Here's a tip for mafia, when townies are about to die, just let them die.
Here's Palmar giving his team some sound advice.

Like, I've played 8 mafia games, 5 of them we've lynched scum or 3rd party on day 1. That's far higher than 25%.
Is this just some clever ploy to start a discussion or try to figure out who is going to be the scummy white knight who trashes your plan?
btw, Killing ace day1 is stupid, just lynch him day 2 because the mafia will shoot him if he's not part of their team.
Okay, so he agreed with Ace before anyone else commented, but now that I myself and Jacinto have expressed disinterest in the idea, (and now that non-scum is on the lynch docket...hint hint) suddenly Palmar thinks RL is awful.

##Vote: redFF
100% of your posts are spam so far. Keep it up my friend. I got....well, I just got the one vote...but I got a lot of scowls and at least 10 fingers to point at you sir! Most people haven't even posted at all yet... As for what to do now for the newbies, just post and wait for someone to slip up/look scummy. Also please do not lie, there have been a bunch of games recently where bad townies have lied and screwed over town, so don't lie! LAL is a very extreme policy but it makes sense. I'm not suggesting LAL, but if someone lies then I will personally look at them carefully and trust them a good deal less. We have a lot of new players in this game so i encourage more experienced players to remember that there is a difference between DUMBand SCUM. Too often day 1 lynches end up with some townie getting lynched for trivial reasons when people dont realise the townie is just bad! Holy shit redFF, thanks for giving advice on how to play. Here is a tip: LAL doesn't work unless you actually maintain the illusion that you'll follow through with it. But of course, you want to have an out if at some point someone actually fucks up, so you leave a hole in your policies for bad townies, something you're most certainly going to try and convince us of when one of your scumbuddies gets under pressure Show nested quote +On July 22 2011 11:16 redFF wrote: I've never actually seen or heard of random lynching before, well most day 1 lynches are random but outright saying they are and randomly deciding who is lynched is something i've never seen before, can you link me to a game where a random lynch has been used? It seems pretty dumb to me, because you could hit an active pro-town player just as likely as you could hit a lurking mafia. Why don't you just come flat out and say the plan is terrible? We all know it's not good, the problem is identifying which is more scummy, the idiots supporting the plan or the white knights fighting against it.But I think you're just posting random shit to make yourself look good. #vote redFF
What I'm seeing here is an attempt to discredit redFF by not only condemning his play but voting for him based on it. Note that he's doing what Ace called him out for earlier in the game: speaking for town (see the bolded bit.) RedFF was giving his opinion on the topic at hand, and Palmar jumps his shit about A) a policy that wasn't being discussed and B) giving his opinion on RL. But because he's staying focused on the discussion at-hand, Palmar votes for him. Suspicious?
I also find the bolded suspicious because he specifically identifies who he's going to find suspicious later in the day (very carefully NOT the person who offered up RL as an option and has been defending it, because they're voting for him and THAT could be construed as OMGUS amirite? No, he goes after Dragon later doesn't he? Someone who I'm tunneling and that he's sure I'll still be after later...and then me today)...food for thought.

Ace proposes terrible plan, Jacinto and VE don't like it, DragonReborn actually likes it. Like.. would scum actually take the chance? The lynch isn't really 25% chance because the mafia can co-ordinate their votes, if they so please, so I think what DragonReborn did was stupid, but probably not scummy.
Here's a post where he attempts to backpedal, making himself look better (hopefully) to Ace and Dragon should the wagon swing to someone else.

You agreed with ace's plan. From town perspective it doesn't make any sense, as judging by the sample of games I've played town has more like 50%+ chance of hitting mafia on day one, so if you're town, you should by logic never agree to this plan. But I don't think you'd out yourself as mafia like that... early, so I'm inclined to believe it's bad judgement. redFF however responded in the scummiest way possible to Ace's plan, he was indecisive, tried to appear interested in the plan by asking further questions, when just thinking about the problem would lead you to understand why it's bad. That's why I'm voting for redFF, I think it's pretty obvious that he was avoiding taking a firm stance on it. Don't forget a random lynch is really the worst scenario for town (aside from the fact mafia can stack), and the entire point of the mafia game, is to increase that chance by analysis and logic. So yeah, read red's posts, realize that they don't make sense, given his experience as a player.
Moar attax redFF. This time however, instead of addressing town he's specifically addressing Dragon in his post...saying that 'you're not as scummy as this guy, vote with ME'

Suddenly it's clear from Dragon's posts that he doesn't trust Palmar and that he's going to vote for someone other than Palmar's Pick. Enter this post. This is the beginning of the end of Dragon. Palmar picks up on Dragon's arrogance and exploits it - attacking his playstyle and spamming the thread. I'm guilty of the same at this point, but I thought Dragon was scum. Palmar was sure redFF was scum at this point, and had no reason to enflame the situation.

Anyway, redFF, tell me your thoughts.
Also, pyo, he needs to be shot in the face, if we default to a policy lynch, Pyo is a great one, as he refuses to commit on day 1 when he's "town". So he just self-votes or something.
Throws out random meta to make people suspicious of Pyo based on nothing. Keep reading.

That list was completely uncalled for, making a list like that where he calls everyone town is just his way of trying to make friends as scum.
Why the fuck would you share your town reads as town? I don't really give a shit who he thinks is town, I want to know who he thinks is scum.
Like, I don't even think this is a questionable lynch, that shitty list just screams that he wants to contribute, make friends, but not commit to anything.
Here's some more bringing Pyo meta into this game and threatening to make something of it...if he doesn't get on-board the DR lynch. For shame, Palmar.

This is such a ridiculous post, part of many that Palmar has made that should be looked at seriously. Hold your biases for a second, stop and re-read the thread from the start of the game. You'll notice Palmar has been trying to undermine myself and DR22 on this Random Lynch issue. Not only did he put words in our mouths to make up stuff that wasn't said but he's even taking it a step further and now acting like "The Town" has decided Random Lynching is bad, and is thus Scummy if you support it. Since when did we ever decide that Random Lynching is a Scum move?. We never did. Even worse, how could he take that stance (deciding that "The Town" has made RL scummy) when he posted this: Show nested quote +On July 22 2011 18:34 Palmar wrote: lol, I can see why people say you're good Ace, you somehow convinced half the thread that a random lynch on day 1 is a good idea?

This is such an utterly stupid and absurd statement I don't know how anyone who has ever played a game of Mafia hasn't called him out on it. This quoted post is also another in a long line of Palmar misrepresenting DR's position. As DR asked him: Show nested quote +On July 22 2011 23:57 DragonReborn422 wrote: @Palmar
I've agreed to Ace's plan. Where? Please show me a post that DIRECTLY states we should random lynch. To which Palmar has no response. The same as he can't list who I've convinced to RL. This is typical newbie Scum play. Like I said, just re-read the thread from scratch. There is no way that someone that is BLINDLY tunneling, not even reading other player's posts and purposely misrepresenting their position is likely Town. That's just so many blatant bad moves that he should be lynched. So once again, ## vote Palmar.
Words of the (confirmed town) dead. Take heed. I wish I had.

Show nested quote +From town perspective it doesn't make any sense, as judging by the sample of games I've played town has more like 50%+ chance of hitting mafia on day one, so if you're town, you should by logic never agree to this plan. This is brilliant, from this sentence, Ace pulls two things that simply aren't true. point a) he says I claim to speak for town. This is incorrect, I say this in a general way "Looking at any given mafia game from the perspective of the town players" would've been more accurate, but I assumed that people wouldn't try to twist things that aren't there. and point b) he says that I'm throwing around false facts, again, just not true. If people actually bother to read the sentence, you can see I specifically say "and judging by the 8 games that I have played". Any statistician will tell you the sample size is too small to really mean anything, but it's all I have, so I throw it out there. Feel free to provide more statistics. So, Ace is being guilty of exactly the thing that he has accused me of, namely putting words in people's mouth. Sure, I felt after initially reading the thread that there was more support for the RL plan than there actually was. And I wrote the post on DR without actually checking if he had explicitly suggested we RL, while in truth he had simply said he'd be fine with it. Now, that this is out of the way, I really want people to take a look at the list that DR posted, it really, really is something that strikes me as very odd. And yes town, this is Ace leading a bad lynch, I'm not still sure if it's because he is scum and this is the best thing he could come up with, or if it's because he simply didn't read/understand my posts.
Interestingly, he says that Ace is leading a bad lynch...but Ace wasn't interested enough in coddling us to actually lead us anywhere, so all he was doing was saying who HE'D lynch if he WERE actually leading town. Palmar however, Palmar (tries) leads town wherever he goes. That's just kinda his style. Please note that in his defense, he specifically calls for people to look at DR, the most town defense he can come up with (offering up an alternative instead of just defending himself).

You seem perfectly happy with throwing around weak accusations and then just wobbling along in the thread. That's great, if you're scum, as you don't really have to commit to anything. And as an additional bonus, you make friends! You're basically using the oldest trick in the scumbook, if you tell someone he's town, he's likely to think you're town in turn. You then cast a vote on Trotske, fair enough, as he just proved that the's actively lurking the thread, but where is the follow-up? Why aren't you pushing him to the gallows?

This post rubbed me the wrong way for 1 very important reason. Earlier he called DR scummy because of the list, but for a different reason. THEN it was about how the list included Town reads (and why the FUCK would you post your town reads?)...in this post, his main problem is the number of suspects guy has. Which is it Palmar ? Do you want to hear about his town reads or do you want to hear about his scum reads? He's trying to appeal to ALL kinds of Dragon-haters at this point, making it clear that he's made his choice on who he wants to lynch.
