You seem to sincerely believe in such terrible logic, so you're probably town. However I'm not voting BKE just because it's day 1. I don't think anything he's done or said is so far particularly scummy. At no point have I agreed with that terrible case, so why bother acknowledging that the rest of you are idiots for bandwagoning him?

On the other hand mafia lurk to shake suspicion ALL the time. mK seemingly has done exactly this, and if he's mafia certainly it's working.

So, in this case, obviously I'm far more inclined to believe that the guy who is actively trying to stop a bad lynch is town whereas the scummy lurker is not. If mK is town he has a huge incentive to address the votes on him and make a case on his scumreads rather than disappear immediately after voting. Also speculating about his status is pretty stupid when I voted for him fairly quickly after he posted.

Vigs, shoot him tonight. Lets not waste a lynch and a full day cycle worth of discussion on someone who is trolling us.

##VOTE: BKE

I expected this game to start in like a week or sth. I'll promise to catch up with the thread and be more active beginning tomorrow.

If you're not caught up why did you vote?


I had read the first ten pages and it seemed to be the best option. Haven't changed my mind now that I'vve caught up. It's day1 tho, I don't expect a 100% surefire candidate to pop up this early.

Could you maybe share some of your decision making process?

You know, so that we can see you did more than place your vote on the guy with the most votes.


sure.

On Day1, I feel like there's only two good options for town.
a) kill a lurker
b) kill a guy that causes trouble just hours into the game

I don't like option a). Playing as mafia is fun. You hang around in a chat channel and make your plans. You're probably more busy with the chat than writing in the thread, but still... you're less likely to lurk. If the mafia is smart, they will have a couple of lurkers, but definitely not the majority so the odds of killing a town lurker is a lot higher on day1.

BKE qualifies for option b). Whether or not he's mafia, I personally don't like people in my game that use words like "scummy" judging people's first post in the game. Noone has posted enough in this game that I could possibly have built a good enough opinion on them, but apparently he can do that.
I'm not even going to address his newbie-theory.

I'm not saying I'm sure about BKE whatsoever, but he's our best option in my book.


This post stinks. You seem to be ignoring the obvious third choice for town on day 1: we lynch someone acting scummy. You're recommending we lynch BKE on the basis that you don't like people casting early judgments. This is encouraging a passive game, are you afraid of a little bit of heat?

You seem to want to punish BKE for playing badly rather than lynch him for being scum, a scum's bread-and-butter move. In addition, your vote just looks like a blatant bandwagon on the guy currently leading the vote count, you only justified it afterwards when MajuGarzett questioned you about it 5 hours later.

I think you are scum.

##Vote: Mandalor


this is a good case and these are all things I picked up on myself when I read mandalor's posts.

I am completely fine with Mandalor and mKmKmK being lynched today.
Anyone else will take some serious convincing. For now I'm going to keep my vote on mK, but in the interest of consolidation and actually lynching someone I have a scumread on, if that lynch doesn't fly I'll push Mandalor with you.

Care to explain your train of thought? Over the course of 2 hours, you went from "probably town" to "completely fine with Mandalor lynch/scumread on Mandalor." Would like for you to articulate why you changed your read there.

Granted, one of your posts got ninjaed and so that contradiction wasn't there, but I was paying attention to what you said.


this is true!

However, even when I revealed myself I had to tunnel scum for like 24 hours to get a correct wagon lol.

Enough ongoing game talk for now, though. We can discuss it in PMs if you wish :p

Lol @ Kurumi trying to insinuate that mafia know who town are in this setup (hint: they don't)

The desperate flailings and failings of a caught scum, too funny.

Also marv is a good scumhunter, an honorable scumhunter, let no harm befall him. Marv if you're town don't go afk, just ignore Kurumi. You can help me and sandro and whoever else is on town side. I'm still reading, but thoughts to come in a few hours after my lab.

Barring Kurumi I'd like to hear who Katina, Palmar, sandro, and syllo would kill right now.

Palmar mostly. Wouldn't mind syllo, or Mattchew.


<3

I believe you're the only one who even acknowledged my question.

I agree with all three kills but I'd rank them differently. Wouldn't mind killing Blazingscum and layabout too, they're all scum. All scum, god damn them.

Oh and Wiggles is AFK. Just thought I'd throw that out there, he hasn't posted yet. Possibly rolled scum again, the bastard. OH and BM is afk too. Wtf? Well hell, half the players are afk. W/e.

Let's focus on one player first:

Shit that makes layabout scummy:

Read his filter first, it's not long at all. Keep that in mind for a second.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=349678&user=233798

He does nothing but shed doubt on sandro's claim. He instantly disbelieves it without considering other evidence. He knows the caliber of sandro's town play yet he doesn't even acknowledge the possibility that sandro could be town.

In addition he's stayed toward the back of the discussion, as he does when he is scum. When he is town he is out in front if he thinks people are being stupid. He will kick and scream and call people retarded if they're doing something he disagrees with. Clearly he disagrees with us sheeping sandro on his catch of Kurumi (otherwise why else would he shed doubt on it?) but notice that he actually doesn't do anything to stop the wagon.

i.e. his doubt is unfounded and he wants to undermine sandro without taking heat for the action itself. Scum tactic.

Kurumi is going to die at the end of the day.

Thus, we should kill someone else. Let's kill this guy for now. Make the bad man fly.

Q, I understand that your point. Why post-pone our work when we can finish the lynch early and get straight back to work. Kurumi does seem to be the correct candidate given that he is intimidating those who had been quite shy to start communicating. His elimination promotion will provide a more relax atmosphere. Then maybe more people will open up during this training session. I have no been fooling around with foolish post and I am inclined to believe no fool would read my posts. So as of now, I am overlooking the fools.


Understood. I am once again humbled by your wisdom. Perhaps with time I will to be able to see through the lies that cloud my vision.

Creating an atmosphere where participation is encouraged is very important. We must strike a balance between comfort, and discomfort, bringing chaos to the mafia while drawing out order for the town. A difficult task indeed. I will think on it further and let you know my thoughts at a later time.

I agree that he is undermining Sandro for no reason. It is also a really strange place to start. He pops in to doubt something that makes 0 sense to doubt and then disappears. No comment on Syllo, Foolishness, MZ, or anyone for that matter.

I could get down with his lynch but I still prefer Syllo. Bugs, your thoughts on Syllo?


syllo is probably scum. I don't think he's lost his touch at scumhunting, so it's unlikely he's rolled town and is just super rusty. However, I don't find him scum for the same reasons other people find him scum (such as Foolishness.) While those reasons have merit, what popped out to me were these things:

@ Mattchew

What are you talking about? You are the one making absolutely no sense. I know I'm an easy target to get mislynched but that's not going to happen today. You think that scummy people are town and people that aren't that scummy you are pushing for to get lynched. Your points against me are based off of nothing except the fact that your reads are different than mine. I'm trying to find scum and you just made your way onto my Mafia list with Palmar. You come out of nowhere and immediately jump all over one of my posts then nit pick at my response to you. The reasoning for your suspicions are bad and have close to nothing to back any of it up with. Most of what you say you just pulled out of thin air. You are making a sad attempt to do what WBG does in attempts to try and get me lynched.


Why do you "know" that you are an easy target to be "mislynched"? Has this been a common occurrence? Why do you keep mentioning WBG and comparing mattchew's play to his, it's not relevant at all. I agree with mattchew in the sense that some parts of your palmar "case" were weak and perhaps suspiciously so, but at the same time Palmar is clearly 100% trolling so far so he could very well be mafia. I think the only thing about his play that could point towards him being town is the fact he outed sinani's smurf, which isn't very smart to do in this setup if you are mafia as the person whose smurf you are outing may also be mafia.

What do you think about meapak's play so far?


Syllo almost immediately takes Palmar's claim that q bert is sinani seriously. As town he would at least question this initially. Palmar indeed says that he believes qbert to be sinani based off a /whois on IRC tracing to a Verizon IP, which is in itself rather unreliable because Verizon is a pretty popular ISP in the United States. I myself didn't find Palmar's "evidence" quite convincing given that qbert doesn't even sound like sinani.

However, syllo apparently trusts Palmar's word based on the "if he were mafia he would have no interest in doing this" which is obviously false in this setup. I don't think syllo is that stupid as town to come to such a faulty conclusion on relatively flimsy evidence.

So yes, I do think he's likely to be scum. However, I would very much like to give him the benefit of the doubt for now because I am more confident that layabout is scum (or at least I'd like more time to study the thread and other players as well) and as sandro has said it would be prudent to leave syllo alive for at least another cycle in the case that we are wrong.

Even if he is scum syllo has the capability of catching other scum for us (in this setup particularly). It would be a bit foolish to let go of such a useful tool. Why not make mafia kill each other?

Given that I only read the latter half of the thread (I'm still missing a lot of information given how long I've been gone) it's only a gut read for now.

I'm reading everything now, but I wanted to get those thoughts I had written down first so that I can personally compare my gut reads to the reads I have based off objective evidence. Gut tells me you're scum. Could be wrong, gotta cement it first.

whoa, why are you speaking FOR probulous?

holy shit are you scum with Probulous?

Probulous never mentioned that post, he hasn't replied to it yet. Also I already elaborated on why layabout is scum in the post before that.

So,

#1. You're talking for someone else
#2. You're not reading the thread

you really are scum!

yeah i got that. putting something in caps that you already said doesn't make it go in my head twice.

I'm not asking why you don't want to lynch him today, I'm questioning your line of thinking that someone you believe to be scum would help us find scum.


oh, that's simple.

This setup has most scum not knowing who the other scum are. It's in their best interest to actually look for scum, similar to a game that has multiple scum factions. Otherwise they'll just die isolated.

Thus, for a person like syllo to live, we force him to find other scum for us (we know that syllo is capable of this regardless of his alignment). As long as he is unwilling to do this we threaten him with death. If he is willing to help find other scum then he's either town or he's a scum who's helping us kill his own teammates.

When we have more information on how he's done this (given time) we can more effectively determine his alignment.

If, at any point, there are no players scummier than him, we just kill him.

Similar to how dead scum call out SK, or how scum in other games have called scum of other factions scum.

I may be overthinking things or I may be loopy right now, but w/e. I don't support a syllo lynch at this moment. I'm with sandro on that.

Can you answer my question please. Why would Syllo cooperate if he doesn't think he will get lynched?


if he doesn't cooperate (i.e. contribute) he dies.

I'd say this if sandro was scum too, but sandro sucks at being scum. Think about it. These are players whose town games are very good, to the point where they often singlehandedly take down scumteams. In this setup they are capable of doing that even if they are scum because they don't know who the other scum are.

However if they actively refuse to contribute their thoughts (or if their thoughts are obviously feigned) then we kill them.

It's not hard, but we need to afford them time. However, players like layabout who already have no interest in contributing and are clearly already acting from a scum perspective should die because, 1. they often are bad at scumhunting and 2. if they're already useless chances are they're going to continue to be useless.

upon rereading, I've discovered something that makes Blazinghand the scummiest person in the thread.

On July 17 2012 10:16 Blazinghand wrote:
##block: Chezinu

I was hoping not to have to use this.


After voting Kurumi (since we all know Kurumi is basically scum) and instead of waiting for Protactinium to confirm that Chezinu actually even has a nuke, he chooses to save himself (instead of saving RoL) with his block power.

Why is this essentially claiming scum?

Well, if he were town, he would have used his block power to block Kurumi from nuking RoL, since Kurumi's nuke was mod-confirmed BEFORE Chezinu used ##nuke in the thread. Indeed, Chezinu's nuke was clearly fake. Any person with half a brain would realize this, because Chezinu is nothing more than a glorified troll. To take him seriously in such a threat is to value your own life above the value of actually solving the game (finding scum).

So why is BH so concerned with saving himself instead of stopping a scum action (kurumi's nuke)? It's probably because he's scum and he has no interest in stopping another scum from using his action, but very interested in staying alive.

kill BH today.

who cares if he's pushing someone else who you also think is scum? Scum will do that in this game because it serves their interests best.

Part of my whole "let syllo find scum" bit is that you can actually almost trust reads given by scum in this game. It means you ignore things you would normally count as town tells (i.e. if they push a scum then you don't count it as a town tell) however you CAN take everyone's pushes seriously because everyone in the game has an interest in finding scum.

In other words establishing yourself as town takes more effort but everyone's scumhunting can be taken at least partially seriously. This is unlike other games where establishing yourself as town is fairly easy because not everyone's scumhunting can be taken seriously.

we don't, but why would BH use ##block unless he had that ability or that he took the nuke seriously?

If he's lying about having a block then he's scum, if he's not lying it doesn't change anything.

Kurumi being scum doesn't mean RoL is town. Even if Kurumi is one of the managers, he still has very little idea who he's actually shooting, and RoL isn't exactly captain mctownerson to begin with.

*I*, on the other hand, am 100% confirmed town (to myself).


it doesn't mean RoL is town, but since Kurumi is scum you have an interest in stopping a scum nuke.

When Chez "nuked" you it seemed like you just panicked. You could've waited however long you wanted to on that block if you're town, and if you are town it's in your best interest to wait. But, you chose to use it before the mod confirmation of the nuke.

And it's for this reason I can't automatically block Kurumi. And how am I supposed to know that you can ##nuke without having nukes? I'm not intimately familiar with chezinu, the man is utterly opaque to me. He had (or so it appeared) edited a post and for all I know he was planning to launch his nuke for being modkilled.

Okay, so what's ignorant in that post?

1) I can't automatically block kurumi -- seems reasonable
[/b]

If I rolled a block ability as town and there was a confirmed scum who used a confirmed nuke power, I would block the confirmed scum because it's in town's interest to stop that scum from achieving his agenda.

2) TYPICALLY in games with dayvigs you're not allowed to ##kill unless you have the ability to do so (as in that game where V7 was a jack and shot soap) -- also reasonable


This is false, you can write ##kill as a VT, it just won't do anything.

This has happened in multiple games before. The general consensus is to wait for a mod to confirm the action before acting in reaction to it. You did not follow this convention.

On July 17 2012 12:40 Blazinghand wrote:
3) I'm not familiar with chezinu -- I'm not. check my history.


I don't give a fuck about your history, the fact is that if you're reading Chezinu's posts from this game you should understand what kind of a player he is.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that he's a troll and thus should only be taken seriously if he's acting serious. The fact that you didn't realize this by now is a strong suggestion that you're not reading his posts.

On July 17 2012 12:40 Blazinghand wrote:
4) he looked like he edited a post -- he did. I'm not the only one who was fooled, I'm sure

THATS A REASONABLE POST. Don't make it out like it's not.


This is the confirmation for me that you're not reading the thread. Someone else WAS fooled, but it was directly clarified by a third person that it was a fake edit.

In fact, it was another scummy person who thought Chez edited (it was Meapak) and the fact that you didn't read the clarification but assumed he would get modkilled is an incredibly strong indication that you are scum.

Time for questions, most important first.

VE, this question is important:

Do you have a block power, or were you faking it?

Katina, what do you think of both hiropro and VE?

Foolishness and Katina: thoughts on each other, please.

Answers to questions addressed to me that I am willing to answer now:

On July 17 2012 11:20 VisceraEyes wrote:
WBG what are your thoughts on syllo's push on Prob? Did it seem sincere to you? Do you agree with any of the points raised against Probulous by syllo?


no to both questions. It was partly why I considered syllo to be scummy. (also his push on Probulous seemed reactionary to the pressure he was receiving in thread, mostly from Foolishness)

On July 17 2012 12:09 HiroPro wrote:
WBG, there's something I don't get about your "let syllo find scum for us". You think that layabout is scummier than syllogism. Ok, fine. But then why even bring up that whole talk (not only does it seem fairly illogical to me), but why would you even feel the need to justify yourself like that?


I was asked why I preferred layabout even though I found syllo scummy. I preferred giving a full answer as opposed to a half answer, because I know a lot of people want to lynch syllo today and not many seem to be interested in killing layabout.

It may not be an answer that people understand nor even agree with, but that's fine by me. It's my reason for wanting to keep him alive if only temporarily.

At any rate right now I'm completely fine with a multitude of players dying. We can't kill them all but I will be pushing those who I think are most likely to flip scum. If that likelihood changes then so will my vote. If it's clear I can't get my #1 target lynched then I will gladly switch to the scummiest target that has the best chance of dying.

for the record, my scumreads in order from strongest to weakest right now are:


Blazinghand
layabout
Meapak_Ziphh
syllogism


I've omitted Kurumi since he's basically dead.

Stop him from killing RoL, over stopping someone from killing you, when you know you yourself are town? I'd save the guy I know to be town: myself.


That's not the point. There was no mod confirmation that you were even dying, whereas there was mod confirmation that Kurumi was aiming a nuke at RoL.

In that moment your first thought should have been to wait, not to save your ass when you haven't even seen mod confirmation of there being a third nuke in the first place. This is what any reasonable townie would have done.

A scum in that situation, of course, would panic and try to save himself. That's what scum do when they think they're going to die. They panic. This is also in light of you taking Chezinu completely seriously, where if you were even reading half of his posts there is almost no reason for you to EVER take him seriously.

Really? More of a troll that Kurumi this game, or QBZ with his nonsense? Or Layabout with his literally not posting? No, I think I had good reason to be afraid of a guy who uses a bolded hash command in the thread.[/quote]

First of all, layabout not posting is not "trolling". That's "lurking." Nice stretch.

Secondly, you take Kurumi and QBZ seriously? Why the hell does it matter if other players are trolling as well? How does that make Chezinu any less of a troll? If you don't take Kurumi or QBZ seriously (and if you've identified QBZ as a troll even though none of us have played with QBZ) then I don't see how you would fail to identify Chezinu as a troll as well.

Your defense is essentially that there are two other players who are trolling, therefore Chezinu's nuke claim was believable, which is absurd.

Could you quote stuff? I didn't realize this was directed at me. I actually do think it's worth pointing out because in a normal game, the only people who suddenly change their minds are DTs who got a red (or green) check. Someone doing an about face is often a good way of lynching scum without having to claim DT. In this game however, it'll be scum doing about faces so I think it's good to get it out there so we don't have to sift through multiple DT claims later in the game.

Why in hell are you still talking about this. Isn't there anything more productive for you to comment on?

What exactly are you looking for me to take from sandroba's filter that I haven't already commented on?


it's more than just his reads, it's how he thinks that is important.

If you believe Katina is scum then now is not the time to push her lynch. There isn't much about her that is particularly suspicious at this moment in time.

Bugs the issue I have with your case is that it rests on BH having the mental fortitude to stop and actually think about the situation. It would be awefully tempting to straight up stop a nuke heading your way. Yes waiting until confirmation from the mods would have been the best play, that or stopping Kurumi's nuke, or both. He clearly responded rashly but whether it is town rash protecting their ass, or scum rash protecting their ass, I'm not sure.

As for taking Chezinu seriously, he may make crazy obfuscating posts but there is some nuggets of info in there. People troll but that doesn't mean you can't take their actions seriously.


yes, it rests on BH not being stupid. I realize that.

I often am wrong because I overestimate the skill of others, but I'd rather consider them competent first.

Also, I called him ignorant but ignorant is different from stupid. BH I don't believe is stupid. He hasn't chosen to read the thread thoroughly, which makes him ignorant of many players and events, but it also reflects on his motivation. I think a town BH at the very least would read properly and I really don't think he would use the defense of "but layabout is a troll" as town to try to make sense of his block usage.

Syllogism is mafia. Non-committal stances, doesn't even want to defend himself. Someone needs to redirect that nuke at marvellosity. And the next time Kurumi uses the phrase "actively lurking" someone should shoot him.

And before someone asks, Palmar is town. Mafia never propose stupid things like random lynches day 1.

##Vote: syllogism


From some of the earliest posts in the thread it's obvious Chezinu is not to be taken seriously. Yet BH's defense is that he took Chezinu seriously because he didn't come off as a troll (highly unbelievable)

Anyway, Foolishness kinda ninjaed me here but I want to hear from you Mr PCP:

Yes. When he's mafia he's very sure to be careful. Fewer one-liners (though there are still a fair amount), lots of clarifying and sheeping people. That's exactly what I see this game. Perhaps he's changing his style because he's around a bunch of vets, but I doubt it; and to increase my confidence, sandro agrees with my read.

The game where he was SK was Emergency Mafia, I hosted it:

Blazinghand has demonstrated a tendency to try a careful posting style in this game. That was proven when in his second or third post he called his previous post "unreasonably short".

Then he's got posts like this:

Are you sure? Cause Syllo looks pretty scummy to me. You should read the cases on him and make a case against him, a glorious shining case that will be reinforced by your town flip.

You are making this so easy.
I am town. You "know" I am town. Why vote on me?

._. My point is that "if you are really a town player" you should be spending your resources to help me lynch syllo. You're not doing much to convince me right now.

Why not the case on you? It sounds cool.

God, I don't care, just do something useful. Do you really think you're helping town by flapping around like this? Or are you just trying to waste people's time efficiently until nightfall?

Do you honestly think people are going to reread ANYTHING I post? Do you honestly think people CARE? No, they don't. Sorry man, but there's not much I can do. I can only sit there and watch.

NO. NOT IF YOIU'RE TOWN IT'S NOT.

Look Kurumi. Imagine, for a moment, that you're town, and not scum, which you clearly are. If you are town, you KNOW yuou're gonna flip town when you're lycnhed. So instead of dicking around, you should be MAKING CASES. and ANALYZING and helping. and stuff. That way, when you flip town, people are like "oh, hey he was town" and read your shit and hey, despite being mislynched you helped.

Right now, you're doing none of that. You're just being either a) town who's so whiny he's stopped helping or b) scum who got caught and is butthurt and at this point it's clear that it's b)

I thought about playing like that guy Blazinghand in one of mafia games where he posted videos pictures and stuff but I decided that it sucks.
People rarely re-read things dead people have written. That's why our towns suck so much. We ignore what confirmed vets/good players have written. The last game had austin, who made couple of HUUUUUUUGE posts which were very good. Guess what. Buried. Forsaken. Nobody cared. About a guy, who DID good job. Why would they care about me?


OK you know what I'm just gonna let that slide cause clearly I gotta correct some negativity in here. Check it. If you really think town won't listen to what you have to say, that's fine. But I *personally* promise to you that if you post some cases and flip town, I will PUSH THEM for you after you die. You know me-- I can push a case. I'll find one that I find reasonable, and I'll supplement it with my own case. And this will be a grand turning point for TL towns. What do you say?

If you really think TL Towns are bad, whining rather than helping certainly won't make them good.

Come, Kurumi. Let's change things for the better.

All of the above posts are self-centric. They show that Blazinghand is obviously very aware of his own appearance this game, something that most townies (and least of all BH) don't care about very much.

Then we have this in response to VE:

Irony here is that he asks VE if he wasted a block, without even considering that he wasted his own. So why think that HiroPro's nuke was fake but not Chezinu's? Kind of a fail on BH's part here.

Also his whole back and forth with Kurumi was really weird given that Kurumi is essentially confirmed scum.

I have no name cache here, that's fine. But read this with an open mind. Seriously read point (1). Consider whether it makes sense.

(1) Sandroba's role is way, way, way too powerful
Not a single person here knows how sandroba's power works. Mafia, town, 5th party, whatever. Nobody is curious?

Nobody is thinking, jeez, in a game where mafia cannot communicate except through 2 messages per day cycle, 2 messages per night cycle, and there are NINE of them. A game where they might lynch each other, NK each other, use powers on each other. Nobody is going, holy balls, the ability to SEND FAKE MESSAGES is an incredibly, incredibly powerful role?

Think about it. The way sandroba used it, he's a cop. You ask someone to do something, if they do, they must have assumed it was from a mafia higher-up. So if they obey, they're mafia, you got this game's equivalent of a red check. Moreover, you're a cop that cannot be affected by any kind of framing power. Normal cops can be balanced out by gfs, millers, frames. A red check from a normal cop may or may not indicate scum. Saying "Hey use these 3 phrases in your next post to identify yourself" CANNOT be balanced by any mechanic at all. If they obey a message they received, when they had no idea anyone other than mafia could send messages, they must be mafia. Name a single other explanation, because when kurumi tried to give one, it sounded dumb and everyone agreed it sounded dumb.

Moreover, he's not just a cop. He can check people with that power, AND direct their actions. Not only does he know they're red when they follow orders, he can actively direct mafia action because messages are anonymous. He gets a red check AND gets to direct the actions of a mafia member, tell them who to go after, who to defend, etc.

Oh man, austinmcc, that DOES sound pretty powerful now that I think about it. He's a supercop that can't get false checks in a game where mafia have limited communication?


(2) Sandroba has played scum IN a sleeper cell game in which a powerful role fakeclaim helped win the game
Well, surely he wouldn't claim such a powerful role, right? He'd wait to use it a few more times. I mean, checks AND mafia action disruption, you'd want to keep that secret. Unless, of course, you'd played in another game where a ridiculous check helped win you the game. You know, like, say, Sleeper Cell Mafia. The game where sandroba rolled mafia with Ace as cell leader and Ace claimed the following role:
Show nested quote +
On May 02 2011 02:28 Ace wrote:
I'm an undercover Agent with 1 shot and get parts intercepted messages from the CL. So I have no more shots anyway and I'm pretty sure we're close to winning this especially seeing how panicked you are. If you are a townie you should be glad I chose correctly because if I missed I'd be automatically killed also. Something tells me you aren't though.

Ace skated by after claiming this, with the only person who was suspicious of his claim being another cell member. In the postgame, there was a decent bit of discussion about how town should have questioned Ace's claim given that he could (1) intercept messages and (2) shoot. Sandroba's claimed power is basically on about that level, because he's a combination cop and...disruptor? There's no name for that other role as far as I know. It's basically a townie who gets to sit in mafia QT but isn't mafia.


(3) Sandroba showed balls as a sleeper agent in that same game
Ace claimed to have shot GGQ N3. There was only one kill. Sandroba, as scum, claimed vet on D4 in order to account for the missing KP. So we KNOW he's got the balls to fakeclaim as scum in this style of game. We know that having those balls won him a game, as scum, in this style of game.




Maybe I'm being paranoid. But maybe that role is a little overpowered to be in a balanced game. Maybe sandroba can play ballsy as scum in this sort of game. Maybe, even if the role isn't overpowered, Sandroba should be smart enough not to out himself because he caught 1/9 of the mafia team with a role that friggin' powerful. Wouldn't you keep that to yourself and catch more? Wouldn't you catch more and actively disrupt mafia communication/actions?

THAT is why I wanted Sandroba to claim. That is why I find him scummy. Get offa mah nuts, because if you actually think about his role, you should be questioning it too. Either scum have RIDICULOUSLY powerful roles to balance things out, or town simply cannot have a guy who ends up being an uncounterable cop PLUS can actively plant fake mafia communications.


Why the hell would mafia need powerful roles when sandro's power can only be considered a oneshot use?

The games setup is designed so that mafia cannot explicitly identify others (no communication to higher ups as it's designed in the OP). Thus , a town role that, if used correctly, PUNISHES mafia for doing so is in line with the setup.

You can't compare it with a full fledged cop because it would only work once. Sandro's not gonna catch a scum with it tomorrow, for example.

Lastly, why do mafia need powerful roles in a setup in which they comprise half of the playerbase? They could kill themselves multiple times and the setup would still be balanced.

Also since I know you're not bad/neglectful as town, Austin; I come to the conclusion that you are mafia.

Your argument is poor and it only serves to shed doubt on sandro from a "what he did" perspective. You've stretched inordinately far to make your argument. You make it on the grounds of plausibility first (to make sandro as scum seem possible) whereas if the argument were as clear as you insinuate it to be, you'd have pushed sandro based on scum motivation.

Since you didn't choose that route I don't think your concern is something a townie would bring up.

Should he have claimed, I don't know, I think his argument that it makes mafia doubt all PMs is a legit reason to do so, more so when he is outing scum at the same time. Lets make mafia sort this out for now.

Why is sandro's power a oneshot use? He never said it was. If you think it's one shot because mafia will now doubt all messages, then isn't this game broken? The ONLY communication mafia have is these messages, top to bottom. If messages can no longer be trusted, mafia basically has no communication. They've always got to worry whether it's a legit message or town checking them out, and they have to just...guess as to what anonymous source it came from?

The ONLY reason Sandro can't catch someone with it tomorrow is because he claimed it after finding one single scummy player. Before he announced that, he could have caught every last scum with it. You're not looking at his power the right way, because you're looking at it only after he claimed. And even when known, it's still game-breaking.


You're not town.

This is not game breaking.

For anyone who is actually town and believes what Austin says, consider the following points:

1. Sandro's trick only works if you force a mafia to out themselves publicly.

2. Mafia can utilize commands that have absolutely nothing to do with public member identification.

3. A town player who has caught scum has the vested interest in outting that scum immediately in the case that he will die. In sandro's case this is immensely likely given that he is among the strongest scumhunters on the forum.

4. In accordance with the above 3 points the trick only works once.

Not to mention it takes a lot more skill than a cop check, and any smart scum would never out themselves. It #1 takes a stupid and careless scum and #2 it takes a skilled townie. Therefore the cop comparison sucks because the basic assumption of "every scum is dumb enough to believe and follow every anon message" utterly fails.

yo sandro who do you want to get lynched?

The voting thread is full of random votes on people who have no chance of dying today. This is honestly pathetic.

Palmar, why is your vote on Kurumi? Gonzaw, your vote on Foolishness is a waste. Austin is scum. Marv's vote is a waste.

I seriously doubt you're all scum, but as of right now a great majority of you are not actually reading the game or, even for that matter, playing in it. Some of you aren't reading and yet you still post drivel to the thread. If you're town, shape it up. You should know why Kurumi is not getting any votes today, and you should be working to consolidate a lynch.

The role itself already cripples mafia. You can plant false messages. You can direct their targets. It's not a choice between giving mafia certainty and giving mafia doubt. Here's the super important distinction. It's actually a choice between giving mafia certainty that they shouldn't have (they are certain any directions are coming from scumbuddies, when in fact they are being directed by a townie) vs. giving mafia doubt.

What's mafia's main advantage in this game? Large numbers. What's mafia's main disadvantage this game? Less information, can't confirm each other.

BOTH of these lead to it being more likely mafia will kill each other. Accidentally, or on purpose (the cost of bussing a member of a 9-man team is less than the cost of bussing a member of a 3 or 6-man team). Since you don't know each other's identities, you don't get much town cred from just voting a guy. But making up a role to trick scum into outing themselves, now there's some town cred. Normal bussing = less cred this game. So you've just figured out a creative way to bus to get yourself cred.

Not 100% on this atm but currently the rule is they can't give absolute statements, just orders. i,e no 'players x y z are not mafia, get them killed,' just, 'harass player x.' If they are blatant about trying to give out teammates then they'll be censored. Given enough time executives might figure out ways to smuggle information past the censors but it won't be without risk. There may be other mechanics in place to interfere with such play if it is tried.

There are redundancy factors in place for communication once someone dies but they will be less than normal. In normal games the town wants to prioritize certain mafia to eliminate powers (especially in PYP games) or reduce kp. As eliminating mafia will not reduce kp here, the focus should be geared at disrupting communication by removing the executives.

This has already been refuted in how it doesn't cripple mafia.

Players in a given game aren't mindless drones. If you try to trap someone the way sandro did, only a careless player will get caught.

For example, I would never do what Kurumi did because as scum I tend to operate alone. I don't trust even my scumbuddies because often it is they who get me killed. It is here where Austin's comparison to a cop fails and if he were town he would realize this. In fact he wouldn't be so concerned about balance that hurts mafia when the balance of a role does not determine the holder's alignment.

This is also very easily answered and it's clear that Austin has an agenda here.

A townie has an interest in keeping his role secret if he believes he's going to die. Why? Town doesn't benefit very much from knowing the player's role because we can't honestly expect to gain anything from it. What are we going to gain? Some useless knowledge about the specifics of his role that don't affect us because it's he who has it, not us. We can't catch scum based on knowing how his role works.

However, there is a HUGE benefit for scum if sandro claims. They then know what they are up against and can decide whether or not to kill, or roleblock sandro.

This is different, for example, from asking someone about an ability they have claimed to use (for example a block or a nuke) and asking them to roleclaim in full. VE called me out for "rolefishing" earlier and that's disingenuous on his part. I was trying to get at something based on whether VE had a block or not and he refused, it just means we can't progress any further. I never asked for him to actually roleclaim (because to me his role doesn't matter). There's a difference here, but it's subtle. I don't want to really dig further because it may prove useful later to hold onto this info.

Here's where Austin's argument utterly fails and his agenda shines through.

First of all, sandro's probably the laziest scum I've ever played with. Unless he's magically become so good at playing mafia, the chance of him being scum right now is next to 0.

Remember what I said about Austin having to his plausibility as the basis of his argument? Well, he tries to make it plausible first that sandro could be scum before even considering actually calling him scum. The problem is that it's not very plausible because in order to believe sandro is scum you have to ignore Occam's Razor and ignore a vast amount of motivational evidence that is already present in the thread that points toward sandro being town.

I've already shown that it is in the interest of scum and not town to seek a full roleclaim from sandro. It's also obviously in the interest of mafia to kill sandro right now, and it's in the interest of mafia to undermine sandro so that the damage is minimized.

None of these things have town motivations for a player of austin's calibre. Trust me, he's not bad and he's not stupid. I've seen his reads myself and normally they are well thought out and not logically inconsistent or convoluted. Wiggles's LVI is a great read if you don't believe me.

also, I forgot to mention that if a townie thinks he's going to die, his death is his full roleclaim. It forces scum to do something about him, whereas if he roleclaimed in full before dying scum could simply choose not to kill him based on the knowledge he has then provided them.

Last thing I wanted to say is that if players like GGQ and BM continue to stay on the outskirts of town discussion then we need to start considering putting bullets into their skulls and nooses around their necks. Layabout falls into this category too, and since I see there are too many players like this for now, we need to move on and kill the players we can actually formulate reads on.

By no means is this a free pass. I'm pretty tired of people signing up for games and not playing.

I played in both LV and LVI. I was NoSmurfHere in LVI.

In LVI Austin had posts like these:

I'm not comfortable with a Broodking lynch right at this point, although it looks like that wagon has passed somewhat. For one thing, from what I remember, he's been mislynched a few times (out of a small sample size).
  • Newbie XIII, D1 mislynch
  • Student Mafia, D3 mislynch
  • "Area" LIII, modkilled after D3, so no mislynch. Anyone in that game remember him looking scummy?

I'll admit that I don't find "BKE often looks scummy as town" to be strong reasoning, but for D1 it's enough that I don't want lynch him. I also thought BKE had played in another game or two, but didn't see more in his profile.

However, I'd love for him to clarify his first post, given all this discussion. Broodking, you say that you don't consider those with 4 or 5 games newbies. The rest of the players seem to disagree, and I know that I do (no more newbie games allowed =/= not a newbie in my mind). IF you accept a much more broad definition of noob, like the thread seems to want, would you alter your first post? Should people with something like 4-8 games be treated like the noobs in your post, or treated like more seasoned players?


I'm alright with adding my vote to mK right now. The whole "role name" thing is actually what I thought Mattchew was referring to earlier when he said a previous poster looked super townie to him, and that was my dumb "don't think you should be trusting that" post. It's in VT pms, it's in the OP, if scum received the VT pm then they had it too, etc. Worried that mK's reaction is a blue who didn't read vs. scum who didn't read (those are the obvious options, so don't get on my junk about possibly revealing blues), but if so, he can defend himself if he ever returns to the thread. The absence in the face of votes doesn't look good to me from that standpoint.


NoSmurf, initially I read you as one of the more sensible and townie folks in the thread. However, this caught my eye somewhat:

You seem to sincerely believe in such terrible logic, so you're probably town. However I'm not voting BKE just because it's day 1. I don't think anything he's done or said is so far particularly scummy. At no point have I agreed with that terrible case, so why bother acknowledging that the rest of you are idiots for bandwagoning him?

On the other hand mafia lurk to shake suspicion ALL the time. mK seemingly has done exactly this, and if he's mafia certainly it's working.

So, in this case, obviously I'm far more inclined to believe that the guy who is actively trying to stop a bad lynch is town whereas the scummy lurker is not. If mK is town he has a huge incentive to address the votes on him and make a case on his scumreads rather than disappear immediately after voting. Also speculating about his status is pretty stupid when I voted for him fairly quickly after he posted.

I do remember that game, one of my favourites. The difference between sephirotharg and casualman is that sephiroth was trying and making errors, casualman is not even trying at all, just acting obnoxiously.

Vigs, shoot him tonight. Lets not waste a lynch and a full day cycle worth of discussion on someone who is trolling us.

##VOTE: BKE

I expected this game to start in like a week or sth. I'll promise to catch up with the thread and be more active beginning tomorrow.

If you're not caught up why did you vote?


I had read the first ten pages and it seemed to be the best option. Haven't changed my mind now that I'vve caught up. It's day1 tho, I don't expect a 100% surefire candidate to pop up this early.

Could you maybe share some of your decision making process?

You know, so that we can see you did more than place your vote on the guy with the most votes.


sure.

On Day1, I feel like there's only two good options for town.
a) kill a lurker
b) kill a guy that causes trouble just hours into the game

I don't like option a). Playing as mafia is fun. You hang around in a chat channel and make your plans. You're probably more busy with the chat than writing in the thread, but still... you're less likely to lurk. If the mafia is smart, they will have a couple of lurkers, but definitely not the majority so the odds of killing a town lurker is a lot higher on day1.

BKE qualifies for option b). Whether or not he's mafia, I personally don't like people in my game that use words like "scummy" judging people's first post in the game. Noone has posted enough in this game that I could possibly have built a good enough opinion on them, but apparently he can do that.
I'm not even going to address his newbie-theory.

I'm not saying I'm sure about BKE whatsoever, but he's our best option in my book.


This post stinks. You seem to be ignoring the obvious third choice for town on day 1: we lynch someone acting scummy. You're recommending we lynch BKE on the basis that you don't like people casting early judgments. This is encouraging a passive game, are you afraid of a little bit of heat?

You seem to want to punish BKE for playing badly rather than lynch him for being scum, a scum's bread-and-butter move. In addition, your vote just looks like a blatant bandwagon on the guy currently leading the vote count, you only justified it afterwards when MajuGarzett questioned you about it 5 hours later.

I think you are scum.

##Vote: Mandalor


this is a good case and these are all things I picked up on myself when I read mandalor's posts.

I am completely fine with Mandalor and mKmKmK being lynched today.
Anyone else will take some serious convincing. For now I'm going to keep my vote on mK, but in the interest of consolidation and actually lynching someone I have a scumread on, if that lynch doesn't fly I'll push Mandalor with you.

Care to explain your train of thought? Over the course of 2 hours, you went from "probably town" to "completely fine with Mandalor lynch/scumread on Mandalor." Would like for you to articulate why you changed your read there.


In this post he comments on the day 1 lynch (BKE) and correctly identifies him as town. My basis on d1 that game for identifying the strongest town players was those who agreed with my assessment that BKE was town. Austin was one of those players and he was shot like n2 because he had at least 3 correct reads and he rapidly established himself as town (though he was unlikely to be protted).

He was one of the only players who suspected Acrofales and he supported me in my Katina push.

I don't remember much from LV but based on a skim of his filter there I do think that marv is right about that, that he was concerned with MZ + Kita + Toad being scum.

However I do strongly believe that Austin is a capable player and a capable scumhunter. In particular his question to Kurumi of "aren't you curious about what out-ed you?" is incredibly strange. He's treating Kurumi like scum, but instead of moving on and trying to find other scum he tries to get sandro to roleclaim. What difference does knowing sandro's role make in determining sandro's alignment?

I mean, there are 9 scum in this game. It's phenomenally easy to scumhunt just in terms of numbers, yet Austin's sole concern has been the balance of sandro's claimed role. In LV I don't remember him frothing at the mouth because he thought kita + MZ + toad were scum together.

That NSH post was me, I was looking at my past posts and forgot to log out.

For background, the LV MZ/kita/toad thing went kinda like this (and MZ can confirm this):

MZ was shot and masoned by Toad on some night (or it might've been different nights, but he was shot + masoned) and kita was the medic who protected MZ.

Kita was under a lot of lynch pressure on a later day and so claimed medic and said he protected MZ. There was no counterclaim and so essentially MZ and kita were confirmed.

The question arose of whether MZ and kita could be faking together as scum and this was partially what austin was concerned with (though not nearly as fervently as he is here)

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=336250&currentpage=123#2456

look at that post (go to the filter) and then like the next 5-6 posts.

Note that throughout that, in the background he's still considering other suspects. He's not solely concerned about his idea that kita + meapak + toad could be scum, and he's still considering other options. Here I don't see that, his sole concern all game has been your role. Now the comparison isn't 1 to 1 since the setups are different, but I suppose it's still useful.

So what? Your first scum game was LV, wasn't it?

Acrofales's first game ever was GoT and he basically crushed town that game.

My first scum game was MLP and I didn't have a hard time playing mafia.

it was LIV, quickly followed by LV

I don't understand your point. It's what slOosh says there - what's the payoff for going after sandroba and causing THIS discussion we're having now?

Did austin really think he was going to get sandroba to claim to him and help scum or something? I don't think so.

Your entire post (look! players who are good at scum without practice!) is effectively disproven by the fact that austin is close to getting lynched now for making a fucking dumbass play.


so your argument is that if it's his first scum game, he won't be doing a very good play.

Clearly you just argued against your own point, did you not? Like you need a valid reason to actually consider him town. This is not a very good reason. The whole "but this play doesn't have scum benefits" doesn't really fly when your argument for him being town revolves around him not playing optimally. If he's not playing optimally then ofc it won't have clear scum benefits.

However all of that is kind of moot when it DOES have scum benefits. Outting sandro's role under the guise of a curious townie gives mafia info that they otherwise would not have. Easiest way to do that is to threaten to waste your vote until sandro claims, and then change it. A worse player than sandro may have just claimed and this whole situation would've disappeared long ago.

ok this post is good because i can break it down into two parts

1) i just don't think austin would be blatant like you say there
2) you are absolutely correct that he hasn't scumhunted and that's why i'm torn on the lynch


You think a first time scum player wouldn't be so "blatant".

Isn't that what a lot of first time scum players are??!!

He can't be both so either way you are wrong =P. Seriously now if you are going to argue something first form an useful opinion.


haha I don't think he understands this.

He himself says he's torn on Austin's alignment yet he's using two different reasons to call Austin two different alignments, then says he disagrees when he doesn't have an opinion in the first place.

I always find it funny when people confuse themselves out of good lynches based on what they perceive to be a play they themselves would or would not make in another person's shoes. It's happened a lot before and it usually ends up being the wrong idea. People used it in GoT to say Acro couldn't be scum (no way a new scum would do this!). I did it in LIV where I said "no way scum would bus each other like this!" until Toad vet claimed...lol.

Happens all the time, Occam's Razor is our friend IMO. The simplest breakdown is that Austin has not scumhunted and he has solely been concerned with sandro's roleclaim. This is unprecedented behavior, because as town Austin at the very least comments on lynch candidates (such as BH and layabout in this game). So far all game he has done nothing but call for sandro's roleclaim. In addition he never (afaik) directly calls sandro scum.

Anyway I'm going to leave this here for now. The best lynches for today are Austin, BH, layabout. If we have 5-6 hours left then consolidation needs to occur soon.

I'm not confident gonzaw is scum, but I don't have time to argue this. I have a HW deadline in 5 hours and I'm about to head out to finish it.

Since it's extended majority, voting for BH is probably not a great idea, even though I want to keep him on the table -_-

lol you remember the couples-game where RoL and Kurumi were together in your scumteam and they just did absolutely nothing? like 3 posts total or something like that :-D

ah yes, well it's not optimal, but i am not unhappy about RoLs decision. I mean with kurumi as a sure lynchtarget, we probably wouldn't have been discussing other lynchtargets and stuff in this extend.
It sucks that we had a nolynch, but even from a no-lynch we can get a lot of information. we haven't lost this game yet, that's for sure.


same thing happened in Storm with RoL -_- (but Kurumi was on town)

also I have been doing HW. My vote was on BH. Nothing anyone could really do, honestly. We all thought Kurumi was dead.

What's your point? So Blazinghand would have gotten lynched anyways, and definitely a lot of people did not have an issue with that. Then you decide to switch to austin. Then you decide to switch to gonzaw. Then you decide to switch back. All in a 10 hour period.

You know better than that.


I didn't decide to switch to gonzaw. I wasn't even here when people started calling gonzaw scum. I only switched my vote to ensure there was a lynch. When I saw that gonzaw was still behind I switched back.

Here you are pointing fingers when your vote was wasted most of all.

Hardly. There were two non-voters (one of which is still alive) and still three people on Austin. And in the grand scheme of things everyone's vote was wasted because nobody got lynched.

You can't honestly expect to sit there and pin this on me or anyone else with a "stupid" vote. I know I was gone right after the austin thing came up and didn't come back until just now. You and everyone else here knows that when the votes switch from person to person in the hours before deadline a no-lynch is the usual outcome. It's practically written in the mafia guide.

And what I know is that you and sandroba were the initial force behind the austin switch. You might have not been here for the gonzaw switch initially, but juding by the voting thread you were one of the starters on the wagon back towards Blazinghand (you were the first person to vote off of gonzaw onto him).


I'm not pinning this on anyone specifically, you accused me of wasting my vote first. Yes, everyone is to blame for the failure. Some are just more culpable than others. What's the point of saying myself and sandro were the cause of it? I tried to get people to consolidate repeatedly. I was somewhat successful but when I was afk things changed. I can't control that. (not to mention I'm one member of town out of 18 or whatever it is)

We can play this childish game all you want but it's not what I expect of you as town. Your behavior right now is incredibly strange.

Okay, several things:

I can confirm that there is at least one messaging power that can be used on townies. I received this after the daypost:

Congratulations! You tripped down some stairs and hit your head. When you woke up, you realized that you were actually a member of the House Chezinu!

That's right! You are now part of the third party, House Chezinu! The first order of business is to get out there and make it known to the world! You'll need some more members to get this really rolling, so spread the word and get recruiting! Once a cycle, you may recruit someone. Simply type "##Recruit: <name> in the thread, and you will be able to recruit a new member! You may use this ability once per day! (Once per cycle, at night) However, you may only have a total of three members besides yourself.

You're part of House Chezinu, so you're above win conditions. (You're already part of House Chezinu, what more do you need to win?) But maybe you can unite the workers in a glorious revolution!

P.S., There's no House Chezinu like a house with Chezinu. Just sayin.


And I confirmed with the host that this is a player-sent message.

Secondly we have two near-confirmed scum in Kurumi and Zealos. If you're a vig or you have any sort of night KP it might be a good idea to kill them given that tomorrow will likely be a wash if they're alive.

That seems like a message Foolishness would send me. He's probably scum. The other possibility is Chezinu or someone who wants me to think Foolishness sent me that message.

As for scum given how blatant their behavior seems I think the simplest route is to kill the confirmed ones first and then the scumreads that multiple people agree upon.

Right now ignoring Zealos and Kurumi that looks like:

Foolishness
GGQ
Meapak
Layabout

And potentially:
Katina

These are among my strongest reads as I've gone back and reexamined things. I was likely wrong about both BH and Austin (or they've been given ample warning into changing their play -_-).

I personally would also consider killing BM and Qbert because they're useless, but all of the named above are likelier to flip scum IMO (katina included; I lean scum but not confident)

And no, I'm not going to use that command. In fact I'm suspicious of you for asking because it's possible scum rigged that as a keyword for a bomb placed on me.

It's foolishness, or someone who played in PYP:Interesting. That could be almost anyone given that this game has a lot of players from that one.

My fellow workers, it seems you have all been busy. I must take full responsibility for all of this spammy play, I forgot to hang the motivational posters, and encourage smart working, instead of hard working!

To answer those of you who asked for an explanation, I shall oblige you, and aqueous to your request for more information on my whereabouts before the lynch.

Long and short, traveling. I spent a good portion of my time in the air yesterday, and wasn't able to participate. I did put my vote on Sir Blazing once I saw that the only two likely lynches were the aforementioned Sir Blazing, and Gone Zzz. At that point I had landed but was still in transit, so I was able to monitor the thread to some extent in case my vote was needed elsewhere, but Sir Blazing remained the best place for my vote. Hope that clears things up for you.

Now, onto business. If the Mafia indeed have KP as Kurumi's existence would suggest, I have no doubt that the town will also have KP of it's own. People have suggested a night shot on Kurumi, however I must protest against such an action as it has denies the primary function of a vigilante type role: That of being able to shoot those scum you cannot lynch. Save Vig shots for lurkers, and people you can't build cases on. Save the lynch for obvious scum. (Unless you want to no-lynch tomorrow too.)



Yes, you want to leave the guy with A CONFIRMED NUKE POWER alive for another day, on the off chance it is one shot use.

No, you and your stupid roleplaying has no use here. Kurumi dies tonight if there is a vig.

bugs, you don't agree with Palmar re: layabout then?


No: on the simple basis that if layabout were town and he were having difficulties he'd have replaced out by now

Scum layabout is pretty lazy, and that's the #1 word that comes to mind when I think of his play this game

I wouldn't assume this. I never read PYP:Interesting yet even I've heard of House Chezinu.


Yes, but for the message to come to me specifically most likely points to Foolishness or someone who was with me in that game, because that was the origin of House Chezinu (and I was one of the three in it)

I recall reading in Holy Roman people were speculating about it and most noninvolved players didn't know the whole story.

Who cares? Vigis should shoot scum, and anyone that's confirmed scum should die immediately.

This is a closed setup, speculating about whether the nuke use is one shot or not is pointless. We don't know and we can't know. Telling vigis to shoot elsewhere is a recipe for a townie getting shot.

I agree with syllo and sandro about Palmar. His play this game reminds me of Liar Game.

also btw kurumi, that play was beyond retarded.

Both the nuke and the breadcrumbing that you are mafia. Both of them, really really stupid.

Although I can't tell whether that was worse than what RoL did.

Sandro I'm sad you didn't thank me for taking a bullet for you n1

Palmar: I disagree that you can't play "good mafia", it just takes a radically different mindset. There are not many (if any) players who are exceptional at both factions but certainly there are several who are good at both. A couple of the newer players have impressed me on that front.

Thanks to the hosts!
