My first Mafia game on TL but it seems like it's not much different.

It is reasonable to expect a few of the new players to be overly active, some to be careful not to talk too much and some to completely forget about the game. ^^

Surely the Mafia is aware that open discussion is the ordinary citizens' strongest weapon and are thus likely to target those who are unafraid to speak their minds? A dictator always targets the means of communication: the media, the internet, etc.

Yes. Does that mean we should all lurk? No. If everybody discusses in a productive way, mafia will have trouble blending in and providing the same level of constructive input, and suddenly those extremely pro-town players don't become such high profile targets, because everyone is joining in to an equal degree.

I agree, of course. If the whole population takes part in the democracy process, the people become too powerful to be messed with. But it often takes just one ordinary citizen to show signs of cowardice - and suddenly we see a snowball effect affecting the whole town.

I don't have anything to add really - as long as we're all active, all is good. I'd just bear in mind that people don't want to die, even in a game.

Well then, xtfftc, same questions, what are your thoughts on lurkers, lynching them, using town KP on them, and making a list?

I already explained my position on lurkers and their effect on the game. Asking me to repeat myself is generating spam - and we all know who benefits from spam.

As for lynching/using town KP on them is fine as long as we don't have better leads. Making a lurkers list is good as long as we don't set some arbitrary posting criteria. However, the active players appear to be unimpressed by your overzealousness and I don't think that they will allow your views on it to influence voting too much, so I'm fine with the idea.


And something unrelated - it would help the game a lot if we start every name with a capital letter; it makes reading page after page much easier. So Xtfftc instead of xtfftc, etc. I don't expect everyone to start doing it but just consider it, please.

##Vote: Palmar

He obviously had something in mind and there's no way he wasn't aware of how his accusations would be perceived by the rest of us.

However, his strategy hasn't benefited town by now. He has until the deadline to convince me to vote DropBear or BrownBear. If nothing meaningful comes out of the discussion initiated by him, I'd rather have one less player who throws arbitrary accusations around.

I'd also like to point out that it shouldn't be that difficult to convince me to switch to DropBear, considering DropBear's behaviour.

Oh, the vote is in 30 hours, not in 6 hours. I thought we were running out of time. :/

Still, I'll stick to Palmar for now.

ah, okay I understand, you vote for palmar, not because you think he's scum, but because he didn't convince you to vote for DB. This is scumlogic. Town doesn't vote people for playing bad. Town votes for scum.

Compared to DP, who proposed some really useless plans like this unnecessary mayorthing, your stuff seems more scummy to me.

##unvote
##vote: xtfftc

What is it that you don't understand? Palmar has a very agressive opening strategy and, by the time of my vote, there was no better target. Am I convinced that Palmar is Mafia? Nope. He was just the best candidate for a lynch.
There is more to my post though. I acknowledged the fact that Palmar is not just randmoly trolling but has an actual strategy. Some people don't agree with me+ Show Spoiler +

filter his posts. Now tell me if a single one is productive and helpful. He blindly tunnels DropBear based on meta (i think, it's such a terrible accusation though that it's not worth trying to figure out), then calls everybody who disagrees with him scum.

but I think they haven't paid enough attention to what Palmar did. I liked the way he kept attacking DropBear, while at the same time his goal obviously was to analyse the reactions of those who defend him.

he just played two games as mafia recently: Personality and PTP2. Both games he attempted to be normal and blend in; there wasn't any of this odd posting. I don't think he would radically change his style like this if he was mafia again.

If Palmar is mafia he's on drugs.

Or he is deliberately changing his strategy because he knows how much people here rely on the meta game. Seriously, is this all you do? We are supposed to be playing mind games here; not judge solely on what people did last time.

these guys haven't voted yet. Since not all of you can possibly be scum, I encourage you to vote in the next 2-3 hours, so we can see who the maintargets are.
It has been said many times before in this thread: A no lynch would be very bad.


Please don't do any more lists. You voted for me as a response to my vote for Palmar - and then you put me on a list of people who haven't voted. I do believe that this is a honest mistake and you didn't try to manipulate anyone with it but it is sloppy nevertheless.


I will answer to QuickSilver in a separate post because this one is long enough anyway.

Hi xtffffffffffffc, what's your opinion on Sevyrn?

If I don't answer QuickSilver, people will claim that I have nothing to say in my defense.
If I don't analyse Sevyrn, I will be accused of not contributing.

I will try to do both as there is enough time before the deadline but this is exactly what Mafia want us to do - discuss a number of targets instead of a single one.

You're right xtfftc, using past behavior to analyze someone says nothing about their role, and I'm merely posting that information as fluff so I can hide better as mafia.

No need to be defensive as I did not accuse you of being mafia - I merely pointed out that your arguments don't help us.

I'm asking for your thoughts on Sevyrn. Surely you have some thoughts on Sevyrn just from reading the thread like a good diligent Townie would be doing. I don't want a carefully crafted opinion or analysis, I want to know what you think about Sevyrn right now.

Mafia. The "pressure vote" thingie sounded too much like an attempt to be tough on mafia - and once he realised he screwed up he tried to disappear.

I didn't revenge-voted him for voting palmar. I don't care who votes palmar. I voted him for his reason to vote Palmar.

I never said such a thing - I simply pointed out you were sloppy.

By the way, I have to apologise to supersoft - I just noticed that I didn't post in the voting thread, which was probably the reason he put me on his list (although it's still kind of sloppy).

So I'm going to vote after Sevryn defends himself. Palmar, DropBear and BrownBear are a story that has to develop further.

wtf? why are you afraid of voting now? Is it because others have labeled you as scum already?

I expected supersoft to be superhappy about this but noone else. Sevryn is basically dead, one way or another. No mafia will be dumb enough to protect him anymore and the townies are aware that going after anyone else now would look suspicious. But in case Sevryn gets modkilled, we need to use the opportunity for two town kills.

Now, let's proceed with a discussion of what actually matters.

Then who do you propose we vote for?

My gut says supersoft and QuickSilver but my gut is biased and wants those who go after me dead ^^ Although Supersoft being so cautious when defending Sevryn and yet so aggressive against me and his earlier bandwagonning is something worth remembering.

I want to hear more from DropBear and BlackBear. I do not find DropBear particularly suspicious but he still has to answer the questions raised. BlackBear is suspicious (going too agressively against inactive players, some random accusations) and, unlike DropBear, is a target we might get a majority for.

Hiro, judging by the OP I think we have about 6 hours left.

Town right now loses NOTHING by lynching Sev. If he flips red, we immediately know who to go after next, i.e. the people defending him, or the people trying to get someone else lynched first. If he flips green, we can target the ones who have most aggressively tried to get him lynched. Its a win-win situation.

Yes you do lose something you lose a townie when i flip green and going after the people who most aggressively tried to get me lynched is all WIFOM.

To be fair, I sort of agree with this. Kudos to Rayzor for pointing out supersoft's witchhunt but this statement was ridiculous. Mafia is unlikely to go so aggressively against a townie and by encouraging us to go after Sevryn's most vicious accusers in case he is innocent, he might secure another town lynch. Especially considering that Sevryn did get himself into a mess of his own... It's not like someone fabricated it all.

So, in case Sevryn turns out to be a townie after the lynch, Rayzor is a good lead, and if Sevryn is indeed mafia, Rayzor is probably clean.

Also, I am not convinced that Supersoft is mafia. In my opinion he is just too anxious to prove himself and is just all over the place. So, if Sevryn is a townie, I'd be inclined to believe in Supersoft's innocence.
