Again I think we need to hear more from the quieter members of the experiment. I understand the glare of the bright lights and the threat of imminent death can sometimes make people hesitant to speak, but it is important that we all participate in the discussion, for science.

I'm not mean.

Sorry. I'll leave your experiment alone.

an unauthorized test subject! Quickly grab him, we needed a volunteer for the puzzle solving in extreme situations experiment! Ready the lava pumps!

(notice I said aggressive, not mean, new players often confuse an aggressive attitude with being mean, I dont think any players on this forum could be qualified as "mean")

That said, red, I'm glad you gathered your wits, you weeping was quite unsuited to your personality profile, the observing psychologist was having fits. What do you think of the current people who are speaking? Which of us do you see as most likely to be an anti-town subject? Most pro-town?

Speak up, remember that no matter what you say I will always be by your side, even as you are shoved into the incinerator.

also, in an attempt to get the attention of subject random4 I will now cast a vote against him. I urge him to stop screaming obscenities and pulling out his hair while yelling "not again, oh, god, why me? not again!" over and over and instead focus on the situation at hand, rather than pondering why some metaphysical entity that may or may not exist has caused him to be in this current situation.

Shut up orange no one is going to listen to you.

We use the town power day 3, and forcing activity by putting a vote on someone before they get the chance to vote is a little shortsighted. I'm not lurking in the shadows, I just fuckin looked at the thread now.

Protoss is obviously new, if anything really sticks out as scummy from him at the moment, please quote it and post why. Zerg seems like a much better lynch, not because he posting aggressively in caps, but because of the lack of analyzable content in his posts. Now THAT is scummy, and it appears as if he is going to make that his "thing" in the thread. Not havin it bro. Change up your posting.

Voting zerg.

He wants to pressure someone who hasn't looked at the thread yet. I could understand that later in the day or in the game, but right now its unnecessary. No scum is going to keep intentionally quiet on the first day when a bad town usually focuses on who is not talking, and its safe to put townie thoughts in since everyone has trouble contributing that early.

I appreciate the "vote" of confindence. Wanted to take this opportunity to take my foot out of my mouth and explain my "sheep" behavior seen here:

I'm new to this town and the lynching process, so I'm likely to follow along with whatever the majority decides until someone suspicious incriminates themselves.


In hindsight I see why this was extremely scummy behavior. All I meant by it was that I am a new player and was not going to be the first one to call someone out as scum because I do not have the experience to back that claim up yet. You may view this as a mafia member trying to back pedal, but honestly, why would a mafia member come out of the gate looking so suspicious?

(Yes, I know you could argue that is what a mafia member would say if he's acting suspicious on purpose to throw people off... all I can say is that's just not the case, and I apologize for any confusion.)

"Internal Memo: Subject Random4 reacts poorly to being pressured, attempt to comfort him to keep psychological parameters within the delineated range"

No worries, we are all subjects of the same experiment here. No need to rage, I love all of you equaly ^_^ As to not lurking in the shadows, its notable that this is your first post, my internal dictionary certainly marks not posting at all as lurking, but then again I am but a humble weighted companion cube, perhaps my dictionary failed to account for an alternate definition of"not engaging in discussion".

Why do you want to use our power day 3? Concrete mathematical reasoning if you please, not "it worked out last time" I scientifically outlined why we would want to use it day 2.

All that covered, I agree with you that Zerg's attitude is most anti-town, and as soon as I'm done forcing the lurkers to stop cowering I will vote for him, assuming no better targets have presented themselves.

That said I achieved my principal goal with voting for you, onto threatening to incinerate the person rocking back and forth in the middle of the room sobbing.

Orange, your on character behaviour is anoying and makes your posts unecessarily difficult to read for content. That makes you suspicious in my eyes.
As for protoss, he IS obviously new, but those are newbie mafia mistakes, not newbie town mistakes. He's either scum or useless so I stand by my vote to get him lynched.

I am most definitely not useless, I assure you. I am also not scum.

I am voting for zerg1. Despite posting several times he has not contributed anything useful to the discussion thus far, and more than that, the tone/content of his posts is something I can live without for the remainder of this expirement.

If it bothers you I'll tone it down, I'm not trying to make things difficult for anyone, but I will keep up some of it, because it amuses me. Sorry to be a bother. There was no need to attach suspicion to it, a "it bothers me, tone it down" would have been enough ^_^

I still love you, even if my persona bothers you <3

Listen Up everyone

Scumhunting 101 Lesson: Protoss1

1. He posted apologetically right away.

2. Continues to make excuses and focus on unimportant things.

3. The biggest tell is that when pressured, he reacted by voting for the person who pressured him.

This is a good sign of a newb mafia, I wasn't going to seriously vote for you, but you are solidifying my case. I also pressured orange2, but he acted appropriately.

In this type of game, it's usually best to no lynch on day1, since a mislynch is very costly, but i'll stand by my vote of protoss1 for now.

1. I apologized for what? Editing a post? Making a rookie mistake? Yes, I apologized for both of those. Maybe I should just make four word posts in caps and call it a constructive post?

2. The only "excuse" I have made is that I'm a noob, and that's more of an explanation than anything. I don't even know what you're referring to about "unimportant things" (?). The only thing I mentioned was that your posting style was annoying.

3. Incorrect. Blue1 is the individual who has been pressuring me thus far today, and I did not vote for him. I did not feel pressured by you at all.

What's sad is that the true mafia are sitting back right now laughing hysterically that I'm doing their job for them by not being as experienced in this game as others, it would seem. I urge you not to make a rash decision based off me being talkative and active. There are plenty of others who are flying completely under the radar right now or haven't even talked enough to form an opinion yet.

If I was scum right now I could totally just lay low and fly right under the radar while you guys fight amongst each other. Not a very good start IMO. I think we should be focused on inactive.

No lynch is terrible for town. The only way to kill mafia is to lynch. If we vote no lynch we only have a new day 1 all over again with one less townie.
Also Protoss1 hinting blue in two posts annoys me greatly and I don't see how this can be pro-town. I don't believe people, newbie or not, can be this naive.
