This should go without saying, but don't post information regarding what you intend to use as a scum tell later on. A good player doing just that warrants a FoS.

Just woke up, read through the thread and have a bad flu so I apologize in advance if my posts are a bit less coherent.

Ok GM, although your plan of shooting lurkers without discrimination has it's pros of eliminating useless townies and forcing scum to contribute more I think your being too hasty and only mention the scenario that townies and scum will be on the lurker lists.

Ever consider the possibility that a blue might be lurking to try and keep their head down?

If your theory of scum wanting lurkers to stay alive is true, wouldn't that be the perfect place for blues to hide?

For that reason I am against your plan of not checking and blindly shooting into the lurker list.

This couldn't be any more clear. We have a requirement to post actively and work pro-town in this game. We actually have a specific mechanic to help us identify the people that aren't actively posting.

Being on the lurker list is not pro-town.

Any town people on the list should really be banned for game-throwing, but aside from that, they should be shot. They should not be DT checked, reserve that for players who actually post but look scummy. And of course medics should already be thinking about their targets, but don't you dare try to direct the medics or I'll hang you.

Take it those who deserve it, if you're town, and you end up on the lurker list, you're trying to lose, you're gamethrowing intentionally, you're ruining the game and I hope I never have to play with you again.

Obviously, this hopefully won't be a problem, because any town trying to win the game will NOT be on the lurker list, and thus the mafia are forced to not be on it either.

All I want for Christmas is an empty lurker list.

Shape up people, get posting.

And GM, even though I agree with you about lynching lurkers, DropBear's question about your OMGUS vote really needs answering. Why the hell should we trust someone who can't even follow his own policies?

Being on the lurker list gives you double the chance to be dt checked, plus double the chance of being vigi'd. What sort of Mafia is going to be stupid enough to be on it? They are already forced to come out into the open. Anyone who IS on the lurker list is in fact MORE likely to be town.

If a blue is lurking to try and keep his head down, he's just being a bad blue. What kind of logic is that? Any blue role out there would do their best to look like a green in order to direct mafia shots away from them.

I seriously hope we don't have blues hoping to hide from the mafia by lurking, cause that's bad. Even if a blue role is important, his opinions, analysis and thoughts are also important.

Of course the mafia isn't going to be there.

But there is no reason for town to be there either. you dig?

After reading Dropbear's post on Henry is anyone Else suspicious of Edward the first?

At the start of the game he is Pretty much forced into talking by Henry which Dropbear picked up on but no one really followed it up. ( I think LSB died a few moments later )

I'm pretty annoying, so I'm going to pressure ##Vote: Sinani201 into being active because I know how much time he spends sitting at his computer and I don't want him to die from lurker KP his first game.

If someone dies from lurker KP, do they get banlisted?


You're already voting for me?

First off, I am not Sinani201. I'm Nisani201.

Second of all, if you want me to make a post, you could have asked nicely.

I don't have anything to contribute yet. I'm reading every single post, and when I feel like I have enough information, I will contribute.

This little exchange confuses me. Why was it necessary to do this? Scumbuddies I wonder, trying to keep each other from being lurker targets? This early matey stuff reminds me of Irish_Punk13 in XXXIX. We all know what alignment he ended up flipping. Voting Edward the 1st.


You're right, the exchange wasn't necessary. But he wanted someone new to talk, and he knew that I was online at the time.


As other people have said the majority of his posts are him stating they are not the same person and the only thing he has truly contributed was outlining a mistake by Chaos Either Alerting his mafia buddies of a possible medic claim or just being stupid

From this, it seems like you are either trying to help the Mafia, or softclaiming medic. Or perhaps trying to help the medic.


Personally Im suspecting Both Edward and Henry due to the amount of Fluff they are producing to keep of that lurker list

Frankly this meta of blues trying to keep their heads down is a silly one. Every good mafia player is aware of the meta and indeed mafia without fails prioritizes hits on players who fit into this category. Further, in this game blues know they've to meet the activity requirements. That is not to say we should shoot blindly, and depending on how many players are on the lurker list tomorrow even role claiming might be a possibility, particularly if there are only 2 or so. We would risk a quick mafia snipe, but at least that would cost mafia KP. Even better, we could wait until mafia has used their hits for the day. Obviously role claiming is a terrible idea if the list is bigger, but I wouldn't expect there to be more than one blue on the list, in which case shooting into the list isn't that risky. We should, however, only target players who are genuinely been worthless and even then we should be very careful as the likelihood of mafia purposely staying lurking in this game is low.

only problem with lynching sinani206 is that the last game I played with him his combo was:

a) post fluff, lists and useless shit
b) claim veteran
c) get lynched.

It's hard to analyse people who we know act super scummy as town anyway.

But sure, he's the best idea so far, let's bandwagon this thing.

Hmm As im already FoSing these two guys I still think 201 may be a more of a pressing target as he has acted most like scum, although I believe both of them are possible scum and if 206 comes up red we will Probably have another shot to take Tommorow. ( See that small pointless engagement at the start of the game )

Hey I have an idea. Let's drop the lurker discussion. RoL in his divine infinite wisdom put mechanics into the game that allow blues to specifically deal with the issue. It would seem to me any further discussion of the issue is an attempt by scum to lure out our dt's and vigis. It serves no other purpose at this point. Would seem to me that's what got LSB shot. Scum took a chance on him being a DT.

Sinani206- Wtf dude? Leaders are scum? You prefer town to be all about flailing arms and pissing contests? Aimless drifting and lynch votes easily influenced by your scumbuddies? Seriously man that's the scummiest assertion so far in this game.

ebwop, what is the chance they are both scum, and they are keeping each other of the list? Its really anti-town but i dont think they are scum. Im not gonna throw my vote at them since i can see how playing with a rl friend can be distracting.

The lurker list is meant to get rid of townies who aren't trying and to encourage activity. Abusing these mechanics in the form of a plan is NOT allowed and any person who tries to purposely get on the list will be excluded from it.

Pro-Town atmosphere would ideally be:

  1. No taking lead.
    Being a "leader" seems really scummy to me. I just have this innate bias that leaders are mafia, and even though there is quite a slim chance of them being scum, if they are, town has already lost.

  2. No spamming.
    As has been mentioned before, all spamming does is derail town. It makes posts hard to find and confuses people so that scum are harder to analyse and pin for what they really are.

  3. Active scumhunting.
    Scumhunting is obviously very pro-town. It gives the town a good discussion point and helps (obviously) find mafia. No reason not to do this.

  4. No lurking.
    Lurking is confusing for all players who aren't lurking. It makes you hard to analyse. Obviously with all the anti-lurking abilities in this game, it isn't much of an issue, but keep this in mind.


That pretty much covers it. If anyone has any additions, feel free to share. Keep all of these points in mind when posting and analyzing.

Off to play some SotIS and then go to sleep. Probably won't check the thread until morning. Good night folks!


So instead of another technical issue or something im going to point the first FoS in the game.

The most spammy player in the game:

Do not do this, Vig you should be targeting who they feel is scum, not anyone that is spammy. First off, scum are not stupid, they won't be spamming up the thread for the sake of spamming the thread. Second, by saying "just shoot anyone that is cluttering up the thread with nonsense" in the thread will obviously signal scum to be very delicate and careful with their posting.

FoS on you for this, it's a very flawed plan, everyone knows what a lurker is and what's not, if someone appears to be spammy and their playstyle lines up with scum then go ahead and shoot them but as soon as you start directing who the Vig should hit publically is when mafia get an advantage.


Also, since lurking is defined by third party judgement, there's a chance that Spammers will also show up on the lurker list, due to quality of posts and actual word count. Shoot who you think is scummy, not who you think is worthless. -_-


Your right, Vigs should hit those who are scummy. Those that are Spamming the thread are acting scummy. I didn't make a plan, I was giving out words of wisdom. Don't twist my words please.

@Wiggles: you remember PTP right? I don't want that to happen with this thread...

talking about lurkers like his live depends on it, i would love it if people stopped mentioning other games without explanation.

The following players I would describe as skilled, or at least very active when playing town:

DropBear

Everyone else I have no experience playing with.

The other guy im keeping an eye on is GMarshal.


/applause. You just shot down all town discussion and missed the major point of the lurker discussion, which is to force people to take stances. For example YM seems to be pretty much in agreement with me, while sand is in opposition, from sand's strong stance and willingness to fight for the spotlight its easy to see he dosn't care if people focus on him, a town trait.

You miss this because you are too busy dismissing it as "spam". I agree that hiro has yet to post anything of substance, yet after bashing talking about a "pro-town atmosphere" you go on to quote a post about the pro-town atmosphere as being one of the best.

I notice you don't actually accuse hiro of being scum though. Care to commit with your vote? Also the cynical tone is typical of mafia players. Its a distancing mechanism, since you feel isolated and threatened. Nice light FoS on me without substance too.

I like how you manage to both belittle all discussion AND start smearing doubt around. This post alone *reeks* of being mafia. I'm not going to be wishywashy about it either.

##Vote: TheAwesomeAll

Quick, expand your FoS on hiro into something larger, something NOT spammy Mr. "This town is all spam"

I must make it clear one more time im afraid
I dont care about lurkers, continuing this pointless discussion is anti town, lycnh/shoot/check who you think is scum
There was no town discussion only a very good opportunity for mafia to blend in. A opportunity you among others seemed to enjoy. You are not a noob man, you know this.

You miss this because you are too busy dismissing it as "spam". I agree that hiro has yet to post anything of substance, yet after bashing talking about a "pro-town atmosphere" you go on to quote a post about the pro-town atmosphere as being one of the best.

I would have LOVED to pick a better quote, believe me, yet there was none. Also there was no real discussion about pre town atmospheres just people ignoring everything that has been said and going for their trademark opening post.
Good you agree with me, what has the second part of that sentence to do with the first part? little bit of panic going on?

  1. No taking lead.
    Being a "leader" seems really scummy to me. I just have this innate bias that leaders are mafia, and even though there is quite a slim chance of them being scum, if they are, town has already lost.

  2. No spamming.
    As has been mentioned before, all spamming does is derail town. It makes posts hard to find and confuses people so that scum are harder to analyse and pin for what they really are.

  3. Active scumhunting.
    Scumhunting is obviously very pro-town. It gives the town a good discussion point and helps (obviously) find mafia. No reason not to do this.

  4. No lurking.
    Lurking is confusing for all players who aren't lurking. It makes you hard to analyse. Obviously with all the anti-lurking abilities in this game, it isn't much of an issue, but keep this in mind.


That pretty much covers it. If anyone has any additions, feel free to share. Keep all of these points in mind when posting and analyzing.

Off to play some SotIS and then go to sleep. Probably won't check the thread until morning. Good night folks!


So instead of another technical issue or something im going to point the first FoS in the game.

The most spammy player in the game:

I am 100% behind Gmarshal about lurkers/trolls. that is all I have to say about that.

so everyone, lets get into it: towns lurker KP should be used once any lurker list is up. As such, I doubt very much that we will need to do a policy lynch on lurkers (which is something I almost always advocate).

Conversely: mafia, with the lurker mod on, will try and be spammy. Vigs, please,please,PLEASE, just shoot anyone that is cluttering up the thread with nonsense.


yeah...

Do not do this, Vig you should be targeting who they feel is scum, not anyone that is spammy. First off, scum are not stupid, they won't be spamming up the thread for the sake of spamming the thread. Second, by saying "just shoot anyone that is cluttering up the thread with nonsense" in the thread will obviously signal scum to be very delicate and careful with their posting.

FoS on you for this, it's a very flawed plan, everyone knows what a lurker is and what's not, if someone appears to be spammy and their playstyle lines up with scum then go ahead and shoot them but as soon as you start directing who the Vig should hit publically is when mafia get an advantage.


Also, since lurking is defined by third party judgement, there's a chance that Spammers will also show up on the lurker list, due to quality of posts and actual word count. Shoot who you think is scummy, not who you think is worthless. -_-


Your right, Vigs should hit those who are scummy. Those that are Spamming the thread are acting scummy. I didn't make a plan, I was giving out words of wisdom. Don't twist my words please.

@Wiggles: you remember PTP right? I don't want that to happen with this thread...

talking about lurkers like his live depends on it, i would love it if people stopped mentioning other games without explanation.

@LSB: What do you have in mind? speaking for myself, I cant think of a way to abuse it because the list is chosen from a 3rd party...

The lurker mechanism is soooooo interesting.

And to top it all of, something that is so ridiculously safe to post

Ok, chaos, he is a list:

GMarshal

~OpZ~
Mr. Wiggles
Kenpachi

these are the most skilled/vets players in this game. Fun fact: GMarshal has never been lynched as town. Another fun fact: Mr. Wiggles has been mafia the last 2 games I played with him.

The following players I would describe as skilled, or at least very active when playing town:

DropBear
Cthsazsa
Mig
sandroba
VisceraEyes
Palmar
Varpulis

Everyone else I have no experience playing with.

a list. A No Information List to be exact. You know the thing noob scum (like me in XL) post. Safe free town cred.



please please please stop the spam

The other guy im keeping an eye on is GMarshal.


/applause. You just shot down all town discussion and missed the major point of the lurker discussion, which is to force people to take stances. For example YM seems to be pretty much in agreement with me, while sand is in opposition, from sand's strong stance and willingness to fight for the spotlight its easy to see he dosn't care if people focus on him, a town trait.

You miss this because you are too busy dismissing it as "spam". I agree that hiro has yet to post anything of substance, yet after bashing talking about a "pro-town atmosphere" you go on to quote a post about the pro-town atmosphere as being one of the best.

I notice you don't actually accuse hiro of being scum though. Care to commit with your vote? Also the cynical tone is typical of mafia players. Its a distancing mechanism, since you feel isolated and threatened. Nice light FoS on me without substance too.

I like how you manage to both belittle all discussion AND start smearing doubt around. This post alone *reeks* of being mafia. I'm not going to be wishywashy about it either.

##Vote: TheAwesomeAll

Quick, expand your FoS on hiro into something larger, something NOT spammy Mr. "This town is all spam"

wow sorry GM did i step on some toes? Please expand more on that discussion, maybe i missed it, who are being accused, what valuable information did we gain? all i saw was spam spam spam, you know that town atmosphere of yours. Except talking about it, what did you do? did you give any points town should follow, did you create any discussion, did you *gasp* make an analysis?

I must have missed all of that, dont expect me to post again untill ive read EVERYTHING 3 times at least,
cya

Edit without edit: it might have been unfair to blame you for the list, it was chaos question. Chaos gave the oportunity for a perfect mafia blend in. Not accusing you just saying it was chaosses fault, since it was an opportunity to post without information, to dissapear from any nasty lurker lists, to seem helpfull without doing anything really.

And yes, why did you vote for me? didnt like the pressure?

A good tactice to discourage anything is to punish the first guy who does it, since no second will come without a first right? Well the first guy to stick his neck out got a vote and the careless fos of the allmighty town leader. Sure as hell makes your case worse

I voted for you because your post was scummy in my eyes. It still is. Sand voted for me like 3 hours ago, but the way he went about accusing me was pretty townie, so I don't suspect him for it.

We are 7 hours in, no I have no analysis. My first 30 or so hours will be spent generating discussion and figuring out who I think is green from their posting. I'll also be figuring out who is mafia or pushing mafia objectives.

Finally the atmosphere seems good to me, no flaming, discussion is proceeding, people are being gentlemanly, right now its good that people are talking. I'm not going to post who I have concluded is town, because I have no interest in painting targets on their back, thank you very much. So far my scum reads are pretty soft, but as more people post I should be able to figure out a nice day 1 candidate. Read, carefully, the thread, a lot of valuable information has been revealed.

For now my vote is staying on you, since I want to see you tick ^_^

Also it is now 4:15 am in my local area so I'm off to sleep. See you all in the morning!

sup bro?

just popping in to say hi, not 100% sober right now so i'll keep it short

the random bandwagon that has formed on sinani206 is nothing short of ridiculous, the arguments against him are completely unfounded and he has barely posted a defence, not that he normally does based on previous games anyway as a townie

only problem with lynching sinani206 is that the last game I played with him his combo was:

a) post fluff, lists and useless shit
b) claim veteran
c) get lynched.

It's hard to analyse people who we know act super scummy as town anyway.

But sure, he's the best idea so far, let's bandwagon this thing.


if i hadn't seen you play in snmmiii i'd say you were 100% scum
but you played exactly like this and it's just the wrong way to go, cease your ridiculousness right now

i am satisfied with hyaach's answer to me more or less, i would now like to suggest a new lynch target

syllogism
he hasn't posted squat worth anything, all he's done is give a pretty damn blanket post regarding the setup
his only real post in this thread is a bunch of "blues you should do this, but then maybe not because of that, but then you should be keeping this in mind... oh and we should avoid wifom"
however, basically everything he has said creates wifom AND he's just lacing the thread with his 'content' posts without any scumhunting whatsoever, just making a post here and there

very suspicious to me, much more so than sinani206

ebwop he essentially made his vote completely worthless, he wants to know my 'tick'. He essentially no one to note him. this, and the chainsaw defense is VERY scummy. He backs of as soon as the discussion gains some heat.

Also to the people hopping on the Sinani bandwagon, why? Really only because he said we should listen to individuals but to reason?? Plz get some dt checks on those people. Especially

Oh okay so the one who has actually posted something of substance is the suspicious one. The one who has given the new and different format some thought rather than post worthless lists and copy pasted "how town should play" guides. Perfect.

My plan for lynch was going to be lynching someone who has posted a lot to avoid being on the lurker list without contributing anything, but unfortunately some players feel the need to post their every single thought, including the fact this is a decent idea if there are no better alternatives present. I even hinted that Dropbear should stop alluding to this plan as it relies on players not actually being aware of it, but he still made another reference.
