While Nydus has played with him before and says this behavior is alignment-null, he's instigating the scumhunting that town sorely needs early D1. As a result, I would peg him as town (or at least, a non-viable D1 lynch). That being said, I don't agree with any of the early lynch candidates thus far (as in, I don't have a strong enough read on any of them currently), and would rather lynch a lurker at this point in time. That includes scott, because his post was pretty much a non-response. Of Cats or meatpudding, if I had to choose a D1 lynch atm, I'd vote meatpudding solely based on thread contribution. My general impression of mafia players in my limited experience is that they work to distance themselves as much as possible. I personally do not read too much into it atm; without a flip it's speculation. Lord tolkien, this is the wrong way to approach forum mafia. In forum mafia, you lynch for scum ONLY, not for information/clearing lurkers/usefulness to town. We usually clear lurkers with cops and people useful to town will die quick to mafia anyway. I have a feeling you knew this. Coupled with how you wanted to go with meatpudding but went with scott just for a wagon, you're playing really scummy. ##Vote: lord tolkien | ||

Edit: I didn't read Tolkien's post entirely. He says that he'd rather lynch a lurker… which, since there is no solid scum read day 1, is acceptable. Note he also went for scott instead of someone that didn't post (pointless response is worse than no response in this case)… which is why I think tolkien thinks he could easily be scum. | ||

By his logic of lynching lurkers based on town contribution, it is infinitely better to post something over nothing. I felt that tolkien voted for convenience, which is usually a scumtell. I usually do not scumhunt d1 but tolkien. .. oh boy. | ||

They have done nothing suspicious yet, while scott has. Scott may be a convenience for Tolkien, explaining his sudden appearance and lynch vote. It is more likely that you haven't read most of Tolkien's posts. On June 22 2014 08:27 Lord Tolkien wrote: Teemu has however been the main driver of the conversation. More (relevant) posts=good for town. It's my initial impression from someone who hasn't played with him, but he's as solid of a read as I have currently. Scott's post about modkilling (just saw that) continues the trend of non-contribution, yes. On June 22 2014 09:27 Lord Tolkien wrote: It isn't and I agree; however it is indicative to how useful they'll be to contributing to town, and I'd rather get a lurker lynch out of the way now in a newbie game, than later. If someone actively posts, it's easier to judge alignment, and gives town something to go with. If I am convinced of a player's scumminess I'll vote for him, but at present I don't feel enough of it atm. I do agree with you broadly, just I'd rather get a serious non-contributor out of the way, and a lurker lynch policy for a newbie game is decent incentive for newbie townies to NOT lurk, and post (which is the only way we can judge people: no/little/non-informative posts=bad for town). If people don't post they'll get mod-killed anyways, but still, low-info posts don't help town. At this point, based on current posts, I'd vote on Scott. No opinions on anyone excepting pointing out that we had lurkers, and the rest are just sheeple nods. Hasn't added anything to the thread, just posts to make himself appear active. Cut some unimportant parts of the last post out. He explained pretty thoroughly why he's doing what he's doing. Yeah, it's important to post something over nothing, but Scott hasn't actually posted anything.

And… he hasn't done any more. That will continue, whether he's mafia or town, most likely; therefore, he's pretty useless. | ||

It's alright if both you and tolkien is okay with lynching unproductive lurkers. I'll just propose an alternative tolkien wagon. | ||

Coupled with how you wanted to go with meatpudding but went with scott just for a wagon, you're playing really scummy. ##Vote: lord tolkien If you have a solid scum read, ABSOLUTELY. Put together a case, and get them lynched, there is no excuse not to if you're town. However, absent any serious push onto a person, there's nothing to go on. You can't put together a case WITHOUT people talking and posting. If no one talks, or just makes useless posts=no one can put together a case or get good reads=useless day lynches=mafia wins with night kills. There was plenty to talk about (and there's even more to talk about now, ty HaruRH). As I noted previously, I didn't have a solid read for scum thus far into Day 1. Templar did actually explain my reasoning for starting the bandwagon on Scott, but to clarify a point: I wrote specifically that meatpudding was my, at the time, preferential bandwagon due to contribution (aka fairly minimal; he asked a person for their opinions and that's it); I noted I did not have any solid scum reads. After seeing Scott's next post (just a random agreement post, does nothing for town), I mulled it over and revised my opinion on who I would prefer to lynch first. I am perfectly willing to change my vote from Scott, as we have plenty of time during the day for him to prove he's 1) not scum and able to contribute, 2) for a a credible scum case and bandwagon to be put forward. Absent either of that, I'm leaving my vote here for now. As for Epishade and the others who HAVEN'T posted a single thing, they're either getting modkilled, or have no choice but to post and vote. Again, I can change my vote last minute, but town seriously needs to TALK MOAR. Which your push onto me should leave no excuses for. So ty, this is all I ask for atm. | ||

Scum-hunting isn't essential on day 1; I think it's more of a developing point in the game but that's just my two cents. I don't like Scott's posts very much. It's where I am the strongest in my town play. Anyway, Cats is finally asking some better questions, so I am moving my focus on ## VOTE Meatpudding I'm not sure about the Scott bandwagon, but pressuring him is not a bad idea. | ||

Until then, see if any more lurkers post. I'm not definitely sure if any posters are genuine town either. Anyone could be anomaly at this point. @Teemu, what is your read on Templar, now that he has posted more? I'll quickly read his filter whenever I die/during nightphase in video mafia. I'll get back to you soon. | ||

I'll have a lot more time to spend tomorrow when I get back home. I got about 2 hours now that I'll spend reading through the thread and bringing up anything I see that stands out to me I guess. As for introduction, Behold, it is I, Epishade, keeper of nights, savior of world, and browser of naked ladies! This is my 2.5th mafia game. Many of you (only Meat) should remember me from my first mafia game, where I won the game for town by slaying the last mafia member in a bout of intense bravery and courage! I also played briefly in a second mafia game where it had to be restarted after Squirt ruined it by asking about coaches a day after the game started. I was mafia in that game, and was quite upset because I was being read as town early on. I /outed after the reset, so I don't consider that a real game. Anyways, I'll start reading through and I'll try to come up with some reads. Sorry for not being able to post earlier again. | ||

Although I agree with Tolkien he does not make for a good day one lynch. He is playing as if a townie, and at least as long as he is not trying to derail the scum hunt, then he is useful to town. I would be critical of what he is saying for the time being. If I am right and Teemu is scum, then surely they would want to get rid of me so they could continue blending in with town. If they hit me during the night that would be a huge tell. Why else would I be a mafia target unless I was onto them? If mafia wanted rid of me, it would be much less suspicious if they had me lynched. One thing is for sure, not everyone who jumps on the meatpudding wagon is scum, and not all scum are going to jump on the wagon (too obvious). @Haru I would like to hear your opinion on this as well. Are you leaning for Teemu being town. Do you have any scum reads at this point? | ||
