I have never played at all but it looks fun, especially after looking at those aperture mafia blogs. I know it won't be as crazy as that game, though. Also, is there a lynch day 1? If so, what are you supposed to base your lynch on because nothing has happened yet? | ||

From what I've gathered in my extremely limited experience with Mafia, people get lynched on Day 1 for a variety of reasons, be it lurking, being a giant asshole, etc. That said, I believe it's rare that the Day 1 lynch is based on really good information. So pretty much people just start talking on Day 1 about whatever, and then people vote based on whatever little info they have. Thanks. | ||

Basically, I think we must lynch someone day 1. | ||

You need the lynch in order to learn information about each person. Even if everyone defends themselves adequately, there are still going to be differing opinions on each player. A lynch is needed in order to find out the true identity of a player. With this information, we can go back and look at their posts in a new light. We can also go back to the discussion about why to vote for this player and glean more information about the other players and motivations. Basically, a lynch is needed in order to get 100% correct information that can hopefully help the investigation. Up until this point, a lot of the investigation is speculation because no facts are known. I also agree with Nova that I am a little suspicious of Solohan50 right now. He seems to favor a no lynch, which I think does much more harm than good. | ||

The reason why I think solo is a little suspicious is because he hasn't said much, but with those few words he has said, he has tacitly supported a no lynch by saying + Show Spoiler + My analysis is based on the Mafia guide that I've been reading which says that lynching Town members generally doesn't give much information. This would be doubly true if we lynch a lurker who hasn't said much, because there's no information about that person. The whole point of the post was to encourage people to post more, so we can avoid having to lynch a lurker. In my eyes, unless we get lucky and the lurker is Mafia, we benefit very little and we're down one more player. Now I am curious about you, though. Why vote for me when it seems that you thought lazer or nova was more suspicious? You also say that your entire argument is based on a gut feeling. + Show Spoiler + On April 16 2012 17:33 Lorant wrote: This suspicion on Crossfire is mainly coming from my gut | ||

You are correct that I read up a little after asking my pregame question. Below is a quote from greymist in Newbie Mini Mafia. The bolded and italicized part is what caught my attention. This is why I came out hard against no lynches. On November 13 2011 15:56 GreYMisT wrote: GreYMisT’s Remarks First off, GJ scumteam with your flawless victory! That being said, there were definatly stuff that could be improved on that I noticed from my perspective. Im not going to look at what town could have done to find you guys, but rather how you guys functioned as a team. The Good: Obviously you won the game without losing a single mafia member. So that’s a plus. Ciryandor also managed to become “confirmed town” pretty much based on his activity level and the length of his posts. IMABUNNEH was also on some peoples town list, and despite everyone thinking near the end of the game that he and xsksc were scum, they somehow managed to avoid a lynch. Overall there was pretty good communitcation in the QT, and everyone was able to agree on a general plan. Mafia was also able to force a no lynch day 1, which is pretty kickass. Also, after night one you forced a LOT of discussion regarding the death of risk, which creates so much WIFOM (ie good for mafia). In response to everyone voting for nova, I am not sure if he is mafia. I know that he spammed a lot in the beginning, and it made him suspicious, but I don't think the mafia would be that obvious. He has been the most active in the thread even if he hasn't done it in the best way possible. He has more than 3 pages of posts in his filter, while everyone else has less than 1 (Lorant might be the exception if you include his posts as fourface, but i'm not sure). Even if he hadn't had about 1 page of spam posts in the beginning, his amount of activity would instantly cause everyone to look at his case closely because he has the most information available to make a judgment about him. Everything about this nova lynch seems like a bandwagon. As for my own thoughts on who to lynch; honestly, I don't know who to vote for because as solohan stated in his thoughts on me, I asked what we are supposed to base our day 1 lynch on during the pregame, and I am still not confident in determining who is scum just from day 1 chat. | ||

You messed up your voting format. It should be double # and bolded. Just a heads up. | ||

Because I've been afk for the last 24 hours, I didn't get a chance to read through everyone's filter after all the votes were counted. Right now I will focus on 2 things: this council thing and Nova, since he seems to be the popular one and the person I feel most confident in my read. Council: I don't understand how this works because only mafia are allowed to have outside communication, so there is no privacy in this council. Also, I feel this council just divides the town into more factions unnecessarily, which isn't good. Nova: I feel that Nova is a loud, opinionated, argumentative townie (no offense Nova). This is evidenced in his abundance of posts, a lot of which seem to be stream of consciousness (not sure I am using that right, but basically spitting out every thought, sometimes many posts consecutively). Because he is also argumentative, he seems to attract the ire of many townsfolk, who misinterpret his actions as having mafia motives. I'll try to do my filter review on everyone before I go to sleep tonight. | ||

Any advice for my play? I know I wasn't too active this game, so I will have to be more active in my next game. Also, that breadcrumbing that Lorant/FF saw was unintentional. I just logically thought that made sense and would have posted that if I was town. | ||
