I really like the atmosphere chaoser and DropBear are setting up. This is a good way to start the game, with plenty of productive discussion going on and not too much other crap. | ||

A dictator always targets the means of communication: the media, the internet, etc. Yes. Does that mean we should all lurk? No. If everybody discusses in a productive way, mafia will have trouble blending in and providing the same level of constructive input, and suddenly those extremely pro-town players don't become such high profile targets, because everyone is joining in to an equal degree. | ||

The "pro town" stuff that Navillus has been saying has been said, in some variation, many times before, by both town and scum. a post doesn't have to be huge to make a point. Please be concise, everybody. There are plenty of posts in here to analyze, and basic guidelines and stuff often give you good material to look over. Remember that town want a pro-town atmosphere, and scum want the opposite. Check over, see if you can find a player trying to appear pro-town but pushing a mafia agenda. Your excuse for not posting is that you came late to the game? That's pathetic. That's using your lack of activity as an excuse for your lack of activity. Granted, I do kinda like the way you threw that last line on to try to gain some town cred. | ||

I know you like to speak in short absolutes but for the rest of us that don't see your brilliant Icelandic logic, we need help. chaos what's your opinion on Jackal? Palmar is just trolling/tunneling atm. I don't think he's going to provide anything more than what he has, so we can pretty much just ignore him until he does. No posts of Jackal's stand out to me right now. To be honest I didn't even realize he was playing this game until you made that post. Ask me later when he's posted more and I've had some more time to catch up on my reading the thread. | ||

In no way am I suggesting that they are Mafia, nor was it implied when I quoted them to you. What do you mean by honesty? I didn't say anything that could potentially have been a lie? I asked questions and made suggestions, they aren't truthful or not. This makes no sense??? I don't understand your problem with me Palmar. If you are so quick to make up your mind off one post, an introduction to the game, then I sure as hell hope GMarshal didn't give you a gun. The bolded is probably the scummiest thing about DB at the moment. You say that as if Palmar is confirmed town "I hope you didn't land vigi..." Any explanation for this? People keep complaining that the thread is disorganized and nothing proper is getting done. Who started all that? Palmar. Palmar as town is The Brother Leader and Guide of Town. I see absolutely none of that here. So far all he has done is cause mayhem and spam and disorganization and a generally very unhelpful pro-mafia atmosphere. In other words, that stops right fucking now. WE NEED TO BE ORGANIZED FOR THIS GAME TO WORK No lynches are very possible if we keep dicking around the way we have been, and no-lynches gain mafia a free night kill. So here's the deal. If you're going to vote someone, you explain why. Clearly. If you're going to accuse someone of being scum, you explain why you think they are mafia. Clearly. Any other behavior is anti-town and leads to spam and confusion. Let's cut out the spam, cut out the votes without explanation, cut out the troll posts, and cut out the one-liner arguments. My vote goes on the player who led town right into this shitstorm. ##Vote: Palmar | ||

Palmar: You're better than this. Your play has NOT been good, you haven't provided ANYTHING aside from your weak case against DB, and admittedly I haven't read your case against BB yet (I'm working on it). The fact that you're using that as a reason to rage when everyone here knows you're better than that makes me very suspicious. Finally somebody smart gets in here. I can't believe people let Palmar away so easily. | ||

Guardian Angel (Medic) - one of the holy forces sent by heaven to keep the cultists from getting their hands on the shrike, you are an angel in mortal form. Every night you may watch over a player, and if they would be hit you raise a sheild of righteous fury around them, protecting them from death. You only protect from one kp. If you successfuly protect someone both you and your target will be informed. If you said you had one life left you were probably scum, since there was no way you would be double stacked at this point in the game (I think) | ||

Then Jackal points out the role description in which it clearly states that a RB + hit on a veteran will kill them. Then you softclaim veteran by the nature of your response to him. Then you absolutely refuse to confirm this soft claim, but shortly after have no problem confirming that it was actually a medic save rather than a vet's extra life. This whole hesitation just says scum to me, but maybe I'm the only one thinking it. Shortly after this we get into an interesting exchange with chaoser, Mig, and Foolishness. On August 22 2011 14:02 chaoser wrote: There is only conjecture as to who would hit you and also block you at the same time. This only matters, of course, if you're telling the truth. I've seen mafia claim to be roleblocked when they really haven't been, I really wouldn't put it pass mafia to claim they were also hit, especially if it's you who is claiming to be blocked. I'll have to sleep on this. That being said, mig, I have a question: you said that to foolishness about him using meta to place suspicions against you but then you turn around and post this: and yet have not provided examples of me acting the way I did as mafia. A bit hypocritical don't you think? What's with the flip flopping on stances? On one hand, you don't accept meta when it's against you, but on the other you use it freely against others? And to foolishness, mig seems like the one you are most suspicious of, and yet instead of voting for him and pushing hard, you backed off with a "I wouldn't mind lynching mig" followed by a "rayzorflash is an outstanding issue as well" When I was mafia in XXXVII I basically posted just that about a teammate and this was noted by Ver as something that mafia would do. Why aren't you pushing harder on mig? This is really a rather empty post. Look at it. What information does he actually bring to the table? He questions Foolishness' claim, points out a contradiction in Mig's posts, and questions Foolishness again. All of this ends with a vote on Mig that happens a few posts later, but...it's not an analysis on Mig. The majority of it is pushing Foolishness rather than Mig. On August 22 2011 14:40 Foolishness wrote: It's because I'm not sure what to make of the night events. I got roleblocked and shot. That's not something most people would do. Either way you got some pretty damning evidence against Mig there. ##Vote Mig And then holy shit did this just happen? His "damning evidence" was Mig having a different approach to analyzing a different situation. That's real scummy right there, Mig must be mafia for sure. In other words, I would expect waaay more from you Foolish. On August 22 2011 17:51 Mig wrote: Chaoser you are technically correct but really you are twisting my words around to try and make me appear scummy. Not all meta arguments are the same, you didn't see me disagreeing with other meta arguments foolish had made in the thread. But his meta argument about how my "attitude" was different and therefore mafia was incorrect. He provided no examples of me acting that way as mafia and that attitude hadn't done anything to hurt the town. My meta argument against you was completely different. As town I have seen you dominate and put a ton of effort into scum hunting. This game I see you writing complete fluff posts and providing no analysis while making an excuse for being busy. Anyone can look at your play in mafia 39 and see how different it is compared to this game. Foolishness' meta argument didn't show one way or the other whether I was town and it didn't show how I was harming the town with my play however your play style is a complete 180 from your normal town play and is considerably worse than normal for you. So instead of providing any real analysis this game you started off with A) writing fluff posts B) voted for me basically just saying yea I agree with foolish then disappeared before the lynch and now C) you are twisting my words around to make me appear scummy when it should be obvious how different my argument was from the one foolish made. #Vote: chaoser Here we've got an OMGUS from Mig, although what I feel is a justified one. His defense, just like chaoser's original accusation, feels false to me. I'm really not seeing anything genuine here. Mig as a player has a tendency to become very involved in the game, actively scumhunting, leading people, and basically taking control. This is such a passive defense, and is weak for such a strong player. I don't see much substance to it. This isn't an accusation of Mig, I just want to see if anyone else felt the same way about this post as I did. In summary: Foolish makes scummy half-claim chaoser votes for Mig based on a post that accused Foolish more than Mig Foolish votes Mig on chaoser's "damning evidence" Mig votes chaoser This whole sequence of events is weird. All three of these guys are good players. Why are so many strange posts coming from all three of them within such a short time? Right now, these three (and Palmar, but I'll leave you alone for today I think) are my biggest suspects, and I think Foolishness is most likely to be scum out of them. ##Vote: Foolishness And then something I feel needs to be tagged on the end here: On August 22 2011 17:53 Palmar wrote:*lurks* Oh look, it's Palmar! Was this a useful post? No. Was it necessary? No. So unless you're actually going to contribute something, please keep your posts to yourself. | ||

I kept my vote on Palmar because I felt he was scum. You'll notice I posted that I was switching to Rayzor because I didn't want to see sevryn lynched, but we had a power outage as I was going to put it in the voting thread. I'm not usually very active on D1, but I get more involved as the game goes on and I have an easier time keeping track of things. What's your opinion towards RayzorFlash? After filtering his posts and reading through them, I think he's probably town. Since he's a new player, if he ended up getting mafia he would probably have a very nervous disposition. From what I can see he's confident, and explains all his actions/ideas. How do you think about the fact that our Vigilante accused xtfftc and died night1. What do you think about xtfftc? At the beginning of the game I had a town read on him. At the moment I'm not so sure. I imagine the reason Quicksilver died was because he was doing really, really good. His posts were pro-town and more reasonable than anyone elses. I highly doubt it was a blue snipe or because he was onto someone. this attack on Foolishness is completely unnecessary. Foolishness has been absolutely not scummy until the point when he got shot. If I were a medic, he would have been one of the persons I would have considered to protect. Moreover I understand Foolishness vote on mig but I don't agree. If I think he's scum, I'll attack him. Deal with it. As I said before, we should focus RayzorFlash right now. If he's guilty, we got a lot of informations about all the people that were afk during the end of day1. | ||

VE I think you should reconsider your vote on palmar. Right now xtfftc and Brownbear stand out to me; I can't really put a definite finger on either but I need to do some more reading and analyzing (on a computer, not an iPhone lol) I would suggest also that you guys all remember Trotske and Vain. Some of the names from day 1 are being forgotten because of this hardcore tunneling going on. VE I think you're tunnelling too hard on Palmar and are missing other valuable leads we have right now. I say this based off what I read by filtering your posts. Last things I wish to add/reiterate: I feel like Foolish is town, and he's usually a valuable source of information. If we get confirmation that he was lying about last night then we need to reconsider our stance about him being town. So far, other than the hit claim, foolish has done nothing to stand out, and so I'm inclined to say that he is town. Palmar is most likely town as well in my opinion. Yeah, he's been tunnelling BB but I think it's rather warranted. BB's vote yesterday was rather scummy, and the post he made about semiactives had the feel of a nontown agenda. He tried throwing some suspicion on "semiactives" and listed 3-4 names, of which were JeeJee, hiro, myself, and Foolish. Well damn, he sure thinks Palmar is town. Why does he post this shortly after then? On August 23 2011 01:19 wherebugsgo wrote: Upon rereading palmar's posts, I lean toward town. Palmar was never a proponent of the Sevryn lynch and he made several good (IMO) posts on how it matters not what a person thinks another's alignment is, but the WAY in which they propose their arguments. In this sense, I agree; the manner in which someone responds or posts is actually more important in order to determine their alignment than what they are literally saying. You seemed way more convinced of his townieness earlier before you'd read his posts, but you provide other reasons for why he is town.. This just doesn't make sense to me. If wherebugsgo is scum, Palmar probably is as well. But when I filter his posts I really don't get a strong read on him either way. Can I get some external input on him please? | ||

Vigilantes, whatever you do, do not listen to this. Unless you're an amazing scumhunter (there's a few of you out there, so if you're one of them feel free) you are more likely to hit town. Then you have not only eliminated a townie, you have eliminated an actively contributing townie, which is BAD. If you feel compelled to shoot, hit lurkers. Even better, hit a scummy lurker.

In summary, Mig has not contributed to nearly his usual level, he is apparently "burned out" from mafia but is willing to post actively when he is being voted on, and if you'll read Foolishness' wall of text you'll see a brilliant little voting strategy that confirms Mig's scumminess. Mig as town is extremely helpful, extremely active, and extremely good at scumhunting. With 4 kills last night we really need to be on the ball today. ##Vote: Mig | ||

Palmar first. I just grabbed the summary of it because you can easily see from it that most of his points are no longer relevant.

Pushing Mig pretty hard today, and I'm getting my other suspects known and analyzed as well. This is common for my play.

And normally chaos is a very logical player. But look at how wrong all of his reasoning has been this game. And I mean would town chaos really freak out and immediately omgus jackal/palmar/myself for voting him? It seemed like a panicked overreaction when normally as town chaos is very level headed. If that weren't enough look at palmar's very good analysis of him here http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=254174¤tpage=66#1311 One last thing. Why did jackal die last night? Was anyone else getting blue vibes from him? I wasn't. Had he been especially active or provided any strong analysis? No. So why was he shot instead of someone like Curu or you barundar? Jackal was convinced chaos was scum and 100% would have followed along with palmar's plan to lynch chaos today. Pretty good motivation to kill someone. I am hunting you down chaos! You say that my reasoning is wrong and illogical. Okay. How does that mean I'm scum? I've ended up being really busy this week, unfortunately. I'm also not very good at wading through the mess of the first day or two and figuring things out. Rather than just stating that my reasoning is poor, I would like you to explain exactly how it proves me to be mafia. Town can have off games too, and not be as good at analyzing. What would mafia have to lose from killing Jackal? The medics were focused on Foolishness (hopefully) so they had a good chance of getting a proper kill on Jackal. He's also a strong player, and it provided a perfect opportunity for one of the townies suspicious of me, or a mafia member to frame me and cast me in a suspicious light for it. What do you say Mig? Will you actually go into some detail in your analysis, or will you just leave it at blanket statements? | ||

Concerning you/chaoser/foolish, I explained why I felt you guys were scummy. Then I went to bed, which is why I disappeared. Cast doubt on the only players doing analysis? That is a blatant lie and I am very unimpressed that you just tried to use it in a case against me. If you really think it's true, then go back through this entire thread and make a list of every single time a player has made an analysis. Spoiler that list. Then filter my posts and quote every time that I accuse one of them or cast doubt on them for doing analysis. If I accuse every single player who has done analysis in this game, then you are correct. Your accusation of me is flimsy to begin with, and you just broke it in half with that statement. Yeah, I've got one or two original things against you. Check out this post, which you can read near the top of page 81. "Mig, if only you put as much effort into scumhunting as you did into defending yourself, we probably would have won this game already. About 90% of your defense on the past page and a half consists of some variation of "What? Your analysis is wrong, how could you even think that. chaos13 is scum." You fail to properly address any of the points against you, and you fail to convince me that you are not mafia." Nobody else had picked up on that yet. It's not a lot, I know, but it's more evidence for me to feel comfortable with lynching you. There's no point in me repeating the same things that everybody has said. Now until you actually explain how my actions have been scummy, I'm going to quit responding to you, because all we're doing is cluttering up the thread. If you truly feel that I am mafia and worthy of a lynch, then use my posts as evidence. Go into detail. This post was getting better, but it was still weak. I know from playing games with you as town that you really know how to dig into a player's posts, and I haven't seen any of that happening. | ||

Even if we lynch mafia every day after, they will still kill us. Granted, this is not including vets/docs/vigi's, so depending on how many of those/how accurate they are we have a slight chance if Mig actually flips blue. | ||

I wanted to bring this information up yesterday but the timing never came, especially after Mig claimed. It should be clear why I had everyone write up what they thought about those 3 people. Make sure to look at the people who didn't respond to that (there are a few who did, and they are all on my suspect list). Kill nard today so that the mafia will have their KP reduced. Mafia list: nard, BrownBear, Barundar, Pyo, RayzorFlash. If one of those flip green then Erandorr. Forgot about Barundar. Vain, Viscera, Barundar, Nard are my top four atm. | ||

I HAD to check foolishness (GM didn't allow me to check myself) since I didn't know my own sanity and since I was 90% sure he was townie because DropBear claimed he saved him. What about you? You were so dead set on a Vain lynch before: and now you're backing off. Cause nard is more confirmed scum than Vain. This should be quite obvious. | ||

If nard visited a person who died, he's almost certainly mafia. This is, of course, has to be what Foolish was saying, because he was a watcher and he was 100% sure nard is mafia. Now, the thing about vain is that there is a TINY possibility he's not mafia. But we'll wait for his claim before anything is said. nard is 100% mafia. Foolish would not have missed considering all the possibilities. He had to have watched someone who died, and nard was the ONLY person visiting them. There can be no mistake here.

Because we already have 2 good targets today, both very likely mafia (one called scum by a dead watcher, one called scum by a living dt) I'm not going to push for his lynch today, but I want to say it before I forget. I'll expand on these after I wake up, it's 2am where I am right now. I'll go with a confirmed blue before a likely blue. We can take out Vain tomorrow, or tonight if we still have a vigilante. nard is a priority because someone we know has a power role that can prove people as mafia has stated that nard is mafia. | ||

But even if there was a GF, chances that you randomly visit the guy who gets killed by him are so low! Mafia also can't chose who visits whom. mafia kills 3 people out of about 18. Depending which night foolish chose to check you. one of them get's killed by the GF. noisys randomly visit 1 guy out of 24 including scum?! the chances that you're visiting someone who gets killed are like 1/8 and the chance that you visit the guy who gets killed by the GF are like 1/3*1/8=1/24 scum Even less than that, because you also have to determine the probability of the GF being the one who killed Foolishness' target.

chaoser - Claims DT with a red check on Vain. Not roleblocked, not hit. Doesn't vote for his red check today. Wherebugsgo - Flips tracker after stating that bumatlarge is probably a framer and Vain is not mafia. Good chance that he visited Vain, who didn't visit anyone. Possibility that Vain is GF. Possibility that he tracked bumatlarge who visited Vain. Possibility of both having tracked Vain and seeing he didn't visit anyone and tracking bumatlarge and seeing him visit Vain. Pyo - Claims DT at night. Has to be encouraged to post his checks, and doesn't post results. Later claims attempting to draw hits/roleblocks and claims naive DT with all green checks. I don't believe him, especially with the number of investigative roles that have already flipped/claimed. Possibility of being a sane DT and his targets actually green. Possibility of actually being a naive DT. Possibility of being a lying scumbag (most likely). Rayzorflash - Still a suspect for some reason. I'm not convinced on him. xtfftc - Still a suspect for some reason. I'm not convinced on him. BB/bumatlarge - Pretty damn scummy. Really wish WBG had left us more information here. Somebody check for breadcrumbs (In WBG's posts, not bum's) in the past day or two. I'd do it if I had the time right now. Post back with results. I suggest a couple people go look and post back so a mafia doesn't do it and fuck us all over. I would be comfortable voting for this guy today. Brief synopsis of my thoughts right now. Discuss. | ||

I'm voting Bum cause wherebugsgo, WHO FLIPPED TRACKER, posted that he saw bum visiting vain. So unless bum is blue, he's probably mafia. Either a framer or medic. If he's the former then vain is innocent, if he's the latter than vain is mafia. KK? 2) WTF wherebugsgo is dead?? Why would he be part of "no idea who to vote for?" And he didn't "visit Vain", he tracked bum TO Vain. There's NO possibility that Vain is GF in this wtf...he never tracked Vain, he tracked BUM. 3) You point on Pyo is 100% repeating other what other people have said and boils down to a summary of what's happened 4) Your part on xtfftc and rayzorflash is basically wasted words. 5) Asking for other people to do work instead of yourself: If we weren't focused on bum today I'd be all over your scummy ass right now. Attack the argument, not the player. No reason to incite emotions over a game of mafia so if you can't be respectful, don't play. 1) I wasn't aware that WBG had clearly stated who he tracked and who they visited. I must have missed that while reading the thread. 2) Obviously I'm not about to vote for him. If you'd read, you'd understand that this was simply a collection of my thoughts, and that the players I mentioned weren't all possible vote candidates. 3) Deal with it. 4) Deal with it. 5) Fucking read. I'd do it if I had the time right now. | ||

On September 08 2011 14:53 Palmar wrote: Curu scumslipped like a boss and no one noticed but me, thankfully mafia had Kurumi on their side. I guess I have been spoiled by playing with good town players who bother to work for their victory instead of expecting to be carried, and thus I thought it didn't matter how I acted, because people would most certainly be able to tell the difference anyway. This was not the case during this game, people were stuck with their heads up their asses and did not want to read objectively, and thus it's my own failure not to adapt my play to the bad logic that worked with this town. Here is the list I wrote on day 2, remember that later during the day foolishness and dropbear got "confirmed" https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en_US&hl=en_US&key=0Aolx7msuf_IvdHZoc05pSE9neVFWOWU2RTVYWWpBRmc&output=html But this game was different, people simply did not want to work for it, and I completely failed to adapt my playstyle to this much more naive town than before. The only person on town's side that had decent reads early was Foolishness, other people like xtf and wbg played alright-ish once they got the chance to pull their heads out of their asses, but that was just too late. Personally I have a huge issue with people who seemingly don't care enough to put any thought into their playing. I had major confusion issues with chaos13 this game, because I couldn't simply write off his terrible reads as nooby, because he's not a noob, he's actually pretty good at this game, but this game everything was so off I simply couldn't imagine any other reason but him being wrong intentionally, while the truth was he simply failed to read the thread. I'm going to bold this, because I failed to do this once when I was a newbie, and you all need to learn this lesson. Whenever a townie dies or gets confirmed, especially through a lynch or vig shot, re-read the entire thread with this new information in hand. Foolishness died and had so many nuggets of wisdom. I died and left you with basically the entire mafia team uncovered, but still you lynched people who were obviously not scum. It's so important to read the thread and not focus on looking for "scummy things" or "scumtells". That's what gets uncareful townies lynched, like Hiro and Sevryn. Anyone should've been able to tell they were town, it is how I initially pinned Curu as scum, he's very good at mafia and thus couldn't possibly think the Hiro and Sevryn lynches were good ideas. It was also the case against Mig. This game is just the pinnacle of what happens when you mix pride with lazyness, you end up with a shitty, shitty town that's unable to do anything constructive. On day one we had a mafia against the wall, but we lynched a very, very obvious townie (like, what mafia would so blatantly bandwagon me?) because I was too proud to change my approach, and town was too proud and lazy to listen to my arguments and actually read Sevryn's posts and deduce the mindset he was in when he made those. Thing is, I'll admit it, I'm getting more lazy with posting in a political way, by now I expect people to just listen to what I say, when I'm town and they do it usually ends up very well for town, but sometimes people just don't, and it's hard having to convince the same people every game. Some of us are just never going to be any useful anyway, VisceraEyes has almost never had a correct read, yet he seems unwilling to step back and reassess his approach. Kurumi is a troublemaker in his own, and giving him a gun was the worst thing that could happen to town. chaos13 has been having a streak of terrible reads (cosmic horror, xliv etc) but he'll bounce back once he lets go of his pride, because he's actually good. I think both xtf and wbg have the potential to be good players, same with supersoft, and if hiro protagonist plays town like this again he can easily elevate himself to a good player too. And then there's of course balance to consider, with DropBear and chaos13 derping like mad, who were supposed to be some of town's best and most experienced players there was very little to work with for town. Mafia had 4 really good players, Curu, Mig, BrownBear and chaoser, while town really only had three, Jackal, Foolishness and me. Anyway, I guess this game can act as a collective lesson to us all. So many new or new-ish people got their first taste of being completely fucking wrong time and time again this game, so I hope it allows them to break down and re-build their approach to play better mafia in the future, loads of fairly new players in this game that can go on to be good. As for myself, I'll never again take being listened to for granted, I thought Foolishness's "If Palmar is mafia he's on drugs" would be enough, but again, head in ass syndrome ruined reads for town. Whenever someone like Foolishness says something like that, and then becomes confirmed, people better fucking listen. Well played mafia, and again, sorry for my own performance this game. GG The timing of this game (and the last few) coincided with a few issues in my life, as well as being very busy at work, so I wasn't quite prepared for it, and I really do apologize for both my play in this game and my disrespect towards you. I just didn't have the time or motivation to be doing more than skimming until around the time I died unfortunately. With that said, I still have an issue with your play style this game - it was spammy as hell. Now that the game is over and I'm able to look at it from a more objective perspective, I can see a little more easily how it works, but I still feel it causes more problems than it solves. When the entire town is making random accusations and jumping on bandwagons, mafia can feel free to do the same without fear of any repercussions. Not only that, but posts without real content become the norm, and proper analysis starts to disappear. In a situation like this I suppose it is up to myself individually to ignore all that and not become part of it, but I allowed myself to become irritated and my play suffered greatly as a result. Regardless of the beginnings of my newfound understanding, I don't quite see how an atmosphere like this really benefits the town. How is this better than a game where everyone is calm, logical, and analytical, doesn't spam, and pays complete attention to scumhunting? | ||
