Personally, as scum, I love policy lynches that aren't "Lynch All Liars". If the town lynches based on policy and not behaviors and inconsistencies then mafia can hide behind the policy lynch and kill townies day in and day out. There's no serious reason for a townie to abstain from voting besides the fear of voting for the wrong person or a general lack of interest in the game, something that is less common with scum. Newer scum players also have a team to advise them on how to act whereas a newer or less confident townie can only rely on his or her own judgment. Are scum given safe roleclaims or specific town-aligned role names? | ||

Lying is more directly meaningful. If you vote just for lurkers, the mafia can congregate and influence the vote to lynch a town-aligned lurker so I don't think it helps much. You have to consider content first. Anyway, it's too early for me to say if I have any reads at all. I've yet to read anything that has jumped out at me. | ||

In any case, lies deserve more analysis and suspicion than someone not posting for a couple hours. That's all. When I say I could get behind LAL as a policy lynch, I think people should vote and pressure people caught lying to force them to defend themselves and post often. That's the worst case scenario for scum anyway. | ||

Are you suggesting that scum here might decide to put all their votes on one lynch? No but let's say there are 3 lurkers in the game. 1 is scum and 2 are town. Scum have consolidated voting power and they only need to win by 1 vote to get a townie lynched. All they have to do is have one person vocally push one of the town lurkers. When that person flips green, that person might come under mild suspicion but it'll likely get buried before the day is through. Chances are town will vote for that lurker too so it's not really that helpful to analyze the votes. When you lynch a lurker you don't learn anything because there wasn't any behavior or real analysis behind it. You just move onto the next lurker and hope they're scum this time. That doesn't mean scum have to put all their votes on the same dude or even push the same guy. It's never that black and white. | ||

Town wouldn't breadcrumb if they know mafia has a safeclaim and they wouldn't breadcrumb without knowing that. He didn't ask. Mafia, however, immediately like to abuse any defense they have. There is inherent guilt. If supplied with a safeclaim it's a very reasonable thing to do. I missed the Zephirrds post about the safeclaims because I'm very unattentive. When I first entered the thread, I only scanned and read the longer posts and made my comments about policy lynches. I forgot the game was starting tonight and saw my role PM right before I was about to watch a movie. Why would a townie, after making a specific reference to his role name then immediately post that he will no longer be using real role names? Why would he even need to tell us that? Is he afraid someone is going to point it out as an inconsistency? the first two posts in the thread are him and they're both passively defensive. Scum like to announce things that are meaningless for some reason. In his post history, he only goes on and on about lurkers and other bullshit like that. It's so tired and worthless. "Lurking is anti-town." What a revelation. Mafia are no more likely to lurk than town are and if town goes on a "let's kill the lurkers" bend how easy is it for the scum team to tell everyone on the team to just post a lot? It's stupid. ##vote Hapahauli Also, just an aside regarding "reads". I consider them totally worthless. I will post and try to get someone lynched if I think they are mafia. I will not post a list of "suspects" or "reads" or make bullet points or anything like that. It has no value. Waste of a post. I almost made VE quit a game because I talked down on him so much for posting reads lists and other things like that so don't expect that out of me regardless of my alignment. | ||

Imagine if you had a town that actually just lynched the person with the least posts every day. Mafia would auto-win. It's stupid. This charge against me is bald-faced OMGUS. Of course it's not a rock solid case. It's Day 1. I wouldn't even bet 10 bucks on it. | ||

Also, the miller claim. It basically protects scum from the DT. If you get DT checked you'd return scum in stead of self-aware miller so nobody can confirm it until you're dead and it gives you a point of argument if you do get DT checked. I need to go over his first post a bit closer but By the way can we please not lynch or FoS people for being absent from the thread until certain times? I normally wake up between 2-4 PM PST and am quite busy most of the day so keep that in mind. On September 01 2012 04:59 marvellosity wrote: Alright. You and ghost were both doing the same thing effectively so the explanation is reasonable. I don't wanna lynch Mementoss. He's cute. The thing with Blackmamba - the case was bad, ok.

I'd fucking love to policy lynch Zentor but annoyingly I can't quite bring myself to ![]() ##Vote: Blackmamba24 Because only scum sleep in late or get sinus infections. I don't think there is a clear disconnect in the way Marvellosity sees MrZentor. If, in his mind, he thinks lynching Zentor is a good idea he's going to be biased and find and see things that support that preconceived notion. I'm guilty of building connections based on bad cases or even people I wasn't really that suspicious of because I want to be right. It's something that happens. I think SNB's strange disconnect is a lot more suspicious. I need to carefully read his first post some more because his claim did throw me off which is why if he is indeed scum I congratulate him for doing a move like that. | ||

You're right - now I'mma gonna lynch you. Of course you think that, I voted for you. You're using a lot of strong language but not providing any reason why we should always policy lynch lurkers. There is value in pressuring lurkers at certain stages in the game because scum need to be forced to talk but it's not that simple. | ||

Ok, you're not worth talking to. Anyway can anyone familiar with strongandbigs meta tell me if it is normal for him, as town, to make huge fucking posts immediately and add a ton of bravado like that into anything he says cause if not I'm saying we should lynch him. | ||

Do you disagree that if there are no reasonable cases, a policy or lurker lynch makes sense? I really don't see this "contradiction". Even if something is a bad choice, sometimes there are no better choices, and at that point in the day it looked like this lynch might be one of those times. There's always a case. There's always a weird feeling about something someone said that seemed "off" or even a connection between two players. It's just weird that you didn't qualify that statement or mention your distaste for policy lynches until later, it makes it seem to me, like you're trying to appear as "with the town" as you can. | ||

I'll probably make up my mind within the next few hours, I need to meditate or at least have some breakfast. | ||

Even if he historically makes smaller posts as town, I can't imagine why making larger posts would make him mafia, even on a meta-basis. One scum almost always takes it upon themselves to make large posts early on and establish themselves as very very "pro-town". They love buzzwords like "anti-town" and other stupid things like that. I just can't see any reason for a townie to spend that much time, early in the game, establishing their townieness unless there is a mayoral election or something like that. The fakeclaim is throwing me off. There's also that contradiction that you yourself pointed out. I can understand why a scum player would defend me as well, they might be thinking there's no reason to go after me early on and get OMGUS'd or get my attention when they can kill me at night but I'm not really that good. My town meta is to pin the entire mafia team Day 2 and then vote for everyone else instead. | ||

##Vote Mementoss Something inside me screams "no god no" when there is an "easy" lynch Day 1 but there's no getting around how wishy washy Mementoss is with his first accusation, easiest player to accuse in the game because he's unlikely to even be motivated enough to defend himself adequately, and throws in a lot of useless reads (god i hate when people post "reads") which just clutters up a post which should be focused. @Shady you should probably wait more than 20 minutes before you get mad about people "ignoring" your case btw. If your problem is Ghost not making real cases and being wishy washy (something that checks out with his meta, as he even said as town in one game that he generally refuses to make cases) then why the rogue vote on him instead of mmtoss? | ||

Occam's razor, man. One terrible case is excusable, but two is too much to be a coincidence. I mean seriously, what you're saying is that I tried too hard to help town out when I told everyone that I'm a miller, and therefore I must be scum? In what world does that make sense? I haven't played mafia in a long time but you can go back through every game I played and this has always been my main argument on Day 1. I would have nailed GMarshal with it that one time but I second-guessed myself and got in an argument with kavdragon and killed him instead. I've seen it happen in every game I've hosted or been scum in. Usually when I'm scum, I'm the one out there establishing myself as townie as possible. You'll notice I didn't vote for you though so maybe you should relax | ||

In Arkham he even lied about being the leader of the scum team just to fuck with people and iirc he was town (or maybe third party) in that. Hapahauli, reread MMtoss's defense. Is it really convincing? He doesn't defend himself so much as he attacks Shady Sands (while not voting for him or accusing him, odd.) who in my mind is one of the most obviously town players here. He just says what he's doing isn't scummy but I really don't agree. The way he throws his "reads" (i.e. always useless scummy fluff shit) into a case which is a bad case to begin with is completely off-base. This could be a case of bad town, it's Day 1 we statistically are almost sure to lynch a townie today, but at least it's something. Palmar gives us nothing. The flip is useless. This is a policy "I don't like Palmar" vote. The only "case" against him is a lazy meta read. Even if Mementoss flips town we have another thing to consider when going back through Day 1 and reading peoples posts. Palmar is a bad vote. The worst vote. | ||

Relooking at some filters, I'm growing a bit wary of HiroPro, and his actions seem to follow a scum thought-process.
Thoughts? That's a bit misleading. He was not convinced at all by MMtoss' first defense and only unvoted after MMtoss cleared it up further. If he was looking for a reason to drop his case, he would have done it sooner than that. MMtoss later addresses HiroPro's main suspicion and the answer satisfied him. | ||

On September 01 2012 09:19 Node wrote: I'm going to vote for BlackMamba. Here's why: This is such an incredibly wrong and scummy statement that it's unbelievable. Think about what it means for just a second. Mamba is saying that going out of your way to establish your townieness is unnecessary -- even scummy. It's even one of the first rules in Ver's guide: establish your own innocence in order to create a good atmospere and make it easier to find scum. (forgive me for not citing it directly at this moment; my resources are limited) Now, why would he want to enforce this? Only scum could possibly want to establish an atmosphere where showing your innocence is a bad thing. There's also the insinuation that claiming self-aware miller is a poor choice, the questionable case against Hapa (dismissed with an "I wasn't-really-trying" excuse), and the statement that voting for someone doing as little as Palmar would actually be a bad idea. All of this comes together to show somebody that isn't trying to establish a pro-town atmosphere, is pushing the wrong targets, and is definitely scum. ##vote BlackMamba24 I've played in a million games with you saying the same thing every time and this is the first time you've said anything about it. It's been something I looked for ever since RoL nailed the fuck out of Annul in my mini mafia game for it and after I missed axing GMarshal for the same thing. Other good scumhunters have looked for this. Inherent guilt leads to scum trying to establish innocence when not necessary. Concerning themselves with making themselves looking town instead of finding scum. I never dismissed my case against HApa, I'm just not voting for him now because I feel better about something else. Is till think his first two posts were stupid and set off little scum alarms in my head. But they're little. It was 5 hours into the game. It's nice to see you come back into the game after a day with a case that sounds like it was written by someone else at the last minute to push the vote to get rid of me | ||

BUt I thought the main criticism of HiroPro other than that was that his case was a summation of Hapahauli's suspicions of mementoss? Hapahauli told me himself that after reading his defense he thought MMtoss was town for that. But if HiroPro comes to the same conclusion that makes him scum? don't be stupid. | ||

It's misleading to say he tunneled anyone the entire game because he made his case, asked for a proper response, got it soon after. You can't say he changed his mind instantly AND tunneled this person all game. Those two statements contradict each other in principle. What you should be saying is the case he made on Mementoss was too strong to be dropped so easily, but then that's also admitting that it was a valid case in the first place. It's weird to be the basis of someones case against someone which more or less puts you on their side and then accuse them of being scum for coming to the same conclusion as you and in fact HiroPro came to that conclusion LATER than Haupa did. Haupa pointed out his first defense to me as the thing that made him think MMtoss was town (which seems to be a change of heart from the beginning of the game) whereas HiroPro rejected that and waited for a more direct response. That's what real pressure is. This is ridiculous. | ||

He didn't drop it because you pressured it, he didn't drop it until MMtoss directly answered his question and main point of his case. I don't see what is so hard to understand about that... | ||

Haupa just relax for one minute and take a step back. Why is it scummy to change your mind? why is it scummy to accept someones defense? If his intention was to build a fake case, why didn't he drop it earlier when MMToss initially defending himself? Why continue to pressure then drop it as soon as he gives a more direct answer? That proves, to me, that he had a genuine interest in his case. | ||

You're wandering away from the point. You have no real reason to put suspicion on anyone for changing their mind based on a defense when it's something everyone does. Maybe you have some sort of weird solipsitic viewpoint but it's pretty clear to me reading both your filters that you had nothing to do with HiroPro dropping his pressure on Mementoss. | ||

I've been only sitting down for increments of like 10-15 minutes and because there's so little to go off of on Day 1 (relatively) there is a lot of second guessing and hard thought to be put into it that I don't currently have time for. If I end up with a DT power or something like that, I'll be a lot less anxious about things. It's not unusual for me as town to change my vote something like 8 or 10 times on Day 1 and I'm trying to avoid doing that now. | ||
