The game has unfortunately probably been full since page 1. There will likely be other games during the holiday break, which won't be quite as popular and won't use invitations.

I'm accusing the hydra of provoking chez. There is no reason to ask such a stupid question. Stop asking stupid questions.

What does this even mean? The theme is to punish bad play, not to punish weird play and how do we "think outside the box to counter his methods"? Not making sense is bad play, will you take responsibility?

I don't understand why Chezinu would come in and basically claim Traitor. The move makes no sense as a Townie gamble since you destroy your own credibility and put yourself at risk of being lynched or vigged.

I know that he's Chezinu but I think he actually is the Traitor. Kind of like how he basically claimed SK day 1 in LSB's Merc Mini Mafia. Either way the onus is on him to either post real content or face the lynch.

I'm not too familiar with bum's play since every game I've been in with him we've been scum together so I ignore his posts but does he have a penchant for useless posting? I vaguely remember him getting lynched as Town in Personality for posting like crap.

Is this Curu? Tag your posts. I've a hard time believing that you actually think chezinu couldn't do that regardless of his alignment. Oh no Chezinu may destroy his credibility!!

That's really stupid, how does that make him harder to read, especially if they tag their posts as instructed. Not like that is a good reason for lynching someone even if that was the case. GM do you think it's harder to read chezinu or the hydra? If the answer is chezinu, why are you voting to lynch the hydra

Bum I've read your post several times and I still don't understand what you are trying to say. It's very likely that if there are "triggers" in the game, they aren't arbitrary but as the theme suggests punish only bad play. Of course mafia roles might follow different rules, but lynching someone based on your guesses is awful. Asking questions is normal town play and is a null tell unless we later gain information that provides an alternative motivation for them. There is no need to play any differently than you normally do and in fact you shouldn't as that will only make it more difficult to potentially establish your innocence.

That is incorrect; for instance information roles have to role claim because the lack of role flips prevents us from just going through their post history in order to figure out their investigation results and such. Indeed the threat of night kill might make claiming relatively early worth considering, even if you only have town results. Similarly if a medic protects someone and gets lynched without claiming the protection, mafia can later on gamble and claim the protection. The latter is a bit far fetched scenario, but a strict no claiming strategy is not good. Actually another advantage is that it will be easier later on to determine whether certain claims make sense in terms of balance.

Or we could just ignore roles and work on analysis, since in a half flip setup with completely unknown mechanics its going to be hard to sort out truth from lies.

There is no reason why we can't do both and we it shouldn't be that difficult given that we get alignment flips. Are you going to answer why you voted for curu/sandroba hydra over chezinu on the grounds of hydra being difficult to read and then proceeded to say chezinu can't be read

Yes it is.

Chezinu played just fine as Town in Personality, enough to make him a night 1 shot. IIRC he was playing fine in Closed Casket as Town as well.

The one game I remember him nonstop trolling and posting nothing but nonsense was LSB's game where he was 3rd party SK and claimed it day 1. Yeah it's early in day 1 and most people haven't even posted yet which is why I said if this is just some random nonsensical idea from him as Town then the onus is on him to start actually playing the game.

Listen Jack,

Town doesn't know the roles. Mafia does. What does this mean? If you have a crazy role to play, the mafia knows this. The town doesn't. However! There are some black roles out there and quite a few.. them mafia don't know about them except for that traitor other there. Here we are day 1 and it is so dark you might as well call it night and its going to be a long night for many of us are going to die.

It bound to come up. Role claiming. As much as I would love to claim a bank, I'm not. If people claim blue the mafia can spot lying townies. or lying blues claiming to be other blues.. oh wait.. thats a great idea! How about I act like a blue role claiming to be a different blue role to make the mafia think I'm a green or black claiming blue? yeah thats good. Ok guys. I got the nazi role.. if your grammar is so bad, I cna kills yous! But watch out, if you correct someone's grammar in the thread. There may be a role that is hunting them grammar nazis.. Ver is trying to turn us into professionals. Its his secret plan. so type dull proper structured formal long writings guys! oh and don't forget to have fun adhering to these rules to avoid certain deaths.. but don't forget you still have to deal with the lynches.

Just knowing the roles doesn't mean anything.
I can tell you there is probably a cop, doc, sk, vig, ect ect. What does that help you with? Night actions I guess.

There is a big difference between knowing who has who's role, and just knowing the list of roles. For example, if we knew that there was a traitor, we wouldn't do much. However if we knew that Chez was the traitor, that would be an easy day 1 lynch.

If not, what statement is it in response to?

If it is, are you defending chez's statement that people should straight out claim right now? Or are you introducing an obvious yet irrelevant point?

It was a response to RebirthOfLeGenD, who seemed to be advocating not claiming, ever

Curu's reasoning appears solid; GM asserted that hydra's are inherently hard to read and therefore according to him anti-town, while Curu pointed out they actually benefit town because two players are more effective than one. How can you say that the former is a good reason to lynch someone while the latter isn't a good reason to keep someone alive? In the end all that matters is whether they are being useful and making sense, which is what your previous post was talking about

Hold off on voting Samuel for now, I made a mistake.

It was an innocent accusation against chezinu's posts. I'll delve more into it later, but it's kinda the concept of a hydras fault. I don't really see the WIFOM at the moment, so until I review everything else, I'm going to hold my vote.

I thought it was a pretty dumb case, so pretty much what I would expect. Not sure about the forced part because it takes some forcing for me to read his posts in general. As for the SK part, he seemed to be saying that lsb knows there is a SK because he is mafia but that's stupid because OP only says they'll be given some sort of list of blues and not third parties. And the OP does hint about the possibility of other black roles than just the traitor

None of that sounds actually useful as too much is being assumed and there is no reason to believe the assumptions are more likely/accurate than traditional reads. In fact, a lot of the reads you stated overlap with typical scum behaviour.

BC, where are you?

Can any of the older vets tell me how BC plays in their experience?

In my experience, when he's town, he is motivated, and posts actively. For example, here's his filter from PTP2:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=245008&user=10200

XLVII:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=285690&user=10200

In both games, he's active, and contributing. In both games, you get the feeling he actually cares about what's happening, and wants to have an influence on the game.

Now contrast that to:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=295384&user=10200

One post, that's completely vacuous. Almost everything he says has either already been said, or is useless. This runs completely against my experience with townie BC, and is very similar to my experience with scum BC.

In any case, I want him to post more.

##Vote: BloodyC0bbler

What do people think?

@prplhz: I'd rate it as pretty bad. Kind've reminds me of what I did in Mini Mafia X. In any case, I want to see what GM has to say now, to see whether it's BS, or something that's actually contributory.

I completely agree and think he is a good lynch candidate for the day.

As a side note, I find it quite annoying how many people accepted the invite despite being too busy to actually play the game as they can't all be mafia. Just look at the length of the replacement queue; I would wager the vast majority of them would be willing to put more effort into the game than the people currently playing.

Palmar: L's vote is pretty ridiculous, but it seems strange from mafia point of view as well considering the thread was dead and there was no need to divert attention elsewhere. It seems more like a poorly thought of angry town reaction to your irrelevant quibble with his setup analysis.

I'm more interested in who you want to lynch.

I'm still partial to GM if that's all he has got. It seems strange that he decided to spend his time writing more setup analysis when we've 6(?) hours until lynch. Lurking by bc/rol/ggq et al seems more of a null tell based on Ver's post, so I'm now less inclined to lynch someone who is clearly completely away.

Anyway, I'm starting to consider LSB the better lynch out of GM/LSB, despite finding WBG's initial case quite stupid. GM's post is a bit strange, but I think him not reading carefully is more of a null or even slightly leaning town read. In a situation where he is already being pressured I think he would be more careful as scum. I do however agree with your points on LSB and even GM's point about him lacking confidence.

I too don't think GM's claim makes any sense from scum point of view, unless he was really concerned about being shot tonight and there was no better claim available. It also definitely doesn't make sense to fake claim a role that isn't present in the game or at least on the list of possible roles, as even without flips we can safely assume townies who are about to be lynched aren't lying. I guess it's possible that they were given a partial list and LSB's role wasn't on it and GM posted without thinking but that is very unlikely.

Bum you never really explained why you found LSB scummy. The closest thing for explaining your vote was when you said you liked GM's claim more than LSB's and a bit earlier said "LSB has been spouting nonsense", which are both quite poor justifications for voting someone. As far as I can tell you didn't even state that you agreed with someone else's analysis on him. Actually don't think you explained why you found Palmar or foolishness scummy either.

There is no way GM would lie about his target. No townie would lie in that situation; he could have just posted it a bit earlier if the intention was to mislead mafia and given how his role supposedly works, lying would be incredibly anti-town. If someone else has the same role as GM it might be worth claiming to determine whether RoL surviving semi-confirms him.

Jackal as a n1 mafia kill seems bizarre to me unless NKs are based on some sort of triggers as well. He only pushed for LSB and didn't post anything relevant during the night

@GGQ: do you believe mafia has two role blockers or that chezinu is lying? One of the two have to be true for your scenario to be possible

Wiggles: what exactly did you mean here

What are the chances someone claims RB in the morning, though? That means we're either going to have to lynch them out of principle, or deal with bullshit for the next couple days. What do people plan to do, when someone claims RB, or claims their shot but the target doesn't die (vet or protected)? I see this as pretty likely to happen, regardless of if one is scum or not.

Why did you consider such a scenario likely? Do you have the list of blues? Even if the setup has a bunch of vets/medics, it actually seems quite unlikely for a town vig to hit someone who is medic protected. Regardless, now that something like that has happened, what do you think should be done with RoL? Despite flipping traitor, I think Palmar was ironically right about you

@Chaoser: That "new style" post was done pre-game and it was basically an inside joke. There is nothing inconsistent with my switch from GM to LSB and stating you agree with someone else's reasoning is the same (or actually better) as repeating it word by word. Then what are those two post quotes intended to demonstrate? Laziness? Yes, that is how I play. The notion that you have to add to the existing case or even make up your own reasons to support a lynch is erroneous. All that is required is a "paper trail" so you can for instance be held accountable for inconsistencies and such. Bum voted without saying anything at all and also did the same with his other reads. This may be an indication of his alignment or of his laziness, but regardless I would be very interested to hear his reasoning.

Who do you find scummy syllo? So far today, the only thing you have done is show up to defend yourself about the change in play style comment. What do you think about prplhz?

This looks exactly like his town play and would be pretty much the last person I would lynch today. I would like to lynch one of the people who have apparently decided not to play the game as by this point it's far more likely that they aren't just busy but rather are using it as a cover. Out of them BC would be my #1 choice.

Well at least one out of RoL and Chezinu is definitely mafia. I would like to hear from Chezinu first but the situation has been covered quite adequately above.

Purely based on balance I think it's quite likely that he is mafia and also due to him still being alive. This is somewhat complicated by the possibility of mafia KP also being trigger based. However based on the effort he has put into the game and the content of the posts he looks ok. Foolishness breadcrumbed shooting him, which either means scum RBed foolishness, there was a scum (?) medic on L, or foolishness was a suicide vig who doesn't kill his target. I think the RB scenario is most likely, but since foolishness never stated that he suspected L, this doesn't say anything about L. If he was RBed, the reason is more likely his suspicion of WBG and RoL. In conclusion I don't think he is the best lynch today, but if we hit scum today and he survives another night, he should be looked into again.

Are you claiming alignment cop or something? How do you know one of us is definitely scum?

Chezinu claimed RB on n1, so either he is lying and thus scum or he was RBed and then there is no good explanation for you to be alive unless there is a scum medic. I guess it's possible that GM didn't actually hit you or his shot doesn't go through if the target is town, but both scenarios require poor play on GMs part; he specifically said that his role is the same as LSB's, who heavily implied that his shot goes through regardless of the alignment of the target.

Bum how does the scum team consisting of role blockers make sense considering that only one person has claimed RB so far and last night there were 6 deaths, of which only one was claimed. None of the living players claimed RB, so even assuming foolishness was RBed, that's three missing role blocks.

Given the weird n1 kills I think it's more likely that scum also has some sort of KP roles that punish "bad" play or something similar. A scum medic also makes more sense than more than 1 RBer due to the missing RB claims. Two role blockers is possible but lynching people or clearing people based on that assumption in LYLO is very weak/scummy.

Ok, thats sounds cool. So now L is scum then.

Very possible, but nothing in above is related to that. Why are you making these bad logical leaps in LYLO?

Are you saying that because he claimed to have shot BC he is town? That is completely inconclusive as scum have some sort of list of blues, might have similar vig roles as town and so many people died last night that it isn't possible to even know who shot BC. It's even possible for scum to use regular night KP to kill someone and then claim a vig shot, though no way scum would have used normal night KP on BC in this situation. I think it's very likely that he did shoot BC, however.

It doesn't particularly matter when as long as it's comfortably before the lynch tomorrow, taking time zone constraints into account

Sheth: That's not "proof" at all, but I agree with L being the safest lynch today

Bum why are you treating Chezinu/Meapak like a confirmed townie? That is to say you immediately appear to dismiss your multiple RBers theory and don't appear to care at all about Chezinu apparently lying about being roleblocked

Leaning scum based on my last read, I'll probably have time to reread him later today

Because of this absurd roleblocking result, I'm not sure a balance complaint is reasonable unless you want to focus on the excessive volatility which is quite sensible.

I don't understand. The roleblocks made sense in light of what we knew; Sheth had been very suspicious of Kita and so had been GM. Are you suggesting we shouldn't have role blocked anyone? Blocking bum on n5 was a mistake as by that point kita should have gambled but considering his heroic efforts otherwise, can't fault him for that.

Even keeping some of the people a lot of townies were suspicious of (RoL) doesn't seem too bad

And this role definitely shouldn't have been able to shoot me for using the word scummy, a word that is almost a necessity unless you always want to go for the long form. As you said, I substitute it for "suspicious" or "more likely to be mafia"; just because I don't explain why shouldn't make me a valid target for this specific vig. There were other vigs for that.

Acronym Vigi

You are the Acronym Vigilante! You hate people who use acronyms and buzzwords excessively like WIFOM , meta, or the dreaded "scumtell." Once per game you can shoot anyone (at night) who has used multiple acronyms (or the same one repeatedly) throughout the game. Anyone who posts multiple image macros, particularly of buzzwords like a wine glass or that wifom pic, is also fair game.

Keep in mind that your power doesn't have to be used. It is merely another option for you to help police the town.


I read the case and I don't see how you can justify allowing the shot due to meapak not having enough time. That's exactly the kind of reason that makes these triggers arbitrary. Given how many vigs town has, borderline cases should always fall on the side of not allowing the shot.

L unsurprisingly assuming no responsibility for his own lackluster play, both in thread and out of it. He participated in no strategy discussions and then whined about decisions afterwards and immediately aroused suspicion in thread. My scum play is lackluster, but your play was not impressive at all. You don't even understand the dynamics of the voting situation on the day we were trying to get RoL lynched, but that's fine I'm not going to bother.

I didn't really mean to imply that you played poorly, I don't really pay attention to that as scum, especially when the person in question isn't getting us lynched. I just think that there were enough townies suspicious of you for you to be a realistic lynch candidate and your inactivity could have made defending difficult. Unfortunately you shooting a townie at night apparently confirmed you as town to some.

We actually didn't discuss the topic of avoiding triggers and I know I didn't intentionally try to avoid anything. My mafia play always looks like that, which obviously isn't great. I suppose WBG did change his play somewhat.

I also assumed intentionally triggering them would be forbidden so I didn't even bother asking Ver about it. I expected meeting the requirements to be much harder based on my previous experiences with the liar vig.
