That's a different sort of ninja from what I've seen in use elsewhere. In games I've played with ninjas they could not be tracked or watched.

Xzavier have you played mafia elsewhere? 16 posts, and that's a whole lot of gamestart theory you've got going there.

I've played on a few other sites.

No i haven't played anywhere else, iv played IRL a little bit, but mostly its from spending over the last 3 days like 4 hours reading all the guides on TL and listening to one of the podcasts, all of it was super intriguing and useful. but this is my first game of forum mafia.


ah, ok. good to know.

I don't usually make plans to find scum. I'm more about reads (weighing up posts and determining whether they seem to come from a town win condition) than about strategy. I read the game posts and something eventually strikes me as scummy, and off I go.

Speaking of off I go, I'm about to hit the freeway. Will check back in when I'm home and settled.

No lynch means no chance of removing scum during the day cycle. And it means less information about bandwagons to analyze. I don't support no lynch in the early game. There are situations where no lynch makes sense near endgame.

Lynching lurkers isn't a strategy that I really like in a noobie game. What we'll find is that some people just signed up and fucked off, regardless of alignment. Or people who vastly underestimated the amount of time/effort they'd need to put in.

Having said that, I won't be nailed down and if I feel a lurker is scum I'll vote them in a second and you all will be like "Aww Vlosk said he doesn't like lynching lurkers in noob games!"


I'm more of the opinion that we should pressure lurkers, and once they start posting ease off on them. Lynching a lurker D1 is almost always a townie, especially in a newbie game.

Saying that your votes on lurkers will be pressure votes, and telling them what they need to do for you to ease off pretty much neutralizes any pressure you might otherwise be able to muster.

I was at first to. but the more he posts the less pro-town he gets. he could b the fucking SK for all i know.

Some scum players play aggressively. I'm really not seeing the gain for scum (or sk) in drawing early attention, pushing for reactions, etc.

On the other hand, pushing players for reactions is something town players should want to do.

In a regular game I'd be looking around to see who stopped posting when the brouhaha started. In a newbie game, not so much. Scum players sometimes feel uncertain when the game thread suddenly takes off or changes direction, and wait to see where town players go with things before jumping back in.

Will there be a separate voting thread for this game or do we vote only in the game thread?

All this earnestness is very touching. I'm firming up some more reads, I think.

Tell us what you think so far, I will start writing my list.

Most of what I'm seeing so far looks town-on-town.

And I see trepidation about how serious early votes are, which looks pretty newb to me. Everybody in the game could vote the same player in this next hour and it might not mean a thing in terms of who eventually gets lynched.

iVLosK! is provoking lots of reactions and that is good. It gives other players stuff to think about and analyze about every player involved, not just iVLosK!.

You are right, to a degree. You're in the smart kids club, so we can talk about this. There is always value in establishing your innocence, if you're town.

Though sometimes, a little pressure has it's uses.

Indeed. My motivations usually speak for themselves, whatever my alignment. It works out pretty well when I'm town.

I agree that iV provoking votes is good, I disagree that it's town on town, assuming iV is included in the town.
it's giving us stuff to think about, but is it the correct stuff to think about? It wouldn't have taken much to settle the at the beginning minor accusation. If he did diffuse it, town could be doing OTHER productive things.
I wish he'd diffused it, I really do. I think everyone else getting involved in the discussion around iV is town except for iV, who hasn't actually given me a fucking reason to think he's town.

If he'd diffused it, then I probably wouldn't have any town reads in my hip pocket right now. And I'd be suspicious as fuck of him for trying to smooth things over.
