I think it goes with the two highest votes, so there seems to be a bigger politcal element in following lynch candidates. If one person gets 1 votes and the next highest is 1 they both get lynched.

You want me to refute an opinion you have about similarities in my play as scum 3 or 4 games ago, which i obviously don't agree with?

You have given me nothing to refute.

It's going to be natural for people to read into other peoples' play styles.

Also, GMarshal...claiming? And shrouded in nonsensical babble. Why?

I have a proposal, for the purpose of maximizing efficiency with our mandated double lynch. For the first day, maybe the first 2, we lynch a scummy person, one of average activity, and the scummiest lurker.

This achieves all of the goals of a day one lynch (lynch somebody who people have given an opinon on and who will give information when/if we see them flip, as per the goal of a normal game), as well as eliminating a lurker.

Lurkers are hard to read and dare i say distracting to the town as the game goes on, so i'd like to take advantage of the tools given to us and get rid of them early.

As the game continues we will have more information to go on, and the chances of us accurately lynching more than one scum are increased, so we can lynch normally.

you didn't read the whole post, did you? GMarsal isn't playing. Basing votes and lynches purely off of meta is hit and miss. sometimes it can have accurate results (example being Mig in XLIV) but in other situations, (such as this one) it can lead to mislynches because somebody is playing "off their meta." I seem to get accused of this every other game, actually.

Role confirmed. Ground rules for a good game and a happy Varpy:

• no spamming. Be efficient with your posts and try to make each one count. we don't need to hear every thought you have, so if you want to say something, organize your thoughts and put them all into ONE post
  
• no lurking. Be active and constructive. We won't be able to get an accurate read on you if you have no posts, and I don't want to have to resort to lurker lynches to get rid of people like that, especially in such a small game.
  
• no trolling. I understand that you want to have fun in a mafia game, but please don't do it in a way that will ruin the experience for others. fake claiming randomly falls into this category. I would discourage fake claiming in general, but in certain situations it serves a purpose. If you don't have a good reason, don't claim to be a role that you're not.
  

As an aside, claims should never be trusted outright. If we trust every claim, mafia will claim with impunity and we'll get destroyed.

Palmar, could we try to start discussion without you tunneling the first person you see?

Alright guys, it's game on. I'd like to start with a suggestion. It's very basic, but very vital.

Vig's, be you day or night, holster your gun and try to ignore the itch of your trigger finger. This holds true in every game, but it's especially important in this one. Look at the role list, and see how much kp we potentially have in the game. Every vig role has two shots, half of them can shoot during the day. That's a lot of kp that will be a lot more useful later on.

Dayvigs: If you must shoot, claim and let us discuss. If you're willing to shoot, make sure that you've got approval from the town. Gut shots are wrong as often as they're right.

Hatters: You guys are special, because even if the scumbag mafia doesn't kill you, your bob-ombs will still go off. You also can't move them, so I don't think it's a smart idea to place them from the get go. Wait a day/night cycle, at least. It's for the good of everybody.

With that said, let's get to the game and kill us some scum. As an aside, i'm currently very dissapointed that Kurumi didn't give me my favorite class, though I guess it can't be helped, he wasn't in the game anyways.

We need to be careful about lynches in this game. A lot of lynches have ended up tied in the past, and they worked out because of the most votes first mechanic(an example of this is DrH's experimental haunted mafia, day 1 lynch), but could end in disaster in this one. Double lynching by mistake is a good way to lose quickly and painfully.

Also, i'm going to be cracking down on people who are voting for people who are unlikely to get lynched without seriously pushing for such a lynch. It's practically an abstain vote, and abstain votes are scummy as all hell.

to be quite honest i completely skipped Navillus' wall of text. As always, i think we should declare an open season against lurkers. If scum lurk, they die. Period.

why is kenpachi smurfing as lucidity?

Alright I'm caught up. Correct me if I'm wrong, but an accurate summary of the proceedings today is:

Jackal claims HP, ON claims voldy, ON dies, people say that Jackal is lying. YM kills ON, gets killed by tackster, supersoft kills tackster. Kitaman is lurking, Kurumi is trolling/soliciting votes.

I'm uneasy about lynching Jackal based purely on role speculation. I'd rather keep an eye on him and keep him the hell away from the hallows.

I'd be fine with lynching kitaman27 at the moment. Nobody vote for Kurumi, k?

A couple of guidelines for blues/players in general:

• Don't mason people at random right away and certainly do not mason people who ask you to unless you're damn sure that they're town.
  
• In this setup, it might be worth detectives checking strong players night 0, so that you have a confirmed townie who knows what he's doing to mason should you need somebody to discuss things with later on.
  
• Medics should pick their protects from a pool of players that you'd like on the town's side later on. Mafia is likely to try to eliminate strong players before they have a chance to scumhunt.
  
• Vigis should absolutely not be shooting night 1. Your chances of hitting scum only get better if you be patient.
  
• In PMs:
  -Do not roleclaim
  -Do not assume that the player that you're talking to is not mafia
  

That's all that I can think of atm. If you agree, disagree, or would like to add suggestions, do so. Let's get this discussion started.

how is trying to look pro-town a Scummy thing? Likewise, how is posting guidelines for the way you would want the game to proceed Scummy?

Neither are, and neither one is specific enough behavior to even matter.

Red anything you want to add that actually is from this game? Because imo right now your digging yourself a grave.

meh your first post was still scummy as shit varp, dont lurk, spam or troll, thanks for the tip.

what happens in almost every game?

People lurk, peoplePalmar spams, and the trolling bit is mostly just so i could fit in my "don't fakeclaim" thing, because apparently people don't know that. If you've been following XLIV, a fakeclaim got our medic killed (it was the medic fake-claiming).

I thought it was pertinent to add that little tip.
