Explanation. I considered claiming cop even before I knew my alignment or role. If the game revolved heavily around roles like cop or doc it is not always a bad idea to claim cop. You get reactions, and until someone else also claims cop also authority. This gives structure to townplay and will lead to roleblocks or nightkills on you, wasting night actions on a simple townie or maybe even a doc save.
Sounds good on paper.
The disadvantage of course are heavy. Next to nobody thinks of these options and town will most likely push suspicion on you, the real cop will do that the hardest, giving himself away.
That means if town overreacts, you not only miss a lynch but mafia gets a freehit on the real cop at night. It´s highly hypothethical now since it didn´t happen.

My comments on possible mafia behaviour were meant to taunt mafia into activity. Mafia who post heavily are prone to slipping, for example if they mix up real logic with scum logic. It might have worked, we need to analyze specific people to get any of that.

Longer analysis posts coming soon.
If nobody hates you, you´re doing something wrong. However someone hating you doesn´t make you right

First day we are 12, and on day 4 we will be 6. If we never catch a maf, we lose then, because to vote we need to be more than 50% Townies.

I think I overestimated my town

Captain obvious also says:
flamewheel91 is the Town Coach.
Caller is the Mafia Coach.
Qatol is the Neutral Coach.

Asking the very basic questions is spam that doesn´t get us any information, which is anti town behaviour.
I bet you 5 dollar that at least 1 mafia guy will pretend to not understand how the game works, if we keep asking dumb questions. We have Coaches for questions.


After rereading this post, I have a question for Mataza. At the beginning of a game, one starts to think about their goals. Your first act in this game was to count the minimum number of days before mafia wins under optimal circumstances. Why is that?



Mhm, and you've also mentioned the Mafia's purported strategy, which is to stay under the radar. Something you haven't done. If you wanted someone to go off the path of finding the mafia, you would say that the strategy they would perform would be completely opposite to what you were doing. Also, you were the first one to make basic rules to know HE IS THE MAFIA.

I agree, this is off to a good start. there is no reason to suspect anyone right now, as there is very little to go on, so its a little wait and see I agree with VisceraEyes, its important to ask alot of questions. I will want clarifications on posts I find suspicious, and please do the same for me!

What do you think of the whole inactive debate? I think first day we should give them a break, but as they are more and more inactive we may want to infer scummyness. Also, its boring when people don't actually play :-P

I am curious what these various questions. So far I only gathered one:
"Tell us why you´re/you´re not mafia!"

I very well might be mafia, as everyone of you might be mafia too. But I can´t go ahead and tell you my plans before half the people posted, because then these plans wouldn´t work.(Since mafia would know what to do or what not to do.)


About the inactives:
Dependant on the number of inactives, it´s not a bad idea to lynch them.
Low activity means they aren´t really helping the town and therefore it´s not a big loss. We wouldn´t lose any amount of discussion.
But we can´t do that right now, because a) the day isn´t nearly over and b) there are too many.

But people who do not post/do no vote are modkilled at the end of the cycle.


I want you to respond to what I've said. I'll quote everything we've "asked you" right now:

I'm leaning towards Mataza at the moment. I'm not positive yet but just the fact he's defending himself so aggressively and has been caught with a couple of contradictions while blaming others as well. I'm going to be keep looking at his posts but he's my only suspect currently. I'm not saying it's definitely Mataza just the way he's handling himself is very defensive.

Deepblu just posted so I haven't really had a chance to analyse his most recent post, but I'll give it a shot. His first post detailed how he's indeed "active" and he's formulating an opinion. Initially a bit scummy, if he hadn't posted anything, but he has now, so that lowers a bit of his suspicion. Based on his recent entry, he's leaning towards Mataza, based on his defensive stance. Overall, hasen't really produced much content, so I can't really say much about him.


More active people:

Mataza
+ Show Spoiler +

Now, this guy seems a bit scummy to me, PROBABLY the most so far. The reasons have been brought up already:
- He's implying he wants to become A leader of the town (maybe so he can control people? I don't know)
- He is very defensive about his spot, very resilient to abandon anything. I don't know if this means he's mafia, but a person who goes out his way to say he's innocent seems a bit guilty :/
- Mentioned how many days Mafia has to stay alive. Good just be some helpful math.
- HOWEVER after all this, he said he puts himself officially on trial. And he will only answer questions specifically asked at him. This implies he knows he has done wrong and wants to get a bit out of the spotlight. This is most likely because he's tired of constantly defending himself, but it could also be that he's Mafia and wants to sink back in to the shadows. I'm a bit suspicious of him. Also, he's got my name wrong twice now (it's not gigays, or gigas, it's giygas )


VisceraEyes:
+ Show Spoiler +

Got into Mataza as soon as the game begun, might just because he wants activity. The fact he HAS been avoiding questions to attack Mataza some more, which may imply he's trying to avoid them so that he doesn't have any answers. Don't know what I think of him, a bit suspicious.


prplhz (anyone got tricks for this guy's name? )
+ Show Spoiler +

Seems very rational to me. Got some more discussion other then the back and forth between me, Mataza and VisceraEyes. Seems very pro-town to me, but once again, your best friends can sometimes be your worst enemies. I'm not very suspicious of him.


nard
+ Show Spoiler +
Kind of interesting. This guy has posted three times. Once to remind us all that it's too early to start making conclusions about Mataza, one that reminds us all that we have 48 hours before we have to make a decision and to take some time, and finally one that answers some suspicions on his first post, and saying he's not too suspicious of Mataza, and suspicous of me and Viscera (more Viscera). I don't know what this means, but IF we find out that Mataza is indeed a Mafia, I believe this guy is probably a cohort based on his behind-the-scenes support for the guy. I'm a bit suspicious of him.


Palmar:
+ Show Spoiler +

Has mostly mentioned inactives and getting some debate going on that topic. He may just be curious. That said, he was the first one to mention and notice Nard's post on being saying it was difficult to post the first time. Hasen't really added a lot of real content, but I believe he's pro-town. Only the minutest amount of suspicion.

Its true that lurking round is a good place for scum to hide, as there is little evidence to indict them. how ever all but 3 of us have posted and I doubt that ALL of the inactives will be scum...

best bet is a scum has already posted, so we should try to sniff em out! If we don't have a good lead by tomorrow, then we should ask the lurkers to step up and explain themselves...


That's his only post. Unfortunately, we don't get any background info on what country he lives in, so we can't analyse when he'll post. Unfortunate :/ The fact that he did add SOMETHING (scum have probably posted) shows he MIGHT be pro-town in his behavior. Don't know what to think on him due to inactivity.

EDIT: Okay, he just posted another one that added a bit more content, so I moved him down here. Basically listing his suspicions. Seem's a bit more mafia now to be honest based on his bandwagonning to everyone else, but he may just agree with some people.


EDIT: Yes, this is my first time EVER playing mafia, so this is a new experience for me. i'm gonna be interested to see if anything else develops.

EBWOP: the reason for this is that editing allows players to alter the information that the rest of the town can use to analyze you.

For example, Imagine that I'm one of the mafia, and I post a scumlist, then check through the thread again and see that nobody else thinks that Node is scum, If i were allowed to edit, I could delete Node from my scumlist and fit in better with the town, and nobody will be able to point out later that I was suspicious of Node.

Do you understand why we don't allow editing?

Yeah, sorry. What can I do now though? Won't do it again BTW.

Now notice here that I said "Also, you were the first one to make basic rules to know HE IS THE MAFIA". By this, I meant that I was imagining people screaming at each other: "HE LIED LOW HE IS THE MAFIAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" etc etc. When I realized that these words, especially the capital letters, were indeed misunderstood, i made a brief apology. So when if ever, did I CAPSLOCKMAFIA Mata?

I do believe, however, that the correct mafia member is none other than Glygas. Being sly in his ways, he has tricked people to vote against Matiza who he must believe is his biggest threat. Glygas has turned against the two most active players looking to seek justice for the Town in my eyes. He has been accusing people constantly and the time he has defended himself, he just used quotes or responses that were not though out which makes it very hard to find hard evidence.

Scum logic: They will lynch the first accuser, when Mataza flips town. Why should he distance himself now? Because he knows I´m town.

He is still hiding behind Viscera and his reasoning even after Viscera dropped his FoS against me. If he was town I would expect him to come up with his own reasoning and standing up for it.

Also note that he casts suspicion right back at deepblu. The best thing yet, he is scummy because of having suspicions after only writing 2 paragraphs. He then immediately takes it back.
Purpose of that:
None/inflating post length; for town
Inflating post length/casting suspicion on someone; for mafia
Even better, why is having an opinion after 2 paragraphs scummy? Because I said so. I said, often quoted, that laying low is what mafia should do.
Also this is an immediate response to being called mafia by deepblu.





My second point is the question affair. It annoys me to hell.

Lol Karshe. Giygass having done a great job of all people?

I do state the obvious since this is a newbie game. And since the very beginning I had the feeling that some people do not know how this really works.
I also "defend" myself as people are requesting answers for questions that they don´t write. I especially like "various questions". Giygass requests answers for nonsensical questions.
Viscera took what I said and distorted it. His point on me provoking wifom is wrong.
I urge you to reread that.

I will make my cases later in the day. It´s 8 in the morning over here, gotta get busy.


Are you writing my name wrong on purpose. Seriously. On my demanding answers to nonsensical questions, how is asking you:

To which you responded with a link to this thing call WIFOM. And all I could think about at this point in time is then; "Why did you say that in the first place"

Aren´t those 2 very great questions?
Imagine you were asked these. Especially the mafia behaviour question. Would your answer be conclusive for anything?
You might be mafia so why don´t you behave exactly the opposite?
Now if you would ask yourself this question, you would notice it´s not a really good question.
You want hard evidence as town. This is not the least bit hard evidence.
Giygas however takes it very seriously. It is scary to him, very scary indeed.
He assumes it is scary to everyone else. That´s why keeps asking this question.




Third point:
Blatant Blaming

Back @ prp

Who would I lynch? Good question. So far I behaved very provocative without telling much in hope a scum would slip clearly. There might be slips, but they are not obvious. Also it is harder to stay objective when being focussed thern I thought. I can´t say for sure just yet.
But I will begin working on my cases now

Now I mean this as only I tiny bit of suspicion, but wouldn't that also imply: " I need to talk to my scum mates, so I'll get back to you on that one?"

Why not just drop it and just say Mataza is mafia.


My conclusion:

He is talking a lot, quoting a whole lot, but not really thinking a lot. He recycles old posts a lot and. His own post content is chaotic and not getting anywhere. He got very defensive against deepblu, ending with casting a suspicion on him, taking it back and then trying to make a joke at the end.

Giygas is mafia.

Added benefit: Quoting gets a whole lot easier if the person you are quoting does not contain half the thread in any given post.

My vote on Giygas is half cold, hard speculation and half policy lynch. He hurts town with posts that are inconclusive and badly written.

So @Palmar, why exactly do you want to keep him. He knows we are on to him. Even if he is bad mafia he will keep quiet now.
While if he is gone he doesn´t distract us further.

Common sense: Active mafia will try to disrupt town conversation. Bad town might do that as well. Both are bad for town.

I am convinced that Giygas is the best lynch for today.

Hello lynch canididate number 2.

Paraphrased:
"I have a weak excuse. Don´t modkill me."

What is more probable:
"I agree with the guy blaming my partner in crime. That makes me look innocent" or
"I agree with the guy who was suspected the most during the day. I don´t think any of the scummy things he said were scummy, because I like to believe."

If Giygas flips scum, I´d say he is our target for day 2.

I will write my testament at night, after we know the result of todays lynch.
I have a small hitlist already, pretty sure scum are in there.

By the way, the lynchvotes are unstable. I hope we get some votes in the last hours, because if we stay under 3 votes, scum can just all vote on a townie and we waste our lynch.
Hell they don´t even need to all vote. They just need to ensure a mislynch with 1 or 2 votes.

People vote!

If no vote means modkill, this game will be over in 4 hours.

Right now only 4 people voted. You can´t be serious.

I don´t necessarily think trying to control is bad.
As far as I am concerned, there are 3 types of people.
Leaders, who have an opinion and a plan
Players, who have an opinion.
Sheep, who have neither.

Trying to get the situation under control so we can have uncluttered conversations is a good thing.
We should care more about bandwagonjumpers. Namely Giygas and Karshe.
Karshe may have jumped on the bandwagon so late that it passes by unnoticed, but he said he sounded sure Giygas is town and I am mafia.

After he noticed the bandwagon was dead, he instantly dropped suspicion on me and now wants to lynch inactives. By now I am pretty sure that no mafia is inactive, but instead very outspoken.

The hell?
You really think Skrammen is the best lynch? I can´t get my head around how anyone can think that.

Also purples reasoning for that sounds a lot like giygas reasoning.
He has posted only 2 paragraphs and already votes. Sounds eerily familiar to me.
Especially if you consider that Giygas is just voting on some random inactive person and trying not to slip up. He is so silent all of a sudden.

And yet prp agrees to vote some random inactive dude. Wtf?

I said in the beginning of the game mafia should lay low, so they speak up and do mistakes.
It was a taunt and it was intentional. It´s the fear of being catched.

Viscera, I know prp behaves strange and inexplicable right now, but we are at risk that the mafia is able to decide the lynch.

DeepBlu2
Palmar

prplhz
VisceraEyes

Skrammen
Giygas
prplhz

GiygaS
DeepBlu2
Mataza
Skrammen


If I did not mess up counting(I used all my 10 fingers too) a last minute switch to skrammen could cost us the lynch.
You should be aware what could and probably will happen if we spread the votes too thin.

prplhz will be top priority for the cop tonight, if we have a cop, that is.

Who exactly is we?

And I am sure "you" could, you just don´t because it would increase suspicion against "them".

Btw skrammen is voted by karshe prplhz and giygas.

@Viscera,
Change your list. Drop palmar, add Karshe. I was suspicious of him the moment he was sure of giygas being town, but no sure of you.

I dunno, this seems too easy.
Prplhz went from fine to scummy incredibly fast. There might be a slight twist ahead, but luckily we have at least 1 mislynch(unless 4 people are modkilled).

Btw @Hiro

It was kinda hard to not point a finger at someone who pointed at me first.
3 actives, 2-3 half actives, 7 inactives.

The thing is, you can´t really discuss who is mafia with few to nothing to go on. You have to put stress back and see who falters.


Holding out for inactives at this point is pointless. It´s 2 hours to go. I can´t see much changing right now.
At least nothing that makes me think giygas is town, after he began by hiding behind visceras reasoning, without contributing more than 1 original thought.

Karshe, why such an aggressive tone all of a sudden? (!!!)(??)

Nothing is set in stone. Until tomorrow morning you can´t be sure if that´s my actual hitlist. I intended to post it at the end of the night.

I am pretty nervous right now. If Giygas is simply a bad town I am guaranteed day2 lynch. That would be 2 mislynches, putting us in pretty bad shape. It´s nerve wrecking for me. I might lose all cred in 1 hour.

While we are at people flying under the radar.

6. Skrammen
7. stefftastiq
8. DeepBlu2


11. Wunder
12. nard


To me lynching inactives doesn´t look that safe.
Maybe you´re right.

But I, right now, can´t be arsed to care for anything else, since my cred falls and rises with giygas alignment.

Damn sheep.

I am convinced Giygas is the safest lynch. After accusation he had a total change of behaviour.
He never explained why he doesn´t think I am the maf anymore.
And he votes Skrammen.

By that logic alone I am sure, no, even convinced that skrammen will flip town.

Right now 6 people vote Skrammen. It might be ballsy to lynch the 3rd most active person of the first half of day 1.
One doesn´t win by going the safe route all the time. Sooner or later we have to lynch someone "important"

Dammit. Get your own opinion and don´t just recycle one that looks good and safe.
