Now, obviously this is generalized and after a passthrough of the entire thread. There are others I have my eye on, but they are for different reasons. For day 1 purposes these players have all been extremely unhelpful or detrimental. Of the lot Varpulis has also contributed to constructive discussion so I would be satisifed leaving him alive for another day. Bartundar should also live another day to see if his inactivity will be a day 1 affair or a serious issue. His alignment should be gleaned fairly quickly based on his participation in thread.

Of the group I would suggest we discuss the possibilities of lynching prplhz who has done very little constructive posting. Most of his posts have been sheeping others. He was for anti town ideas, and blindly defends tackstar without any real reason for it, while claiming one of tackstar and sand must be red. No one can know this for sure unless they already knew the role of one of or both of these players.

I will be voting on him until he provides me with a suitable excuse for his shoddy play. If someone else would like to take a closer look at someone else on this list, or nominate another person by all means.

Not usually.

You don't really have to be a dick, guy. I don't know what you're angry about SPECIFICALLY, but I know it doesn't have anything to do with me.


I'm not angry duder. Don't take my posting to be angry unless you see mass caps and me calling you a retarded backwoods faggot or the like.

I find being aggressive as I am a much better way to force people to step up than being nice about it. It also forces players into arguing. That in turn gives information that is used to analyze people. I know I come off as a dick, but if you sit back and look at what I'm doing the reason is pretty clear. It gives town information to work from, as well as helping you learn areas you need improvement in your game. We all have areas to improve, no shame in it.


No, but there's a difference between being aggressive in your posting and just being insulting and rude.

But whatever. Teach me how awful I am, if you think you can.

And if you're alive that long.


You have outright claimed once, and now soft claimed a completely different role. You have an issue with me being insulting yet then proceed to do the exact same thing. You have been very contradictory so far all game.

This is just a bunch of WIFOM. Quite frankly there has been plenty of times for funny day 1 quizzes, there strength is to give people a reason to post in the beginning, with about 12 hours to night post it's not going to bring valuable information.

I fail to see what is so pro town about a guy that just quotes and votes. Quite frankly it would be terrible town play by any measure. He started the Sandroba train and has been awol since.

Also there is the logistics part of this list. Amber has last posted around 1:00 Teamliquid time.
That´s 7 hours ago.
I know you were online at least 5 hours ago in irc and also continuously from 2 hours ago to about 1 hour ago. As from time of this post, you posted the list about 1 hour ago.

Either Amber just came online just a bit before you posted the list, or the list should have been in you pm box for several hours, during which you were online and did not post it.

sigh..Do i really have to explain this to you. My memory is foggy and i really can't be bothered to convert korean times to eastern but ill try to explain.
Last night I pm'd amber with a list of players and asked him to quote the list and wiggle his tail for town and grr for scum. He then quoted a post by gm about zodiac lists, bolded the zodiac list part and then bolded a bunch of player lists. I checked my pm's early this morning before I went out and saw what he did. I got home at like 4:30 today and went on irc, so i've been on irc for about 3 and a half hours...(its 8 now) I pm'd amber for confirmation that he wanted me to post his zodiac list and he wiggled his tail, so i did...Please stop lol.

He apologizes with a foggy memory for things that happened 1-3 hours ago. I would have believe that if he said he was extremely drunk.
Also if Amber answered his PM, it means Amber was online. Why didn´t Amber post even once in the thread?

I do hope Amber will talk again sometime today. Until then I´m assuming Amber can´t talk because of your role power.


On Tackster, I find it hilarious that people actually say he is all over TL posting and spamming. If you check his profile it say 3 posts in the last 7 days. All of which are obviously in this game.
I agree on his low posting quality though. He will probably not make town MVP, but in my book he is an inactive player more than everything else.


I am puzzled by tnkted however. He is taunting us with his invulnerability. [b]Absolute Invulnerability[/b], to be precise.
Strange, but arguing about that is essentially wifom. Town would do that because of a power complex, and scum would do that because it´s a nice bluff.
If he is indeed invulnerable, it would automatically mean he is town and not the mole, because a freaking invulnerable scum would be kinda op.
So no, I don´t think he is invulnerable at all.
If nobody hates you, you´re doing something wrong. However someone hating you doesn´t make you right

If my memory serves me correctly, I played a standard-ish game with redFF in it. He was very forward and direct. He's doing that now, and his role is harmless unless he's trying to contact moles and such. I highly doubt that, that because why would he claim then? redFF, just like kitaman, is not giving me a vibe. And I already stated that tnkted has a peculiar role, but unlike redff, I see no apparent town benefit. I would still rather lynch tnkted rather then anyone on your list, but his role seems very... traceable. I think reasons to lynch him will make themselves apparent via his role if he is scum.

For that reason, I'm going to put my vote on sandroba since amber is giving off town vibes like a radioactive scumhunting puppy. And he can't push sandroba himself so maybe I can assist.

Alright, I have a sugestion to make. Everyone should state which player they designed the role for. We don't know how much KP mafia actually has, so after today things might get confusing. This way we can implement LAL more effectively. I would also like to sugest that any person who claims before having any IMPORTANT (that lead us to scum) info or are very close to being lynched to be policy lynched. Only time it's ok to claim without meeting the above conditions is when town decides it's time to massroleclaim. Failing to claim at mass roleclaim will also result in a policy lynch.

Yes, knowing the pick order doesn't do much to help town, but does a lot to help scum. If town sees that the person they picked for is fake-claiming, they need to use their discretion on what to do. They can call them out on it right away, or maybe the role they gave is very useful for town, and shouldn't be claimed, or the fake claim will draw something the real role would want, like a hit. It's entirely situational, and up to the person who gave the role to know what to do, in what situation. A list of who gave something to who, just lets mafia set up even more confusion, and makes it easier to fake-claim.


That's simple to solve. Town should NOT fake role claim. Period. You either not claim or claim your role right.

For how this plan helps town: After a couple kills/lynches we won't be able to keep track of who knows which players role. If we have a day1 list there's no room for people fake confirming / lying about someone else's role after some time has passed in the thread an no one claimed to know it.
We can also take role claims that cannot be confirmed (perso is dead) with a grain of salt.

Alright every one seems to dislike the first part of my plan, but no one has commented on policy so far. The first part which we claim what player got our role is just to make policy easier.

Either way I say we policy lynch ANYONE who lies about their role. Town has very little reason to lie about their role while mafia has a lot of reasons.
What are you guys' opinions about this?

Alright, as much as I am intrigued by Amber's dog role, that's not leading us nowhere near finding scum. Maybe the person who gave Amber this role will have some info for us down the line.

I think we should focus on putting up BC's list and giving your opinion about policy lynches and LAL. Make your posts concise because this thread is quickly turning into a spam fest.



Now bad ideas can be a common town trait, as no mafia intentionally lays out a bad idea to try to make town follow it. But they will try to give us something to make it seem like contributions. That's often why it's important to look into bad plans, like I did with varpulis. Only varp has been much more active and noticeably has been improving his post content.

Sleeper Cell has revealed that sandroba can be the sly-est of the sly. The guy is not stupid, and I think amber pointed out posts that have thought process flaws. Aside from his plan which he ditched fairly quickly, he grasped onto the policy portition. Policy is for people who can't think and use common sense. Policy is a word for scum who want to add fluff to there posts. Policy policy policy policy. I am so town! Sandroba offends my eyes with his doggedness (woah!) of this policy, and plus it's LAL, which can go suck a lemon.

Amber can I get permission to push this scum for you?


So let me get this straight. Your reasoning for pushing my lynch is the following: You think Amber is town and he's voting for me so I must be scum right? No. So you say bad plans are a town trait but since I've been inactive for some time taking care of rl stuff I must be scum right? No. Also I since believe LAL is good for town and I'm opposed to claiming without info on scum I must be scum right? No. And because I can be the "the sly-est of the sly" when mafia that must mean I'm mafia this game right? Again no.

Your reasoning for pushing my lynch are pretty bad, you try to hide behind Amber for pushing my lynch and as a vet considered to be a very good player you should no better. When the wagon started to form you've gone mia and hasn't posted any opinion after that.

I agree way too little attention has been given to the more experienced players this game. Only one of them I feel I got a solid read on is Node, who has been posting consistently. Amber has been getting away with very little without being questioned, and bum has been on two wagons. These are the hardest players to read, but they are also the players decon knows the best, and is most likely to give special alignments.

I'm most suspicious of Meapak at the moment. He posted a long post to improve thread readability in the start, but has since succumbed to way simpler posting. He asks BC and bum to calm the thread down, but doesn't do it himself. He is eager to answer the quiz questions by visceyes, and even happy to give more reasons later, but quickly changing his mind when it's pointed out it gives scum an easy reason to post.

He is pushing hard for a Tackster lynch, which seems like an easy target considering how hard it can be to keep up with this thread.

Yeesh this thread is ridiculous.

All right, after reading over redFF's posts I think that completely separate from his talk about his role (which is about the only thing that he has talked about for quite awhile) he's been largely useless. At the moment I'm unable to decide whether he's scummy or a bad townie, but I'm leaning towards the latter. So, I'm going to say this: RedFF, for the sake of the thread and the sanity of everyone in it, do more with less posting-wise. This is your only halfway decent post so far this game. I don't necessarily agree with the conclusions you're drawing there, but it at least shows a little effort towards things that actually matter.

I'm going to put my vote on hiro protagonist for now. He's been largely concerned with Amber's posting and role, and has quite a few posts in the thread, but has done nothing helpful for... anybody, really. Even his questioning of Amber was just treading over familiar ground that others had already done. He's threatened to try to lynch anybody that talks to Amber without asking him a question directly (I think? hiro can be hard to understand), but hasn't followed up on that statement. He's just dead weight at this point and until I see him do something solid I'm going to be suspicious.

As of right now the list I have given should be the centered Zodiac list. You have all had your chance to talk about it and as no one has really done so there is the list. Everyone on it will have to be held carefully accountable for their actions. Most of us have a fair number of games behind us to give a decent interpretation of our play as town or mafia. Of this list, a few of us have appeared more town like than others.

Now before everyone goes "sweet dt's dont check here" think again, as you are horribly off.

Watcher or tracker style roles. This is the list you focus on. If we go out, if we get visited you want to know. It gives you the ability to connect dots of who is red and who isnt, who lies and who doesnt as time goes by,

Standard role or alignment style detectives your job is to sweep everyone who isnt on this list. Start with whoever is obviously playing suspectly.

Now, Medics, I will be posting a list closer to day end on what you guys should be doing. As of now there is not enough of a list for us to accurately center you on, nor do I really wish to give mafia a larger amount of time to discuss exactly how to deal with the list.


I'm willing to continue rolling with this.

I agree with the doggy. Chaos13 has been doing a really good job of contributing this far, and I think he's been extremely pro-town.

sandroba, on the other hand, has done nothing since the beginning of the game, where he weakly pushed a plan that involved everybody claiming whose role they had made. He also endorses LAL policy lynches, which, in this setup.... ehhhhh. I won't critique his plans too harshly, but what sets my alarm bells a-ringin' is that he proposed these plans (easy for mafia to do to appear like they're contributing, not to mention the plans were likely doomed to fail anyways) and then promptly failed to do anything else.

This was another of his posts from early in the game. I know it's a small thing, but this post in particular, as early in the game as it was, screams scum to me. Scum love to pile on aggressive pressure without content backing it up in little posts like these.

##Vote sandroba

Also, it sounds silly, but I'm pretty sure Amber is town at this point. He's said a lot with very little and is clearly trying to help us out.

Christ this three-way sandroba / redFF / Jackal catfight is terrible.

I'm going to say this plain and simple:

You guys are contributing nothing. You're inflating the thread with several pages of bitching that is only making it harder to get real scumhunting done. If I had to choose, I would say that none of you or two of you are mafia, and to be honest I don't think any of you are smart enough mafia to get in an endless fight in order to clog up the thread -- the only people that I've seen pull off that style successfully were Ace and Pandain in Insane Mafia 1. The real mafia are likely sitting back, sniping a bit here and there, and laughing at you.

So please, think about what you say before you say it, and try to fit your arguments into concise posts instead of getting into these idiotic, de-railing spats. I'm fine with you being suspicious and arguing, but the way you're doing it won't get us anywhere. Make your case, and then let it be.

I'm going to put my vote on Tackster for now. I agree that his big post is pointless. Plus, it's timing is impeccable, as its position in the thread is such that it can be easily skimmed and ignored without much scrutiny. I'm not sure about sandroba being scum, and I like that he's been posting more. Honestly, at this point I wish he'd shut up a little.




First he calls me out. fine. I respond. Then nothing. Then he jumps on with voting for sandroba. sandroba yells uncle. node moves on. next up, Tackster. and thats where he sits. recently he called Prplhz scummy. ALL of these have been easy targets, given the state of the thread. All but sandroba (who he has started defending) have something in common: new or otherwise bad posters. node claims he his FoSing them to get them to shape up. This could be true. It could also be a way of slipping a bad townie up, in hopes that there reaction will be noticed by others as scummy, in hopes of an easy lynch.

This is not to say I am voting for node. I just wanted everyone know how I feel about him. I dont have much of a scum read on anyone else (with the exception of Meapak_Ziphh, which I will go into later)

I am curious as to who BC has in mind for a lynch.


These are silly reasons to think that I'm scum, and if you think about it for a few minutes you'll realize that they're silly. (ask yourself: what part of my play thus far has actually benefited the mafia?)

All right, after reading over redFF's posts I think that completely separate from his talk about his role (which is about the only thing that he has talked about for quite awhile) he's been largely useless. At the moment I'm unable to decide whether he's scummy or a bad townie, but I'm leaning towards the latter. So, I'm going to say this: RedFF, for the sake of the thread and the sanity of everyone in it, do more with less posting-wise. This is your only halfway decent post so far this game. I don't necessarily agree with the conclusions you're drawing there, but it at least shows a little effort towards things that actually matter.

I'm going to put my vote on hiro protagonist for now. He's been largely concerned with Amber's posting and role, and has quite a few posts in the thread, but has done nothing helpful for... anybody, really. Even his questioning of Amber was just treading over familiar ground that others had already done. He's threatened to try to lynch anybody that talks to Amber without asking him a question directly (I think? hiro can be hard to understand), but hasn't followed up on that statement. He's just dead weight at this point and until I see him do something solid I'm going to be suspicious.

As of right now the list I have given should be the centered Zodiac list. You have all had your chance to talk about it and as no one has really done so there is the list. Everyone on it will have to be held carefully accountable for their actions. Most of us have a fair number of games behind us to give a decent interpretation of our play as town or mafia. Of this list, a few of us have appeared more town like than others.

Now before everyone goes "sweet dt's dont check here" think again, as you are horribly off.

Watcher or tracker style roles. This is the list you focus on. If we go out, if we get visited you want to know. It gives you the ability to connect dots of who is red and who isnt, who lies and who doesnt as time goes by,

Standard role or alignment style detectives your job is to sweep everyone who isnt on this list. Start with whoever is obviously playing suspectly.

Now, Medics, I will be posting a list closer to day end on what you guys should be doing. As of now there is not enough of a list for us to accurately center you on, nor do I really wish to give mafia a larger amount of time to discuss exactly how to deal with the list.


I'm willing to continue rolling with this.

I agree with the doggy. Chaos13 has been doing a really good job of contributing this far, and I think he's been extremely pro-town.

sandroba, on the other hand, has done nothing since the beginning of the game, where he weakly pushed a plan that involved everybody claiming whose role they had made. He also endorses LAL policy lynches, which, in this setup.... ehhhhh. I won't critique his plans too harshly, but what sets my alarm bells a-ringin' is that he proposed these plans (easy for mafia to do to appear like they're contributing, not to mention the plans were likely doomed to fail anyways) and then promptly failed to do anything else.

Hey Mataza, you are kinda making a big deal out of this, aren't you? Starting to sweat under this little pressure, huh?


This was another of his posts from early in the game. I know it's a small thing, but this post in particular, as early in the game as it was, screams scum to me. Scum love to pile on aggressive pressure without content backing it up in little posts like these.

##Vote sandroba

Also, it sounds silly, but I'm pretty sure Amber is town at this point. He's said a lot with very little and is clearly trying to help us out.

Christ this three-way sandroba / redFF / Jackal catfight is terrible.

I'm going to say this plain and simple:

You guys are contributing nothing. You're inflating the thread with several pages of bitching that is only making it harder to get real scumhunting done. If I had to choose, I would say that none of you or two of you are mafia, and to be honest I don't think any of you are smart enough mafia to get in an endless fight in order to clog up the thread -- the only people that I've seen pull off that style successfully were Ace and Pandain in Insane Mafia 1. The real mafia are likely sitting back, sniping a bit here and there, and laughing at you.

So please, think about what you say before you say it, and try to fit your arguments into concise posts instead of getting into these idiotic, de-railing spats. I'm fine with you being suspicious and arguing, but the way you're doing it won't get us anywhere. Make your case, and then let it be.

I'm going to put my vote on Tackster for now. I agree that his big post is pointless. Plus, it's timing is impeccable, as its position in the thread is such that it can be easily skimmed and ignored without much scrutiny. I'm not sure about sandroba being scum, and I like that he's been posting more. Honestly, at this point I wish he'd shut up a little.




First he calls me out. fine. I respond. Then nothing. Then he jumps on with voting for sandroba. sandroba yells uncle. node moves on. next up, Tackster. and thats where he sits. recently he called Prplhz scummy. ALL of these have been easy targets, given the state of the thread. All but sandroba (who he has started defending) have something in common: new or otherwise bad posters. node claims he his FoSing them to get them to shape up. This could be true. It could also be a way of slipping a bad townie up, in hopes that there reaction will be noticed by others as scummy, in hopes of an easy lynch.

This is not to say I am voting for node. I just wanted everyone know how I feel about him. I dont have much of a scum read on anyone else (with the exception of Meapak_Ziphh, which I will go into later)

I am curious as to who BC has in mind for a lynch.


These are silly reasons to think that I'm scum, and if you think about it for a few minutes you'll realize that they're silly. (ask yourself: what part of my play thus far has actually benefited the mafia?)


The part where you blend in as town. It gives you influence. come on now, there are sheep all around these parts, and you don't think the Mafia is gonna send in a wolf?

If not you, then who?

OK tnkted - I might be overeager, I might be noob but I can clearly see the contradictions in your posts (yeah, I am reading them) - If you read my post you would also see that I actually asked about feedback from the older, pro players which it seems can do anything they want - you shut my post down with calling it overeager and bad analysis - may I ask, why was it bad?

Im including a few more quotes - it might clear up something to someone?


This is your last claim - you have super role - guaranteed place in the lategame! ok!

And everyone, take your votes off me, they're wasted. I'm guarrenteed (via role) to be in the lategame, so forgive me if I don't waste my time on bad analysis by overeager players on day 1. Votes are better spent somewhere else, and bullets are better spent on other players.


And here you do it again
As for the tunnelling thing: You clearly didn't read my post very closely. I am immune to pressure in this game. I don't give a flying fuck if you vote for me, its going to do nothing but waste your vote. I won't say anything else about my role, but I'm sure somebody will be able to figure it out.


But this sir, was your shoutout to the noobies -

Now, since we have a bunch of noobies in the game, I'll say something I always say to noobies: Be suspicious of people that appeal to their reputation. By this I mean that if you got bumatlarge telling you to drop your line of inquiry because he's the fucking batman, you should be more suspicious, not less.



Following your orders sir.

You might be scum, you might be town, you might be batman for all I know - but you made absolutely no effort to either say what I could have been doing better in my overagerposting - nor did you say what I did wrong - it was a plain and simple "shut down" of the post - which you have done several times with other posts as well - thats not town friendly at all.

Varpulis, who tried to alter the plan is then jumped on next. He decides to "withdraw" and is immediately jumped on by kita and Palmar. Their plans might not be good ones but it doesn't make them Mafia. They are just trying to help, if poorly. Redtooth in XXXIX was an example of that. Their contributions are much larger than several players so far, even if they have gone quiet recently.


Yo bro, I just gotta clarify this shit. I aint voting on Varpulis based on his plan, everyone can make a bad plan man.

If you actually bothered to read my analysis, I'm voting for him on blatant personality change from his last game.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=227186&currentpage=23#455

get yo facts strait bro, I only mention the plan as supplemental to my analysis, the main reason that bitch gonna get hanged is he's acting like a pussy.

Let's see it done fellas

#Fistpound DropBear

First of all man, sorry but I'm not going to return your offer. I am worried about what it would do.

Look at the rest of my post. It wasn't just Sandroba who was jumped on for offering a bad plan, Varpulis was as well. I'm liking the effort that you are putting in but I'm not convinced. Varpulis has been still very active and doing his best. He got timid briefly after being told he was playing poorly, so what? He's back to his normal self again now.

I would put a lot of money on both Sandroba and Varpulis being town.


Wiggles, what? I have to say that I strongly disagree. You are worrying me, you just seem to be jumping on the bandwagon.

4.) Of all the players with more than ten posts in the game at the moment, which seem the scummiest?

4)
10. kitaman27 acting like he was in XXXIX, where he was Mafia
12. Tackster useless theorycrafting
14. tnkted like i said above, useless
25. Torte de Lini so many posts elsewhere on TL. a purposeful lurker

Nice to know that somebody agrees.
I still think kita is dodgy as hell, if one of these others comes up as a candidate I will gladly switch to them.

O.K now Mataza has soft-defended both Tackster and Varpulis. He has not contributed anything so far. Mataza if you actually read my post i wasn't sure what time everything happened but what I said makes sense if you actually read it. Because of that soft-defend of tackster im happy for him to be lynched.
Scum reads-
Tackster
Mataza
Varpulis(not sure, his posting has improved)

and now i'm off be back in like 6 hours :D

Ok more on Mataza, because I feel he is being largely ignored. He hasn't contributed at all, all his posts are textbook scum trying to blend in. He just soft-defended Tackster, who most of you think is scum.
He also voted me because Amber hasn't confirmed his zodiac list, and that has been all Mataza has posted about before then. This vote goes directly against what he said earlier about his vote meaning something and how he only intended to vote once. If you are going to talk like that then you surely can't place a vote with as little reasoning and thought than the one you put on me. You're making obvious contradictions and contributing nothing.
Mataza is scum!

Okay, I've got a survey.

1) Which do you consider to be more scummy; Active Lurking or Thread Derailment?

2) During the night, who do you think is going to be a top-priority target for Mafia?

3) Given the opportunity to Bro-fist Palmar, would you do it?

4) Between GM, Node and BC, who do you think has the most town cred based on this thread alone?

5) Between GM, Node and BC, who do you think controls the opinions of others the most?

6) Between Palmar's frattiness and red's Masonry, who's role do you find the most interesting based on information you have now?

7) Assuming you had the entire town's ear and you know everyone would believe you, what do you want to say FIRST?

If anyone doesn't feel comfortable answering my inane questions, feel free to ignore them. Everyone else, take note of who doesn't want to answer my inane questions.

You suggested lynching/killing BC because he is "Leader of Town",nice try but Incog played EXACTLY same style in PYPI,where I tried to get him killed as Mafia. When someone plays an important role in Town's mind they'll stay there and every slip is going to be caught.
That survey is shit. "Hey guys I am Mafia and I need some help who to kill and how to behave"
Nope.
You went downhill Viscera.
As I thought nobody is going to lynch bum,not even kita.

Wiggles "Don't worry bros,I will come in,vote on the guy the bandwagon is forming,he is the most safest vote,You know."
I will keep eye on You,Wiggles,this and BC's point about You derailing the thread makes me really suspicious,so take this as a warning ##Vote:Mr.Wiggles

BC,Prp's case is a bit fishy,I agree.Though we can't do anything about him now,because he is just a coward,I mean,he does not want go get lynched for the same reasons Tackster would.
I'd like to point out the change in Barundar's meta - in PYPI he was NEARLY lynched for being aggressive,insanely pro-town and such,now he is making opinions,though trying to stay low. This gives some town vibes in my opinion,he is playing safe,because he know how can it end.

Sand gives me a lot of town vibes also. He is really emotional in his posts and want US to believe him,sign of desperate townie (just like me in XXXIX)
BloodyCobbler is my best bet for townie right now,if we've got any medics get ready to work during the night,this might get ugly.

I dislike how Mataza did not respond to my questions. Are You scared?
You told me and Bum to stop arguing,disappeared.

Tnkted case is simple : alignment check him,easy as that.

I still believe there's a connection between bum and kitaman,so with redff and amber. While the first case is scum in my opinion,the second sounds more town,though "I need to vote to talk" thing might be easily used to avoid being suspected,because You don't need to jump on a bandwagon as scum.
I agree we should take a main suspect ,because in PYPI there were 3 (6 votes,6 votes,7 votes as far I remember) every was townie,giving mafia EAAAAAASY lynch.
I am sorry for being spammy and stuff,that's kind of my playstyle.
