I've seen a bunch of "newbie" posts, but that one seriously hinted at finding blues, as well as finding flaws in previously used investigative strategies. While it may be a "newbie" type post, it also answers a question I ask myself whenever I'm looking at someone - Are they acting in the best interest of the town? My gut feeling is "no", even though he has so few posts. And, rather than pick on lurkers for the sake of picking on lurkers (since they'll likely be modkilled at some point), I think our best move at the moment is to lynch rookie44. | ||

But because he talks about town in the 3rd person, which is a very unnatural thing to do. Obviously an indepth analysis would be the best, however there is not much we can go on at this stage, and given that i think any tells will be a metagame failure. I quite like thinking about metagame, and (though obviously this will be biassed) looking at my posts i have been advacating thinking about the longer term when everyone else was discussing the right now. No blue or red would want to stick out like that. I am going to bed now so this is the last of it. (would a mafia give such a poor defence?!!?!?) I used 3rd person in my 2nd post in the thread. And my first post was a "hi" post..... What does that tell you about my alignment? That I'm scum? As for the metagame..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... We need to get the best possible lynch RIGHT NOW. Not 5 days from now. The sooner we hit a couple of reds, the better. So we have to do what we can to hit a red RIGHT NOW. Don't worry about the "metagame"..... It is a metaphysical construct which will not directly help in any individual game, as players can actually play against said "metagame". | ||

I don't see at all how what he's been saying could lead to blues revealing themselves - one of the people voting for him should lay out the case a bit better. Point by point: 1. Irrelevant. And battle.net mafia is EXTREMELY different from this. 2. No, he isn't asking people to post their roles. He's asking what people think good strategy for blues would be - which is a reasonable question from town and even more sensible for a blue poster. 3. Alternately, he's honestly a newbie asking experienced players what they think we should be doing. 4. Or, he's giving his reason, as a townie, for asking. The "analysis" is bullshit. This is bandwagonning at its WORST. If this was a day 2 or later lynch, I'd expect something more convincing. But it's not. If you have a better idea, I'd like to hear it. | ||

I'm just bothered that wll of a sudden a bunch of people (xkcd, Kurumi, Senj) are jumping on voting for a guy, a handful of hours before the lynch. Especially considering: Senj is a lurker who's posted the bare minimum to be considered active amazingxkcd who's posted a whole lot of nothing - his only contributions have been posting one-liners about why other people's ideas are bad Kurumi - who's been posting a lot, and insanely aggressively, and accusing everyone flat-out of being scum, but when he decides who to vote for he posts a chort and uncertain post wihtout really explaining. It just seems like the analysis is a lot worse on this case than it has been on a bunch of others - but a couple people started voting for him and set a bandwagon rolling. As for scummiest posts, I still haven't seen anything to top this: That reeks of inexperienced townie to me, not scum..... | ||

Then an hour later Look at the time stamps, within 3 minutes of each other. And none of them posted for 2 hours previous to bandwagonning rookie. It looks liek co-ordination. I didn't notice this. Nice catch. I'm re-thinking my position right now. Will post when I think it through. | ||

Why? Because, it's likely that all 3 (or 2 of them) are mafia, based on the timing (and assuming that rookie is town and we have 2 or so vigis in the game). When that one flips, here's the outcomes: Scum - We get vigis to hit one or both of the others overnight. Early knockdown to 3KP for the mafia. Town - We get a vigi to hit rookie as an insurance policy for switching (although we can argue the merit of this move overnight, and should rookie turn out to be red, Treadmill would be a decent policy lynch tomorrow because of how hard he's been defending). So, if we're going to hit one of them, we need to pick the scummiest one, in case it's a freak accident that they all voted at the same time like that. And we've gotta do it quick (I'm gone in ~1 hr). Basically, if we switch - in the worst case scenario we give our vigis a good target tonight, and best case, we hit 2 or 3 mafia. Pretty damn good first lynch/night imo. Now, I asked myself "have they been acting in the best interest of the town?", and the one that really stood out as a "no" was xkcd, so I'd agree with a switch to him right now. So, I'm changing my vote. ##Vote: amazingxkcd | ||

I was in the middle of writing up something a little more in depth on why I chose xkcd, but my "1 hr" has turned into "5 minutes". I've switched my vote, and I hope some others do the same. It's not that I think rookie is a bad lynch, it's just that I think this lynch will give us more info, and if I'm wrong, we got rid of a really negative townie (which can end up derailing us in the later stages of the game). PS, if they all show up as town, as does Treadmill, then you guys HAVE to lynch me. Not doing so would be completely suicidal..... | ||

Also, I'd like to voice my opinion of "using our KP early" due to the loss of our medics. While it sucks to lose both, some games don't have medics, or medics are bad/inactive/unlucky and are essentially no better than another townie, and the game is still far from over. It might suck for a vigi to die without using his power, but it's better he doesn't use it than he uses it badly. | ||

He just got unlucky, and everybody jumped on it. The weird thing is, why did everyone jump on it? I'm not sure. Early on, there was some momentum against freeloader, and that completely shifted from a single post. We may be able to look back at today's vote to nail some scum, or it could mean absolutely nothing at all. However, we won't know until after we nail some more scum, so there's no point in worrying about it too much right now. These types of swings don't have to be influenced by the mafia. | ||

Are all the medics gone now or is there probably one left? I'd assume that we have none (although it's completely possible that we started with 4 medics). The reason for that is that we can't really have them stack saves anymore (assuming 1 or 2 live), so if the mafia want someone dead, it'll happen. We may get lucky and they end up saving someone still, but I wouldn't count on it. Obviously, if there are any DTs out there (in this setup, it's possible that there are none), do not roleclaim yet. You're going to have to assume that there's noone there to protect you. But leave us some clues based on what you find, so that we can find something in case you end up dying. | ||

If you are concerned that you might die save your post for the last few minutes before day. Agreed. However, we should probably try to stir up some decision for any blues that are unsure of what to do. We've probably got 2+ DTs who have to check someone, and 2+ vigis who may be itching to hit scum tonight. And it's still possible that we have a medic. If we have a medic left, there's a few people I'd suggest saving. One would be myself (obviously :D), another would be treadmill, a third would be freeloader, and a fourth would be Jackal. Jackal has this uncanny ability to either be very, very right in his analysis, or very, very wrong in his analysis, so losing him wouldn't be great, as long as we can figure out if he's right or wrong. iGrok isn't a bad choice either. There's a few people who should be high priority vigi targets. amazingxkcd is definitely my #1 choice, but jimbooo wouldn't be a bad target either. senj or kurumi instead of xkcd wouldn't be a bad choice either. As for DT checks, I wouldn't recommend xkcd, senj and kurumi right now. If xkcd gets killed tonight (or one of the other two instead), we'll have 2 people as good lynch targets if he flips red, and it's hardly better than a blind guess if he flips green, so it's not really worth a check right now. Voting for the same person at the same time like that is really wierd, and I can't help but think that it's coordinated. My bad if I'm wrong, but it just looks soooooo bad..... So it would be a big waste of a DT check imo. As for who to actually check - I'm not too sure. There's quite a few good people to check, I just wanted to point out some obviously bad ones to check. So, if you want to argue any part this with me, or have anything to add, now's the time to do it. | ||

Freeloader - there's definitely uncertainty here. But I have a reason for wanting him alive tomorrow. Jackal - He's really good at analysis when he's tunneled someone. He may not always be on the right track, but he brings up some good points, and is easily able to start discussions, which are good for the town. I don't know whether he's scum or not yet, but for now, he can definitely be useful to the town. He's one of the people I'd want to check as DT, to make sure he's on my side, but, if he is scum, he's likely the GF, so a DT check would actually be pretty useless anyways. | ||

Also, if someone trying to draw attention away from a blue is scummy, then I think we've got different mindsets. I really didn't want to go into this much detail, because this may end up swaying the decision of the mafia. -_- | ||

I'd like to know what guides/games you have read, as well as what games you have played. Just take like 10 seconds to post a quick list plz. If you've played in a few already, I know you're well exposed to TL Mafia. I'm asking for this information I want to get a feeling for how well adjusted our "newbie" players will be. I'm pretty sure that this may prove useful to us in the future. I wanted to ask it during the previous day, but I showed up pretty late for the party. | ||

Hats off to you, doing analysis like a boss, standing up for what you think, and making really good reads on people (like the aforementioned Rookie). Seconded. Holy crap man. I expected some good things from you, but this is definitely above and beyond. Whether right or wrong, that's one hell of an analysis. Ok, so, just in case some of you missed it, I'd like to quote myself.
