Sup everybody

I have come around in my thinking from previous games and agree that lynching lurkers is a good policy to have. When the town is inactive or loses its active players it is very easy for the scum to start leading the town. In my first game my scum buddies were able to dominate the conversation. In my last game that son of a bitch hapa cost me my perfection and i have been in mourning ever since.

Its redemption time



Alright lets not go accusing people of lurking in the first 2 or so hours into the game. We have 48 hours and while i want to see activity its important to remember this is forum mafia there will be times people can be active and not active.


You can easily go back and see the results of that game. takes 2 seconds and now people are going to start questioning your effort

Speaking of previous games i would like to know how yourharry is going to aproach this game. If we are going to get your logic that makes no sense where your "sure" sombody is town or mafia i say we lynch you know before your logic festers and contaminates the town. One of the reason i lynched calgar in my previous game is because he actually used your logic in his own defense. Unforgivable in my view.

Your thoughts?

Promethelax might be trying to be quieter than last game, because those 10 posts in six hours were a big part of getting him lynched, were they not?

I should probably be doing the same, but posting is just so much DAMN FUN.

You start off with the unreadable post, instead of fixing it you make a joke. Yes that point is old, and we've been over it already.

Then you vote without giving a reason:

Just to jump onto somebody else right after (note that none of either players you accuse have posted inbetween):
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=355874&currentpage=9#174

Both players have also FoS'd you before that, so you respond by voting for them.

When pointed out by the powers that be that you are voting wrong, you go back to voting Promethelax instead

I'd like for you to make sense of that, for I cannot.
Your play is confusing to me, because as town, I don't see why you'd do that.

simple question

Why was calgar town?

On August 08 2012 02:46 Keirathi wrote:

Its not that. Its just that he played EXACTLY the way he did in XXI, in which he got lynched for it. People that were in that game with him would see that he was playing the same way, aka still a "bad townie" rather than a scum.

It might night have worked forever, but I was certainly reading town on him this early as an outsider.

If there is anything, could the coaches say if there were some obvious tells, or opportunities to apply pressure were missed by town?
I know it was barely 2 days, so I don't actually expect anything big to be in there, but just in case, I'd like to know

I'd like to know what the next things mean : Fluff, OMGUS, WIFOM, FOS !

@Hapha

I mixed up Calgar and Hapha, LOL. I meant to say, "Hapha, agreed?"

@mkfuba

Do you agree that Hapha is most-likely town? Your last post, though, is basically a fluff and it also makes me wonder how you possibly missed Hapha's change in stance against lynching me. Did you draw scum again?

Oh sup iamperfection - what do you think of the recent preceedings? We think Sideni's reactions make him a horribad townie. I also have a bad-townie read on Lvdr. Any of those players seem suspicious? I think we're heading in the waaaaay wrong direction as it stands with votes piled on Sideni.

This is spam. It adds no content to the thread and drowns out valid arguments which are critical for us to see so close to the voting deadline.

Axero is definitely looking scummier than he did before. But I'm not ready to rule out his actions as being those of a bad townie yet.

But there was like, NO way Sideni was scum.

He's not the best at logic and shit, so we can only speculate until he explains this.


top 3 coaching right here

Baller Coach:


That's a bit too general. I can offer some vague advice though:

Step 1 is to vote your top scumread, and explain why to the thread. Now that you’re voting, what to do to further your contribution to the town, I wonder? It’s really simple: you need to strengthen your read. You almost certainly aren’t immediately convinced someone is 100% scum. No, rather, you’re far more likely to have a weak—at best—read.

How do you further that read?

You think someone is scum. (Alternatively, you have formed an opinion that someone is town, and you believe it is important enough to mention in-thread.) I hate to assign hard percentages to the concept, but because I figure you probably want some, let’s just say You’re more than 33% sure they’re scum, but not more than 80%.

You want to draw attention to them.


You vote them, (or support them if you think they’re town) and at this stage, you most likely explain why you have that opinion. Note that you don’t have to explain the opinion in order to express it. Even a one-liner, even a question…they’re your statements on a subject, even if they’re not fully visible. If you ask someone “Why did you do X?”, it’s not that hard to form the conclusion that you find X to be a questionable activity, something worthy of scrutiny, and almost always, at least slightly suspicious—yet you might not ever say you find X to be suspicious.


Essentially, anything you decide to post is meant to draw attention to that player, and express your opinion on them, be it that they’re town, or that they’re scum. The latter is more likely than the former. (You tend not to need to want to draw attention to a player you think is town, though there are situations where you will.)

They will be forced to react, generating new information.

With that additional information, your read will either be strengthened, or weakened. And from there, you will be capable of forming a more solid opinion on a matter, which is a good thing.

I really don't understand what you mean by that.

Lets say, for instance, that Hapa told you he was cop. The mafia don't know that he's the cop, so they aren't necessarily going to kill him.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you?
