Hi I just died in PTP because apparently I played terrible

I just hope this game will move a bit slower.

This game has 12 players instead of 30 and is a more standard setup. I'd be surprised if it breaks 50 pages, just because there's less to discuss and argue about and less people to discuss and argue with.

Are you going to post a list of different setups like you did for SNMMII or are we left in the dark about that?

More roles on list, many many more variations. I'm going to guess no. This is a more complex setup.

What do you guys think should be a good policy for lurkers? Pressure day 1, or make a note for later while we scumhunt?

I've found that day 1 scumhunting is often very hit and miss, and finding a scummy player day 1 is rare. The earlier we weed out the inactive players, the better off we'll be, I think. I've seen too many games that start off great for town but wimper and die once the active townies are all dead, and all we've got left is lurkers and scum. I'd like to avoid this, If possible.

He's saying that we'd be better off lynching a scummy player and then looking at who defended/pushed for his lynch depending on his flip than we'd be if we just offed a lurker.

At this point, I'm tending to agree. I'm currently planning on putting some pressure on the lurkers early on, then focusing on who's actually scummy when there's more to analyze.

Yeah, but we gain valuable information by looking at who defended who and other connections between players. We're not going to insta lynch whoever pushed for a lynch on a townie, but I'd certainly look into his posting, as would i look into the posting of somebody who hardcore defended scum.

We don't get any of that information if we lynch a lurker with only 2 posts in the thread.

Varpulis, why did you change your mind so quickly after Hesmyrr posted?

I didn't, really. I'd like to eliminate lurkers before we get into the late game so that town doesn't die a painful death like in SNMM II. I was asking you guys the best way you thought to go about that. Hesmyrr's argument made the most sense to me.

If we can't get a reasonable read on scum, lynching a lurker is probably the way to go. I'm just being optimistic, i guess, that we'll have a scum read by the end of day 1, and some discussion about it that we could go back and analyze later.

Here we go.

If you're a Veteran you should claim now. The mafia doesn't have anything to frame or set up our cop, so all we have to do is to check you on night1 and we have a confirmed veteran townie, along with a lot of useful information. The mafia would have to use two nights if they wanted to get rid of him, and it doesn't even provide a target for the roleblocker to stop.

If we only have one claim for a veteran we don't even need to waste a cop night action on the guy. If he looks scummy we can always just lynch him later on. Main thing is that we get a ton of information from a veteran claim.

no. don't claim veteran. We'd like the veterans to absorb mafia night kills. A claimed veteran doesn't really do that. He won't be confirmed anyways unless the cop claims, and we'd eventually wind up with a dead cop.

how exactly does vet claiming give us tons of information?

@prplhz, your post was long and useless. It was a bunch of hypothetical situations and ramblings, ending with "this is not so great a plan."

Don't make long posts that don't need to be so long. It just makes it more difficult to figure out what you're saying, and makes it seem like you're just posing fluff.

OriginalName, read. I said EXAMPLE, because I wanted to explain how scumhunting works to someone who has no clue.
I could have said Palmar dies and then I get suspicious.
Seriously read plz.

yet your example made no sense whatsoever, and is almost entirely WifoM. That's not how scumhunting works. What hesmyrr is doing is how scumhunting works. Analyzing posting and content, not blindly looking at who died and who was talking about them. That can lead you to scum, but does not help identify them.

The argument "he died so she is suspicious" is terrible.

Guys, my vote on mataza is pressure. His posting seemed a little off, and I wanted to see how he reacted to the votes. His reaction so far has been alright, though "go ahead an lynch me" isn't a good attitude. He still needs to step up his posting, but i don't have a read on him yet.

Back to the lurkers! This is stefftasiq's only post this game. He was sleeping when the day post came, I get that, but he hasn't posted again since.

He says that mataza playing differently is "interesting" and that sinani's "have not posted" list (which he was on) could be a way to divert attention from sinani. It's a bad post with very little content.

If you're trying to tunnel Mataza, it isn't really working. You've posted no reasons, yet stated with almost every post that he's scum. I'd rather you contribute meaningfully than tunnel blindly, thanks.

The guy has had 7 posts so far one "hi" post, two posts listing inactive people, two math posts, one posts where he says he's rather lynch lurkers over the scummiest player and then one single post that has any content at all; one where he asks Varpulis if he didn't change his mind rather fast.

7 posts, no content at all. This is a guy desperately trying to be active while desperately not trying to attract any attention at all. This is scum.

##Vote sinani206

Not damning evidence by any means. At least he's sharing his opinion and his reasons why. Does seem a bit sheepy though. Not sure how you came to the conclusion "this is scum" with that analysis.

Frankly, there's not enough information on the table to properly identify scum, i think. You could say that half the players in this game are trying to be active without content. It seems to me that you really wanted to find somebody scummy, so you picked a person and figured out how is posts could be interpreted as scummy.

Lynching an inactive is good and all, but it's better to lynch the one in that group that's the least active, rather than one that's just posting fluff. We can leave them for later.

Actually, I'd appreciate everybody to do that. Pick somebody who you think has been acting scummy, or whose posts aren't town friendly. Give reasons, too. We need to start some actual discussion, and everybody needs to contribute. I'll start.

Currently i'm suspicious of Palmar.
-he made a bad plan early on, then tried to shrug it off as a discussion starter
-he's blindly tunneling Mataza.
-Random unexplained OMGUS vote on Youngminii
-absolutely zero contribution, barring the terrible plan "discussion starter"

He needs to prove to us that he's on our side by making posts that say more than

alright, stefftastiq's at least making an effort now. I'd be interested to see his posts when he's not drunk and tired. Get some rest steff! If you don't contribute tomorrow this vote's right back on you.

It seems that we're out of lurkers. Everybody has at least posted something. Once more time passes we'll see who isn't super active, but for now it's back to pressuring.

Palmar's back and posting well. good. Most of his points make sense to me. Sinani needs to step it up as well. He has 13 posts since the game began, and only 1 with real content, and that was joining the bandwagon on stefftastiq and parroting what the rest of us gave as reasons. My vote ends up on him at the end of today if he doesn't start posting better.

Meanwhile, i found another lurker. Kavdragon has yet to post his opinion about anybody. He advocates lynching lurkers to the extent that we should "focus on lurkers" today instead of pressure and discuss. The only thing going for him is that he shot down the discussion starter vet claim plan.

He said that he won't be lurking, I'd like him to prove it.

Disclaimer: My vote stays on originalname until he shows up or it becomes clear that he's not going to. My next vote will go to the person that i think we should lynch today. I've pressured enough, it's time to be decisive. As of now, I've got a few town reads, a few scum reads, and a couple of null reads. they are as follows:

Town

Varpulis -You think I'd put myself anywhere else?

hesmyrr dementrio -hessmyr was contributing well and being critical before he had to sub out. I hope that dementrio can do the same, because his replacee was quite pro town. Further reads will be tough though, so I'm going to treat him as a new player from this point on.

Mataza -not the best start, but I'm liking his most recent posting. It's logical and straightforward.

JeeJee -Logical, helpful, and critical. His posting gives me town vibes, and I agree with his arguments.

Palmar -retarded posting early, recent posts are good. For now, I'll tentatively call him green, though i'm less confident on him.

Prplhz -town vibe. much like JeeJee, his posting is quite good, except for this one, which is fluff.

Null reads

Unichan
Kavdragon
OriginalName
stefftastiq

Scum

Youngminii -supported a terrible mafia favored plan with terrible logic. References experience but isn't showing strong play. Votes Palmar for an analysis that he doesn't agree with.

Sinani206 -Actively lurking, not providing opinion, posting lists in order to seem like he's contributing.

My vote goes on Sinani at the end of the day if he doesn't step up his posting.

At the Moment most of my opinions from yesterday still stand.

The only really new thing I have to bring to the table is i'm going to push stefftastiq harder as in anycase lynching lurkers now is better than having them at Lylo, and considering this is a mini game this is going to come much much sooner than we want. I highly suggest lynching him today unless he really steps up.

##Vote Stefftastiq

Thanks for the contribution. You know that you're doing exactly what scum would do, right? Hiding behind voting for a lurker instead of discussing who you actually think is scummy.

I'd like a real contribution, please. What do you think of Palmar, Youngminii, myself, or Mataza?

Who do you think is the scummiest player in this game? Even if you want to lynch a lurker, you need to be talking about scum, or else we accomplish nothing today.

Maybe your pressure of the lesser active people in this game would work better if you didn't clearly state that you are not going to press for a lynch and that you are going to vote sinani206 later.

right. I'm not switching my vote until I see content. He's shown up, but he hasn't posted anything of value. My vote stays until he seems less scummy than sinani, which isn't yet the case.

Sinani gets my vote if it becomes clear that a vote on a lurker/somebody else won't accomplish much. Right now, I like my vote where it is.

Why did I vote for Mataza? Pressure. my post

Why did Palmar vote for Mataza? really bad attempt at tunneling. some of his posts

I don't see how that affiliates me with Palmar, especially when I moved on while he was still posting "Mataza is scum" one-liners.

Incorrect. Following my actual analysis on sinani206, I switched my vote to him.

I think youngminii is town, but I can't be sure. I still think Mataza is acting kinda scummy, but sinani feels like the right thing at the moment, we don't need a town accountant to tell us vote scores and keep a list of inactive players.

oops. nvm then.

out of the blue. I can't seem to figure out why exactly he posted that. Curiosity maybe? Has no connection to stefftastiq, or the decision to lynch him, at least that I can see.

Youngminii tried to defend him, but it didn't work at all because the defense sucked and looked scummy in itself.

At this point, he's our best bet. He's been the center of discussion for a while, and looking through what everybody said about him once he flips will be quite useful, regardless of what he flips.

it's interesting how he doesn't have a confident read on three of the higher profile players in this game (Palmar, myself, Youngminii) I'm not sure what to make of that.

his vote on Kavdragon is bad. It accomplishes nothing and just spreads the vote out. There isn't much to discuss right now, it seems.

At this point, I'd be willing to force mafia to waste kp and/or roleblocking to get rid of him. Anybody else? It seems that we're forced into a situation similar to what Palmar suggested earlier...

Plan: Cops check sinani. DON'T CLAIM COP If he's scum, find another way to communicate it. Call his claim under scrutiny later, and analyze his posting to show that he's scum. Claim only if you think you're going to die.

We proceed to lynch OriginalName, for lurking and not posting content. He has joined all the major bandwagons and posted only his opinion of those players that he's voting for, basically just repeating what everybody else is saying.

Thoughts?

sorry guys. Something came up, wasn't there for the last hour. Should've switched my vote, my bad. I'd welcome a cop checking me, as long as I'm not miller (fingers crossed).

There is a difference between accusations and pressure. I was pressuring pretty much everybody, and it was to spread out and sporadic to have any real effect. It's not that I accused everybody of scum. i accused plenty of people of playing poorly, but bad play != scum. Bad play should be rectified, hence all my pressure on players who were lurking/not making sense.

It sucks that sinani flipped town, but in a way it was a good thing. There was plenty of discussion about him, and I think it will be important to see who gave a lackluster "what they said" reason and joined the bandwagon.

I'm cool with accepting that youngminii is town for now. Cops should check me or Palmar, I'd say. I joined the bandwagon on Sinani then didn't change my vote (despite coming up with the plan to mass switch to ON, fail by me) and have been overly aggressive, and Palmar played terribly for half the day until we called him out for it.

I'm leaning town for Palmar, and I know that I'm town, but confirmation would be cool.

Mataza is another possible check, but lower priority.

Sorry was busy moderating XL, didn't have time to write a long post in case I die. Kavdragon's post made a lot of sense to me. OriginalName was one of the lurkers that I pressured with a less than fantastic response. If i die tonight, lynch him.

I'm 100% for a lynch on ON. Right now I'm really regretting that I didn't switch yesterday. I noted his bad posting at the end of day 1, after pressuring him while he was lurking.

Updated reads list before I go to bed


Town

Varpulis -Still town

hesmyrr dementrio -Still treating him as a new player. Still getting a townie vibe

Mataza -flipped green.

JeeJee -Logical, helpful, and critical. His posting gives me town vibes, and I agree with his arguments. no change.

Palmar -retarded posting early, recent posts are good. For now, I'll tentatively call him green, though i'm less confident on him. I still like him. Still not confident.

Kavdragon -Yay, activity. His arguments are logical and he's providing good content. Town.

Null reads

Unichan
stefftastiq
Youngminii -I'm this close to calling him town, but I'm not sure. He gets big points for defending sinani.
prplhz -Slightly more suspicious of him now, mostly because he started the sinani wagon. Will have to look through his posts to deduce if it's just misguided town play or actual scum.

Scum

OriginalName -Joins bandwagons, posts fluff, sheeps, and defends himself terribly. Scum. Will elaborate later

Sinani206 -Actively lurking, not providing opinion, posting lists in order to seem like he's contributing. Dammit. He flipped vet.

Sorry guys, busy day. First, a defense: I spent my early game pressuring. I pressured a lot, probably too much and too spread out. When discussing lurkers, and lurkers only, I suggested lynching the least active. If we're going to lynch an inactive, we should lynch the most inactive.

About Sinani: prplhz seems to think that his analysis was the reason for my vote. It wasn't. sinani played poorly and did not post content until pressured heavily. To me, that was very scummy. Changing one's mind is not a scumtell, as far as I know.

Yes, i was offline for the lynch and forgot to change my vote. It was a mistake. I came up with a plan and didn't follow through. I admit it. That's a bit scummy, I'll agree.

The plan with the cop check was not. It was the only way I could think of to ensure that it wasn't a mafia being clever and tricking us.

Second post about the lynch going up soon.

A page or two back, stefftastiq made a post that I really don't like. My responses in green

OriginalName might be scummy - good points in the posts above - Im still suspicious about youngminiii tho - but he has atleast stepped up.

this is indecisive. He basically says "yeah, he could be scum, but so could that other guy."

About me not having written anything about prplz and dementrio is that Ive felt they have had pretty townish behaviour - Varpulis points out that pprplz started the wagon against sinani, which might be something - altho I was pretty convinced of sinani myself.

I think this is a defense about something, but the last sentence is strange. He states that prplhz starting the bandwagon might be scummy, but might not. again, indecisive.

ill put a pressure vote originalname for now - youngminii still second on my scummylist, what is suspicious is that if scum just "hide" in ON's vote or would they try to find another target if he really is scum?

Bandwagoning counts as pressuring now? Last part is just useless

##Vote: OriginalName


His posts in general are pretty bad. Right now I'm torn between calling him scum, and just calling him a bad townie. It could be either. The post above is making me lean scum, because it's overall too safe and noncommittal. He voted on Youngminii for "pressure,"(weak reasons) right after.

All three of you seem to avoid yourself as a subject - and rather try to push for votes at other players.

Why should I defend myself unnecessarily against bad arguments when I'm not even up for a lynch? My time is better spent finding scum than self reflecting.

Pushing for votes is how mafia is played. I scumhunt, I vote, I push to lynch the person I'm voting for if nobody else thinks that I'm right. If needed, i defend myself.

Did you miss this post? I discuss my actions and defend myself.

Really sorry about my silence, guys. I've had exams all week and am graduating tomorrow, been busier than expected. My schedule clears up after graduation, though, so you can expect activity closer to what I was doing over the weekend.

Waiting to see ON's flip now.
