Can I suggest you just put a blanket ban on all log sharing in any form. I just don't see a way to balance this for scum if seven guys get to show their dynamic interactions and evolving reads. Basically just have a full on ban of all log sharing so that there is no grey area. | ||

For ease of mind would you each be so kind as to put both your names in your quote. It is somewhat annoying to keep going back to the OP to figure out who is who. Thanks!

You posting that you wouldn't need to say anything since you would use ellipses and not using a single one. Well done champ.

The long-term benefits of lynching mafia have been proven by towns, Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable Than my own countless mislynches. I will dispense this advice... now. Enjoy the power and beauty of being newb, oh, never mind. You will not understand the players and posters of your first game Until they're jaded but trust me, in a couple years you'll look back At games you played and recall in a way you can't grasp now How much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really played. You are NOT as bad as you imagine. Don't worry about the next game or worry knowing that worrying Is as effective as trying to solve a scum team By throwing darts. The real troubles in mafia are apt to be things That never crossed your newbie mind That kind of blindsides you at 4 a.m. hours before a deadline. Do one thing every day that amuses you. Read Don't be reckless with other player's words. Don't put up with players who are reckless with yours. Analyze Don't waste you time on lurkers Sometimes town's ahead, sometimes town's behind, The game is long and in the end, it's only with the mafia. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults, If you succeed in doing this, tell me how Keep your old game PMs, throw away your old thread subscriptions Write The most interesting players I know Didn't play mafia until 22 years old Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know do not. Get plenty of rest, be kind to your eyes. You'll miss them when they're gone. Maybe you'll carry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll teach newbies, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll leave after 40 games, maybe you'll gloat over mafia corpses on your 7th straight town victory. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much Or berate yourself either Your lynches are half chance, so are everybody else's. Enjoy your hydra, use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it, or what other players think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own. Talk, even if you have noplace to do it in but your own PM inbox Read the OP even if you don't intend to obey it. Do not read newbie guides they will only make you self-conscious. Get to know your idols, you never know when they'll quit for good, Be nice to your game hosts, they're your best link to future games, And the most likely to help you in the future. Understand that mafia games come and go, But a previous few, who should hold on (MAFIA LI - ALWAYS REMEMBER) Work hard to find the gaps in the mafia's playstyle. For as the better you get, the more you need the players You knew when you started this game. Live in the General Forum once but leave before it makes you too hard. Live in the Blogs Forum once but leave before it makes you too soft. Enjoy Accept certain inalienable players Mafiastars will rise, game hosts will philander, you too will get good And when you do, you'll fantasize about when you were new Mafiastars were nobodies, game hosts were stoic, and newbies respected veterans. Respect the veterans Do not expect anyone else to support you Maybe you have a Skype group, maybe you'll have an amazing Hydra partner. But you never know when your time in this game might run out. Don't mess too much with your meta Or by the time you hit Day 3 you're going to look like you're playing Day 8 Be careful whose advice you take but be patient with those who supply it Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing for roles from the game thread, pointing them out, getting them night killed, And making a bigger deal about it than it is. But trust me on the mafia. -OO + Show Spoiler + Everybody's Free (To wear sunscreen) haha, holy shit. Don't even care if you are mafia. This just got me right in the nostalgia. I hope you win all of your games forever <3 At the moment I am rather interested in Throats' attack on Moc. I wouldn't say I'm convinced but I am certainly...interested. Like others I'm distracted by personality right now (do you know how hard it is to not post in limericks?) but I am happy to have a new day with no roleplaying. VE, why comment on Oats doing something self-contradictory and dumb? Are you calling him scum for it or are you simply poking fun at it? What was the intent of your 'really' post? | ||

I know, a day one roleclaim is terrible. Hear me out. A Named VT in this set up is not helpful. He is the same as a miller in C9++ he may or may not exist and is the perfect fake claim for scum to escape the lynch. I want any and all Named VTs to claim today so that scum cannot claim the role later. We don't need to give scum an easy way out of a lynch. Does anyone have any objection to this idea? If yes please explain why. If you agree please state that you agree. | ||

Yes thrawn/oats I do have reads but I want to talk to my other head before sharing and he just hasn't shown up. I'm parking a ##Vote: Dirk Hardpec down for now. Bugs stop trolling and play please. Yes this is a pressure vote and yes I am telling you how to get out of it. You aren't dumb so I don't feel a need to disguise my intentions. | ||

Ugh, I can't keep the names straight - I'd really like it if everyone just referred to everyone else by the name of the slot they're in. Anyway, his case on Moo seems driven by emotion - Mocsta/Oats have kinda a little history of going head to head as townies (Nomination, I thnk they did so in LX at one point?) so I wouldn't be surprised at all to find that's what's going on here. I'm more interested in what comes out of FiveTouch/WillNeverReadVEsPostsEver(DirkHardpec). Presumably, that's 2 hydras with four players who should know better than they appear to. TheCastingGolems are looking a little bit better - they're at least providing opinions now, which is better than before. I'll admit that the casting style is actually kinda endearing too. For now, I'm also going to ##Vote: DirkHardpec because his posts are basically begging for votes. So fuck it, why not oblige? -VE moc/oats goes back to their newbie games. I usually find just letting them yell at each other and ignoring their opinions of each other is safest. Kier and palmar seem to be absent. I think this is just marv and bugs yelling at each other. I need my stupid other head here so i can talk some things over with him. I'm gone until Yam comes back. Expect nothing from me until he shows he face. | ||

Of note from the first few pages: 1) I read through that Moology/Parnassus fight earlier in the game and my eyes glazed over before I could finish it. Good discussion generator, but overall a silly fight over non-allignment indicative stuffs. Both seem townie based on how they handled it anyway. 2) "Casting Golem" or whoever is annoying, and not in a townie way. Summary stuff has been mentioned previously. However, a lot of his "analytical" posts are based around discrediting others rather than hunting for scum. He has his vote parked on Moology... http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=402039¤tpage=10#191 ...then makes this giant post about how FiveTouch has a "vote first ask questions later policy"... http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=402039¤tpage=11#205 However in that post on Fivetouch, there's no mention of suspicion, no mentions of reads, no mention of pretty much anything. It looks like simple criticism and is scummy. Looks like my buddy iamp has our vote parked on him for now, and I have no objections. 3) Regarding "Promato" - one post caught my eye: Yamato coming back shoudl have nothing to do with how frequently Prome decides to post. Prome is never shy about posting as town, and this comment makes very little sense with his town mentality. ~Hapa its a free time issue. Yam promised to carry and he hasn't shown up. I haven't heard from him in three days and I do not have the time for two games. As I said in pre. Why shed doubt on me without calling me scum for it though? My activity is going to be shit this game espesially if its only me playing. So you better judge me on my posts. | ||

So I'll wait for yamato do do his thing then. that would make more sense but it isn't the case. I seriously don't have any time to devote to this game. I've read the thread once as it goes. I need Yamato to be here to carry me, my pregame plan was to not post and just sit in the qt with Yamato and make him do the leg work and I haven't had the chance. Preliminary reads: I like throats, this feels like a genuine attack on me from thrawn that I usuallyonly see with his town play. I was worried because of the moc/oats tunnel but being mature enough to let it go is points in my book. He is upgraded to an early green. Five I'm worried about. marv's attacks on Dirk are a little weird, sure Dirk needs to stop trolling but that is why he should have votes. marv making an issue out of the contradiction was silly since bugs was clearly fucking around offering to hammer in a plurality deadline lynch game. marv is suspicious to me but, and I stress this, not enough to kill yet. I also hate people who defend me. Golems are a little strange. While I like both soniv and WoS neither one strikes me as a power player. their decision to simply commentate with a few snide comments tossed in is actually a decent contribution for them. I don't have trouble following their thoughts although their posts do annoy the crap out of me. The Dirk trolling remains the most suspicious thing in the thread on first read through(sadly enough). I don't like the other reasons marv has given for voting him but marv is telling the truth about Bugs scum meta (or has been setting up this ploy for months since I'm pretty sure he mentioned it during YAN) Adarfs is probably my follow up if Dirk turns into a useful man beast. Both Adam and Snarfs are good and, well, I'm not seeing it. Intro post was lacking and follow up has been none-existent. Lurker lyncch, but one I'd be willing to say has decentish odds of flipping scum. anyway, fuck Yamato. I'll try to be useful. Hopefully when he shows up eventually he'll play the game like he promised. | ||

Ill give you my thoughts in an hour or two. Adam. I really consider this a scum claim from Adam. Maybe he really is burnt out, but town Adam is almost always loud about the lynch and has opinions. Scum Adam does nothing. This looks like scum Adam. As Marv said, this hydra is insanely easy to catch and I'm not surprised their collective effort is so small. Palmar/Bugs are both trollish players as either alignment, but I agree with Marv's sentiment that a total troll bugs is a mafia one, because town Bugs does try, and can be a very positive influence on town, minus the insults and complaining. Palmar is known to give zero fucks as any alignment, so trying to read his head of the hydra is less meaningful than picking apart what Bugs is doing, which is not scumhunting. Also, I'm looking at Moology right now. Something I can't explain feels off about Mocsta. Too much text formatting or something. | ||

Basically you've been working super hard to discredit us by soft-accusing us repeatedly and blowing hot air up everyone's ass, but haven't done jack shit about it. Keir, I love you and all but shut up. I don't care that you find your other head town. Can you do me a favour and look for scum. Your hard defense with no scum hunting is way scummier than marv's early game (not calling you scum, just a reminder to scum hunt) I said earlier I had no problem with the golems and one of you mentioned that I was okay with trolling or something. That wasn't it at all, I just feel like in their role play I can genuinely follow their thoughts so I don't mind it. And as VE said its kinda cute. | ||

He's "contributing" without actually doing anything. That's not gonna fly, and I'll keep pressuring him until he gives me a reason not to. [b]Of course I find my "other half" town because he shares my alignment. What a stupid statement. None of us in this game are separate entities. Yea, every individual player is accountable not only for his actions, but those of his partner too. I am marv, marv is me. Just like you == yamato. that is my point. Stop giving us meta reads on yourself and hunt scum, if you think it is moc show me why. goodnight. | ||

Fuck I wish I was grush so I could at least STARSENSES to clear myself because you should be looking at me/yam. We haven't done anything or contributed much more than squat. My goal is to not waste a lynch on us pretty much. Anyway I need to go study to not fail this exam. Sorry. | ||
