When you do that can I say you're mafia because Day 1 is actually a crapshoot and nobody should bother trying? That seems to be a popular wave of thought whenever I try to say stuff on first days I'll probably be at work when the game starts and miss all the great and grand debates about RNGs and lynching lurkers. What a bummer. | ||

I believe strongly in Lynch All Liars. If you are town and thinking about fake claiming or something to pull off some kind of sick trick, don't do it. I hate that more than anything. I will also more or less ignore every single "town" plan involving mass claims, trying to rig/game the setup, it's way too hard to get everyone on the same page and it has never ever worked in my experience. I usually only glance through setups, terrible with numbers and I just don't approach mafia in that way at all. I don't care about what roles are in this game etc. If you are the type of player who likes to heavily analyze the setup, roles, stats, numbers, whatever that's fine but it will wash right over me so don't flip your lid and tunnel me for being sloppy with that kind of stuff. How does everyone feel about lurking players? Lower than expected activity can indicate blue just as much as scum. I like when DTs focus their checks on the lurkers rather than players who are active. There isn't a great in thread way to deal with lurkers. If I analyse lurkers post history at all, I usually wait until Day 2 or 3, that's enough time for the people who are lurking for a reason to make themselves more apparent I think. | ||

I guess I like Doc as town for now I think a town meta that sticks to LAL makes it much harder for mafia to maneuver in general. If people start letting town lies slide I feel way less pressured as scum and immediately start thinking of how I could abuse fake claims. A town that clinches down on that sort of thing would make me nervous. I dont usually support policy lynches but anyone caught in a lie deserves intense scrutiny and questioning imo | ||

Seems like you take everything literally, we're gonna have problems if you waste your time with shit like this. | ||

Ov course , in the timeframe of a single game it doesn't mean anything. I'm just talking general meta and from when I did most of my playing (a while ago) it was v eady to get away with fakeclaims as scum (ive been scum many times and done it myself many times) or set up weird vuses (buses) in themed games and sfuff (stuff). When towns in general are lax about that stuff (as i have once known them to be) i don't worry so much if i roll scum. Townies who lie just throw a wrench into everything by creatinf (creatinf /€ fuck) we Creating mislynch opportunities. Sorry for the typos amd weird formatting. Did it again. Can't backspace on my mobile for some reason, really abboying annoying seeing as I have enormous thumbs. | ||

I agree that its scummy to throw a case like that down. It seemed like he had a template for a day 1 scum read but he jist changed it to "towny" at the end. In a way there is a subtext od of "i think youre town for acting like scum" which is the kind of mistake made vy by mafia who are scared to really push but just wanna thro doubt and ruin crefibility. Its not that serious or insidious and i think he should just clarify his reasoning, but its a syart syartstart . Fucking start. | ||

I'm not sure what my post has to do with Eden. I think eden is town, I don't know. It's hard for me to read this kind of guy. @Eden - I'm not much good at anything besides reading in between the lines and bullying (apprentice of Ace style), but when I start to see the things I understand and that jump out of me I really stick to it. I do think you're town and that since you seem to be pretty diligent and detailed I feel good about what you might be able to add or pick out of my cases later. I'm actually pissed I didn't roll scum in this game. I started playing mafia as scum in like 8 straight games and then really got it again. I do look at meta if I'm really suspicious of someone or can't figure out their behavior. It's too much of a pain in the ass to do if I'm not gonna really make use of it On December 31 2014 16:10 sicklucker wrote: Its weird because its either a. scummy because of why I just said b. A way to find a town for people who have played with him alot and know he does this. Can we kill ritoky so far hes attacked doctor and missed the sarcasm and now this. I've seen this guy before. He's either scum or believes that playing balls to the wall aggressive is the best way to make people sweat and maybe that's how he gets his reads. I'm cool with that if that's the case as long as he doesn't really try to push some bullshit like that "scum claim". TBH my policy on scum claiming is if I see a post that accuses someone of claiming scum I ignore it. I've only ever seen that phrase in kneejerk posts pretty much | ||
