, it's made them distrust me 2. faking pms is the most dangerous and dumb thing you can do 3. you're going to get an experienced player lynched based on a very very far-fetched and bad case 4. u know for a fact i was sending people random pm's and a few other people can confirm i sent them the message "whats up buttercup" 5. i agree that the roleclaim was stupid and ridiculous, i didn't ask for it i can't see what your goal is except to: a. get me lynched b. force the medic to come out and defend me so mafia can kill him let's talk about this via pm so we don't spam up the thread. this situation with the medic was thrust upon me because the medic is an idiot. i'm trying my best to turn this into a win scenario for town. there are already a few placeholder votes on me so lets think this through These PMs made me believe DTA is scum because he accuses me because my claiming of the medic claim seemed to him to be scummier than town but he couldn't and plainly refused to answer the question of how the play even benefits mafia in the first play. I saw it as him dodging my questions when I guess he just didn't even have answers and was simply misguided. This happens. So as far as the rolechecked by a DT thing. THAT WAS MY IDEA. I TOLD PEOPLE CLAIM TO A PERSON ONLY IF THEY ARE CHECKED BY A DT AND COME THROUGH AS CONFIRMED. and guess what happened 4 fucking blue people roleclaimed TO ME without being asked to on day/night 1. Then southrawrea comes out and says "hey btw I'm the townie that the DT confirmed" and everyone ignores him and keeps on roleclaiming to me. After that happens and I have that much information, the town would be screwed if I'm godfather, so continuing on roleclaiming to me I guess is the direction to go since the town didn't listen to me. There were a few people who twisted my words to make it seem like I've always been asking everybody to roleclaim to me when I began this game trying to encourage people not to do what that medic did and to play it safe. But they didn't and I don't think I should be under fire for the poor decisions they made. I'm doing what I can to turn it to the towns advantage. If people feel safer claiming/talking to SouthRawrea then they should do that! So when 2 medics claim to you and from your modding experience you know there is no way jose 3 medics in this game, yeah asking for a counterlclaim is a good idea. Then I have a list of 3 one of whom I know is a lying scum bastard and that's helpful yeah? | ||

Also the pressure is on SouthRawrea and/or AmberLight to reveal my large post analysis/pm history in the case that I die. I'm announcing that publicly JIC of the unlikely scenario that one or both are scum, so they have to release it anyway. | ||

In the middle of the night amber[light] heard a knocking at his door. He gazed out his window, gazing at a small letter on his doorstep. Slowly, he opened the door, grabbed the letter and secured his home once again. He opened the small thing and began to read. He read the words death, and laughed a little. That was until he saw a misty robed figure with a scythe slash into him. amber[light] soul would never find the light of day again. Coagulation and Kenpachi were two brave members of the town however. They spent their evenings channeling their energies into saving lives instead of taking them. Both were completing their duty for the night, and spent of all their energy. Both were walking home from seperate points in the town. Both however witnessed something horrific. Coagulation witnessed a vision of himself falling from a great height, dying upon impact. Kenpachi had a vision of himself drowning to death. Both scared ran home and locked themselves inside. Both gazed then out their window and saw a different wicked smiling man, holding a small doll dressed they were. One threw his doll far into the air. When it fell coagulation collapsed dead on the ground. The second man dropped his doll into a small bucket of water at his feet. kenpachi struggled to breathe for a time, and then collapsed to the floor, water dripping from his mouth. amber[light] the townie and Kenpachi and Coagulation the healers are dead. DAY START! | ||

If there is another DT you have to counterclaim to me immediately. this means either the detective or southrawrea is mafia as they are the only people who know about the medics and Amber's involvement in my circle. | ||

Big poo poo pressure time on: Chaoser Pandain Southrawrea Pandain fake claimed medic to chaoser who then asked me for the names of the real medics. He knows coagulation is the medic. Pandain knows too. SouthRawrea knows everything I know. Vet is the safest GF role. If I lost this game for town I'm truly sorry. I'll probably stop playing mafia forever. | ||
