Of course you dont want to say that you are a selfish bastard. I agree that the more cards you get, and the more mana you can play, the better it is for you. Also better for scum. Town getting stronger is better because scum already start with a big fat 8/8 monster. HOWEVER what I am saying is that its not objectively good for town. There are pro's and con's for playing that card and all you seem to be doing is saying how good it is for town. I did the math (approximately, I didn't go into recursion of the game not ending, which I am not doing manually). If everybody gets strong and can 1-shot each other, there is about equal chances of town and scum winning. That is RANDOM shots and as opposed to right now when town has a 0% chance of winning. The more townies alive when we get to the point where people can 1-shot each other the better. Giving everybody a giant kickstart is therefore incredibly town favoured. Now, we can argue about whether your card gives town a sufficient kickstart. We can argue about whether a 10-card draw has any advantages over a 3-5 card draw for people other than me and Poster. But don't keep trying to say that getting everybody up to fucking giant size awesomeness is bad, because vigis' aim is terrible, because even with terrible aim we improve our chances drastically, and I have faith in town's ability to at least get the general direction right (otherwise all lynches would be scum-favoured as well, and they're not).

The lowest poster thing is not objective, town can make quality posts and scum can make quantity posts. So we go up the line and find the scummiest person, using Lowest post count as a guideline rather than our 'feel' | ||

And then he never mentions that again, even though I feel that its a good point if a bit vague, which means that he shouldve discussed it. I get generally noobness feel from him, not alignment indicative though | ||

Ok what do you guys think about a lynch all lurker's policy, where we hit the person with the lowest post count with all that we got?

The lowest poster thing is not objective, town can make quality posts and scum can make quantity posts. So we go up the line and find the scummiest person, using Lowest post count as a guideline rather than our 'feel' These are very clearly two different things. In the former case, you hit the guy with the lowest postcount with "all we got". In the latter we analyse the quality of his posts, find the scummiest lurker and hit him. The latter is plain old lurker lynching, which I don't like as a policy, but generally agree with doing. The former was some rabid radical crazy incarnation of lurker lynching. You can see why people were confused that you thought this was a good idea. Anyway, who do you think is currently lurking (and don't say NT)? | ||

I had to look up what you meant with storm. Bit of an oldschool player myself. If you are referring to this: http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/Storm then this deck does not depend on that. This deck does not benefit more than the average deck from having a lot of cards in hand. I will wait before my other head is back before revealing more about the deck, since it is his creation. /zebezt | ||

I was waiting for Xfire to respond, but the conversation died. I discussed it with Dandel in our tête-a-tête. There are three problems with Xfire's post.

I know Xfire is not too bad of a mafia player (Dandel played with him in WLIIA and I observed Parallel Universes), so this is an a priori cop-out for doing anything useful this game. There is no town reason for pre-excusing yourself for fucking up. As for this whole Mind Glow issue.

Risen seems to have had a fondness for non basic lands (all of my basic lands are already in play lol). So the next thing he does after saying he knows nothing about magic, is dive into a magic discussion. Regardless of whether he's wrong or right + Show Spoiler + 100% wrong. Pulling up a killer hand is absolutely worth discarding 3/4 of your deck (as long as there's no mill deck). There's a reason Demonic Consultation is restricted in Vintage and that exiles your cards, rather than putting them in the GY. But the worst part is the last bit: Oh, also can anyone that played in the first MTG Mafia summarize any hugely important things from it?

Can some over-eager townie please do all the hard work for me, by giving me a cliffnotes version of a long and complicated game? PS. All the time you spend summarizing that game for my lazy ass, you're not scumhunting, so doublescore one for me! 2. More MTG discussion, but this time with extra wishy wash! For the record: we focus down people. Why make it easier for the mafia creature to kill people? That is one of the mistakes made in the first game, which you would know if you had read it... like everybody has been telling you to. The entire post is completely useless. It contributes nothing, yet tries to sound as if he is actually contributing, with a "novel" point on the use of Minds Aglow and a pointless question about policy. If this post didn't put you on instant red alert, your scumdar needs fixing. | ||

How does your deck actually win? I could imagine that using Minds Aglow a couple more times after the first one (after a round of getting extra lands) would help people through their decks very fast. | ||

slight correction on Acro (who otherwise still is a very attractive man): I didn't play in WLIIA. I obs'd it pretty closely. I have not had the pleasure of actually playing with crossfire myself. ~dan doo | ||

Someone can have 10+ Zombies out T1 if you play Mind's Aglow, and can swing with them T2, killing someone. At least one person is running Fatties. Honestly I'd be happier with Fatties than a dozen Zombies. @Zeb, Artanis might not have thought that someone would play mind's aglow for 10 T1. I know he's okay with being able to combo out one player by turn 2, which is what cheerio storm does - unless it draws a dozen extra cards, then it combos everyone. | ||
