@Kickstart thoughts on Wherebugsgo attacking FreezingFoot for being a smurf?
Being a smurf is not alignment indicative.
refusing to divulge relevant information sure is!
identity is a large part of mafia.
So do you think someone that has chosen to smurf is more likely to reveal who they are as town or mafia then?
I think they would be more likely to reveal themselves as town.
Granted, a smurf does not have to reveal themselves to be useful to town. I have smurfed myself, and the reason I do it is often quite simple-most people don't ask, and those who do can be placated by providing opinions and good reads. I have never had the luxury of rolling scum while smurfing, but if I ever did I do not doubt it would be one of the easiest ways to achieve victory.
It is plainly obvious why smurfing is far more advantageous to the individual player than the team as a whole. The town only benefits if the player who is smurfing is a high caliber town player, rolls town, and escapes getting shot night 1 due to being a smurf. Otherwise, town stands to gain nothing from a mediocre townie or a bad townie smurfing other than a lack of insight into the player's behaviour.
You should always hold smurfs to a higher standard because if they refuse to reveal their identity then you have no background to be working with. You have no expectation of their play, and an ordinarily good townie has rolled scum on a smurf you have no way of knowing.
This seems to be the crux of his argument that he repeats constantly and is honestly quite flawed. First of all, a smurf is just a player in the game. The smurf's identity CAN become a factor if it is slipped out or if someone successfully guesses their identity as it becomes more obvious, but at the beginning of a game and without any reason at all to suspect them, WBG seems fixated on this idea that not claiming your identity as a smurf makes you mafia. I do not think that is the case whatsoever, and I find it hard to believe that a town WBG would be so obstinate about it.
Secondly, this all comes out after FF posts about how he doesn't like WBG's opening, and yet at some point it was put forth that FF was just under the influence of OMGUS when it came to his read on WBG. This is obviously false and I definitely see how a town player smurfing in FF's spot finds WBG's push highly suspect; because it is. It doesn't really make a ton of sense for a seasoned player to go HAM in the early game over a smurf he knew existed before the game unless it was clearly as a policy vote. The only problem is, WBG never framed the discussion as some sort of policy, he continued to attempt to justify pushing FF on the grounds that his play THIS GAME as a smurf was problematic because he wouldn't claim.
If he had such an issue with smurfs not claiming, why did he wait until FF pinged him out to post about it? Why did he troll about the early read and act all not serious (as in, blending in with the tone of the thread) instead of just posting that he was clearly just pushing a policy vote? Why did he then take this policy vote and morph it into what it became? It doesn't really add up.

It is helpful by way of making a point. It is not helpful in so far as having the question answered because you ask the question knowing it won't be answered. If he was interested in displaying his identity he would not be in a disguise. It does not take a wise man to posit your question.
you apparently don't understand.
It is in town's benefit to know his identity. If he refuses
while taking votes that's anti-town.
So just vote him and see what he does. If he doesn't give town anything what use is he alive? His contribution to this conversation has been a gif in response to my quote post. It is early in the day, but this is a good chance to see how our smurf wants to play the game.
I understand perfectly fine.
No you don't, because you repeatedly have shown an inability to read what I am saying.
I have said twice now that a smurf DOES NOT HAVE TO REVEAL THEMSELVES to satisfy my line of questioning.
I simply want more out of this particular player. The responses I have received so far have been relatively lukewarm at best. However, I'm going to step it up a bit further.
I agree with your general premise but not your methodology. I have already said the important question in regards to our mystery man is whether he will use his identity to impart wisdom and knowledge or to sow confusion.
So did I, you just failed to read where I said it. Twice. Now three times, actually, and if you count this now, four.
You seem to miss the point that had he been interested in revealing his identity he would have done so. This goes back to my earlier question to you: Do you ask him to reveal his identity so that when he refuses you can accuse him? Why would a member of the coven do such a thing when they already know that the outcome will be that he does not revel himself.
Nope. You're not reading. Keep this up and I'm going to just ignore you.
Your argument so far has been that his withholding his identity is suspicious and his posting style thus far is suspicious. But if we do not know his identity how can we judge his posting style as indicative of anything?
All that said, our mystery man does need to choose his path. He either gives us wisdom and clarity or he sows confusion, and his fate is decided by which course of action he chooses to take.
Nope. I am saying you do not understand because, well...you don't.
Let me clarify for you what has happened so far, and what is now worth discussing.

@Kickstart thoughts on Wherebugsgo attacking FreezingFoot for being a smurf?
Being a smurf is not alignment indicative.
refusing to divulge relevant information sure is!
identity is a large part of mafia.
But surely if you were an acolyte you would see the wisdom in ones words and not need to know the person's identity to discern its wisdom or lack thereof. Is this attempt to discern this persons true identity something useful for a member of the coven? Do you ask so that you can discredit if he does not oblige? Do you ask to know if he is a powerful and wise acolyte? Both courses of action would be beneficial to the inquisitors, while knowing his true identity or not does not matter to members of the coven. Ones words and actions matter most to the coven, not ones identity.
Only an inquisitor would be so interested in ones identity over ones wisdom.
Would you rather have the smurf be Foolishness, or random lurker X?
What about Ace, or BloodyC0bbler?
How exactly is this purely a scum-motivated question? It arguably helps town far more, given that if the smurf is town scum already know they are town and they are already automatically a threat. Knowing a player's identity is less important to scum. As scum I have left otherwise "good" townies alive to throw off towns before, simply because they were completely wrong.
It's not a scum motivated
question. But you questioned nothing. it is a scum
behaviour. It's basically a policy lynch that you get behind without compromising yourself. You won't have to rely on building original reads. You just see a townie and justify a push on him without actually caring for his alignment.
What I exhibited is a "scum
behaviour" according to Freezingfoot. He didn't like my original post, and he thinks I am not trying to build original reads. He claims I don't care about his alignment.

So it's a scum behaviour to question nothing...at the beginning of day 1, when by definition there is nothing to question.
Where do you come up with this logic?
Tell us who you are? It will help town = town approach
You're mafia because you're not telling us who you are = scum approach.
Implicitly calling my approach scum approach. But not directly doing it.
If Freezingfoot thinks my approach is so scummy, in four straight posts....
Why doesn't he vote me? If he tries to get me killed directly that would be one thing, but he's just weakly throwing back mud at me.
He posts that it's not about his identity, he just wants him to play more. How is this different than any other player in the game, then? Why the unnecessary fixation on the smurf? What does he expect from any player this early in the game? I remain quite unsure what WBG's goals are with this push and he fails to make them very clear whatsoever. Perhaps he's just forcing things in the name of early game town play but then why make it out like some sort of policy thing? It's just strange.
For the record, up to this point, only KS, LS, and Breshke had really commented on this situation and basically all of them had quite a different reaction to what was going on than WBG did. LS agrees with how I view the situation, as does Breshke, and KS also seems rather uninterested in the idea of focusing so much attention on the smurf. WBG manages to obfuscate and avoid anyone questioning his own motivations during this time.

Since WBG requested, I'll respond to his posts specifically as well.
FF's "vote me" entrance means absolutely nothing and has no bearing on the game whatsoever. He did immediately post that he didn't like your opening because it looked weird to him, and I agree. Your post looked forced.
Your vote was a response to that. His response was to be like "lolwtf u smokin?" As I've outlined, I agree.
KS seems to be posting unnaturally but then again I feel as if maybe that's just the way he types. Other than that, I have no qualms with his play.
I've talked about basically everyone else who's posted up to this point, but don't worry, I still have plenty left of the game to read and analyze. You may yet redeem yourself!
Aside from me, you're probably the next best town player if you are actually town. I have varying levels of experience playing with the players in this game and I'll talk about them in the context of my expectations for their play when I need to. Overall I don't expect this to be a particularly strong-willed town nor do I expect many people to deviate from the plan I come up with once I've actually posted this post and everyone realizes that I am indeed town, and that they should probably just listen to me.

Disregarding all of this, the most damning thing about FreezingFoot right now is the refusal to come out and play. I do not get a sense of interest from FreezingFoot. This could simply come down to not knowing what to do, but that's hard to believe given that smurfs are generally experienced. Why is FreezingFoot painting me as scummy, but doing it in such a weak manner? Why was FreezingFoot's first post a request for witchcraft votes? Why does FreezingFoot not try to participate in discussion when there is plenty of discussion happening?
Most of the discussion happening is about FF himself. What exactly is he supposed to say, bugs? I feel like this is just a little too forced for my taste.

There are a few important facts about this game
First, this is Reverse Mafia. The good guys are bad, and the bad guys are good.
I feel that this brings a couple things into the equation
1) It should make me a valuable player, considering we basically have a scum-style-town
2) scumhunting becomes a little different; people who are bad may have a superiority complex

You're actually not answering anything, it literally does not matter what I ask of you.
I'll leave it up to the other players to decide what they think. I have no problems killing you regardless of alignment at this point, since if you are indeed town you are pretty much worthless.
Again, the reasons for voting FF seem to just morph out of thin air. This IS 100% forced and I don't really associate town play with forcing a vote on a fucking smurf slot.

idk, I personally wouldn't put much into that. First it was he/she and it could have been a matter of convenience to say "she". I know some people default to female pronouns when they are unsure. Even so, Tubesock could know FF's identity through some other means, e.g. they talked to a particular player and knew they were going to smurf in this game.
With that said though, if Tubesock indeed does know FF's identity then it makes them both far more likely to be scum. That would be unfortunate (and rather weird, too) because I actually don't really think that's the case right now.

Yeah I understand this but that doesn't make not revealing who you are to be alignment indicative. If someone has chosen to smurf they have chosen pre game that they probably don't want to reveal who they are. I feel like saying, reveal yourself or get lynched, is a waste because it depends on the player on how they will act so you can't really get much from that.
Also to talk about this now instead of when mafia will be trying to hunt roles. I think it is best in at least the first phase that a lot of the chosen powers are information type roles specifically scrying
I
kinda dislike his pressure on FreezingFoot since FreezingFoot
could be a smurf and him calling him out so early just seems like it's a preplanned motion from him regardless of his alignment

Townies don't generally do this so freaking often. You don't need to announce to everyone that you're going to do your job as a townie, unless you are very new or scum.
So at first I ignored LS because I thought, maybe I'm wrong and this dude is new. I needed more info, however, so I posted this:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/486363-witchcraft-mini-mafia-iii?page=14#262 while looking into LS's past games.
TL Mafia database has a LOT of games for LS. So he is NOT a new player. This instantly made me more suspicious, but I wanted to see if as town LS was more confident and helpful. Turns out, LS is one of those players I would say has a very clear cut difference between town and mafia. I would suggest you all to skim over some of LS's past games, but in particular the ones that stand out are:

I'm sorry I was Mafia in that game Damdred it just hurt when you called me Mafia but Geript carried me till he died and did a hilarious bus on Sandroba when sicklucker got lynched lol........

I agree with you on kita Rayn considering a lot has happened since his last post and not really commenting anything relevant except for the shot ideas. Also I remember Toad being mostly carefree early in Hammertime when I was a Cohost when he was Town and he coming across the same way so I incline to think he's town.
Rayn you know how to read Sicklucker from my past experience with you and him together any thoughts on Sicklucker so far?

LightningStrike wrote:Sorry I was playing LoL game and HF's case on JAT is legit now that we seen HF flip Town and he made many good points on JAT and honestly the bully behavior that JAT displayed this game when people were voting is consistent with his behavior in Void mafia where he bullied people off him in the entire game as scum. Here's his filter from that game although he just was smurfing in that game that is why the name might be off
His scum game in Void:

I'm back and sicklucker is fighting Breshke instead of the other cell mates o.o Also Geript being mad at Kita too and Tube fighting Geript this is interesting stuff going on here and personally I never played in a Cell Setup before so this interesting. Also Geript claimed he got Vig powers and claimed to had shot Sep but yet Sep survived so most likely Ninja in Sep if what Geript was saying is true. I will admit I guarded the Button since we don't know what the button does I thought it was safe play since it kind of like the presents in Carol where we gotten random Presents 1 from a Mass Murderer when unwraped instant kill the person 1 with a Cop power for the Night and 1 with a Vig Shot for the Night and since it prob pure rng what we get I really don't want to give Mafia extra powers or extra powers for ninjas either and weighed it in myself and decided to guard the button.

I was just wating for more posts to get some better reads that why I haven't posted much because there was really much for me to ready. I still waiting for alakaslam, Dicksmash McIroncock, and Meatpudding to post.
My reads are atm the following
Town: Oatsmaster, sicklucker, Damdred, kushm4sta, Trfel
Null: Half the Sky, Breshke, Alakaslam
Scum: Dicksmash McIroncock, Meatpudding.
Dicksmash didn't post anything after his first post for the day and Meatpudding is either trolling us with the stuff he posted earlier or he scum but time will tell.
Alakaslam at least gave a good explanation for his posts.
Breshke gave a explanation on why he voted for sicklucker
Half the Sky made some decent posts but it reads null in my eyes but I still kind of new to TL Mafia (2nd game in TL mafia).

Guys fyi I wont be here from about 11:45 am to at least 4:30 pm CST and I still think Sandroba is Mafia based on meta and Oats I getting him as Town as he playing like he did in Office, Void, and New Years Eve Party where he was a little lazy but he seemed a little motivated now to play the game although I wished he had played on Day 1 but he's here now.

Tubesock I thinking some resemblances of her last game in Titanic now and Day 1 I had paranoia because before Titanic when I played her she was Mafia and rolled Mafia in another game too. The reason I seeing some resemblances from this game to Titanic because in that game she also was confused on setup stuff esp on the fact we had 2 Jail Keepers ( Nigella in Carol) and she having some confusions this game on setup stuff too. So a slight Town meta read on her.
Onegu since you confirmed town by the Cop Check I will do as you ask just promise me you shoot Geript okay?

+ Show Spoiler +LS's scum play is very very non confrontational and he generally gets away pretty well with just asking questions and making excuses for not having strong opinions or posting much. Tends to be very self-conscious in the thread when he rolls scum, which makes it very easy to recognize him
One of the main things going for bugs' is his sheer effort.
I also sort of agree with that last little summary case, given how I feel about normal LS. Normal LS looks bad but he doesn't
really care quite as much.On June 09 2015 05:53 LightningStrike wrote:Okay bugs is totes town he got very similar formatting and stuff to his latest town games to his scum games and his line of questioning to FreezingFoot is also similar how did his line of questioning in his town games. Also Bugs I do tend to do that hey I will be back later stuff a lot regardless of my alignment
Also I truly was bored on the smurf debate mainly because it isn't exactly important to know who the smurf is although would be helpful for meta purposes :o Now that the game isn't focused on the great smurf debate I also got a meta read on bats being town he always a interesting person I just hope he doesn't lynch himself again :O Onegu haven't done much so null on him meta wise.
blegh this response is not what I'd hope for if LS was town

growth is always exponential!

WBG said there are better lynches than yamato, who are they?
Going to convention center for graduation, help meeeeeeeeeee. BBS~
read my post on LS.
I think he's the best lynch for today
At this point I actually sort of agree with WBG, weirdly. You'll all call me bad for spending most of my post calling his push scummy and such but he did move on and I do like where he's going. It's pretty hard to see any mafia player giving enough of a fuck to continue to post in such volume when his main push failed so dramatically and people started to vote him (even if the votes on him aren't particularly threatening).
Overall, this game is rather lurky though and I don't have amazingly confident reads on too many players. LS is probably the worst looking player, but after that...? Shockey, perhaps? But he's a complete noob. Meh.
