@syllo and phagga: you advocate a policy of scumhunting, yet are doing no scumhunting. People who seem to be clearly focused on scumhunting so far: clarity and toad. Why are you not in that list?

Syllo at least is giving a running commentary of the game. Phagga just posted the policy of scumhunting and went away.

Phagga, why are you not practicing what you preach?

What are you talking about? I'm absolutely hunting for mafia. This is how you do it; by engaging in conversations and asking for clarifications and opinions. Making cases is for convincing everyone else.

First time you engaged in a conversation was with Sandro. For you that is not a conversation, as you and Sandro can mindread each other.

This is the second conversation you are engaging in. Everything else has been a running commentary.

Do you think I'm more or less likely to have a conversation with a player who can "mindread" me if I'm mafia? So far your point of view on things has not appeared honest to me or at the very least your analysis isn't on the level I would expect if you are town. Also this is not the second conversation.

I think that that is irrelevant and pointless wifom, because if one of you is scum and the other isn't, you would be dead scared of each other in any case and try to act normally. I think it is fairly normal for you and sandro to have a conversation and it will not affect his ability to mindread you one way or another.

However, if you are asking me if I think you are scum, then no, I don't. I am still rather null on you. However, there are things in your play that make me suspicious. Firstly, the things Kita just pointed out, and secondly because I feel you are making alot of your "scumhunting" while actually it amounts to very little.

As for my honesty, at least I'm not fakeclaiming mason (yet).

This is a really pointless and irrelevant topic, but it would serve you well to stop using the term WIFOM and if you are town you should not attempt to downplay things that a person of one alignment is clearly more likely to do. That is all that mafia is, determining what is more likely. You can reduce anything to a level where you can claim it's "wifom" when in fact it is evidence of someone's alignment. WIFOM is a meaningless term used by lazy players, people who do not understand mafia or mafia aligned players who want to wave away evidence of someone being town.

I disagree. Most of the time it is worth thinking about whether something is more likely to be said (or done) by mafia or town. However, sometimes it just requires so many assumptions to speculate either way that the argument can be made either way: this is wifom. It is running the argument in circles to decide whether you are more likely to have put the poisoned wine in front of me, or you.

In this case, I see no reason why you would not engage sandro in a conversation, regardless of your alignment: it is what everybody expects you to do and not doing so would seem scummy. Given that Sandro is probably the guy who is most likely to figure you out, you have to appear normal most to him. On the other hand, if you're town, it is entirely normal to figure out Sandro's alignment by engaging him in conversation. So yeah: this is completely null and thus pointless.

Additionally, I am still undecided on Sandro, so you might both be scum, in which case you would have no fear at all of engaging him in conversation.

I do find it slightly townie that you hammer on this point. So a point in your favour.

You mentioned three possible reasons for calling this wifom. Which one do you think I fall under? You calling me bad, or you calling me scum?

I am disappointed that Djodref dropped out. I felt he was the only serious contestant for Sandro and I don't like it that Sandro is running uncontested. I have been vague about my own aspirations, because I feel the last time I was voted mayor I let the team down a bit. I felt like I should take a back seat on this election, but without a serious contestant for Sandro I am not sure anymore.

Oh, ok. Syllo is running. That makes me feel a bit better about taking a back seat. At least there's a choice.

No offence, iamperfection and dino, but given your play so far, you are not serious contestants.

Sorry, which comment?
Also thread is kinda slow, I like to talk about stuff :D


The thread is slow? Wtf man, I did some work for an hour, come back and have 3 entire new pages of rather useless back and forth banter to read through.

Only things that stood out as something other than people using this thread as an IRC channel were Kush, Risk and Marv. Kush, because he already makes me want to punch him in the face, which judging by Acme Mini Mafia is his town meta, but I have no clue about his scum meta.

Risk and Marv, because they are actually playing the game.

The rest of you (Oats, Clarity, goodkarma) are just making lots of posts that contain meaningless nothings (or take 10 posts to get to the point). Please consolidate your thoughts and make 1 single clearly thought through post, rather than 5 posts that require 5 responses to get a single point across.

Faking townreads as mafias is incredibly easy. Faking mafiareads as mafia is something that takes effort. If we're only going to talk about who we're going to send d1 we're giving mafia an incredibly easy time skating by.
I know it feels counterintuitive as clearly the shortterm "goal" is to send a good guy d1 but I think we should try and balance those issues out. After all, the goal in the longrun is to figure people out and we won't be able to do that by playing nice all day long.


His posts look really hard to fake for scum and because of his reputation as being imba, I am voting Toadesstern

##Vote: Toadsstern


You clearly don't know toad at all. You don't even know toad's reputation.

1. Toad is notoriously hard to read. He posts giant walls of text that ramble on as either alignment and gets into hissyfits with whoever he feels like (most notoriously bugs and VE) as either alignment.
2. If he is imba, he is imba as scum, not so much as town. Personal opinion here, but I haven't seen toad make the difference as town. Unlike some other players in this game.

Now on to the beef of your post: why exactly do you feel his posts are hard to fake as scum? What specific quality makes you lean town on him? So far I am seeing you park your vote in a similar manner to Keirathi, for a similar reason.

Ok. Let it be known Acro is voting for sandroba basically because I'm voting for syllo.

A somewhat petulant way to play the game (even if you brush it aside jokingly)

Okay. Fine.

I am voting for Sandroba, because I have no clear read on either of them yet. If anything, I think they are both town. I liked Syllo's response and I like Sandroba's opinion of it.

I feel Sandro is playing very similar to SSM mafia where he "sponsored" GMarshal in a very similar way. In that game he was town.

Given that I have a very similar read on both, I prefer Sandro to finally win an election, simply to see what he actually does when he wins.

In short: no real reason for Sandro over Syllo. Prefer either over any of the other current candidates.

This is going to be so much fun. I finally made it into a greymist game

I am going to go out and assume that Lavos will be a game element and not a player, seeing as he will be "summoned" later in the game. So I am going to assume that the quests are to get to Lavos, and get any town advantages we can on the way (somewhat similar to Resistance mafia).

My suggestion is thus to play this just like resistance mafia. Everybody suggests the party they will make if chosen as leader today and gives their reasons. This should be done by 12 hours (or maybe 6, given that it's day 1 and people still need to get going) before the deadline, giving people time to vote on their preferred party leader.

To get the discussion started, I would currently choose Marv, Sandro and Syllo along: I know them, I know Sandro and Syllo work well together, and I know they are all good players. I have no clue what the quest will be, so bringing the best players simply seems prudent. However, as the day goes on this may change if I get clear scum reads on any of them. For Sandro and Syllo I feel a scumread is viable in D1. I don't think I can get a read on Marv in D1, but he's still more readable than Toad, who I would otherwise put in that spot.


Acrofales, can you elaborate why you immediately wanted to pick Sandroba, Marv, Syllo to go? What did you think would be the benefits and risks of sending three of our best players?

Not reading the thread already?

I was under the impression (and still expect it to be a very real possibility), that a successful mission will give the party members benefits (items, mason chat, a level up, whatever) that will help us root out mafia and/or directly aid us in fighting Lavos. The best players in the game are naturally the best equipped to use such perks. That is, if they're town.

Sandro brought up a good counterargument, and making scum choose between shooting likely party members and shooting experienced town players is a good policy.

On that note, @Sandro: you have not explained why this policy is pretty much the complete opposite of your proposal in Holy Roman, where you (a veteran and likely target for scum kp) wanted yourself as emperor (and thus a likely target for scum kp) precisely because you are an experienced player.

On a similar note, if we follow that logic through, Sandro should not be party leader.


At the time, I was leaning Djoref, because I was feeling town on him, and sending a somewhat experienced town seemed better than veteran Sandro with 3 noobies. However, he says he cannot commit the time, leaving us with Sandro and Syllo.

Iamperfection and Dino are unfortunately not serious candidates for me. Perfection is way too focused on people seeing him as town and not nearly focused enough on playing the game. Dino is fluffy.

Talking about fluffy, where is BioSC?

No you haven't answered the question. I know where you stand on the mission leader. You've said you endorse both sandroba and syllogism and voted sandroba. But for the rest of the party? Do you still think veterans should be selected by sandroba to go on the mission? Or should I take your vote on sandroba (who've hinted he intend to send less known players) that you no longer support that idea. And if so my question was why.

Made it big bold and blue, because you apparently can't read otherwise. It means I like Sandro's policy and agree that as long as town people are picked I don't mind them being newbs who may not be able to best use any potential rewards, because veterans could be too much of a target for scum KP in any case without heaping more on.

Now on to the beef of your post: why exactly do you feel his posts are hard to fake as scum? What specific quality makes you lean town on him? So far I am seeing you park your vote in a similar manner to Keirathi, for a similar reason.


Last time I had to gather people I was some sort of mason who get's to invite people each and every night to join his QT resulting in the QT growing in number every cycle and having an incredibly powerfull town-circle.
I think I picked something like 5 townies straight without a problem at all, including people like WBG who are notoriously hard to read according to most people here. The only mistake I made was when I gambled in lategame as we had 2 Kenpachi-like people (real Kenpachi and someone like Kenpachi) who didn't play the game while not being able to get a read on Marv as well. I picked Marv because I figured that if neither of those 2 Kenpachis is mafia we've lost anyways because one of them will get lynched at some point and it already was lylo.

So yeah I think I'm pretty decent when it comes to that as well. I agree I'm by no way the best scumhunter around and I'm mostly working by process of elimination but that's because I trust in my townreads so heavily and they're never wrong.
So yeah I think I'm the right guy for the job.


Not saying you're not. Just that I have reservations voting for you, and correcting the jubjubs as to your reputation. I've seen you play good as town. I've seen you play better as scum. I saw you are running and I like that. What makes you a better candidate than syllo or sandro?

I italicized 'first' because I wanted to draw attention to the fact that party leaders will be changing quite often and I feel as if people are thinking this is going to be a permanent position.

As for the majority elected team, I think it's more logical to do things this way, at least for the first cycle while we are completely in the dark. I don't view polling the masses as dodging responsibility, but rather taking away the mafias chance to have an iron grip on the initial proceedings (assuming scum is elected and starts a dictatorship). By putting the vote out into the open, we also have another opportunity to see where loyalties lie.

I will correct you on this:
1. Polls are a terrible idea in mafia (I have tried to use them myself in my younger more nubby days and they are a terrible idea)

2. Expecting that mafia cannot manipulate a vote (especially an anonymous vote as in the poll system) is exceedingly naive.

3. You are dodging responsibility, because one of the reasons for voting for a leader is so he can be held accountable for his team. If the party fails, then everybody in that party comes under serious suspicion, but the leader most of all: he put a party together with at least one scumster (and probably more, or third parties, or something). Given that town reads are generally easier than scumreads, especially so early in the game, that means the leader either has really bad judgement, someone really fooled the crap out of him, or he is scum. By avoiding this dilemma and putting it up to majority vote, you cannot be held accountable in this manner, thus dodging this use of the party system, which, in the long run may very well be its most powerful use.

Ok for now, I think the party leader should be toadesstern because
He started off his post with a scumread, which shows effort in reading the thread instead of mindlessly posting without actually analysing anything like almost every player so far.
His posts look really sincere and his logic is spot on

Oh and I forgot: Yeah we need to find someone to send d1 and that's all nice and fine but I don't think it's a good way to keep the talk all focused on only that.

Faking townreads as mafias is incredibly easy. Faking mafiareads as mafia is something that takes effort. If we're only going to talk about who we're going to send d1 we're giving mafia an incredibly easy time skating by.
I know it feels counterintuitive as clearly the shortterm "goal" is to send a good guy d1 but I think we should try and balance those issues out. After all, the goal in the longrun is to figure people out and we won't be able to do that by playing nice all day long.


His posts look really hard to fake for scum and because of his reputation as being imba, I am voting Toadesstern

##Vote: Toadsstern


You clearly don't know toad at all. You don't even know toad's reputation.

1. Toad is notoriously hard to read. He posts giant walls of text that ramble on as either alignment and gets into hissyfits with whoever he feels like (most notoriously bugs and VE) as either alignment.

I don't think anyone in here can claim to be better than Syllo or sandro when it comes to reads if that's what you're asking.
However unlike Syllo and Sandro I'm someone who's pretty talkactive and I will get people talking about reads.

Syllo and Sandro both tend to be pretty lazy threadwise and I don't think that that's something we want for someone who's running for the d1 spot.


I don't really see syllogism as lazy. Not his play so far anyway.

Oh Sandro is here and posting quite a bit, I may re-evaluate my nomination if I like what I see as I would definitely prefer being as lazy as possible

I wouldn't mind syllo being leader either and if I win I will give him veto power over the people I choose. I'm fairly certain he is town at this point.


what distinguishes a town syllo from a scum syllo in your opinion?

He is way less conflict enticing / questions asking as scum and just chillax and agrees with people that are the right track. This game he says he will be lazy, but isn't and is activily doing shit left and right. So yeah.




I'll take the wishes of the actual player over an interpretation of play from someone who is being supported by the player in question.

Syllo has chosen himself to be taken out of the running and we should respect that.


You sure you're not Drazerk?

Syllo did not take himself out of the running. And his intention to being lazy and actually being lazy are two different things. I intended to get quite a bit of work done today...
