Good idea but trying to figure out what the mafia will pick is pretty much a crapshot at this point. There are just too many roles that are dangerous. Like Radfield iirc said - our best bet is to lynch anyone caught with clearly anti-town roles. This way no one can get away with " I was just picking this to deny Mafia from it" excuses.


This is the plan I like most. In the last PYP game, structuring the picks too much caused a good bit of confusion and in the end, didn't really help with anything. I'm going to be picking a pro-town role no matter where I fall, and I think it's smart to hold everyone else to the same expectation.

The only situation in which someone would even maybe want to immediately claim that they didn't get the role they wanted would be if they were high on the list, tried to pick traitor, and didn't get it. Then again, if a higher-up red went for a strong role and missed it they could say the same sort of thing to confuse/fuck with town so even that has some conditions attached to it.

Therefore I'm going to scope out suspects based on small posting with a clear sign of having interests elsewhere during the drafting and role picking stages.


haha, I have no clue what this means. Anyway, since I get called out for lurking just about every game might as well reassure people right now: I get involved when shit starts actually happening, don't worry about it. Still don't really know how to read these early stages .-.

Sorry! PYP3 was one of my earliest games, and I really didn't know how to approach the game. Between that and it being PYP I just kind of lurked out of sheer terror and confusion, and ended up getting modkilled for it which I'm still kicking myself for :/

I mean, all the who-picks-what planning talk was cool, but I pretty much stated how I was going to pick and that was that. I understand the appeal to having a structured list but last game it didn't go quite so well. So what's there to say when everyone's just kind of mulling over two or three reasonable plans that I won't strictly be participating in?

So yeah, I'm pretty quiet during this part of the game, and that's my bad. If you ever feel like I haven't taken a strong stance on an important issue or that I'm deliberately ignoring or omitting something important from any of my posts I'd love for you to call me out on it, but until the game gets moving or something really catches my eye I don't know how I'm going to get more than 2-3 posts out a day without outright spamming.

Also, a group of vote-checked townies won't be 100% green. There's still the possibility for framers and GFs to be in the group.


This is probably the best reason to not even try for the rigger/vote dt combo until later on-- we probably handed scum every GF role they could have wanted, so all the check will tell us is if there's a red voting for a player that didn't take GF which, while useful, is pretty far off from what the combo could do for us once we have a better handle on what's going on.

You haven't been posting much, and you suddenly appear to simply bandwagon deconduo. Generally, placeholder votes are put on yourself, by the way; right now, it looks like you're just voting without caring who you're voting for.
The lynch is important. It's a reliable way to weed out mafia, given that people vote intelligently. What is your reason for voting deconduo? Do you believe he is mafia? (If not, who are you watching?)

Do I think decon is mafia? Probably not, after pulling a post like that. Do I think that there's a decent chance we're going to lynch mafia today if we ignore decon? Nope. Do I think that lynching someone who's either VI or a townie with apparently no role who's lost interest in the game and probably won't contribute much is better than tunneling in on one or two 'suspicious' posts from an active player or one who looks lurk-y now for whatever reason but could hold a helpful role or perk up and contribute more in the next few days? Definitely.

Look, I don't ever have much confidence in day 1 lynches. Like ace has said, it just seems like sifting through peoples' posts and emphasizing possible reasons that they *could* be scum. I don't see anything that makes me especially confident that we're on the right track today and I'm pretty clueless so far as well. At best decon is VI and we take him out of the game early and avoid lynching someone green tonight. At best-best mafia is retarded, and decon is a red zombie or something. At worst decon is for some crazy reason lying and actually holds the most useful role in the world but decided to tell us to kill him just for fun. Probably decon actually did have a specific set of roles he wanted to play and he wasn't able to pick any up, so he's not that interested in playing the game.

In terms of people I think are scummy, I think caller and chez have been posting pretty dumb things, but that's about all I've got

Based on his play in XXXVIII, I feel like kav's meta is 'try too hard day one and get lynched for it'. I don't think he's scum.

Is Chezinu always so crazy? I went through all of his posts and he has yet to contribute in the least to the game. If it was anybody else I have to think that they would be facing a lynch at this point. Flamewheel, you're welcome to say that the quality of my posts has dropped off, but you have to admit that for Chezinu "quality" is just a memory of a dream.

The only game I've played with him was Survivor Amazon, but quality posts and analysis wasn't exactly the name of the game there. I clicked through his history from TL Mafia XXX and earlier and while I didn't see anything stellar, he at least seemed to be, you know, playing.

I have to think that he's smarter than he's letting on.


He's pretty obviously VI, or trying to look like it. Lynching him would be fine.

This post is so scummy its not even funny, it shows a complete disregard for the power of his vote and a "yay easy bandwagon" attitude that is at the very least anti-town, if not outright scummy


hey remember that time I posted about this

yeah me neither I hate reading

I'm absolutely not comfortable lynching kav today. I'm having a hard time convincing myself to even switch my vote to one of the two lynchees at the moment.

honestly kav getting lynched would be hilarious if it wasn't so incredibly dumb for any of you to vote for him. I mean come on, nearly exactly this happened last game.

I think it's pretty likely the second KP came from mafia as well. The hits went to the #1 and #2 drafted players and I don't think flamewheel was a huge vig target or anything.

Because Scamp was the mafia hit for sure, right? (actually, if one of the hits was a vig, I think it would more likely be Scamp. I do agree that both hits were mafia, though.)


Can you explain what you're thinking here? Scamp was assigned the inventor role, he didn't make any sort of indication that he wouldn't take it, and then took it and played pretty normally. I don't see why anyone but mafia would off him :/

Apologies for my inactivity. Back to back midterms among other responsibilities don't leave much time for anything else-- I'm half caught up with the thread but that's it. By tomorrow afternoon I'll be off the hook, and back to only semi-lurking instead of being outright inactive Look forward to it!

Back, and all caught up.

Incog has me scratching my head. Reading most of his posts, I feel confident he's speaking from a town point of view. But then he picked america and nuked pretty much completely out of the blue without any sort of discussion. I'm going to go with my gut on this one and say he's town, but everyone should still keep eyes on him.

I honestly have no clue where the node votes are coming from. Maybe that's because I read through the thread too fast, but even looking back at his posts individually I don't see anything out of place. Could people voting for node give like a two sentence explanation of why he's scum because I really can't come up with anything on my end.

A killer lynch, I can get behind. There seems to be zero thought behind his posts so... yeah. It'd be pretty easy to hide a red behind those posts. Off with his head.

Actually of course incog didn't claim america, then he'd just get politician'd. We do need to figure out how to keep him from getting controlled in the future, though :/
