Also, if someone even dares to play a 0/X creature with no abilities, then I'll seriously have to consider "policy lynching" you

Why 0/X creatures suck:
If you are scum, then it means that you have 1 blockable and basically indestructible monster. Thus, town have to spend more effort/time to kill you, thus you survive longer

If you are town, then it means that maybe a random scum won't attack you directly that easy....maybe?

If you are town, try to establish your innocence (preferably following the commandments above). If you do, then no townie should attack you AT ALL the whole game. If scum want to attack you, they have to FoS you first. If they do it badly the rest of town will fuck him up, so don't worry, don't be afraid and put a 0/X beast just to "defend" yourself.

If you do however, we also can't know if you are mafia or not, since 0/X creatures are good for mafia as well. So you basically confuse the hell out of town, and maybe even convince town to kill you

If you have a 0/X beast to play, please tell us first, and most importantly tell us why you are playing it, so we don't try to "policy kill" you.
I'll heavily consider killing anybody that doesn't follow this.


I also don't see many downsides to stating to the thread what you are playing before you do (if it's something unblockable, etc), so consider doing that.

For instance:
I'm playing BlooodStained Mire, a land card right now

Has no effect at all for now (I'm not activating it until I consult with Prom)

My reasons for having 0/X creatures are completely separate from the merits of playing Mafia. They were selected based on the supposed synergy they provide for my deck. In addition, my deck was selected before my alignment so your entire argument is completely invalidated. I have 0/X creatures and I will play them because they further my goals, and ultimately the town's goals since I need my deck to function in order to do anything. If you feel the need to policy an 0/X creature, you're doing it wrong.

0/x creatures are not walls. Regarding minds aglow, we'll need time to actually use it so the sooner the better. However we all need to play our land (which I havent) so unless we can do both actions simultaneously I ask that you hold off a bit

You won't get away with it this game buddy

Also, just like I did in the previous game:

Read the whole thread before deciding to cast anything with mana cost

Have to be careful about scum casting stuff to avoid the plan, then saying "oops! Didn't read the thread!"
Hopefully stupid townies don't do it either.

I read the thread. I have 0-mana creatures. What now?

Okay so here's the thing:

We are running Zombie Infestation.

For that reason, we would have prefered Minds aglow next turn (and given all 3 mana, too!), but it seems like like it would be more beneficial to town in general this turn, than delaying until next turn

So if it's going to be today, we would REALLY like to cast zombie infestation this turn (instead of contributing mana). And of course still ask everyone else to use as much mana as humanly possible!

Not just the lurkers/scum! Everyone! Think of it as a group project!

I promise we're not crazy (or scum)

~dandel (with acro's consent)

Haven't we established that using as much mana as possible isn't entirely helpful? Drawing is great but if we mill ourselves were ditching a lot of potentially powerful cards when we discard to seven since we won't have mana.

Since you haven't mentioned it, what are your thoughts on forcing the scummiest players into contributing their mana for it?

Where dem scums at?


I would like to play as many cards as I can so that I can have as empty a hand as possible, assuming Mind's Aglow gets played. I can play 4 cards, and I mulled down to 6. I'll need to spend 1 mana to do so, so I'll have room for 5 and I can contribute 1 mana to the draw.

I have a far simpler solution though:

If you look scummy, you can provide mana if you want to look townie.


I have something quite vital to play, so I would prefer to play that.


And it's not like you can actually force people to do so.
All actions will come from one's own will and I don't like how you suggest the use of "force".
In fact, scum have a far higher interest in doing as you say, as their lacking board development can be made up with the mafia creature. And if it allows them to funnel town into policy attacks on scummys/lurkers, I'd imagine scum would follow you without much resistance.

~dandel

Well on that note, I think you should be able to play zombie infestation instead of contributing anything to the draws so that you can benefit sooner (because you'll be able to discard this turn, right?). I'd like to take a collective voyage next turn, as I'm running basic lands. Feel free to flame me for that all you want. In the meantime, I still need to read the first MTG, so away I go.

What pressure? IT WAS 1 post.

Actually I think minds aglow helps everybody, not just town. So why wont 'scummy' people contribute mana? Then they can start actually 1 shotting people.


He called him out on something, CW posted something that in my mind wouldn't really satisfy that thing he pointed out, and instantly marv just dropped the whole thing with the "okay, but in case you aren't mafia pro-tip here: bla bla".

That's pressuring someone, then instantly dropping the pressure when it's not really unneeded.

Also, I may be "awfully quick" to attack marv, but you are awfully quick to defend him.


If you're reading it this way, you're reading it wrong.

Perhaps, but at the moment he's the try-hardiest of us all. Are you suspicious of ThePoster marv, or just depressed about the level of play he's exhibiting?

As an aside, I've yet to hear from zebezt so hopefully he handle's things while I'm asleep.
I want to play my creatures. They're 0/X for 0-mana (x2). Comments or concerns will be addressed when I wake up and/or when my hydra-head sees them.
As stated, I'd like to spend 1 mana on casting spells and 1 mana on Minds Aglow.

Do you agree with my plan?
If so, then we have to wait for you to use your mana, and preferably casting those creatures.

Also, if the plan is to get people 2/4 cards, then it won't matter if you play "as many cards", because if you play too many cards, and we draw a lot of cards for you to get 7, then lots of players will have to discard cards

/G

I'm trying to explain what I want to do and why I want to do it. If you don't want my reasons for my actions, I'll just play whatever the hell I want, but I was under the impression we were trying to make "plans", so I detailed what actions I could, and more importantly, wanted to take. I'm not trying to force players into discarding for no reason.

With respect to your plan, I'm assuming it was the "scummy players pay for the draw". I have a very hard time believing the thread will come to a consensus on which scummers will be forced to pay. I believe it's a pro-town card, and I want to draw more cards. I would like to contribute if I can.

Hi all.
this is the second RockHydra head, zebezt
I'm on euro time, and I'll be mostly posting in the euro evenings, just so you guys know when to expect activity from me.

Regarding the 0/X creature thing, we just happen to have those in our deck. They are free to cast, so they won't make us waste mana. They are an important part of the deck, so not casting them would be bad for us, and therefore town.
I don't think we need to waste more time discussing this. Everyone wants to play the deck they have as well as possible.

The drawing cards thing works out well for us, since our hand is crap right now.

I think the whole let the scummy players ploy is only going to generate a lot of confusion. How do we decide who is scummy? Why would people listen? Just let people decide on their own. I think the risk of a milling deck is minimal.
Does anyone here have a deck like that? Please speak up now or forever hold your peace/peas/pee

If everyone just contributes all the mana they don't need then we will all get a nice amount of cards, and everybody will be happy.

It's too easy to hide behind your roleplaying gig as scum. It makes you hard to read which is bad for town.

I was thinking.
This format makes it very easy for scum to hide, because you don't have to make big commitments to votes.
Is it useful to start up a voting system and then just all attack whoever gets voted to the top?
Or will this make the game too much like normal mafia and take the fun out of it?

I think it might be a good idea. We can try to catch scum by their voting. Also we would get to see flips earlier, which gives us extra info. Does anyone have thoughts on this?

Easy, whoever doesn't vote gets attacked instead of the top voted person.
Not voting = not committing = scum


Lynch all lurkers is a lazy way to do things. And just going by post count seems to be a TERRIBLE idea.

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.

Nothing like that. Its a ninja deck. I've also come to the realization that a good chunk of my synergy went out the window, with the second main phase being cut.

Hi guys. Just so you know I'm a magic noob. I was supposed to hydra with Risen, but he dropped out and took all the magic knowledge with him lol. I'll try to do my best, but I'll probably still be dumb, therefore, feel free to correct me when I make mistakes because I know I will.

As for this whole Mind Glow issue. I only think a few mana total should be used on it because I don't think it is wise to discard so many cards because that's wasteful. I also don't think I would contribute mana to it because it seems like a big goal of using it is so Bin can get that Voyage card, which if I understand correctly won't help me at all. Risen seems to have had a fondness for non basic lands (all of my basic lands are already in play lol).

Oh, also can anyone that played in the first MTG Mafia summarize any hugely important things from it? Basically, I'm trying to think what is better, everyone attacking 1 person or everyone slowly whittling down everyone else, so they'll be easier to kill later. Typing that out makes me think that attacking 1 person is best because it will be as close to a normal lynch as possible, but I'm not sure with all this magic stuff, so I'm asking.


Apologetic, defensive, wishy washy? Hits them all. Hi scum, welcome to the thread! You don't get to play the noobie card, and if you're scum with marv, you need to streamline your tactics so only one of you does it next game.

Coincidentally, mind telling me what you think of Marv?

Why is Crossfire forbidden from playing the noobie card? I actually would like you to explain why his apologetic entrance is scummy, because I have no issue with what Cross put down there. He was wishy-washy on policy, not scumhunting so that also speaks to the "noobie" side of the coin.

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.

I disagree with the notion of everything that can attack should attack. However, I would only accept that if you were legitimately doing other things, instead of simply not attacking. The combat phase is like the voting structure, so if you either don't have creatures, or you have abilities that you want to use instead of attacking, I would like an explanation of what you intend to do and why. In addition, if you cannot contribute to the attacking phase itself, I'd like input on who you would like to have focused down, if anyone.




I can't say I have anyone who I really think is scum yet. iGrok is the trolliest of us, so he's the lowest level of null in terms of who I would be inclined to attack.

Clockwork and ThePoster are active and from my perspective are trying to steer the town in the "correct" (whatever that means) direction from their point of view.

Stutters has yet to follow through on:
On January 30 2013 00:48 Stutters695 wrote:
I'm up, catching up now.

I'm willing to let slide the initial posting because he said he was at work. I initially found it scummy that ThePoster took a swing at stutters for being afkish last night, but he's done that to almost everything in the thread (looking at you gonzaw).
Stutter's you caught up yet or what? You should have had plenty of time by now, give us something.

Regarding Xfire, and what I asked Acro to expand upon
-> If you haven't seen cross' mafia play from Mario mini, consult with Dandel (he co-hosted). I believe I can "feel" his enthusiasm towards this game and based on what I've seen of his scum play, my gut-read is town on him from his opening post alone. Obviously this is a meta read, but his filter is too short to make anything more than that out of it.

BinOnFire seems to have a very pro-town deck setup, so his posting so far, while generally beneficial for town, is pigeonholed due to the nature of the deck he's running. Aside from wanting to keep him around because we will all benefit, I don't see any great contributions to develop a town OR scum read on him.

I'm null on Nova. His posting doesn't give off scumvibes, and he gave out reads seemingly as soon as they came to mind when he found his way into the thread. However, he developed a suspicion on CH and went off on a speculation tangent:

2 things before dinner:
I feel that ThePoster is doing a fine job, and has been attempting to do more actual scumhunting and pro-town things than the rest of us. Compared to CH, where I find that much if not most of the time he has been trying to explain why he feels that Minds Aglow is good for the entire town, not only for him. the second thing is related to this:
How is Minds Aglow particularly pro town? If we have to discard back to 7 anyway, I don't like giving CH 10 zombies. Why? Because if he gets 10 zombies before we can get anything that could even come close to rivaling that and he turns out to be scum, we're screwed. Thats like mafia having 30 kp, and we couldnt even be sure if he IS scum because he could just target "scummy" town players. kill 2 of them, and the games like, over. unless someone draws some miracle, that is.

with a lot of hypothetical thinking that assumes CH is scum. I'm fine with general paranoia, but this post just felt a little to assertive in picking a target.

Generally waiting to see what SMTD does, as marv isn't exactly readable day1 and SnB has posted very little.

Sorry I wasnt around last night. Was out playing bridge like an old lady

Havent read everything yet, but Aperture is sure sounding scummy to me with this post
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=389088&currentpage=23#455

so super victimized. I'm not even sure if that many people said he was scum, just that he should stop with the stupid trolling.

What I'm advocating (before anyone says "waaah all you ever do is tell us not to play things") is not to play things that could help scum. Lets see what we already know:

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.


You are running really scared of what scum *might* do, instead of thinking of what they probably WILL do. If there is some deck that will combo out everybody on T2, then it is 3.5x more likely to be on town side. Meaning we have a 7:2 chance of town winning on T2, right off the bat. Maybe we should discuss deck strategies a bit more and who is playing what, in order to decide whether any potential combos will fuck us over, or win us the game. Thereby shifting the probabilities even further in our favour.

Also, you only have to fear zombies, if you're scum.
Are you scum, iGrok? Your extremely cautious play indicates to me that you are. A townie being afraid of all the potential ways he can die would try to figure out whether they can and will actually happen, rather than fear monger with it.

Also, as I said above, townies have statistics on their side and thus less reason to be scared.

You know why zombies aren't scary if you're not scum? Because they won't attack you!

I find this whole "people assume there must be a scum hydra" thing of yours to be suspicious.
I don't think anyone specifically said there must be a scum hydra. It seems like you are trying to push the discussion in a certain direction without a good reason.

Is it likely that there is a scum hydra? Yes, because there are so many hydra's.
Is it unlikely there is no scum hydra? Not very unlikely. (12%)

It is as likely a lone player is scum, as that a hydra is scum, so why look at hydra's only?

My thoughts on BinOnFire:

They seem town enough to me. MG makes a good point about the cards that they play. They are helpful to town. Of course we have to see how that pans out next turn, but right now we don't have much in the way of damage to throw around anyway.
The main source of confusion seems to be oats, who is playing very weirdly. I think this is just down to bad play. Played with him in newbie game and he did not make a very strong impression on me there.


My thoughts on CW:
Seems happy to have people play a card that will help him a lot, although he was wary of cards that help a certain person too much. Makes total sense to me. Anyone will be happy if a card is played that helps them, wether they are scum or town. I am wary of giving too much power to CW, but I would love it if a card would turn out great for me.

Well, I'd like to see that math of yours. I got that there is a 9% chance no hydra is scum, and that's if scum are chosen uniformly (I might have gotten it wrong though)
Take away uniformity to take balance and stuff into account, and that chance is even smaller.
Take into account that Nova doesn't seem to be scum, thus that the only way no hydra is scum is if both Stutters+Crossfire are scum, and that chance goes even lower and lower.

Also lol:

If I am scum, then what I'm saying is 100% true isn't it?

I want to put attention on hydras, and not let anybody fly under the radar. Again (I've said this like 10 times), so we don't repeat what happened last game.

I won't 100% oppose a Stutters+Crossfire scumteam though, if there is evidence for such. And I'd probably not oppose it after someone flips, not before most likely.

Bleh.. I kinda forgot you are a hydra too, since you never sign your posts
Also I was wrong on the math. *sigh
I should sleep early tonight.
On third attempt I arrive at 8% (3/9)*(2/8) I might be off on that again though.

Why do you think Nova is not scum? I just looked through his filter
He did not post a whole lot. Did not scumhunt very hard. Made some "me too" posts.
Didn't really scream "town" to me

What's your "updated" read on Bin?
What about the other hydras?


If you guys are going against Nova+Stutters/etc, remember: It's VERY unlikely 2 of them are scum.

Thus, if you find Nova suspicious, you basically find Stutters and Crossfire like confirmed town. Same with the other 2.

Thus, if you put suspicion on any of them, before spouting stuff in the thread (or rather before actively FoSing any of them), think about how that changes your read on Stutters/Crossfire, and see if it's consistent and you agree.
If you think something is wrong, then better reconsider your initial push (unless you want to pressure the guy, which is fine I guess)

I am suspicious of Crossfire, and I don't see any inconsistencies with my reads on Nova and Stutters, thus I'm slightly more confident in that read.


A question!
I'm going to ignore it first, because your statement that if nova is scummy that stutters/cross are almost confirmed town is of course non sense. If Nova is confirmed scum, then stutters and cross are just as likely as anyone else to be scum.

Aaaaaaaaaanyway, I'm gonna take your word for it for now that Nova is playing normally. I don't have the time to check it unfortunately. Between stutters and crossfire, crossfire is the obvious choice just because of the lurkiness. I've read through both filters, and neither struck me as very scummy or townie. Crossfire hardly posted anything at all though. The game is still short though.. so that might all change. Crossfire made some excuses about not knowing mtg very well, but hasn't done any of the normal scumhunting either.


As a bonus, my read on DFTP: seemed scummy to me at first, but for no good raisin. Tried reading his filter, gave up, seemed genuinely angry at the trolling though, so that's nice. Also warning people to play their cards is appreciated. So feeling a bit more confident on towniness now.

Now im going to play shuriken!

I've just caught up with the thread, I'd like to echo this:

I don't think I've ever read anything that less demonstrates how someone is mafia. For that, I congratulate you.

-marvelbabe

In no way does this constitute a townread on suckmytopdeck, but I didn't find much in that case. For one thing, it only addressed the FIRST PAGE of SuckMyTopDeck's filter. He was up to four pages at the time of posting.

As to what was asked of my hydra-head, I'm not sure if you specifically wanted zebezt's read or a read from "us", but I can't read marv day 1 for the life of me. He's null until he fails to give a shit as the game progresses. SnB is banking heavily on his "experience" from MTG (I) as far as I can tell. They've both started to show suspicion towards Nova, which is completely reasonable to me.




I also have a problem with cross neglecting to tell us anything about what he's doing, so I agree with DFTP (both of them)

I also have a good fucking reason to dislike the presence of deathrite shaman on the board, so that's an even bigger kick in the nuts from Cross.


I have no reason to attack this turn, so I'm not gonna. I wouldn't mind if cross pointed his goblin guide at me since I can block it with minimal/no repercussions (aside from a tapped goblin).

That analysis post/link is awesome as far as scumhunting goes. He's set a standard for himself that needs to be upheld so I feel quite good about his overall contributions so far, and I expect similar in the future.


At least 1 hydra...
BinOnFire is my pick right now if I have to pick one, but I don't necessarily subscribe to the 1 (non)-hydra MUST 100% be scum. I'm rereading right now and grabbing dinner. Back soon.

Actually, this game is 3 days long, dear.
The "there isn't much to go on yet" part is false, at least to form opinions (if not black and white "he's scum/town" reads).

Also in a normal game you'd be crucified for saying that (considering you would have voted for a lynch by now).

Also hey, I don't have "good reads" on people either, yet I'm not being called out as scum, which reduces the possibilities for scum in many people's eyes, thus making the game easier for town. That's something isn't it? You guys should try it some time.

/G


I'm not your dear, buddy
If I would have had to vote, my vote would have gone to crossfire for posting absolutely nothing, yet finding time to cast spells.
Suck is starting to look suspicious to me, but that is mainly based on what I read skimming through the thread this morning. Good post from Nova I think. I haven't read Suck's filter myself yet, so I'm not going to deep into it.

Just checked all of CH's discards, pretty cool looking deck. I noticed a nevinerals (?) disk being discarded. That seems slightly townie to me. If I was scum I would hang on to that bad boy. Blasting away everything is pretty good for scum since their mob survives.

I never said we shouldn't look at hydra's. I just think it is weird to work from the assumption there must be a hydra.
(I was an idiot and thought DFTP was not a hydra though and that this made him look scummy)

I still stand by that. Anyone is as likely to be scum as anyone else, so logically it makes no sense to ask a question like "who do you think is the scum hydra". Better to just ask who is scum.

Also, if someone even dares to play a 0/X creature with no abilities, then I'll seriously have to consider "policy lynching" you

Why 0/X creatures suck:
If you are scum, then it means that you have 1 blockable and basically indestructible monster. Thus, town have to spend more effort/time to kill you, thus you survive longer

If you are town, then it means that maybe a random scum won't attack you directly that easy....maybe?

If you are town, try to establish your innocence (preferably following the commandments above). If you do, then no townie should attack you AT ALL the whole game. If scum want to attack you, they have to FoS you first. If they do it badly the rest of town will fuck him up, so don't worry, don't be afraid and put a 0/X beast just to "defend" yourself.

If you do however, we also can't know if you are mafia or not, since 0/X creatures are good for mafia as well. So you basically confuse the hell out of town, and maybe even convince town to kill you

If you have a 0/X beast to play, please tell us first, and most importantly tell us why you are playing it, so we don't try to "policy kill" you.
I'll heavily consider killing anybody that doesn't follow this.


I also don't see many downsides to stating to the thread what you are playing before you do (if it's something unblockable, etc), so consider doing that.

For instance:
I'm playing BlooodStained Mire, a land card right now

Has no effect at all for now (I'm not activating it until I consult with Prom)

My reasons for having 0/X creatures are completely separate from the merits of playing Mafia. They were selected based on the supposed synergy they provide for my deck. In addition, my deck was selected before my alignment so your entire argument is completely invalidated. I have 0/X creatures and I will play them because they further my goals, and ultimately the town's goals since I need my deck to function in order to do anything. If you feel the need to policy an 0/X creature, you're doing it wrong.

Here you say they further your goals, which is presumably to play ninjas. However, the first thing you actually DO with them is:

I'm not going to answer your question about when I asked iGrok because I don't know if that's allowed. I pm'd him and will see what he says.

Just a note, but if we lynched a scum day 2 and there were only 2 scum left night 2, scum would have only had 1 shot because mafia kp is # of mafia/2 rounded up. So 2/2 = 1 which still rounds up to 1.

Lol I might have misunderstood how MtG actions resolve because I don't play MtG and iGrok told me they resolve like MtG. I believe my point still stands, though, because he listed my actions in the middle of his list and not at the beginning or the end.

Anyways, I think his rage is completely over the top, but his reads match up with his actions around putting mana into minds aglow, as well as his indignant response to gonzaw when called out for it. He doesn't have to stop and think about why he's upset, he knows immediately that he didnt want to give CH zombies. I dislike that he didn't talk about anything, but then again, why would scum intentionally shroud their actions? I don't think they would. I don't want to attack crossfire, he doesn't make sense as scum to me. Here's another example:

Judging by Mario, crossfire is not scum, or at least not showing it thus far.

Oh, how nice of you. Thank you for the vote of confidence. To be completely honest though, most of what happened in Mario was due to two things. 1) That thread was way way way too active for my taste. I absolutely hated it, and would have hated it even if I was town. 2) Real life screwed me over hard during that game. I was away for the first half of day 1 and didn't think it was going to be an issue at all, but was an issue because of the activity level. Additionally, my internet really did crap out on me and make me unable to use the 3 hours I had to planned to devote to that game. I had no idea what to do after that, so i did my random stuff with 1 hr to go before the most hilarious, crazy, and random lynch I have ever been a part of.

Anyway that turned out to be way longer than I thought it would be. Whatever. lol


I had a double-take upon reading this post. I say I have a townread on cross, and he posts something that basically says my reasoning is irrelevant. I don't see why scum would bother telling me to question myself when I had a townread.

Hey all.
I'm around again.
I must say this is a pretty active group.
I'm gonna be making a case on xfire now... although most things have kinda been said on that, but maybe I'll find something new.
I'll get back with that in a sec.
Then hopefully I also have time to read up on all the stuff going on with SuckMyTopdeck

Also, if someone even dares to play a 0/X creature with no abilities, then I'll seriously have to consider "policy lynching" you

Why 0/X creatures suck:
If you are scum, then it means that you have 1 blockable and basically indestructible monster. Thus, town have to spend more effort/time to kill you, thus you survive longer

If you are town, then it means that maybe a random scum won't attack you directly that easy....maybe?

If you are town, try to establish your innocence (preferably following the commandments above). If you do, then no townie should attack you AT ALL the whole game. If scum want to attack you, they have to FoS you first. If they do it badly the rest of town will fuck him up, so don't worry, don't be afraid and put a 0/X beast just to "defend" yourself.

If you do however, we also can't know if you are mafia or not, since 0/X creatures are good for mafia as well. So you basically confuse the hell out of town, and maybe even convince town to kill you

If you have a 0/X beast to play, please tell us first, and most importantly tell us why you are playing it, so we don't try to "policy kill" you.
I'll heavily consider killing anybody that doesn't follow this.


I also don't see many downsides to stating to the thread what you are playing before you do (if it's something unblockable, etc), so consider doing that.

For instance:
I'm playing BlooodStained Mire, a land card right now

Has no effect at all for now (I'm not activating it until I consult with Prom)

My reasons for having 0/X creatures are completely separate from the merits of playing Mafia. They were selected based on the supposed synergy they provide for my deck. In addition, my deck was selected before my alignment so your entire argument is completely invalidated. I have 0/X creatures and I will play them because they further my goals, and ultimately the town's goals since I need my deck to function in order to do anything. If you feel the need to policy an 0/X creature, you're doing it wrong.

Here you say they further your goals, which is presumably to play ninjas. However, the first thing you actually DO with them is:

I disagree with the notion of everything that can attack should attack. However, I would only accept that if you were legitimately doing other things, instead of simply not attacking. The combat phase is like the voting structure, so if you either don't have creatures, or you have abilities that you want to use instead of attacking, I would like an explanation of what you intend to do and why. In addition, if you cannot contribute to the attacking phase itself, I'd like input on who you would like to have focused down, if anyone.


You only accept people not attacking if they are legitimately doing other things. You are not. Why you contradict yourself?

That was in the context that attacking might actually have an impact. 0/3 creatures don't have an impact in my opinion. Me attacking is like laying an FoS, and then refusing to vote at the deadline. Are you trying to get me to leave myself open so you can throw all your zombies at me?



Does no one else find Nova's case on Suck to be completely lacking on all fronts? He's had time and opportunity to come back and dissect maybe 1 more page of filter, but basically...hasn't.

I want to know how they are so incredibly schizophrenic, though. It's a great strategy as scum: Xfire is town! No! Xfire is scum!

So what's your stance on Xfire?

In fact, I am missing general scum reads, the whole filter is confusing in that sense. Lot of waffle, some town reads, but no pressure and no consolidated reads. If you had a 10/10 trample thingy, who would you attack? And why? Go.

Hi guys. Just so you know I'm a magic noob. I was supposed to hydra with Risen, but he dropped out and took all the magic knowledge with him lol. I'll try to do my best, but I'll probably still be dumb, therefore, feel free to correct me when I make mistakes because I know I will.

As for this whole Mind Glow issue. I only think a few mana total should be used on it because I don't think it is wise to discard so many cards because that's wasteful. I also don't think I would contribute mana to it because it seems like a big goal of using it is so Bin can get that Voyage card, which if I understand correctly won't help me at all. Risen seems to have had a fondness for non basic lands (all of my basic lands are already in play lol).

Oh, also can anyone that played in the first MTG Mafia summarize any hugely important things from it? Basically, I'm trying to think what is better, everyone attacking 1 person or everyone slowly whittling down everyone else, so they'll be easier to kill later. Typing that out makes me think that attacking 1 person is best because it will be as close to a normal lynch as possible, but I'm not sure with all this magic stuff, so I'm asking.


Making excuses for yourself is usually considered scummy, but this one isn't too bad in my book. The excuse is limited to mtg, and that seems a fair warning in this case.
Saying discarding cards is wasteful is nonsense of course. We're not talking about the environment here. It might burn people through their decks faster, but that is a different thing. All in all, he is casting doubt on what is pretty good for town.
Then about the lands.. only thinking about what is good for himself. Not what is good for town. Some will say "herpderp, but you cast 0/3 creatures that don't help anyone" that is completely different cause they will turn into awesome scumhunting ninjas! Also they did not prevent us from contributing to the Mind Glow.


After this post he goes on to defend the rights of players to defend themselves. A big percentage of his posts are devoted to this and the ensuing confusion. Might be noobiness, but still looks a lil scummy.

He then turns an accusing finger to CH.

1. 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.

What do you think were the "mistakes" town did in the previous game and the "reason" scum won that game?

Well, you mentioned quite a bit of it. They/you spent a LOT of time bickering about useless stuff (not just setup, but completely pointless stuff about setup) and town didn't play as a team (mainly due to everybody mistrusting each other for stupid shit). This game is fundamentally different from normal mafia games not just in that we kill with magic, but because we don't actually have a town-controlled KP.

It is thus twice as important to be an active townie, because we are a town TEAM. We need to work together, because our strength is in numbers. This turn people may be able to play one creature, which is a bit of a wimp. But if next turn we can all attack one player with wimps, that will be a healthy chunk of damage. If everybody goes off attacking their own favourite target without reasoning it out properly (like happened in the first 3 turns or so of the previous game), then we have lots of players at 16 life and one dead townie due to mafia creature. That is pointless, and last game was in fact harmful, because the mafia creature could one-shot people sooner than should have been possible (although mafia derped too when they missed an attack).

And, honestly, yes, signing IS important. Firstly there are umpteen hydras here and I don't even know which hydra belongs to whom. Secondly, your train of thought should be clear. It's unfair not just to me, but ot others in this game who may not be as familiar with most of you.

Also, assuming the first game did things right is a gross misrepresentation of that game. I read it at the time, and it was a concatenation of mistakes. Partially because people got setup speculation wrong in the beginning, and partially due to just plain bad play.

Scum won that game... and they won for a reason. Lets not repeat it.

As for your points, they're fairly straightforward.

The thing about #4 (also kinda applies to #5):

Sure it's a townies job to establish his townieness - but if everybody did that properly, we wouldn't need any policies in the first place, now.

I shall be reluctant to participate in plans when they result in a favorable position of somebody whose alignment I have no clue about. And I advise everybody to use the same caution in regards to this.
On the other hand, I won't have any problems cooperating with people whose townieness I am sure of. (or at least if acro is, that's fine too)

. Then look at how they throw caution to the wind and say everyone trust us and do what's best for us because they would benefit disproportionately from this Minds Aglow play with tons of mana put towards it + Show Spoiler +

Okay so here's the thing:

We are running Zombie Infestation.
(this badboy right here:+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
)

For that reason, we would have prefered Minds aglow next turn (and given all 3 mana, too!), but it seems like like it would be more beneficial to town in general this turn, than delaying until next turn

So if it's going to be today, we would REALLY like to cast zombie infestation this turn (instead of contributing mana). And of course still ask everyone else to use as much mana as humanly possible!

Not just the lurkers/scum! Everyone! Think of it as a group project!

I promise we're not crazy (or scum)

~dandel (with acro's consent)
. I mean it's not even 3 hours into day 1 yet. It would be one thing to just advocate power plays, but the fact they warn against them and say to be really careful, but then instantly say to back theirs is ridiculous.

Lastly, I already showed before how their attack on me was bad and all of this definitely has me thinking Clockwork is the first scum.


His first point is basically that he feels unfairly treated because CH bashed him for asking about the previous game, while answering somebody elses question about it. Ok.. it was a little unfair. But in no way proof that he is scum.
His second point is that CH says he is "reluctant to participate in plans when they result in a favorable position of somebody whose alignment I have no clue about" but then is liking the mind glow a lot while it helps him most of all.
This is of course in no way contradicting as CH explained later on. He knows his own alignment after all.

A lot of time passes and no posts appear, people point fingers...
Then just before the deadline 2 creatures are cast. Was he just lurking this whole time?
He claims to be busy, is anyone too busy to even drop a quick line? To say when they will be back?

Then we get this:

Nowhere does he ever type like this. In fact I notice most of the time he is getting along very well with everyone and laughing a lot. Not quite like this game. Suspicious

Also why did you choose to cast that Shaman card? I hope to god you never use an instant nor sorcery this game.

Your right Gonzaw. Sorry, for getting so angry. There's a lot of crap going on irl causing me to be stressed and i'm getting way too pissed off at people saying where's crossfire. crossfire isn't here. crossfire needs to post more becaues I know i am literally using every free moment to play this game.

I hope we can have a clean start from here and i will try not to let me emotions get the best of me. Feel free to call me out again if I get too angry again. I don't want to play like that.


This is nice n fuzzy n all, but actually looks weird to me.
Who moodswings like that? is he having PMS?
This is the kind of apologetic that seems scummy to me.


After this people attack him for casting a creature that has an anti-town ability. While this is not completely fair, since he hasn't used the ability, he could have not cast the creature and instead have contributed to an extra card for everyone.

After all of this though, zero contribution to scumhunting except a TERRIBLE case aimed at CH.

All of this combined makes Crossfire by far the scummiest player at the moment.

Well...I dunno.

If we kill Aperture and he flips scum, it'll give us more info, and we can catch the remaining scum.

Right now I'd say it's between Xfire/Rock maybe.
If I'm very wrong it could be Bin/CH/Stutters though (and maybe that Bin thing is a bus?).

/G


You need to get over your Nova blindspot, jeez. Bin and Stutters are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less likely to be mafia than Nova, for sure.


Derp lol I forgot about Nova lol

Put it Xfire/Nova/Rock, followed by CH/Bin/Stutters.

I am not really fond of Nova's attack of you (even if strong's case wasn't that good either).
He hasn't been around for a while, which he was last game.
I.e he was around on D1 with his "laid back" one liners, but in MTG 1 he kept the same behaviour all game long.
Now he suddenly stopped doing anything this D2..?

He could be scum.

Hmm....it's a toss between him and Xfire to be honest. I don't really see Rock as scum, zbest saying he doesn't have any read is not something scum do.

/G

Did anyone actually look into how much effort went into Nova's case against SMTD?

I would value your opinion before the attack phase ends. So far you have said shit about Bin, which has not convinced me he's scum. Other than that, I know very little about what you think about anybody. Please do Xfire and/or Suck.

I already said I'm going to do Xfire and Nova. But it will have to wait until I get home from work.

That's 20 damage, we would need 19 more damage to, for instance, kill both Xfire and Aperture?

Is this possible?

Also, if CH's zombies attacks go through today (which I thought it couldn't), then we need less town KP

We'll see what I draw, but I expect to deal 2 damage tomorrow.

Like, everybody's job right now is stating if they agree with the cases or not, because tomorrow we are 100% attacking those 2 guys and hopefully killing one of them.

Stutters and Nova haven't posted their thoughts on them yet.....Rock hasn't either for some reason (I don't know why Apperture posting his "analysis" will make my case invalid or something)

It won't make it invalid, but perhaps less convincing? Also...I hadn't seen your case when I made that "I'm waiting post" because the subscribed function is less than ideal on a hydra account. I still stand by I want to see what iGrok pieces together in the meantime.

No need to give him more HP than necessary.

It's tapped, and I intend for him to die before he gets an untap phase. By my math, we need 28 damage to kill cross right now (12+16). I've got 2, CH has 11, DFTP has 10 = 23. We need 5 more.

(I'll sac a walker to clear his goblin during the attack so CH has a clear path)

You can't. You can either tap him for damage, or tap him to attack.

Sadly no, I can't do both this turn, and the ninja enters play tapped anyways. I potentially could use a walker to throw the shuriken, but then I don't have mana to get the ninja out, and cross gets the shuriken.

Wow.. xfire gave up so easily
If I was scum I would at least have saved that card till the end of mainphase.
Although he might be sacrificing himself this way. If we waste this day just focussing on xfire it might be good for his scumbuddy.
Also.. it's like that deck was made knowing he'd roll scum.

Who here thinks Aperture isn't the remaining scum?

Also, who thinks that CH/me/Rock/Bin could possibly be scum in any way possible (regarding what's happening with Xfire and previous interactions)? Please raise your hand.

/G


If CH is scum, it's a very convincing bus he is doing right now.

If you are scum, I think we are doomed. I'm not willing to dismiss the possibility yet though.
Could be that you n xfire saw that he was basically lost and decided he would give up and you could get some town cred for killing him. After playing the card he did I don't think anyone can get much town cred for attacking him anymore though.

Bin seems unlikely to be scum, unless the scum monster suddenly switches targets while Bin can be finished off.

I know we are town, I get some towncred for attacking xfire, but my other head gets scum points for defending him :D

Yes, this is accurate.

Okay. Just wanted to know. I don't know how your deck was supposed to work, but I am going to guess that at the moment it just isn't working?

I am honestly more worried about Aperture. He knew he'd have to discard, yet claims it was random (despite having 24 hours, and prior knowledge that he'd have 24 hours, to discard). All his antics about certain decks being ticking timebombs just waiting for the right combo pieces, seem to refer to his own deck. Additionally, both iGrok and Greymist know too much about MTG to make a combo deck that is completely defenseless until they throw down their combo. The whole thing smells of funk, especially when we already suspect him of being scum.

iGrok: would I find stuff that could help us kill Xfire if I looked at your hand right now?


You would indeed, but in order to use it I need someone else to cast a instant or sorcery that does damage.
-GreY

Could you provide more detail? gonzaw/prom are going to 3x Chain Lightning on Crossfire. What can you do with that?

On his defense, I guess he addressed gonzaw's case, but not in any great detail. Most of the defense I see is that work was too busy and also that he always trolls day1. The trolling isn't scummy, but I feel that promising reads for "after work" and then not following through looks bad. I can't say whether being forced to RNG his discards was intentional, or if its even true.

Are we allowed to know if a discard was at random?

good morning all.
Seems it wasn't a very busy night.
I agree on the analysis by aperture. This way is fairly subjective and it doesn't really show the bigger picture. Personally posts that are in the range -2 to 2 I dont wanna hear about.

I was surprise though, that
Well crossfire is my number one read but he's been discussed to death. I'll have a post explaining my next best read when I get a few minutes of downtime at work. In the meantime I'll contribute to discussions however I can. I will say I feel a bit better about AS now that he's a bit more into it. Right now I don't think Nova is scum so if X turns out to be town I'd bet on a double hydra team.

scored 4 / 3 scum points. If he wouldnt say "he's been discussed to death" you'd just accuse him of sheeping and give him even more points

What you should bash him for is saying he'll write about his next best read, but as far as I can see he never does. He writes a little about RH, but this is because he is asked specifically about RH by DFTP. What he writes doesn't really indicate that RH is his second biggest scumread.

When Aperture says he will write but he doesn't people freak out. But Stutters gets a free pass? Aperture actually tried with the PBPA, but stutters showed nothing.

I am totally okay with you doing something too. Who is Xfire's partner in crime and why?

/Acro

Well by elimination really, I have CH, SMTP, DFTP and duh, myself as town, so that leaves Stutters, Nova and AS.

Of those three, I'm most inclined to see stutters as scum. As zeb pointed out, and both GreY and iGrok pointed out in his analysis, the flip-flop on my "entrance post" regarding the 0/X creatures is the epitome of a Lynch-all-liars policy and has obvious scum connotations (forgot what lies he told) with no clear town motivation behind the how or why that read changed.

In addition, saying he'll put together reads and then not doing so, (which marv says is right up his meta-alley,) is still freaking scummy. As far as associative cases, the "xfire has been discussed to death" is a good way to sheep without saying a goddamned thing.



AS is difficult to read as noted due to his scumhunting methods being "mechanical". While I think stutters is scummier, I am generally fearful of the power of AS's deck, so I'm comfortable sheeping an attack on him if people still feel he's the top candidate. Gonzaw's case is still quite good, but the assumption that random discards fucked up his play and that work is hectic kind of makes me want to stay my hand.


I guess that leaves me null of Nova? He hasn't given a whole lot to the thread (though he has a pretty good excuse for that), and I'd expect scum to be kind of forced to bus xfire. However, in his response to the case on AS:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17688758
he basically ends off with "kill xfire", AS needs more discussion. At the time I don't think xfires fate was sealed by any means, as scum he could have had the opportunity to sheep gonzaw's case, so I consider this to lean him towards a townread.

yo, I'm back
Don't pat yourself on the back too much Gonzaw.. I mentioned the possibility of a bus ages ago

I have spend the day thinking about it too (well not the entire day, but way too much of it).
I'm going to be doing some analyzing now.. gonna be thinking about the following things:
Why did Xfire out himself so early?
Who defended Xfire? Who attacked him?
Why does Xfire play so badly, does he not get scum advice?
Why was Bin picked as scum target?
Who did Xfire defend/attack?

I'm Leaving Bin out as a suspect, since he seems town, unless he does not get killed by scum this attackphase.

Ok.. going with the questions I asked myself:
  • who did Xfire attack? Only CH. Who did he defend? Nobody rly. He basically didn't post much of anything.
  • Who attacked him in thread? Better question is, who didn't? Aperture did not go further then saying he looked "weird" along with nova. Stutters says he is on top of his suspect list, without going into detail why. Nova says he is looking more suspicious than stutters. SuckMyTopdeck finds him suspicious but also says
    Crossfire's point on Clockwork arguing about putting too much power in one person's hands and then wanting power themselves (the zombie thing?) is essentially correct, I think. But it could well be Acro being egotistical.
    and in the end goes with DFTP to pick Aperture as most likely scum.
    Those are the people that attack him the least. Aperture and Suck come out looking the most suspicious based on this.
    I noticed a back and forth between Gonzaw and Xfire about the 0/3 creatures that seemed to be mainly misunderstanding. Did not seem like something scum would set up amongst themselves? (what do other people think about this?)
    On the other hand DFTP did attack Aperture instead of Xfire. Was he trying to protect a scumbuddy?
  • Why did xfire not figure out to sac his stuff to keep himself alive? Well obviously because he is bad at mtg, but didnt he have a scum QT where people could tell him things? Either his scumbuddies are not very involved, or not very good at mtg either. This seems to disqualify CH and DFTP who seem to have their shit in order and are very active.
    People qualifying here are: Nova and stutters, know mtg, but are not very active. SuckMyTopdeck is relatively active but marv is not very savvy with mtg. Aperture seemed to be reasonably active during the last period and have good mtg knowledge.
  • Why was BinOnFire attacked? The most logical reason seems to be because of his deck. Oats is definately not the new Sherlock Holmes and MG didn't seem to do much analysis outside of the mtg stuff.
    Who were the other best targets? It seems that CH with his strong deck and DFTP with strong thread presence would be the obvious choices. This would put some suspicion on them, because if they were scum, they would probably not kill themselves. However as I pointed out earlier, they probably would have coached xfire better.
  • Why did xfire out himself so early? Was this a deliberate choice by scum? If so, what could be the goal? By outing himself xfire gave town more time to look for the next scum. He was already under intense scrutiny, but dftp and suck still seemed to be on aperture and several others were not really outspoken on a choice. If it was a deliberate choice by scum I think the reason must have been because they were afraid to die before the beginning of the attackphase. They needed the extra life to survive longer. People wanted to see a flip, and killing xfire would be the easiest way to get one. Still, he a decent chunk of life left. What other explanation is there?
    Maybe a rogue action? xfire is bored of the game and decides to go trolling. This would point to little activity in the scum thread. Nova and stutters are back in view.


Ok.. based on this analysis I have my list of scum suspects in order of most to least suspicious
  1. Stutters (scores above Nova based on not delivering on a promised scumread)
  2. Nova (will have to do a detailed read of his filter to see if I can bump him one up over stutters)
  3. SuckMyTopdeck
  4. Aperture
  5. The not quite as good as Rock Hydra hydra
  6. DFTP
  7. BinOnFire

Well if it was bulletproof, why did Suck and DFTP disagree?
I agree though that any deductions based on this action are not very strong.

Just read through Nova's filter. Very little content except for a case on Suck. Case is decent, but doesn't even use the entire filter.
Stutters is still on top
Since you guys convinced me I shoulnt read too much into the early surrender by xfire, I will check Suck more closely as well.
Not right now though, it's late and I had some beer already.

Ok.. new piece of information I wanted to share
Check out which people did not use New Frontier
CH (has no basic lands)
Stutters and xfire
wouldnt any decent scumbuddy have warned xfire to search for 2 lands to sac to destroy 2 more permanents?

stutters was the only one besides xfire that didnt notice the new frontier.

I dont think this coincedence

nevermind. Googled it myself. I suppose it's possible xfire does run without basic lands then. Although I don't understand why he'd keep badlands instead of searching for a dual. But he obviously isnt very mtg savvy.

Pretty damning.
If you combine that with his decklist he seems too dangerous to not lynch next.

If we sure enough Aperture is guilty though, maybe we gotta destroy his enchantment while we can.. it might be a card he uses in combo with mana barbs or something.

I think some of the creatures are in there as filler.
He must have something in mind for all those lands in his hand though, or he would not have discarded Epic Experiment and Minds Desire. So I think his mana might be ramping up fast. (fastbond?)

Nova believing xfire might not be scum seems to be the worst town claim ever.
If xfire turns out to not be scum I think he would be violation of the rule where you have to play to win. I don't think he is that kinda guy.
Keeping an open mind is good. But this, to me, looks like you are pretending to keep an open mind, Nova.

Tough.. just went through Nova's filter again.
Not much content in there.
Because of that also not much suspicious in there.
The thing that sticks out most is the "trying to stay a null read on CH". the explanation for that was quite weird.
and now there is the keeping options open on xfire.

now I guess I should finally read sucks filter. Been putting that off.

Wtf?

Can he be this bad as town?
I mean, if he actually made some good points about me/Clock, then maybe it'd be okay, but it seems he just posted that for the sake of posting something "new" and maybe not just "say something someone else has already said thus seem you have no new content".

I dunno, but he's acting weird as fuck

/G


Go check his previous games. If he's town he's actively playing against his wincon because he's never this bad as town. To treat him as anything other than confirmed scum is wrong. We should be focusing on scum 2 instead of getting derailed by this.

well im not actively playing against my wincon, and im still town. Trying to deal with RL issues and all, probably my last TL mafia game cause shit hit the fan. so is life, apparently.

Would this be scummy due to guilty conscience or townie due to blatant failure to verify accusation target (i.e. Not reading the thread)?

going through suck's filter.. found that according to them stutters meta is not following up on stuff. I guess that definately drops stutters on my suspectlist.
Lol, I should develop a meta for myself like that in case I ever roll scum.

The whole argument that marv is never suspected of being scum on day 1 is terrible, but not sure if that points to scumminess.

Gets into an argument with Oats, but doesn't really think he is scum in the end. Bit weird, but not rly scummy.

bleh, too much to post everything

Overall I get the impression that they are contributing. marv's style is a bit confrontational, but that is probably "totes" their style.

All in all they move down a spot on my suspicion list.

I'm gonna be busy as fuck today, so I won't be able to analyze much until tonight. Going to be reading Apertures filter again since people seem to think he is so scummy.

Right now I'm not convinced yet about Aperture. I probably missed something that everyone else is seeing.
My suspicion of Aperture is less because I feel they would have told xfire to sac his stuff to defend himself.

btw, I think if we can lynch 2 people today that'd be good. But they would have to be good targets.
On the other hand I think letting everyone attack who they want might give us more information.
If we kill two people and we are wrong about em.. that would put us in a pretty bad spot though. Because if everyone acts as one.. it doesnt actually give us any new information.

Tough question.
I think with Aperture getting a lot of attention it doesn't hurt for Nova to lie low and play the no-time-card.
You are right though if I was scum I'd probably try to stay as close to my previous games as possible.

Easy,
as town you want to analyse scum behavior. If you can be sure someone is scum, this helps in the analyzing of the other scum. If you hold this option open too long you limit yourself.

Anyone that seriously want to analyse scum would assume xfire is scum by now.
Only scum of course can really be sure who is scum. Scum knows this and might try to not appear too convinced of somebodys role.

I had noticed the fact that he killed your enchantment too. Noticed it gave you some town cred.
But now that you brag about it yourself that towncred is gone again.
Because it might just be that you told him to kill the enchantment to give you some extra town points.

I screwed up thinking my assignment was due Wednesday, and it is actually due today so I won't have time until tonight to put much thought into this other than quickly addressing the attack plans:

Yes to "double-lynch". My choices would be AS and 1 of stutters/nova today.

1 ninja in play, 1 walker that can attack. and I'll probably ninjutsu ink-eyes this turn (assuming no blockers).
This would give 7 damage from me this turn.

I've got 2 more walkers to play this turn, and a land. I've also got ninja alternatives in the event that getting ink-eyes out wouldn't kill someone (meaning 4 total damage instead of 7). The alternative would most likely a skullsnatcher ninjutsu'd and a phantom warrior this turn.

getting really paranoid though.. is CH trying to get rid of the people with the strongest decks?
I have no idea how strong everybodies decks are. But AS and suck seem to certainly have the weirdest decks.. probably setting up for monster combo's.

Ah.. finally back home
beer time!

My thoughts on lynching today. I'm okay with lynching 2 people, as long as Nova is one of em.

I was getting a little paranoid about CH, but I have decided it's probably too much of a longshot that he is actually scum. Will try to spend my energy on other things for now.

Going to read through CH's case on suck, and see what I can find out about Aperture.

Gotta admit. CHs case has some merit to it. Can't say I agree with some points, but others are pretty good.
Marv's defense isn't all that great either.
Marv's defense seemed bad from earlier attacks already (burglars what?)
Does this just mean marv is not good at making sense? Or not making sense under pressure...
I suppose I should check some of marv's earlier games tomorrow to get an idea. Good thing there is so much time left till attacks have to be announced

What exactly? Not killing AS now? Because that actually sounds completely reasonable, I prefer to WIFOM that dilemma into AS being town. That means I should want stutters and Nova based on my previous reads. I'm reconsidering stutters. He wants me to update my read on him and doesn't want to let me off the hook for what I've said. That feels townie to me.

Based on the interaction between marv and acro, I'd prefer SuckMyTopDeck over AS for today's primary lynch target.

I'm rereading Nova to see if I still want him as my second choice. One of the rare times my hydra-head and I manage to agree. I'm around for 10ish minutes and then headed out to dinner. I'll be catching up properly later tonight.

Good morning all
Marv not wanting to talk anymore doesn't really help their case.
This game is getting way too confusing. Just too many scum candidates.
Hopefully tonight I can make sense of things.

Almost starting to feel like getting 4 people low on health today and then killing them all off in the next day. Then at least we know we have enough KP left over tomorrow.
scum must surely be between nova/AS/CH/Suck

Was thinking about CH again. On one hand, there isn't much reason for CH to go after Suck if they are scum, besides a deck that looks a little stronger. On the other hand, xfire outing himself early sure did a lot of good for CH's reputation. Xfire is still not dead yet. Normally we would have at least be a little weary of CH until flip. But now he has been able to enjoy all his town cred for several days already. A good reason to give up and out yourself is if you KNOW you will be focussed down. How would you know for sure? If your powerful scumbuddy tells you they will kill you.
I guess I'm back to being paranoid.

ok ok CH
I need to take a chill pill. Although I still think ignoring people with useless scum accusations is more helpful. Doesn't waste so much time. If I had to deal with everybody that had some weird scumfeel about us, I wouldnt have time to scumhunt.

I still think we should lynch nova instead of AS though. At least AS tries to be useful, nova is completely useless. And super suspicious with bullshit about xfire maybe not being scum.

Is there a chance there is more than 2 scum in this game?
Then what are we talking about? We have suck and xfire
xfire is already just about dead. So just kill suck and do a celabratory dance.

Or wtf does marv mean with her mafia claim? All I read after her claim was "WIFOM WIFOM WIFOM WIFOM WIFOM WIFOM"

I have no idea why we should let people attack us. Just because you are too lazy to read our filter? That would put us super in scumbeast reach if I'm not mistaken. What is your plan there?
We should just attack the scummy people: suck/nova

I have no problem attacking nova with the creatures we have out now.
But we will block anyone attacking us with the creatures we are casting this turn.
Town is not helped at all by us dying.

Stop acting like idiots.. it makes you seem very suspicious.
We can attack with 2 creatures. Nova has 1. therefore 1 is unblocked -> 5/5+4/4


if we take 6 damage then we die to scumbeast. how are the 5/5 and 4/4 helping us then?

Why should people attack us when there isn't even a case on us?

CH's original attackplan is not bad. Just instead of our ninja going to suck, we send Stutters' bear and everything that is not going to Suck goes to Nova.

*sigh
setting anyone on 10 to 12 life is a big gamble, because they will be easily killed off by scum.
Is scum gonna waste his KP putting somebody thats almost confirmed town to 3 life? NO.
That person is going to survive another day, because nobody will attack em the next turn.

If us taking damage would help in any way to further town goals, we'd probably do it. We are attacking with the creatures that can attack.
How is taking damage going to prove anything? Scum would happily take some damage if it would make them less suspicious.

I'll quote a lesser hydra who agrees with me on this:

Not to say that if you have a shitty chump blocker that you played for its useful side effect (mogg fanatic or so), that you can't use it to chump block if someone decides to attack you. The no-blocker policy is unenforceable anyway. In general townies should always favour attacking over blocking, but I can definitely agree with a townie defending against some giant beast with some chump, rather than doing 1 measly damage themselves (unless that 1 damage is enough to kill scum).

Nova will find some other creature to copy.
It will weaken him, but if he doesnt kill anybody off we will deaden him.

And even though I'm pretty sure about Nova, you or AS could be scum too. You would have no problem taking me out.
This whole plan of yours reeks of scum.
We have always focussed people down, but suddenly you want to spread damage.. conveniently so that people will get in range of scummonster.
There is not even a case on us. Only thing is that we don't want to die... wow that is damning!
Translate this to a normal game: you vote without giving a reason ... pretty damn scummy

Didn't you read the scumhunting by mutual annihilation? It's why I haven't really bothered to figure Rock out too much and just want him dead if Marv flips town.


Yeah, but I'm the kind of townie that wants to figure the game out, and get the whole scumteam as soon as possible and then watch and laugh as they fall.

Trying to do that here is not going as planned lol

Just "killing everybody" seems kind of a "loss" to me in that sense, even if we win.
Just like in OMGUS, I had a game where we were like 7v1 hunting for a SK. We misslynched like twice or something, but because of setup shit and numbers alone the SK was caught and died, and we won, but I still was angry as fuck.

Yeah something like that is happening here. It's frustrating as fuck.

/G


(hurrah for laptop in bed)

gotta agree with your attitude. I wanna figure things out.
Plus since I know we're town I wanna be in the safe group. I'm not content with us not being in there while CH is.
His crappy reasoning around this whole attack strategy reeks of scum.

Rant:+ Show Spoiler +

Also, I dont know what is up with people signing up for a game if they are not willing to put in some effort.
Go play a rubics cube or something, but don't ruin the game for others with your lurking.
If you lost your passion, go do something else ffs.
I wanna play this game and I wanna play it with people that put in time and effort as well. Otherwise the game means nothing. If you don't have any input you are useless to this game and you ruin it for everyone.

I have you as null and then SnB is lurking, so that doesn't help. Prom has an actual townread on you but still wants you to die. I'm in the same-ish boat. You've given warnings of:

I'll say this only once again: if me/aperture flip town, make sure you are actually able to flip CH next.

Anyway, this game isn't fun anymore so I won't be posting anymore.

but you haven't substantiated with anything other than what (to me) comes down to an OMGUS. There are some recent things that I find as reasons to call CH scum, but so many more to call him town. I don't have many reasons to call you anything, so that kind of defaults to scum read in lieu of an actual read at this point. If both you and Nova were to flip town, my money goes onto CH I think. Stutters and DFTP are my top townreads. CH is only slightly behind them, and that's for the "bus of the century" argument.

As I have a scumread on Nova, I want to attack him more than you, but I'm not against you flipping, if only for the sake of optimizing town KP.

2 easy steps:

1: Don't post anything substantial
2: Ask people to read your posts and prove you are scum

So for you that means you just have to follow step 2

Sure. Not the most likely scum imo, but still not convincingly town either. (claiming scum is about the worst way to look town)
As long as we kill nova next turn if we turn out to be wrong. If AS or Suck are scum, we could be too late if we wait another turn, but Nova seems relatively harmless so far.

I'm sure hopeless won't mind either when he comes back.

I suspect if you were scum, you would be having an excellent time CH

Now lurky stutters is the only one left on town-island that I dont 100% trust
But more experienced people seem confident in him, so I guess it's all good. Otherwise the zombies will have to deal with the bears.

AS needs 5(?) more damage to die, Suck has no blockers and is tapped out. I'm going to secure Suck's death and send everything at him. However, while Ink-Eyes is (going to be) dealing damage, she's not staying in play, as I won't risk giving that to Nova in the event that the game isn't over.

Bleh overtime again tonight.
Anyway, I think stutters will hardly be unkillable tomorrow. Problem is that he is going to live yet another day after it, and I'm not so sure if he will be killable then.

I thank you AS for your vote of confidence.

Will post more when I get back from work.

Suck is on track to die, but I need to ninjutsu ink-eyes onto him to finish the job. Nova only needs to pump 1 of (grim lavamancer, ball lightning, bear cub) to finish AS. HE has two targets, so I guess a zombie or something? It's all overkill at that point.

Anywayz,
since I trust CH and DFTP, I'm cool with any plan that kills off us+stutters+nova tomorrow
Not sure if we have enough KP for that though.

Can somebody calculate that?
We were planning on returning ink-eyes to our hand in exchange for a 2/1 after dmg is dealt, just so that nova cant copy it.
However, if it necessary that nova has a 5/4 instead of a 2/2 for us to achieve total annihilation, then I think I can convince hopeless to keep ink-eyes out.

/zebezt going back to work
