Surely you shouldn't be worried about "reminders" or whatnot if you're indeed pro-town and intend to post? ##Vote Hopeless1der I'm saying I don't want to die, least of all to a policy lynch. I'd anticipate that most. if not all the players, would agree with that general sentiment. If people think I'm lurking, I don't want them to just lynch me with no discussion, I'd rather have the opportunity to make my thoughts known so that I could at least give the town something useful besides my flip. I want to make the most informed decision on who to lynch, instead of lynching by policy and getting very little out of it. | ||

I've played like two games with him, and he was town in both of them, so he could be some kind of secret scum mastermind and I wouldn't know. But in one of the games I played with him I was really impressed because somehow he managed to just seem "townie" despite barely posting. (In the other game he didn't.) Anyway what I'm trying to say is that he hasn't posted much, but I don't think that's a tell; and that his posts are pretty reasoned-out, but I think that's a sign of him trying to play to his strengths since he just got mislynched in PTP. However, Hopeless - I don't really see much in the way of "actual opinions" or "positions" from you in the thread. I think you're probably town, but let me ask you - what do you think of the hapa situation, or Marv's zentor policy lynch? Actual opinion time: BMB's case against Hapa is shitty, and dare I say it, scummy. + Show Spoiler + On August 31 2012 16:19 BlackMamba24 wrote: I sat down and read the whole thread now. I don't know Hapahauli's meta but I agree with Shady Sands' FOS. Hapahauli immediately breadcrumbs the VT rolename "detective" then qualifies/explains the post following it immediately. 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. @The bolded in the first paragraph: BMB freely admits to not knowing Hapa's meta, but decides to make a case out of the first two posts of the game. Not just Hapa's first two, the first two of the game. Taking the brief moment it takes to review Hapa's game history: 1st post in NMMXXIII: + Show Spoiler + On August 06 2012 08:06 Hapahauli wrote: ‘Sup town! Much to my delight, I’ve rolled Vanilla Townie this game – I hope strength in numbers shall prevail this game! I ended up rolling mafia-goon in the last newbie game I played (Newbie Mafia XXI), and two members of my scumteam got away with blatant-lurking for days because of poor D1 discussion and a disorganized town. Our scumteam ended up winning that game in large part to this lack of productive discussion. So to get things moving in a good direction, howabout some policy talk? I propose the following:
1st post NMMXXI: + Show Spoiler + On July 16 2012 09:35 Hapahauli wrote: Hey folks! I rolled Vanilla Townie (again) - let's lynch us some scum! One of the lessons I learned from the last game (Newbie Mini Mafia XX) was how fickle meta-analysis can be. My case against Hopeless was mostly based around him mis-representing evidence and fingerpointing. The Meta was the icing on the cake. Also note that my cases/meta arguments against two players (Release and JingleHell) were ulitmately wrong. While meta has a place as supplemental evidence against players who are not self-aware of their own history, Otherwise, it lead you on a goose chase after a player who's in a bad mood in a particular game. To re-iterate, meta is icing on the cake. We should always look for suspicious behavior and mafia-motive before even considering something like meta. Suspicious behavior like the bolded part below: That's a really subtle way to point out your newbieness. That's some mafia behavior right there. FOS calgar 1st post NMMXX: + Show Spoiler + On July 05 2012 11:37 Hapahauli wrote: Hai folks! Just opened my inbox to much relief: I'm a Vanilla Townie! I would like to cast an FOS on JingleHell, who's actions in day 1 have been nothing but contradictions so far. JingleHell opens the game by decrying D1 voting as "nonsense in newbie games," then immediately fires one out himself. When Harry replies with the innocent, "why is lightning fast vote scummy," JingleHell posts: Not only does this not address Harry's question, but it has an incredibly defensive tone when he was not yet attacked. Sounds to me like someone who is very paranoid in the early game... JingleHell posts another crusade against bandwagoning and day 1 voting, despite his earlier vote against YourHarry. In addition, he's very adamant (almost panicked) about this "avoiding bandwagoning" business. From a townie perspective, what incentive does he have to discourage bandwagnoning only a few hours into the game? I would understand if this was a day or a half-a day before the lynch, but seeing who does and does not bandwagon provides us townies with time to provide good reads. It makes no sense to take such a staunch anti-bandwagoning platform so quickly into the game. Finally, Jingle Hell has been content to laugh off a legitimate post against his early-game behavior by lazermonkey. Lazer's post ---> http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=349066¤tpage=7#132 No defense, and completely ignores a topic worthy of response. In conclusion, FOS on JingleHell. His actions regarding D1 voting are contradictory, and he's taken a very suspicious stance on anti-bandwagnoning so early into day 1. I'm seeing a trend here. None of this is indicative of Hapa's alignment, but it's depressing to see that BMB couldn't be bothered to look into Hapa's meta. Instead, Hapa is clearly posting with inherent guilt, clearly trying to breadcrumb his 'fakeclaim' and assumes Hapa didn't know about mafia getting the fake claims. That wasn't the point of his post...that's just how he opens games. To make it the basis for a case is lazy and foolish. He also pushes the policy talk into his case against Hapa. Why is that scummy again? It was scarcely 5 hours into the game. Marv and ghost, you seem to think this goes into WIFOM on whether BMB knows his case is bad and he's baiting. Can you answer whether or not YOU would have bothered to check Hapa's "opening-post meta" before basing a case around it? Either way, BMB is the scummiest looking player to me. As for Zentor...from what I saw in MadMen, I'd be inclined to agree with a policy lynch, but then... [Stating the obvious] I want to lynch scum [/Stating the obvious] Pressure him, and if he doesn't respond, then sure, lynch the sucker. I'd rather give him a chance to begin with though. There's always the possibility that he is in fact useful. Deadline is 7:30 pm for me. I should have no issue with being active leading up to it. | ||

This has nothing to do with "bad townies" or whatever. Also, this ain't a newbie game, and I think everyone here knows that lurking is bad for town. Also, I have no idea what your last sentence there means... So I'll take it you're no longer suspicious of me then? No. It prevents players from taking stances on specific players. Sure we could end up lynching a lurking townie D1 - it happens. But the votes give us so much information for future days, and an "RNG" vote deprives us of this. I didn't see anything in Marv's filter about MrZentor... you're talking about momentoss, right? Hapa...Are you being deliberately obtuse?

He's semi-accusing you of doing this because your assumption that all players know lurking is bad means that the only people who will lurk are either Scum or they're just bad at this game, i.e. Bad Townies. There are no other options based on the way you've explained yourself. You also want to consider lurking to be an exclusively scum trait, which is completely untrue. | ||

##Vote: Palmar I don't buy into what Hapa is selling right now. Hapa tried to sway Hiro AWAY from his read on MMtoss: On September 01 2012 07:04 HiroPro wrote: It's ok. The problem I have is that he ignored the brunt of the case (which is how he says he's unclear about Zentor but then later in the same post says that Hapa is soft-defending Zentor and they're scum buddies together) and focused on small things to reply to instead. Hapa is really off the wall today. Can't or won't sit still and he seems to see scum at every other post. I can't take him very seriously right now, but I think he's town. | ||

Hapa still has a point regarding who does Hiro think is scum. Hiro? If your around, we'd be much obliged. | ||

You don't see it as strange that Hiro doesn't pressure him any more than that after posting his case? Like he insta-dropped his suspicions man. No he wouldn't. Or rather, I wouldn't. Read the argument presented and THEN make a decision. Your reasoning here is terrible and its things like that that make me want to ignore your cases in general. | ||

Also of note: I am a self-aware miller. Is there some rule against using the flavor? It's incredibly relevant in a themed game with a Closed setup. Once Hiro puts two and two together, we get this from SnB: my role PM says that rolechecks on me before half the players in the game are dead will return detective and after that point they will return suspicious detective. It was in his Role PM. This didn't get suddenly revealed later. It's also way easier to understand how the return check mechanics work as opposed to I don't know whether checks on me will return scum or town - all I'm told is that some checks on me will return scum instead of town. Blatant lie in an effort to save himself from DT checks...because he's scum. This is pretty cut and dry. ##Vote: StrongandBig | ||
