![]() I'm glad to see at least some conversation occurring. @Nemesis: I am really looking forward to reading your analysis of me. As I have already mentioned a few times, I'm wary of you at the moment, and I hope my suspicions will be either allayed or confirmed by you posting something of substance. If you come to the conclusion that I'm town, I'd actually rather see an analysis on someone else though. I'm going to suggest a few people below. @Deconduo: I understand that, if there is a cop, it would be nice for the cop to not have to worry about dying before passing on the info they have collected. However, I think we're better off going with your original suggestion of assuming no blue roles, and just scumhunting normally. If there is a cop and the cop finds a red, I think it's worth just claiming at that point. There's only two mafia teams total afterall, if we get one we're halfway there. If the cop only finds greens, I don't think getting a green list is necessarily worth the trouble/risk of doing the hypocop. That's all my opinion anyway, I'd like to hear KJ on this too though. BTW, I missed the same rule in the OP as KJ regarding claiming role block. I didn't realize that greens would also be notified. In any case, subversion's claim doesn't mean anything for now. If we have another claim tomorrow (different team), that will be much more interesting. Here are my top lynch candidates. Orgolove Every single post has been an apology for being busy, or a criticism of what the town is doing (or both). He even criticized me for wanting quiet at night when he himself refused to pressure vote or help town with activity. For what it's worth, his first post has a classic scumtell (I did the same thing in experimental mini mafia and RoL picked up on it) -- he sympathizes with town by pointing out a disadvantage given by the setup. Doesn't mean much on it's own, but it is strangely common for scum to do this exact thing. His 6 total posts for your reading pleasure: + Show Spoiler + On January 04 2011 17:29 orgolove wrote: I apologize for being busy. So we're having a day 1 lynch without any starting information huh. An open setup with unknown roleblockers gives a disadvantage to the town, but as the saying goes, "a challenge means god's afraid of your progress" All right, lets see. ... Looking at the past two pages, there's nothing to analyze. There's only been two votes, and the only discussion has been whether to lynch inactives. no. Bad idea. In a game such as this, planning to lynch an inactive just allows the reds to guide the discussion to whichever inactive green they know isn't a part of them and leads to the town's disadvantage. I'm not going to post any votes until there's something more concrete to go on.

The reds can subtly direct to whoever they would know is not a red and yet inactive. :/ We as town have no information, and reds can use that to lynch a green. If we don't have any information, pressuring is fine.. but just hitting someone because they're inactive is not a good strategy at all. This is why I also like the mayor idea for the first day, as it gives a way for town to get useful info on day 1...

First he says it's sad that there's such lack of activity, then he encourages town to stay inactive? Discussion is the only weapon for townies with no information. Whether it is done during the night or during the day doesn't make any difference - this just looks like a subtle effort by a red to sabotage the town's efforts.

Did you not read my post immediately afterwards? It was still in the middle of the season, and I was unable to log on before the deadline to place my vote. Since then I've tried as well as anyone to contribute and make sense of this discussion, from which there really wasn't any. Focusing on inactivity won't help the town, and I'm surprised you, of all people, are choosing to do that, especially without any response to deconduo's suggestion. @deconduo: what exactly do you mean by hypocop? Major points: -Missed the day 1 vote! -He is continuously pointing out why this or that doesn't help town, without once attempting to actually help the town himself by doing the things he himself suggests. -Says "Discussion is the only weapon for townies with no information", has 6 total posts in the thread (since the first day post) -Criticizes me for discouraging discussion at night, when he discouraged it during day (says 'nothing to analyze' and 'not going to vote...'). Subversion As KJ and meapak have pointed out, this claim is an easy fake claim for mafia if they don't have a roleblocker. Coupled with his lackluster posts and afk-ness looks pretty bad imo.

The DTs should check the inactive people and the lurkers, as it is incredibly difficult if not impossible to tell the difference between a bored townie and a lurking mafia. The Medics should protect active players, this way the mafia won't be able to take out the people who are contributing the most to town, so people won't be scared of trying to put forth their opinions. Although, I myself do not like inactives, our goal is to lynch mafia. So unless we can't come up with any good target to lynch by the end of the day, then I don't advocate the lynching of inactives, but lynching them might be a good idea if we have nothing else to go on. As for dts checking inactive people(if we do indeed have dts), I think that might be a lot better plan than lynching inactives as we would be wasting town's greatest weapon. Lynching inactives is basically the same as RNG, a random chance of lynching scum. The only good thing is it prevents inactivity and encourages acitivity. i dont really see what the point is of DTs checking inactives if its publicly announced.

Something feels off about nemesis, but until he posts something substantial, I will wait to build my case. Orgolove is top lynch target today. Subversion is not a bad target, but I would actually like to see if we get another roleblock claim (from someone else) tomorrow. | ||

So he doesn't think the day one lynch is a good one but he votes for the person who is currently ahead in the votes? If he didn't like it then he should have offered a better candidate or at least not gone with the status quo. Also notice that he wilts as soon as LSB applied the tinniest amount of pressure (all LSB did was explain why threarening to lynch inactives is good) but subversion feels compelled to appologise, that's a pretty common scum tell right there. No townie should be afraid of a dt check yet subversion opposes dt checking inactives when he is one. Also in such a small game it would probably be safer for the mafia to lurk. He claims to not like the day one vote but then goes and votes for the person currently ahead showing no interest in actually helping the town. Further more his whole I've been roleblocked /leave thread act set off alarm bells in my head and I agree with what KJ has been saying. I'm going to vote when I get home in about 12 hours to give subversion a chance to refute what I've said but if nothing changes my vote will be on this team. I feel like you missed my point about the inactives. I was not saying its a BAD idea to check inactives, I was saying isn't ANNOUNCING who you are checking a bad idea, as mafia who are inactive can simply make sure they post, and thus completely avoid being checked. I "gave up" this point when LSB explained to me why it was in fact a good idea. I was never challenging the idea, I was simply wondering if its not actually a bad idea. When LSB explained it made perfect sense, so I apologised for what I assumed was actually a "noob" question. You also seemed to have misinterpreted my lynch vote. I didn't think the vote for Beneather was a bad one, I thought in this case the day one vote in general was bad, because we had so little activity and a high chance of lynching a townie. With the small amount of information we did have, I felt Beneather was the best candidate, and I did justify my vote and I stand by my justification, whether you disagree with it or not. I'm not responding to kingjames because his arguments are ridiculous. If you're going to make these reckless aggressive posts, you can at least make sure you understand the rules of the game first. | ||

@aidnai: as for flamwheel/orgolove, I don't agree with your analysis aidnai. Orgolove's activity has been spotty in the other game I'm in as well, and I don't see any major deviations in posting (I also do not get a scum feel from him in that game either) If I had to vote now, it would be between kingjames/aidnai (kingjames for his over the top response in trying to get subversion lynched, which was based off faulty data - aidnai for pushing for 0 discussion during night) and subversion/incognito (for obvious reasons, could be lying about being roleblocked). I'd like to hear from incognito if possible, since he's been largely MIA this game. | ||

People don't want to be lynched, so they will (hopefully) start posting more. 2. It gets rid of inactive townies earlier on rather than later. Mafia have no incentive to kill an inactive townie, so they live until the end of the game if they aren't lynched. You then might need to pick a mafia out of a bunch of people with less that 3 posts each, not at all helpful to town. 3. If the mafia do push the lynch to a green rather than a mafia, we still get to look at the voting patterns and the posts. For example today, who voted for BC/Beneather over other inactives, and why? Were BC/Beneather the most inactive team? but looking at it again it's pretty standard to say that stuff whether you mafia or not, there's not a lot of info in there. | ||

-If we hit a town today, it goes to Lylo. Kind of important to think about. -If sub/incog is telling the truth the cop can safely claim during the night (if he exists.) We can verify this by lynching sub/incog. This might not be a great idea however, as I think they are town. It would be a pretty ballsy thing for mafia to fake. For myself, the only person who's posting I don't really like is orgolove. Aidnai's post sums it up pretty well, but I want to add two things. Orgolove is against lynching inactives and being quieter at night. These I feel are both anti-town things. I already explained why lynching inactives is good in a previous post. As for posting at night, I feel (as do others) that it helps mafia narrow down the blue roles. Town has no lynch power at night, and we should do most of our discussion during the day time. (This doesn't matter really if we are in setup #2 however) | ||

Also, remember to vote! I want orgo to see the votes stacking up so both he and his team have to respond. @mango: you're being a little silly. Mafia don't want all the attention, they don't want to actually contribute, and it's hard for them to point fingers and mean it because they know everyone else is innocent. It should be pretty obvious that KJ/me are not mafia. I'm also not worried about deconduo at the moment, but I suppose that could change. Meapak is due back soon I believe. Meapak -- I know you're looking at subversion, but could I convince you to vote orgo today so we can see if someone else gets roleblocked tomorrow? I think orgo is a better lynch in any case. | ||

BUT I will vote for Orgo right now and see if we can spike some activity. Also I never found his "reasons" for voting you guys when he said "My reasons have already been posted" which looks rather bad on his part. If orgo is genuinely inactive and doesn't appear or if no one else is pushed forward as a lynch target I might unvote and try and provoke someone else but for now I'll ##Vote Orgolove/Flamewheel | ||

@mango again, talk to foolishness about deconduo, me, and orgolove. I am fairly confident that your team is town aligned, and foolishness should be a great resource to you/us. Actually, everyone do your best to bounce thoughts off your senior. They're basically 'playing' this game as a helpful service to us, so show some appreciation and don't let it go to waste.

We've decided against the hypocop idea, correct? adanai, while you seem fine right now but i'd like an explanation of why you think we should avoid discussion during the night, thats as far as I know not really beneficial for the town. At this point you seem to be doing more good than bad, and to be honest when I tried to analyze your posts I got nothing definitive(it could be the fact that I'm not very good at it ![]() in my mind we also need to pressure the Meapak_Ziphh/Ace team a little more, as I think they may well be scum (if nothing else Ace's whole "you should lynch people who aren't going to help you win" attitude is very disturbing) For now the reasons given are compelling enough for me to vote Orgolove ##Vote Orgolove/Flamewheel | ||

We had a medic claim, another blue claim, I forget what else, but me and my scumbuddies were laughing it up in our IRC as town shot themselves in one foot then the other. KJ might remember better. The gist of my thought is: any info you give out at night can be used against town, and can't be used by town until morning. So wait until morning. Take this time to go over the thread with your partner or something. However if anyone really wants to go on being vocal and jolly go right ahead, it certainly will give me more to analyze.

We should consider all the possible setups. But yes, we should focus more on scumhunting than relying on forming circles based on blue roles. On January 04 2011 00:37 LSB wrote: Well...

As for dts checking inactive people(if we do indeed have dts), I think that might be a lot better plan than lynching inactives as we would be wasting town's greatest weapon. Lynching inactives is basically the same as RNG, a random chance of lynching scum. The only good thing is it prevents inactivity and encourages acitivity. i dont really see what the point is of DTs checking inactives if its publicly announced. Surely then mafia will just make sure they're not inactive to avoid being detected? Says that checking inactives is useless if publicly announced. But later retracts his statement after being explained to him how it still benefits the town. Nothing really scummy here, but he might be trying to paint himself an image of a noob by asking stupid question.

Because Incog hasn't really posted at all. In fact this team has the least posts in the thread if I added right. But why should subversion be worried about dt checks if he has nothing to hide. He then jumps on the bandwagon BC/Beneather bandwagon at a nice safe point when several others had already done so and disowns his previous comment in one fell swoop.

So he doesn't think the day one lynch is a good one but he votes for the person who is currently ahead in the votes? If he didn't like it then he should have offered a better candidate or at least not gone with the status quo. Also notice that he wilts as soon as LSB applied the tinniest amount of pressure (all LSB did was explain why threarening to lynch inactives is good) but subversion feels compelled to appologise, that's a pretty common scum tell right there. No townie should be afraid of a dt check yet subversion opposes dt checking inactives when he is one. Also in such a small game it would probably be safer for the mafia to lurk. He claims to not like the day one vote but then goes and votes for the person currently ahead showing no interest in actually helping the town. Further more his whole I've been roleblocked /leave thread act set off alarm bells in my head and I agree with what KJ has been saying. I'm going to vote when I get home in about 12 hours to give subversion a chance to refute what I've said but if nothing changes my vote will be on this team. I feel like you missed my point about the inactives. I was not saying its a BAD idea to check inactives, I was saying isn't ANNOUNCING who you are checking a bad idea, as mafia who are inactive can simply make sure they post, and thus completely avoid being checked. I "gave up" this point when LSB explained to me why it was in fact a good idea. I was never challenging the idea, I was simply wondering if its not actually a bad idea. When LSB explained it made perfect sense, so I apologised for what I assumed was actually a "noob" question. You also seemed to have misinterpreted my lynch vote. I didn't think the vote for Beneather was a bad one, I thought in this case the day one vote in general was bad, because we had so little activity and a high chance of lynching a townie. With the small amount of information we did have, I felt Beneather was the best candidate, and I did justify my vote and I stand by my justification, whether you disagree with it or not. I'm not responding to kingjames because his arguments are ridiculous. If you're going to make these reckless aggressive posts, you can at least make sure you understand the rules of the game first. Defends himself from aidnai/kingjames01's attacks As for incognito, he hasn't posted at all since the game started. Overall, his post are not really scummy, but he doesn't really contribute much in his post too. And he doesn't post much except to respond to people calling him out. Now as for the other team I promised: kingjames01/aidnai Let's start with aidnai In his first few post, he begins clearing up rules. Nothing much to go on from there.

Maybe everyone is trying to coordinate with their partner before diving in head first? I know Kav and I have had internet availability issues at home as well, I might be stuck posting from work only for a bit ![]() Says that we should assume setup 2 so that we don't rely on blues too much.

So I'll switch to beneather/BC for lack of anything better... ##unvote ##Vote Beneather/BC sorry about the ## thing before RoL He says that he doesn't really want to kill Gmarshal after Gmarshal started getting ahead in votes and instead joins the Beneather/BC bandwagon after it starts gaining some grounds.

Even though LSB is pulling at straws with that 'analysis', I don't want to lynch him. 1) he's so pro-town he sucks at being scum. 2) if we kill him activity will grind to a halt and the game will end with less than 20 pages. Again, he sucks up to Ace, saying how right he is, but still doesn't commit to it and makes excuses to not lynch LSB even though he thinks he is scum.

No reason to generate discussion or information that we can't act on yet. He then says that we shouldn't discuss during anything during nighttime. This is a really questionable statement. More discussion is always beneficial for town. He votes orgolove/flamewheel and FOS subversion because of his claim to have been roleblocked which does not really imply anything eitherway unless we can verify/reject the claim. Overall, he makes a lot of non-committal post and tries to suck up to ace. kingjames01: Kingjames doesn't really post until around the end of the first day phase. His first post is an analysis on Team 1 and puts FoS on them. Comments
I think that we should apply a little more pressure to this team. He says that he thinks beneater is not mafia and is about to be lynched. But instead of voting for the person with the next most votes, his team votes for someone who has not votes at all. But then again, kingjames is not the one who controls the vote.

And he also makes a questionable post about not generating discussion during the night. kingjames01 on the other hand has made a few analysis, but there is still that over the top reaction to Subversion's claim.

However, I will not be deterred from the task at hand. Orgolove has posted again in the other game, so I know for a fact he's read my analysis and knows the votes are mounting over here. I'm having a hard time imagining a pro-town reason for not contributing to discussion in this thread, and not defending yourself from a lynch... 4 hours left? Votes so far: orgolove/Flamewheel: 2.5 GMarshal (0.5) Meapak_Ziphh aidnai aidnai/KingJames01: 2 orgolove Nemesis Subversion: 0 Not yet voted: Subversion, Deconduo, TheMango (0.5) I'm counting on you deconduo.

Do I need to respond to every single post against me? What is this now - I can't even log on TL without being harassed about responding in a forum game? Nice. I've already made my point, and in clear enough language for the town to understand. I'm hoping that flamewheel will come by and consider it as well. It'll be the town's loss if they can't see such clear inconsistencies throughout your post and yet still not vote. | ||

My problem is that I think both orgolove and kingjames are scummy (flamewheel hasn't posted enough and aidnai's posts seem legit to me), but its pretty obvious that at least one of them isn't maf. I certainly agree that orgolove feels pretty scumy, my worry is that if the kingjames/aidnai team is mafia then they are doing a very good job of hiding it and leading the lynches, which means if we dont hit a mafia tonight, I'll be almost certain that they are and need to be hung. Right now I'm in the most serious of doubts. For now I think I'll keep my vote as it is, its a vote of confidence that kingjames and aidnai are not infact scum and that orgolove is. If they are wrong though then they better have a really persuasive candidate. | ||
