Okay, I see that while I was typing my last post out on my phone, Hassybaby posted a case on me. Since I have my phone out and the thread loaded, and since a numbe of people have been speculating about me, I figure I might as well post something now.
First, I won't deny that I've been goofing around a bit. (I mean, obviously.) I've been trying to get into the spirit of the bastard game, as well as to mix up my posting style from my first game, newbie mafia 6 (which we just won as town). However, unlike layabout, the only times I've been accusing people without meaning it has been for accusations that we're obviously fake - eg, the sleeper cell stuff, when there is clearly no sleeper cell in this game. My posts about the chart and about Bagmanager are legit - I think that we should be suspicious of Bagmanager since he's lurking a lot and is probably a smurf of some veteran player, and the reason I've been posting about the protection arrow mechanics is that I think the town can gain a big advantage by figuring out the aspects of the game mechanics which we don't entirely understand yet.
This is my second game, and my first with a suspicious and/or closed setup; so I guess vets could know things that I don't about whether speculating about mechanics tends not to e productive or tends to be a scum tell. However, it seems to me at this point that it could be productive for the town.
Now, Hassybaby didn't really bring this up but other people have, so as long as I'm here I might as well clarify what I'm talking about with the "Lost survivor" stuff. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that the flavor indicated that survivors and town are similar groups. From the people who have posted their win conditions so far, it seems like a common win condition is to keep one of a list of players alive. If this list contains the player themselves, the it seems reasonable to classify that player as a "survivor." However, this seems like a very town-ish win condition to me - regardless of whether or not it is combined with an official town win condition. In other words, survivors with a protect list such as seems likely to exist in this game both list-based town and list-based survivors should be trying as hard as they can to get the killers out of the picture.
I'm not going to say whether I'm a "survivor" or "town" at this point. I hope you all agree that that's reasonable; if I admit to being town I become a night kill target whereas if I admit to being a "third party" survivor I become a lynch target. What I will say is that the "third party" survivors and the "town" players are fundamentally aligned in that they are likely to lose if the killers (sk and/or scum) win.
As an aside, please excuse me if I post slowly and get ninja'd a lot; I tend to post on my smartphone, which is a lot slower than on a pc. This happened to me a lot in the newbie game that just finished, as well.

I had you as scum before, but seing a faulty analisys that in the end just softly accuses 4 different people (two of whom accused you) while clearing everyone else just made up my mind.
The speculation at LYLO is pointless until we know the endgame condition, which we will find out at the next day post. There is no traditional mafia win condition to outnumber town, so I suspect LYLO will not be possible to reach. It's possible that you are right; however as I said above, it seems like a category of survivors in this game have protect lists, in which case their motivation should be to reduce total KP in the game rather than to avoid attracting attention.

I agree with sbrubbles that this post is bad. First he writes that he wants to assume that everyone is either town or survivor. But then he contradicts himself by never looking at the posts of VE, Bagman, E3 and Sbrubbles from that perspective. Instead he talks about how everyone else is either town or survivor (sometimes without reasoning) and then concludes that those 4 leftovers must be scum. Please? I just thought he assumed there is no scum?
There is a second problem with that. We should not try to find town and conclude that everyone else is scum. Instead we try to find scum by looking at what people posted and how they behave. And town lists are stupid. They just give good targets to scum for their nightkills by killing of the townies that are most trusted.
Also, 6 survivor candidates? Making me and Drazerk possible survivors because of our wincon? Missing Macheji in his analysis? This doesn't really add up.
And finally I also agree with sbrubbles that survivors at LYLO are a liability. We should get rid of survivors at some point, and should we really be unable to find a good lynch target, I'd happily lynch the claimed survivor D1.

Yeah, I mentioned that on another post. I'd rather lynch scummy-looking people instead of claimed survivors at least until the endgame condition is revealed (though even afterwards the priority would still be on lynching scum, of course). Still, I highly doubt survivors will be pro-town; their win condition is to wait out the game, not hunt scum. Also, based on the two posts above, I assume you're a survivor. Am I right?

Phagga, aren't you being hypocrital? You're claiming survivor and advising to eventually get rid of survivors at some point? Wtf?

where did I claim survivor?

The reason I'm dwelling on the survivor question is that my earlier posts about the "surivors" on the tv show "Lost" led people to believe that I'm a survivor. I wanted to clarify that I think both town and survivors should be focused on reducing kp in the game by finding scum, and I went into detail as to why.
From the posts earlier in the thread, I suspect a majority of players have a similar win condition (keep one of a list of players alive).
I think this question of survivors is important for the town since there is probably a larger-than-usual number of survivors in this game - going again from the flavor and from the fact that we already have one claimed survivor in the game.

This means you have an alternate win condition as a survivor (if you have another interpretation for the "me" in that list I'd like to hear it). Whether this means you're a threat to town or not will hinge on the endgame condition, though (and, of course, if your play is pro-town, which so far I feel it is).
What do you know, I was wrong. Claiming win cons did have an advantage!

Sbrubbles, why don't we wait until we know how the game ends? I'm sure town gets something along the lines of "all scum needs to be dead". As I am town, and not survivor, I will then need all scum dead as well to win. So I am not a survivor, also not a town survivor or whatever. All it means is that I don't autowin when town wins, but only when one player out of a group of five is also alive.
|
also, can we please return to hunting scum?
|
also also, I would like to point out to sbrubbles that I also win if I dead, the game ends and (e.g.) sbrubbles is still alive. That does not sound like a survivor to me...
now back to scumhunting plz.

It doesn't have to be alternate. The "town" win condition and the "one member of group survives" win condition can be combined - both have to happen for Phagga (or whoever) to win.
