As town you want to pick people who already appear town or are very likely to put enough effort into the game to make themselves look innocent later. Then even if you pick a spy, you can easily figure out who it is. Pretty obvious, but the second point is important

Just wanted to provide an outsider's point of view:

In Resistance, one of the most effective ways to gain information is through the voting process. In fact, once the players become more experienced with the game, it is very common to go through multiple leaders each day.

I was going to post some guides before the game began, but no one seemed interested enough.

Also, the pre-emptive voting mechanic worked against town. You should never be comfortable enough to give up your vote so easily.

Anyway, good game everyone and I hope to be able to get selected for the next one.

I was interested! I even posted links to other forum games of Resistance! D:

Sadly, I do know it.

Also I'd like to announce that my last scum game on MafiaScum ended in a perfect scum victory, making me completely undefeated as scum on that site. /flex

Yes, it's pretty weird how little attention was given to voting patterns as this game is all about them. Haven't actually looked at voting so not sure how relevant they would have been in this specific game

Good game guys, next time you should try to be a little more active. I can see how judging people (like zona or jackal) is hard when there's so little information. I don't think scum did well, not at all, but we were able to do whatever we wanted to do, given that nothing was happening.

Yeah, I saw that. There weren't any other comments so I thought I wouldn't interfere. It seemed like most players were new and I thought it would be best to just let everyone figure it out. However, if I were in the game and Town, I would definitely have posted! =)

Radfield's accusations of me were all terrible, and the fact that he tunneled me didn't help. I didn't think he had a good reason, and I honestly still don't. It didn't make sense to me that, as a town player, Rad would grab someone who had made a "scumslip" AND be following my pattern BUT not admit it. The fact that he went after me rather than Palmar later on only further convinced me.

Also, I don't know why everyone was obsessed with passing the first team that came by day 1, or that it's scummy not to do so. I saw a team that looked suspicious, so I nayed it.

Toad, sorry for calling you out. I thought I could make the most plausible case against you.

I was trying to keep Palmar as a townie, so it was easier to paint you as scum than VE or greymist.

MafiaScum VETS are bad. They instill bad habits in the newbs. If MafiaScum vets had HALF the skill of this site's vets, that site would be a lot more fun to play on.

You had no valid reason for calling it suspicious, and it included yourself.

Dude I totally did! The fact that I was wrong about radfield doesn't mean it wasn't a weird way he went about things. In fact, he was suspicious enough that Zona thought he was scum.

ok another post from me:
The point is that you did a mistake d1 but that mistake was nothing like a scumslip. It was a mistake like everyone could have done and frankly that's probably even a slight townread unless you know the guy does some mistakes on purpose to look like that because mafia is checking their posts.
You looked like a guy putting some effort in this game and at the same time you looked like a new guy who isn't playing perfectly d1. That's a townie most times.

Blaze your reason for suspecting Rad was ludicrous. It was the determining factor in my suspicion of you. The sooner you realize that, the sooner you'll start improving your play.

First of all, there's no information in D1. As a townie, you should be PRAYING to be picked for the night team. PRAYING TO WHATEVER GOD YOU BELIEVE IN. Why? Because as you so accurately (and repeatedly) pointed out: there's a 35% chance of picking a scum for the N1 mission. And if the leader picks you, that number goes down DRASTICALLY, right? To something like 12%? I don't know the math, I'm not a scientist. What I do know is that you nay-voted a team that included you and that was bad. BAD Blaze.

Zona was wrong quite a bit this game, and no, until you can prove that something about his teammaking was weird, you don't have a valid reason to oppose it.

Oh, I want to be picked for a night team because the chance of scum for an N1 mission goes from like enormous to small. But something felt off about the way Radfield made his post. If you think the guy who's picking you is scum, IF YOU REALLY THINK THAT, are you still gonna vote yay?

Obviously if I am unsure I will vote nay. But I thought he was scum. There IS information D1, and that's how Radfield picked me. He read me as town. I read him as scum, and so I tried to "unpick" him by voting nay and passing leadership to the next leader.
