Hey all,

This is my first game on this site, but I have played WW elsewhere so I'm not a total newbie.

First off, with regards to No-Lynch, this is a very bad idea. We have 2 kills a day as of right now, the vig and the lynch, by negating a kill we are automatically giving the wolves an edge by not taking advantage of our kill-rate. Also, even though a villager is more likely to be lynched, the information we gain via wagon analysis, late vote changes etc. becomes very valuable as we progress through the game.

And a random question: Is there any way to get more posts per page? Right now mine is set to default and couldnt find a way to make me see more posts. Idk if it's possible.

Hey guys!

This is my first game of maifa, but i have been following other games a bit. I also think that the "no lynch" option could prove useful early in the game to avoid misslynch. The other game i was following misslynched on the first day simply because they didn't have enough information.



Someone already pointed this out and I've already stated my position but I'd like to take it a step further,

I find this post very wolfy, more so than Varient or however you spell his name who said the same thing essentially, because you aren't thinking deeper. You say in the other game they mislynched on the first day because they didn't have enough information, but how do we expect to gain information if we "No Lynch"? Day 2 will essentially be a repeat of day 1.

Also, Voting early and often leads to profit,

for lynching on day 1 you need to be about 50% sure for it to be profitable in the long run. so we should probably do it, but you just have to wait and see. right now obviously I'm not 50% sure on anyone.


I don't know where you got these percentages from. But they are not correct.

No idea.

But if Village correctly lynches 50% of the time, they win 100% of the time.

Its closer to 33% and that's over the entire game and the chances gradually increase as the game goes on of lynching a villager.

so by town wins 100% do you mean not 100%?
This is the most obvious example possible and only relies on town losing the first 50/50 flip and not hitting any major power roles to create a loss scenario.


I've never heard of a 12er. but in your example your point is proven

But your chances of hitting a wolf increase as you go, there's no way in order to break even you need to hit a wolf 50% day 1

@Golden, Well for as early as it is on d1, I think my vote is fine. I'm not set in stone in lynching him, when he comes back and addresses the pressure, I will re-evaluate and go on from there.

His vote on me can't be do to lurking or it makes no sense. Why would he not vote the guy who hasn't posted yet if that was his reasoning?

I didn't really address the vote on me because I thought it was a joke vote, his reasoning that went along with it are because werewolves are gay, which isn't really much to respond to.

That said I'm willing to say Yomi is a villager albeit misguided because a wolf wouldn't vote me in that spot.

The other guys vote on me, Nreekay, is super sketch though.

And Golden has used very long posts to hide the fact that he isn't taking stances in any of his posts. I don't think it's hard to take a stance on something, and the fact that he isn't shows that he doesn't want to be "wrong", wolves worry about that stuff, villagers don't.

Give people time to get in here. If they still don't show up towards the end of day then we can go after them. Lurkers make for easy mislynches and let wolves avoid heat.

Whysomuch,

I am not shrouding the fact that I havent taken any stances in fact i have made it very clear. I fully plan on making my opinions even more clear when I come up with a case. I am just not jumping to any conclusion this early in the game, before I get my facts straight. I write long posts as I don't want to be misquoted from short one liners.

Also, do you feel that my posts have been contentless or have I been helpful in analyzing the current voting against you and the others?

Golden


I know you have said you are going to make stance but you have yet to do so.

Someone voted me with lame reasoning, you can either find that wolfy or find that villagery. If they don't add any context then you have to figure out what that means. It's not that you don't have all the facts, you do have all the facts. But from that you aren't drawing conclusions.

@WhySoMuch - we are townies on a spaceship with 3 mafia hiding amongst us. There are no villagers, there are no wolfs. Keep referencing these and I will assume you are insane and request for you to be thrown out the airlock.

You can quote multiple people in the same post by using copy and paste. Quote post, copy, then paste into another link. Not hard. Click the "all" button next to the page numbers to see all pages. Surely you aren't this blind and asked these inane questions to clutter up the thread for some reason?


Villagers/wolves, Townies/mafia, all the same, I will do my best to reference them as such but if I make a mistake here or there I'm sorry, I have it ingrained in me that it's villagers/wolves

As for the second, thank you for explaining, though you didnt need to do it with a condescending tone. From the forum I'm from, it is laid out very different than this forum and so yes I needed to figure out how you do it.

Why? Would miss-lynching a townie make you happy? What makes you think we don't get information from No Lynch winning the vote?


Lol no it wouldn't make me happy, but the information we gain from it outweighs the negative.

We don't get information from No Lynch because no one dies. The only way we get information is if there is a competing wagon against it, and in that case, that information isn't useful until that said competing wagon dies.

The information we gain today (whether we push a lynch on a suspected scum, a lurker or a no lynch) all provides us information based on who votes for what, and the reasons why. It's not always clear on Day 1 what this information means, and the game cannot be won or lost on Day 1.

If there are no solid scum reads (with supporting cases), and no clear lurker lynch, then why push a lynch on a possible townie? Then we are one townie down and giving an advantage to the scum.

So I'd say regardless of what or who is voted for, we gain information.

So considering you are pushing for a lynch regardless, who is your strongest scum read? The_Zen_Man?


But see by forcing people to vote for players we catch them in contradictions. No Lynch is a cop out vote, It gives everyone an excuse. "I didn't find xxx wolfy therefore I vote No Lynch". This is incredibly bad for the village. Where, if we have two competing wagons for the lead, people have to make decisions on who to vote for, a lot of times people forget what they wrote in earlier posts and will make votes contradicting their posts. This is invaluable information that we are giving up.

Say we do lynch a townie, but the wagons are close and later on in the game, the counter-wagon flips wolf, we learn so much more.

Plus on top of that, How is the village suppose to win this game if we don't use our kills? By No lynching we are essentially playing down a man from the start.

Ok, we get very little information. We mine as well just make a longer day 1 and allow the wolves to kill whoever if we are going to no lynch. We get no extra information that we wouldn't have already have. Regardless if we no lynch or lynch someone we get to see where people stand and their views, that doesn't change if we lynch someone.

if we no lynch today literally I will be in shock

First, i would like to say that the reason for the time it took for this respond is beacause school/sleep. Im currently still in school, but i found time to post this.

WhySoMuch: I understand that my first post would seem suspicous, but i think u misunderstood me. I simply don't want a lynch just for the sake of lynch. If we have information, or if we are sure we would gain some information by lynching then we should do it. But if we just lynch someone because we don't have anyone else, that would probably result in a townie dead. Early in the game that kind of information might not be available, that is why i said nolynch could be useful early. Also, i understand that u voted for me to pressure me to respond, but if you still choose to keep voting on me you should give me a better explination.

I can't post for a few hours, but when i get home i will post some more including my thouhts on some other people.


This whole post just seems off to me.

Like you think this is what a townie would say

But a few things:

1st underline: we gain information by lynching someone, it's not an "if", I am 100% sure we gain knowledge by lynching anyone today. And if your a townie you should realize this, as of yet no one has implied we don't gain knowledge by lynching someone except you.

2nd underline: We don't ever lynch someone just cause, that just doesn't happen. We lay out our views and decide who seems most likely to be a mafia and we vote them.

Whysomych: In your 1st underline you write that i should know that we gain knowledge by lynching someone if i was a townie, which dosen't make sense to me. If i had or did not have that knowledge before would not really define wether im a townie or not, as anyone with experience in the game would know that. But your post before that makes sense now that i think about it. Who people vote for during the lynch, and how they act before is valuable information. Im very new to this game and i am sill figuring it out, so if i acted suspicous it is only because of that. Also, if i was scum i would push for a lynch rather that nolynch, as scum can easily go undetected in the early game and let us lynch a townie.

If u have further concern regarding me, please express them so that i can answer them.



It's more of a way a villager thinks, like everyone intuitively knows that we get more knowledge as we lynch someone but wolves tend to not use "deeper" logic.

I will lay off of you for now though, I still have you as a wolf though.

It might be Yomi's playstyle but it doesn't take away that just voting for the heck of it is a bad thing.

It really isn't though. No one was talking about anything before. Now they are talking about someone. It's not instant majority or anything so no one was ever in danger of being lynched. Voting is a good thing, everyone should vote early and vote often. It makes it tougher for mafia if they can't just fit in and vote really late. Mafia prefer if everyone votes late so they can fit in with other late voters and just bandwagon on to whatever case is best for them.


Yeah, pretty much +1 to this post.

I didn't care that he voted me, I figured it was just an early throwaway vote to gage a reaction Hence I really don't think yomi's vote on me was wolfy at all.

Wolves don't make those type of votes, it's nreekay's vote on me that is sketch. Still waiting for him to come back and see what he has to say

If i have seemed inactive, i will try to make up for it now. Below i will give my opinions on a few players.

WhySoMuch: I still find it strange that you were so aggresive towards me early in the game after i had only posted one post. I also find it strange that you barely mentioned Veriat who's first post was very similliar to mine. Said this before, but can you please explain you're actions here? Also, why didn't you aske yomi for further explination on his vote on you? Instead you voted on me and had some few posts where you conversed with yomi. This also seemed strange to me. Please explain.



There were differences in his post that made me less suspicious of him. For example when you said "The village mislynched SIMPLY because they did not have enough information".

This is just worded weirdly and extra careful.

As for being aggressive, that's what I do, I don't wait til an hour left in the game to make my thoughts known. You made a post that I thought was weird, so I called you out on it. It forces conversation and gets discussion going.

As for why I didn't vote or pressure yomi, because I didn't feel he needed it. I knew what he was doing, and I felt he was coming from a town's perspective, if I had felt otherwise I would have pressured him.

@Yomi, again, it is second nature for me to right Villagers/Wolves, I have to consciously think town/mafia.

I'm getting an off read on WhySoMuch, I don't really understand it so just going to post my thoughts in case someone else can make something out of it.

So we're playing a newbie game here, for people who've played 3 or less games. yet here he is so ingrained in his Wolves/Villages thing that he can't even proof read his posts to change it to reflect the fact we're playing Mafia here, on the TL mafia forums, in which everyone else is referencing mafia/scum and townies? How many games do you have to have played to get it that ingrained in your head? And after its been mentioned by a few people, why wouldn't he make any effort to do something about it?

Yet his posts seem well thought out and carefully worded.

He goes on and asks the most basic fundamental questions that can be answered by using the tiniest bit of logical thought (how to quote posts and view more posts on a page), which doesn't line up with the fact that his posts seem to be well thought out and logical.

I don't trust him. It's like he's playing this naive, simpleton role here so that he won't come under suspicion.


It's the same game, Y'all call it Mafia, We call it Werewolf. It's the same principal and I'm really confused why people are so caught up on it. This is newb game for people that have played 3 or less games ON THIS SITE. That is why I signed up for it, to get a feel for THIS SITE. So many things are different, such as requiring a Majority to lynch someone, that I think it was best to play a game like this before trying out the non-newb games. I have played over 100 games on the other forum using wolve/villager lingo, so to answer your question about 100 games to get it ingrained.

I am making an effort, every time you see the word Mafia or Town most likely I had to go back and erase wolf/villager. However sometimes I forget.

I didn't ask how to quote posts, I asked how to quote multiple posts, because on the other site, I can click a button and it will multi-quote for me. THis forum did not have it, and I was wondering what people usually do instead. As for the "All" button I probably should have figured that out, but again, on the other forum there is an option to change posts per page from 25 to 100.

Also Veriat, as Pure-SC2 said, please tell me what about me is "fishy".

Whysomuch, could you give me a explanation to your vote?


I have explained my vote a gazillion times already. Just because I vote you again doesn't mean I have to have different reasons than before.

I am confused though, because Veriant looks extremely bad right now. Like all his reads are justs sponges and he has no original thought, so I'm pretty sure he's a wolf. Which means you likely aren't a wolf.

That takes the count up to 4 on AcecAnoka I believe.


I was actually going to say the same thing, but the people on Aces seem more villagey then the people on veriat.

I think I like a veriat lynch better than an aces lynch tbh though.

Golden, Mordanis, Lazer: Would you be willing to switch to Veriat? The_Zen has posted his case, and also if you go back and read his posts on your own, what do you think?

Yeah, the more I think about it, I don't like a Aces vote because:

1) He is showing a thought process, albeit a misguided one, It's there and it's hard for new wolves to show a thought process

2) Overall tone of his posts, I didn't get the feeling that he was being overly defensive when people were calling him scummy, and he didn't lash out back at them calling them a mafia. Which I think is pretty townie of him to do

On the other hand I do have a mafia read on Veriat, he looks really bad right now.

Ok i know i have the lowest post count, but be mindfull that this is my first forum mafia game. And the reasoning behind my "only agreeing and disagreeing" posts, is because many of my thoughts have already been posted, so posting it again would just be repition, which most of the posts in the earlier pages pretty much were. And each time i go to check on the game, it has expand with a few pages, so there's been a lot of information to go through. So (watch out another agreement!) i would agree that i indeed do look very scummy atm.

But this was just an explanation on my behavior, i'll have my analysis posted soonish.


We need rto hear your thoughts. It is important that we know where you stand on people talked about in the thread, even if someone has already said it. I highly doubt you are having the same exact thoughts on the same people for the same reasons, and you can always add to the discussion by stating your thoughts.

The 2nd underlined, idk, I dont like the fact that you added the stuff in the perenthesis, just seems unecessary but meh, this post isn't wolfy, but putting this with the following post makes it look really bad.

Ok here are my thoughts on who are the scum:

The_Zen_Man You're stance on the "lynch no lynch" discussion has left me a little puzzled, and your overall playstyle seem fishy to me, so you're getting my vote.

nreekay324 All your posts just seem off and scummy. Many of them seem rushed or flawed, and you basically just jumped the bandwagon with your early vote on Why_So_Much. On a side note i did find Why_So_Much's playstyle kind of off, but i don't think he's scum, because then why would you vote for him?

Jailbreaker You've my number 3 due to consistent flaws in your previous posts.


Your reasoning on The_Zen man is his stance on the "lynch no lynch" was the same exact stance you had. So idk why that would make you think he's a mafia. You see I could think that, cause we have opposing views on the matter, but you two were both on the side of "no lynch" so that doesn't make sense.

Your reasoning on nreekay, you called my playstyle off therefore why is it unreasonable for someone to vote me? How can I have an off play style and not be considered a mafia? That part is contradicting.

Your 3rd mafia read, Jailbreaker, I'm just calling shenanigans on this, why don't you point out the flaws?

Overall, there were no original thoughts in his reads and they were all sponges, which make sense because that's what he said in his earlier post. But what DOESN'T make sense, is that his sponges don't match his posts. His reasoning doesn't match up with what he says earlier, meaning that he is sponging just to sponge and not thinking about it.

Also, Veriat, Who are your town reads at the moment.

Town reads are more important than Mafia reads.

Golden, Mordanis, Lazer: Would you be willing to switch to Veriat? The_Zen has posted his case, and also if you go back and read his posts on your own, what do you think?


Veriat is my current 3rd scum-read, i would be happy to see him lynched. His behaviour and activity level isn't great as stated by several of the others. I cannot tell if he is town or mafia, but as a lurker i find him useless in the debate. In his inactivity lies his downfall, however with AcesAnoka and Nreekay it is their activity that has brought about my suspicions. Which leads me to question everyone in particular those voting for Veriat. If it comes down to AcesAnoka and Veriat do we lynch the flip-flop impulse voters who lurk and post fluff, or the absent veriat who 'stands firm' in his vote with the_zen_man and has otherwise done little.

I will change votes only until you can show me AcesAnoka is less of a threat than Veriat.


a very sleepy Golden.


This post is hella sketch.

Your happy to see him lynched but you won't vote him?

As far as I know only 1 person is voting him becuase of his lack of activity. I am not. When he has been in the thread, his posts have been extremely wolfy as I and others have pointed out.

If Veriat flips mafia, then I think it looks really good for Aces, Mafia wouldn't let two of their own become the top two wagons I don't think.

WhySoMuch,

What's 'hella sketch' about my post exactly if you don't mind me asking?

I've already stated the reasoning behind my lynch vote for AcesAnoka, I personally find his activity to be alot more suspicious than the inactivity which is what is making Veriat a suspect.

"Your happy to see him lynched but you won't vote him?" is answered here "I will change votes only until you can show me AcesAnoka is less of a threat than Veriat."

I will vote for him if we need too, but answer me this. Is Veriats 'wolfy' posts more detrimental to the team than AcesAnoka's?

Everyone please pay note to the response to this:
@WhySoMuch What is your read on me? Is my steadfast view on AcesAnoka more 'hella sketch' than your own flip flop voting? 3 Votes in such a short period has me curious.

Golden


I explained in my post why it was sketch. You saying you won't change your vote to Variat even though you are happy to see him lynched.

There are no detrimental posts, idk what you mean by that. Are Veriats posts more scummy than Aces? Yes, a lot more.

The bolded: Why are you so against voting him, like it's going to pain you to vote him, but if it's absolutely necessary you will when you said you would be happy to see him lynched. It doesn't make sense. If Veriat flips mafia, I am coming after you for being his partner.

And to answer your bolded question:

My read on you is that you are a mafia if Veriat flips mafia. Yes your steadfast view on Aces is more sketch than me flip flopping, what is so bad about flip-flopping? I'm showing I'm analysing posts in real time and drawing conclusions, then going back rereading and switching my stance. You are hesistant to vote someone you are "happy to lynch" and that's what makes your steadfast stance scummy.

Regardless of the outcome of the lynch, I think today was very productive.

There's a core group of villagers emerging, and there's been good discussion. On top of that, we are lynching someone that most people are agreeing on.

Overall Very Good Day One. Now lets hope we got the right person.

Yomi also looks sorta good, idk how he plays and if he likes to bus or not, but he shouldn't be voted today

Golden was forced to vote him so he doesn't look any better and I would say he is a mafia with Veriat

@WhySoMuch.

You seem to be confusing reserved play as defensive play.

Since we have started i have maintained an outlook preferring to take in the whole picture and analyse play before making any judgment. I think my play is an asset to the town as it can be easy to slip into the habit of following the play in real time and perhaps missing key points. I classify this as a more reserved style than defensive.

To justify my position on a delayed vote switch to Veriat: since the beginning i have been pro-D1-lynch, it has been established that it is important in uncovering motives and gets the ball rolling in regards to seeing allegiances within the group. I did quite a bit of analysis on the players Nreekay324 and AcesAnoka finding them to be scummy, with my reserved playstyle i found that changing to a last minute change to Veriat was something i had to consider. I had to weigh up the benefits of the D1-lynch, and the groundwork that i had done on the previous two players.

Well we got a mafia with our first lynch, that's perfect! We all have some re-reading of Day 1 to do.

I welcome you coming after me WhySoMuch i have nothing to hide.

Golden


I don't know where your getting the terms "reserved" and "defensive" from. I never called your play either of those things.

I don't understand what your trying to say in your middle paragraph either. But you said you would be "Happy if Veriat was lynched" yet you did not vote him until it was clear that Aces was not going to be lynched and only then did you grudgingly move to Veriat saying "If I have to move I will".

These two actions, saying you're happy to lynch him and then showing hesitance and displeasure to vote him, don't add up. You can't have one with the other.

I think I'm going to get all my thoughts out there during this night period because I believe I am a likely target for tonight's kill. Hence my posting. The Mafia isn't stupid and they know who they should kill, posting isn't really gonna give them any clues on who to kill. Obviously you could also try to level with them if you are not a power role to draw the kill as well.

If you choose not to post I don't think it's a bad thing, but I think we can use tonight to get a jump on tomorrow

Just gonna do some spew analysis first. This is about the only post of use that he wrote.

The_Zen_Man is pretty much clear forever, he made a case on Veriat when he could have chosen a lot of other people and Veriat then goes and makes him his #1 wolf read and later makes a case on him. You just don't see this being mafia/mafia with newer mafia

nreekay I think is also spewed cleared here as well i think. If your gonna put a mafia in your mafia reads, it's not gonna be like this with qualifiers and extra useless info in my opinion.

However JailBreaker, this is exactly how a newer mafia would do it, he just throws his name out there with some lame, non existent reasoning. I am moving Jailbreaker to the mafia side for this alone.

K well I just typed up a longish post and it got deleted. So here is my less pretty version

The_Zen_Man- He made a case on Veriat when he could have chosen anyone at that point to make a case on. He is the clearest person in the game right now in my opinion and really don't see him ever flipping mafia

PureSC- He was the one that recognized the scumminess of Veriat's "In-depth read list" first. Most mafia would have saw their teammate post that and said "oh ok, good" and moved on. I don't see him being a mafia

Splinter- Had every reason to be on Aces, as he made a case on him earlier in the day, but switched his vote to a mafia, with little hesistation. I just don't see that being mafia/mafia violence either. Also, he placed probably the most critical vote out of everyone on Veriat.

nReeKay- I like the fact that he has been adjusting his reads throughout the game. Originally I was supicious of him because his vote on me looked super sketch, but his response to that seemed genuine. This read obviously isn't as strong as the others but I would not like to see him voted today

LazerMonkey- This one is kind of just overall. Nothing real solid, I'm just getting Town vibes from him

As for the 'Champion of the Veriat' lynch. No I wasn't the first person, or the second, or even the third, but I think without me stating why I think Veriat was a mafia and why Aces was not, I swung the late voters. Had I taken a nonchalant approach I very much believe that we could have had a "no-lynch" yesterday.

As for your whole post, I don't know if you would write that whole thing out as a mafia, but that's about the only thing town-like of your post. Your whole post is essentially soft-pushing me mafia, yet in the end you call me a town?

The reason why I raise suspicion at you is not because of the time it took, but because of the words you used.

I also meant to add on

Mordanis- Originally I thought he looked really good, but going back I don't like it as much. I'm not advocating a vote for him in the least. But he was really spongy on his vote of Veriat, only switching to him if someone else did. But meh, We will see what comes of today.

@Everyone- Thoughts on Jailbreaker? Obviously I think Golden is a mafia but we aren't gonna spend the whole day talking about especially when I don't think he's gonna get a maj on him. So a good alternative is Jailbreakers imo.

What raised alarm bells for me is 2 things:

1) Veriat magically put him on a wolf list with almost no explanation. This is a feeble attempt to seperate themselves should one of them be lynched.

2) This Post: + Show Spoiler +

Hopefully our analysis has been good enough that at least some of the people who have 2 or 3 votes are scum. That being said, our strategy should be to have everyone post the people they'd be willing to vote for. This will force the mafia to either risk voting for their own or they will reveal themselves (the circle of people who won't vote for each other will be the mafia). Personally, I'll vote for anyone who is close to a majority, or one of the triangle who won't vote for each other. Come on guys, we are running out of time and we need to start working together to make a lynch. Its crunch time guys, and we need teamwork to beat the mafia.

From what AcecAnoka has posted, I feel like we dont have enough info to point fingers at him. get off the bandwagon and look at other players posts just in general



Originally I thought this was a town-like statement to make. But looking back at it with results in mind I don't like it.

He says we're doing everything wrong, but doesn't give any alternatives. He is merely commentating on the game instead of adding to the game. It is also weird that he soft-defends Aces and soft-Attacks Veriat, though he does not vote Veriat. It seems he is trying to get people to move to different wagons than we had. If he had added more and given his own suggestion, I think this is very town-like post, but because he doesn't it makes me very wary of him

Hey guys!

This is my first game of maifa, but i have been following other games a bit. I also think that the "no lynch" option could prove useful early in the game to avoid misslynch. The other game i was following misslynched on the first day simply because they didn't have enough information.



Someone already pointed this out and I've already stated my position but I'd like to take it a step further,

I find this post very wolfy, more so than Varient or however you spell his name who said the same thing essentially, because you aren't thinking deeper. You say in the other game they mislynched on the first day because they didn't have enough information, but how do we expect to gain information if we "No Lynch"? Day 2 will essentially be a repeat of day 1.

Also, Voting early and often leads to profit,

As Pure-SC2 said, i share his opinion on the "no lynch" vote since this is a game full of newbies like myself, and there isn't all that information up in the air the first day, which we can use to base good lynches on.

With that said, Game on and let's get the discussion going!

Like you think this is what a townie would say

But a few things:

1st underline: we gain information by lynching someone, it's not an "if", I am 100% sure we gain knowledge by lynching anyone today. And if your a townie you should realize this, as of yet no one has implied we don't gain knowledge by lynching someone except you.

2nd underline: We don't ever lynch someone just cause, that just doesn't happen. We lay out our views and decide who seems most likely to be a mafia and we vote them.


The part about this post that seemed strange to me is " And if your a townie you should realize this". Im not sure how being a mafia or town matters if a have some information.

Then, after having posted with about 5 post saying how i am "Wolf", he unvotes me but says that he still haves me as scum. Maybe he realized that no one took his suspicioins against me seriously and decided to give up, but still have me as a possible scum if he needed one.

He then proceds to vote for me anyway, with not much more explanation than this. Mordanis posted a case against Veriat just a few post before this one. Maybe he tried to direct attention towards me instead of his scum buddy. Veriat then also votes for me, probably to try a bandwagon on me.

I'm getting an off read on WhySoMuch, I don't really understand it so just going to post my thoughts in case someone else can make something out of it.

So we're playing a newbie game here, for people who've played 3 or less games. yet here he is so ingrained in his Wolves/Villages thing that he can't even proof read his posts to change it to reflect the fact we're playing Mafia here, on the TL mafia forums, in which everyone else is referencing mafia/scum and townies? How many games do you have to have played to get it that ingrained in your head? And after its been mentioned by a few people, why wouldn't he make any effort to do something about it?

Yet his posts seem well thought out and carefully worded.

He goes on and asks the most basic fundamental questions that can be answered by using the tiniest bit of logical thought (how to quote posts and view more posts on a page), which doesn't line up with the fact that his posts seem to be well thought out and logical.

I don't trust him. It's like he's playing this naive, simpleton role here so that he won't come under suspicion.


It's the same game, Y'all call it Mafia, We call it Werewolf. It's the same principal and I'm really confused why people are so caught up on it. This is newb game for people that have played 3 or less games ON THIS SITE. That is why I signed up for it, to get a feel for THIS SITE. So many things are different, such as requiring a Majority to lynch someone, that I think it was best to play a game like this before trying out the non-newb games. I have played over 100 games on the other forum using wolve/villager lingo, so to answer your question about 100 games to get it ingrained.

I am making an effort, every time you see the word Mafia or Town most likely I had to go back and erase wolf/villager. However sometimes I forget.

I didn't ask how to quote posts, I asked how to quote multiple posts, because on the other site, I can click a button and it will multi-quote for me. THis forum did not have it, and I was wondering what people usually do instead. As for the "All" button I probably should have figured that out, but again, on the other forum there is an option to change posts per page from 25 to 100.

Also Veriat, as Pure-SC2 said, please tell me what about me is "fishy".

Whysomuch, could you give me a explanation to your vote?


I have explained my vote a gazillion times already. Just because I vote you again doesn't mean I have to have different reasons than before.

I am confused though, because Veriant looks extremely bad right now. Like all his reads are justs sponges and he has no original thought, so I'm pretty sure he's a wolf. Which means you likely aren't a wolf.

##vote: Veriat


This is also very interesting. This is what WhySoMuch posted after i put up a possible Veriat and WhySoMuch connection. I think that he saw the only way out of it was too vote his scum buddy veriat, that way when Veriat flips Mafia he would be shown as a good townie.

After that he switches votes two times, back to Veriat again. This was maybe because he tried to save his scum buddy in one last effort. But when he realized it wasn't going to happen he changed again, so that he might look like a good townie.

He then haves a unusually lot of activity during the night. He explains this with that he is probably the Mafia target, but i don't get that. There were plenty of people(me including) that played a part in Veriat being lynched. He also makes this post:

The_Zen_Man is pretty much clear forever, he made a case on Veriat when he could have chosen a lot of other people and Veriat then goes and makes him his #1 wolf read and later makes a case on him. You just don't see this being mafia/mafia with newer mafia

nreekay I think is also spewed cleared here as well i think. If your gonna put a mafia in your mafia reads, it's not gonna be like this with qualifiers and extra useless info in my opinion.

However JailBreaker, this is exactly how a newer mafia would do it, he just throws his name out there with some lame, non existent reasoning. I am moving Jailbreaker to the mafia side for this alone.


He writes that i am pretty much clear forever, which might be to remove any suspicions i might have. I think everyone knows that i am a town, as my case on Veriat turned a few players around. You are just stating the obvious, and trying to look better in my eyes.

WhySoMuch then proceds to try and start a case against golden, with still little to no basis for this at all.

WhySoMuch is looking very suspicious to me, and i would like to hear the other players thoughts.[/QUOTE]

1) The reason I called you out and not Veriat was already stated (atleast I think) in the thread. You automatically registered that the only reason a town was lynched d1 in the other game was "Simply because they didn't have enough information". This is showing poor thought process, because there could be a number of things of why a town was lynched. That was why you got pressure and he didn't

2) Just because you saw a "connection" between us, doesn't mean I'm gonna act on it in either role. I did not care you saw a "connection", It had no affect on my actions. Why would 1 poster who I had suspicion on affect my actions? That doesn't make sense

3) When I voted unvoted and voted again, no one was certain who would be lynched. If I had kept my vote on Aces the vote would have been 5-3 Aces and a likely Aces lynch or No lynch. So saying that I was forced to switch once I knew Veriat was lynched does not describe my vote (it describes Golden's).

4) I had no idea you would be pressuring me, so I would have no reason to put you at the top of my Town list to "get you not to suspect me". Once again your not looking at the time frame of posts. I don't care how to view me, and I'm not trying t o look better in your eyes by having you as my #1 town

Even if he doesn't contribute, we aren't lynching him today or tomorrow, or prolly even the next day.

I don't know everyone's obsession with getting rid of "lurkers", yes it's fine d1 but after that, if people clear themselves then they shouldn't be lynched even if they aren't big contributors. I'm not encouraging to stop posting because he seems like a really good town to have, but if he can't cause of irl or whatever, we still aren't lynching him.

WhySoMuch - you don't speak for the town. So far at least 3 people have found your actions suspicious, so if you really are town you need to start thinking a bit more about how you're playing and what you're actually doing to help the town.


I am trying to keep the village from wasting a day talking about why someone is a mafia because they don't post when they are likely town. Now, if you believe Splinter is a Mafia because of reasons outside of "he hasn't posted in x amount of time" then I'm all for posting that. But afaik, he is a Town and very likely town, so soft-pushing him because he isn't here is pointless.

You may not like me talking in absoletes but to say I'm not helping the town is pretty lol.

I'm confident Splinter is a town, and therefore I don't believe he should be lynched, happy?

... Then the mafia would only have to lurk, and the active posters would kill themselves off while the scum kill off another one each night. Just two iterations of this, and its down to 4 town and 2 mafia. To be clear, I'm not going to say that we should automatically lynch whoever posts the least, but if we have to decide between lynching a lurker or someone who contributes, I'll go with the lurker. If the person we lynch is mafia, we did well either way. But if we mislynch, I'd much rather lose a townie who contributes little than a townie who contributes a lot.

Also, Hi Marvellosity! gl catching up with everything, hope you post some new insight!


And this is where we disagree. In your scenario, I would vote for the person I feel is most likely mafia. Yes the lurker would look worse to start, but if he made a vote that they don't make as a mafia, then I'm gonna vote for the other guy. I can contribute all I want, I would do the same a Mafia. I don't think all 3 mafia are going to be lurkers.

The second person I am most interested in is WhySoMuch. There were a couple of things that stood out at me just browsing the thread:

1) lots of vote changes. Doesn't have to be alignment indicative, but it stood out
2) The only quote from someone I actually have written down - "Town reads are more important than mafia reads". Interesting - I thought we were here to lynch scum. He expressed the same opinion AGAIN, and then listed his own town reads. Unless I am mistaken, this also happened at night. Sounds like it could be town-read fishing -> mafia kills. Lists of town reads, especially at night, are bad, mmkay? Like I said, they only give mafia targets. If you have people you think are pretty likely town - good!! You don't need to tell all of us. Do you really think that saying "blabla seems extremely townie" is going to convince anyone that person is town if they didn't think so already?
3) He called out golden very quickly saying that if Veriat was scum, golden was scum. Say whaaaaaaaat? So someone casts the deciding vote to lynch a scum and they're scum? I mean, it's possible, sure, but that's an incredible leap to make. It does point out that Whysomuch is extremely aware that scum could be bussing scum to try to gain towncred. Related to this is that he points out himself that he looks good for voting Veriat. So he looks awesomely townie for lynching the scum and golden, the guy who actually got the scum lynched, looks scummy. k.

Anyway, reading the filters is an even bigger task than reading the thread, but I will work on it diligently. There's some food for thought in the meanwhile.


2nd point) Yes we are here to lynch scum, but the only way mafias win is by mislynches. By establishing our town reads, we take away mislynches. You see the same names popping up on town lists and those people all of a sudden become unlynchable, thereby taking away mislynches. The point of having town reads isn't to convince other people to have the same town reads, it's that if everyone makes a town reads list, you have a group of players that will show up on multiple lists, thereby increasing our chances of hitting a mafia.

3rd point) No it isn't, he was forced to make the vote. If he didn't it would automatically be mafia/mafia no questions asked. He put Veriat on his mafia list and was "Happy to vote him". He was also Pro-D1 lynch in the discussion earlier, and if he didn't vote that would go against his policy. No this doesn't automatically mean he is a mafia, but awarding town points to Golden is wrong.

to add to your 3rd point:

Yeah, I do look better than Golden, So does Splinter so does PureSC so does Mordanis. The deciding vote there is not what got Veriat lynched, and the town successfully twisted Golden's arm to vote a mafia, that may not be the right phrase, as Golden could be a town in which case we still "forced" him to vote Veriat, but Golden would do that anyways in that scenario, but if he were mafia and the votes were say 5-3, then golden would not have had to switch.

To the bold - what is this nonsense? People don't become unlynchable for turning up on lists, that's absurd. People are unlynchable when they're dead. If a couple of people have someone down as a town-read and I think he's scum, is that going to stop me making a case on them? No, of course it isn't. You don't find mafia because people turn up on lists. You find mafia because they are scummy, simple as that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So in the scenario where scum decides to bus Veriat, is it not more likely that they do so in the midst of the voting rather than at the end? golden wasn't 'forced' to vote for anyone, he voted who he wanted to. He could have made a non-vote earlier on in the day on someone like aces (me) or whoever was suspicious at the time.

You seem to have a preconceived notion of how people 'should' play - well, people don't necessarily play like that. You're inventing narratives that to you sound likely, but they are not necessarily true, or even the likeliest narrative.


When they show up on multiple lists it effectively means they become unlynchable because no one wants to vote them, everyone thinks they are town. If you disagree, and think they are mafia, great, write about it and maybe people will see what your seeing. But you do find Mafia from effectively eliminating players that aren't mafia. I'm not the best at explaining it, but I promise you Town Reads > Mafia Reads. Trust me on this one.

Yes, he was "forced" or all his posts leading up to it don't make sense. He called Veriat a mafia before he had a vote. He never changed that read, now he also called Aces(you) a mafia, so he kept his vote on Aces(you). But when it became apparent that it was either lynching Veriat or No lynching, he has to vote his mafia read or else his play doesn't make sense.

This doesn't make him scum though. But you are saying it makes him look good, and it doesn't.

I do have a preconceived notion of how people should play, But it's a notion that has logical backing and logical progression to it. If it wasn't Golden, say it was someone that was Pro-No Lynch and didn't have a read on Veriat, then not voting makes sense in that scenario. But because it was Golden, he had to make that vote. Whether, he is town or mafia, he makes that vote either way. And my suspicion is raised on how he made that vote, but that has been beaten to the ground and not going anywhere, so we moved on.

No, no-one wants to vote for them because they believe they are townie, not because they are on a stupid list. Jesus christ. Yes, it helps you to find mafia if you have town reads. But that's an individual thing. To make other people see your point of view if they don't, you'd have to make a "town case" which is getting ludicrous.

I also did not say it made golden looked good, I said your assertion that he was scum (your words were something like "If veriat is scum, i believe golden is scum") which I totally dissected in my last post.

As it appears I will fail in my bid to make you see common sense, I shall stop this back and forth with you.


Yeah, this is pointless.

You haven't read my posts, and the topic has already been beaten to the ground.

He makes the vote either way, but it's HOW he made the vote that makes it weird. but like i said its already been beaten.

If you focus more on Town reads than mafia reads, the game becomes easier. Free advice, take it or leave it.

Alright we'll spell it out for you:

By making a Town List, other people can see your thought process. By allowing others to see your thought process, you become easier to clear. That is our job as town, become clear. If we do that, we win 100% of the time.

With everyone making a Town List, it then forces Mafia to also make Town list's. This poses a dilemna to them because they know they have to "lie" in some cases and call their teammates Town. If there is a lack of thought process in putting that person as a town, it then incriminates them. If they don't put mafia in there town list, they will eventually have to vote each other. Both of these equaling town profit.

I'm glad we've had this invigorating discussion. I highly doubt you are a mafia though, so good has come out of it.

Alright, well I haven't read any games on here but I'll take your word for it.

If that's how people play here it is what it is. I strongly disagree with it but I'm not gonna argue with it if that's standard

I think too many assumptions have to made and there's still a lot of uncertainty in today's lynch even though Jail does seem like the leading candidate. If he is lynched, then I will go back and look at connections.

In fewer words, basically what Marvelous said

Okay, just quickly scanned over the thread posts. I will vote for Veriat instead to secure a lynch; while my analysis and other's of Aces makes sense I myself now see that the reasoning for Veriat is also quite concrete and some people are more sold on him than Aces. I think Veriat has tripped over himself more than Aces has as well, so thus:

##Unvote AcesAnoka

##Vote Veriat

I hope that he turns up red, but if not that means we've at least eliminated bad town play instead of someone more useful to the conversation.


I don't see Splinter ever being mafia.

-He made a case on Aces earlier in the day and therefore had ever reason to keep his vote on Aces
-He comes back into the thread and makes his vote change, where at the time the votes were 4-3, because he switched off Aces it made the votes 5-2 which made a veriat lynch likely

-His following post he says "depending on the results I'm still coming for Aces"

I think that is a very hard post to make as a mafia in that spot, he would know Veriat is flipping mafia, and therefor would have to clear (I'm assuming) Aces.

I think that's 6 votes on Jailbreaker so we secured a lynch barring anyone doing something.

@Mordanis, you can't argue with people that use bad logic. But you are right and they are wrong, Jailbreaker is the right lynch regardless of the result.

No. But if we don't lynch him today, we are going to have the same discussion tomorrow so we aren't gonna progress and probably end up lynching him tomorrow and even if we don't, there's no way for him to be clear so at some point he is going to be lynched anyways, therefore, the best play is to lynch him. He is likely mafia but if he isn't it's not bad.

Bad logic is that you aren't seeing this.

You accept your beliefs because you've been told it's true, when you haven't explored why they are true.

When you do that, tell me my logic is flawed.

To start, why are villager lists bad? What harm do they do to the Town? What benefits do they give to the Town?

Next, why is my logic in that previous post bad?

And stop saying "No good player ever uses", you prolly know like 5 good players.

No you didn't. When I gave reasons for why it benefits, you refuted saying "Good players don't do it".

Good players make reads list that include both towns and mafia. That's basic 101 Mafia.

What's wrong with making a case on why someone is a town, that's not ridiculous and it could save a mislynch.

I'm bring this back because I think this is important.

The chances that Veriat completely ignored his team with this reads this is unlikely, there had to be some interaction between the two because I'm sure they tried to distance themselves at least somewhat.

So that leaves The_Zen_Man, nReekay, and Myself. I know I am a town, and I'm like 99% sure The_Zen_Man is a town which leaves nReeKay on there.

You haven't responded to any of my refutes and are just set that I'm a mafia. You are like 99% to be town so I urge you to spend your time elsewhere, or reread the thread and look at it from the perspective that I'm a town.

So I make that vote, write a case and then ask members of the competing wagon to switch to my mafia bro? like your ignoring major facts in all your analysis of me. Yeah I flipped flop votes, but If I knew I was bussing, I would have stood firm on Veriat to get maximum credit. And in that spot, I would never bus cause I could have easily made a case on Aces, and pushed for his lynch.

So two possibilities:

1) We have a veteran, You should now claim as it gives us 1 more clear person. This claim is really easy to confirm, so I'm not worried too much about fakes.

2) We have a medic. You should not hard claim, but make sure you somehow make it known who you protected last night. And everyone should "fake" angel today. Get creative in how you go about it and think about who the mafia would kill and how would an angel act in this spot.

Hey guys!

This is my first game of maifa, but i have been following other games a bit. I also think that the "no lynch" option could prove useful early in the game to avoid misslynch. The other game i was following misslynched on the first day simply because they didn't have enough information.



Someone already pointed this out and I've already stated my position but I'd like to take it a step further,

I find this post very wolfy, more so than Varient or however you spell his name who said the same thing essentially, because you aren't thinking deeper. You say in the other game they mislynched on the first day because they didn't have enough information, but how do we expect to gain information if we "No Lynch"? Day 2 will essentially be a repeat of day 1.

Also, Voting early and often leads to profit,

##VOTE: The_Zen_Man

hope i did that right


That was zen_man’s first post. whysomuch made a quick jab at him. This is similar to how yomi voted whysomuch in the beginning; for no real reason other than to progress discussion and get a read. But, it’s a disguised way for whysomuch to take a stance, with an “out”, because yomi already did this and he (with others) are confident that yomi’s play is town. (e.g. making his play town).

I didn't really address the vote on me because I thought it was a joke vote, his reasoning that went along with it are because werewolves are gay, which isn't really much to respond to.

That said I'm willing to say Yomi is a villager albeit misguided because a wolf wouldn't vote me in that spot.

Hello Everybody!

I love the theme and i'm very excited to get this show on the road!
Like many here this is my first game so i'm looking forward to a good time with you fine lads (and lasses)

As Pure-SC2 said, i share his opinion on the "no lynch" vote since this is a game full of newbies like myself, and there isn't all that information up in the air the first day, which we can use to base good lynches on.

With that said, Game on and let's get the discussion going!


Veriat posted this about 5 minutes after my post, and it was also very similliar to mine. This seemed like he was bandwagoning on this idea, maybe choosing the idea which seemed at time like many people supported?

You make a good point Golden, lynching luckers would be a good alternative. We might also want to keep an eye out for people who make contentless posts, and as you said act "scummy"


Not long after that, when O.Golden_ne voiced his opinions on the matter, he changed his opinion rather quick, maybe not wanting to take a real stand in the matter, as this would put him in the spotlight.

I noticed the same yomi, they are currently lurking. And back to the "lynch, no lynch" topic, yomi you make a good point is your previous 2 post. we can't just lynch for the sake of lynching, it needs to benefit the town. And just lynching a townie and not learning anything is just a waste. so personally i'd say lynch if suspicion be, and if not? i see no point in random lynching.


His desire to be neutral is developed, as he change his opinion again. First he was for lynching lurkers, but now he only wants to lynch those who seem suspicious.

In this post he states his reason for his "agreeing and disagreeing" posts, with the explanation that all of the ideas had already been posted. Surely, he must have something to add, he could atleast voice his opinions on some other players.

The_Zen_Man You're stance on the "lynch no lynch" discussion has left me a little puzzled, and your overall playstyle seem fishy to me, so you're getting my vote.

nreekay324 All your posts just seem off and scummy. Many of them seem rushed or flawed, and you basically just jumped the bandwagon with your early vote on Why_So_Much. On a side note i did find Why_So_Much's playstyle kind of off, but i don't think he's scum, because then why would you vote for him?

Jailbreaker You've my number 3 due to consistent flaws in your previous posts.


This post, and his vote is still puzzling to me. "Your overall playstyle seem fishy to me" is not a good explanation, and if you want to take a opinion you should give a good reason. Your vote on me was almost as puzzling as whysomuch, who haven't answered to why he voted for me. If you want to prove that you are townie you should vote with a good argument. Also your other "candidates" do not have any better explanations.


@WhySoMuch: I said this before, but i will say it again, please explain your vote.

I'm getting an off read on WhySoMuch, I don't really understand it so just going to post my thoughts in case someone else can make something out of it.

So we're playing a newbie game here, for people who've played 3 or less games. yet here he is so ingrained in his Wolves/Villages thing that he can't even proof read his posts to change it to reflect the fact we're playing Mafia here, on the TL mafia forums, in which everyone else is referencing mafia/scum and townies? How many games do you have to have played to get it that ingrained in your head? And after its been mentioned by a few people, why wouldn't he make any effort to do something about it?

Yet his posts seem well thought out and carefully worded.

He goes on and asks the most basic fundamental questions that can be answered by using the tiniest bit of logical thought (how to quote posts and view more posts on a page), which doesn't line up with the fact that his posts seem to be well thought out and logical.

I don't trust him. It's like he's playing this naive, simpleton role here so that he won't come under suspicion.


It's the same game, Y'all call it Mafia, We call it Werewolf. It's the same principal and I'm really confused why people are so caught up on it. This is newb game for people that have played 3 or less games ON THIS SITE. That is why I signed up for it, to get a feel for THIS SITE. So many things are different, such as requiring a Majority to lynch someone, that I think it was best to play a game like this before trying out the non-newb games. I have played over 100 games on the other forum using wolve/villager lingo, so to answer your question about 100 games to get it ingrained.

I am making an effort, every time you see the word Mafia or Town most likely I had to go back and erase wolf/villager. However sometimes I forget.

I didn't ask how to quote posts, I asked how to quote multiple posts, because on the other site, I can click a button and it will multi-quote for me. THis forum did not have it, and I was wondering what people usually do instead. As for the "All" button I probably should have figured that out, but again, on the other forum there is an option to change posts per page from 25 to 100.

Also Veriat, as Pure-SC2 said, please tell me what about me is "fishy".

Whysomuch, could you give me a explanation to your vote?


I have explained my vote a gazillion times already. Just because I vote you again doesn't mean I have to have different reasons than before.

I am confused though, because Veriant looks extremely bad right now. Like all his reads are justs sponges and he has no original thought, so I'm pretty sure he's a wolf. Which means you likely aren't a wolf.


##vote: Veriat



Firstly we have more (distraction) clarification/responses to the nomenclature and how to post on TL! Then, the point of the post (bolded). 2 things, 1)”you’re mafia zen_man i’m done explaining!” (look back yourselves, it’s a relatively weak case against zen_man) and 2)a self-contradiction (italicized).
I can’t really make sense of the next part without getting into WIFOM, but whysomuch vote changes to Aces(now our marvellosity) and then back to Veriat.* Veriat’s pretty safe still with only (like 3-4?) votes.

Then whysomuch makes this fishy post shortly thereafter;

We need rto hear your thoughts. It is important that we know where you stand on people talked about in the thread, even if someone has already said it. I highly doubt you are having the same exact thoughts on the same people for the same reasons, and you can always add to the discussion by stating your thoughts.

Your reasoning on The_Zen man is his stance on the "lynch no lynch" was the same exact stance you had. So idk why that would make you think he's a mafia. You see I could think that, cause we have opposing views on the matter, but you two were both on the side of "no lynch" so that doesn't make sense.

Your reasoning on nreekay, you called my playstyle off therefore why is it unreasonable for someone to vote me? How can I have an off play style and not be considered a mafia? That part is contradicting.

Your 3rd mafia read, Jailbreaker, I'm just calling shenanigans on this, why don't you point out the flaws?

Overall, there were no original thoughts in his reads and they were all sponges, which make sense because that's what he said in his earlier post. But what DOESN'T make sense, is that his sponges don't match his posts. His reasoning doesn't match up with what he says earlier, meaning that he is sponging just to sponge and not thinking about it.


+ Show Spoiler +
This is suspicious to me, because 1)whysomuch posts this as an after-he-voted post and 2)he’s so unpushy of veriat. If veriat was a real mafia read, why so weak? the push against zen_man was much harder, with less reason to be suspicious then too. It’s like setting Veriat up for a redemption post, or trying to put his post in a more-newb less-scummy light.
However, there’s nothing Veriat says further from about the time he voted for zen_man all the way up to his lynch. Perhaps veriat was too busy to make a play off of whysomuch’s assist, or he just didn’t care to play anymore, or he openly told mafia to bus him. We can’t really know, and veriat died in silence.
One redeeming point is that whysomuch (lightly) pushed Golden to switch his vote to veriat. This is with a grain of salt, as veriat could have asked whysomuch to bus him at this point already (assuming they planned it after this point).

In conclusion to (2), the most suspicious post I saw later was this;

Golden was forced to vote him so he doesn't look any better and I would say he is a mafia with Veriat


If I had to bus my own mafia, I had better get town cred from it right? Also, completely drops his case on zen_man for voting veriat. It must have been a weak case to begin with, so no problem.

However JailBreaker, this is exactly how a newer mafia would do it, he just throws his name out there with some lame, non existent reasoning. I am moving Jailbreaker to the mafia side for this alone.

(In reference to Veriat stating; Jailbreaker You've my number 3 due to consistent flaws in your previous posts.)
. It seems suspicious, because Jailbreaker was called out for a number of things, primarily lurking. Unfortunately he didn’t post anything substantial, and so he was lynched. But whysomuch is content with voting jailbreaker, not so much for lurking, but for the point above. He adamantly is against lynching splinter, because we shouldn’t lynch lurkers. This is suspicious to me because 1) Jailbreaker and Splinter both had to answer for their lurking 2) why not defend jailbreaker, he’s lurking as well (and doesn’t post anything until he’s pretty much already voted to be lynched), 3)what makes splinter special?
This is where things get interesting, because splinter is modkilled and flipped green. Now mafia has achieved a mislynch, (unfortunately 2 cause of modkill) and Whysomuch looks good for defending splinter. Obviously whysomuch couldn’t have known that splinter would be mod-killed, but the evidence would be there for later. It’s suspicious to me, because I can’t see why he would defend splinter and not jailbreaker(at all) in that scenario.


4)The “town” lists.
+ Show Spoiler +
This part is just a hunch, but if whysomuch is really mafia, then having all of our town lists would allow easy targets for the night shots. It seems relatively difficult to have a lot of convincing, for-sure, townies at once(as is it seems relatively difficult to have a lot of high rated scum at once on a list). But having 1-2 “town” reads across multiple lists makes shooting easier. I wouldn’t have been so suspicious, but whysomuch did post his townlist and ask others during a night cycle.


*Interesting thoughts; what if Aces was mafia? Extremely unlikely, yes, but it would have FORCED the mafia to bus someone because they were both top suspects.

I'm too tired to proofread it all through, I hope it makes sense though. In conclusion, I find whysomuch suspicious, but it may be confirmation bias(as I kept reading the filter, I got more and more suspicious).


1) How is it all confusing? It's very straight forward to go through. You're merely jumping on the band-wagon that my posts are confusing to try and discredit me

2) How do those two quotes have any relevance together? Meaning, yes if we were both mafia we would have been in discussion, but how does Veriat voting the The_Zen_Man have anything to do with bussing Veriat. These actions are irrelevant to each other and the fact that you are trying to make them sound relevant is shady.

2a) Yes I completely dropped the case on The_Zen man cause things had changed. He voted a Mafia while being the first person to make a case on him, when he could have chosen anyone else. This play doesn't make sense mafia/mafia, hence I changed my read. Is it so odd to drop a read when the man starts a lynch on a mafia? There's nothing strange about that it's using common sense. Yet again, your trying to make a case against me by spinning my posts to fit your conclusions.

3) I didn't defend Splinter because he was lurking. I defended him because his play was lolobv town and people were discussing lynching him cause he was lurking. I didn't defend Jailbreaker because everything I read seemed like it came from a mafia. I made a case on why I thought Splinter was a town, thank you for quoting that so people see why I defended him and not JailBreaker

4) I had been asking people to list their towns throughout the day cycle as well, again thank you for ignoring that part. It doesn't make targets easier, Mafia look for Power Roles first, then they go after consensus town. The fact that this site doesn't do town lists is pretty frickin hilarious cause they are immensely beneficial. but I'm not gonna debate that anymore.

This is the most contrived case I've ever read, every one of your points, you spun my posts to fit your conclusions. I seriously think you could be a mafia for this but people are just gonna say that I'm mad you called me mafia, so someone else should look into it.

On a side note: I'm fairly certain the mafia are in Golden/nReeKay/Lazermonkey. I'm now 100% certain PureSC is a town though.

Okay so here we go!

I've been thinking about the D1 lynch alot. What is puzzling me is the fact that we actually got a scum on the very first day,aka very rare in mafia. Looking at the people voting we can see that:

Show nested quote +
Veriat: (7): yomi, The_Zen_Man, WhySoMuch, Pure-SC2, Splinter[eP], Mordanis, O.Golden_ne
The_Zen_Man (1): Veriat
Yomi (1): Jailbreaker
AcesAnoka (1):Lazermonkey
WhySoMuch (1): nreekay324

Haven't voted (1):AcesAnoka


So Veriat was scum and Jailbreaker was townie. Now if we assume that noone that voted On Veriat was scum then two of me, nreekay324 and AcesAnoka/Marvellosity must be scum.

Now as for myself, I was seriously thought that Aces was looking way scummier than Veriat at the point of the lynch. I went to bed at about 22:00 and at that point where I left there were alot of indecisiveness on who to lynch. Thus I wasn't able to change my vote, although I'm not trying to archive town cred as I still think Aces looked more scummy in D1.

While I can't be 100% sure that Marv/Aces is town, it makes alot of sense. nreekay324 could very well be scum tho. I still think that the odds of BOTH this players being scum is relativly low. + Show Spoiler +
However, it is possible now that I am actually checking filters. During the 3 pages Marv posted this far he BARLY mentions nreekay324. nreekay324 himself is at first very suspicious against Aces, although when Marv replaces him he suddenly change his mind on him to town. This is somewhat strange to me...


This means that someone in the inner circel, the ones who voted for Veriat in the first place must be scum. I still have a hard time seeing, Pure or Mordanis being scum as they were the ones who pushed for the vote at Veriat.

Note that I'm in fact not including The_Zen_Man. I'm not sure what to think anymore about him. Yes it is true that he posted the first case on Veriat but he didn't actually push the case at all after that. It was Pure and Mordanis who did. during D2 he have posted not much at all. He states that he still think that WhySomuch is scum. I feel he is tunneling a little bit to hard atm and abusing the fact that he is "forever town" after D1. This is alot of WIFOM but for me he has at least lost his never-vote status. I'd say it's most likely he is town atm but not 100%.

The other people in the circel:
Golden: Still leaining town here.
WhySoMuch: I'm not sure about this guy at all. As I'm lazy I will not post any evidence and such of this tho : ).

I'm thinking that one out of Golden, The_Zen_Man and WhySoMuch is probebly scum. The most likely one is WhySoMuch but I don't want to be too fast on dissmissing the others!


Conflicting tone in this post.

You are sure that there is one scum on Veriat, and you go on to say that 4 of the 7 people (2 are dead) are some degree of town reads, and yet, you are "Not sure about this guy at all" at me. Shouldn't you be fairly sure I am a mafia? And as such shouldn't you be willing to make a case on me.

And then you go on to not limit your options by adding the underlined clause.

If you weren't asleep, then you very well could have changed your vote but you didn't.

No you wouldn't. Having two people out of a sudden sharing their opinions on a weak case would make you look scummy as hell. It's a common way to play scum, you split your opinions. So this doesn't prove your innocence.

I even said in my post that my case on you and AcesAnoka being scumbros were a weak one. But the fact that you are still seem to think highly of Acec just makes me wonder more.

Once again you post a somewhat confused post. It's like you aren't reading the posts well enough because you seem to miss alot of what is happening. You are still being overly defensive imo, which is not standard town play. And you always attack the one who are suspicious of you. First WhySoMuch, then nreekay324 and last me. Have it actually struck you that we might not be suspicious of you because we are scum but rather that we actually think your play is strange?

Overall I still think your just town. I don't think your play looks like town, but it doesn't look like scum either.

Going to bed now, will be much more active tommorow!


You just made an extremely long post criticizing everything that The_Zen_Man had done, You even say that he is being "overly defensive imo which is not standard town play" and yet your conclusion is that he is "just town". How is that possible?

Then your last line you say you " don't think his play looks like town, but it doesn't look like scum either", yet you still call him a town. Why are you afraid to call him mafia, you laid out almost a whole case on him and still you think he's town? it doesn't make sense.

Also your phrasing of "just town". What do you mean by this?

What limits do you want? I'm 63% sure that you are scum atm?



*Snip*


Because I'm scum or because I don't remember things. you choose!4

*snip*

Because while his play was confusing in the start, I strongly felt his motives didn't match the ones of scum. And if he were townie, which I still think although I'm not as certain as I was one day ago, I think he should step up his posting alot.


@Lazermoneky, You said that later on in your post but how come your conclusion on me was "I'm not sure on this guy at all". Why were you afraid to call me a mafia in your conclusion?

2) I'm leaning toward the former heavily. If you didn't remember why would you add a clause about not being around to change your vote, you were purposely trying to deceive us in some way there.

Lol, yes of course, I think Golden has been a mafia since day 2 but figured it was fruitless to push the point.

I agree with everything you've said in your post, but I think Lazer is more likely to be a mafia at this point. Town don't lie about things that Lazer has clearly lied about. Mixed with all of his other posts, his play doesn't make sense as a Town.

However,We need 5 of 6 town votes to lynch a mafia today so I will switch to Golden if he appears to be more likely lynch then lazer.

Yes, but it's that he made up an excuse for why he didn't change his vote.

The 2nd point, yes it is a good case, but I'm now very confident Lazer is flipping mafia

I have already given my case.

SideNote: What game were you referring to when you said "Lazer was playing exactly like a game I read before", So I can read that.

Read through the thread since last night, and it’s nice to see we're all alive. This evens out the modkill of Splinter (numerically).

@whysomuch- First, I was just wondering what faking angel is? Is that like, faking that we were medic-protected over the night?



What I meant is to pretend that you are the angel that protected someone from getting killed, If you are the angel, you are now sure that whoever you protected is a town, therefore leave some sort of subtle clue on who you "protected".

I had a look at your filter and I see a mish-mash of general accusations without anything substantial, but I may have missed it somehow.


It's the two posts you call "general accusations". I don't need to write out a long post in order for it to be a case.

Why do you think Lazer is a town?

Ok, let me get this straight. You are convinced Lazer is mafia because he went to bed (read: he did not say asleep) and caught up on the thread on his phone and because he criticised Zen's play but doesn't have a mafia read on him (which he explained subsequently).

Yet you think Golden is mafia, you agree with everything I said in my case, yet Lazer is still the best target? I don't get it.

I don't believe Lazer is town necessarily, I just don't think the burden of evidence on him is higher than that of Golden.

Why do you think Lazer is more likely given you have thought of Golden as scum + you agree with my case?


He said he went to bed and couldn't change his vote. Therefore I assumed he meant went to sleep. I'm sorry if this is wrong to assume.

Because you're assuming Quantity of Evidence is better than Quality of Evidence. Yes, there are lot of suspicious things Golden has done, I have pointed them out myself, but people said I used stupid logic to get there. So I see where you're coming from. I think he's mafia.

But, this one slip-up from Lazer is huge. Like a Town never does this. He purposely lied in order to escape suspicion. That is Mafia slip 99% of the time. So yes, I think Lazer is more likely to be mafia than Golden. I don't need a fancy case to say so.

When have you ever seen a town lie about where he was when a mafia got lynched in order to escape suspicion? It doesn't happen. It doesn't even happen when a town gets lynch. Town don't lie about this stuff.

Okay, angel=medic, I get what you were saying now. But, isn't that kinda detrimental to the town if the angel/medic does that? I mean the best we gain is a confirmed townie through the clues. But if the mafia reads up on these clues, then they have an easy target (the medic).
Also, if we, as a town, try to help cover it up by throwing out decoy clues, then doesn't that just muddy up everything and give the mafia a chance to throw out decoy clues that could be really misleading to us?
Anyway, this could be arbitrary as there could be a veteran that took the hit.


Right they do, but the medic is going to be leaving a clue anyways, so it's the best that we can do.

And no it doesn't really muddy everything up, mafia can't really give clues that will mislead us because the only way the clues come in to play is if they are Night killed, and Mafia won't be night killed

Yes, I know, I go to bed and spend 30 min on my phone, but he said he couldn't change his vote. That is the whole part that makes this scummy. You can't follow along and then not be able to change his vote.

whysomuch, has anyone claimed or anything?

are there any specific rules you think I might not know that I should?


No one has claimed anything yet. Angel protected the right person yesterday or the town has a veteran.

1) You have to get a Majority on someone in order for them to be lynched. This is insanely prowolf so I have no idea how town are suppose to win these things

2) They don't like lists.

3) They don't like short posts

4) You can talk during night

5) You don't have to f5 the thread, I assure nothing has happened. Could go 6 hours without a post.

6) WIFOM- Speculative things

You should read the part where we voted off a mafia d1 and go from there imo.

And oddly enough we reached the same conclusion on Marvelous.

I feel like we're being messed with here. Sexdoll signs up to the forum Tuesday, his first ever post is offering himself up as a replacement in this game.

Then we get this whole charade? WhySoMuch "knows" Sexdoll from some other site, they have this nice little byplay - oh he's actually younguns there lol lol, heyya babe, and of course Sexdoll knows him and he is likely a villager based on his experience with him.

Isn't that sweet, the internet suddenly seems like such a small happy place, where two people who played something similar on another site manage to not only end up in the same game on this site, but have all this experience playing together.

I think it's one of two things.
1). They are the same person and totally fucking with us. This was my first impression based on Sexdolls posts.
2). They are friends who are communicating out of band and acting like they aren't.

I don't like it at all.

Marv, I'm going to spend the next bit going over your case on Golden. It read good the first time but there were a few things I wanted to look at closer. Don't you think it's weird that WhySoMuch has dropped his number 1 scum read on Golden? His reason initially was that he didn't think anyone would support it, so now you've made a good case, why the hell isn't he even pushing it?



You may not like me and you may think I'm a tool. But I would never compromise game integrity like that. That is just wasting everyone's time. I assure you we are not the same person. I was the one that told SexDoll about this site, he had no idea what my screen name was on this site, and therefor had no idea what game I was in, I didn't even tell him that we needed a sub and that he should join. We occassionally talk outside of this game, but we know the rules and we do not discuss this game at all. We talk about sports or random other things, or how much we miss poker, and stuff like that. We have a policy that everyone knows where you never talk about ongoing games.

And yes, we do have a lot of experience together, and joke around a lot with each other, I do it with most players I know, as do a lot of players on 2p2.

But Seriously, yes we are from the same site. No we aren't the same player. Yes, we talk outside of this game, but we do not discuss this game.

If you really think this is happening, contact the host of your game.

I want to talk about something specific in marv's case that was brushed aside when he made his case, but is actually super important. When he said, my scum leads are Aces, x and Veriat, then he says he's fine with lynching veriat, Marv says taht this is super scummy, which doesn't make any sense. Scum in that scenario say stuff like, "Veriat is fine but I prefer Aces." They don't volunteer their bros to get lynched like that.

On 2p2 we call it bussing when one scum pushes another so that's what I'll call it here. The way that went down is NOT how scum bus each other. It makes no sense. There are 2 approaches that make sense in s/s interactions like that. 1 he would agree that veriat is probably a wolf but try to get aces lynched over him and 2 he would push him in a way that would be clearing for HIM. Golden got 0 credit for the veriat lynch because he deserved 0 credit for it. It makes no sense for him to have pushed Veriat like that if they were s/s.


Oh common, You know people say (the bolded) all the time as m/m.

And as for Golden's vote, I've already said so, but he said "I happy to lynch Veriat" at some point in the day. At that point, he has to vote Veriat every time even if he's m/m with veriat. Because if he doesn't he just outed 2 of the mafia.

You got put in a crappy situation and you're prolly a mafia. Sorry Bro :/

Angel should be randing his save between himself and his last night target (if that's allowed). If you don't save yourself make sure you claim before day is posted, if you did save yourself, still claim and try and draw the nk.

Yeah, the only other thing that could have happened is that, they didn't send in a NK on night 2 and therefor there was no kill. This seems very unlikely and very poor play by the mafia but it is possible

First off, Thank you to the Mods, Artanis and Nova, for modding this game. I know you had a lot of things to worry about with all the subs and that nonsense but the game still progressed smoothly. I also know it's time-consuming to Mod so thank you for taking time to do it for us.

Few things:

1) How is town normally suppose to win these things with majority lynch in effect? On day 1 it takes 7 of 9 town's to lynch a mafia, that's nearly unheard of. And if your wrong, then subsequent days it becomes even harder needing 6 of 7 towns to lynch a mafia. There's no point in the mafia bussing at any point in the game, if they just make cases against other players. The only way to balance it out is to add insane power roles for the village. We got super lucky with our power role games and lynching the RB'er d1

2) If you have a one-time vig, it is best to use it early rather than later. Yes it was good shot and was key to allowing us to win this game, but what if you were nk'ed one of the nights.

3) Wtf is with the hate on lists? Yes I made a list and everyone was on that list for a reason, it wasn't random.org. Lists are good.

They weren't random. And maybe posting them at night is a bad thing, I've never played where you are allowed to talk at night so that might be fair but to say lists are bad in general I disagree with

whysomuch is so annoying I love how he said I posted "kind of towny". I'm the first one to vote veriat. mafia picked up on it. bunch of donks. looking forward to not noob game big time.


@ Yomi: You did nothing but vote. Yes you were right, but it was early in the day, and you didn't push the lynch. It could easily have been a bus that you wouldn't think catch on. It's not like I called you mafia for it, it just wasn't lock clearing like some of the others. No one voted Veriat cause you voted him. I think the n1 kill was not good so I wouldn't flatter yourself saying "mafia picked up on it". PureSC/THe_Zen_Man looked way better than you did.

Also note that someone else in the chat cleared the 2nd through 5th voters, not you. It's pretty standard there to not clear you for your first vote
