yeah, role reverser looks a little silly

I decided to throw in a twist where half way through the game I arbitrarily decide to switch to majority lynch. Does that seem less silly?


It seems equally silly, but fun nonetheless, go for either of them, or if you feel particularly cruel, go for both! Note though that the majority lynch switch is neutral as it can hurt/help mafia and town equally while the role reverser can only hurt town, as far as fairness goes, I think the change is more fair if you want to make it benefit mafia then inform them of what day it is going to happen ahead of time, watch them laugh mercilessly. Just my thoughts

Here is a small tip. If you can't tell by the set up. This game is designed so you fuckers have to learn to use PM's properly or get royally screwed. This game is ALSO designed to emphasize behavior analysis over EVERYTHING. This IS punishment for Salem Mafia.


So, I wasn't in Salem Mafia, can I ask what we exactly we are being punished for?

I think that was the one where a PM ring was formed and infiltrated by day one and then we pretty much depended on it and that drove us to failville, population: town

So, since its almost 4 am and I can't seem to sleep, I thought I might as well bump this thread

*bump*

I need this to start soon as Orgah is about to end, and I don't know if I can make it through the day without my daily mafia fix

I think he said the game starts at10EST today, thats about 3 hours from now, role PMs usually go out about an hour before that IIRC, I assume its a 48/24 hour setup so day and night will end at 10 PM EST

Ok, lets get started. Here, let me poke inactives.... oh wait

Ok, let me discuss blues then

as usual DO NOT CLAIM!!!!

So, let me just point out that in this game DTs are going to be extremely unreliable, as a matter of fact they would do best to go after players away from the spotlight as any player that is at all controversial is either going to get framed if town or covered if scum.

This game is going to depend on us analyzing correctly, to be blunt I think DTs are absolutely worthless in this set up.

As usual vigi's should save their shot for what they consider to be confirmed scum, while medics have to be careful with their protects due to the potential for reversal, however I think they should still continue to protect the most outspoken/town players

I'm going to be really harsh on punishing inactivity this game as we had 5(!) modkills due to inactivity in orgah, and the end of the game consisted of me vs 3 lurkers, my goal this game is to end the game with only active players. After all an active scum can be analyzed and caught.

eh for now let me vote for an "inactive" player (30 minutes into the game )
(I rolled a 30 sided die, I got a 20, so player #20 )

Dammit, you posted, now I have to unvote

Maybe I should wait till later in the day before voting for anyone

##Unvote

As for what to do in PM, I propose we all find a PM buddy and bounce analysis off him, if he is scum it gives you more to analyze, if he isn't then you have someone to scrutinize your logic. However do not trust *anyone* as we won't know if they are scum or not until we flip them with a lynch, if you are blue this means not claiming. I for one intend to leave all my PM history with an unrelated player (unrelated to whom ever I'm PMing obviously) in case I die it can be posted so town has more to analyze, [I may make an exception for claims, but you should not be claiming to me anyway].


What else?

This all seems rather inefficent and I remember that game where people blindly roleclaimed to Pandain which caused a town loss.

Marshal I really think your an awesome player but this is not the way to go about this. PMs are good for a similer kind of thing but RNG is still random. You can accomplish the same thing by posting and then asking for PMed opinions. it's really hard for town to get information and opinions when your only confiding in one person. There are ~24 of us. We all need to make smart decisions.



By a PM buddy I really mean 2-3 people, like a mini town circle, its basically what chaoser suggested, right? Also if I happen to manage to pick both a PM buddy and a History Keeper that are scum then my scum sense sucks

for arguments sake going to create analysis cells, use them for informational analysis
(even assuming I were scum there is no way) I could ensure each has a mafia member in it as there isn't enough mafia to go around (I am trying to put at least 1 TL vet in each) as the game progresses and people die we can have new cells form. (also you are free to create your own parallel cells)

Hmmm, no red text this game.

Let me spell this out, I suggest that people bounce analysis on the people in their group before posting. This also allows people to bounce ideas of each other and generate more discussion and ideas. This is to 1 generate new ideas, 2 point out faulty logic, 3 give us more to analyze. You have no obligation to do this, but I think its a good idea, the groups are essentially random with the exception of including a tl vet in each group.

i don't like this. Lets say that 4 groups are contaminated with mafia. Then mafia will know 40% of the info, that is a lot of info and influence for them to work with.


The brilliance is that no "secret" information is going to be shared, its only for bouncing off ideas and analysis, this encourages more active posting as you feel obliged by more active players asking you questions and bouncing ideas off you. This leads to people posting more and more stuff to analyze

At least that is my reasoning

I'm fine if you want to make your own cells, this was to avoid the typical TL problem of cells only forming around vets, hence promoting inactivity by making newer players feel left out of the action, I suggest you form your own cells in addition to these and dont share info from one cell to the other if you suspect them that much.

Alternatively you may want to randomly shift rows of up and down to rearrange the groups, as I said even if I were mafia assuming 7 mafia (a high number, but possible) then at most I could have 3 groups with 2 mafia in each, or 7 groups infiltrated, if used properly it should not matter if the groups are infiltrated as no confidential information will be shared in it, feel free to shift the group if you with though

This would get us raped by the role reverser, and is really a scummy idea
unvote;
##Vote: GMarshal


did you not read the part about it being only for analysis? There will be no roleclaims in those circles, unlike you not all players feel the urge to announce their blue status to make themselves targets for mafia.

Are you tired or are you playing stupid intentionally?

No, I'm playing different than when you saw me as a DT in a no flip game, its a completely different scenario, also I don't think I'm playing that different, but it is a different scenario.

You completely misinterpreted what I said about cells, I restated what i said about cells several times so if you read my posts you should have understood what the intention behind the cells was

now I have a question to ask you: what was the purpose of claiming vet? Now mafia won't hit you neglecting your usefulness as a hit absorber, also requesting claims is a scum tell. What plan are you going to propose next, perhaps a nice mass claim to make it easy on mafia?

You are setting off every alarm on my scumdar, my only defense of you is that I dont think mafia would play this badly

Cells are a good idea but GMarshal giving us predetermined groups that he thinks we should work with is pretty scummy. They weren't just like 1-3, 4-6 either, he moved them around to his liking.
Not a good candidate for day1 lynch because I don't feel that that alone is enough to incriminate him but definitely FoS on him.

Ok, so like Gmarshal said, we shouldn't depend on blues this game. Especially since RoL specifically said this game was to punish us for what happened in Salam. At the same thing, I don't think the mafia powers are all THAT powerful. Let them frame away, that's one less death to worry about. PMs are allowed but PLEASE don't just give out crazy info in them (roleclaim, etc.). The point of town is not to have 1 leader controlling everything but small circles that are separated so that if one goes down, the others can still operate. Let's all work together and not let a few players handle all the work (which always seems to happen). This means contributing pleaseee.

is scummy.
Him noting that mafia isn't that powerful is something anybody could point out. Role reversal has huge potential but only if mafia has a confirmed blue. They still have to give up an entire kp to use it so they will not be open to using it without being absolutely sure. Role reversal on a townie does nothing except waste a kp.


I'll probably end up voting for someone who hasn't posted anything useful or that guy who thought annul was inactive(lol).


If you want feel free to RNG the groups, I just made it so each group had at least one veteran player so that new players could get good feedback, if you want you could slide one of the columns up or down a random number to change the groups around

also

Easily.
It leads to the sharing of information, which the mafia need in this setup to properly use their abilities of role reversing the town into submission, as opposed to straight up kill power.

If they know you are a Veteran, they can make you a PGO

We don't need cells, we have claiming
If you want scumhunting, do it yourself

The general plan for a town in a whisper/PM setup is
1) Wait on a confirm
2) Massclaim to the confirmed
3) Profit


I have issues with this post of your gryffindor, 1 it looks suspiciously like the plan that ended up with town getting raped in salem, 2 what benfit do you get from a mass claim when the DTs can be easily fooled? All the other roles don't require any kind of exposure as Vigi and Hatters can use their own discretion and medics should have clear cut choices. What does mass claiming to a "confirmed" (you still haven't set out a mechanism to confirm a townie) do for them other than expose them to getting hit by mafia?

Also I agree that if you want scumhunting you should do it yourself, but like many other things it benefits from peer review, again this is partially to stimulate activity as in PM games newer players often feel left out of the backstage conversations and post less for that reason, its extremely frustrating in that situation.

Also assuming the setup is 5-7 mafia they still have 3-4 kill points which is average for a 30 person game, this means that they don't need to use their role reversing powers successfully to win, they just need to slaughter the town, if they can do that by using role reversal then it will be faster, but ultimately they don't have to.

TBH I think you are town, I just think your plan would cost us the game if we were to follow it

we will learn soon enough. It is also possible they get to pick to be permanent, or nightly. I'm not quite sure on the mechanic. Lets assume it is permanent, and they pick a GF and a role reverser
they'd still have 1.5kp which would round up to 2 afaik

The best thing to do is to not come out if you're a hatter, for sure
If you're a cop, I wouldn't come out unless you have a guilty, or are pressured
I wouldn't ever claim as medic, unless someone you protected and saved is up for lynch
Veteran is OK to claim, many setups have bulletproofs claiming first
Vigilante is OK to claim TOMORROW if you claim who you are going to kill - Don't claim today, as you can't kill tonight

I agree 5-6 seems reasonable and generally scum dont get roles, at least in my experience, however this isn't that relevant. Also 3 kp would be reasonable especially considering how the mechanics of this game work

you completely misunderstood the OP. Here is what happens, night 1 mafia get to choose a GF (I'm assuming one right now for explanation purposes), this does not cost them a KP, rather as long as the GF is alive they have 1 kp +.5 for every other mafia member alive (Assuming 5 others, that would be 3.5kp). These KP can be expended as usual to murder people, if they choose however they can sacrifice .5 of a kp to use certain powers and 1 kp to role reverse, in this setup its actually as efficient for them to go ahead an just shoot people as it is to reverse them, save in a few circumstances. Does this make sense? if we assume mafia is not going to use any of their powers the first night then that means 3-4 people will die tonight, barring medic saves and vets.

The best thing to do if you are a blue is NOT TO CLAIM. Claiming makes you a target, vets should NOT claim as if they don't and appear pro town then they attract mafia shots and make them waste kp which is their job. Medics should never claim, Vigis can claim before they fire I suppose but since mafia also controls KP it would be easy to fake. Detectives should probably only claim if they check someone who isn't in the spotlight and get scum, since frames and covers make it easy for scum to fool them into killing town. (Actually I'm almost a proponent of lynching the DT first then the alleged scum, as this way you can check if the DT is actually a DT or a mafia trying to pull a fast one, we'll debate it if the topic ever comes up). Hatters should not claim and should be cautious with their bomb placement.

generally DO NOT CLAIM TO ANYONE, claiming makes you a target, if you are an useful role then this is bad

Ok thats it I've tried to be reasonable and explain my reasoning, yet you seem to refuse to read my posts, you brilliant strategy is what ended in town slaughter in Salem, if you haven;t noticed RoL alluded to this game's setup punishing that strategy, now you are pushing for a strategy that a mod essentially pointed out is a bad idea... so either you want us to lose or you aren't thinking.

So answer me this, what benefit do blues get out of claiming to confirmed townies? how can you guarantee to me that someone is a townie? (vig's aren't sure due to mafia controlling KP, medic protected people I might trust more but all it takes are two mafia willing to stick their neck out to get a nice list of all the blues in the game following your plan.

I'll say it again, DO NOT CLAIM. PMs are to be used for information gathering and analysis discussion, to poke and prod and force mafia to slip up.

Also "this is how you play" is not a good explanation of why its a good idea, while I gave plenty of reasons why it is a poor one.


since people seem to be dissatisfied with my sorting I made new groups these are simply 1,2,3 then 4,5,6 etc. No one is obliged to use them, but for new players especially it helps to have people to bounce ideas off. It also leads to people being more pressured to post (does this make you people more happy now? Is it clear that this isn't some dastardly mafia plan to control the flow of ideas?)

I love discussing the possible setups with you, but it is really giving you an easy way out of actually scumhunting, so lets direct the power roles less and actually try to scumhunt, ok?



This I can agree with, although I think we are both somewhat responsible for going off on blue directing.

again, I did the new groups by going 1,2,3 then 4,5,6 and the old groups by essentially picking randomly and making sure there was at least one experienced player in each. Anyway if you don't like the groups feel free to not use them.

You guys are not the only people to revive PMs from me, I also PMed Gryffindor (didn't get back to me), chaoser, deconduo, kitaman27 ,darmousseh (there may be 1 or 2 more I don't remember off the top of my head) I've also replied to PMs from other people, this is a way of forcing people to voice opinions by asking them directly, I don't see what your issue with me using PMs as a tool is, its a way for me to see what people are thinking and pressure them to post by making sure they cannot ignore the thread/questions.

This is an issue how? I could see it if my PM read something like "hey I'm a vigi, tell me your role, NOW!" but this is just asking for opinions

This is seems scummier and scummier to me but i will reserve my judgement for now.


-_-

No I dont want read isolated, but people aren't posting them in the thread anyway, I may as well ask, I encourage people to go ahead and post them but by asking I'm forcing people to at least think about it, and if I see what I perceive as a scum tell or even a really good analysis then I'll tell the person to post it in the thread, or I'll post it myself.

However by keeping those reads "isolated" I avoid the typical scum tactic of restating someone elses opinion in other words (e.g. If I say I think Quatol is scum for A, B and C, it usualy turns into 4-5 people saying "yeah, yeah" and scum "contributing" by saying "well Quatol is scum for B, C and A")

So ON, who are your scum reads since you insist so much that all interaction should take place in the thread?

My issue wasn't that you sent me a PM, it was that you and gryff sent me an almost identical one within a couple hours of each other.

This coupled with the fact that the two of you have been going back and forth without actually saying much makes me FOS you.


Well hypothetically if we were scum wouldn't we have coordinated that better? Anyway as I said I've been PM alot of people to get their opinions so I'm not that surprised that I happened to overlap with someone

If someone manipulates or changes PMs to say what they want that's a scum caught straight away.

Also as easy for 2 scum or more to edit and post PMs to kill town


While I appreciate the sentiment, I don't think that's an issue right now, even if that did happen, when the townie flipped green we would immediately go after the people who posted the PM

I understand that. But if we get in that habit scum will use it to kill us at endgame. Better not doing it at all.


Ok, I can see that, I really didn't consider the possibility in an endgame scenario

That lessens the power of the DT but they are still nowhere near useless.

-They will can verify other blues
-They still return the right alignment if role reversed
-Mafia are forced to waste KP if they want to Cover/Frame


Alright useless was a wrong choice, however I don't want people just going out and claiming DT just because they got red on a check on someone controversial, there has to be more substance to it, e.g. scummy posting associated with it, checked twice and got the same result, something like that

Point 1 did not occur to me, great catch, although blues can still be framed
Point 2 I dont quite get what you mean, can you explain it a little more
Point 3 is the reason DTs should try to avoid claiming, to keep scum on their toes and force the expenditure of kps

Actually I agree with deconduo, can you point to a single useful contribution you have made? As a matter of fact have you done anything but clamor for hanging me and chaoser?

Also does anyone else get the feeling that there is a large number of lurkers/inactives right now?

I think I'm going to go poke them with the PM stick.

A post by post analysis of the contributions of annul (I know some people think post by post analysis are not good, but it works for me) as usual my comments are in bold

+ Show Spoiler +
uh has this game started? i dont see a day 1 post or even a role PM

ok, we can discount this post


+ Show Spoiler +
okay hi peeps

vote chaoser. that post reeks of redness.

p.s. still no role PM!

Ok, two things throwing around FoS without justification is a big no-no, if you think something is scummy give a reason, I won't comment about role PM timings as I do believe it is against the rules, still no way to call this a contribution at all


+ Show Spoiler +
also where is the voting thread?
ok


+ Show Spoiler +
nobody in this game should trust gryffindor whatsoever. i read orgah and i have NO IDEA how he didnt die like 5 days before he did

also, he's a smurf and if you read this forum you should already know who he is ;\

I agree I have no idea why he didn't die earlier in Orgah, however that is neither here nor there, although I will agree about not trusting him, too bad annul is going to essentially agree with everything Gryf says


+ Show Spoiler +
it reeks of red because he is like "hey so theres weak powers in this game lol" which can only be known if he is a red, since if he was green he cant make that blanket claim and if he was a blue, he'd even be less inclined to make that claim

the only way he can do that is if he is red and he sees the red team has weak or no powers

finally a justification of his FoS on chooser, lets analyze it shall we? so essentially because chaoser thinks that mafia powers aren't that powerful (and cost for cost they may not be) this means he must be scum, faulty logic at best. Also the powers are in the OP, so no need for him to be red to make comments on them, all in all its a really weak reason to FoS someone



+ Show Spoiler +
yeah that would be... foolish

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

spam, lovely, although it did get a small grin from me


+ Show Spoiler +
what?

that post makes no sense. like, i dont mean the logic, i mean the grammar (though the logic probably sucks too)

I don't know what he is referring to, and I dislike the snarky comment, also not a contribution


+ Show Spoiler +
Meme in response to my cells idea

well it was a funny picture, but hardly a contribution


+ Show Spoiler +
same reason you knew the mafia was weak?

repeating bad logic does not make it into reality


+ Show Spoiler +
pretty sure its better for people to post things in the thread -- much easier to catch red slips that way.

if people only post in these mini town circles, then people are probably more inclined psychologically to trust their town circle and not consider them red, etc.

actually a decent argument! +1 to his contribution count! Still I've said and emphasized that PMs are a tool to be used for scumhunting and that the purpose of the circles is to promote activity, and not to trust anyone still I like to see that annul is at least thinking


+ Show Spoiler +
(/snip)
(Me asking what the purpose of claiming vet is)

wifom

one word response that fails to really address the question, still though gryffindor can at least rest easy that he will not be killed, not because he is a vet but because he is disrupting town


+ Show Spoiler +
I'M A VET TOO

I BROKE THE DAM

...ok...moving on


+ Show Spoiler +
but for real lets kill chaoser and GM

the level of depth to this argument is breathtaking, I do wish it came with an index so I could properly format my response to each of his well made points


+ Show Spoiler +

(/snip RoLs first clarification about DTs)
mafia and townie are not roles, they are alignments...

I thought RoL made sense, still I guess having things clarified is never a bad thing, lets call it .5 of a contribution


+ Show Spoiler +
also hi. am out of class now

why arent we killing chaoser or GM?

im gonna go ##vote chaoser now myself.

hi! when voting please provide reasons, otherwise I might think you are just trying to get people lynched for no reason, we wouldn't want that, now would we?


+ Show Spoiler +

(/snip chaoser asking for a vote justification)
i already did, you should probably read the entire thread

I addressed your "reasoning" already, now do me a favor and try harder, also if someone asks its not that hard to go back and quote your post


+ Show Spoiler +
actually in fact, the only way you can claim "ive been really scummy so far" is if you saw my play last night, and if you did, then you know i already explained that vote. interesting.

what? color me confused. what vote? guess what? spamming useless one liners and not contributing is scummy!


+ Show Spoiler +
(/snip me sarcastically saying that its a good idea to lynch chaoser and I)
its brilliant when you post the dumbest shit possible yeah

harmful activity isnt exempt on day 1

so, please go over in detail what "the dumbest shit possible" is. Maybe if I had suggested a mass claim or perhaps the formation of a circle of confirmed blues rather than independent scum hunting teams that would have made you happy? please tell me what harmful posts I've made, I really want to know so I can rectify my play in the future. I'll say it one more time; do not make unsupported statements and expect me to take them at all seriously


contribution count= 1.5 (with me being really generous with what constitutes a contribution, really more like .75)
post count = 18

verdict = either aggressive scum or bad townie

If his posts continue to be this poor then we may have no choice but to hang him

While I'm at it what is your opinion on my analysis of annul? also what do you think of gryffindors alternate plan ? Who do you think is a good lynch target?

Agree. Vote gmarshal with me, he is the one who had the.idea


ok, go for it, please kill one of the most active players, the one who actually proposed a plan that is an alternative to "lets let GFs fuck us over, like in salem",if town is stupid enough to go with your plan and your lynch then I hope they realize their mistake in time to hang you.

Let me be frank, I think you are town, but how absolutely terribly you are playing almost merits a lynch, ffs you can't even seem to point out a major flaw in my plan aside from "it not how this setup is played! I know because I am a mafia god!".

I guess this is your master plan for surviving, make mafia unwilling to hit you by helping them along.

You want to hang me? post a goddamn analysis I can at least rebuff rather than these unsupported accusations that are "GMarshal is scum, because I say so" major, major FoS on anyone who goes along with your bandwagon

Analysis doesn't mean shit Day 1. I don't see why you feel so compelled to pull stuff out of your ass and call it high level analysis.


nice defense, I love the part where you address all my questions, especially the one about why my plan is bad, also I notice you have many in depth contributions, so I guess its justified that you would criticize a poor lurker like me, and allow me to note I never once referred to anything as high level analysis, good way to dodge the questions though! Care to insult me too at this point? I mean im sure a few well aimed offensive remarks would add depth to your brilliant deconstruction of why my plan is scummy.

Also post analysis is always good, at any point of the game from day one to lylo, so please take your scummy ideas and aggressive attacks to some more easily intimidated player

Alright, let's just say you are being productive, what conclusions are you actually arriving at?

Sure
1.) This is a set up that is going to emphasize using PMs to root out mafia
2.) due to the set up and conditions any plan like the salem blue circle is going to be doomed
3.) The best way I see to address this is to make small town circles and use them to gather information
4.) there should be no claiming save rare circumstances,not even in PM and not even to "confirmed" townies
5.) We need to make sure lurkers post as they often cost us the game, hence PM circles can pressure them into posting, also directing votes at them can push them into activity
6.) Gryffindor is most likely just a townie that is playing an awful game of mafia, the fact that he suggests a plan exactly like the one that cost us the game in salem is cause for alarm
7.) annul is most likely not scum either, just another stupid townie, if he were mafia someone would tell him to cut the shit out
8.) DTs are almost worthless
9.) Jackal may be mafia he is not playing his usual agressive, tunneling game, and is almost as subdued as in MiniMafia V

10.) you still failed to address my questions

The only reason to include every post is when your strongest points lack substance. If you are trying to "fluff" your argument then it probably means you came up with your verdict prior to analysis.

I love "scum or town" verdicts.



1.) I always do post by post, check the end of orgah and my analysis of beefy (which ended up being dead wrong by the way)

2.) I'll retract that, thinking on it I'm convinced its just stupid townie, however I wouldn't oppose his lynch as he is playing poorly and hurting town

I was waiting until tomorrow to post about jackal because I figured that at this point people would jump on my for "derailing discussion" or something stupid like that. However jackal's current play-style is very much in line with his style in MiniMafia V where I was mafia with him. Right now I'm not seeing Jakcal's usual tunneling and focus on one or two players who he is absolutely convinced are scum, nor am I seeing his aggressive posts, as a matter of fact I'm not seeing much of him at all

Drink beer and play pinochle.


Icemac is on my "scrutinize every word" list.
So are the following:
Annul
GMarshall
Gryfindor


Wonderful, as long as somone is paying attention town should win

Just one thing though, isn't ironic that you are inactive until about 3 minutes after we call you out on being inactive? To me at least that seems somewhat suspicious.

ok well i mean

i have great reads on both of them, but i dont know what else i need to say about it. can you tell me why chaoser and GM are NOT red?

the cells idea is horrible. why do we want to keep analysis private? there is no point in "bouncing off ideas" to a RNG "town circle". this only hurts us. why keep analysis of any type from the town? also, the point of these town circles is what exactly? to have people critique any analysis before "revealing" it? ok assume that is the case, then what happens when the mafia are in these cells? player A says "OK so i got an analysis on player D (outside the cell), who i think is mafia" player B says "no thats horrible, ________" and convinces A. A now doesnt say anything, to not look stupid (that IS the point of these cells, after all!). oops, B and D are mafia. we're fucked.

if A just came out and said "hey i have this analysis" B is probably less likely to defend D if it's blatant redness


No, the point is to cause otherwise inactive players to feel obliged to post, it is to increase the amount of information available, when I ask a general question like "what do you guys think about GMarshal" lurkers are free to either ignore it or jump on what one person says. By using these circles people are actually forced to voice an opinion if you guys want there is nothing stopping you from posting all the analysis you do in the circle and every random thought you have in the general thread, also its important for people to remember that it is possible that people in their circle are scum, thats part of the goal of the circle.

Also nothing is stopping a player who writes a good analysis from bouncing it off people outside their circle. Although I will agree that the weakness of this circle plan is the fact that a 2 scum circle can adversely influence the townie

tldr: the point of the circle is to force people to think rather than sheeping with other peoples opinions

EBWOP assuming 6 mafia (a reasonable number for a 30 person game) at most 3 circles could be made up of 2 scum 1 town, which with the rng method is very unlikely anyway.

Inactive in thread will still be inactive in PMs.

but its less likely to happen if you have someone asking your opinion and thoughts every day or so, I mean I know that when I was new I didn't post as much because it was terrifying, I'm not saying it will magically make everyone active but it should at least encourage activity, at the very least the other members of the circle will realize the person is inactive and will make sure it dosn't go by unnoticed

I still dont see how the circle inhibits thinking, part of playing mafia is being confident in your analysis, if someone thinks your analysis is awful you go ahead and post it in the main thread, if others think its good then congrats you may have uncovered scum, if they also think its awful then its a learning experience...

anyway, can we be done arguing about the cells? if people think its a good idea then they should follow it, if you think its stupid then you have no obligation to participate. We should now focus on scum hunting and pressuring inactive. Does someone want to propose an inactive, or should I?

So, wait let me get this straight gryffindor you just spent the entirety of the begging of the game pointing out how terrible and scummy my plan is, how I am obviously scum for proposing such a terrible plan, and then you do a 180 and go along with it...

FoS on you, not for accepting the idea but for your hand picked cell list

Allow me to point out a list that cannot be biased or affected by mafia, I posted it earlier, it consists of grouping players #1,2,3 into group 1, player 4,5,6 into group 2 etc. While it won't have the advantage of natural leaders and it dosn't guarantee we have experienced leaders in each cell
it is guaranteed not to have hand picked scum teams in each. (Not that it would matter if they *did* but its better to always hinder scum's plans)

I said no such thing. Do not claim that a host said something he didn't. Seriously this isn't tolerated behavior. Unless you show me a PM from either Meapak or myself saying this you are getting a warning. PM me.



Actualy Jackal brings up a good point, dont we have a LaL policy in place? I'd hate to see it ignored just because jackal seems like a good lynch target, especially after gryffindors sudden change of heart

Also, how is it that you can't correlate my idea with his cell idea? Just because we have cells scumhunting, doesn't mean we can't PM a confirmed on d2 or d3. I do not see how it is black vs white, when there is in fact a lot of room for gray area.


This statement by him is pretty good, I agree that both can be combined if needed. Makes me think he's green cause he's willing to compromise instead of just toeing the line which is much easier to do as mafia than to reach across the aisle.


Actually I missed that part of gryffs post when reading it, fine then its not as abrupt a change as I thought, and I can understand the urge to put out a list to counter my original list, I'll retract my FoS on you gryff. I think you are probably town. Personalty I would never claim, to anyone, but people are free to do as they wish, and if you do get a working town circle out of it then more power to you. Now lets try to reach a consensus on a day 1 vote

Alright, lets do this then, to be honest I don't think icemac has given us enough to work with to really make a judgment on him, as the game progresses if he dosn't post more we will have to just hang him, but for now I want to give him a chance to talk. Annul i'm ambivalent about, I'm not sure if he is scum, but his lack of actual contribution makes me suspicious of him, so for now I'm going to vote Annul, I may switch my vote as more information arises

##Vote annul


come on people only a few hours left and we have to lynch someone, it may as well be someone who's death will provide us with key information

Thats right, I do not believe annul is scum, but there is a chance I am misreading him, my reasons for lynching him

1.) He is playing poorly, if he is town then I don't want to bring him with me into situations in which I need to be able to scumhunt without being tunneled the entire time. I am perfectly fine with people writing accusations and analysis against me, and when an excellent analysis pops up that "proves" I am scum I will be the first to praise it, despite it being wrong. My only objective this game is to get people to think for themselves rather than accept what they are told, this is the surest way to ensure town victory.
Face it, what annul is doing is not scumhunting its tunneling and accusation without solid base, if he were kind enough to actually provide a decent amount of support for his accusations then, yes I would have no issue taking him with me to the late game, and would retract my vote now

2.) I would rather not lynch a new player that has the balls to go out and post, sure he is new and learning, but I'd rather hang a vet who I know can do better and is playing intentionally poor than a new player who has a chance to learn.

I would rather *not* lynch annul, so I will propose an alternative target, a lurker who just bandwagoned, without providing a reason ICanFlyLow

you know what, I'm tired of bandwagons, I told myself I would play differently this game, so here goes.

I still dont think annul is scum, hence I will not contribute to hanging him, if you guys want to feel free, but I'm going to trust LD's experience with this player, heck I'm slightly pissed at annul for tunneling on me, but still I don't want to waste my vote killing a player I think is town, and while I wouldn't be happy to have annul with me at lylo, I would be even unhappier to have ICanFlyLow with me

I'm going to ask that everyone who thinks annul is town move their votes to ICanFlyLow, no one can argue against the fact that ICanFlyLow has been lurking hardcore, and to me at least its somewhat apparent that annul is probably not scum, I've looked around and as far as I can see it is his same posting style. While it is what I see as aggressive it seems to match his style of play in other mafia games, hell he gets credit for thinking I'm scum, at least he unlike quite a few players had an idea. Also annul seems to be hinting at a blue role, if he were scum he would have claimed by now, IMO

If I am wrong and annul flips scum this is going to look terrible for me, but w/e we all have to commit to something

Alright if we are going to discuss blues we may as well discuss them with specifics.

First thing take everything I say with a grain of salt, I am a very suspicious player now

Medics: Protect LSB, Mr.Wiggles and Foolishness

DTs; check inactive players and players away from the spotlight, people like SerApH and ICanFlyLow is probably a good idea, if you want to check me that's fine but realize that I could be covered if I am scum, framed if I am town, or just a very stupid godfather, so this in no way clears me. Take all your results with a grain of salt

Mad Hatters; Place bombs on the most suspicious players (LD, me, really inactive players, etc), and people who you think are probably mafia, careful though if you are mistaken and die you take out two town players.

Vigi's; Nothing tonight

Anyone else have any thoughts?

Notice how there were 3 kills assuming a normalish setup and the fact that we killed a scum earlier this suggests that at most 1 and most likely no frames/covers were used, which means that any DT check can be somewhat trusted, not fully though due to the GF and Miller roles. Still don't claim, but know that your results are probably good, hence if you see town going for a blue or green lynch try to redirect it

LISTEN TO GM'S PART ABOUT CLAIMING! DONT CLAIM!!

I just asked RoL how the KP works to try and figure out how many mafia there are and he said mafia can round up. Assuming 6 mafia like people mentioned before, 5 left, that's 1+/5x4 = 3 KP. That means they can still kill 3 and have .5KP left over to frame/cover.

100% DON'T CLAIM if you've found a townie or a vet, it's too risky, they could be GF or covered.

Unless of course you're gryffinder. Then by all means claim some thing else.

I was on the Annul wagon, a wagon on mafia. Were you?
I didn't think so.

Its called bussing, its a basic scum strategy to appear pro-town by, when the lynch of a team mate appears probable or inevitable jumping on the wagon. I shouldn't need to tell an experienced player like you this gryff, the fact that people were wrong in thinking annul was town does not make them scum, and conversely voting for him does not make you town. allow me to ask, do you still stand by your vet claim? I won't quibble about your sarcasm or lack thereof.

it looks like a OMGUS vote to me, and your reasoning is weak to say the least, as this single vote can be quite revealing but it alone in no way makes a case against someone.

Interesting list, LSB it seems like a solid system, it reminds me a little bit of Ace's Zodiac List. So we should keep our eyes out for players in Lists 1 and 2 lasting till the lategame. I think DT checks should be focused on the undecided/list 3 people as they seem to be more likely to not be framed or covered. Medics need to protect list 1.

I like this list because it thinks longterm, while it won't be terribly useful for scum hunting now, when day 5 rolls around it will be much more useful.

Thinking critically I can't really find anything really at fault on this list other than it seems like List 1 players are being given perhaps a little too much of a protective treatment, which could be a scum move to ensure they get to late game/waste medics, still it seems like a solid thought process

Also while I'm bored (read, should be doing work) I'm going to go ahead and post my thoughts on all the accusations and FoS that have been thrown around since the day began almost 24 hours ago.

So the first real development is Coag posting a vote against cube, which is an ok move as we need to pressure the more inactive players, jackal does the same a little bit later, because it bears repeating here is Jackal's handy list of players with few posts

+ Show Spoiler +
he following need to step up their game:

Gofarman - 8 posts
astroorion - 3 posts
JBright - 4 posts
ICanFlyLow - 2 posts
ohN - 3 posts
why - 6 posts
CubEdIn - 6 posts
LastArgument - 7 posts

Fewer that 10 posts this far in is inexcusable.


note that IcanFlyLow was replaced

then I post with a little bit of thought as to what the kills mean for us, and repeate my NO CLAIM message, which chaoser and LSB repeat in the following posts, still at this point nothing exciting has happened and then we get the first real interesting post

Jackal after saying not to claim goes ahead and points a FoS at gryffindor, he dosen't provide any backing for me to comment on, so I hope he takes the time to make a post with some actual analysis other than "he claimed vet" which is actually a scummy move, but not enough on its own to make a judgment one way or the other.

Grryfindor then does an OMGUS vote against jackal using as his defense "I voted for annul" which is at best a flimsy defense, but then again the attack was flimsy too. My only concern is that gryffindor dosn't point this out an demand an explanation (the rational choice to defend himself) but rather resorts to an OMGUS, which is a poor defense most times.

Coag then points out that gryffindor is emphasizing the fact that he voted for scum way too much and that that may be a scum tell, I am inclined to agree with coagulation on that one, in fact I would really like it if jackal fleshed out his attack against gryffindor to see what kind of defense gryffindor might try to put up.

Gryffindor then goes ahead and defends himself, since I want to really analyze his defense I'm going to quote his post and go point by point

+ Show Spoiler +
I'm going to have to start linking my games here as meta...
I haven't ever bussed someone on teamliquid; it isn't how mafia is played here. If you expect people to be bussing, you are playing very poorly as town. WI'm going to have to start linking my games here as meta...
I haven't ever bussed someone on teamliquid; it isn't how mafia is played here. If you expect people to be bussing, you are playing very poorly as town. Would I really go out of my way to push the lynch of my mafia buddy? Would said mafia buddy THEN counterpush me? Who have I had interactions with that would look like my scumbuddies?

ok so here you say bussing is not how mafia is played here, which is blatantly wrong, in minimafia V, node jackal and I were on the same scum team and we bussed jackal day 1, with Node leading the analysis against him. There are other examples like the game (I don't rember the #) where LSB ran for mayor with a scummy plan and Dr.H decided to bus him, LSB survived that day by persuading RoL that he was town in PM's, but still bussing is a technique that is used on TL so that use of meta is downright wrong. Also everything besides that last question is WIFOM , as if you thought it was likely annul was going to be lynched with LSB pushing him it would be a great idea for you to get on the wagon early. As to who would you have had interactions with? annul actualy seemed to agree with most of what you said, and from a town perspective our argument about the plan may have been a good way to confirm us as town if we are both mafia. Icemac also seemed to be on your side aggressively pushing against my plan without any sold reason

IF I am lynched, this is a very laughable town

oh ok, you clearly prove your townness with that

Annul had associative tells with both GMarshal and Icemac, both of whom we should pursue lynches on, but you all are so hurt that someone is a better player than you, you can't get over the fact that OMGUS/bussing is just senselessly being thrown at me when both aren't relevant to this particular scenario. The OMGUS relatedness isn't relevant because some OMGUS is very-town, especially when the goal of it is to point out that I'm part of the reason why Annul got lynched.

ok, if you were really town your OMGUS would have looked something like "wtf voting against me with no reason jackal?" also what associative tells did i have with annul? that he pushed to lynch chaoser after FoSing me? and what I have no idea what associative tell you want to use to associate Icemac and me, still I appreciate the effort to at least do some scumhunting. and how are the terms OMGUS and bussing not relevant, they clearly are.

Apart from GMarshal or IceMac, Seraph would also be a good lynch from my perspective, due to the recent post he made sounding like goading/fake-sincerity regarding the medic/cop snipe, and considering his excuse for lurking in the same post... well, it just reads forced and overly defensive.

ok, I like that you are at least thinking, Seraph however I have a town read on, due to the fact that he has been at least moderately active in PM land, still I wouldn't mind getting more from him

GMarshal looks like Annul's buddy to me, because Annul gave him a casual FoS in a post that he failed to try make look real, followed by voting someone else. It was way past where the RVS should end, and it was a lackluster post saying "Well, i'd lynch gmarshal or ___". He listed GMarshal first, talked about him like he was suspicious, then failed to vote him, voting someone else.

ok, a decent point, wrong unfortunately, but a decent point, this at least seems like active scumhunting so kudos for that, but I think you are reading far too much into annul's aggressiveness, as IIRC he later voted for me (I dont really remember though)

Now, I see I have a few votes on me now, so unvote

I'm not convinced, you uncomfortable in the heat gryffindor?

If you're unfamiliar with me, go read Orgah mafia.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=186653
I am a Serial Killer in this game, and obviously scum. I say obviously, because my play there as scum is contrasted with how I am playing in this game. In that game, I was generally unhelpful, lurking, and inactive. This game, I am very active, and dedicated to the town teching up

alow me to point out that changing your style is not that hard, compare my current active planning to my rather more crappy posting style in XXXVI. usually quoting other games and saying "see im nothing like this" is a scum tell, as changing ones style is not that great of a challenge


thanks guys, love you all



next decon posts he calls out gryffindor on a couple of the things I mentioned + on lying, which is a good call

also in reply to "GMarshal, I feel you gotta step up. It looks like you tried to save annul near the end." I have no real defense, I did try to save annul as I thought he was town and it was LSB going for a grudge lynch, but let me say that being wrong about someone does not make me scum.

chaoser then says he likes ohN's posts although there are only 3, which is dissapointing, still a contribution by chaoser, not much to say on it

barundar then casts a FoS on LSB, I think LSB is playing pro-town and knowing LSB if he is scum he will continue to be active and slip up eventually, so I wouldn't wast a vote on him yet, although keep your eyes on him and watch out for scummy plans.

LSB then does a pretty in depth analysis of barundar, however I think LSB is wrong, although he says its not OMGUS, I get the feeling that it really is, barundar defending annul does not make him scum, and bar was convinced jackal was scum before the wagon started (we discussed it in PM) he just did not want to leave an analysis early to be buried in the discussion between Gryffindor and I, while he was away. So I think LSB's point 1 is just outright wrong. Point 2 is interesting but I would not read too much into contradictions although I feel they aren't as contradictory as LSB thinks they are.

Barundar promises a case against LSB, which I am anxious to see and analyze.

More back and forth between LSB ensues, I'm going to wait on Barundar's analysis of LSB before really discussing it

why then agrees with LSB to pressure Barundar which is ok, and then does something really good, he calls an inactive out, specifically he pegs Beneather, gj why although I still want to see you post more as you still feel lurkerish to me

LSB then makes his list post, which I fully endorse, its a great idea and I give LSB +1 karma point for it, makes him seem like town in my eyes, some debate back and forth about it but we all agree it seems like a good idea, chaoser points out possible scummyness with LSB taking a leadership position, and questioning leaders is important for outing scum so chaoser seems more townie in my eyes for it

just my general responses to things, feel free to question me/debate anything I say in here, as the point of this is to get some discussion going

I agree I have been reading the thread, but when voting its important to give reasons so the other person can defend themselves, and people with poor memories can be reminded, you dont have to go back and go post by post but just listing a few points helps

e.g.
1.) proposed and pushed a terrible plan
2.) argued against a good plan
3.) lied
4.) set my house on fire

even if we all know what they are it gives him room to respond and makes your case look better

Ok, at this point I dont believe either Barundar or LSB are town, Barundar because of his analysis and convictions, LSB because he seems to be playing pro-town, knowing LSB's general scum style however its not impossible for him to be scum but if he is he is almost guaranteed to push a scummy plan or lynch sooner rather than later, why take a huge gamble on lynching a great player who seems pro-town when he is likely to screw up as scum and get lynched later?

As I see it right now this is a case of two townies tunneling on each other, so why don't we go after the player who seems to be trying to slip under the radar?

I looked through and saw there weren't any great analysis out on you icemac, so for your convenience I decided to write one! no need to thank me!

ok I'm only going to take the relevant posts as people seem to dislike my posts where I look at every post (as usual my commentary in bold)

+ Show Spoiler +
Seems like shit's hitting the wall pretty hard without any real leads so far. Since its too early, why not just get a semi-active who is probably smart enough to keep their heads in the game but not smart enough to post big as a mafia. I guess this is ironic coming from me seeing as how I've just got up to date & posting.

this is an interesting point considering the fact that the people in suspicion at the time were me, gryff, annul and chaoser, if icemac flips red then we should scrutinize chaoser and gryffindor (and me actually) I'm not really sure of what to make of this post one way or another, seems just like a general town post


+ Show Spoiler +
Also, I just want to say that these cell things is either big balls move by mafia or the workings of bad play.

here is a post I take issue with, not because it goes against my plan, but because it provides no reasons for it, it just labels it as bad play. I have no problem with discussion, its when there is no reasoning behind it that I start to suspect people. Also its rather aggressive play for a player who just got here (not that that's a bad thing), but it is mimicking annul's "arguments"


+ Show Spoiler +

Analysis doesn't mean shit Day 1. I don't see why you feel so compelled to pull stuff out of your ass and call it high level analysis.

and here is a damning post, anyone who argues against analysis gets an automatic scum point in my book, and the rebuff saying it was pulled out of my ass in no way actually addresses any issues he may have with the analysis itself, +2 scum points


+ Show Spoiler +

(~snip, gryffs mention of a possible link between me and annul)
I doubt mafia is this stupid.

Thats an interesting post actually, notice how this isn't constructive at all? I'm seeing a pattern here of not actually contributing and just dismissing things in general, now I know I'm town but if I were scum it could easily be a slip on annuls part, never dismiss a possible scum slip +1 scum point


+ Show Spoiler +
I'm proposing we kill 0 of annul, GMarshal, gryffindor, chaoser and play it by ear afterwards.

you were asked to clarify if you meant 1, if you did then this is a null contribution, as that was where the town was tending anyway and you failed to provide any reason why any of us was a compelling choice at all, +1 contentless posting!


+ Show Spoiler +
(~snip me calling him out on the above posts)

Alright, let's just say you are being productive, what conclusions are you actually arriving at?

its a good question but he fails to substantiate his arguments, I think I call him out on dodging my questions later


+ Show Spoiler +
(~snip, list of inactives by kita)

Where are these people?

thats not a contribution, at least put a vote on them to pressure them ,+1 meaningless posting


+ Show Spoiler +
(~snip why's arguments against icemac)

So by responding to posts, I'm up for lynch? I've said a lot: the current way we're analyzing data isn't optimal. I don't think we should be you using scant data on Day 1 such as you, yourself, are doing. The reason I'm not listing any names other than the inactives is because I have no reasoning against anyone. I don't think I'm forcing myself at all; instead, I'm making meaningful posts on how town should act on Day 1 which is lynching inactives and semi-actives trying to stay in the covers.

Ok, so lets see that actual substance of your defense, basicly it is "I dont like analysis day 1" and "I dunno who to vote for" and you make a pretty basic mistake, you say town should go for lurkers day 1, which is a mistake, town should pressure lurkers day 1 and only lynch them if there is no better alternative, becuase it is easy for mafia to move votes onto a town inactive, rather than a scum lurker, still an easy mistake to make


+ Show Spoiler +
(~snip do not claim message)

seriously

not a real contribution, but people have been doing this all game long (reinforcing the don't claim message)


+ Show Spoiler +

What I mean is that we shouldn't lynch any actives because they're at least contributing. We'll be able to see their alignment or slipups in the future via posts/ pms/ hit patterns/ lynch patterns/ etc. If it's really that important, then I say ICanFlyLow for not talking at all. First person in the list I found that wasn't talking at all.
##Vote: ICanFlyLow

so after deciding that my plan is scummy and 1 of gryffindor annul GMarshal or chaoser should be lynched you switch to an inactive? I already explained why voting for inactives to make them post is good, but after agroing on me so hard this seems like an abrupt change

+ Show Spoiler +
(~snip ON making a FoS on him)


How the heck am I red? Just because I'm smart enough to take a bipartisan approach to day 1 and not listen to over analysis and red-analysis doesn't mean I'm scum playing the middle of the road. Right now I'm pretty convinced you're either a baddie or straight up mafia.

this is an OMGUS attack without the actual vote, since ON accused him he must be scum, this is bad play from icemac


+ Show Spoiler +
Also, I'm not jumping into this Jackal58 bandwagon because I'm not bad. Lynch me if you will.

this actualy merits a townie point, refusing to jump on an easy bandwagon to take votes and suspicion off himself


+ Show Spoiler +

(~snip, Ser Aspi posts an accusation at wiggles)
I like. Also, I hate how me and annul are cast with 100% of the blame for just being active holy shit. I think Ser Aspi is got something here.

Trying to jump on an easy bandwagon or just easily persuaded? hard to tell, also you weren't taking the blame for being active, but rather for being aggressive without arguments.


+ Show Spoiler +

What do you mean by a huge dive. I changed my vote from an afk-player who just stopped going afk to some major bandwagon scum. Playing it by ear.

so you admit that you are essentially sheeping, that is terrible town play (see minimafia VII for an example of why), if you had at least said it was for reason 1,2 and 3 then it would have been but that just points to either bad play or something more sinister +.5 scum points


+ Show Spoiler +
Fair analysis. I just want to ask about the lynches. Haven't played with TL before
How significant are Darmousseh, Kitaman27, Mr. Wiggles as players? Are the known for being good players, etc. ? Also, is there any of their caliber that "should be dead" but isn't?
I'm okay with
##Vote Barundar
for now.

stop sheeping , or if you are going to at least point out which points swayed you the most , ok LSB posted a good analysis but think critically about it, I will admit you weren't the only one swayed by it, so I'll give you a pass on that one. Also good questions, I'm glad you are thinking/asking them


+ Show Spoiler +
Oh boy, if ohn is mafia and i'm town, i'm going to quote the hell out of this afterwards.

it could be a slip, but we all make mistakes, Im willing to give him a pass



Verdict: despite some mistakes and somewhat new play I don't think he is scum (last person I said that about was annul, so take it with a grain of salt), so for now I'm going to put him under sheeping town really though you need to start providing reasons for your posts.

ok, so can we agree to lynch neither LSB nor Barundar? I feel both of them are town and losing either of them would hurt town, I would much rather we hung an inactive or lurking player, as we really should not risk killing two players who are playing pro -town at the moment, if either is scum we can rely on the other to pick up on it as they suspect each other heavily, if both of them are scum then they are clearly on drugs of some sort.

Well, I disapprove of sheeping, but to be honest I hadn't considered the evidence from annul in regards to icemac, so while I don't think his posting is utterly scummy, I believe that his few scummy posts in combination with annul not redirecting towards him are damning enough, watch me be wrong on this though

Ok, so reading over Foolishness post and looking back at XXXVI only on thing stands out in my mind, and thats the fact that when LD was the SK he played aggressively pro town, I would have guessed that he would play the same style as mafia, however I could be wrong, and there is certainly something off about LD this game. I already said earlier that just by looking at icemac's posts I wasn't really feeling that icemac was scum, so I'll change my vote (again), I dont think enough people are going to switch over to actually get a lynch on LD today, but its worth a try, worst case scenario we lynch a town and end up with a lurker being forced to be more active

sorry we like moving votes around, its fun, it leads to chaos, I wasn't really satisfied with the icemac lynch but I didn't want to waste my vote on someone who had no chance of dying, this way I actually get to vote for someone who may be mafia!

@gryffindor I "knew" icemac was town because after a couple sucky posts (which I rated as scummy) he got better and actually started doing stuff, hence I attributed the scummyness to being just general mistakes from a new player, rather than actual red play, thats why I came out with a green verdict. Events after that only confirmed it in my mind, which is why I did not end up voting for him

This is interesting, it hints at mafia having 3 kp or else they cannot afford to rb anyone.

Also do any vigi's claim to have shot last night? because if you did then we know that mafia spent a whole KP doing something else, if no-one claims the vigi hit then we have to work on the assumption that there wasn't one. Also gryff you seemed pretty convinced you were going to die...

a rb costs .5kp so assuming that the kp are rounded up for the purpose of killing then I assume that mafia with 3 kp can spend .5 to rb and still kill 3 people. Is there something wrong with this assumption? also if this isn't so then a vigi shot, and should claim ASAP

ok if there are 5 scum left then that would be 1 gf kp + 4 * .5 grunt kps, leaving them with 3 kp, assuming jackal and LSB are telling the truth that means that they used up 1 whole kp for role-blocking, leaving 2 mafia kp available for killing. 3 people died so something is off

consider some people are on different time zones jackal, it could be 8+ hours before we get a claim, instead of focusing on the vigi and the kill points lets wait 12 hours before discussing it, if there was a vigi he'll have claimed by then, otherwise we have a liar in our midst.

Instead lets take a look at Ser Aspi's Axis of Evil post, shall we?

Alright my friend JBright you posted a little something that makes my blood boil, namely this

On February 28 2011 23:08 JBright wrote:
There isn't all that much for me to say in this situation. I think my play so far have been a hindrance to town - at best a bad townie and at worst a lurking scum. Both situations won't bring me to a situation of being nightkilled, so I'll assume that I'll be up for a lynch by the next day cycle if there are no better candidates.


Why would you do this? if you really are town then you are making us waste a lynch on you and you are wasting your vote, remember every townie we lynch brings us four deaths closer to lylo, so if what you are saying is your real attitude, then not only are you wasting your potential to analize or at least think, but you are wasting town KPs on you when we badly need them to kill mafia. I can undertand that the thread is intimidating, especially when you see people with 6000 posts posting these biblical length posts, but in the end your vote is worth the same yours is, all you have to do is think critically and post what you think. No one is demanding you be right, no one is demanding you post homeric epics that clearly prove who is scum, all I want you to do is use logic, and post what you come up with.

Please if you really are town then dont make us sacrifice 4 townies (you + 3 night kills) because you don't want to think, or post your thoughts. Its ok to be wrong, its not ok to not commit.

So I'll ask you JBright, what do you think of LD as a lynch? If you had to lynch someone within the next hour and your vote decided it who would die? Is there anyone who you think is certainly town, anyone you think has to be scum?

Come on man, the game is no fun if you give up on us.

@gryff or you know the mod decided to put the name in green? it would not be the first time a mod has made a minor error like that. Its also jumping to this huge assumption off a tiny thing, so I think its best we ask

@Mods is there any significance to ON's role being in green rather than black (outside of what his alignment is I mean)

Its day 3 and LSB isn't dead, this to me is incredibly suspicious, usually I wouldn't go after a major player like him, but seeing what he flips will tell us alot about other peoples alignments, specifically chaoser, barundar and bumatlarge. Lets see what LSB flips, shall we?

Also chaoser you neglected to consider that perhaps mafia is only allowed to kill up to 3 people per night.

Original Message From seRapH:
Well I hit a pretty number so I'll stop posting in the thread and move to PMs ^_^

Anyways, what's your take on chaoser and gryffindor?


+ Show Spoiler +
Original Message From GMarshal:
chaoser is an active poster, so even if he is mafia I would let him be for now, as he is likely to slip up later, right now I want to see who is going to be inactive and pressure the hell out of them. gryffindor sets off my scum radar because of his vet claim, especially after I said not to claim, however I just don;t think he would be stupid enough to post that if he were mafia.

annul is annoying me due to what I see as his intentional stupidity, which could be a scum tell, coag is being his usual unreadable self, so I may consider proposing him as a lynch target

your thoughts?


+ Show Spoiler +
Original Message From seRapH:
Chaoser strikes me as a panicking scum, but I could be wrong. Selfish townies like staying alive too. At the very least he's made my list to watch. Gryffindor is either really bad or is playing a game with some sort of intricate plan. I'm looking at the setup though, and I don't see how a mass claim could benefit town within reasonable probability.

Honestly, I'm really afraid of annul, since the two games I've played with him he's been godfather XD. And both times he's won. So who knows. If he starts an unreasonable bandwagon though I'm going to push for his lynch.

Coag I've learned to ignore. If we really get nothing better at the end of the day though may as well kill him because he really won't be giving us anything In any case, we have a lot of time. We should be able to dig up something better than coag.


+ Show Spoiler +
Original Message From GMarshal:
The thing with Chaoser is that he gets targeted day1 almost every game so he takes poorly to it, I'm in a PM circle with him however and he seems like he is pro town at the moment, however I will keep my eye on him. Gryffindor i dont understand, he is top of my scum list ATM, there is no way claiming vet is a good idea, and I honestly don't believe him, mass claims generally don't help town except in really specific setups, so it wouldn't help here

Annul I haven't played much with so I'll believe your read of his playstyle when you get one, I actually really respect coag's scum hunting abilities, despite his occasional slip up (Guts and Glory, ugh >.<), so if only for that I'd like to keep him around

barring any solid scum reads today I'm going to go for an inactive/lurker lynch
however we still have 46 hours or so, so we'll have more to analyze tommorow.


+ Show Spoiler +
Original Message From seRapH:

Oh ok. Not too familiar with chaoser, first game with him (I think?). You're in a whole circle with him? Huh. Well I'm sure you know what you're doing.

Gryffindor... His votes thus far have been on who? Foolishness and you? He's piling on the scumminess. The only thing he's got going for him is that no one's even trying to defend him. But maybe his scumbuddies just haven't had time to voice themselves.


And conversation two on 2/26/11 18:25

Original Message From GMarshal:
So, since you seem to be shy of posting in the thread or something I thought I'd PM you

So, what are your thoughts on the current situation?


+ Show Spoiler +
Lol sorry I'm not exactly on top of my game right now
There is definitely experience in the mafia. If annul gave up because his team sucked it was not because everyone on his team sucked. Look towards veterans and good players, at least one of them is scum, I wouldn't be surprised if it were someone who's usually much more active too.

Who are you thinking about lynching, or are you content with staying back and watching people's reactions for now?

I might have to end up trusting your judgement by the end of the day, depending on how sober I am in 48 hours >_>


+ Show Spoiler +
At this point I want to see how people react to pressure, I'm starting to light a fire under the inactives, (i've PMed most of them), and the OMGUS by gryff was really suspicious. Also cube is lurking which is really rare in him, so I would look to him as a potential scum. I can understand being busy on a weekend, (I have exams next week, its going to be glorious -_- ) so no worries, we still have 48 hours to see how things play out



So yeah, nothing in there that I see as incriminating, in fact I think it points at seraph being town. Thoughts?

Actualy I think LastArgument slipped under my radar entirely, also Foolishness you make some pretty good points, if LSB is scum he is going to keep posting and we'll eventually catch him with a scummy post, so I guess voting for him is not a good idea.

as a request can you link to a game where town lynched for information and it worked out poorly? I'm not doubting your statement, but I would like to read it for myself.

For now I'm going to vote for an inactive/lurking player, I offered him a chance to reform, but I guess it wasn't good enough

I defended him? I posted my PMs with him that made me think he was town, yes, but thats it. I didn't create any last minute wagons or any crap like that, so I don't really see where you get that. (Actually I may have defended him day 2, I don't remember). If you guys want to waste a lynch on me you can feel free to, but all that does is waste a lynch.

This is just a friendly PM from a fellow player in Mafia XXXVII, I noticed you aren't posting much so I decided I'd ask what you think of the current situation in the game. Are you getting any scum tells from anyone? Do you have any thought on any of the arguments that have been going on?

Hello the reason I havent been posting is because i sleep and i go to school so i will be reading the rest of the forum right now and answer your questions after that. Sorry i go to high school 30 mins away from my high school and i have to get up at 5:00 in the morning for practice.

its just that inactivity often ends with the town losing horribly, so I'm making every effort to make people post and think

Original Message From kevconsim:
Most likely gryffindor is Mafia, vet or (Mad Hatter) because he seems to be trying to Control the conversation and he is not answering a lot of questions he is just trying to deter them. I doubt he will get killed tonight and i think that if he is MH and can get the bombs placed i think it would be good to keep him around


I dont know about Coagulation he seems to be hiding in the back more than the other games that i have read.
This is also my first time playing Mafia so i am kinda getting used to how to play.

Jackal saying that he will post peoples pm makes me not want to trust him.

If i had to vote right now i would prolly vote for annul because he is pointing out several people but he is
1)not giving reasons for why people are scum

I am pretty sure you are town. I am pretty sure you are blue too but i do not know which one.
Thats all so far!

Original Message From GMarshal:
Good thoughts, I suggest you post at least some of them in the thread, especially the comment about coag, I think it is insightful. gryffindor's play is hard to read, my only comment on it is that I dont think mafia would play that stupid, although feel free to press him on any of these issues.

Good thoughts, I approve, keep it up!

if you want to bounce any more ideas of me I'm around

Sure annul seems like a good vote, right now I'm still mulling over the options, I'm not sure that annul is scum, but it will be interesting to see how he reacts to pressure, that will probably be a tell one way or another

See we got him. That was my best guess and i was right.

Next i think Icemac should go.

I am a regular townie so i dont really do anything at night right?

Besides talk and discuss no, you have no special powers at night (or during the day ), this is when people like the Detectives and the Mafia send in what their actions are going to be

Thats what i thought thanks
who do you think should go next

Original Message from GMarshal
To be honest I really don't know, give the night some time to go by, wait till morning to see who dies, take a good look at who voted for who today, most important, THINK, you'll never get anywhere just following peoples advice, so go ahead take a look and form an opinion. A good player to look at would be Lunar Destiny, another good one to look at might be SerApH.
When you have an opinion PM me and we can discuss it, and also post it in the thread.


Notice the bluefishing and the green claim

Again this is in the likehood that a vigi decides to perforate my skull in the name of the town, it should at least give you a decent lynch for tomorrow

AND THIS IS FAIR?
You just completely made me believe LSB or Jackal had to be scum because of that, yet you didn't clarify what you were doing before you did it? Half of my posts today have been influenced by that. This is terrible...........


No need to get angry about it, people make mistakes sometimes, nothing bad happened, we got scum, so lets just concentrate on getting more scum tommorow, rather than getting pissed off at a mod forgetting to tell us something, shall we?

First of all, Vig who hit LastArgument, please claim.
-------
I find it weird that LastArgument is a veteran. What should a veteran do? Absorb hit from mafia. In this game, LastArgument didn't post a lot and lurked like hell. He makes very little effort to take an hit from mafia.

I believe that it wasn't mentioned that mafia could have used a KP on him. One might argue that it make no sense for mafia to hit a hugely suspected town. But look at kenpachi's death. Although Kenpachi is less suspected than LastArgument, Kenpachi was still consider as bad target to use KP on. The reason reason for mafia to use KP on LastArgument is that mafia just want to lower the amount of players.


Right, but why hit someone who is likely going to be lynched the next day, thus wasting the towns kp? A better target would have been someone like gryffindor or chaoser, who despite having some suspicion on them did not have two huge posts written up on them that are likely to lead to their untimely deaths.

Generally mafia KP go after active players who are a threat to them or likely blues, not players who are going to be hung the next day.

If mafia did shoot LA then they are obviously high, if a vigi shot him then its in our best interest for him to claim. More likely then not however LA is a panicked scum who is lying, and mafia either reduced their kp by using powers or double stacking on foolishness (or they are just down to two kp)

Alright, so this either confirms you two or is a desperate scum gamble to survive, if we hung either of you the other would be confirmed, however the price of that confirmation is bringing us one day closer to lylo if you guys aren't a scumteam...

So, people what are your thoughts on the topic? If we lynch LA we confirm LSB as town or scum depending on the flip, alternatively we could just ignore that and go after kevinconism/others as our lynch of the day and worry about LSB and LA tomorrow, hoping that a mafia hit would flip one of them for us.

Also LSB I call shenanigans if you wanted a vigi to shoot Barundar then you could have done it yourself, why didn't you? You have been calling for that shot for two days now, interesting that you didn't take it.

If you are that sure that I am scum then it should sound like a wonderful deal to you, if you are scum then you'll come up with some brilliant theory why this is a scumplan.

My only condition is if you want to take me up on this the entire town has to agree to hang you tomorrow

1. LSB is town
2. LSB is vigi.
3. LSB shot bumatlarge not LA.
4. I am speaking for one of our medics.
5. LSB was hit on the last night cycle.
6. LSB is protecting LA for reasons that none of us in the circle truly understand.
7. LSB believes LA to be town. That is his belief alone. I am not defending LA.
8. Nobody in our circle is defending LA.
9. I cannot name any of the others in our circle without throwing medics and others to the wolves. I will not do that. Do not ask Gryff. I will not answer.
10. I have been in contact with people that were in a circle with Foolishness.
!!. Their scum list matches ours on 3 out of 4 names.

1.) right...
2.) ok...
3.) then why the hell did he lie about it? and why bum? EXPLAIN!!!
4.) ok...
5.) and why didn't he claim that this morning, it would have been nice to know?
6.) Then I want an explanation out of him, PM will suffice
7.) LSB believes alot of strange stuff
8.) ok...
9.) fine, I can accept that, I don't know how much of your circle is imaginary though.
10.) really now, that dosn't clear them at all though, being in a circle with someone means very little.
11.) and this list is?

this proves nothing to me you provide no evidence, and no backup after LSB playing the way he is i'm not going to just take your word for it jackal sorry.

Hi! Would you like to be the first member of my analysis circle? if so I'll be PMing you with my thoughts and bouncing analysis off you! I hope you can do the same with me. If you *are* scum, I don't care, as this will just give me more to analyze, if you aren't then this will be good for the both of us.

So yeah, RoL already warned us these would be necessary so I think we might as well start one, I think you should pick a 3rd member just so we can have the most unbiased analysis possible, if you don't want to pick a 3rd member then we can just go with a two person circle or I can choose.


+ Show Spoiler +
chaoser
You choose lol, and yes, lets, same to you.

GMarshal
So, I'm going to go with darmousseh, on a whim. that good with you?

chaoser
sure, i'd rather have a newbie in our group though since we're both decent players and I think by inviting a newbie in we prevent them from 1) lurking if they're mafia and 2) makes them feel more "part of the game" and so they'll actually want to play and help town instead of doing stupid shit/not saying anything so that by day 5 when we post analysis they'll come off as horrible red when they're just bored town, I know when I first started I chilled a lot and came off as that

GMarshal
I already sent him the invite, we can add a newb if you want though, go ahead and pick one randomly and we can incorporate him

Original Message From GMarshal:
The cells are just a group of people you bounce ideas off, this encourages more active posting as you feel obliged by more active players asking you questions and bouncing ideas off you. This also leads to people posting more and more stuff to analyze

yeah, i told him I was in a group with you

GMarhsal
ok, thanks

What do you think about annul's mafia count thing? also people need to get off my back, wish this was guts and glory again...

Original Message From GMarshal:
annul is playing stupid and I would lynch him just on that

it is true you seem to always be picked on day 1... sorry?

Its a fair assumption to assume 6 mafia in a 30 player game, but it could also be a scum slip, right now I'm unsure, if we did lynch him and he flipped red then I would believe we have a 6 mafia team to deal with

chaoser
Mr. Wiggle's post is exactly what I was thinking, we don't know the GF set up so it could be that there's 4 players only, or 5 for KP. Usually 6 mafia is standard when the KP is calculated as 3 for 6, 2 for 4, 1 for 2. But this is like some crazy addition thing with GF being 1 KP so the math would be off? 6 is like 1+2.5 so 3.5. I guess it's not that off since that means 3 KP + 1 power. Maybe I'm just too tired ugh. I think I'mm go back to studying and then turn in for the night





+ Show Spoiler +

chaoser
While I do like the idea of cells, I think you should back off of it, it's detracting from everything else town needs to do, feel like it's just two town (you and BM) butting heads over an issue you won't agree on. It gives a chance for mafia to seem like they contributing too by just dropping in and commenting. Let's just work on our own circle, it seems some have thought it was a good idea too. At the very least, activity is at an all time high this game lol. I'll post this idea in thread too.

Ok, I'm done talking about cells then. Lets get scum hunting/poking inactives

holy crap i'm busy for a day and the game turns into a shit fest...wtf annul...I'm willing to vote him just cause spam is BAD for the game, especially if it's just two people yelling at each other.

chaoser
Actually I was just about to pm you about that dude.

Annul:
At present, annul is bad for town whether he's mafia or not...I mean there's not helping town and there's being detrimental to town. Making the thread into a heated mud slinging battle=not very good atmosphere to be catching red in. Promoting discussion is fine, promoting flaming is not. It just lets mafia blend in and take sides and have an easy way of "contributing to discussion". I know he can do better too, it's just a question of why isn't he i guess. I hate policy lynches but if it keeps going this way...

I'm willing to have him as a fall back lynch if no one else comes up.

Icemat:
That being said, icemat is looking pretty scummy to me. He's not saying anything at all, he's saying there's nothing to analysis day 1 so he won't do it, doesn't take a real stance on anything. And then he votes an inactive when clearly we have A LOT to go on? come on now...what's your opinion on him?


+ Show Spoiler +
Original Message From GMarshal:
Annul I don't have a very good read on, he is either an aggressive/stupid townie or just scum. I agree though, he would make a fine fall back lynch, although I think LSB is pushing for him a little too hard.

Ice is playing faaaar to aggressive for a new player, its interesting how his PM to me is rather apologetic, which makes me think he is possibly flip flopping scum. Also notice how he didn't post all that much,yet he took annul/gryffindors side so he could have expected to go by kind of unnoticed yet noted as a contributor, also this would keep annul/gryffindor from jumping on him. Right now I have a minor scum read on him, hopefully we can bait out more information. Also anyone who says analysis isn't worth anything day 1 just looks scummy in my eyes

thoughts on Jackal?

chaoser
LSB just doesn't like him lawl lol. They got history. Can i see the PM from ice?

Gmarshal
Sure

"Hey chaoser told me that you me Darm and him are in the same circle or whatever. Just Pm'ing it up to get acquainted. My bad for shitting on your idea earlier. Still not a big fan of it but if it helps us win then so be it. talk to you later."


+ Show Spoiler +
Original Message From GMarshal:
Damnit, and I was sure he was town too... alright, thoughts? From the votes I would take a look at LD amongst others.

chaoser
dude...i don't trust icemac...he's in the group but hasn't said anything. He doesn't do analysis, gives shit reasons for not doing it, I think he's red, two bandwagons formed on him and annul, mafia couldn't do anything and bussed annul while trying to semi trying to see if they could get it off him and onto other targets. what do you think?

Original Message From GMarshal:
Its possible, but what *really* concerns me is the ridiculous blue sniping that took place, this makes me almost certain that a really good player is on the scum team, also notice how they used up all their KP (I'm assuming 3). The other possibility is those blues were stupid and claimed to someone (if wiggles claimed then it was probably to LSB, IMO), just my general thoughts.

icemac we can go after if no better lynches present themselves

chaoser
if it's a 6 man setup and annul died, it's 5 men, meaning 3 KP. I don't know if RoL is using 1 KP per kill or rounding up system, I just PMed him. If it's rounding up then 2.5 KP can still kill 3 people and they can still frame/cover so if that's the case then i still wouldn't trust DTs, it could even be mafia claiming, and then when the person gets lynched, they can say he got framed...

GMarshal
I agree, I'm not saying to trust DTs, I'm pointing out that whoever mafia is feels confident enough to not care to use frames/covers that much day 1

Chaoser
hey, what are you thoughts on __________? I think we can trust him. Talking to him on skype, if you got skype, get on and we can start a chat, I think we can get somewhere with this

See the LSB situation makes no sense whatsoever, if LSB were really a vigi then he would have had no issue telling us the truth and then saying "as a confirmed townie, who was both rbed, and hit by scum and medic protected I hit bum for *insert valid reason here*" instead all he tells us is that he he hit a person who was most likely to be lynched rather than who he actually hit an dosn't mention his save? Sorry but if that is LSB's town play then I cannot believe a word he says from this point forward. Is it that difficult to understand that players on the town side SHOULD NOT LIE?!?!?!

Also its nice to see a blue circle formed, seems like we learned nothing of salem. I hope for all your sake's that LSB dosn't flip red or the streets will probably run with blue blood tonight.

Lynch LSB because he lied and town has no need of lies.

If he flips blue then its his own damn fault, if he wanted to defend LA he should have used logic not lies.

Well, at this point I'm 100% chaoser isn't scum, if he is he has put in so much effort into making his pms consistent and logical that he deserves to keep my vote. Sorry LSB, but I refuse to let you get away with this justification for lying, if it really is an elaborate town plan then you should have tested it for inconsistencies before posting it, the whole hanging the vet proves nothing point is pretty strong.

Now if I'm wrong again and choaser flips red well then on my head be it. But I dont think thats going to happen

He survived a full two days cause we all thought he was 90% town. We then lost the game due to lying and bluesniping.

Why not 100%? Give me one solution. LA is Vet, and I get him to claim that he was hit when he wasn't.

Again, you are falling for the bait. Instead of evaluating like a townie with "which one is better if we lose it", you evaluate it like a mafia. Which one is better for us to kill? Which one won't hurt us if he is a confirmed townie.

In fact, it still shows because instead of trying to lynch LA. You still try to push me.


Ok time to draw a word picture from a town perspective, without knowing you shot someone else and were protected

Scenario 1
LSB is Vigi
LA is scum
LA should have died and didn't , this is near impossible, discard this possibility

Scenario 2
LSB is scum
LA is vet
LSB decides to waste a kp on a minor target to claim vigi, ok its doable, but odd, I guess if the scum team thought LA was a blue or really wanted to confirm LSB, this is a real possibility although unlikely here the best scenario is hang LSB

Scenario 3

LSB is vigi
LA is vet

it makes no sense for LSB to waste his shot on LA but it could happen, if we hang LSB then LA could still be red and lying

Scenario 4
LSB is scum
LA is scum
They are both lying double hang.
if we hang LSB we prove nothing

Whatever happens hanging LA and having him flip blue dosn't necessarily confirm LSB, although having him flip red confirms LSB as scum as it could still be a scum KP. If we lynch LSB and he flips anything but vigi it tells us nothing about LA. this actualy smacks of an LSB power play. if it were anyone else I would have a hard time believing it

TLDR: from a logical town perspective lynching either LA or LSB would not necessarily tell us anything about the other players.

This means that anyone who wanted to hang LSB was just as valid as anyone who wanted to hang LA as it gives us different and probably inconclusive information depending on the flip.

I know, the point of this is that before we knew that it was not necessarily a mistake to want to lynch LSB based on the information we had at hand

So last night the following happened:

1) Mafia hit Foolishness, LA, LSB. LSB shot bumatlarge. LSB was medic protected. LA is vet.

2) Mafia hit Foolishness, LA, bumatlarge. LSB is lying about being vig. LA is vet.

3) Mafia hit Foolishness, bumatlarge. LSB, LA lying.

4) Something I'm missing.

If it is situation 1 or 2, why would mafia hit LA?




4.) Mafia hit bumatlarge, foolishness, LA and LSB are lying

5.) mafia hit foolishness, LSB, LSB was medic saved, LSB hit bumatlarge, LA lied at LSB's request so did LSB.

Alright, take a good look at lsb, he has been lying all game. That is by definition not town play. While his bait and switch plan *looks* good its actually entirely inconclusive and proves nothing at all, all it did was derail town discussion with lies and try to protect LA from being lynched.

LSB is most likely scum, lynch him

That should be a pretty good hint that its a desperation ploy rather than an actual plan, good plans are planned with time to actually work rather than pulled out of thin air with a few hours left. LSB of all people should be well aware of this

I still don't buy it, I hate to throw a convoluted ass plan out there but after seeing the joke that is "bait and switch" isn't it possible lsb is still scum and got a hit on himself knowing he was medic protected to "confirm" himself? It is far fetched but it would explain both why you are convinced he is town and how he can still be scum.

Sorry guys you know LSB is town 100% yet I know chaoser is town 100%, just by his behavior, gimmics aside.

If LSB hadn't pulled this crap with the bait and switch then we would all be happily hanging an inactive/probable scum, instead we are between lynching someone who I am almost 100% certain is town and someone who a self claimed medic thinks is town, wonderful...

No its not I "THINK" HES TOWN

there is no way for me to have blocked a hit for him if he is mafia UNLESS A VIGI SHOT HIM
THERE WOULDA BEEN A VIGICLAIM BY NOW. there aint no VIGI CLAIM.


H E I S T O W N



Or he had his scum buddies shot him to prove his towniness or you ARE JUST LYING

But it should be easy to check, if you are the medic you are almost 100% guaranteed to die tonight, I'm willing to put off the LSB lynch if everyone else can agree to not lynch chaoser. I don't see this happening though, and even if we did mafia might not shoot you to make us lynch LSB...

by the way chaoser defended LD in PM, I think I posted it already but.

+ Show Spoiler +
Original Message From chaoser:
what's with the flip flopping on the votes dude, I come back to everyone on LD...wtf. what happened to icemac vote?

Original Message From GMarshal:
I'm a really indecisive voter! I really don't think icemac is scum, if he is from now on I'll vote for whatever you do

anyway it was too late to deter the vote from ice anyway at this point we force LD to post more and can analyze the vote lists

Original Message From chaoser:
if he is i might start thinking you mafia...don't sheep after foolishness...he comes in and basically everyone goes, ok, ignore our day of talking, we'll follow you. i'mma channel anthoy weiner, representative from new york. VOTE IF YOU THINK HE'S MAFIA! DON'T VOTE IF YOU THINK HE'S NOT! DON'T SAY YOU'RE VOTING CAUSE SOMEONE ELSE SAID TO VOTE LIKE SO!

Original Message From GMarshal:
I made it pretty clear earlier that i did not think icemac was mafia, and him voting for himself pretty much convinces me of it, but LD voted for himself too to save icemac, at this point Im tempted to do like coag and jump on someone else entirely, but thats going to be a waste

So, since I'm still pissed at choaser flipping red and at LSB for his terrible play, and because I got four gated 5 games in a row right before being 6 pooled. I'm going to address why the "bait and switch plan" is absolutely awful, in the hopes that in the future other town players will refrain from emulating it.

1.) This isn't the main point but it is an issue. it revolved around false logic and any good townie is going to consider all the possible angles, it would have been much, much better if either someone who wasn't lsb claimed the vigi shot OR there weren't any holes that made lynching one not necessarily prove anything about the other, for example if jackal had claimed the vigi shot I may have well believed it without hesitation. Still before putting out such a risky plan it would have helped if you had considered the angles, specifically that lynching you 100% proved LA either way while the converse was not true.

2.)This is what pisses me the hell off about the plan. It involves lying, any plan that requires a townie to lie is bad by definition. Why? because from this point on no one is going to touch anything LSB says with a ten foot pole, because for all we know lsb is putting up some elaborate plot to catch scum and if our reactions dont match his preconceived notion of what an ideal townie would react like, well then, you are royally fucked. So grats LSB you confirmed yourself and got scum in exchange for making no one able to trust anything you say. I mean next time you say "a dt claimed to me and said RoL is scum" we wont know weather its actually true or some devious plot to see who jumps on the bandwagon vs who doubts your word vs who stands and dances a jig and for that reason people will try to avoid touching it or commenting on it, EVERYONE will be noncommittal about it, because if their reaction isn't what you expect well... then they must be scum, hang them. Lying is bad for town. I can't say it enough, yet some people seem to be unable to grasp it. I mean I had doubts when LSB claimed vigi and stuff but that was out of fear he was a scum lying, trying to confirm himself. Now whether I believe his alignment or not I cannot believe his words. there is a reason for LaL and its not only "scum tend to lie"

Was the plan clever? yes, yes it was, it gets applause from me for brilliant theory and decent execution. however I think you are going to find that it was overall detrimental to the town.

Have fun with your blue circle, remember that its just like the one in salem that screwed town over, except successful. I congratulate you guys on successfully braking everything this game was supposed to be about, not claiming, avoiding having one single strong leader, having people operating in small independent cells. Everything. I guess this is proof that no one learned anything from salem after all .

Also shout out to chaoser for awesome scum play. He certainly fooled me, and while you 'got' him with the bait and switch plan he got you by getting two townies to support him, ensuring you are going to waste at least one lynch, probably two.

I think this is going to be my last real contribution, I obviously suck at scumhunting and the town has the game well in hand with their wonderful circle of blues and confirmed townies.

I'm pretty sure gryffindor is town, JBright or LD are two people that people seem to have forgotten about somewhat after day 3. I know there are two votes for LD but there isn't any discussion about it really, just that 'he might be GF' While I'd be less suspicious of JBright over the suicide thing, doesn't mean he's cleared at all.

Well JBright is dead, you can feel free to try to kill him again if you please though

For now I'm moving my vote to LD, as from my PM history with chaoser he seemed upset when foolishness almost lynched him. Of course with my luck LD will be a vigi or cop or something.

Well, gryff is looking like town to me, his reaction to "dying" was pretty townie, at least in my opinion, I think I'm going to vote for ohn, as lylo seems to be approaching and I don't want to bring someone who has almost no posts to their name with me. Also gryff's style may be a little odd compared to what I'm used to, but at its interesting, and at least he is thinking, which is something to be valued in a townie.

I think modkills decided this game more than anything else, we lost, what 5-6 town to inactivity/modkills? We still have a chance at pulling through but we need to find the scum asap. I was really inactive after the chaoser fiasco, because I feel I'm just having an off game, but I'll make every effort to try to find scum tomorrow.

Some people disagree with me on this, but I see the night as just another opportunity to keep discussing.

to answer your question decon, however a lurker is actually a decent choice for a gf if you think about it, the blue cover role explains the lurking wonderfully, and it means that he is less likely to be lynched than a player that is in the spotlight, like say chaoser.

Still its a moot point, one of you two is a GF and I will make sure you hang today

from why
"So...where do you stand on things? I have been assured that kevconsim is town by Jackal and I believe him. Cubed I am convinced is scum and everyone agrees that you are town as well.

That makes the remaining mafia deconduo. Let's do Cubed today and deconduo tomorrow. Does this sound like a good plan?"

the thing is, why isn't infallible, and I'm not going to use a dead-mans word's to determine the game. Between the two of you however you seem like a better mafia candidate than kev... but figuring out who the scum team might have chosen as the GF is kind of wifom, so I'm going to go back and look at actual posts

Well, that is interesting, essentially it proves we have no fucking idea who is town and scum right now (well the GF clearly knows, but I dont), and the voting of the last couple of days shows nothing relevant at all.

so, some stuff from that, kev was in the majority of EVERY lynch, most of which had at least two scum already in it. However decon seemed to tunnel lsb pretty hard which actually matches up with chaosers goal, however while chaoser used his vote to try to protect scum it seems like decon's stayed on LSB which feels townie to me, nothing that clearly screams scum on either

Alright decon, why I'm NOT mafia:

If I am then I am a moron, I mean I defended every single scum and wasted all my votes, I think I was in 1 or two actual lynches, in all the others my vote was somewhere else, hell I wasn't even on the annul bus (And it was a bus, 3 scum were on it early on). Generally if I'm the GF then I've played it terribly. Hell I defended chaoser to the bitter end, convinced that he was town, if I were scum than that would have been a really stupid move. So yeah, I guess my incompetence as a townie is what proves I'm not scum.

Much like you I was utterly flabbergasted that coag would claim to LSB day 1, as a matter of fact until Mepack confirmed it I didn't believe a word of it. And in my defense I did defend icemac and gryff as being townies.

As for cases against you and kev its going to have to wait till tomorrow morning, I have a crapton of work left to do, although I'll keep the thread open to see what develops

Alright, decon you know I was leaning towards you not being scum, and then I saw the kill pattern, noticeably the fact that I survived the night.

So let me analyze this from a killer's perspective shall I? Lets assume I'm kevoconism and I am the scum GF, now I'm looking at who is left as a viable target and its

Why
Decon
GMarshal

now as kev I have this wonderful PM from why sitting in my inbox saying that if I survive the night I'm going to hang decon, and I have nothing from GMarshal except suspicions from earlier in the thread. Why in the 9 hells of bator would I choose to hit why, who THINKS I'M TOWN? that kill makes absolutely no sense from that perspective, instead I would hit GMarshal and have the game in the bag... but notice how I the gullible one survived the night

Lets look at it from a deconduo perspective shall we? I am decon the mafia GF and I'm looking at my targets for the night:

Why
Kevconism
GMarshal

Now, I could go after GMarshal who I know to be both gullible AND scummy looking, an easy lynch is I can persuade kev, which should not be a challenge. So why would I kill him?

Kev would be an ok target but then I have to convince GMarshal that why is scum or why that GM is scum and why has said that GM is probably town, now that would be a challenge, considering why is a pretty decent player who might make good arguments against me.

Or I could take out why, who is clearly the best player from those who are still left alive, as insurance I'll even use .5 kp to reverse him first. Then its a simple task of convincing kev that GM is scum because he has defended scum all game long.

That was a mistake, you should have hit kev, I was more than willing to believe why as a scum player, however I didn't post it to avoid him targeting me at night

For completness sake lets consider it from GMarshal's view point as well. Lets say I am the GF and I'm looking at possible targets for tonight

Why
Decon
kevconism

I could go after why who has already told me that he thinks Decon is the GF but that would be eliminating a very useful ally. I could also take out Decon who is my likely lynchee for tomorrow but that would be moronic, or I could take out kevconism who is a useless player who's vote I'm unsure of. There the logical move would be to eradicate kev and count on why following through with his plan.

So logically the only person who would kill why at this point in the endgame is you deconduo

Which means you are deconduo the Mafia Godfather

Well I thought chaoser was town, so I don't think my post analysis is good enough to make a judgment either way (on anyone). However I am decent with puzzles and logic and this kill only makes sense if it was preformed by you. Also jackal and why trusted kev, so why not? He comes off to me as a new but active player.

Sorry deconduo, but I've proven that every time I trust my thoughts on posts I end up siding with scum, so until i train my scum sense its down to voting analysis and logic and kill logic says you preformed the kills.

You are right, my defense of chaoser was a sheep move as well as me being the only guy defending icemac, yep I'm a sheep.

Assume I am sheeping then. Its irrelevant, i've already proven that my judgment is suspect. every single independent decision I've made this game has sucked, I chose to trust the wrong people, I defended and sided with scum on every occasion. I've proven that I have to leave the big guns to analyze while I limit myself to what I'm good at.

You call it WIFOM, i call it logic combined with past behavior. Looking at your posts you never actually really weigh in definitively on anything, your only contribution is the thing about DTs in day one and it proved to be absolutely worthless, I think you played a magnificent game of lurking, staying in the shadows and avoiding being called out for it.

Satisfy my curiosity, what role are you?

Alright, I was hoping for a blue claim at this point, it would have been pretty revealing. And btw annul was definetly a bus with 3/10 scum on the wagon, as a matter of fact there was no lynch with less than two scum on the wagon as far as I can tell so I have to say that scum had a pretty bussy policy this game. (and hell it might even still pay off)

So yeah I would have no difficulty believing that you bussed, well pretty much anyone, also your "I'm torn" vote with chaoser was pretty interesting, almost as if you knew what he was going to flip and jumped ship ahead of time

Also, in that case the game should have been over at the beginning of this day, you guys made me suffer for an additional 24 hours.

Oh and gg wp scum, time for some awards

Chaoser: Sneakiest Bastard, seriously I was convinced he was town

LSB: Most dubious play (bait and switch, really?)

Coag: Most reckless play, seriously day 1 claim?

Kevoconism and Ser Aspi, best "new" players

Foolisness: Most obviously pro town player

Gryff/BM: Worst Modkill

GMarshal: Most scum defended and most unsuccessful defenses, seriously every person I defended got lynched this game

those are just the ones that stick out

oh and the winner is

The Mods
