Well, thanks to pHelix Equilibria for giving us a good conversation/analysis starter! Until he gives us a reason not to:

Hey phelix, are you checking the thread at all?

We have four votes on you already, come. Make a hello post or something then we can move on with our town duties on catching scum.

I suggest the rest of you post as well. We don't want to run a lynch the inactives spree over here. Keeping silent also makes you a suspicious character, whether blue or mafia. Come, join the thread!

Alright, I made a short summary list of posts in this thread so far person per person.
Everyone take what you wish for yourselves from it, but what I find most disturbing is the lack of posts at some points. And some people didn't post for almost a day now. I admit there is not that much to talk about so far, but hopefully we'll get there soon.

I would like to see more talk from everyone, but those bolded ones have 0-1 posts and are the most critical in this situation.

phelix is probably afk and maybe even didn't notice the game has started. others have 1 post and know the game is on, yet don't post.

1. pHelix Equilibria
0
2. Rising_Phoenix
2 empty posts + 1 possible bandwagoning?
3. HardCorey
2 empty posts after asking, then trying to deny discussion (since noone has died)
then trying to confuse voting of inactive,
and then voting!
4. FezTheCaliph
1 empty hello post so far just to let us know "he's here"
5. Sirael
1 post after asking, afraid of making mistakes, eh? ain't we all.
6. Freestalker
DAT IZ ME
7. Enervate
only post so far is pointing fingers at me and jaminz for saying we're up to hunt scum >_<
8. Conversion
seems to be trying! +point
9. Jaminz
so far 2 kinda empty posts.
now voting
10. vyro
2 posts, so far also not too much,
asking newb questions (maybe intentional, maybe not? with all those guides around)
11. aScle
1 post, hi all gl hf! lolwut. that's it?

You want to read the OP for game-specific mechanics like clues. OP states that there are no clues in this game, so clues aren't included here. Any normal game with clues, however, usually incorporates something (sig, profile picture/info) into a night post.


about that. lately, i haven't been able to expand spoilers. when i click "show spoiler", the page refreshes to the top, and the address bar has a pound sign in it. i'm using chrome 11


Posting less is considered detrimental to ideal town environment, where everyone is posting and contributing. Posting does not necessarily mean that one is pro town, however. Being inactive let's mafia blend in and it is why inactivity is frowned upon. Inactivity isn't really a sure mafia tell, but it is considered anti-town/scummy behavior.

Lies to catch mafia.. I would suggest reading some mafia games where there were fake roleclaims that contradicted behavior/posts or something like that. Mafia actually falsely role claims often if it will pay off, though it's usually a very heavily calculated move.


ok, i see. i guess i could understand why they would want to fake roleclaim. i'll be looking through those previous mafia games, however daunting it may seem.

it'll be interesting to see how phelix defends himself if he ever shows up

Hello, sorry I have actually been out of town traveling in lieu to Easter Weekend. My sincere apologies. and was unable to see this. But it looks like there is a case of the ol' group think process. I'm obviously at a large disadvantage. But am I too late?

I see the deadline on the rules, but what is the rules regarding votes?
Can the town change votes? Before the day is over.
With a clear majority coming at me ? Eeek I am scared.

How about I tell a joke to lighten the mood or to show that the town will not be as fun.

We can change the vote, don't worry. We were just pressuring you for being inactive.

##Unvote

Now stay and contribute! :D

And try not to spam, it's considered anti-town/scummy behavior.

People might not take votes because they're not on the computer (time zone conflicts)

mmm, seeing there's some kind of activity now and you're not just dead weight, the vote may go to someone else. A good joke, btw

How about you, sir? Got something to say?

something changed recently with my chrome, so only i can't see spoilers. whenever i try to show spoilers, instead of it expanding, the page refreshes.

And try not to spam, it's considered anti-town/scummy behavior.


sorry for the unnecessary post on my part. i'm using firefox again, until i can figure out why spoilers aren't behaving correctly in chrome. i don't want to derail discussion further, but i would like to know how i can view things correctly in chrome again.

##Unvote

to help contribute rather than look like a big noob/scum acting like noob, here's my opinion of players so far:

phelix: knows physics and stuff. votes for an inactive
rising_phoenix: hasn't said much minus basic logic in favor of lynching an inactive phelix
hardcorey: hasn't contributed except for not wanting to lynch inactives
fez: no substantive posts
sirael: no substantive posts
freestalker: seems to know what he's doing. interesting banter with enervate
enervate: just one post, jokingly accusing freestalker
conversion: probably the most experienced here. probably doesn't like me for asking dumb questions
jaminz: wants to start random accusations? honestly, i also wouldn't know where to begin if it weren't for inactive either though..
ascle: no substantive posts

me: immediately self-conscious after reading other mafia games and seeing how scummy my posts look

so, the inactives to look out for so far are fez, sirael, and ascle
not much to look at so far it seems

Well I've read the other Mafia threads and you're right there is some heavy discussion here. But It seems like there isn't enough people talking to have a discussion. Much less we have two for a conversation. With more than a third being relatively quiet it seems the most obvious choice would be to get rid of the ones who are quiet.

You could get something going here vyro.

Hey, nothing to feel self conscious about I'm a pretty terrible player, but this is a learning experience. Let's just try our best to learn, yeah?

And it really is hard to have a discussion with so many people just disappearing..

So let's start off with some basic questions for everyone to spark up some discussion; I'm eyeing all the inactives right now.

DO you think we should lynch an inactive day 1?
What are your current opinions of the players in this game?
Do you agree with following policy lynches as the game progresses?

1. I think unless we find someone who makes a huge mistake and reveals himself being a mafia, then we have no other choice.

2. Well I made that list of mine, it is probable it'll change over time.

3. I agree with lynches for liars and inactives according to what I mentioned in point 1. Townies have no reason to lie. If we catch someone - lynch.


The problem with this many inactives is it lets mafia blend in. So if you have like 1 inactive person, you just lynch that one, no big deal if it's a townie. When you have 4, lynching all 4 of them is risky and takes too long while mafia kills at night. So we really need more activity. However, one should expect not all mafia members are lurking.

Another problem is quality of posts. With this 'quality' I'd probably still have a look at few 'active' guys.

Woah sorry guys. I had a long night(last minute project) and slept for most of yesterday =/
Thanks to freestalker and vyro for the sum up posts ^_^

Now I'll try to get a tally of the current votes going.

Enervate has 2 votes(including mine)
aScle has 1 vote
pHelix Equilibra has 3 votes(unless I missed an unvote)

and I'll join in the vote on Enervate because he's pointing fingers already but mostly because he's inactive since doing so

##Vote Enervate

hey fez, thanks for coming back. Just one hint - it's not allowed to edit posts if you have some issue with your post, edit it/write what you want different in a new post.
