In response to gumshoe I think withholding information is completely fine. This would mostly affect our blues. If someone is role fishing you and you dont trust them then not giving them information. By ignoring the question or even straight up lying in that instance is fine.

Also I am firmly with the policy lynch all liars however more in the thread then pms. In Arkham City we had Rg lying multiple times in the thread making it hard for the town to get information, and completely discrediting himself. End game the town ended up lynching him Because they could not trust him at all. If he had been gone sooner town would have been better off. Also if we put this policy/guideline in place it will discourage people from blatantly lying, fake roleclaiming, and so on.

Regarding PMs i think that they would be better saved for late game usually. Announcing who you are PMing should be fine. I can see both arguments so it should be up to the individuals discretion although i am leaning on announcing.

This players have not posted in the thread yet. And i suggest we lynch one of them.

As usual, my excuse is being asleep. Daylight Savings is a bitch.

I've read the last two pages (out of the five that have been posted since I left). Not taking sides this early, but I'll try and observe more carefully anything that gets posted today.

As for PM's, if I make it to the late game I'll probably announce after the actual PM, I'm rather fond of ace-in-the-hole arguments.

so can someone explain to me why keeping your talking buddies private is helpful to town?

What i want to know is who people were talking to outside of thread before they die. It seems very helpful to scum to not reveal who they are PM'ing and kill them off if they are suspicious of them and we don't want to hold them accountable for being in talks with them?

That could work both ways. Just because you die after announcing who you're talking to doesn't make them autoscum. In fact, that could be used to ward off suspicion... i.e. you're talking to me, I get shot, then you're talking to another guy, he gets shot, that's going to paint a big target on your forehead.

Nope this is fine. Based on the sample of all of the mafia games i have played i can agree that no town has ever had reason to suddenly change their vote. A fantastic conclusion. Well spotted. though i do wonder what makes his change of target "sudden".

We should really push for annul to be modkilled. It is justified after all. He is active and his filter regardless if he flips green or red will show us the alingment of some people. It's a free lynch he gave us with that edit mistake.


How would him flipping town tell us anything about other players.

That has no logic behind it at all.


If he flips town we get to filter those who targeted him.

some bad formatting this refer to the italics inside the quote. Steveling complains about having to read the thread. In an 80 person game of mafia! He pushes for a modkill on Annul a player he has not addressed until this point!(so he is what a null read with a higher chance of being town than mafia unless steveling's others reads identify a greater proportion of town than mafia) but maybe steveling has a reason to suspect he is mafia.

he doesn't. apparently if he is town and he gets modkilled we can then filter players that targeted him! so you dont care if he is mafia.you also down't care that 2 lynches will happen today and that mafia have at least 8 kp and that all players to be mod-killed thus-far have proved to be town There will be lots more deaths and lots more information. You want to lynch because if we hit a townie then we will gain information to analyse. Specifically we can look at the filters of players who openly called the townie suspicious. You realise that calling him scummy and him getting mod-killed and flipping town wouldn't help us at all, right? And you haven't realised that we can filter those players anyway. but thanks for directing me to your filter, i didn't have a strong scum read until now.it is scummy to want to kill players for information you kill players because they are mafia* there are almost no worse reasons to lynch than "to gain information".he is also experienced and possibly an asset to town

Ok triple post.

The ''All medics target Ace'' is extremely obvious as well for different reasons.
I'm sure mafia would very much like it the town medics would protect only one player so they would get free reign on everyone else.

correct me if another post sum it up better but this is the most concrete thing i could find about palmer being scum. directing blue roles has been discussed to death and 1 inference about one possible result and the intention to get that result is not evidence that a player is scum

Layabout's filter is a big pile of non contributing posts.
Yet he somehow feels motivated to post in length in his dispute with Jackal58(which surprise surprise flipped town) over Palmar.
He now does the same thing standing up for WBG.
WBG has his own history defending Palmar as well.

We are in for a great night gents.

huge unsubstantiated generalisation about my filter. does not back up. criticising my posting at great length at 2 points in the game. heavily implies that jackal being town makes me scum for a "dispute over palmar" i would not decribe it as such even if it were it would not have a bearing on alignment. Criticising a poor argument is apparently standing up for WBG though he provides no source. He then implies that WBG is scum for having a "history" of defending palmar. Steveling is calling 3 players scum and has made very little effort to say why? i may be infering to much here but the inferences i make here are the ones i felt made the most sense in context. I shouldn't have to make so many inferences when a townie is presenting a case for players being mafia.

calls zephhirdd and cheese scumbuddies for a reason that i just cannot comprehend.the point about not backing up the things they say is baffling. would scum play this thoughtlessly?

to conclude there are large number of statements and accusations that are't supported. There is very little use of logic in any of his posts. He has done certain things that do not make sense from the perspective of someone who wants town to win. He also makes frequent excuses and acts in a way that suggest he thinks that clues are they best way of contributing. He votes for palmer and xtfftc and i cannot fathom why he would do so as town. He is pushing weak/ non cases and providing little no to explanation.
He is my strongest mafia read. he could be a very unhelpful and/or bad town. he is the best scum i have

Layabout, I am not sure if you are town or scum, either way you are retarded and I hope to god that someone off's you quickly and you ragequit the mafia forum and I never have to read a post by you again.

@Mr. Wiggles What's your role mate?

@Caller

Excluding the "he used pro-town as the first player" argument, the only argument you have against DoctorHelvetica is that he's supposedly more scary as scum than as town. This is somewhat irrelevant unless we can't find anybody else who is scum + Show Spoiler +
and you're not using "nash equilibrium" right, unless maybe you're using it make your case sound smarter than it actually is
.

It's self contradictory how you're saying "my job is to find scum and lynch them", and then you want to lynch a guy, not because he is scum but because in your opinion he's more scary as scum than as town. How does that make any sense? Why don't you want to lynch into Jitsu and gumshoe? You said at least one of them is scum, that's 50% chance to lynch scum just by dumb luck and a smart guy than you can probably increase those odds.

You should shape up or you are going to get lynched.

oh no no you have my argument wrong

town mafia
don't kill him: 0 -5
kill him: 0 5

as for the latter bit, if you can't see where i'm going with this there's no point in me continuing to explain.

No, it's quite simple.

You say that your job is to lynch mafia. You say that AT LEAST one out of Jitsu and gumshoe are mafia, that's at least 50% chance to hit scum if you just lynch blindly into them. You don't provide any argument as for why DoctorHelvetica is scum. This means that you don't have any reason to think that he's scum outside of the 5/23 chance that he's scum/traitor by dumb luck.

Your little matrix is extremely naïve, borderline dumb.

If you have some secret plan and you rely on all townies to let you go through with it without requiring you to explain yourself, then you are playing mafia wrong. You are a smart guy and you shouldn't be playing mafia wrong. I'm just saying that you need to shape up and if you don't shape up then you're going to get lynched. If you are going to shape up then cool, if not then we have a problem. Or well, at least you have a problem.

We should really push for annul to be modkilled. It is justified after all. He is active and his filter regardless if he flips green or red will show us the alingment of some people. It's a free lynch he gave us with that edit mistake.


How would him flipping town tell us anything about other players.

That has no logic behind it at all.


If he flips town we get to filter those who targeted him.

some bad formatting this refer to the italics inside the quote. Steveling complains about having to read the thread. In an 80 person game of mafia! He pushes for a modkill on Annul a player he has not addressed until this point!(so he is what a null read with a higher chance of being town than mafia unless steveling's others reads identify a greater proportion of town than mafia) but maybe steveling has a reason to suspect he is mafia.

he doesn't. apparently if he is town and he gets modkilled we can then filter players that targeted him! so you dont care if he is mafia.you also down't care that 2 lynches will happen today and that mafia have at least 8 kp and that all players to be mod-killed thus-far have proved to be town There will be lots more deaths and lots more information. You want to lynch because if we hit a townie then we will gain information to analyse. Specifically we can look at the filters of players who openly called the townie suspicious. You realise that calling him scummy and him getting mod-killed and flipping town wouldn't help us at all, right? And you haven't realised that we can filter those players anyway. but thanks for directing me to your filter, i didn't have a strong scum read until now.it is scummy to want to kill players for information you kill players because they are mafia* there are almost no worse reasons to lynch than "to gain information".he is also experienced and possibly an asset to town

best reason i could find on palmar

Ok triple post.

The ''All medics target Ace'' is extremely obvious as well for different reasons.
I'm sure mafia would very much like it the town medics would protect only one player so they would get free reign on everyone else.

correct me if another post sum it up better but this is the most concrete thing i could find about palmer being scum. directing blue roles has been discussed to death and 1 inference about one possible result and the intention to get that result is not evidence that a player is scum

i totally agree with this, he actually acknowledges the existence of uncertainty.

Layabout's filter is a big pile of non contributing posts.
Yet he somehow feels motivated to post in length in his dispute with Jackal58(which surprise surprise flipped town) over Palmar.
He now does the same thing standing up for WBG.
WBG has his own history defending Palmar as well.

We are in for a great night gents.

huge unsubstantiated generalisation about my filter. does not back up. criticising my posting at great length at 2 points in the game. heavily implies that jackal being town makes me scum for a "dispute over palmar" i would not decribe it as such even if it were it would not have a bearing on alignment. Criticising a poor argument is apparently standing up for WBG though he provides no source. He then implies that WBG is scum for having a "history" of defending palmar. Steveling is calling 3 players scum and has made very little effort to say why? i may be infering to much here but the inferences i make here are the ones i felt made the most sense in context. I shouldn't have to make so many inferences when a townie is presenting a case for players being mafia.

Scum buddies much?

calls zephhirdd and cheese scumbuddies for a reason that i just cannot comprehend.the point about not backing up the things they say is baffling. would scum play this thoughtlessly?

to conclude there are large number of statements and accusations that are't supported. There is very little use of logic in any of his posts. He has done certain things that do not make sense from the perspective of someone who wants town to win. He also makes frequent excuses and acts in a way that suggest he thinks that clues are they best way of contributing. He votes for palmer and xtfftc and i cannot fathom why he would do so as town. He is pushing weak/ non cases and providing little no to explanation.
He is my strongest mafia read. he could be a very unhelpful and/or bad town. he is the best scum i have
##Vote steveling


Layabout, I am not sure if you are town or scum, either way you are retarded and I hope to god that someone off's you quickly and you ragequit the mafia forum and I never have to read a post by you again.



vote mattchew

unless somebody claims scum i am killing this guy


lol my first game, and i was scum and i was pissed at the game

I am voting someone because he told me that he disliked me ages ago
I mean, look how scummy he is!
He isn't even trying to derail the thread or bore people to death by beating already dead topics with a stick!


Does anybody think it would be a bad idea to lynch jaybrundage?

i'd just like to say that people who say that we shouldn't lynch people for lying are already thinking about lying. And why would a townie want to lie right now? While their point is valid, they are just running interference for themselves.

gumshoe and jitsu come to mind here. At least one of you is mafia. The other is probably a stupid townie. i say we lynch one of them... after we kill doctor h, of course.

here's why we kill doctor h:

a) doctor h is town
mafia will likely be disorganized this round, so whether or not we kill him this does nothing.
b) doctor h is mafia
we take out mafia and their probable leader.

having played with doctor h numerous times i can tell you that he is a leader type. and if we take out the mafia leader we'd really fuck up the mafia organization and strategy.

tldr: one of jitsu and gumshoe is scum, we should kill doctor h because whether or not he's town or mafia, the worst thing that could happen is that we lose someone who would probably get hit early anyways, whereas at best we would take out somebody that is really essential to a mafia team's strategy.

as for gumshoe:

Jitsu and me could both be town getting pushed into the spotlight or we could both be scum, us being on opposite sides of the field does not say anything about our alignment, jitsu could just be trying to create an ideal town environment and generate discussion and I'm trying to prevent us from forming rock hard policy that can be used against us. so far you've advocated to kill a potential leader(you've said so yourself) and two players who are actively discussing a key note of this particular game(role of pms and honesty), I haven't read any of your old games so I'm not sure if this is what you usually do but I don't think your way is a healthy approach to the game, for instance in your reasoning for lynching doc you only consider him from the perspective that he is a threat, you don't consider the fact that if doc is town he could be of huge aid. Why would you lynch one of our best players because he could be scum?

Also in regard to no lynch vs lynch I really don't want waste our kill point unless theres a really good reason, if we decide right now to no lynch day one the pressure goes off of the mafia and conversation stifles because theres nothing at stake, if we do no lynch it should be a decision we make an hour before the dead line(but not last minute because if we have a suspect that were just about to lynch but we leave alive he will remain a weak point for town that mafia can continuously attack for good reason)

Caller whats your stance on a no lynch vs lynch and a lynch dead line?

you're wifoming like shit
nobody cares about an "ideal town environment" and "discussion" and "against us"
i alerady explained why doctorh should be lynched bro, nash equilibrium look it up
and finally i don't give a shit about policy. my job is to find mafia and get them killed. anything else is pointless.

It's not an arbitrary list. It's a list of those I would call DocH's equals in ability and leadership. Yet you single out DocH for apparently no reason at all. Or at least a reason that can be applied to those on my "arbitrary" list. Forgive me for saying so but your reasoning is based purely on bullshit. When asked you simply produce more bullshit.
You have my vote sir.

Caller, do you actually have any other reasons to vote DrH besides that he said 'pro-town', and that you want to and think that there's no downside to doing so? Also, I don't see why there'd be no net loss from killing him if he's town, as from my own experience, he's capable of scumhunting.

I wouldn't mind a jaybrundage lynch right about now.

I would suggest everyone keeping at least 1 PM target unused for now so if we get a confirmed Townie we can set up a Town circlejerk.

It was instrumental to Town winning PYP:I and has played a big role in almost all PM-enabled games. Once you get several competent Town players to form a circle where they can coordinate and bounce ideas off each other Town becomes exponentially more productive.

Sorry can we please not call it a town circle jerk? As for wether its feasible, if you lay out your pms well you can have a group of five where everyone can contact everyone within that group of 5, wether it should be done for fear of spys is a separate issue, personally I feel if we can set up two groups of 5 consisting of solid townies I don't think both groups will be compromised, one large group though where people aren't sure who their contacts are talking to is just begging to be smashed. So if we do establish a circle it has to be organized perfectly to ensure the maximum amount of potential/manageable communication. I'm for it if we do groups of 5 where everyone can keep tabs on each other otherwise its best just to have a pm open with someone you trust and one in reserve for trap/emergency purposes like curu suggested.

lol you are asking him if an idea he proposed is something he believes in. Pretty pointless question. Ultimately no one is going to listen to any convoluted plans we make for PMs anyways so discussing it too in depth is pretty useless. Towns have proven time and time again that they refuse to be part of a complex majority-driven plan, believing that how they personally choose to use their roles/PMs/whatever is the right way. And in a way I agree, the effort and time wasted trying to set up these plans that have little merit anyways usually fail. We can make general suggestions and tips on how we think the PM system's benefits can be maximized but trying to establish and enforce something strict and complex is a waste of time.

I agree with your idea of lynching jaybrundage though layabout but could you give your reasoning behind it?

Caller is trolling, mafia shouldn't be that scared of me to push me day 1 for no reason because I often back off my correct reads if I get distracted.

It's up to an individuals discretion whether or not they share who they are PMing with, policy lynching someone for not doing it is stupid. Also, town circles could be set up so that somebody can claim DT to someone they confirm and then use that person to broadcast their reads, or a tracker/watcher/etc. That can be useful. In that case the last thing you want is everyone saying who they are with.

Jackal58 is being a bit silly with what Wiggles and people like that are saying. His point is that scum know who town is and because of that they can cut down any circles that arise that they aren't directly involved in themselves. Especially it would be dangerous for someone to say "i'm pming with A B C and D" and then later come out and say "I'm PMing the DT and..." when say, B and C are dead or something. It's up to an individual to share their PM targets or not.

Gumshoe is posting a lot and very focused on town circles and such. For that reason, I'm voting for him. He has 2 pages of filter all completely disconnected from finding scum. The way you're probing Caller looks as though it would be helpful, but doesn't actually lead to anything. It's wishy washy, I feel like it's the kind of thing that scum would feel they can't ignore but don't want to commit to Caller if he's town. That'll satisfy me for now, it's pretty likely I'll come up with something better or that Gumshoe will just make himself look worse

Role Reverser: does this last only one cycle? Or for one action? Or is it permanent?
Hide Flip: Can this be used on lynch targets? Is there a period of time in which the target must die after use of the ability in order for his flip to be hidden or, once designated, does the target, regardless of whatever time they die, have their flip hidden no matter what?
