Nobody else claiming to take the hit?
Also hesmyrr was replaced by pandain right? So essentially the vet took two hits. Maybe the 1st time was an explosion and this time by mafia.
Also d3 claims to take the 4th hit. How would you know? If a medic protects you from an attack, would you be notified? Doubtful. I'm guessing d3 is most likely mewtwo. At this stage mewtwo would do well to eliminate would be mafias now since townie death rate is way too high.
Also Amber did some scummy behaviour creating a 3rd quick wagon when the day was ending. I just didn't think it was good play. Can the real towns people not do this in the future? Should we continue discussion Shockey?
Gabe has missed the votes twice. He has posted much less frequently since day 1 maybe because I've been pretty hard on him. But I'm taking it as scum behaviour. Post some more gabe.

48 hours is not a long time to find scum. Let's start now.
LSB's blue plan is pretty meh. It's not a good plan of attack for our Zams to check lurkers and inactives; they should be checking people who could be scum, including whoever is contributing the most. Keep in mind that all the mafia needs to do is to distract and confuse the town enough so that they make poor decisions.
Remember, the town's best weapon is analysis. By checking the inactives, we flush out the mafia to the limelight where they easily could be found. We want the mafia to attempt to distract the town, this way we can catch onto what they are doing. The town has to be vigilant to guard against these attempts + Show Spoiler +Discussing a plan is one of the best ways to generate activity and catch a scum btw I'd rather we just kill the inactives. I think checking them is a waste. The problem is that Lynching an inactive takes up an entire town lynch, which is far more useful and powerful than a DT check. Our lynches must work twords lowering mafia KP. At the same time, DTs must be used to work towards lowering mafia KP too. Analysis is great, but it can only go so far before WIFOM kicks in and confirmation is needed. Again, what do you propose to do about inactives? Well, here is my thought process. Wasting a lynch on an inactive sucks. However, I would prefer to use a lynch than a DT. Using a lynch is hit or miss, but it only wastes one action, while making more headway to finding scum with the DT. Using the DT on inactives pretty much wastes the DT if it is on town, while a lynch on a player is still a bit hit or miss (unless good analysis is done), and accidentally lynching an active townie would be more hurtful than an inactive townie. I am hoping it does not come to this and that everyone contributes though. I would love for a game without a bagillion modkills. Wait. What? Lynch is less important than a DT check? Seconded. That is kind of bullshit.
Do you really need to say this? It seems totally unnecessary, and harmful to the town to bash people like this.

So let's increase the amount of information available now. Why aren't you a good lynch candidate? You've contributed virtually nothing to the thread and are encouraging us to take a passive role in finding scum.
Um… At this point you’ve not contributed anything great to the thread either. Your first post had some non-comittal plans, but was mostly just a disagreement with LSB. Why don’t you follow your own advice?

Hey look! More disagreements, without giving a alternative….Huh. That accusation sounds familiar…

Another short unhelpful post. Why don’t you add some info to the town, eh? Seriously, you’ve called for “more info” multiple times, but haven’t added anything thus far…

6 scum + 1 third party = 7 / 31 = 22% chance of sniping someone. I haven't played for a couple months but most the player list looks relatively foreign to me so I'm assuming theres quite a number of new players (over half?)
From what I've seen from past games newb scum tend to lurk (correct me if I'm wrong) so we shouldn't give a free pass to inactives. And with new players we don't have any material from past games to work with. And why don't you put your money where your mouth is and vote for an inactive instead of jumping on the bandwagon some clown started?
LOL. Same to you my friend, Same to you. (Minus the whole jumping on a bandwagon part…) Also, your bashing the person who started it. Why not articulate your complaint against that person, instead of just calling them a clown?

With a game of 31 people and a little more than half the people having posted recently it's just dumb to blindvote someone for "just showing up."

My read on last night's events:
Last nights deaths make sense from the context of ridding the town of leadership and/or bluesniping. Tree.hugger had already established himself as a strong town player despite his misread on Kenpachi. I imagine his blue-ness was icing on the cake for mafia. Similarly for jcarlsoniv, who contributed to discussion. RoL is a dangerous player to have for anyone around, and his relative activity makes sense for a blue read (for me, anyway).
Who took the 4th hit? Step up and claim. If you do NOT, then it leaves room for Gengar to sneak in.
I'm having a hard time coming up with more leads at this point in time. With mafia targeting active townies they're looking more to destroy whatever organization we're getting and feed us whatever lies they want us to believe. LSB and Hesmyrr seem likely to me, as does Gabriel. The Eiii/zeks is something I'm not entirely sure on, because I never bought into Gabriel's analysis of zeks too strongly.
Yes! Finally you contribute something more than a one liner! Ok. So an actual analysis of what happened. I think that it’s mostly commenting on somewhat obvious points, but hey, I’ll give you some slack, it’s your first analysis. Also, not that this says a lot, but everyone on your suspect list that has died has flipped town. Just wanted to point that out.

I kind of get that gengar can appear as alakazam too. I guess that's a given that gengar will always choose to apper as alakazam.. to appear as mew? Honestly I would have just made it mew appears as mew, and gengar can appear as mew. There is probably more than 1 Alakazam in the game.

Huh. Didn’t you say earlier that DT’s need to focus on the active people? Why wouldn’t we follow the same advice? Your plan seems backwards. Townies work off of analysis, so it’s pretty hard to get a good read on a lurker. They have nothing to analyze. So why tell the town to do the thing that they are worst at, and tell the DT’s to check the very people that the town can check the easiest? This is pretty scummy to me…

@Kavdragon, I would agree with your analysis of Amber, except that *I* started with a Shockeyy vote. At that point in time we had a total of exactly FIVE votes. You might consider it late in the day, but I'm not satisfied with a town vote on one candidate. Of course it troubles me that my actions could split the vote so late, but what was even more troubling is that we had an entire town willing to go with Zeks based entirely on Day 1 discussion, and very little to go on for Day 2. Someone has to take the lead here.
Secondly, Zeks might very well turn out green and if we have 100% of town voting them, there's absolutely nothing to analyze. As it stands it looks more likely that Gabriel is scum, not me, as he seemingly dodged another lynch today. Are my actions indicative that I did so to derail his wagon, considering only a few people followed? Maybe you should consider the other 9+ people voting on Zeks right now instead.
Oh? I hadn’t noticed you voted before amber’s analysis. So you voted Shockeyy without even bothering to share your explination…The hell? How did the town miss this? And you accused others of jumping on a bandwagon unexplained…Really?

My first thought when dissecting the post was this rather obvious quote: With a quick attack, the Sheriff Ace collapsed to the ground. A quick attack? Well with a player named QuickStriker in the game this looks like a kind of obvious clue. Also he was the first to respond to the first Sheriff Candidacy anouncement of Fulgrim, drawing attention to himself being "amused" by Fulgrim's "I'm not a mafia" comment. This intruiged me. I think that analysis overall was extremely good, from reading up on some earlier Mafia games it seems that the host often likes the come up with elaborate or entertaining deaths. This in itself makes the " With a quick attack " stand out far more in my eyes, and somewhat exonerates the other as possibly just being a whimsical choice by the host. In all honesty this by itself is enough to make me fairly suspicious and Quickstriker I am still more suspicious when I see some of what you have typed. In particular your reaction to no_re's non-serious accusation where you are essentially saying we must "hold off any action untill the DT comes forward and leads us through the valley of death and into the promised land" - I paraphrased, This however, as far as I can tell is an exceptionally bad strategy, the point of electing a mayor or sherrif is someone who seems active, discerning and importantly decisive, and your suggestion of sit and wait reeks to me on manipulation at an early stage. p.s. am i doin it rite? I think Xelin is the Mafia. He's already accusing you of being mafia even though the game hasn't started. Not only that, he's trying to submit himself as the Mayor, trying to find his way around from being lynched off. He knows that if he is able to be the mayor, then we're screwed.

I rather choose some one who didn't impose themselves into trying to be mayor. Brings me to my reason as to why I would want xelin lynched.
Xelin saw that quikstriker was being the most helpful in this thread. He didn't like that, so he quickly picks quikstriker to be lynched. Then soon after post that he wants to be mayor, the reason as to why I don't want to vote for some one that says "I'm running for mayor." They seem more fake than anybody else here. Now I can tell you, I vote for xelin to be lynched 75% of the way.
The other 25% go to those who are quietly coming in that have watched us argue about who to lynch first.

I think it's pretty clear right now that the town should not be voting to kill Scamp. He is right in that at best all L has is some shaky clue analysis. In fact, most of L's clue analysis is directed at other players (Chez, johnny, me) and not at Scamp, go read his posts if you don't believe me.
Something I've noticed is that Scamp has actually taken the time to legitimately defend himself. I remember when we were going to lynch Mystlord, he hardly said a thing and most of what he said only incriminated him more. Right now the only thing incriminating Scamp is L. Also when QS was going to be lynched he came up with the stupid modkill plan that had no way working. Scamp hasn't tried to pull anything of that caliber. It seems to me he's arguing as a townsperson.
To the town, L has already convinced you to lynch our Mayor/medic. What's going to happen when Scamp turns up innocent? We'll be in a bigger mindfuck than we are right now. tree.hugger is clearly the safer vote right now. It's no doubt that if Scamp does not get lynched, L will continue to incriminate him. If Scamp is indeed mafia, he's going to slip up somewhere. Do you agree? Or any objections? For context, was Scamp on his team? Were they in a losing position? A winning position? This doesn't actually say shit until we know what the history was in that game.

Important things to note on this list:
Inactives/single votes
There is absolutely no way we can continue voting in onesies because it makes analysis too hard. Of these on Day 1 we have: Brownbear, kitaman27, ghrur, dinmsab, and tube. Their actions on Day 2: Brownbear, tube (also note that in the above list tube should be voting for LSB, not the other way around), dinmsab with no change. Brownbear's inactivity is terrible and his presence isn't good for the town at all. As for the other two, dinmsab has voted for Gabriel twice and the same for tube -> LSB. If either of these two strongly believe in their votes then they should be in the thread actively promoting their viewpoint instead of sitting back passively; otherwise they might as well be scum.
The meat: Zeks
You might note that the Zeks list is virtually identical between Day 1 and 2, with the exception of Hesmyrr/Pandain and kitaman27/Insanious/Eiii jumping ship from elsewhere. Insanious wasted a lot of time sticking his neck out in a tree-hugger analysis; Eiii is not necessarily scum given his last-minute vote on zeks Day 1; kitaman27 played fairly aggressive pro-town in the beginning but has fallen silent since. For now, we shouldn't care too much about these people.
The rest of the list (and a brief summary of posts):
DCLXVI - not much contribution here as far as targets; just a bunch of fluff
GGQ - makes a few points wrt Zeks (I found them uncompelling, but maybe that's hindsight)
chaoser - some early game discussion and defense of Kenpachi; has cited finals
Oceanic - early defense of infundibulum/anti-Gabriel; has cited finals
KtheZ - early agreement/defense of Gabriel and then vanished
Node - points out LSB, agrees with Gabriel wrt Zeks, believes Hesmyrr's (now Pandain's) roleclaim
ghrur - agreement with Node on LSB
I'm going to take the other three (Gabriel, DarthThienAn, Infundibulum) separately and get back to it tonight. Stay tuned for one more post...
Hmm. This one almost had me. It looks like you are contributing a little, because it’s not a one liner, but then I read it. You give off a list of people with tiny (and inaccurate, imo) mini analyses, that often make no sense at all. Way to go, you’ve just made it look like you’re adding to the town, without actually adding. A classic mafia move.

I don't pretend I'm good at analysis; in fact I'm probably trash terrible at it. Shortened because I have to go to work soon -_-
Here's what I noticed about the Zeks list in particular:
- Much of the voting comes from Gabriel's early game analysis of Zeks. While Gabriel himself could be whatever, at least one of his supporters IS scum. Let's work on analyzing Gabriel and his early-game followers.
- The discussion between DCLXVI and chaoser wrt to Kenpachi is particularly telling. Chaoser's defense is along the lines of "Kenpachi just posts that way" while DCLXVI's responses are "yeah but if he WERE mafia it'd be so easy for him to hide!" Something about this just doesn't strike me as particularly innocent on DCLXVI's part, as he seems to be posting an unnecessary defense of himself when Kenpachi died, and a lot of "we should do/have done X" statements recently. His vote for zeks isn't particularly well-justified; in fact it's a bit of a 180-degree turn as he suddenly shifted from "Kenpachi is scum" to "scum must have bandwagoned Kenpachi in the end to save zeks!" (Post on this sometime tonight as well)
Okay, off to work. Hope that's enough for you guys to chew on for tomorrow. Someone else come up with a night plan? In general, Gabriel might be good to check; DTA/Inf as well; DCLXVI cuz I think so. Medics protect who you can/find most compelling.
This is the first try at an actual analysis, imo. But I’d tend to agree with you. It’s not that great. You paraphrase things with a major bias, and you end up with a weak argument that doesn’t help the town. Then you act like you just contributed a bunch of information for the town to “chew” over. LOL, at the end you tell medics to heal whoever they think is the most compelling, something that you criticized someone earlier for doing. Scummy inconsistencies…

We should therefore lynch an inactive day one. This will force the assassins to discuss and not be able to turtle, increasing the chance they will slip up. PlanFirstly.

Best case scenario we won't have to lynch an inactive person in the first place since everyone will contribute to the town. I notice you avoided discussion on my 'general direction.' Do you support it? Why? Do you now think we should give general directions to blues? I don't not support it (if that makes any sense). I am going under the assumption that our blues are at least halfway competent players, and will be able to think for themselves to use their roles effectively. This may be very naive though. I think general direction right now is fine for now, as long as we don't get too specific, especially Day 1. The last thing I want is for blues to be sniped right away.

If those purposes were to answer questions, they had more of an effect of making him look like hes trying hard to come off as town. Though apparently we should see his purposes as "quiet obvious" to the point where he does not have to explain them. (or can't?) Day 2 Coming soon.

Here's what I noticed about the Zeks list in particular:
- Much of the voting comes from Gabriel's early game analysis of Zeks. While Gabriel himself could be whatever, at least one of his supporters IS scum. Let's work on analyzing Gabriel and his early-game followers.
- The discussion between DCLXVI and chaoser wrt to Kenpachi is particularly telling. Chaoser's defense is along the lines of "Kenpachi just posts that way" while DCLXVI's responses are "yeah but if he WERE mafia it'd be so easy for him to hide!" Something about this just doesn't strike me as particularly innocent on DCLXVI's part, as he seems to be posting an unnecessary defense of himself when Kenpachi died, and a lot of "we should do/have done X" statements recently. His vote for zeks isn't particularly well-justified; in fact it's a bit of a 180-degree turn as he suddenly shifted from "Kenpachi is scum" to "scum must have bandwagoned Kenpachi in the end to save zeks!" (Post on this sometime tonight as well)
Okay, off to work. Hope that's enough for you guys to chew on for tomorrow. Someone else come up with a night plan? In general, Gabriel might be good to check; DTA/Inf as well; DCLXVI cuz I think so. Medics protect who you can/find most compelling. Might as well pull a shockeyy and start defending myself heavily. Next time I would like to see you quote my posts instead of summarizing them tinted heavily from your perspective. If I truly act scummy then there is no need for you to change what my posts say. I voted for kenpachi because he acted scummy and was useless for the town. I said that the defense "well he normally acts scummy" is a terrible defense and we should still lynch him because he acts scummy. Umm, I flipped and thought zeks was highly likely to be scum because I found out that I was wrong day 1 and kenpachi was green? You never have to revise your views of people when we get more information? I didn't think gabe was red (and still don't) and I really didn't like your last minute bandwagon on shockeyy with lsb and amber. That sort of play just screams scum to me. Okay, I get it. You're just a trash poster, scum or not. WTF? Did you read what I posted? I accuse you of changing the meaning of my posts and you call me a trash poster? How does this have any relevance to what I posted? On December 10 2010 15:09 DCLXVI wrote:

Seriously though, I am confused by gabriel. he makes some decent points about hesmyrr looking active but no content and infund's poor logic, but then he supports his points terribly. He attacks everyone who responds to him and then ragequits. Then the people he attacked + brocket vote him. Not sure if brocket is a newbie or is scum jumping on a free bandwagon. I need to read though the thread a few times more to get a clear view of what is going on, but I would like to hear some more posts on why gabriel/brocket/hesmyrr/infund are posting the way they are, not just people jumping on one side or the other.

Thank you insanious and tree.hugger, I hope to see more people post like that. I don't understand why people are letting Kenpachi off the hook for bad posting. So what if he has a history of being less than stellar for the town. We cannot allow him to spam and distract the town because even if he isn't mafia, this helps the mafia. He is playing in a way that benefits the mafia, so even if he isn't (though I think he is), he is dangerous for the town. I really don't like the defense used by darth and meepak of "oh, well this is just how he normally plays". Townies don't intentionally hurt the town by doing what kenpachi is doing.
I'll hopefully be back in a bit before the vote ends, but I feel safe in putting my vote on Kenpachi. Every vote on him is a vote to clean up the town. Restatement of what tree.hugger/Insanious said; no real contribution of his own. Do you just read the first line of what I post and then ignore the rest?

I did my best, I have no regrets Seriously though, I do not regret voting Kenpachi. He was distracting the thread from focusing on possible scum and was posting no relevant information. This does not help the town at all, and we were lucky that he was not a blue. Just because he normally acts scummy does not give him the right to post scummy. It would have been so easy for him to hide behind your terrible defense of him if he was mafia, and we cannot allow that to happen. @Meepak - Why do you want to vote for zeks or gabriel? Do you suspect mafia bandwagoned Kenpachi to save a teammate? Which one of them do you suspect more and why? Please answer these sorts of questions instead of posting accusatory one liners all the time. I was ready to write up a nice long post about the different people who defended kenpachi, but now that he has flipped green I need to rethink my arguments. Sorry for the lack of activity recently, let me sleep and in the morning I'll start pointing some fingers. Post-death justification when one was NOT NEEDED. We all knew Kenpachi was a trash poster in the first place (or at least I did) and that his death would not be missed. No one accused you of anything, so why bother to defend yourself? Because of some inner need to appear innocent at all times, perhaps? NOT NEEDED but asked for, notice I quoted someone who questioned the lynch.

With the number of swing votes that happened last time, I think that it is very likely that some scum jumped on the kenpachi bandwagon to save zeks. Not that Gabriel is posting any better, but I think that it is more likely that zeks is scum.
@amber
I don't think we analyzed the night actions enough. We barely covered the possibilities of what happened, and didn't bother to speculate which player was killed by mewtwo. That in itself could prove helpful to finding mewtwo, as well as finding scum connected to the other players who died.
and I loled at one inactive accusing another. And for those of us that have some BRAINS we realized that Zeks fell into the same category of posting as Kenpachi - trash terrible, but nonetheless a waste of a lynch. Also, if you bothered to do any THINKING at all you'd realize that it's in the best interest of Mewtwo to play town-aligned in the early game. Why are you interested in finding Mewtwo unless you were RED and worried about yourself? Maybe if you had some FORESIGHT you could've prepared better for losing mew. Now it will be even harder for us to find mewtwo, especially since people like you try to stop any town discussion like this. Notice the town cannot win with mewtwo alive, so while it might be in M2's best interest to appear townie, the town still needs to kill him. Why are you so scared of us finding mewtwo? Is that your role? On December 15 2010 05:39 DCLXVI wrote:On December 15 2010 05:31 Brocket wrote:
I guess if a detective (alakazam or mew) wants to check me out that could be productive. I'll show up as either a true townie or a gengar pretending to be one. Chansey's honestly should just use their prevention on whoever they want to keep in and if they decide that they themselves are the most valuable then so be it. Give gabe/zeks a scan too if they survive the day vote and future night attacks.
I could be a blue. Or a townie pretending to be a blue. Would it matter too much to the town if I was killed off by mafia? I sort of think of it as taking one for the team so the blues can get a night off.
I could be mafia. I think I'd like to be just a koffing. I wouldn't know who to sleep as a weezing. I talk a lot as you can see but I try to be productive without any hard evidence (then again who does?).
As far as mewtwo is concerned, he's just a wild card that confuses the night attacks and he's more likely to kill townies than mafia the first few nights until our numbers sufficiently dwindle. Sad but true.
tl,dr; Hey guys I'm trying to confuse the town and withhold information but that's ok because I'm town or maybe I'm not but thats fine maybe blues should do what I tell them but maybe not because that could be bad and maybe mewtwo is bad for us now but good later so lets not worry aboutanything. Nice, finally some condescension. Too bad it isn't an actual push for a lynch. If you're not scum you're still being too fucking lazy about this, and if you are - well, that's the perfect level of sneerage to detract from your own posting.

31. zeks Right now I am trying to get more active, but as far as I see there are about 5 seriously active players. That is why we cannot have the medics self protect like you asked tonight. Night one mafia+M2 took out 3 of the most active players, and I would bet that they will continue that trend tonight. We desperately need every last active player, so unless the medics themselves are high priority targets for the mafia, they should not self protect. I am not trying to open up the medics to be hit, but lets be reasonable. What motive does the mafia have to try to hit random lurking blues over the few active players? Not to mention if they hit mew, they are pretty much screwed. Medics please decide who you want to live and lead our scum hunting tomorrow, Dts follow your gut, same with electrodes. Vets just be tough It would be nice to have some dt's give us information in 2 days (three night checks) so that we know about 1/2 of the alignments with some room for error with millers / GF / fake claims. We could hope for ~2 scum revealed this way, with maybe one fake claimed scum. (all numbers estimated in my head with my assumptions, check yourself) However I think we need to see how desperate our plight is come that time, maybe it will not be necessary then. On the other hand, Double lynching is becoming increasingly necessary. With our multiple bandwagons forming and splitting each vote, it looks like the mafia is having an easy time pulling votes off their team and sending townies to the noose. If we lose to many more townies tonight we won't be able to control the lynch very well in the coming days. We need to take advantage the DL to try and catch back up against the mafia's kills. That is something we seriously need to consider and vote on tomorrow depending on the night kills and the level of town activity come tomorrow morning. I want to see the night kills before I comment on potential scummy players tomorrow. Good night, and make sure you are well prepared for any multiples of trouble. Nice general advice. Doesn't really say much except "Maybe on Day 5 DTs should reveal all they know," not accounting for the fact that the Mafia will target those that the DTs check. Maybe the DTs will check inactive players, but what's to stop the mafia from counterclaiming with their own fake DT and sowing more chaos? There needs to be a better plan than just "in 3 days let's reveal." Of course, I realize that you yourself don't have much confidence in this plan of yours, seeing as how it's just plain terrible for town. Or you might just be TR putting thoughts in our mind. So step up and defend yourself, or I'll be putting my vote on you first thing come Day.

(That might turn out to be more of a blessing than a curse though.) So... can someone enlighten me? I'm newer at this as well, but have been reading a few mafia games, but i think some of the things people want in a pro-town environment are: - Longer, well thought out posts. This way ideas don't get lost. If you post a million tiny posts people can get bored, or will skip over having to read like 5 pages when everything could have just been put into a single longer post and people will have less to read. This way the town can see people who are posting small posts that try to bury information. - Long, well thought out accusations of scum. If you have posts that have like 8 quotes in them, people can better see a pattern in someones behavior. This can also help stop bandwagoning onto an innocent, as with a long post someone has a lot of information to refute, and you can also then point out scum who are using selective posts. This way it is easier to spot people who are trying to mislead the town. - Less peer-pressure, in a more pro-town environment there is less calling out of people, this can result in less blues being forced to reveal, which not only makes the town more vulnerable but also forces a chancey (in this case) to protect the blue for fear that they die. As well, this can reduce the amount of greens that need to reveal, that make them vulnerable due to them no longer being able to be lynch bait. I think those are more or less the major points of a more pro-town environment rather than an anti-town environment, if I missed anything just add to the list. Long posts are better than short ones, attack scum, but not townies. I’ll make a note here that the lurker Deconduo rears his head and posts an “I agree” post right after.

Your first post was almost exclusively regurgitating previous posts. Your second one you seemed to be trying to add more, saying you've read guides, and it appears that you are trying hard to look like the poster child of "how to be a townie". Everyone pretty much knows the environment that is conducive to town progress. It is very apparent when scum tries to disrupt things if they are going smoothly. We just have to catch them as they are doing it before things spiral out of control. Townies don't need to try to look like townies, because they already are. Two newer mafia players asked two questions, I was simply answering them. Its not like I was just throwing that info out there as if it was anything new. Eiii asked what a pro-town environment entitled, while Kenpachi asked how many attacks the mafia can make in a night.

tube your acting simply just very confrontational right now... what chaoser was trying to say is that you have to start the game somewhere. Promoting lynching inactives is a place to start. You never want to end with simply lynching inactives, but the discussion between whether we lynch or do not lynch inactives can actually lead to something that can be analyzed.
Look at every mafia game here, or on any other site and it always starts with the "do we lynch inactives or not", why? Because it gets people talking, and unless people talk then we will never ever find scum.
Activity is counter productive to the mafia, as that means they have to participate more, and that gives them more chances to slip up.
LSB started on the convo, but now we have found a few people acting scummy, and as such we are no longer talking about lynching inactives, but weather to lynch people who've actually said something.
Do we lynch Kenpachi for his posting habbits, Gab for his out burst, Infun for his previous actions, LSB for trying to be the head of the town, or you for just angrily, randomly, accusing people of being scum.
This is where the game should be focused, but we needed a start... and lynching inactives is a start. This I can’t argue with, besides the repeat of “activity is good”. I agree that starting with the lynching inactives always leads to scum slips or at least more town activity.

If he would of just read the OP, instead of posting this it would of been less suspicious. But this seems like another thing scum do, play the "I'm new card" this is a subtle one, that just says "look at me asking this noob question, i must not know much" it is a defense as people are less likely to lynch a new player than an experienced one.

B) So he has a history of lurking, so he just suddenly decides to change his game? From lurker to spammer? C) So now he skimmed the rules, but posted part of the rules in this thread... so apparently when he skims he picks up 100% of some rules but 0% of others? D) K Gab makes stupid argument here E) Again, refering to posting part of the rules, but then claiming to not have read the OP F) Does not refute the "defending infun by voting for Gab" thing that Gab brings up... but he does say that Gab is flawed in believing he will become the main bandwagon... and then becomes the main bandwagon Basically all my arguments are in that spoiler, would just be huge since I quoted every single post that Kenpachi made. Just the major points that I think Kenpachi is scummy: 1) A gigantic amount of posts that add nothing to the game. 11 posts in under 5 hours all of which add nothing to the game. His spam was especially apparent at the start of the game. 2) He posts about the rules found in the OP, and then repeatedly claims he never read the OP. This just doesn't make sense, how can you quote the OP without reading it... this just seems very scummy to me. 3) Answering questions without answering the questions. He posts as if he is answering a question, but then offers no information. This makes it seem like he is helping players, but he is simply confusing them more. 4) No arguments when called out. Gab calls Kenpachi out, Kenpachi posts 2 posts that say nothing and then disappears for a day... 5) While disappeared, the person that called him out is suddenly the bandwagon of the day (started by Kenpachi), and no one is questioning Kenpachi anymore. (even though others were investigating Kenpachi as well when Gab was.) This just seems very scummy... comes on, spams a lot, posts contradictory statements, gets called out, gets the guy that calls him out bandwaggoned, then disappears. So he does a good analysis on kenpachi. Unfortunately, according to the town leaders, kenpachi acts like scum but is town just because. So while you supported your argument well, this gets ignored.

Gah. Um did you even read the thread... Kenpachi was one of the most active players in the thread, but every single one of his posts seemed scummy, he didn't even defend himself once he was put into first place. There was also a very close race between him and Zeks where Zeks was also kind of active... we didn't go after an inactive at all, don't know where your information is coming from...\ Also if you look, there were like 6 - 7 vote switches near the end of the vote, as well numerous people were talking in the thread asking for kenpachi to defend himself...

And that’s it. It seemed much longer but about half the hits for “insanious” when I searched the thread were people quoting him and asking for real content, putting him on an inactive list, or asking for more contributions from him. My opinion on him changed very much over the course of this analysis. At fist he was the perfect semi lurker scum. Long fluffy posts, answering questions, appearing active. He then goes on to make several posts which I consider to be good, of course because he had the same views on subjects that I did and he backed it up with strong logic. After that he drops off in activity, only posting to FOS people without reason or call for more activity from others.
If I were to take a guess I would put him more likely to be scum/M2. His lack of activity hurts the town, and what he does post is even worse. He did have that one good spurt of posting, which I think must be to throw people off. However, many other people disagreed with his posts there so maybe I’m just wrong and he posted badly the whole game. Please read and comment on what you think about him. Especially you Insanious.

Satisfactory analyses, well done gentlemen.
DCLXVI even bought attention to himself about the two voters against him being eliminated via analysing insanious. So it's a sign of honesty but the fact is still suss. I'm still not trusting Gabe because of kenpachi+ jcarl.
d3 hasn't been very consistent, that much is true. Why is it that townies seem to crumble when they are accused, you've got nothing to hide, don't make things worse by blurting out names and getting unnecessarily offended by accusation.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if d3 is mewtwo, but I'm not sure if I've got the confidence to lynch what may be a veteran. I'm a lot more suspicious of DCL than I am of insanious -- I haven't actually noticed DCL's posts before now, though it's possible that's because insanious had some pressure put on him earlier in the game, whereas DCL has been largely ignored.

Seriously though, I am confused by gabriel. he makes some decent points about hesmyrr looking active but no content and infund's poor logic, but then he supports his points terribly. He attacks everyone who responds to him and then ragequits. Then the people he attacked + brocket vote him. Not sure if brocket is a newbie or is scum jumping on a free bandwagon. I need to read though the thread a few times more to get a clear view of what is going on, but I would like to hear some more posts on why gabriel/brocket/hesmyrr/infund are posting the way they are, not just people jumping on one side or the other. Trying to deflect attention by saying that he came in late, didn't pay attention, and needs to read the thread. Then he FoS's 4 people with no analysis saying that he needs to read the thread before he can analyze anyone... so if he hasn't read the thread thoroughly how can you accurately FoS people, and why should we even listen to your FoS's without any analysis done at all. Then you don't even read the thread, you just disapear for a day and a half... (December 10 15:09 -> December 12 3:39). Hey look, you said "I'll do analysis" then you didn't analyze anyone.

Thank you insanious and tree.hugger, I hope to see more people post like that. I don't understand why people are letting Kenpachi off the hook for bad posting. So what if he has a history of being less than stellar for the town. We cannot allow him to spam and distract the town because even if he isn't mafia, this helps the mafia. He is playing in a way that benefits the mafia, so even if he isn't (though I think he is), he is dangerous for the town. I really don't like the defense used by darth and meepak of "oh, well this is just how he normally plays". Townies don't intentionally hurt the town by doing what kenpachi is doing.
I'll hopefully be back in a bit before the vote ends, but I feel safe in putting my vote on Kenpachi. Every vote on him is a vote to clean up the town. Ok, so in this post your saying that I post well, but then in your analysis you say that I don't post well at all... Also not that you haven't posted in 2 days, you just pop up and go "Well done people, your looking good hunting Kenpachi, lets continue to kill this guy who posts poorly." In your post about me, you make it seem like I should of known Kenpachi was town, and not voted for him. Here, you are congratulating my posting and saying Kenpachi needs to die... Why such a turn?

Guys...for everyone who played Salem...that's just how he plays -_- he was playing the exact same way he did in Salem, if he was mafia there would have been slight differences -_-. No comment. I did my best, I have no regrets Seriously though, I do not regret voting Kenpachi. He was distracting the thread from focusing on possible scum and was posting no relevant information. This does not help the town at all, and we were lucky that he was not a blue. Just because he normally acts scummy does not give him the right to post scummy. It would have been so easy for him to hide behind your terrible defense of him if he was mafia, and we cannot allow that to happen. @Meepak - Why do you want to vote for zeks or gabriel? Do you suspect mafia bandwagoned Kenpachi to save a teammate? Which one of them do you suspect more and why? Please answer these sorts of questions instead of posting accusatory one liners all the time. I was ready to write up a nice long post about the different people who defended kenpachi, but now that he has flipped green I need to rethink my arguments. Sorry for the lack of activity recently, let me sleep and in the morning I'll start pointing some fingers. Here there are a few problems that I see. "I did my best, I have no regrets" - You didn't analyze Kenpachi at all, you didn't contribute to his lynching, and yet you are taking part of the blame... you bandwaggoned onto him because my Tree.Hugger (blue) and my post. You even said above that it was because of me and Tree.Hugger that you voted Kenpachi. Then you say that voting town that act scummy is ok, because it helps the town get rid of distractions, but in the thread people have been lambasting people for saying the same thing... surprised you got away unscathed. Then again, for the 3rd time, you go "Hey guys, look at someone who isn't me, why? Well I have no analysis, but I'm leaving for 10+ hours" You say you are going to analyze people, but never do. It makes it seem like you are contributing to lynches but aren't. On December 13 2010 12:33 DCLXVI wrote:

Although, you called me out for asking questions in the thread (that if you payed attention to the posts around those questions, you would realize more than 1 other person was wondering the same thing, as such getting answered in the thread helped the town more than just me getting the answer in a PM).

I don't think we analyzed the night actions enough. We barely covered the possibilities of what happened, and didn't bother to speculate which player was killed by mewtwo. That in itself could prove helpful to finding mewtwo, as well as finding scum connected to the other players who died.
and I loled at one inactive accusing another. Here you point fingers at Gabriel, with no analysis, and then jump off to answer a question. Again no real content, just directions that you could have done your self. Also want to point out that here you again disappeared for over a day and a half. December 13 12:333 -> December 15 5:23. So many times that you post, then disappear for 36 hours, seems like a reoccurring event. Looks like you are trying to keep being seen without actually being seen.

I could be a blue. Or a townie pretending to be a blue. Would it matter too much to the town if I was killed off by mafia? I sort of think of it as taking one for the team so the blues can get a night off.
I could be mafia. I think I'd like to be just a koffing. I wouldn't know who to sleep as a weezing. I talk a lot as you can see but I try to be productive without any hard evidence (then again who does?).
As far as mewtwo is concerned, he's just a wild card that confuses the night attacks and he's more likely to kill townies than mafia the first few nights until our numbers sufficiently dwindle. Sad but true.
tl,dr; Hey guys I'm trying to confuse the town and withhold information but that's ok because I'm town or maybe I'm not but thats fine maybe blues should do what I tell them but maybe not because that could be bad and maybe mewtwo is bad for us now but good later so lets not worry aboutanything. No real content, just being sarcastic. Especially since if you read the post around Brocket's you would know that he was replying to the conversation around his post, rather then just randomly stating a lot of what he said... maybe if during the 36 hours you were not here you actually read up on the posts, you would actually be useful, instead of trying to get people to FoS Brocket. WoW what another reoccurring theme, not only do you disappear for 36 hour stints, but when you pop up, you FoS active members of the community with no analysis, and then disappear again for someone else to pick up the detective work for you.

31. zeks Right now I am trying to get more active, but as far as I see there are about 5 seriously active players. That is why we cannot have the medics self protect like you asked tonight. Night one mafia+M2 took out 3 of the most active players, and I would bet that they will continue that trend tonight. We desperately need every last active player, so unless the medics themselves are high priority targets for the mafia, they should not self protect. I am not trying to open up the medics to be hit, but lets be reasonable. What motive does the mafia have to try to hit random lurking blues over the few active players? Not to mention if they hit mew, they are pretty much screwed. Medics please decide who you want to live and lead our scum hunting tomorrow, Dts follow your gut, same with electrodes. Vets just be tough It would be nice to have some dt's give us information in 2 days (three night checks) so that we know about 1/2 of the alignments with some room for error with millers / GF / fake claims. We could hope for ~2 scum revealed this way, with maybe one fake claimed scum. (all numbers estimated in my head with my assumptions, check yourself) However I think we need to see how desperate our plight is come that time, maybe it will not be necessary then. On the other hand, Double lynching is becoming increasingly necessary. With our multiple bandwagons forming and splitting each vote, it looks like the mafia is having an easy time pulling votes off their team and sending townies to the noose. If we lose to many more townies tonight we won't be able to control the lynch very well in the coming days. We need to take advantage the DL to try and catch back up against the mafia's kills. That is something we seriously need to consider and vote on tomorrow depending on the night kills and the level of town activity come tomorrow morning. I want to see the night kills before I comment on potential scummy players tomorrow. Good night, and make sure you are well prepared for any multiples of trouble. Once again playing the "Sorry I don't read the thread a lot" card before posting a huge post that is filled with what you think the town should do... and again with no substance or back up. You say "the mafia is killing off active players" well duh, we all knew that. That's why everyone has been telling people to protect active players. "well maybe we should do this, or do this, or do this" with no real reasons why, or how those things will help the town... its a long confusing post that really says nothing. Why do you keep telling people who to lynch and how to act without actually contributing to the thread? No analysis, just FoS and gone.

Here's what I noticed about the Zeks list in particular:
- Much of the voting comes from Gabriel's early game analysis of Zeks. While Gabriel himself could be whatever, at least one of his supporters IS scum. Let's work on analyzing Gabriel and his early-game followers.
- The discussion between DCLXVI and chaoser wrt to Kenpachi is particularly telling. Chaoser's defense is along the lines of "Kenpachi just posts that way" while DCLXVI's responses are "yeah but if he WERE mafia it'd be so easy for him to hide!" Something about this just doesn't strike me as particularly innocent on DCLXVI's part, as he seems to be posting an unnecessary defense of himself when Kenpachi died, and a lot of "we should do/have done X" statements recently. His vote for zeks isn't particularly well-justified; in fact it's a bit of a 180-degree turn as he suddenly shifted from "Kenpachi is scum" to "scum must have bandwagoned Kenpachi in the end to save zeks!"

Okay, off to work. Hope that's enough for you guys to chew on for tomorrow. Someone else come up with a night plan? In general, Gabriel might be good to check; DTA/Inf as well; DCLXVI cuz I think so. Medics protect who you can/find most compelling. Might as well pull a shockeyy and start defending myself heavily. Next time I would like to see you quote my posts instead of summarizing them tinted heavily from your perspective. If I truly act scummy then there is no need for you to change what my posts say. I voted for kenpachi because he acted scummy and was useless for the town. I said that the defense "well he normally acts scummy" is a terrible defense and we should still lynch him because he acts scummy. Umm, I flipped and thought zeks was highly likely to be scum because I found out that I was wrong day 1 and kenpachi was green? You never have to revise your views of people when we get more information? I didn't think gabe was red (and still don't) and I really didn't like your last minute bandwagon on shockeyy with lsb and amber. That sort of play just screams scum to me. Calling out a bandwagon that never happened (as posted later by other players). You also come back again, saying people are targeted you, but its really only D3 (who subsequently has FoS'ed at least 10 different people this thread if you read it). Now you defend your self without really defending your self... "I voted these guys because they looked scummy, period." no analysis of anything, you can't even point back to a post where you did any analysis all game... Then you FoS D3, LSB, and Amber at the bottom, again with no analysis at all. Just a gut feeling and them voting Shockeyy.

Why are you interested in finding Mewtwo unless you were RED and worried about yourself? Maybe if you had some FORESIGHT you could've prepared better for losing mew. Now it will be even harder for us to find mewtwo, especially since people like you try to stop any town discussion like this.

Here's what I noticed about the Zeks list in particular:
- Much of the voting comes from Gabriel's early game analysis of Zeks. While Gabriel himself could be whatever, at least one of his supporters IS scum. Let's work on analyzing Gabriel and his early-game followers.
- The discussion between DCLXVI and chaoser wrt to Kenpachi is particularly telling. Chaoser's defense is along the lines of "Kenpachi just posts that way" while DCLXVI's responses are "yeah but if he WERE mafia it'd be so easy for him to hide!" Something about this just doesn't strike me as particularly innocent on DCLXVI's part, as he seems to be posting an unnecessary defense of himself when Kenpachi died, and a lot of "we should do/have done X" statements recently. His vote for zeks isn't particularly well-justified; in fact it's a bit of a 180-degree turn as he suddenly shifted from "Kenpachi is scum" to "scum must have bandwagoned Kenpachi in the end to save zeks!" (Post on this sometime tonight as well)
Okay, off to work. Hope that's enough for you guys to chew on for tomorrow. Someone else come up with a night plan? In general, Gabriel might be good to check; DTA/Inf as well; DCLXVI cuz I think so. Medics protect who you can/find most compelling. Might as well pull a shockeyy and start defending myself heavily. Next time I would like to see you quote my posts instead of summarizing them tinted heavily from your perspective. If I truly act scummy then there is no need for you to change what my posts say. I voted for kenpachi because he acted scummy and was useless for the town. I said that the defense "well he normally acts scummy" is a terrible defense and we should still lynch him because he acts scummy. Umm, I flipped and thought zeks was highly likely to be scum because I found out that I was wrong day 1 and kenpachi was green? You never have to revise your views of people when we get more information? I didn't think gabe was red (and still don't) and I really didn't like your last minute bandwagon on shockeyy with lsb and amber. That sort of play just screams scum to me. Okay, I get it. You're just a trash poster, scum or not. WTF? Did you read what I posted? I accuse you of changing the meaning of my posts and you call me a trash poster? How does this have any relevance to what I posted? On December 10 2010 15:09 DCLXVI wrote:

Seriously though, I am confused by gabriel. he makes some decent points about hesmyrr looking active but no content and infund's poor logic, but then he supports his points terribly. He attacks everyone who responds to him and then ragequits. Then the people he attacked + brocket vote him. Not sure if brocket is a newbie or is scum jumping on a free bandwagon. I need to read though the thread a few times more to get a clear view of what is going on, but I would like to hear some more posts on why gabriel/brocket/hesmyrr/infund are posting the way they are, not just people jumping on one side or the other.

Thank you insanious and tree.hugger, I hope to see more people post like that. I don't understand why people are letting Kenpachi off the hook for bad posting. So what if he has a history of being less than stellar for the town. We cannot allow him to spam and distract the town because even if he isn't mafia, this helps the mafia. He is playing in a way that benefits the mafia, so even if he isn't (though I think he is), he is dangerous for the town. I really don't like the defense used by darth and meepak of "oh, well this is just how he normally plays". Townies don't intentionally hurt the town by doing what kenpachi is doing.
I'll hopefully be back in a bit before the vote ends, but I feel safe in putting my vote on Kenpachi. Every vote on him is a vote to clean up the town. Restatement of what tree.hugger/Insanious said; no real contribution of his own. Do you just read the first line of what I post and then ignore the rest?

I did my best, I have no regrets Seriously though, I do not regret voting Kenpachi. He was distracting the thread from focusing on possible scum and was posting no relevant information. This does not help the town at all, and we were lucky that he was not a blue. Just because he normally acts scummy does not give him the right to post scummy. It would have been so easy for him to hide behind your terrible defense of him if he was mafia, and we cannot allow that to happen. @Meepak - Why do you want to vote for zeks or gabriel? Do you suspect mafia bandwagoned Kenpachi to save a teammate? Which one of them do you suspect more and why? Please answer these sorts of questions instead of posting accusatory one liners all the time. I was ready to write up a nice long post about the different people who defended kenpachi, but now that he has flipped green I need to rethink my arguments. Sorry for the lack of activity recently, let me sleep and in the morning I'll start pointing some fingers. Post-death justification when one was NOT NEEDED. We all knew Kenpachi was a trash poster in the first place (or at least I did) and that his death would not be missed. No one accused you of anything, so why bother to defend yourself? Because of some inner need to appear innocent at all times, perhaps? NOT NEEDED but asked for, notice I quoted someone who questioned the lynch. I'm sorry for further explaining my rationale behind voting, perhaps next till I will just randomly vote people off a list like you do: On December 14 2010 23:47 d3_crescentia wrote:

With the number of swing votes that happened last time, I think that it is very likely that some scum jumped on the kenpachi bandwagon to save zeks. Not that Gabriel is posting any better, but I think that it is more likely that zeks is scum.
@amber
I don't think we analyzed the night actions enough. We barely covered the possibilities of what happened, and didn't bother to speculate which player was killed by mewtwo. That in itself could prove helpful to finding mewtwo, as well as finding scum connected to the other players who died.
and I loled at one inactive accusing another. And for those of us that have some BRAINS we realized that Zeks fell into the same category of posting as Kenpachi - trash terrible, but nonetheless a waste of a lynch. Also, if you bothered to do any THINKING at all you'd realize that it's in the best interest of Mewtwo to play town-aligned in the early game. Why are you interested in finding Mewtwo unless you were RED and worried about yourself? Maybe if you had some FORESIGHT you could've prepared better for losing mew. Now it will be even harder for us to find mewtwo, especially since people like you try to stop any town discussion like this. Notice the town cannot win with mewtwo alive, so while it might be in M2's best interest to appear townie, the town still needs to kill him. Why are you so scared of us finding mewtwo? Is that your role? On December 15 2010 05:39 DCLXVI wrote:On December 15 2010 05:31 Brocket wrote:

Give gabe/zeks a scan too if they survive the day vote and future night attacks.
I could be a blue. Or a townie pretending to be a blue. Would it matter too much to the town if I was killed off by mafia? I sort of think of it as taking one for the team so the blues can get a night off.
I could be mafia. I think I'd like to be just a koffing. I wouldn't know who to sleep as a weezing. I talk a lot as you can see but I try to be productive without any hard evidence (then again who does?).
As far as mewtwo is concerned, he's just a wild card that confuses the night attacks and he's more likely to kill townies than mafia the first few nights until our numbers sufficiently dwindle. Sad but true.
tl,dr; Hey guys I'm trying to confuse the town and withhold information but that's ok because I'm town or maybe I'm not but thats fine maybe blues should do what I tell them but maybe not because that could be bad and maybe mewtwo is bad for us now but good later so lets not worry aboutanything. Nice, finally some condescension. Too bad it isn't an actual push for a lynch. If you're not scum you're still being too fucking lazy about this, and if you are - well, that's the perfect level of sneerage to detract from your own posting.

31. zeks Right now I am trying to get more active, but as far as I see there are about 5 seriously active players. That is why we cannot have the medics self protect like you asked tonight. Night one mafia+M2 took out 3 of the most active players, and I would bet that they will continue that trend tonight. We desperately need every last active player, so unless the medics themselves are high priority targets for the mafia, they should not self protect. I am not trying to open up the medics to be hit, but lets be reasonable. What motive does the mafia have to try to hit random lurking blues over the few active players? Not to mention if they hit mew, they are pretty much screwed. Medics please decide who you want to live and lead our scum hunting tomorrow, Dts follow your gut, same with electrodes. Vets just be tough It would be nice to have some dt's give us information in 2 days (three night checks) so that we know about 1/2 of the alignments with some room for error with millers / GF / fake claims. We could hope for ~2 scum revealed this way, with maybe one fake claimed scum. (all numbers estimated in my head with my assumptions, check yourself) However I think we need to see how desperate our plight is come that time, maybe it will not be necessary then. On the other hand, Double lynching is becoming increasingly necessary. With our multiple bandwagons forming and splitting each vote, it looks like the mafia is having an easy time pulling votes off their team and sending townies to the noose. If we lose to many more townies tonight we won't be able to control the lynch very well in the coming days. We need to take advantage the DL to try and catch back up against the mafia's kills. That is something we seriously need to consider and vote on tomorrow depending on the night kills and the level of town activity come tomorrow morning. I want to see the night kills before I comment on potential scummy players tomorrow. Good night, and make sure you are well prepared for any multiples of trouble. Nice general advice. Doesn't really say much except "Maybe on Day 5 DTs should reveal all they know," not accounting for the fact that the Mafia will target those that the DTs check. Maybe the DTs will check inactive players, but what's to stop the mafia from counterclaiming with their own fake DT and sowing more chaos? There needs to be a better plan than just "in 3 days let's reveal." Of course, I realize that you yourself don't have much confidence in this plan of yours, seeing as how it's just plain terrible for town. Or you might just be TR putting thoughts in our mind. So step up and defend yourself, or I'll be putting my vote on you first thing come Day. Yeah I guess I don't say much besides criticizing LSB's plan and commenting on the double lynch benefits and outline a decent plan for the medics to follow (which they didn't, and now we lost more active townies ).

Funny, "why don't you post real content" why don't you DCL? I mean really... here you call out d3 for terrible analysis when you have done 0 analysis all game. At least d3 is trying, heck even if he is mafia at least the town gets some information even if skewed, at least this gives the town paths to go down.

Now that Hesmyrr/Pandain has taken the second hit, we know that he was indeed telling the truth. Here Gabriel discredits the hit claim to prevent the existence of a town confirmed member. Why would Hesmyrr claim taking a hit if he was mafia? That doesn't make sense. While I believe he stated that in a poor manner, Gabriel is technically right, however unlikely the situation is. Hesmyrr could have been mewtwo, which would be a great way to get into the town's confirmed list. Mafia could've stacked hits on someone, then had hesmyrr claim, to get him confirmed. While both options are highly unlikely, there are possibilities. Highly likely but not fully confirmed would've been a better way to put it. Pulling out random conspiracy theories... although possible, I think few mafia would of thought to do anything like this... especially since they are so close to winning, they don't need to hide when the town is so fractured.

With our multiple bandwagons forming and splitting each vote, it looks like the mafia is having an easy time pulling votes off their team and sending townies to the noose. If we lose to many more townies tonight we won't be able to control the lynch very well in the coming days. We need to take advantage the DL to try and catch back up against the mafia's kills. That is something we seriously need to consider and vote on tomorrow depending on the night kills and the level of town activity come tomorrow morning. I want to see the night kills before I comment on potential scummy players tomorrow. Good night, and make sure you are well prepared for any multiples of trouble. Nice general advice. Doesn't really say much except "Maybe on Day 5 DTs should reveal all they know," not accounting for the fact that the Mafia will target those that the DTs check. Maybe the DTs will check inactive players, but what's to stop the mafia from counterclaiming with their own fake DT and sowing more chaos? There needs to be a better plan than just "in 3 days let's reveal." Of course, I realize that you yourself don't have much confidence in this plan of yours, seeing as how it's just plain terrible for town. Or you might just be TR putting thoughts in our mind. So step up and defend yourself, or I'll be putting my vote on you first thing come Day. Yeah I guess I don't say much besides criticizing LSB's plan and commenting on the double lynch benefits and outline a decent plan for the medics to follow (which they didn't, and now we lost more active townies ). I guess I should post more like you: On December 16 2010 10:39 d3_crescentia wrote:On December 16 2010 10:35 LSB wrote:

Because that seems like one of the scummiest plans I can think of, but you manage to pull it off and people think you are one of the towniest of us all. Congratulations on returning fire; don't you feel GREAT about yourself now that you've contributed a post that amounts to a "NO U"? I'm sorry, "medics protect who you think you should" isn't telling them anything they don't know already. Post some real content for fuck's sake, because criticism and disagreement means jack shit unless you provide alternatives. If you haven't noticed, I'm trying to get town back on the right track, whereas all you do is whine about how I've mischaracterized you instead of contributing. Go analyze some other people, unless you're too scared to out your scum buddies. You don't seem to understand that I am calling you out for doing a terrible analysis. You are not helping the town by doing so. Once again you take half of what I say and turn it to fit your fancy. I asked for the medics to protect the town leaders over themselves, READ MY POSTS. Also, what happened to the rest of your "analysis"? I'm just right so you ignore it and flame me? Why don't you post some REAL content instead of calling for everyone else to do it instead? I did read your posts. I found them wanting. If I'm doing a terrible analysis then do a better one. Make it on me. Make it on someone else. I don't really care; just make it so that you're doing it on someone and that town can benefit from the discussion. I am trying my best to offer something that resembles analysis, but if half the town is sitting around scratching their heads and saying "durr should we lynch shockeyy now" when we are down 4 blues then we are going to lose, period. That's the problem I have with you. You offer no viable alternatives. You offer vague plans. You offer mild criticism but don't push for anything concrete. If you think my posts are terrible and deliberately designed to mislead town then for fuck's sake get the entire town to vote me and be done with it. I find you "analysis" lacking. You also add nothing to the discussion, just attack random people with poor logic. I will take you up on your offer however. It seems as if kevdragon has claimed you though, so I will analyze Insanious instead. While I am composing it I would like to see you add something to the town too, and remember, quote don't summarize Hmmm so you point out that someone is doing analysis and that it is lacking, when you have yet to analyze anyone at all... Then you randomly FoS me... where that comes from I don't know, although you have already FoS'ed at least 5 people (maybe more haven't been counting) with no analysis... suprised some actually came this time.

Ill read over the KD analysis on d3 tomorrow, to tired now. I look forward to see your contribution d3. 3 spam posts in a row, saying you have to go to bed, which really doesn't matter to the town. So you do an analysis then spam the thread, good job?
- - - - - - - -
Overall... this is what I see:
1) Inactive poster, that posted every 36 hours according to the post dates on this posts
2) Poster that when ever he posted something FoS'd someone random, then disapeared
3) Contributed nothing to the thread, just did token posts to seem like he was participating
4) Continuously uses the "I don't read the thread much" card, even though he seems to know what's going on
5) Doesn't even defend himself, but in the ends of posts likes to defend other people (mainly Gabe)
6) Got FoS'd by two players who died in the last night period
7) I show that he got FoS'd by two players who TR killed, and then I get FoS'd by him
Hmmm... doesn't seem like a productive member of the town... seems more like scum to me.

Sorry. I was a little over zealous. I usually take every post made by someone, so that they can't say "But you left out all of my good posts". I agree that that was excessive in this case.
To be fair to D3, he actually had a first post that I left out. I it was not a one liners, but he still only disagreed with a plan by LSB, and then gives a reason for inactives being harmful to the town.

48 hours is not a long time to find scum. Let's start now.
LSB's blue plan is pretty meh. It's not a good plan of attack for our Zams to check lurkers and inactives; they should be checking people who could be scum, including whoever is contributing the most. Keep in mind that all the mafia needs to do is to distract and confuse the town enough so that they make poor decisions.
Remember, the town's best weapon is analysis. By checking the inactives, we flush out the mafia to the limelight where they easily could be found.

Our lynches must work twords lowering mafia KP. At the same time, DTs must be used to work towards lowering mafia KP too. Analysis is great, but it can only go so far before WIFOM kicks in and confirmation is needed. Again, what do you propose to do about inactives? Well, here is my thought process. Wasting a lynch on an inactive sucks. However, I would prefer to use a lynch than a DT. Using a lynch is hit or miss, but it only wastes one action, while making more headway to finding scum with the DT. Using the DT on inactives pretty much wastes the DT if it is on town, while a lynch on a player is still a bit hit or miss (unless good analysis is done), and accidentally lynching an active townie would be more hurtful than an inactive townie. I am hoping it does not come to this and that everyone contributes though. I would love for a game without a bagillion modkills. Wait. What? Lynch is less important than a DT check? Seconded. That is kind of bullshit. Do you really need to say this? It seems totally unnecessary, and harmful to the town to bash people like this.

This heavily smells like "im not too sure, i dont know" plot. F) So you agree that you are protecting infundibulum by voting me: More reason to flip him!. This logic is flawed since the game just started. So they didn't post right at the start and their first post was later then a lot of people's. So they were inactive til their first post? What about all the other people that haven't posted yet. When they make their first post are you going to say the same thing about them? After all, they were even later and therefore must be even more suspicious? Note that Kenpachi was actually posting since the start of the thread. People is inactive because we are just starting the game but nonsense has to be pinned down as soon as it comes out. I find hilariously weird that a guy posting one liners comes right after i vote Infundibulum (with a reason that may or may not be strong for other players) and simply votes Gabriel because he doesnt like my vote on Infundibulum.

My read on last night's events:
Last nights deaths make sense from the context of ridding the town of leadership and/or bluesniping. Tree.hugger had already established himself as a strong town player despite his misread on Kenpachi. I imagine his blue-ness was icing on the cake for mafia. Similarly for jcarlsoniv, who contributed to discussion. RoL is a dangerous player to have for anyone around, and his relative activity makes sense for a blue read (for me, anyway).
Who took the 4th hit? Step up and claim. If you do NOT, then it leaves room for Gengar to sneak in.
I'm having a hard time coming up with more leads at this point in time. With mafia targeting active townies they're looking more to destroy whatever organization we're getting and feed us whatever lies they want us to believe. LSB and Hesmyrr seem likely to me, as does Gabriel. The Eiii/zeks is something I'm not entirely sure on, because I never bought into Gabriel's analysis of zeks too strongly. Yes! Finally you contribute something more than a one liner! Ok. So an actual analysis of what happened.

I'll be back in the evening, so don't go anywhere. Huh. Didn’t you say earlier that DT’s need to focus on the active people? Why wouldn’t we follow the same advice? Your plan seems backwards. Townies work off of analysis, so it’s pretty hard to get a good read on a lurker. They have nothing to analyze.

@Kavdragon, I would agree with your analysis of Amber, except that *I* started with a Shockeyy vote. At that point in time we had a total of exactly FIVE votes. You might consider it late in the day, but I'm not satisfied with a town vote on one candidate. Of course it troubles me that my actions could split the vote so late, but what was even more troubling is that we had an entire town willing to go with Zeks based entirely on Day 1 discussion, and very little to go on for Day 2. Someone has to take the lead here.
Secondly, Zeks might very well turn out green and if we have 100% of town voting them, there's absolutely nothing to analyze. As it stands it looks more likely that Gabriel is scum, not me, as he seemingly dodged another lynch today. Are my actions indicative that I did so to derail his wagon, considering only a few people followed? Maybe you should consider the other 9+ people voting on Zeks right now instead. Oh? I hadn’t noticed you voted before amber’s analysis. So you voted Shockeyy without even bothering to share your explination…The hell? How did the town miss this?

My first thought when dissecting the post was this rather obvious quote: With a quick attack, the Sheriff Ace collapsed to the ground. A quick attack? Well with a player named QuickStriker in the game this looks like a kind of obvious clue. Also he was the first to respond to the first Sheriff Candidacy anouncement of Fulgrim, drawing attention to himself being "amused" by Fulgrim's "I'm not a mafia" comment. This intruiged me. I think that analysis overall was extremely good, from reading up on some earlier Mafia games it seems that the host often likes the come up with elaborate or entertaining deaths. This in itself makes the " With a quick attack " stand out far more in my eyes, and somewhat exonerates the other as possibly just being a whimsical choice by the host. In all honesty this by itself is enough to make me fairly suspicious and Quickstriker I am still more suspicious when I see some of what you have typed. In particular your reaction to no_re's non-serious accusation where you are essentially saying we must "hold off any action untill the DT comes forward and leads us through the valley of death and into the promised land" - I paraphrased, This however, as far as I can tell is an exceptionally bad strategy, the point of electing a mayor or sherrif is someone who seems active, discerning and importantly decisive, and your suggestion of sit and wait reeks to me on manipulation at an early stage. p.s. am i doin it rite? I think Xelin is the Mafia. He's already accusing you of being mafia even though the game hasn't started. Not only that, he's trying to submit himself as the Mayor, trying to find his way around from being lynched off. He knows that if he is able to be the mayor, then we're screwed.

I rather choose some one who didn't impose themselves into trying to be mayor. Brings me to my reason as to why I would want xelin lynched.
Xelin saw that quikstriker was being the most helpful in this thread. He didn't like that, so he quickly picks quikstriker to be lynched. Then soon after post that he wants to be mayor, the reason as to why I don't want to vote for some one that says "I'm running for mayor." They seem more fake than anybody else here. Now I can tell you, I vote for xelin to be lynched 75% of the way.
The other 25% go to those who are quietly coming in that have watched us argue about who to lynch first. I feel like they watched us bicker to see and now that we have some what of an idea who we're going to lynch first. Now the mafia come in to back them up so we an lynch a townie. Which brings me to my other conclusion. Decafchicken I'm watching you. And one more that Shockeyy left out TL Mafia XVIII: Role: Mafia: Shockey was under heavy clue suspicion.

I think it's pretty clear right now that the town should not be voting to kill Scamp. He is right in that at best all L has is some shaky clue analysis. In fact, most of L's clue analysis is directed at other players (Chez, johnny, me) and not at Scamp, go read his posts if you don't believe me.
Something I've noticed is that Scamp has actually taken the time to legitimately defend himself. I remember when we were going to lynch Mystlord, he hardly said a thing and most of what he said only incriminated him more. Right now the only thing incriminating Scamp is L. Also when QS was going to be lynched he came up with the stupid modkill plan that had no way working. Scamp hasn't tried to pull anything of that caliber. It seems to me he's arguing as a townsperson.
To the town, L has already convinced you to lynch our Mayor/medic. What's going to happen when Scamp turns up innocent? We'll be in a bigger mindfuck than we are right now. tree.hugger is clearly the safer vote right now. It's no doubt that if Scamp does not get lynched, L will continue to incriminate him. If Scamp is indeed mafia, he's going to slip up somewhere. Do you agree? Or any objections? For context, was Scamp on his team? Were they in a losing position? A winning position? This doesn't actually say shit until we know what the history was in that game. Bashing of useful information to the town. On December 15 2010 12:48 d3_crescentia wrote:

Important things to note on this list:
Inactives/single votes
There is absolutely no way we can continue voting in onesies because it makes analysis too hard. Of these on Day 1 we have: Brownbear, kitaman27, ghrur, dinmsab, and tube. Their actions on Day 2: Brownbear, tube (also note that in the above list tube should be voting for LSB, not the other way around), dinmsab with no change. Brownbear's inactivity is terrible and his presence isn't good for the town at all. As for the other two, dinmsab has voted for Gabriel twice and the same for tube -> LSB. If either of these two strongly believe in their votes then they should be in the thread actively promoting their viewpoint instead of sitting back passively; otherwise they might as well be scum.
The meat: Zeks
You might note that the Zeks list is virtually identical between Day 1 and 2, with the exception of Hesmyrr/Pandain and kitaman27/Insanious/Eiii jumping ship from elsewhere. Insanious wasted a lot of time sticking his neck out in a tree-hugger analysis; Eiii is not necessarily scum given his last-minute vote on zeks Day 1; kitaman27 played fairly aggressive pro-town in the beginning but has fallen silent since. For now, we shouldn't care too much about these people.
The rest of the list (and a brief summary of posts):
DCLXVI - not much contribution here as far as targets; just a bunch of fluff
GGQ - makes a few points wrt Zeks (I found them uncompelling, but maybe that's hindsight)
chaoser - some early game discussion and defense of Kenpachi; has cited finals
Oceanic - early defense of infundibulum/anti-Gabriel; has cited finals
KtheZ - early agreement/defense of Gabriel and then vanished
Node - points out LSB, agrees with Gabriel wrt Zeks, believes Hesmyrr's (now Pandain's) roleclaim
ghrur - agreement with Node on LSB
I'm going to take the other three (Gabriel, DarthThienAn, Infundibulum) separately and get back to it tonight. Stay tuned for one more post... Hmm. This one almost had me. It looks like you are contributing a little, because it’s not a one liner, but then I read it. You give off a list of people with tiny (and inaccurate, imo) mini analyses, that often make no sense at all.

Here's what I noticed about the Zeks list in particular:
- Much of the voting comes from Gabriel's early game analysis of Zeks. While Gabriel himself could be whatever, at least one of his supporters IS scum. Let's work on analyzing Gabriel and his early-game followers.
- The discussion between DCLXVI and chaoser wrt to Kenpachi is particularly telling. Chaoser's defense is along the lines of "Kenpachi just posts that way" while DCLXVI's responses are "yeah but if he WERE mafia it'd be so easy for him to hide!" Something about this just doesn't strike me as particularly innocent on DCLXVI's part, as he seems to be posting an unnecessary defense of himself when Kenpachi died, and a lot of "we should do/have done X" statements recently. His vote for zeks isn't particularly well-justified; in fact it's a bit of a 180-degree turn as he suddenly shifted from "Kenpachi is scum" to "scum must have bandwagoned Kenpachi in the end to save zeks!"

Okay, off to work. Hope that's enough for you guys to chew on for tomorrow. Someone else come up with a night plan? In general, Gabriel might be good to check; DTA/Inf as well; DCLXVI cuz I think so. Medics protect who you can/find most compelling. This is the first try at an actual analysis, imo. But I’d tend to agree with you. It’s not that great. You paraphrase things with a major bias, and you end up with a weak argument that doesn’t help the town. Then you act like you just contributed a bunch of information for the town to “chew” over.

I don't think we analyzed the night actions enough. We barely covered the possibilities of what happened, and didn't bother to speculate which player was killed by mewtwo. That in itself could prove helpful to finding mewtwo, as well as finding scum connected to the other players who died.
and I loled at one inactive accusing another. And for those of us that have some BRAINS we realized that Zeks fell into the same category of posting as Kenpachi - trash terrible, but nonetheless a waste of a lynch. Also, if you bothered to do any THINKING at all you'd realize that it's in the best interest of Mewtwo to play town-aligned in the early game.

31. zeks Right now I am trying to get more active, but as far as I see there are about 5 seriously active players. That is why we cannot have the medics self protect like you asked tonight. Night one mafia+M2 took out 3 of the most active players, and I would bet that they will continue that trend tonight. We desperately need every last active player, so unless the medics themselves are high priority targets for the mafia, they should not self protect. I am not trying to open up the medics to be hit, but lets be reasonable. What motive does the mafia have to try to hit random lurking blues over the few active players? Not to mention if they hit mew, they are pretty much screwed. Medics please decide who you want to live and lead our scum hunting tomorrow, Dts follow your gut, same with electrodes. Vets just be tough It would be nice to have some dt's give us information in 2 days (three night checks) so that we know about 1/2 of the alignments with some room for error with millers / GF / fake claims. We could hope for ~2 scum revealed this way, with maybe one fake claimed scum. (all numbers estimated in my head with my assumptions, check yourself) However I think we need to see how desperate our plight is come that time, maybe it will not be necessary then. On the other hand, Double lynching is becoming increasingly necessary. With our multiple bandwagons forming and splitting each vote, it looks like the mafia is having an easy time pulling votes off their team and sending townies to the noose. If we lose to many more townies tonight we won't be able to control the lynch very well in the coming days. We need to take advantage the DL to try and catch back up against the mafia's kills. That is something we seriously need to consider and vote on tomorrow depending on the night kills and the level of town activity come tomorrow morning. I want to see the night kills before I comment on potential scummy players tomorrow. Good night, and make sure you are well prepared for any multiples of trouble. Nice general advice. Doesn't really say much except "Maybe on Day 5 DTs should reveal all they know," not accounting for the fact that the Mafia will target those that the DTs check. Maybe the DTs will check inactive players, but what's to stop the mafia from counterclaiming with their own fake DT and sowing more chaos? There needs to be a better plan than just "in 3 days let's reveal." Of course, I realize that you yourself don't have much confidence in this plan of yours, seeing as how it's just plain terrible for town. Or you might just be TR putting thoughts in our mind. So step up and defend yourself, or I'll be putting my vote on you first thing come Day. YES! An actual analysis! Good job! A little late to start though, SCUM.

Here's what I noticed about the Zeks list in particular:
- Much of the voting comes from Gabriel's early game analysis of Zeks. While Gabriel himself could be whatever, at least one of his supporters IS scum. Let's work on analyzing Gabriel and his early-game followers.
- The discussion between DCLXVI and chaoser wrt to Kenpachi is particularly telling. Chaoser's defense is along the lines of "Kenpachi just posts that way" while DCLXVI's responses are "yeah but if he WERE mafia it'd be so easy for him to hide!" Something about this just doesn't strike me as particularly innocent on DCLXVI's part, as he seems to be posting an unnecessary defense of himself when Kenpachi died, and a lot of "we should do/have done X" statements recently. His vote for zeks isn't particularly well-justified; in fact it's a bit of a 180-degree turn as he suddenly shifted from "Kenpachi is scum" to "scum must have bandwagoned Kenpachi in the end to save zeks!" (Post on this sometime tonight as well)
Okay, off to work. Hope that's enough for you guys to chew on for tomorrow. Someone else come up with a night plan? In general, Gabriel might be good to check; DTA/Inf as well; DCLXVI cuz I think so. Medics protect who you can/find most compelling. Might as well pull a shockeyy and start defending myself heavily. Next time I would like to see you quote my posts instead of summarizing them tinted heavily from your perspective. If I truly act scummy then there is no need for you to change what my posts say. I voted for kenpachi because he acted scummy and was useless for the town. I said that the defense "well he normally acts scummy" is a terrible defense and we should still lynch him because he acts scummy. Umm, I flipped and thought zeks was highly likely to be scum because I found out that I was wrong day 1 and kenpachi was green? You never have to revise your views of people when we get more information? I didn't think gabe was red (and still don't) and I really didn't like your last minute bandwagon on shockeyy with lsb and amber. That sort of play just screams scum to me. Okay, I get it. You're just a trash poster, scum or not. WTF? Did you read what I posted? I accuse you of changing the meaning of my posts and you call me a trash poster?

Doesn't it say in 1 of the guides posted that lynching an inactive day 1 is not something you should do? Lynching an inactive typically results in lynching an apathetic townie. Everyone should be posting frequently to discuss who should die for day 1. There are no PM's so everything should be out in the open. We should really worry less about how the blues should play. Thinks like role checks won't be overly reliable, and saving people cannot be discussed in the thread. It probably would be a good idea for the electrodes to think about where to place voltorbs and pick up on good scum tells. Having a general system for how blues play is pretty important. We need to establish a good town environment where the most pro-town players won't find themselves dead. We need to establish a place where everyone is active. Sure, we could leave everything to RNG, but we could do so much more with the blues. I have to agree with this, having a general idea of how the town runs will help keep down the number of accidental lynchings. This is more or less pulled from one of the guides that DcH posted, but when you have a town that uses larger posts, filled with a lot of information, it makes it a lot easier to pick out those that want to give no new information and are simply regurgitating stuff that has already been said in the thread.If we start with a town that runs this way, it should carry through to the end of the game. The best way to keep a town that functions correctly functioning this way would be to keep the people that are running in a more administrative fashion (i guess i could say that) where they are trying to keep some semblance of order alive. I mean a town that runs all willy-nilly chaotic is a town that breeds scum, where a town that runs in a more ordered fashion has a higher chance of weeding out those that are trying to bring disorder to an already disorderly situation.

how many people can Mafia target per night? It says that the mafia get 3kp, added to this mewtwo (although not part of the mafia, is still playing against the town) has 1kp. This means there can be 3 mafia targets, and 1 third party target a night. So the first bit is about how he agrees with LSB about the need for a plan and organization. This is useless but really long and looks nice. The second part answers a dumb question, I have no problem with that. People seem to look at that as a useless post, but I don’t. Remember that there are over 10 new Mafia players (as in, first time mafia players) in this game. As such, most people don’t know how to play or post. I was trying to help people with that. Telling them to post longer to help the town, put information in it. People who have played multiple games would know how to post, people who have never played will pick it up eventually, but why not help the town day 1?

(That might turn out to be more of a blessing than a curse though.) So... can someone enlighten me? I'm newer at this as well, but have been reading a few mafia games, but i think some of the things people want in a pro-town environment are: - Longer, well thought out posts. This way ideas don't get lost. If you post a million tiny posts people can get bored, or will skip over having to read like 5 pages when everything could have just been put into a single longer post and people will have less to read. This way the town can see people who are posting small posts that try to bury information. - Long, well thought out accusations of scum. If you have posts that have like 8 quotes in them, people can better see a pattern in someones behavior. This can also help stop bandwagoning onto an innocent, as with a long post someone has a lot of information to refute, and you can also then point out scum who are using selective posts. This way it is easier to spot people who are trying to mislead the town. - Less peer-pressure, in a more pro-town environment there is less calling out of people, this can result in less blues being forced to reveal, which not only makes the town more vulnerable but also forces a chancey (in this case) to protect the blue for fear that they die. As well, this can reduce the amount of greens that need to reveal, that make them vulnerable due to them no longer being able to be lynch bait. I think those are more or less the major points of a more pro-town environment rather than an anti-town environment, if I missed anything just add to the list. Long posts are better than short ones, attack scum, but not townies. I’ll make a note here that the lurker Deconduo rears his head and posts an “I agree” post right after. Jcarlsoniv posts after pointing out how useless Insanious’s first few posts were, long and fluffy. You do realize that right after that I respond to jcarl right after this, and then he agrees with me that my posts were warrented, but you don’t even put that in the next posts... you keep attacking me for a post that was deemed ok by my original accuser. Eiii asked questions, so I answered them. This is legitimate, if 1 person has a question, then in a game of 30 people, with 10 who have never played a mafia game, then most likely there is at least 1 more lurker who does not want to ask the question but is still confused. Posting information for all to see is always good for the town, especially when it information that people ask for, and its information that is good for the town to know... and when its answered correctly. I would also like to note, that as of up to this point in the game, I have contributed infinity more times than you simply because you have yet to post in the thread yet... heck according to you, you had yet to even start reading yet...

Doesn't it say in 1 of the guides posted that lynching an inactive day 1 is not something you should do? Lynching an inactive typically results in lynching an apathetic townie. Everyone should be posting frequently to discuss who should die for day 1. There are no PM's so everything should be out in the open. We should really worry less about how the blues should play. Thinks like role checks won't be overly reliable, and saving people cannot be discussed in the thread. It probably would be a good idea for the electrodes to think about where to place voltorbs and pick up on good scum tells. Having a general system for how blues play is pretty important. We need to establish a good town environment where the most pro-town players won't find themselves dead. We need to establish a place where everyone is active. Sure, we could leave everything to RNG, but we could do so much more with the blues. I have to agree with this, having a general idea of how the town runs will help keep down the number of accidental lynchings. This is more or less pulled from one of the guides that DcH posted, but when you have a town that uses larger posts, filled with a lot of information, it makes it a lot easier to pick out those that want to give no new information and are simply regurgitating stuff that has already been said in the thread.If we start with a town that runs this way, it should carry through to the end of the game. The best way to keep a town that functions correctly functioning this way would be to keep the people that are running in a more administrative fashion (i guess i could say that) where they are trying to keep some semblance of order alive. I mean a town that runs all willy-nilly chaotic is a town that breeds scum, where a town that runs in a more ordered fashion has a higher chance of weeding out those that are trying to bring disorder to an already disorderly situation.

how many people can Mafia target per night? It says that the mafia get 3kp, added to this mewtwo (although not part of the mafia, is still playing against the town) has 1kp. This means there can be 3 mafia targets, and 1 third party target a night. You mean like this post is doing? From your two posts, I've noticed you haven't really added too much at all. Your first post was almost exclusively regurgitating previous posts. Your second one you seemed to be trying to add more, saying you've read guides, and it appears that you are trying hard to look like the poster child of "how to be a townie". Everyone pretty much knows the environment that is conducive to town progress. It is very apparent when scum tries to disrupt things if they are going smoothly. We just have to catch them as they are doing it before things spiral out of control. Townies don't need to try to look like townies, because they already are. Two newer mafia players asked two questions, I was simply answering them. Its not like I was just throwing that info out there as if it was anything new. Eiii asked what a pro-town environment entitled, while Kenpachi asked how many attacks the mafia can make in a night. Both of which they could of found by reading what DrH posted, but I thought it would be nice to answer both questions... I guess if you would rather I could of simply just not answered their questions and left them guessing. Insanious admits that the only content to his posts is answering a few newbie questions, ignores the fact that the rest of his post is useless. Don’t put words in my mouth, I say nothing of the sort. I think pot of my posts are filled with good information for newer players, the people who they were geared towards. These posts are there to help people who’ve never played before start playing better. I never said once that my posts have little to no content, where did you even get that idea from what I said?

Also to actually contribute to the thread somewhat, I really don't like either of the bandwagons we have going. Infun hasn't really done anything, especially not to garner the wrath of 10% of the people playing this game. On the other hand Gab came off a little rough and confrontational, but I really don't think he came off that scummy... Another question… and then … he says he hasn’t posted much content so to make up for it he presents us with this gem. “umm this guy seems scummy but no one is doing much, maybe this guy to.” Where is the content? What stance do you take on these people and WHY? Again, having the information in the thread for those to read is better then getting it in a PM. I’ve read mafia games where the mafia PM the GM for information so that they know things that the town doesn’t, and then exploits this information. Having it posted in the thread, where it wasn’t before, only helps the town not hinders it. Also, I was only referring to my last post, not all my posts. Again, stop putting words in my mouth. I got attacked for posting something with no thread content before, so I decided to amalgamate my posts into one. Something you did not do at the end of your analysis and now have 3 posts in a row... heck you even ask a question in this thread and have no content on the end, why are you attacking me for something you do? Also I was asking why people were voting Infun (which if you read the posts around mine, you would know half the town was asking why people were voting Infun who did nothing all game). And then I just said I didn’t think Gabe looked scummy. This is better than what you have done with your FoS’s by the way. If you actually compare this post to any of your posts with an FoS, this post has more content. You cannot call me out for lack of content. At least my post has more meat to it than “I FoS Meepak” like all of your posts for the first 6 days of this thread... ya I did an analysis after, and ya you have 0 analysis at least this has something.

People are like "its only 6 out of 31" but really, once a bandwagon gets running its hard to stop unless you slow it down early... I don't think any more votes on Gab right now will help the town, all it will do is seal Gab's fate... Now this post is interesting. This is a step up from pointing fingers at people voting gabe, now he says that it is hurtful for the town to vote for scummy people. “It wasn’t really gabe’s fault he acted scummy, he was just trying to get a reaction.” Yeah right, I’ve seen that defense used too many times on scum to let it get by this game. Um, you do realize in a post you make you simply say “I don’t think Gab is scum” why are you even attacking me for this either? The post is to warn people not to bandwagon on Gabriel too early so that it cannot be reversed. Once you get 10+ people on someone, they are going to die. You need to get 2 – 3 people that you vote for, so that mafia cannot just bandwagon onto a single person and hide. This is sound advice, and you attack me for it.

tube your acting simply just very confrontational right now... what chaoser was trying to say is that you have to start the game somewhere. Promoting lynching inactives is a place to start. You never want to end with simply lynching inactives, but the discussion between whether we lynch or do not lynch inactives can actually lead to something that can be analyzed.
Look at every mafia game here, or on any other site and it always starts with the "do we lynch inactives or not", why? Because it gets people talking, and unless people talk then we will never ever find scum.
Activity is counter productive to the mafia, as that means they have to participate more, and that gives them more chances to slip up.
LSB started on the convo, but now we have found a few people acting scummy, and as such we are no longer talking about lynching inactives, but weather to lynch people who've actually said something.
Do we lynch Kenpachi for his posting habbits, Gab for his out burst, Infun for his previous actions, LSB for trying to be the head of the town, or you for just angrily, randomly, accusing people of being scum.
This is where the game should be focused, but we needed a start... and lynching inactives is a start. This I can’t argue with, besides the repeat of “activity is good”. I agree that starting with the lynching inactives always leads to scum slips or at least more town activity. Oh hey look my justification for voting tube, that you ignored in your “voting analysis”. Dude this is why I voted tube at the start, I thought he looked like scum. Better than what you did “I agree *votes kenpachi*” at least I added something to the thread.

D) It doesnt? well you were pretty much inactive and so was Infundibulum. Maybe it does. E) You think too much. You have again 2 posts where you "think" about this "think" about that, when it is clear that those post refer to info available in the opening rules. This heavily smells like "im not too sure, i dont know" plot. F) So you agree that you are protecting infundibulum by voting me: More reason to flip him!. A) There isnt much to post in the beginning, due to low information and lack of suspicion. B) I am not what? I posted in the beginning to "look" active because i have a history of lurking. C) You are still assuming i read the rules. Did i read or skim it? Did i read it but pass the KP? I posted that in the thread for people who also didnt know to possibly take a burden off many people. D)Idk man. you found a bunch of posts in the beginning and call me inactive? Refer to B). Why am i posting to "look" active? E) "I think its 2." hey i only played 1 game with Double Lynch before. F) your logic is flawed. i can vote for anyone i want to and im defending Infundibulum by not voting for him. Why do you think youre gonna be the main bandwagon from 1 vote? A) Says there isn't much to post in the begining, but then why post at all? Ken has something like 1/4 of the posts in the thread up to this point... why spam if there is nothing to spam about? B) So he has a history of lurking, so he just suddenly decides to change his game? From lurker to spammer? C) So now he skimmed the rules, but posted part of the rules in this thread... so apparently when he skims he picks up 100% of some rules but 0% of others? D) K Gab makes stupid argument here E) Again, refering to posting part of the rules, but then claiming to not have read the OP F) Does not refute the "defending infun by voting for Gab" thing that Gab brings up... but he does say that Gab is flawed in believing he will become the main bandwagon... and then becomes the main bandwagon Basically all my arguments are in that spoiler, would just be huge since I quoted every single post that Kenpachi made. Just the major points that I think Kenpachi is scummy: 1) A gigantic amount of posts that add nothing to the game. 11 posts in under 5 hours all of which add nothing to the game. His spam was especially apparent at the start of the game. 2) He posts about the rules found in the OP, and then repeatedly claims he never read the OP. This just doesn't make sense, how can you quote the OP without reading it... this just seems very scummy to me. 3) Answering questions without answering the questions. He posts as if he is answering a question, but then offers no information. This makes it seem like he is helping players, but he is simply confusing them more. 4) No arguments when called out. Gab calls Kenpachi out, Kenpachi posts 2 posts that say nothing and then disappears for a day... 5) While disappeared, the person that called him out is suddenly the bandwagon of the day (started by Kenpachi), and no one is questioning Kenpachi anymore. (even though others were investigating Kenpachi as well when Gab was.) This just seems very scummy... comes on, spams a lot, posts contradictory statements, gets called out, gets the guy that calls him out bandwaggoned, then disappears. So he does a good analysis on kenpachi. Unfortunately, according to the town leaders, kenpachi acts like scum but is town just because. So while you supported your argument well, this gets ignored. Um, I have never played a game of mafia before, let alone with Kenpachi. But at least I made an effort, you made none, and then said “Insanious and Tree.Huggers analysis of kenpachi is...” the reason you voted for Kenpachi. Don’t ignore this in a scum hunt. Things like this should show you I’m not scum. I actually did analysis and good analysis, something a mafia wouldn’t do.

iiiinteresting. It seems like town decided (again) to bandwagon onto an "inactive" then all went AFK and didn't switch onto a far more scummy person. Oh well, fairly standard for TL day 1, I guess.
I'm still torn as to whether an Alakazam should check zeks tonight, and report back. On one hand, we do want to be 100% sure. On the other, he's proven to be a decent lynch target already, and we really don't want to waste an Alakazam this early...
Gah. Um did you even read the thread... Kenpachi was one of the most active players in the thread, but every single one of his posts seemed scummy, he didn't even defend himself once he was put into first place. There was also a very close race between him and Zeks where Zeks was also kind of active... we didn't go after an inactive at all, don't know where your information is coming from...\ Also if you look, there were like 6 - 7 vote switches near the end of the vote, as well numerous people were talking in the thread asking for kenpachi to defend himself... I'm lost as to where you came up with us voting an inactive and then going inactive at the end of the vote... Pointing out a dumb post, good. So I’m scum before I’m doing good things for the town... this makes perfect sense really. On December 16 2010 15:01 DCLXVI wrote:Show nested quote +On December 15 2010 10:23 Insanious wrote:

Just went through the people who died posts and these are the people that they FOS'ed before they died:

Pandain the Cloyster was found dead. FOS Seraph, DCLXVI
To me it looks like:
DCLXVI was FOS'ed by two of the players that recently died and then was killed.
Will go back through the rest of the people who were killed the night before and who they FOS'ed before they died... but might want to take a look at the people here (and yes I included everyone who didn't die, including my self) Good, this is just the stuff the town needs. Unfortunately the town forgot about it. So let see... every other time I FoS anyone in this thread, you say that there is no analysis done, and that more needs to be done. Then when my FoS is pointed at you, you go “oh look good post, but it was ignored”. Dude be consistent, more analysis needed to be done, and I did it later. This post is simply there to pull suspicion of you “He did a good analysis of me, why would I say that if I was mafia?” For me, all it does is add suspicion.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Incatives yay. Notice one that is missing? (hint, his name starts with an I and ends with an s) Why can lurkers get away with accusing others of inactivity? Well since I have more posts in this thread than almost any of the rest of the living people, I don’t think I’m inactive. I also removed anyone who posted in the last 24 hours before this post. This is more a call to activity than anything else, if people don’t start posting we will all die. At least someone pointed it out... why didn’t you?

You called out 5 – 6 people, said you would do analysis, then never did... at least this is the first time I said “I’ll do analysis later” oh maybe its because I’m busy with my exams like I said I was...

And that’s it. It seemed much longer but about half the hits for “insanious” when I searched the thread were people quoting him and asking for real content, putting him on an inactive list, or asking for more contributions from him. My opinion on him changed very much over the course of this analysis. At fist he was the perfect semi lurker scum. Long fluffy posts, answering questions, appearing active. He then goes on to make several posts which I consider to be good, of course because he had the same views on subjects that I did and he backed it up with strong logic. After that he drops off in activity, only posting to FOS people without reason or call for more activity from others.
If I were to take a guess I would put him more likely to be scum/M2. His lack of activity hurts the town, and what he does post is even worse. He did have that one good spurt of posting, which I think must be to throw people off. However, many other people disagreed with his posts there so maybe I’m just wrong and he posted badly the whole game. Please read and comment on what you think about him. Especially you Insanious.
1) Most of the hits when you search me come up with people quoting my analysis actually. I have been FoS’d 3 times so far in this thread, and all of the times it’s been dropped because guess what... people have no found anything scummy about me. The only times people post “need you to post more relevant info” was at the very start when I was answering questions of people that have never played before. 2) I am more active than 90% of the time, there are only 2 – 3 posters more active than I am, and you are not one of them. You disappear for 36 hour long stretches, at least I only disappeared because well... I have exams, no explanation from you. 3) All of my posts contribute to the thread, unlike most others. I either answer questions, offer analysis, or have tried to get the thread back on track. This is more than most people have done, and A LOT more than you have done. If you even look at your posts throughout the thread, there is absolutely no substance there at all in any way shape or form. Yet you call me out for my posts...
DCLXVI calls me out for single posts that match what he has been doing all game, and then calls me scum for it.
He goes “look at this post, it answers questions of noobs, he must be scum!” where he doesn’t even try to help people.
He goes “Look at this great analysis that I followed! It must be a ploy by the mafia to look like a good townie and then be a scum!” If I am posting good analysis (half of the posts DCLXVI quoted he said “good, nothing I can argue here, lets ignore it” that to me shows that most of my posts are better than average... better than anything DCLXVI has posted at all.)
He goes “Insanious is scum, he asked a question!” when later in the thread he asked a question as well... and hey, at least I didn’t ask my questions in PM, because the questions I got answered people needed the answers too and thanked me for asking them... scum... ya right.
He goes “Insanious FoS’s people and then disappears!” Yup, did that my last post, but not at all the rest of the time in the thread. I posted analysis with every single one of my votes, Tube and Kenpachi... and yes I realize I just bandwaggoned Zeks but so did everyone else. At least its more then DCLXVI’s “Hey guys FoS on _______ will do analysis later” 5 – 6 times...
To me, DCLXVI didn’t like it that I pointed out that people who FoS’d him died, and that we should lynch me for it. I wouldn’t be surprised if after my analysis of DCLXVI the mafia killed me, because they are protecting someone...
Just what I read in this analysis, if you guys need me to answer why I posted something that I did, I will gladly do it. I am town, and I have been fighting for the town... I am one of the last active posters left in the town, lets not lynch someone who’s doing good, rather than someone disruptive.

Consider this question.
What is scummy? What is bad play?

In my opinion, Scummy play is play that benefits the Mafia, but not the town. Bad play is play that benefits the Mafia, AND the town. Good play is play that benefits the town, and not mafia.
This asks the next question. What benefits the mafia, and Town?
Town benefits from good analysis and discussion of suspects, with some emphasis on civility.
Mafia benefits from everything that gets in the way of good discussion and analysis. (I.e, Spam, Bashing, etc...)
I'd like to hear other's opinions though. Especially yours.

How do we tell the difference between a mafia and a scum? Do mafia always play scummly? Do town always play like townies?
According to your definition, everyone that has an analysis post is town. And this is obviously false.
What we need to look for is previous play. We need to see how they acted before. Kenpachi and Zeks were lynched because a bunch of sheep saw bad posts but didn't think.
Long story short, vote for shockeyy
