We get more time to discuss, that´s the only effect of this pre-game day. Any tactics that work during Day 1 should work here, sort of. Without knowing the rules and abilities in the game, it´s harder to know what to look for. | ||

Have you played a lot of Mafia? I've played in about 5-6 games on TL Mafia, most of them pretty early on, when the "TL Mafia" games were followed by a single-digit number. Or at least a number under 20, anyway. So, of the players here, I've played with tnkted and (I think) OriginalName once in PYP Insane, but that's pretty much it. Also, I am not "really good," hmph. In fact, I think I'm pretty bad at Mafia games. But I do like My Little Pony, which is why I'm here anyway. On September 13 2011 01:12 Forumite wrote: Yeah, yeah, all right, but what to talk about? It´s more or less a first day, what is there to discuss? I have to agree, I'm a bit at a loss too. Normally, I think we would discuss roles and plans on Day One, considering we don't have to elect a Pony Mayor. With the closed setup, though, none of us have any idea what roles are out there, so I think it would be too speculative to spend a lot of time concocting plans or good uses for certain roles' abilities if it turns out those roles don't even exist. Nor do we know which characters have been made into roles, so it's pretty hard to start guessing about their abilities or alignments. Especially when GMarshal explicitly stated that roles don't reflect alignment. I guess one thing we should probably do, though, is not digress too much into pony-related discussions from now on (or at least definitely when Night begins), as much as I like talking about the show. First, it would get spammy, and even with the lovely new "filter" option, I'd rather not have to go back later and read lots of posts about MLP instead of the game. Second, I think it gives Mafia an easy way to look active and post a lot without contributing. I think that usually on Day One, with an absence of information, the usual route is to ask everyone to contribute and look for the players who are being inactive. If the Mafia can get away with hiding in plain sight by posting a ton about the show, that would hurt the town a lot. | ||

A Vet in Kurumi's TF2 themed mafia and VT in XLIII. 2 of those games were PM games and I was pretty inactive in XLIII, so my meta on TL is pretty useless. This is a small game so there shouldn't be too many posts. However little there may be to read, a lurker or two is bound to pop up. What are your thoughts on how to deal with them? | ||

Despite that, I don´t want to lynching lurkers to be the general policy. The problem isn´t the lurking, it´s how much harder it is to get a read on them. Pressuring lurkers is fine though.

Because we also don't know how many or what type of roles exist, we need to focus on logic and behavioral analysis, rather than hope for power roles to carry us. I think we should process forward assuming no blues exist. This guy's scum | ||

Read it from a town perspective. We all know that already. It's all fluffy puffy feel good bullshit that scum love to post at the beginning of a game. Did you guys know diphallia is a common disorder amongst the sub order Eunectes of constrictors? | ||

We had 23 hours extra on the first day, and wasted it with nonactivity. | ||
