What I'm saying is -- his vote on Arctic makes no sense, because he'd rather vote a lurker over a suspicious player.

Voting a lurker does nothing really. Voting someone suspect makes them talk.


I agree with you there, I don't think the vote makes much sense either and I'm trying to decide on if he just attacked an easy player or not, and if Arctic never does contest it it would be very easy for scum to latch onto him early and ride D1 out safely that way. I just re-read the first few pages and he does explain why he didn't vote for NW but considering he does that and then puts a serious vote on Arctic... I can see misguided townie and scum motivation behind it.

Im finding nobodywonder scummy too for complaining about lurkers not contributing yet he's barely contributed anything himself.

##vote: nobodywonder

@nobodywonder what do you make of the game so far? Any suspicions other than bduddy's lack of posting?

Guess its time for the joke vote to go.
##unvote

Now I guess its just a decision between M or NW at the moment... I find myself leaning a little towards NW given that hes actually posted suspicious stuff, where as our lurking friend still needs to give some stuff... Outside of those two, I dunno, Rainbow makes me uncomfortable even if he might be townie, I could actually see bussing mafia or SK also. OE seems pretty tow to me, and the rest need to contribute more before I can feel comfortable making a prediction.

Why do you have to make a decision now? Why are you talking about bussing? Why are you making a useless list post?

@Rainbows: I like your posting right now. Shall we hunt scum together? Although before we do that care to explain your vote?

@Frorgon: Your reasoning regarding bduddy in our first content post is sound; if he doesn't show up by the end of the day would you vote him?

@OmniEulogy At the moment it feels to me like MLuneth jumped on the fact that I plucked Arctic's name out of a hat a little too easily. You'll note that I didn't cast my vote for anyone yet, but just suggested that if we have people lurking they're likely not helping the game!

Alright.. not much to work with and if anybody has any counter-questions for me please ask. Even if you think it's a dumb question, it's best to get them out of the way. I'd like to try and get some discussion going so..

@MLuneth Could you expand on why you chose Arctic to vote on when there were others (bduddy, ChewOnStu) without any content as well. Other than it just being a coin flip.

@Krafla[spoiler]karla[/spoiler] Although you believe we may be giving some lurkers too easy of a time how do you feel about Luneth's vote on Arctic vs the other lurkers? Do you think it was too early to cast a serious vote on someone who has not been present or was it a justified action in your eyes?

@ChewOnStu Welcome to the game On the subject of lurkers, how do you feel we should deal with them if not for voting on them/lynching them when they become a problem? Every vote is meant to lynch so without that pressure how do we force bad town/scum to participate? I do agree that it is too early to assume anybody is lurking and not just busy but it is important to be able to react quickly, especially on D1.

@WoS you mentioned strategies town should implement, or rather asked about them. I was hoping you could expand on your own thoughts on the matter. Do you have anything to say about my opening post or anything to add to it?

@Matriarch How do you feel about the Lynch All Liars policy. Should town attempt to coax out scum by lying and possibly confusing the rest of us / hurting town in the process?

@Raven same question as above, how do you feel about Lynching all Liars. As Scum has to lie to survive do you think this would add pressure and eventually lead to a correct lynch if we caught somebody?

@Rainbows You mention Luneth being scummy, what do you think about his vote on Arctic? As Arctic has yet to show up, do you think it is more town oriented (trying to get a lurker to post) or scummy (attacking the easiest player early on in hopes that Arctic doesn't defend himself).

@Frorgon You mention suspicious behavior being one of the key things you will be looking for, is there anything you could note so far that you would consider suspicious?

@NobodyWonder You say you don't want to lynch anybody D1 if it is unjustified, could you expand and does that mean if we have no concrete proof of scum you will vote to no-lynch or would you get rid of the scummiest lurker?

@Arctic Can give us your thoughts on what has happened so far and answer most of the questions I have asked to the others.

@Taco Could you give your thoughts on Luneth voting for Arctic, which alignment do you believe it favors?

If I missed anybody sorry =/

Cause I dunno what I am doing and its what all the cool kids are doing? And I talk about bussing cause I mea the only mafia I've really played is the SC2 one, its realy really common to bus on it. So I just kinda assumed its the same way here. I'm just dumb I guess?

As there has been no case against you and I see no reason to suspect you of being scummy at this point in time I'm going to step in and defend you / chastise you a little bit.

To be fair Raven didn't say we had to make a decision now, he said the decision at the moment is between Luneth and NW which was correct. WoS if you truely like what Rainbow has been saying without giving any specifics I assume you also meant you wanted to focus on one thing at a time.

However Raven there are a few things I have a problem with in this post. One is the mention of an SK, keep that thought out of mind until the end of N1, it is not a certain thing that there is an SK, in all 3 of my previous newbie games there hasn't been one so it's best to leave that alone until there is proof of a 3rd party.

The second thing is the mention of bussing so early into D1 while some people have still barely said anything. I don't believe it makes sense for mafia to try and bus each other this early. We can start to look at it closer to the deadline / after the flip and try to come to any conclusions then.

I also personally just dislike it when people try to play the victim card. You have voiced some decent opinions about how we should go about the game and if you follow it up with some good scum hunting and cases it'll ease my suspicion of you greatly.

This is more like some friendly advice to you if you are town to help prove it and keep yourself away from the lynch mob. And just be aware that when people pressure you, you should think about a better defense than "I guess I'm just dumb" If it keeps up, it'll look pretty scummy without any real explanations.

Good advice in general, OE. I was thinking of getting to it myself but I figured lack of town activity right now means someone else should post.
Go easy on him for the victim card imo (you sort of did ); I know I had a lot of issues with that my first game when I was up against players who definitely were more experienced in that regard. But yeah Raven, OE's advice is sound and should all be stuff you consider when posting in the future. If you're town, the game is all about scumhunting as your primary goal. If you do that well you have no reason to be suspected.

Just to mention Rainbows, I liked his shutting down of the bad game theory stuff early.

OE since I'm responding to you already, I'm going to come at you a little.
Have you been taking coaching from mocsta or something? Your filter is absolutely massive already and, while your early reads/comments are accurate, we REALLY don't need to hear your thought process on absolutely everything. Nor questions to absolutely everyone, it shits up the thread. If you want to focus someone or a few people, go ahead but when you spread yourself to thin and expect different things from everyone it becomes very difficult to follow a line of reasoning---something you don't want as a self-proclaimed transparent townie.

I see... you've given me a lot of food for thought about how to act so thank you. Anyways, you did interpret what I was saying about NW and L. Kinda wish L would post more personally, Especially if hes going to call out me and a few others for not being active enough.

Don't abbreviate unnecessarily please, NW I get, but you could at least give me a few other letters to work with for those others, man.

Sorry. They are both MLuneth, Figured L would be kinda obvious sense hes being addressed as Luneth and the only one with an L for such purposes... didn't realize we had so many people with M at the start.

I actually stole a play straight out of Mocsta's book because I liked the reaction it got in one of my newbie games together with him (I think it was XXXIII) basically same thing happened, he was attacked for asking a bunch of different questions to different people. I agree with you partially about trying to chase after too many things at once, at the same time I don't want us to get too focused on NW and Luneth as it'll give scum an easy chance to sit back for a little bit if we are wrong about them. However I do still want to proceed with it and hear how they defend themselves.

@Raven no problem man, if you are indeed town my biggest worry would be if you got afraid to post your thoughts due to being attacked by them. Personally I don't think you should worry too much about Rainbows either. It's hard to get used to people who are so aggressive but try to see a town/scum agenda behind it. Although this doesn't always work I try to avoid WIFOM in the early stages of these newbie games. Would scum draw attention to himself and attack a ton of other people to see how they react to try and get a better read on them? That is the question I asked myself and although in some cases (and with very good scum) the answer can be yes, it is most likely not the case. So if you take that into consideration and realize you are working towards the same goal, it is much easier to work with that person to scum hunt rather than just feel put off by them.

mind you if I'm right only time will tell and if I'm wrong well fuck me then lol ALSO my filter is only massive because I had a full page and a bit before the game even started. been waiting for this to start for awhile x.x

@Wave I can see this concern about bduddy being heightened down the line but at least on the first day I feel as if obviously scummy behavior should trump lurkers when deciding where to place votes. But I am under the assumption that out of the scum, at least one will be actively involved in town activity and at least one will lurk. It is still possible that I would vote for him today though if the ones being accused of scum can defend themselves. Especially if he adds nothing else to the discussion.

@OmniEulogy I'm wondering why you asked me about what I thought was suspicious behavior. I clearly explained that in my initial post about the matter. It made me a bit uneasy about whether or not you were trying to get redundant information posted to cloud up the thread. As Wave said, the amount of posts you had started to raise a red flag for me. And don't get me wrong, it's not necessarily the amount of posts you had that was bad, it was that you seemed to be drowning the thread for a while with just your thoughts and limited discussion from others. That being said, I feel better about your contributions in the past few pages since other people have shown up.

Sorry Frorgon, consider suspicious about Luneth voting for Arctic*. I was jumping around a bit too much while writing that post and left some things out =/

OK I'll make a stand. I think lynching people that aren't participating in the thread is probably the best way to go at the moment, however I think we should probably give people a bit of time to come say hi. I've only just got to work and was asleep when Day 1 started so for the first 7 or so hours I was a lurker!

So, you are making a stand against non-town helping lurkers and do so by picking Artic's name out of a hat. When MLuneth votes for someone you suggested you get suspicious. All of the sudden you don't want actual votes anywhere, you still want to reserve judgement.

Are you for lynching lurkers or not? Your stance right now is that it would be a good thing, but bad to actually put a vote on them, but no-lynching would be bad for town.

EBWOP: non-town-helping lurkers, ie a lurker who isn't helping town by virtue of lurking

Want to hear more from:
MeatlessTaco: Aggressively enters the thread makes a couple early game cases and leaves. Who is your top scumread right now and why? (I refuse to believe it's NW just because you voted him)

Nobodywonder:
Useless early pressure of lurkers and talks about how he doesn't want to lynch D1. Inherently looks extremely scummy, but it's still early so I'll give him a chance to defend himself. What's up, NW?

Matriarch: Two posts, though calls out people for random voting which is ok I guess. It's been a little while now, what are your updated reads? Do you still think Meatless is scum?

I'm going to make an observation here about nobodywonder. A lot of people seem to be calling him one of their two main scum reads at the moment, but looking at his filter he really hasn't said much, yes what he has said sounded pretty scummy but we're only really talking about two posts. I'd like to hear him defend himself.
