There's some new players here, not everyone played Coldsnap. 1. Anybody running mill (or any other combo deck) in this setup must be fucking insane. Mill is terrible in general in multiplayer and even worse in this setup (unless it's some kind of infinite combo deal that can mill everybody, but that was explicitly forbidden). You're just wrong. There's a deck that could entirely mill out 2, maybe 3 players T2 or 3 if we each draw 18 cards. Brain Freeze + Mana-Instants/Phyrexian Mana cards. You all put down 10 lands turn 2, play 5 spells each, and he mills 200 cards. which kills 7 players. You want to do that? End the game on turn 2? I thought about playing it but I'd rather play mine because its more fun, hence my whole "lets play fun decks" campaign. 2. As MG stated: you draw a million cards this turn, hold onto your Darksteel Cololssus and your Eldrazi. Next turn you get all the lands in your deck. Turn 3, you just play them giant monsters out of your hand. Who cares about an 8/8 scum creature when there's enough stuff to blow everybody up a thousand times over? Read what I said above. But even if you go ahead and do cast voyage. Who the hell is running 10 BASIC lands when they can pull from ALL the Duals, Shocks, Fetches, Filters, Taps, and Checks? You realize its BASIC LANDS ONLY right? (That last part isn't for you, its for everyone else). Your instant negativity rubs me the wrong way. /Acro You assuming you've got MTG figured out rubs me the wrong way. But that doesn't mean I think you're scum. Odds are you're town, you just didn't think it through. You've gotta realize that in a game of no counters and where everyone shares a turn, busting out 10 lands for everyone is just asking for a storm deck to kill us all. | ||

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. | ||

I'm not the one going around telling everyone how they should play. I'm explaining various possibilities they need t obe aware of. From how many people asked for help building a deck, its obvious to me that not everyone has extensive mtg experience. Also, as I said above, townies have statistics on their side and thus less reason to be scared. This is a ridiculous statement. Town ALWAYS has statistics on their side. Actually, you've made a lot of ridiculous statements this game. Until I get a better idea of who is town, I'm not following anybody's plan. And unlike you, I can scumhunt without posting every thought that enters my head. God you're irritating. I'm going back to work | ||

To me, mafia is a game - if you aren't having fun while playing it you're doing it wrong. I'd rather have fun and lose than win by ruining the game for everyone. But if you ruin it for me, I'll do the same right back. I don't play like "Oh herp-dee-derp, let me tell everyone exactly what I feel like at all times." That just seems frivolous to me, and is the leading cause of why people like Gonzaw end up with 30-page filters. If I'm not sure about someone, I'm going to wait. Look at the best town players, they do the exact same thing. Foolishness, GGQ, Radfield - these guys don't talk 24/7. Besides, scumhunting takes content, and in the first 24hrs there is no content. Now that there is a bit (though not a ton), I can look back and actually form opinions. Those of you who've formed opinions already, congratulations! You're good at pulling things out of your ass. I'm willing to give this game a fresh start, and try to have fun. Final bit of MTG advice: Minds Aglow doesn't just affect whoever puts in mana. It makes EVERYONE draw those cards. Same with Collective Voyage. Whoever said "keep the players balanced" had the right idea. 20 Zombies isn't bad when everyone has them. They're bad when one player has them. This isn't a mayor game, lets not turn it into one. | ||

GreY sent me a message: So my vote for a strategy (and you can quote me on this): My idea is that our goal should be, as town, to make this game as normal as possible. Now aside from the MTG elements, what makes this game different is the way In Which we eliminate people. In this game we don't have the ability to "lynch" scum. The best way remedy this is to allow everyone the ability to utilize their decks. This will give the town more collective power than the scum, and allow us to "lunch" people. I therefore propose we try to avoid crippling blows early, and to save our power for later when it becomes important. I agree with this, and I think most of you do. What I'm worried about is that group hug boosters could destabilize the balance, which is why I favor a small MA or Voyage rather than a two-turn setup into "everyone has 15 lands" and has a 25 card deck remaining. Please stop tapping for join forces. Adding more to it won't help. Here's my analysis of Bin. tl;dr: Moderate Suspicion of Scumminess. Factors: 1). Flip Flopping: Bin changes his mind extremely often. Even within the same post. This means his mind is already made up as to his action, and he's just saying what he can to appear most townie. Class B Tell 2). Schizophrenic: Its really weird how Oats is this extremely hostile personality who apparently knows very little about magic, while MG is cool, calm, and collected. It lets him get away with more things than usual. If I were scum, this would be the perfect cover. Class D Tell 3). Derailing: Bin starts or prolongs many arguments. This ties in with the previous two factors in that he prolongs them well after he has stated that the arguments have been discussed enough. Class C Tell 4). Deck Lies: Death Grasp isn't a win condition unless you can get 20 lands out. Its a survival condition. It also works VERY well with the mafia creature. Which means either he's scum or is lying about his deck, which means he's scum. Class B Tell Yes, this is actually how I hunt. Yes, I do actually have a system of Tell Classes. Class A: Slips. Incontrovertible evidence of scumminess. Class B: Contradictions. Possibility of confused town. Class C: Behaviors. Possible town explanation, depending on player's methods. Class D: Win-mores. Tells which mean nothing unless other tells independently lead to a Scum conclusion. Class E: Nulls. Tells that mean nothing because they can have town or scum agendas. Suspicion Range: [Minor---Lesser---Moderate---Reasonable---Greater---Certain] P.S. I suspect marv is scum just to ruin his streak. | ||

Have you actually read any of our previous games. I assume you're oats? Several of MG, and i've never heard of you before this game. Look at the other hydras. They aren't as radically different as you are. Like I said, its only a class D tell, which means nothing until other tells have given a conclusion. | ||

Did you guys not discuss the deck beforehand? But is this a scumtell? Or just someone not understanding what the deck is about? I personally didn't have Bin down as town yet, mainly because I feel he could not play his deck any other way and he doesn't done much in the scumhunting department, but I don't have a scum read on him for the things you bring up. There's a reason this post is scummy: "Did you not say that only scummy players contribute mana towards Minds Aglow?

Oats: ok, well, I'm not entirely sold on the idea because A, B, C. MG: counterarguments. Oats: well, I'm posting A, B and C in the thread anyway. This convo seems equally unlikely, so they probably never had any convos about it and any cutesy QT convos you invent are a figment of your imagination, no more, no less.

I've been working 12 hour shifts the last 3 days. Its tax season and everything was due today. If I'd known in advance, I wouldn't have signed up - I got this job a week ago. So yeah, I haven't been as active as I would have liked. I've been trying though, and doing what I can. You guys are so ridiculous. You claim to hunt based on meta, and then completely ignore mine. I always troll the first 24 hours if not more. I always respond poorly to pressure. And I always do a focused analysis of someone. I'm not good at pressuring, although for most of you that's all you are good at. After reading through today's stupid shit, and "randomly" discarding the only two cards in my hand of any value, I'm finding it very difficult to give a shit at all. In case it wasn't obvious, I'm running storm. But its a really weird Storm variant, and I literally can't do anything without the proper cards in my hand. And now I don't have them. Fuck me, right? Cross is scum. Thats pretty obvious. I feel like he doesn't have a very good deck at all, but he claimed scum so... yeah. Bin still feels off. Oats' shit just feels bad, and MG isn't playing like I know he can in a mason circle (which is what a Hydra is). MG in a Mason Circle always makes sure that his fellows know exactly what he is thinking, and makes sure they agree on everything. Check Aperture Mafia: LINK HERE, CLICK IT. Those are my picks, and what I've been up to. I'm extremely tired, a big part of which is that I'm physically exhausted. I'm sorry if I get snappy.

The math is a few pages back: Rock can sac a walker to kill the gobbo. That leaves no blockers Rock attacks with a walker and does 2 damage with a Ninja. Acro attacks with everything and pumps Rootwalla: 11 damage. Prom attacks with his 1/1 and casts 3 Chain Lightnings: 10 damage. Ap: forks a Chain Lightning: 3 damage. Total: 26. We miss 1 damage. If Nova, Stutters and Suck together cannot find a way to do 1 damage I will be very disappointed. Ah alright. Of course it looks like all three are running green, so i guess its too much to hope for a lightening bolt. | ||

Here's the relevant ruling on Fork: Show nested quote + If mana or other costs need to be spent at resolution of the spell, the player of Fork would still be responsible for paying that cost. My understanding is that Minds Aglow has to resolve before the Join Forces triggers, making it happen at resolution. If, for instance, Minds Aglow were countered, people would not have to choose how much to contribute. It doesn't have "as an additional cost to cast Minds Aglow do blablabla", the subsequent mana contribution is part of the resolution, not the casting. Hence this wouldn't work. /Acro I am not familiar with join forces, so I would take your word over mine then | ||

Clockwork: me and iGrok are going to pick apart the thread when he gets home from work later tonight and we can talk on skype. That being said I have had time to catch up on the events of the thread, and though I dont have much actual things to go on I have found things that I see are weird. The Primary of this was some of stutters interactions with clockwork especially this post: On January 30 2013 09:14 Stutters695 wrote: Show nested quote + On January 30 2013 08:37 Clockwork Hydra wrote: On January 30 2013 08:22 (DontFear)ThePoster wrote: Also considering Prome told me (and everybody) Stutters is this "useless" every time he's town, I am thus willing to "forgive" him and focus on Crossfire more, and also considering Xfire's "blunders" and contradictions and wishy-washy play so far I.e if I had 2 10/10 beasts I'd attack Cross right now and let Stutters be for another day. Please don't say this kind of stuff. Stutters: you are not getting a freebie from me. I don't give a shit about your meta. Start scumhunting or get zombied. Agreed with this actually. Why would you give me a free pass for a day? From your position I wouldn't consider me town yet. Why would you give me a free pass instead of questioning me to force more out of me. This post rubs me the wrong way though I cannot say why. The second is that he is obviously noncommittal on everything in the game. Even his "next biggest scumread" (me) is him saying the case on my is good but has problems. Now having null reads is not a scumtell, but he seems to be very noncommittal all game, something that I find is a scumtell. On the magic side of things he also really hasnt had incredibly strong opinions on his development in this game. I am speaking of this post: On February 02 2013 01:09 Stutters695 wrote: Basically I can drop a 2/2 today for some kp at the risk of developing even slower than I already am, or can be creatureless until t4 but help everyone develop. I really piloted this poorly t1 :/ While it might seem the "townie" thing to do, this information doesn't do us any good. We don't know how much we will hurt his development, what the risks are, what the reward is, or how vulnurable he will be. Only he knows this information for sure. The best thing for him to do in this situation would be to commit to something and say "this is the best option". Once again, this is an example of non committal behavior. Please read his filter and study him. beyond the standard policy discussion for his first few posts stutters has yet to actually take a real stance on anything, especially now with crossfire taking a lot of the attention of the day. | ||

Xfire has 2 lands and nothing in play anymore. I guess Nova can sort his own deck out, and we'll just do 9 damage in the attack phase, leaving Xfire at 3 life. Presumably people can actually do stuff next turn. Btw, we will probably need 2 turns to recover from the loss of ZI, but if we are lucky, we might draw another one next turn (we will have some help). Yeah, it's not like he'll do this as soon as the next Main Phase starts: ##Cast: Swamp ##Tap Badlands for 1 black mana ##Tap Badlands for 1 black mana ##Tap Swamp ##Cast Syphon Soul In fact, I PREDICT that's what he'll do, just because it's the only way things can get worse for us, therefore it will happen So let's think about ways to outdamage that. A kill is not going to happen this turn. So, you guys build up for the next one. Keep in mind, if they kill bin this turn, Syphon "only" does 14 damage / heal, which is really very balanced and totally okay. ~dandel Yeah you guys think about that, I have to cool down a little bit I already said what cards I have in my hand. With 5 lands tomorrow I guess I can play a Zeldon Marauders, which will deal 1 damage. Then I play Reckless Abandon (sacrifice Zeldon Marauder), and deal 4 damage. Then I can play Unearth, bring back Zeldon Marauder, and do 1 more damage. If I have the mana, I can tap Grim Lavamancer and do 2 damage. I need 5 mana for all of that, which I'll have because of the lands I got from Bin's land (I think, I also have a Mountain in my hand) So I can do 8 damage next turn (can't attack with anything), and have GL and Zeldon Marauders in play. That's not taking into account which card I draw though (it may be Ball Lightning which may be sweet) /G Hate to admit it, but any damage I can do is dependent on what I draw. I've got nothing atm that can help. Anyway I'll brb for a bit. Please take a look at stutters. If we are not able to kill cross this turn we need to spend the rest of the day playing mafia. -GreY | ||

I've got about an hour to do an analysis now, so I'm going to do it on Stutters. Then if I have time later before release, I'll check out someone else, have to talk to GreY about this. If I don't have time before release, I'll do the rest of you tomorrow - finally a day I have that is free. As far as our deck goes, I feel like I've revealed everything I need to. I told you the game is on a looong clock. Storm in this game doesn't count opponent's spells because Artanis is a meanie. This means I need to build up to a loooot of mana, and then I can combo, IF I have the right cards. If I'd thought about Voyage I would have included more basic lands If you'd like to follow along with my analysis, feel free to watch @ THIS LINK RIGHT HERE. | ||

The numbers don't mean anything to you, but they mean a lot to me. Just because you don't put your gut measurements to paper doesn't make them any more valid than mine. This is a way I can think clearly. Mafia isn't a game of precision, its a game of gut feeling. If my gut tells me "this is worth 7, that is worth -4, that is worth 1", then its the same gut making those calls, and thats what's important. I don't like making judgements until I'm done, but the main thing I picked up from stutters is that every single thing he posts just feels weird. Read it. It just gives a weird feeling. | ||

Conclusions: Greater Suspicion of Scumminess. Factors: 1) Multiple Contradictions, often withing just a couple posts. 2x Class B 2) Soft defenses, particularly about Xfire. Class C 3) Deck Lies. There is no way that a Bears deck can't play with 5 mana. Just no way. Class B BBBC is pretty damning. This is my analysis, GreY's isn't quit finished but you can see most of it. | ||

He's flopped on Crossfire whenever he was getting heavy pressure without being confirmed scum, and he flopped on Rock when someone else made a case on him Stutters thought he could push. That smells bad. In addition, just read his filter. It just reads really off for some reason. | ||

"Lazy, yes. Scum, I'm not so sure." "Until it got explained and we're back to zero contribution towards finding scummers." "it'd be what he would say if he was town or scum", " was a decent post that I agreed with a lot of", " it appears he's in it for himself and is hiding something", " I'm not so sure of how scummy that is", "dropping his mana on two creatures worries me", "This feels incredibly different. " So he says a bunch of null statements, and mixed in are "it appears he's in it for himself" and "dropping creatures worries me". When mixed in with all the nulls, that is such a soft poke it's like getting with with cooked spaghetti. | ||

I still think stutters is suspicious, but after looking through his filter I am getting concered about rockhydra. I think one of the 2 of them is the final scum at this time. Rockhydra sets off warning bells for me because he does not seem to really focus on things. Its hard for me to explain, but I get a weird feeling reading his posts. As an example he seems to post things like This alot. He was asked his opinion of me, but never gave it. instead of just ignoring the question or waiting until he had looked more in depth, he didnt really give an answer at all, instead opting to respond to the question simply because it was asked. I would like to know people's opinions on Rockhydra and stutters. Don'tfear you are here and being active. What do you think? | ||

I will read through stutters filter as a response to the current case, which i dont find to be damning but does have some valid points, for instance his contradictions. For a hydra scum, i'd be somewhere between aperture and rock. I'll think about it and let you guys know. The weird thing about this post, to me, is that he says he is "Quite" unsure as to the 2nd scum, when he posted an unresolved case on suck, and earlier mentioned me as his second top read. Nothing really happened to change his mind that I can immediately recall, so sudennly becoming null on targets and instead trying to buy time strikes me as odd. What do you think dontfear? | ||

Plus that game spawned my third favorite role of all time. Woops | ||

Sorry, but I really want you to focus most of your time in either establishing you are town or hunting the other scum. Okay, thus it's done: I will deal 1 damage to Xfire, and 4+1 damage to a guy (or 2). Aperture will fork my Reckless Abandon onto Xfire, getting him to 0 HP I'll have 3 mana left to do something later, depending on the circumstances. /G Aight, Just let me know | ||

I'm deciding whether to analyze him or rock next. I'll do him if you are convinced Stutters is town, but otherwise I'm going to do rock since GreY thinks he's scum. Can you rank these three people for me in order of scumminess?

It does make sense that everybody else has a "townie" thing to them, that makes you scum by process of elimination, and a LOT of stuff in your play makes it likely. Then again you are not playing "like scum" in certain manners (being this passive for instance), which make me doubt this. You don't defend yourself against my case so I can figure out exactly what made you act like you did if you were town, and you are not helping in any other way so my read on you basically can't improve. You are not helping me improve my read on you, well then I'm not helping you live... Anyways when I come home I'll reread some other players to see who else we can attack this cycle. Apparently many settled on Nova, which is interesting. /G Do you realize how long Rock's filter is? I can't whip up an analysis overnight (though I did start to try). But even though I've only gone through 1/4 of it, I can already tell that he is town for sure. He's the guy who really pushed the clockwork case among other things, and 99% of what he posts is townie (-1s and -2s). GreY agrees now. Anyways, Xfire is dead. Ding, dong! | ||

Why not advising Xfire doesn't make him town: if I were scum I would advise Xfire to blow shit up at the end of the attack phase (before damage resolution of course). This has 2 advantages: the first is that town might spend extra resources in killing you and the second is that you know exactly how much damage you need to prevent. The disadvantage is that town might blow up your creatures before you can blow shit up, meaning you might need to sac more lands. /Acro hmmm I disagree with this. You might be right about that it would actually be better to wait, but then why DIDN'T he wait? /zebezt His point is that GreY and I are good at MtG, therefore we would have told Xfire to wait.

This all kinda matters because if we both flip town and CH/DFTP are taking Stutters to be sure town when he isn't, then that really will be throwing away a won game. Rock felt extremely town for the first half of the game. I cannot imagine him being scum. | ||

That would have been game this turn. EE for 7, pulling Grapeshot, Grapeshot, Braid, Volcanic, Cascade, Psychic, Mind's Desire. Cast Braid, Grapeshot(3), Grapeshot(4), Psychic, Mind's Desire(6). Pull Mind's Desire, Empty the Warrens, Cunning Wish, Minds Desire, Braid, Psychic, Reverberate. Cast Cunning Wish (put Comet Storm in my hand), Braid, Psychic, Empty the Warrens(10), Mind's Desire(11) Pull Grapeshot, Cunning Wish, Cascade Bluffs, Brightstone Ritual, Grapeshot, Scalding Tarn, Brightstone Ritual, Cunning Wish, Braid of Fire, Empty the Warrens, Mind's Desire Cast Wish, Braid, Brightstone, Brightstone, Grapeshot(16), Empty the Warrens(17). Allow both Brightstones to resolve, generating 38 R mana. Cast Comet Storm from hand targeting all other players, deal 32 damage to each. GG. | ||

AS were you being honest about your hand or did you have some serious stuff up your sleeve if we didn't kill you? No my hand was shit because I randomly discarded Epic Experiment. Its the engine of my deck, without it this deck is worthless. And the reason i discarded it was because, as I said, I was working 12 hour days and thought I sent in the discards but didn't. So I blame this game loss on RNG and am extremely frustrated. | ||

I know Artanis is a stickler when it comes to RNG. But there comes a point when as a host, you look at the RNGs and say, "This will completely ruin the game.", and re-roll. I do this all the time in my games. Yes, I had a really good combo deck. But I could do literally nothing except fork and reverberate until then. I traded any capability to defend myself for a game-ending combo (which isn't infinite - unless I allow the psychic spirals to resolve and build my storm count up to 60). I left myself WIDE OPEN to attack all game long. And to get fucked over by an RNG, right after coming home exhausted, really set me off. | ||
