Scott,

Is it safe to say your preferred lynch order would be:

The Shining
-Celestial-
Silverarte

?


Unless Shining and Silverarte step up to the plate today, Yes.

Scott, I realise you were late to the party when all the ruckus was about with Celestial.

Do you understand the game mechanics as to why Celestial is not a viable lynch today?

CASE STUDY: WHY THE SHINING IS MAFIA


Introduction

This is largely Rasputin's case folks, in terms of ideas and original thought. I have pulled the relevant quotes and/or given references for complete support. I have also added commentary and a few additional points on my own.

From her passage N3, in her own words:

On January 11 2015 08:59 rsoultin wrote:
[...]
- Shining (70% certain) for his start that I think I've mentioned a few times now, but also this oddity of completely dropping any pressure on ExO after WW flipped for no apparent reason...even goes so far as to say that there might be scum on the LS wagon but still gives ExO a bye when the only other one there was WW, says he's taking the game seriously after Day 2 but mostly just posts defensive posts and a push on -Celestial-, then finally ends with his only post of Night 2: a WIFOM game balance argument that Celeste must be scum cause this game can't possibly have a doctor (why when we don't know the set-up at all?)
[...]


Pulling the argument piece by piece

Relevant quotes from the filter:

1 "for his start that I think I've mentioned a few times now"

On January 05 2015 10:44 The Shining wrote:
On the other hand, Soultin has already let it go and is now moved on to Silver. How am I to know you're not just going to question every one of us in the hopes of a slip or something that gives away a role?


The above comment, to be fair, TS has responded to this. But I believe she might have been taking this in aggregate with everything else. I had called him out on the first part of the second sentence myself. Regarding the second part, we obviously know that she is town, and even I had not seen any evidence of bluehunting, which I questioned myself.

2 "but also this oddity of completely dropping any pressure on ExO after WW flipped for no apparent reason...even goes so far as to say that there might be scum on the LS wagon but still gives ExO a bye when the only other one there was WW"

On January 07 2015 08:29 The Shining wrote:
[...]
I need WW to elaborate on his claim before I can believe him but I also can not in good conscience vote to lynch. LS was leaning scum with the "let's all be town" theories until he provided examples of his town meta. That, along with ExO voting to kill LS but still "being ok with the WW lynch", shows me that ExO doesn't care who dies. And if ExO thinks someone should die, they probably shouldn't, I won't vote with him.

##Vote: ExO_


Post flip:

On January 08 2015 07:31 The Shining wrote:
I have already explained my train of thought on ExO. Let's remember that ExO had WW as a scumread, as well. Where's he been since the flip?


Rasputin has a point with this. I see no visible logic for shifting off ExO in the filter. In fact there was no comment on his thought on ExO since the comment copied above.

On January 08 2015 09:52 The Shining wrote:
Also, Mafia like to throw away votes once the main lynch is secured. WW's wagon caught momentum fast. This leaves the LS wagon, which only has WW and ExO, a blue role and a guy who I'm still unsure about but might be willing to give him benefit of the doubt. [...]


3 "says he's taking the game seriously after Day 2 but mostly just posts defensive posts and a push on -Celestial-"

On January 08 2015 12:03 The Shining wrote:
I can see where that would be an issue for you, the lying and being consistent but that's why I'm taking D2 now so seriously. Think on me as long as you need to and ask me anything you need to. You'll see, especially with my last few posts, that all I'm trying to do is help town.


The defensive posts are taking questions for the most part, and that can be vouched for on page 2. Same for the push on Celestial. To me, the push on Celestial in of itself isn't scum like behaviour but lack of reads, and progression and scumhunting etc is what might have been the issue. As in, he is not helping town.

4 then finally ends with his only post of Night 2: a WIFOM game balance argument that Celeste must be scum cause this game can't possibly have a doctor (why when we don't know the set-up at all?)

On January 10 2015 12:51 The Shining wrote:
Okay guys, look. It is impossible for there to be a doc and a vet in a newbie game, or really any normal mini game. The idea of a vet and doc in the game breaks the balance in Town's favor. Mafia night one would have a 2/9 CHANCE of not having their shot count. After they hit vet their shot could still be blocked by doc putting them into an unwinnable situation. So just balance-wise, it's impossible to have both a doc and vet.

Also, the way Celestial claimed doc is very scum-favored. It diverts a lynch without having to prove anything. There was no hinting or bread crumbing, or even pushing another lynch(why would you? You knew the other wagon was town). This is an open game and Doc is the easiest thing to claim to save yourself from a lynch. Add this to the fact that our vet already flipped and it leads me to believe that there IS no doc.

Celestial HAS to be the lynch tomorrow.


If I'm understanding #2 correctly, there is an inconsistency in following why Shining exempts one of the smaller wagons but not another. Which I can see a double standard as problematic.

To add my input to #4, the problem I have with this is not only that it's WIFOM but upon review, Celestial actually showed some of the signs of breadcrumbing. From my interpretation of Celestial's filter, relevant quotes are below, operative words in bold.

I have before maintained that it is very possible to do this using an example I gave to Tubesock from the Carol game. In a newbie game, I would say the chances are more likely.

On January 07 2015 01:43 -Celestial- wrote:
I think I'm still somewhat tainted by rsoultin's original impression on me. I really, really didn't like what appeared to be bluehunting (the reasoning for which I posted a little while back, I can quote it if you like). Though she has improved somewhat since that I'm still wary.


On January 07 2015 23:17 -Celestial- wrote:
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt for now despite all of this because I have my own suspicions on Shining and if you're going that angle I'd quite like to see your full impressions of him over D2. Assuming I even survive the night. But if we do lynch Shining D2 his flip is going to be very, very interesting.


Another point I want to add is that scum posting tend to fall off towards late game. This is a general statement admittedly, and by itself isn't indicative, as people can lurk all game, but when taken into consideration with other evidence, could be a further issue. The fact he said he'd step it up and didn't is a problem.

Finally, when you throw in Scott's individual point about voting on unflipped association (which I've reviewed separately), it does make him look even worse.

Feedback from anyone at this point would be appreciated.

On aggregate, I feel he is, indeed, a viable lynch.

Yes. And that we have had to entertain the possibility that scum, if they have an RB, would leave him alive and just neutralise him whilst going for more prime targets, with the next day, trying to make him an easy lynch in mylo today simply because he didn't die.

Therefore the plan is to not lynch him and keep him aside until all townies are confirmed of those left.

(Sorry for the delay, I just posted the case against Shining)

Rasputin's case v Shining has been compiled and posted. I need thoughts, I need feedback/defences, and questions if any.

We need to put it out there folks. We are in mylo (that's mislynch and lose for the new players) everyone, all town hands on deck.

We need to put our heads together and sort this out.

I will continue to review more material on ExO, plus my own scumreads after dinner.

As far as Rsoultin goes: Oi woman! ><!!!

And towny words or not, Tubesock, I think it's time I probably claim with checks considering it's Mylo/Lylo (whatever it is). I'm the Cop.

My checks were on Tubesock and ExO_, both clearing as town.

The two checks are, I believe, solid. Tubesock has been continually contributing and consisitently. ExO_, unless he's the godfather, is also clear. My spidey senses say and hope he isn't! My checks said town after all!
It's said Celestial isn't a viable good push today, I question that. In a game of newbies, how unbalanced would it be if we had a veteran, doc AND cop on the towne side? Rsoultin herself pointed out how scummy Celest's claim on being a doc. Shining is definitely an option, but Celestial still reeks of scum to me.

On January 09 2015 14:53 rsoultin wrote:
Okay...

I won't lynch the following tomorrow under any circumstances:
HTS
ExO (lesser town read, but still a town read)

Those I would prefer not to lynch from strongest to weakest:
JarJar (despite the OMGUS moment at his case, was consistent on his reads leading up to the lynch, and voted sensibly)
Tubesock (appeared tunneled, took responsibility afterwards, solid posting before and after)
Silver (complete null)
Shining (suspicious, don't like the lying, but his defense was otherwise convincing and he's improved in Day 2. willing to give him more time)
Gumdrop (suspicious, but he hasn't posted hardly at all. the only thing that doesn't make this a policy lynch is the point I asked him to clarify on EoD...and I'd like to see his answer before lynching him)

On to lynchables:

LS - <3 you, dude, but I think you're a solid lynch
+ all actives you townread (with the exception of shining at null), and all inactives you null read (scum WW as "worst inactive") - thanks to ExO (I think) for turning me on to this gem
+ only reaction to WWs soft claim was to ask him to claim
+ sudden rage after flip and saying you tunneled him...where? your reads put him as basically the worst of your nulls
+ meta point: afraid of lynching blues in all prior games

-Celestial- - not personal either, but you're my top choice
+ all three lynchwagons were scumread by you in your last Day 1 list post, with waffling back and forth on LS afterwards
+ kept saying WW lynch felt wrong, yet reacted to blue claim saying it wasn't enough to convince "us" (weren't you already convinced given your posts?)
+ more about WW lynch feeling wrong, but did nothing about it i.e. tried to get others to vote JarJar with you or change your vote to other two scumreads LS and Shining
+ lesser point, but you never mention my static vote on WW despite Shining case until I question you...why didn't it come up before in your WW lynch feels wrong posts?

Will place the vote here tomorrow morning, all things remaining equal. If anyone wants links to the posts behind those points, please ask. (Was going for readability.)



These are great defense posts supporting a lot of Soultin said. As for myself, in a later post I wrote that:
-Celestial was inconsistent with what he's saying. ExO did a great job of pointing that out.
-What substance was there til Tube insisted on something? And then look it who came up first. Shining, then Rsoultin (who flipped town).
And a more recent one I've been considering:
-What's the best way to save your rear in this game when everyone's voting you? Claim a power role!

TLDR version:
-If I'm cop and we flipped the vet, why would we have a doc?
-My checks are supported by other's posting.
-It was clear that town (Tube, Rsoultin, so on) weren't going to mislynch Celestial today by their posting last night. Why did the mafia leave him alive?

(thoughts on Shining to come!)

Silverarte, balance is speculative. Rasputin and Tubesock have already made that point actually.

This is an open setup. An open setup means that you don't know how much of the roles are guaranteed or if there are at all.

This is a newbie game, but newbie games have coaches, and Tube already has some sort of meta read on Sicklucker which actually makes sense.

1 Scum can RB the medic, effectively neutralising him
2 Because the medic is alive, people will assume to lynch him.


We are in mylo, mislynch or lose. This means that scum only need us to mislynch once and we lose the game.

Guess who is the easiest mislynch and the easiest route to victory for scum?

If you are looking at balance, you also need to consider the scum roles in the setup, and mafia need some sort of disabler at the very least. No scum have flipped. If the roleblocker was gone, then the argument is completely valid and Celestial would be the lynch.

If Mafia RB Celestial, that actually makes it easier for them to push a mislynch on him. That is why the best option is to actually leave him alone until either two scum have flipped or the rest are effectively town.

As you say, this is a newbie game, but Tubesock made the argument that there are coaches, and we don't know what parts of the game here have been coached.

I don't dispute your checks, Silverarte, and I'm glad you claimed in mylo, that clears a few names for sure. We just need to be very careful and scum I think are relying on people to immediately dispose of Celestial.

These are the quotes to support what I have just said:

On January 10 2015 17:32 Tubesock wrote:
I want to push mafia to night kill celetial tonight. Why the fuck would I want that?

The world I see, the play I would make IF and only IF mafia has a roleblocker AND it's obvious town WILL LYNCH Celestial I would not waste my night kill on Celestial. Sicklucker is a smart crafty bastard. If he has those two conditions (which he easily could) why nk Celestial? The doc gets save blocked at 100% chance to succeed due to guaranteed roleblock. WIFOM us with a vegi who kills the roleblocker (low fucking odds).

They gain another free kill, and town gains 0 information. Let's prevent that play. It's easy and risk free. He lives to daytime, you bet your ass he dies that day. Or do you? Do you? Do I?

Just "claim" you won't lynch Celestial. I totally won't. Or will I?

Tin foil hat people. Tin fucking foil hat.


On January 11 2015 06:36 rsoultin wrote:
Lol, I'm less certain about Celestial than I was. I want to call him scum so bad, because I think his town play was crap if he was town...sorry, I should probably be nicer about it, but, eh...I do think he actually breadcrumbed (advertently or inadvertently) his role to some extent if he was doctor.

For instance, he was super concerned about being NKd, kept going on about it. The concern about bluehunting in the beginning I think was over the top, unless he was concerned because he had a blue role and so was paranoid about it. And then there's how his discussion of the NKs was so doctor focused. He kept going back to players who were likely to be doc saves being the explanation for why Trfel (not a likely doc save) was killed.

To me that seems that if he was scum at the very least his mind was on what the doctor was doing, or he was deliberately trying to breadcrumb. I think there's way too much doubt without a CC and the breadcrumbing to justify a Celestial lynch unless you're down to the last scum and are sold on everyone else being town.

Final Comment: With the breadcrumbing, I think that Celestial is a likely mislynch. Please, if I am not here to provide my input, whatever you decide, be really certain before you lynch an un-CCd role.

And towny words or not, Tubesock, I think it's time I probably claim with checks considering it's Mylo/Lylo (whatever it is). I'm the Cop.

My checks were on Tubesock and ExO_, both clearing as town.

The two checks are, I believe, solid. Tubesock has been continually contributing and consisitently. ExO_, unless he's the godfather, is also clear. My spidey senses say and hope he isn't! My checks said town after all!
+ Show Spoiler +

It's said Celestial isn't a viable good push today, I question that. In a game of newbies, how unbalanced would it be if we had a veteran, doc AND cop on the towne side? Rsoultin herself pointed out how scummy Celest's claim on being a doc. Shining is definitely an option, but Celestial still reeks of scum to me.

Okay...

I won't lynch the following tomorrow under any circumstances:
HTS
ExO (lesser town read, but still a town read)

Those I would prefer not to lynch from strongest to weakest:
JarJar (despite the OMGUS moment at his case, was consistent on his reads leading up to the lynch, and voted sensibly)
Tubesock (appeared tunneled, took responsibility afterwards, solid posting before and after)
Silver (complete null)
Shining (suspicious, don't like the lying, but his defense was otherwise convincing and he's improved in Day 2. willing to give him more time)
Gumdrop (suspicious, but he hasn't posted hardly at all. the only thing that doesn't make this a policy lynch is the point I asked him to clarify on EoD...and I'd like to see his answer before lynching him)

On to lynchables:

LS - <3 you, dude, but I think you're a solid lynch
+ all actives you townread (with the exception of shining at null), and all inactives you null read (scum WW as "worst inactive") - thanks to ExO (I think) for turning me on to this gem
+ only reaction to WWs soft claim was to ask him to claim
+ sudden rage after flip and saying you tunneled him...where? your reads put him as basically the worst of your nulls
+ meta point: afraid of lynching blues in all prior games

-Celestial- - not personal either, but you're my top choice
+ all three lynchwagons were scumread by you in your last Day 1 list post, with waffling back and forth on LS afterwards
+ kept saying WW lynch felt wrong, yet reacted to blue claim saying it wasn't enough to convince "us" (weren't you already convinced given your posts?)
+ more about WW lynch feeling wrong, but did nothing about it i.e. tried to get others to vote JarJar with you or change your vote to other two scumreads LS and Shining
+ lesser point, but you never mention my static vote on WW despite Shining case until I question you...why didn't it come up before in your WW lynch feels wrong posts?

Will place the vote here tomorrow morning, all things remaining equal. If anyone wants links to the posts behind those points, please ask. (Was going for readability.)



These are great defense posts supporting a lot of Soultin said. As for myself, in a later post I wrote that:
-Celestial was inconsistent with what he's saying. ExO did a great job of pointing that out.
-What substance was there til Tube insisted on something? And then look it who came up first. Shining, then Rsoultin (who flipped town).
And a more recent one I've been considering:
-What's the best way to save your rear in this game when everyone's voting you? Claim a power role!

TLDR version:
-If I'm cop and we flipped the vet, why would we have a doc?
-My checks are supported by other's posting.
-It was clear that town (Tube, Rsoultin, so on) weren't going to mislynch Celestial today by their posting last night. Why did the mafia leave him alive?

(thoughts on Shining to come!)


Silver, can you explain your reasoning for checking Tubesock and Exo? Which day did you check each?

Tube has been really towny since the start IMO - Why not JJB?

I need to rethink things yet again.

If everyone is willing to lynch Shining, that makes me scared. He is either really bad or just not scared about talking about his end of day 1 voting panic and other mistakes. First it was, Tube tunnel was strong and then it was to save himself and then it was back to strong or whatever. If it were me, it would be both really. I'd be scared to die, AND thought the claim was fake. But I was in the tunnel so...

His post here:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/474146-newbie-mini-mafia-lx?page=31#608

He explains himself a bit. One of the things we tried defending LS for is his fearlessness in posting. Well, Shining also does that. I understand his I'm not moving from LS vote. There wasn't a world where LS looked town in any capacity. I still think I was the only one to defend him and I just ran out of energy. The only GOOD argument that he was town was that it was 9-1 or whatever the vote was. And I didn't even see that. I would have WIFOM'd it away anyway.

Shining was scummed for his weak case on LS. Well, all of us should get scum for that. He was also scummed for saying he probably won't leave either, but NO ONE gave a good reason to leave. Shining also scummed Celestial and shining even though he didn't move his vote to Celestial he still helped push. Why would he change right away? I mean I think it's pretty obvious that if you are the target of TubesockJihad you are not getting out of it easily.

I looked at just the timestamps of his posts. EoD is at 1500 for me. Much (not all but most) his posts were from 1400 - 1900 my time. There were outliers but it seemed like a pattern. Celestial's claim was outside this posting time pattern and I didn't really think that the celest wagon really took off till after Shining was posting. the Celestial had 2 votes till about 5am my time when Rsoultin and then Silver usually check in in the morning. Celestial claimed at 7:02 (well that's when I unvoted him due to the claim which I was there for).

Shining was also scummed for using meta somewhere. Well, everyone in this game is guilty of that. Not everyone can be scum.

The shining has been on constant lynch pressure since Day 1. Everyone is posting big cases on him that well are not getting me excited. Which I would think I would be.

Well we're still waiting on some of the others to respond. There are three scum here, and I'm still waiting for JJB to get back to me on things.

Maybe JJB needs some motivation.

Vote Jarjar.

To be fair, I think he's a viable candidate...is he the best candidate? That's a different question. I did disagree with some of the points in Scott's case, but Rasputin's points I thought were much more detailed and lined up with what I looked through. That said, there are three scum, so the hunting does not stop after today.

Shining was scummed for his weak case on LS. Well, all of us should get scum for that.


It is true that most of us were on LS D2. I think what differentiates Shining is the reasoning he voted LS and the steps he took to do so. Some people went to further lengths to make sure he was or wasn't scum, and ExO did that, and so did I. Usually the argument is that scum won't question as much, and that's where Rasputin was talking about making sure that people are or are not scumhunting. Using unflipped association shows he didn't do the work before voting LS.

The differentiation comes down to not so much THAT you were wrong, it's WHY you were wrong.

Shining was also scummed for using meta somewhere. Well, everyone in this game is guilty of that. Not everyone can be scum.


I disagreed with the meta point as well.

EBWOP - I believe Rasputin also mentioned that whilst Shining IS new to the site, he's not new to mafia.

I agree he isn't new. He's still on the table for me (shining).

Post game, I'm screaming at the inactive towns.
