Do Overly Inquisitive Liquidites act like Mafia 38 nosy neighbours and only visit people who are targeted for death, or do they visit anyone at all? This voting system is unfamiliar to me. The ability to stop a lynch going through appears much easier for Mafia than normal, they don't even need to vote for another strong candidate, throwaway votes will do. Keep an eye on people not voting for a major candidate without a very good reason. I propose that we never let a "no lynch" happen. The lynch is our primary KP, having no lynch for a night is basically giving extra shots for the Mafia. I propose that if it looks like a tied or no lynch is going through, we force people to switch so that someone dies. For a no lynch to be a possibility, there would have to be 2 close candidates. Even with a switch of 2 or so votes, we have enough information from before the switch for analysis, regardless of the flip. The problem I see is how do we determine who swaps? And how long before deadline do we leave it? Thoughts? | ||

I didn't say it's suss not to vote for the person with the most votes. It IS suss to make a throwaway vote on someone who has no chance in hell of being lynched unless you are pushing them hard. I don't think you read my post properly. What about early in the game then? | ||

He's like 1000 trillion times more careful and vague in these opening posts than last time. Here's his PTP2 opening post for comparison: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=10466682 He's careful to just give advice that cannot possibly rub anyone the wrong way. SCUM SCUM SCUM SCUM SCUM The "not safe" post you link included a joke about Harry Potter, a complete throwaway vote on kitaman27 and a joke about sandroba's plans. My first post in this thread advocated forcing people to change their vote, how is that so incredibly safe compared PTP2? I don't actually understand your case, I will talk to you more if you actually come up with something. On August 19 2011 18:14 supersoft wrote: i just filtered him, and he just posted one policypost and no thoughts about other people. Why not pressuring him a bit. Can't be bad. ##Vote DropBear and before anyone jumps on me like: "wtf he bandwagoned blablabla" - like Curu did in AA; I am NOT one of the players, that bandwagons on anyone random with a bad explanation only to show up the next day like "hey guise sorry what happened, oh you lynched scum - yea well I had stuff to do." I will be there at the end of the day and put my vote on scum. My posts are 2 pages after the game started. 2 pages. Half the players hadn't even posted yet and most of the ones who did posted nothing other than "/confirm". How do you expect me to have reads on people before they have even posted, through divination? Time travel? What's with the random defence of your actions at the end? It's like you know it's a stupid idea, but you're doing it anyway. | ||

nard's post was a joke about how Palmar raped them in Newbie Mini Mafia. He says that in the event I die and flip town, he would go after Palmar. It's his first post and he's saying hello to the few people he knows. How is it relevant or significant in any way? It isn't scummy, it isn't townie, it isn't anything. Why are we discussing it exactly? | ||

I made a post about this but the issue was ignored so here goes. THE GRAND DESIGN - This game has the possibility of no-lynches - No-lynches are generally anti-town - We need a system to ensure they do not happen - I propose that we elect an unofficial mayor to decide how to break ties close to deadline, should a no-lynch look likely. Such a person will be responsible for choosing who changes their votes and how it is done, or alternatively they will take on the responsibility of being the person who changes their vote to ensure a lynch takes place. - Such a person needs to be willing to cop criticism and cannot be a total fuckwit. Hopefully non-mafia as well  They will not be required to do anything if a lynch looks like going ahead.- I nominate myself for the position. I am decisive, active, capable of good reasoning and most importantly I am town. | ||

I think you're just making blanket statements to hide the fact that you rolled red. And of course Nard's post is hella scummy if you flip town, it means he's trying to set me up as a follow up lynch, which is potentially really good for mafia. But I'm not sure we have to worry about that, you're the most scummy one in the thread at the moment, and I propose we investigate you with a piece of rope around your neck. ??? Cmon man, you're a better player than this. It's the first post of the game, what do you want from me a 100 page dossier on each member of the Mafia team? I was attempting to generate discussion by bringing up how we force lynches to occur. Your first post didn't contribute anything. Should I be tunneling you for it? Of course not. You really don't seem to like my post. Do you prefer this? On August 19 2011 05:23 Lucidity wrote: Hi, my name is Lucidity and I'm a Liquidite. /discuss Or this?

You have a crowbar, flamethrower and 30 pieces of shuriken. What do You do to get the food? | ||

Being right in the past does not mean he's right now. Evaluate each case on its merits, not based on how good at mafia you think the accuser is. There is the option of the "mayor" to be the one who switches to ensure a lynch, as opposed to them telling other people to change. If we have someone designated then it reduces last second shenanigans. Would this be more palatable? | ||

On August 20 2011 03:33 Palmar wrote: hahahaa you're so scummy man. "But look at that guy, or that guy". Nah, I aint buying it, I wanna hang you tonight. I wanted an honest post from you, not some ridiculous attempt at looking pro-town. The last thing your openers looked like were honesty. I am trying to get things moving, get discussion started. The posts I quoted here are prime example s of why this needs to be done, noone is doing ANYTHING. In no way am I suggesting that they are Mafia, nor was it implied when I quoted them to you. What do you mean by honesty? I didn't say anything that could potentially have been a lie? I asked questions and made suggestions, they aren't truthful or not. This makes no sense??? I don't understand your problem with me Palmar. If you are so quick to make up your mind off one post, an introduction to the game, then I sure as hell hope GMarshal didn't give you a gun. | ||

On August 20 2011 03:39 Erandorr wrote: By the way DB do you think that inofficial mayor role will ever be used in this game? you would have to have half voting for player A against the other half voting for B. And to be completely frank do you really think you would be a good fit for that role right now , with all the shit you seem to be getting from quite a few people in here? It sort of seems like you are trying really hard to get a good position that screams "I am not scum" and that is very unlikely to ever matter at all The point of it is to ensure a no-lynch never happens. It would only be used if it looks like a no-lynch is imminent. It's a contingency. The only person giving me shit is Palmar lol. On August 20 2011 03:43 Varpulis wrote: do we need to elect that lol? If you want to switch your vote to make sure that somebody dies feel free, and be prepared to be held responsible for the results. Alright fair enough, I will do so if the situation arises. | ||

All of a sudden, the pressure on you made you get all defensive and even pull your vote off DropBear. I'd say it was quite successful in exposing scummy behavior. Sevryn took his vote off me before he came under any pressure at all. So this is incorrect. How is a silent vote a pressure vote exactly? | ||

He's been skirting around doing little. Only 8 posts since the game started. His actions thus far have been: - Joke post about Palmar being scum - Crapping on about how amazing Quickstriker's posts are - Crapping on about how well he played as Mafia in some old game - Claiming he will return and contribute heavily and failing to do so - Voting sevryn just because. No reasoning given. LET US LYNCH HIRO | ||

 Other stuff - I think the case against Mig is at this point non-existent - I think the case against BrownBear is extremely poor - I am not convinced by the cases against either Sevryn or RayzorFlash - Palmar I strongly believe you are town but.... calm down bro. - My second choice for lynch would be chaoser. I've played with chaoser before when he is townie and he is always among the most active players in the thread. Only 5 posts in 48 hours is a huge changeup from his town play. Not only this, his posts have mostly been walls about how we shouldnt argue too much, how vigis and hatters should shoot who they think are scum (durr) and asking other people what they think without providing any opinions. The vote for Mig is basically "what Foolishness said". | ||

Are these directed at me or not? I can't tell To Palmar, his vote on me was strange, the quick dropping of it was stranger but I'm not convinced either way. To xtfftc, I'd rather lynch someone than noone. I would much rather kill hiro or chaoser over sevryn though. | ||

On August 21 2011 07:55 Palmar wrote: what do you feel about killing brownbear db? Profoundly unenthusiastic. The part of his post you bolded as "scum logic" is pretty good town logic to me. Getting up and about early on Day 1 is beneficial. Your extreme tunnelling, as annoying as it has been, did help get shit started so I'm quite confident you are town. He states that no-lynches are bad and he will kill me if there are no other options, which is a sentiment I share. I have no issues with BrownBear as yet. Plus he's a fellow bear AND a WeMade fan, he must be a good guy :D | ||

On August 21 2011 08:38 Mig wrote: I went to bed broski. After reading back through everything I actually think chaoser is scummier than sevryn. He spent the start of the day making bland fluff posts giving generic advice to town and followed it up with doing absolutely no scum hunting. For comparison look at his posts day1 and day2 of mafia 39 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=216644&user=41788. In 39 chaoser absolutely dominated as town single handedly taking out half the scum team within the first 2 days. In that game he didn't make any fluff posts giving generic advice, he spent all his time actively pressuring people and doing real scum hunting. And now look at his play and his activity this game. It is the polar opposite. I still think sevryn is scummy but his play is at least similar to his town meta, chaoser is playing completely out of character for his town play and is contributing nothing when he is a very strong player. Vote: Chaoser If people don't switch I will go back to sevryn before the deadline. He's my number 2 choice, let's get behind this! | ||
