That is nothing close to being a toxx clause (bet clause). It bets nothing based on info he knows and therefore doesn't reveal things in a confirmed sense that breaks the game.

Okay, can the dead people GTFO of the thread? It's kind of distracting.

Personally, I'm not sure if I want to accept the draw offer or not. I want to at least try to win otherwise I will feel like a failure, but I know the odds of that aren't in my favour.

Assuming a majority hasn't been reached, I'll be posting again after I get home from class. Slept in x.x


Problem is, town can't win without luck.
We need brilliant scumhunting AND luck with the PR's to win the game.
Since this game is supposed to be about analysis and deduction, it's a bit of a shame to keep playing for (maybe) 3 more weeks without having the chance to win only with good scumhunting.
I therefore think it's better for everyone to vote for draw, so we can start a new game that is going to be fun again.

So if it makes you feel better, losing due to luck isn't failling in my opinion.

Well crap, I'm in bed sick for a day and this is what I come back to? That modkill list sucks. I'll go with the majority on whether to go on and call it a draw and move on.

An example would be if he had said, "I am town and will give 50 dollars to x person to hold until the end game. If I flip scum x person can keep the money."

That is the most abusive form of breaking the rule in question and I gave it as an example to help make it clear what the goal of the rule is.

I have to second the consistency thing... not because of what redFF posted, but because

a) Risen was modkilled for editing a post but risk.nuke also edited a post and was not modkilled
b) Multiple inactive players have not been modkilled while others have
c) Replacements seem manipulated. It's hard to believe that with all these inactive modkills not a single one has been mafia yet. The odds of that are just extremely low
I HAVE 5 TOAST POINTS

We seriously need an ethics investigation on some of these mods post-game.
I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt. I mean not that fancy store bought dirt. That stuffs loaded with nutrients. I... I can't compete with that stuff.

by the way...

there should be 144 total votes cast (69 * 2 + 6 for mayor). there are currently 97. we are likely to have ~20 modkills if people dont get their shit in in the next 4.5 hours.


lol thats awful. I dont even know what to say.

This game was almost certainlly balanced for 80 people which means this much inactive town pretty much is gg with no effort ezmode for scum.



In this quote you slipped that the modkills would be town, now you agree that the replacements must be scum?

Not a single modkill being scum actually isn't terribly surprising. Mafia tend to be more interested in the game than vanilla townies, so they stick around.

Even if that means posting one liners and only voting randomly they still stick around.

I didn't look at the list I just saw the number of inactives. That many inactive ruins games without mod kills even.

Even if every Mafia was lurking that is 4 that would be modkilled and I doubted there would be 16 lurking scum.

what's unfortunate about this is no one really learned anything about how to play mafia...especially not the scum.

Townies will learn something from the cases that were posted day 1 and day 2 and the mistakes they made. What will scum learn? Probably nothing.

IMO this should serve as a message why activity is so damn important for towns. As long as TL players continue to go inactive due to ADD or whatever causes them to flake after 24 hours, TL towns will pay the price. Town play as a whole isn't bad; when townies here are active and play decently, scumteams get wrecked because none of them actually know how to handle a good town.

Ugh, there's so little information and scum are free to bury any tell under piles of nonsense and fingerpointing, as I'm sure it's being done. This will be most valuable in retrospective and I feel town should simulate a close vote to entice mafia to root for their candidate(s), but Palmer flew away in the popularity contest. So I'm protest voting for sinani206.

Worthless posts. Note how he's trying to appear helpful without actually adding anything to the discussion. WBG and Palmer call him out for this. WBG mostly says he's a useless lurker. His responses:

One game-relevant post. Two posts about timestamps. Useless.

Again, an excellent lurker-bane shot.


Sorry if I didn't make myself clear in my first post. As a newbie I know nothing metagame, which is about everything this early. If I go out of my way to catch up with the veterans, bad analysis would harm town and good analysis would make mafia drop me in ten seconds flat. Once we have actual hard data to put against what I'm witnessing first hand I can make myself useful.

You say the bolded part as if it's a bad thing...

Always, always, always be open and transparent. If you haven't noticed yet I'm being super lenient with newbies this game, I always give them the benefit of the doubt. I call their logic bad without calling them scum, so even if you do stupid shit, you're not fucked, as long as you're willing to improve.


Uh, you mean I should volunteer to be sacrificial lamb? If I do stupid shit mafia would rather have me alive.

Excuses, no commitment, and most of all, no real attempts to do anything useful.

And then, he's silent for a couple of days, before the "lol everyone swap votes at the last minute" debacle. He did not swap votes at the last minute, but he voted ahead of time, and this was he votes for Risen and WBG, 3 hours before deadline. He made no posts in the discussion thread at this point. In the aftermath of the voteswitch...

Funny thing is I was intent on doing a last minute vote change to Palmar and BC, but my internet went out for the second night in a row like 2 hours before the deadline. Would be a totally different game.

How did the tie between BC and zeks was broken?


So let's think about this for a moment. Worthless, spam votes hidden in 3rd and 4th-placing people. Complete lack of any attempt at discussion. Explaining his "internet outage" as the reason for his voting pattern, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME ADMITTING HE WAS PLANNING ON A LAST MINUTE VOTE CHANGE...

One more thing. Soap's internet was not broken on the night of Wednesday, November the 30th. No, not at all. If it was, it must have been broken for a very narrow timeframe.

It was working the night before at 8 pm:

The link to this thread in the Fantasy page points to the previous one, http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=215986


What this indicates to me is that Soap's internet was working just fine. Why's that? Look at his post. This isn't a "I literally just logged in and wrote this" post. This is a "I was doing something, found a link that was broken, and decided to write about it over here" post. Soap, my friends, was active and online that night. If, in fact, Soap's internet was broken, it was broken for an extremely short period of time-- starting sometime within a couple hours before the deadline and stretching until just after.

After being, well, characteristically helpful, Soap returns to the thread:

Hai!

I first voted sandroba for mayor because Palmar pushed him and that would be stupid if he was scum, then I got fed up with the shallow campaigns and voted sinani for the lulz. Then wbg took over the thread with mostly lists and OMGUS (spammer = scum amirite?) but noone else seemed to bother so I grew disinterested in posting, but I've been following closely.

Pleask ask if there's something else I could fill.

Soap is either scum and trying to subvert our vote, or lying about having read the thread, or he'd be voting the way everyone else is. HE claims that he's been voting "for the lulz" and that he's lurking, and that those of us who contribute are scum and he is silent because he's not.

I don't buy it. My body is not a sturdy cardboard cylinder. My head is not made out of hard, sweetened candy.

I am not a sucker.

Soap is scum.
