You can't just say "yo you are so mafia". Please tell people, especially us newbies WHY you need to be elected, or WHY he is mafia. @Dropbear: It's important we get these things done now so we don't A) Have a misinterpretation that bite's our asses down the line B) Have no regulation and let mafia run free in the elected positions. We should make a constitution for the elected officials Dropbear is suspicious based his very first post because he is making a ridiculous assumption about our activity in order to prevent us from being elected. The main point of me and palmar being hydras is that we know each others alignment and can thus freely discuss everything. It has nothing to do with activity and I can assure you we will be very active. Why would dropbear want to make that assumption? The townie motivation for it is quite weak as activity is something that will speak for itself. | ||

I'm pretty sure, but could be missreading. You're really flippant on this to just lets vote for me and Radfield "Vote for us" And the reason we should elect him is bescause then he can't run tomorrow is stupid. Anyone elected can't run the next day, it doesn't only apply to him. At least you say its not based on anything substantial. I actually slightly dislike your + radfields campaign now just from this post. The fact that you already think I'm mafia might somewhat be biasing my post. But I like people asking questions so no I'm not mafia. Are you mafia ? DrDoom will release the train and kill innocent people if you answer falsely! No, I actually do not think you are mafia based on your posts so far, to the contrary. It was merely something I wanted to say even before the game began. I did not fully explain my reasoning, but the point is that if radfield is mafia, him being elected does not rob us from the elected position for the duration of the whole game. Usually that is the case, so while you can argue that it's optimal to elect the "best" players into the office without even reading their posts, the fact that they will be stuck there for the remainder of the game is something that makes the optimal play a bit murkier. That is not to suggest that I'm advocating we should elect anyone without reading their posts, but that is my personal position on optimal play. I can discuss this further later today if necessary, but for now I've to catch the bus. | ||

Bodyguards only protect players who were elected on that specific day? If a player is later elected again, will he lose his current elected role? | ||

How effectively can you scumhunt with the mayor/pardoner position as compared to as a regular townie? 2. If you were scum, how damaging would it be for town if you got the mayor/pardoner position, in your own opinion? Lastly, comparing these two questions, do you think the benefits of you being in the mayor/pardoner position if you were town outweigh the cons if it turns out you get the position as mafia? Sorry if I'm being incoherent, really tired right now. Those positions do not help us to scum hunt at all. The only real advantage is that we can not be killed on night 1. The pardoner role is potentially much more harmful in mafia hands as the only power mayor has is the anonymous extra vote. If we were mafia and elected to the position of the pardoner, it would eventually be quite clear that we aren't town aligned and thus us using the pardon would be almost inevitable. Pardoning a townie as mafia is just as harmful because then town has to decide whether the pardoned person is actually mafia or not. Now that I know that the role granted by the position isn't temporary, I think we will be running for pardoner. To answer the final question, yes, especially considering the probabilities involved. It's far more likely that we are town than mafia in any given game. | ||

Citizens of Liquidia! Changes of Government have occurred frequently in history, and in the history of our people. It is certain, however, that never was a change of Government attended with such far-reaching results as it will today. The situation of the Town is desperate. We are called upon to take over the leadership of the Town at a moment when it does not seem to develop towards a great rise. We are given power in circumstances of the greatest conceivable pressure, the pressure of the knowledge that, by itself, everything is lost, and that, in the eyes of the noblest minds, this represents a last attempt, while in the eyes of evil-wishers it should condemn the Multi-Headed Beast to final failure. Unless the Town can be saved, by a miracle, the situation is bound to end in disaster. For during a period of 1day, events have moved downward without respite. On the other hand, this situation is only the result of the Mafia attacks: of the outcome of the murders, of our own internal, political, moral, and military collapse. For these reasons it is particularly important on a day like this to think back to the course of that misfortune. We humbly accept the responsibility that comes with leading town on a day like this. It is only through our actions that we will convince you of our alignment, but what we need is time. Giving us the seat will give us the time needed to both apply our considerable weight towards the war effort, and to disprove, once and for all, any attempts from the Mafia to discredit our honest intentions. The time has come my fellow Liquidians, to rally to a new banner. In unity lies strength; already many of the dissident factions have joined me. Out of the many, we shall forge an indivisible whole, capitulating only to a single throne. And from that throne, we shall watch over you! Vote Arctocod for Mayor | ||

Anyway, okey so basicly Radfield spoke up first on the vote veterans topic and none of the other had any disagreement. Of the involved players I feel most sure on Radfield and we should work together to ensure he becomes Pardoner. I'm not sure who else I want to elect. I don't want to see the Deus-ex or TnTp in office because I think they will be to tough to get a read on. I'm still onsure on The Professor and Arctocod but both I'm leaning against for office Also GiygaS is scummy bastard. This is rather confusing; why are you voting for radfield and why are you leaning against us for office? While both are perfectly reasonable stances to take, I'm curious as to why you reached this conclusion. You like Radfield's "vote for veterans plan", but apparently he is the only "veteran" who is acceptable to you? What in radfield's one post specificially made you sure of him? | ||

Sheth I don't see how the elected position allows you to affect the game in more ways than just voting given that we aren't going to use pardons and mayor only has one extra anonymous vote which will not play an important role until late game. It would be helpful if we could get past this election discussion today because all this talk of policies and candidates isn't particularly informative, especially with there being several rather obvious candidates. /syllogism | ||

Radfield would make that post as scum or town. Everyone knows he'd be running for mayor as town, so it's only logical he also runs as scum. Same can be said for me and syllogism. Thus it's simply incorrect to try and deduce anything about a player's alignment from a post like that, as it's predictable play as town, and thus as scum too. What will eventually reveal Rad's alignment is his ability or inability to use reason. He is so good at mafia, that if he ever makes a logically incorrect decision, he must be scum. Same can be said about myself and Syllo. We do not use bad logic. That's why we're both transparent as scum, and why we're in this position of being almost unanimously voted on day 1 without any effort. /Palmar | ||

I want you to explain a few things: On December 12 2011 15:09 DropBear wrote: I am running for mayor too Why are you running for Mayor? What's the motivation behind it? Do you think scum is more likely to be wanting to off you than say, Radfield? Me/syllo? Super/Annul? If you do, why haven't you pushed any more for being voted? Did you actually not want to be voted into office? You only have a single post following your announcement post, that's probably the most disinterested campaign I've ever heard. Did you maybe only run in the off case someone voted you? On December 12 2011 15:09 DropBear wrote: I don't think voting for any of the hydras is a good idea, they are hydras because they don't have the time/effort to be involved individually. Vote for a single player people. I find it kinda ironic you accuse us and the other hydras of not having time or be willing to put in the effort, and then you make that single election post and disappear off the face of the earth. Do you see any particular pro-town reason for immediately discrediting several strong players?

On December 13 2011 19:27 DropBear wrote: I don't want Arctocod for several reasons, or Curu/Erandorr for that matter. Firstly I really don't like or trust hydras. Read the Protactinium thread if you want to see my feelings on them. With multiple people playing on one account it's much more difficult to differentiate their behaviour and get a read on them. As to low hydra activity, in games that I have played in with hydras, people have shared an account because they didn't have time to play a full game, see Protactinium in mafia 38 and JACCUZISPLAT in PYPI. I assumed that would be the case here. Why else would you ask to play as a hydra? Protactinium was an unannounced hydra. This is bullshit and you know it. Actually your example of Jaccuzisplat is excellent because it directly disproves your point. Kitaman27 played a decent game there, but redFF derp'd hard enough for both of them to be figured out as scum. Thus your point about it being harder to figure out hydras is at best wrong, and at worst fear tactics. On December 13 2011 19:27 DropBear wrote: As for the "dodge" from Arctocod, in Mafia XLIV Palmar launched an absurd aggressive attack on me after my first post. He managed to spam up the first 20 pages or so, aggressively attacked everyone who defended me and caused a general shitstorm. Surprise surprise I was a medic. I panicked and made several mistakes after that. That game severely pissed me off, he's doing it again and I'm not biting this time. That thing was done for a reason. If you don't remember I completely discarded the case on you in favor of a case on BrownBear, it was an experiment to try and catch mafia from reactions to mad tunneling, you were simply an unfortunate victim of that. The scumhunting part worked beautifully, but yes, it destroyed town atmosphere because people are pussies. That doesn't change the fact you're appealing to another game to try and disprove an attack upon you. Why is that?

I'm unlikely to be posting heavily when most of you are because of this. Not only this but it's just over halfway through day 1, give me a chance! Does Australia not have a 24hour day like the rest of the world? For someone runnning for mayor it's very strange to have only posted twice, with one of them being a one-liner. Especially seeing as unlike for example the europeans, it's now 10 pm in Australia, which should mean that you've had two evenings worth of posting by now, unlike the europeans who've only had one evening so far (it's 11 am here).

I do think we need to hear from Arctocod first and I too am interested in the others who are planning on running a campaign. Does that sound like someone who is trying to approach the issue from a townie point of view or someone who has an agenda? How does that make any sense at all?

First of all, I don't think you're in a position to accuse someone of not using logic, when you seem to be happy to apply very little yourself, half your reads and opinions this game have been backed by nothing but your instincts or gut. Also, why do you care so much that we don't think you're accusing him of being mafia? Most importantly, what does this post tell us? It gives us a very much unexplained case on risk.nuke, that seems to conclude nothing about his alignment. But the real idea seems to be asking town to double check your ideas. Why are you not comfortable taking responsibility for your reads and actions? Why do you need so much feedback? If you can't even convince yourself you're right, how do you expect to convince others? The only people in mafia who don't like to be listened to are mafia. You claimed in one of your posts to be cocky and egoistic, I haven't seen any of that. What I have seen is that your filter is already painful to read because your thoughts aren't coherent, What I have seen is that you're insecure in your reads and you don't fully commit to anything, which seems to be an awfully self-centered approach to the game. The only saving grace is that your flowing and chaotic style of posting seems to be something unlikely for a new scum to do, rather an overenthusiastic townie. But I expect you to shape up from this point on. You don't want to be in a position where you're getting by because people think you're bad enough to post these things as town too. Why do you flop so hard on your reads when I attack them? How do you know I'm not mafia trying to defend a scumbuddy? Do you actually care who we lynch tonight? Or is it okay that we lynch just about anyone as long as it isn't you. I'm getting that feeling. | ||

I also think the case against MrZentor is kinda weak, as is the case against Zeks. Just little things like MrZentor's brutal honesty about "having to make 2 posts" and Zeks's willingness to aggressively attack people's skills. It doesn't prove that they're town, but it makes it less likely they're scum. We simply could not reach a conclusive case on anyone as scum today. So we're going with the next best thing, vote someone who doesn't look like he's town, and I don't believe will contribute to the game. I'm going to stick our vote for the day on Nisani201 Here's a link to his filter: Clicky There are multiple reasons for him being the choice. First off, there is nothing in his filter that's distinctly town. There is nothing that makes me go "hmmm... that does like kinda town-like". That's always the first thing to look for. However, he is being kinda lurkery today, he's provided very little content of any value. He does seem to be less of a dick than he usually is as town, He seems to not have a strong opinion on whom to vote today as can be seen this post: On December 13 2011 12:39 Nisani201 wrote: We could also lynch a lurker (such as TotallyNotTwoPeople). Again, I want more information. Lynching for information is a common misconception, we always attempt to lynch scum. Based on Nisani's history as town, he increases scum's chance of winning the game regardless of his alignment, he does stupid shit as town, and thus gets away with stupid shit as scum. I cannot conclusively prove he's scum, but I think he's by far the most viable lynch we have at the moment. ##Vote Nisani201 | ||

If I die overnight because of your stupid bullshit, I'm seriously never fucking playing here again. I like most new people. I actually go out of my way to get new people involved. I dislike playing with people who actively sabotage games they're in. Until your town play becomes good enough to hold you accountable for doing stupid stuff, it's simply not fun playing with you. There is no way to figure you out when you're mafia because you cannot be lynched for being wrong, because you're almost always wrong as town too. It's annoying because simply having you in the game decreases town's chance of winning, regardless of your alignment. But, I am going to completely stop being a dick to you for now, and since that outburst looked pretty townie to me, I'm going to assume you're town. Please change my opinion of you. | ||

The fact GiygaS gave us the right to control the package said a shitton about his alignment. Syllo and I aren't always right, but we have a pretty good track record of hitting scum early in games, so sending us a PM with an explanation of his ability, and how we give him a signal to use it, is very, very pro-town. I really doubt scum would risk us hitting a red by basically giving us a vigilante shot on night 1. Obviously you need to think we're town in order for GiygaS to be town, but I'm guessing most people already figured out that we're town by now. So yeah, GiygaS is basically off the table as a lynch candidate. | ||

I'm also curious why Eiii was chosen when Arctocod mentioned 3 completely different targets for Vig shots earlier. Was that decision entirely your own Arcto? It was our decision. I'm blaming Syllo. It makes no sense for us to suggest Vigi targets we're going to kill off ourselves. The idea for killing Eiii came from prplhz's post about nisani201, but apparently we were wrong. | ||

The reason for this is because, as I said before, he has already announced his role. Therefor, the potential drawback that his role would be revealed to the mafia is null, as it already has been. Arcto should still be elected in the 1st position because he has not yet revealed his role, and that happening could be detrimental to the town (although he is already a pretty big target if his hit claim is true.) What are you talking about? Where did everyone get the idea that Secretary of Defense's role will be announced in public? All it says is that no one will know what the position does until elections are over, and even then only the person elected into that position will be told about it.

I agree with him on this. I have played one other game with Greymist, and he was scum in that game. He seems to be playing quite similar to how he did in that game. In both games he asks a ton of questions to various people, only to land on whatever seems like a fairly easy lynch to pull off with minimal real analysis. He also tends to enjoy answering simple questions such as hours remaining in the day, votes required for lynch, etc. While certainly nice to do, it also gives you a way to seem like you are helping when you are in fact only providing information already available to everyone. His filter from this game: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=291720&user=120900¤tpage=All and from Steamship: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=282366&user=120900¤tpage=All I'd be interested to hear input on this from anyone else with prior experience playing with him. Does he tend to do this as town as well? If he does, then obviously this case on him is significantly weakened, but regardless I have yet to see much out of him so far that makes me think he is likely to be town. /Harbinger Arctocod, I'm assuming at least one of your halves has played with Greymist when he was town before, does he normally play like this as town? In steamship, as scum, he was on the top two vote getters day 1 and day 2, here he already managed to get a vote in on every one of the top 3 vote getters on day 1. Also, as I'm sure most people are aware, some people are just easier to get lynched than others due to the way they play. Scum obviously love to push for lynches that they think will be easiest to pull off. Two of the people getting votes yesterday were Nisani and MrZentor. This is a quote from Greymist. From Steamship. Scum preying on the same players as he did in a previous game? Seems quite plausible to me. Palmar is gone for the day so he can't comment on that but greymist at least been very active and appeared to start scum hunting early. Doesn't look like a good target for the day. I'm struggling with all these low content players I'm not familiar with. Comprissant and Marserblood in particular look awful to me. | ||

Rad while your play on the whole looks solid, I can't help but to return to the way the lynch went. "I'm voting for evantrees. Anyone who wants to follow me is more than welcome. " "That's actually a pretty good point ProBad. Lets go with Spaackle." "Lets solve the risk.nuke question on another day. I say we hit spaackle." While that's something I could say, that doesn't really look like typical radfield behavior. You even acknowledged after xlviii that your play was too passive and you need to be more confident and now you just randomly switch to someone and barely justify it? Mrzentor: Claim please. Full claim. | ||

It is optimal to use it today and as early as possible, assuming Rad's claim about there being a role blocker that can act during day and night is true (well actually I'm pretty sure it's true, the question is whether he was really blocked). It is optimal because there is always a chance he gets shot if he is town, people were suspicious of him and I think the extra 24h will be most helpful today. The more players there are in the game, the more time we need to shift through posts and therefore it's best to use it as early as possible, though probably not on day 1. Further, I don't think it's a good reactive ability, as suddenly postponing the lynch will just cause unnecessary chaos. | ||

Curu has a very high chance of flipping scum and hitting scum today will lower scum kp. He hasn't been particularly useful and doesn't appear like he has much interest in the game. You say he has the potential to be useful, but there is little indication that he intends to be and it's because he is red. Annul is probably a good town player and should have been lynched on day 2 in XLVIII, agreed? Sandroba was obvious scum in that game as well and could easily have been lynched on day 2. | ||

It's a rather astute conclusion based on the information available at the time, especially coming from a new player. Eiii's flip pretty much confirmed that it really is the case for the scum version of the role. He also pushes risk nuke, who I believe mafia has considered to be the easy mislynch. While his role can be used in a pro town fashion as he did when I requested him to, it's also quite nice for scum.

Syllo is saying the truth. We discussed several other things in Curu's play (from his half-assed candidacy, his insistance on killing spaackle who syllo and I both saw as pretty townie, his seemingly non-persuative effortless scumhunting, his lack of accusations etc). I was going to write a case on him last night, but then he decided to troll the game instead. There is no town motivation for doing what he's doing so we have to hang him. No matter what, after this he will have to die at some point in the game. He holds the pardoner ability, so double lynching today would be kinda stupid. So sadly, we're kinda stuck with not much to do at the moment. I personally feel supersoft is kinda scummy, and I agree with syllo's notion that MrZentor's idea of how the role works is... suspiciously accurate. I haven't read sheth again and I haven't spoken with syllo today, but I found his day 1 posting very weird, but I wrote it off as a newbie style (It was mostly me who pressured him on day 1). So syllo's probably right about him too, he usually is. But maybe there was something to it, I need to re-read. That's actually what I'd suggest people do today, spend as much time as you can reading the thread. /Palmar | ||

I have a difficult time believing that a smart townie would make certain statements and behave in the way he has. I actually want to believe that he is mafia, because otherwise I'm a bit disappointed in him, which may not be fair given that it's apparently his first forum mafia game. If he is mafia, he has played very well and I applaud his effort. I'll reread his filter after the flip before deciding whether I consider MrZentor or him the better lynch tomorrow. | ||

It sounds artificial. He couldn't find "anything in common" so mafia is either brilliant or random firing? What exactly did he expect NKs to have in common and why? | ||
