Holy meta argument Batbears. Are you saying that Dandel under pressure is basically = Kush in terms of meta?
But CC isn't protown as town. 100% real heuristic.

@debears to clarify for my sake, you're saying you voted dandel in an attempt to see who else would take the bait?

I voted him for 1) to see his reaction
2) his flaming like that without an actual defense is anti-town
3) to see who would jump him

for 1 and 2, he came back and made an actual case (albeit with bad feelings)

He did similar as town when I played with him

@ Rad

First of all, I would like to say that I'm a Vanilla Townie so I have nothing to claim to save my ass. Believe me or not, but I'm no SK and I'm no mafia. But it's not relevant for the subject I have to discuss.

Considering that 2 blues are already dead and that you have no more bullets, I'm pretty sure that there is only VTs or equivalent right now. We cannot expect any save or vigilante kill.

Let's assume that we have an confirmed SK and I think that I was close to be a confirmed SK in dandel's eyes.

If town lynches the SK, you end up for sure at 4vs3 on D3. It is the worst lylo situation ever. You need basically to have a confirmed mafia player to expect survive the day, and then you have 2 more lylo at D4 (3vs2) and at D5 (2vs1). Given our current situation (town full of lurkers and newbies), I don't imagine us getting our way out a 4vs3 lylo.


If town decides not to lynch the SK, it is possible that we end up in a 3vs3vs1 situation at D3 but it is neither is the interest or town nor in the interest of the SK. We have much more opportunities to get rid of the scum this way (lynch or night kill by the SK).

Now, if we compare 4vs3 or 3vs3vs1, I think that the situations are equally bad. The SK has to team up with the town anyway at this point or it is game over for him. I don't know what would happen if we get out a 3vs3vs1 situation because I don't know what the SK would do.

Lynching the SK is at best sub-optimal play from town but I tend to think that it is anti-town.
And I cannot add enough how it fits a mafia agenda because they are sure to get to lylo instead of risking to lose one of their members.

I'm not sure about Alsn. I've been leaning town town on him. The case he made isn't necessarily a scummy one. He didn't super push it. Also, he tends to overthink as town, which he did similarly in his case.

I haven't seen distinct meta differences in play except activity, which he had suitable irl reasons for it

Yeah, I'd be curious to compare the 2 if you happen to know of any examples of his scum play

@djo Let's say lynching the SK is sub-optimal. Can you see a reason for dandel to call you out as SK or scum and place a vote on you that early in the day? Do you not think that's a reasonable pressure move?

I feel like asking everyone a loaded question, but one that makes sense for a newbie game:

If you're not completely new to mafia (maybe you've played a few games IRL/elsewhere, or this isn't your first game on TL)

What's your favorite role to play in mafia?

I feel like I'm one of few who actively enjoys being a vanilla townie more than scum or a power-townie. It feels that much better when you're part of a victory! Maybe I'm wrong in this being an uncommon choice of favorite role, though.


I would say mafia was trying to snipe a blue and managed to do it.

Regarding Kush death, I would say vig or SK. Both makes sense.
But jailkeeper + vig + detective seems imba so I think we have a SK.


Even you Djo, even you. Dandel seemed to be discussing a current relevant topic in the thread

My goodness, can we lay off the lylo / SK lynching scenario? What purpose is going into detail about this serving? There is so much crowding of the thread with these hypothetical / speculative scenarios.

@Cheese djo made a very strong statement about lynching an SK at this point being the worst case scenario. It was a major point of his case on dandel, one that inig jumped in and said "yeah that makes sense!". I called him out on it and he's responding. I feel it's appropriate discussion.

@ Cheese

Well, I respectfully disagree. I've been tunneled by almost all the active players during D1 and nobody defended nor soft-defended me at that time. I believed that I was going to get mislynched.
People started to say that they didn't want to lynch quite late during day 1 because I was generating discussion, not because they thought I was townie.

You had some pressure on you d1 but I don't think you were at risk of getting lynched. Multiple people had said "he inputs enough good conversation, if he's scum he'll slip up at some point" and for whatever reason, we all moved on to inig and da0ud. You may have been scared early on but you know you weren't scared at all the last hours before the lynch. Hell, you even called cheese out about why his vote was still on you because obviously you weren't a lynch candidate at that point.

Also you need to stop about the "no one defended me" garbage. We had 2 lurkers then and we have the same 2 lurkers now (1 replaced with a new person, but same role in this game). Also, you just haven't needed a scum buddy to take your side until right now, and it's super dangerous to do so at this point.

@ debears

I did not say he was not right about the possibility of an SK and I can even understand that he thought I was SK.

First point: I'm saying that it is easier for mafia to suspect someone of being SK rather than being scum.
Second and main point: it is anti-town and pro-mafia to push a lynch on a SK in this situation.

@ Rad

I know that it is not a good point to bring out but you have to understand my frustration about this. That's why I was so relieved when Alsn pointed it out.
Not talking about this again.

Dandel's 1 scum game was NMM XXV

First, his activity level was 3 filters that game

This game? Almost 6. And that's not even through day 2.
He's showing a remarkably greater amount of interest in this game than when he was scum

Personality

In his scum game, Dandel is more amicable (friendly is what that means right?)

@Shady:

It really seems to me like you are carrying over an existing argument/exchange from another ongoing mafia game.

I guess it's pretty hard to do (and coincidentially the reason I won't sign up for multiple games, ever), but please try to seperate this game from the other one.


And this post is a case he made. Notice the lack of flaming and sarcasm

Dandel Ion is one of the most experienced players in this game, yet he has also been one of the most lurky. He has offered almost nothing but filler posts to appear active while doing basically no scumhunting. He is much too experienced to be as passive as he has been. The only time he has offered a FOS it has been to lightly suspect me, at a time when it was EXTREMELY safe to do so.

This is a flat out lie.
I have played a SINGLE game of mafia so far. (not counting the half-day that got restarted)
lvdr, shady and mkfuba have all played more games, thrawn just as many.

I didn't really push anyone but you yet, since all the "cases" so far were pretty much just screaming "bad newbie" to me, instead of "scum". Then there was you VS Shady, which I consider to have not much to do with this game.

Well, since that is the extent of your case, I consider it adressed.


Since you all seem to want my reads, here we go. (thoughts on other people coming after this, I'm getting pretty annoyed by the whole OMGOMG I'M WAITING FOR HIS POST, so I just decided to split it up.)
WeeTee: The extent of his first ~10 posts was either 1) insulting people, 2) not contributing or 3) both.

His last post (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=361579&currentpage=14#266) reads to me like he's just trying to secure a lynch on somebody else, no matter who it is

I will put a
FoS on Alsn for this

But it is undeniable that kushm4sta is rubbing everyone the wrong way.

Let me know what you think about Alsn Fos-ing Kush,
Does Alsn see an easy opportunity to take someone out?
and why is he the only one that chirped up for the obvious?

In an earlier post, he FoS'd Alsn for going for the "easy lynch". Behold, just a little later he is doing the SAME thing, to the SAME person.
Even though he soft-defended him earlier.
The only other thing he has done so far is argue with thrawn.

He's not contributing and contradicting his own words.

Thus, Weetee is my strongest scum read at the moment


Finally, in his scum game. Dandel was MUCH LESS AGGRESSIVE. He even admitted it in the game..
