Make sure you reread the entire thread after each person is flipped each day and night, factoring in their now-revealed alignment. . Always question what someones motive is, why are they doing something. Same advice that was passed to me after my first game, get more aggressive, youll get what your looking for a lot faster. Either youll figure out theyre town, like i did with SS, or youll figure out theyre mafia, like with Chocolate. | ||

 I'm guessing that the Cosmos green read influenced DoYouHas's choice to go for Zarepath on day 2. Note that town ended night 1 with three blues in the top four night kill targets, and therefore got very lucky with the night actions. The fault is with the vanilla townies for not contributing more. As a vanilla, it's your duty to be townier than anyone else, particularly in a setup where blues are so important. Try to be open, transparent and without fear. In the long run, a wrong accusation is a lot better than no accusation at all. | ||

I definitely sucked, I was afraid to post analysis because I was certain I would make a scumslip and I didn't know exactly what to look for. | ||

I definitely sucked, I was afraid to post analysis because I was certain I would make a scumslip and I didn't know exactly what to look for. The trick there is to post your analysis in your scum QT and let your scumbuddies take a look at it before you post it in the thread. When you're mafia, you need to think of your teammates as more of a resource. Your advantage is that you can communicate, so it's important that you do that as much as possible. I liked that your team was carefully discussing defenses and hits, but I was a little disappointed that you weren't checking each others' posts before you made them, especially in the early game. I think doing that would have allowed your members to gain a lot more thread presence, which would have made the loss of zarepath (who represented most of your thread presence) a lot easier to handle. Also, it might have kept zarepath from getting lynched at all. | ||

Zarepath defended FakePromise using the argument that if he was scum, his buddies would have helped him more. 2. Zarepath's scumbuddies would surely have modified that FakePromise defence post if they'd seen it beforehand. | ||

I definitely sucked, I was afraid to post analysis because I was certain I would make a scumslip and I didn't know exactly what to look for. Ahaha, I looked at both mafia and obs QTs and it seems that most of my reads were lucky / illogical / confirmation bias (Zarepath, zelblade, Simberto). I was worried that I might be killed, and since I couldn't heal myself, I tried to act as fearless as possible, hoping to give off a veteran vibe and not get shot. I guess it worked out in a different way than I intended  .I think you could have posted stuff on zelblade or cosmos or simberto or anyone. For instance, I posted a lot of stuff (most of it would turn out wrong) but it is more suspicious to not even try to contribute, which is why I think Adam read you as mafia. That's my guess anyways. If SacredSystem stopped tunneling Zelblade (leading me to think he was detective and kicking my confirmation bias into overdrive) I would have gone for you with this reasoning. | ||

From there i figured pretty quickly that you were indeed mafia, and even further that you were worried that anything you posted was going to be heavily scrutenized. Next time just come out firing, tunnel the crap out of someone. Take a look at EchelonTee in Wiggles Mini Mafia, he was correctly identified as scum on day 2, in response he chose a target (GiygaS), and just dug right into him. The town convinced themselves that no scum would be so brazen to just hammer into someone like that, that they cleared him and went on to myslynch GiygaS and lose the game. Still dont see what all of you saw in zarepath to be 100% sure he was scum O.o, I mean he did some scummy things sure, but some of the stuff he was doing flew right in the face of conventional scum play. None of the cases really highlighted why he was so scummy that he needed to die day 2. Hats off to you zarepath, you might have been the first scum dead, but you had me fooled =) | ||

Any ideas on how to pull that around or is it simply too late? I mean as Jitsu said in our QT by the end of day 1 you could step back and see who was scum pretty clearly. From there on in it was an uphill struggle. I guess the vig shot and town saves really finished us off. I just want to improve for next game and the take home lessons I have so far are Team Check posts before posting Be more proactive day 1/2 so you don't end up with everyone on the end of the wagon. Anything else? | ||

Probulous, you were so good in your first game (thread presence, logic), that seeing your utter lack of effort here was obvious, if meta comes into play. Having good town play is obviously good, maybe even preferrable, but then you'll need to develop some sort of scum game that doesn't so heavily contradict :p Clutch medic save was huge deciding point. Adam, still hard to read. I thought you were being clever scum for a while. Chocolate, a good way to avoid suspicion, strangely enough, is to be brazen with your reads. State your opinions strongly, even if wrong, and people will notice that you're not afraid. In TL Mafia L I was laughably wrong on my reads, but my committment to my fail reads meant people didn't think I was trying to manipulate the game. | ||
