I still have my suspicions on some people and am waiting for posts from jaminz, and hardcorey,
Enervate still didn't really contribute with anything, either. I'm holding my vote there for now. Sorry bro.

And one thing that came across my mind that someone might find useful, when you change the url to contain ¤tpage=all instead of ¤tpage=## (## = some number) you'll see the whole thread in one page. It's easier to search through posts like that. | ||

you always want to check the game specific rules on the OP for day/night cycles btw. and so many inactives.. guess we're going to end up with a inactive lynch like this. sigh, that's not good, but whatever. | ||

Yeah I always saw the numbers, but always was wondering how to explain them as I saw 2 possibilities. As it is, I now have few groups of people - inactives - Ascle and Sirael not really contributing ones - Jaminz, Hardcorey, Enervate and the confusing ones - e.g. phelix on the other hand, jaminz and enervate prolly ain't in one group, since enervate was 'joking' about both me and jaminz. he might be so cool and joke about his mafia fellow but I kinda doubt that. I have few more thoughts but I'll wait a while before presenting those. I gotta sleep anyway, will be back tomorrow afternoon (in like 16 hrs) | ||

Jaminz should post soon about his thoughts (as he said), hopefully it'll be before night. Still, so few people have voted it's kinda rediculous... Where is the participation!?!? | ||

1. We don’t really have a ton of information about anyone so far (besides # of posts & inactivity), so I agree with the arguments that we should try to keep things active. 2. Be wary of people quickly bandwagoning/jumping onto one target to lynch. Mafia only have one KP per night, so in order to try to gain an advantage more quickly, I’d expect them to try to get us to lynch people who they know for sure aren’t mafia. Thus, if you see 2 or 3 people quickly jump on a lynch candidate, I’d be suspicious. 3. There are a few votes against me thus far, but they seem to stem from the fact that I was inactive and made a comment early on asking if we should just start accusing people. I don’t really think that’s much of a reason to lynch me, so I’m not going to spend much time defending myself unless someone gives me a reason I should.

But It seems like there isn't enough people talking to have a discussion. Much less we have two for a conversation.

You could get something going here vyro. + Show Spoiler + On April 24 2011 06:42 pHelix Equilibria wrote: After reading the above posts. I believe the silent ones are the ones to really look out for. I understand the time zone differences. But I would say out of the silent ones. The one that pointed fingers relatively early with no supporting evidence is more suspicious. Phoenix is right, aScle said one thing so far, but then again he looks like he's in a different time zone, so when he does say more than one thing, we'll see. ##Unvote ##Vote Jaminz Later goes on to say we should be suspicious of inactive people/lurkers, and lynch them. That’s slightly suspicious to me, but not really enough to peg him as mafia (it’s still way to early obviously). To be transparent, I’ll mention he was one of the people who voted for me. Rising_Phoenix (7 total posts) Has been fairly active so far, at least with the size of his posts. + Show Spoiler + On April 23 2011 23:57 Rising_Phoenix wrote: Sorry I was very asleep so I just woke up (10:50am where I'm at). Since we don't have any conducive evidence of anyone who is mafia yet I think it is a safe bet to vote on pHelix. Unless he comes out to defend himself he is a safe bet because: 1) If he is mafia he is hiding from lack of posting 2) If he is a townie he is snot contributing anything to the posting/discussion 3) If he is afk he's useless to everyone anyways I need to read some older mafia threads to get a better idea of how to post and tells for who is mafia or not. So, until other evidence suggests otherwise: ##Vote: pHelix Equilibria Gives reasons to vote for inactives, pretty harmless post. + Show Spoiler + On April 24 2011 04:50 Rising_Phoenix wrote: ##Unvote Sorry I was at a horn concert and doing some other stuff as well. First, looking at this mathematically there are 11 players, 3 of which are mafia. If you randomly choose a person there is a approx. 27% chance of getting it right. However, choosing randomly is a bad idea since you never know if you're lynching an important member (cop or medic). The cop should look up a random member that isn't himself(obviously). That means there is a 3 in 10 chance of him being right (30%). If he is right, he should be able to hint to everyone else who is mafia. That leaves everyone else voting on another person. If you know who the cop/detective is, that leaves a 3 in 9 chance (33%) of being right. That's from 1/5 to 1/3 probability of being right. I don't know how well this works for day one but numbers are fun =]. ----- Break for other half--- Leadership for townies is essential, and right now it looks like Conversion and Freestalker are the two most active in leading conversation and topics.

Silent members have three possibilities: 1)They're trying to hide 2)They're lazy or disinterested in the game 3)It's a holiday and they're traveling Going through we have these people being pretty inactive: -jaminz: a few filler posts, nothing as contribution to the thread, pointing fingers -aScle: one post? -Enervate: very little posting as well These players have said very little or immediately start pointing fingers (Enervate) when they start pointing. However, it doesn't make sense to choose him because he hasn't bothered defending any accusations or contributing anything to support his claim. aScle and Jaminz have had very little to contribute. Their posts have little to no content and have not been active in general. Also, Jaminz has been very ready to point fingers but has little supporting evidence. I'll vote for him since he's just detracting from town synergy. So, unless he can defend himself: ##vote Jaminz This is his biggest post so far. I honestly don’t see a ton of value here. He did some basic math about chances of guessing right on the first lynch, but that doesn’t really help us decide who we should pick. He’s basically just mentioning some basic mafia strategy (the cop should hint to us which mafia to pick, etc.). There’s obviously no harm in doing any of this, and I guess I could see how it might be helpful to newer players. Building off of that: If you believe you have a strong scum/Mafia read on someone, the best way to go about getting the rest of the town on your side is to go back through every post the player has made in this thread (use the search function) and compile a list of suspicious behavior. I would strongly recommend that any blues not roleclaim until near the end of the game, or unless you find some other important reason to do so. Again, in order to be transparent I’ll mention he also voted for me. HardCorey (8 total posts) + Show Spoiler + On April 13 2011 09:06 HardCorey wrote: I just want to play. I think I can handle a non-newbie version but if this is the way to get initiated ill play here first. :D Right off the bat he mentions he thinks he’s ready for a non-new player version of mafia.

It's been a while now and I've seen nothing else just pointing of fingers at people who are willing to hunt the scum ##Vote: pHelix Equilibria “Your (not our) lack of experience” seems to again imply familiarity with the game. The last sentence is somewhat intriguing. He mentions that he’s waiting for people to talk, and that people are eager to point fingers at those who are scum-hunting, but fails to do any scum-hunting himself. Curious.

Devil's advocate is fun ^_^ Points out that we need to keep the cop/medic roles a secret for a while.

He gives his opinions on players with some (scattered) evidence to back it up. Right off the bat this gives me an impression he’s a town player. However, it’s still very early in the game so everything can change. aScle (2 total posts, our other least active player) He’s literally said nothing other than “gl hf.” He needs to post more, or I’d be tempted to put a few votes on him. More overall thoughts: We need people to post more. Don't be afraid to do analysis. The more people we have scum-hunting and looking out for suspicious posts the better. Don't worry about being wrong. It's much worse to just sit back and be scared to post than it is to have some of your opinions or analysis be wrong. This is a beginners game, so force yourself to make some posts & put yourself out there. No one here is a pro. | ||

And here's another thought: The more we post trying to figure out mafia, the more the mafia is trying to figure out important roles: the doctor and the detective. Posting is a two sided sword. Post too much and people thing you're either trying to be too good or being too active for a reason, or too inactive you're trying to hard something. Sometimes an inactive poster is just and inactive poster for one reason or another. Those are the main reasons why I'm looking at inactive players. The game itself is important, but we have to remember people have real lives as well (or at least some of us do =P), so anyone can't be on or as active as we like. If you're on a plane right for 5-8 hours you can't really be active for that time or if your busy with family. | ||

Enervate seems to have read the thread, noticed he was voted for, and done nothing at all to even attempt analysis. The last two have been completely useless, but we've got another day to get our votes in (I think) so everyone still has time. These are just what I'm leaning towards right now, so everything is subject to change. | ||

I really wanted to be like, hmmmm "Don't vote for me" , such a compelling arguement, and keep my vote for him, but since my biggest argument against him was inactivity and he somewhat explained it, I gave him the benefit of the doubt | ||

Well since its only the first day i can't really say much on who is who. but On April 24 2011 05:14 Conversion wrote: Still waiting on a lot of the inactives.. In my honest opinion, cop should check an inactive. It'll turn out to three outcomes, probably 2 or 3 since inactives tend to often be blue roles/mafia Writing in first person, don't take this as me being cop or anything. 1) Confirmed townie. Oh well, let's hope I get a better result tomorrow. I can defend this townie to death because I know he's town. 2) Confirmed blue role. Nice! Now I know who the medic/cop is. I can act very vocal and hint for the medic to protect me or hint DT to check someone I wouldn't check in order to get 2 checks done in one night. 3) Confirm mafia. Well, now I have to tunnel him hard and hope town follows my analysis and lynches him. Seems like a reasonable strategy to me except for the fact that if you get the first investigation as a townie then the subsequent choices on who to investigate would get harder as then there will be less or if not no inactive to check on. | ||

it seems like he is the most suspicious person to me as he started off basically accusing 3 people and upon realizing this tries to edit his previous post to get rid of the evidence On April 24 2011 05:21 Enervate wrote: Lol I started to edit my previous post but then I remembered we are not supposed to edit. About my earlier accusations, I was just kidding. I felt like saying something else besides "gl hf". He later shrugs off his accusations as jokes again On April 24 2011 05:21 Enervate wrote: Lol I started to edit my previous post but then I remembered we are not supposed to edit. About my earlier accusations, I was just kidding. I felt like saying something else besides "gl hf". The rest of his posts are pretty much saying "Don't vote for me" which leads me to concluding he is the most suspicious so far hence ##Vote Enervate | ||

the whole day. I already thought that i'd be modkilled by now I'll try to give some of my opinions. At the moment, ignoring the actual vote counter, it seems like there are two vote candidates pushed by jasminz. First there's the inactive aka aScle. While lynching an inactive (for whatever reason he is) isn't the worst thing to do, it is by no means the best either. It essentially gives the mafia one free kill in night1. Therefore it should be our number one goal to just get everyone posted as much as possible, simply ignoring the inactive. In case of need we can still jump on him if we don't find a better alternative. Jaminz' second suggestion is basically the same only that Enervate postet a reason why he can't post. When I look at jaminz himself i get a bit confused. He gets in the game saying that he want's to improve his analysis(which he obviously did) and at the beginning of the game he seems quite depressed that there's not much posting going on. + Show Spoiler + On April 23 2011 15:49 jaminz wrote: Should we just start accusing someone of being mafia to get people talking? I don't really know where to start the conversation. On April 23 2011 13:56 jaminz wrote: I don't think he meant we shouldn't discuss, I just think he meant that there's nothing really to talk about yet lol The first time I read those two posts I didn't really notice them but the more I think about it the more it seems like he doesn't want us to post that much. But maybe that's just me... He continues with doing what he joines the game for, analysing. So I guess he's quite safe for now, but you'll never know. I really don't know who I should vote for at the moment, maybe someone can give me a good idea? | ||
