This sounds fun.

I assume participating in this game doesn´t clash with the Werewolf Mafia game, we have other players from there in any case.

Wiggles, his post was talking about a pro-EA strategy, but it doesn´t mean he really wanted to implement it, just watch reactions. Anyone insisting it as a great plan is suspicious because it doesn´t take long to figure out the problems with it. Either he´s playing risky Town or crappy EA, and if he´s a veteran, risky Town seems more likely.

alright I hope that made sense. One more thing: What happens if an insane doctor visits EA?

EA can only be killed by a lynch, so nothing happens.

On breadcrumbing, without info-roles, it´s not that usefull in this game, and is more likely to attract attention from scum and EA, or plunge us into a WIFOM swamp, than actually aid Town. I advice against it, but it´s up to the player.

On Wiggles, I´m not prepared to vote on him until I hear him defend himself. He hasn´t posted since Ferryman posted his analysis on Wiggles, and I´m fairly sure that was the first FoS on him.

It´s been discussed earlier why breadcrumbs are bad, obvious posting of intent isn´t any better. Even if everyone claim they visit someone, there is information there. Either people lie, and we get WIFOM, or scum/EA picks up on it, and either attack those who are visited by many to find their enemy power-role, or stay away from those who are visited by anyone, to ensure their ability gets through.

Right now tnkted looks the most scummy, but I want to hear his defence before I vote. He hasn´t been online for about 12 hours.

On extension, if there are a limited number of uses, then I suggest we wait and don´t use one today, unless we are forced by not having a majority vote, because they will probably be better used in the late game. We should have about 25 hours left on the day, so there is still time to discuss this next lynch.

Alright sorry for actually mentioning visiting someone, didn't see the cons on breadcrumbing

Breadcrumbing summary:
The doc lies so mafia cant backtrack who healed the person they attacked accurately... so the doc cant breadcrumb

The rest of town feign visiting and psych tells the truth because the psych is our best lead on finding the horror
The forseen problem with that was that the EH would know who 'visited' them and if they didn't die, would know they were not worth a visit

So what if town agreed to which person the psych visits anonymously?
e.g. town agrees that psych should visit (I don't know, me?) and if the psych turns up dead we can assume hes (I'm in this case) the EH

If players lie in breadcrumbing, then we get WIFOM and confusion. The doc can´t point at his breadcrumbs in case he is going to get lynched, so he´ll probably get lynched precisely because his breadcrumbs don´t add up with what is happening in the game. Scum and EA will analyse breadcrumbs, either getting valuable info, or a good alibi, which the Blues can´t contradict without outing themselves. It will create a mess, and we don´t want a mess.

I never actually believed Palmar was anti-town, but there was an arguement against him and I didn't want to not lynch, so
##Unvote

Now, having read up to this point, one person seems to be pushing the identity of the horror rather too strongly, don't you think?
I'm thinking he's panicked from getting the third party role and tried to pin the blame on someone else from the get-go
##Vote: TheFerryman

Note how Ferryman used examples of wiggles from other games, despite this being his first? I think he was likely looking at other games to see how a third party faction should be played, and just happened to come up with some 'evidence' that wiggles could be used as a scapegoat.

Also I don't really think meta-arguements should be used, keep it within what's been said this game.

scum tend to stay really quiet on sc2 mafia, im not sure how forum mafia compares


So what made you change your mind so quick, when neither me nor ferryman posted between these? Rather contradictory, don't you think?


You've posted less, out of the two of you I'd rather ferryman based off that, and tnkted accusing me made me realise just how scummy I made myself look
In my experience with SC2 mafia, only weak town roles accuse each other on day 1 because if they turn out to be wrong they're only townies

So in your opinion, Wiggles and Ferryman are probably Scum?

It doesn´t really add up with your earlier post, Wiggles might have few posts, but they are HUGE, he´s only posting long analysis and policy posts. Ferryman is quite active, and drew a lot of attention to himself early. If you are looking for players trying to stay out of sight, they look like very bad choices.

Okay, enough of this, I´m voting, there´s not that much time left anyway. I´ve been following the talk about Wiggles and Cyber, and until two hours ago, my reads were misunderstood Town on Wiggles, and noobtown on Cyber. However, after Cybers wall of text about probabilities, it got a bit too much, there are just so many scumtells. Cyber has too many weird policies and strategies, and ways to justify his actions. There are two things I´m unsure about, first his fascination with policy for Blues, and also the lack of connection to other players, few defend him, noone appear to be coaching him out of this mess. The first could just as easily be a scumtell, the second doesn´t confirm scum, but it doesn´t free him of suspicions either. Scum want to get rid of weak links. From my overall read, I´m betting he´s Scum.

##Extension, I want more time on this

There were some changes, I don´t think extension is something we can vote to get, instead the day is extended by 24 hours if we don´t have a majority vote, which is currently at 7 votes on the same person at the deadline.

Just throwing it out there, I don´t want us to waste an Extension on Day 1. With only two of them, I feel they are better used on Day 2 and Day 3, when we will need the extra time more, and when we have more to discuss. I´m not saying Day 1 is a wasted effort, there have been extensive analysis and among the 5 top suspects, there is probably one or two anti-town, but we are still just fumbling in the dark. It´s too easy to sit in your own bubble and do WIFOM, without any real evidence to base it on. 24 hours more might give us a better chance to find Scum, but they are better used later on, when there is more concrete evidence to look at.

If at all possible, I want us to agree on a lynch within the next 7 hours.

Ferryman and Wiggles are away, and not likely to be able to change their votes before the deadline. If we want to avoid an extension, then we can´t rely on them.

As for me, I´m now considering Tnkted to be just as scummy as Cyber, but hiding it better. He is also a veteran player, Cyber can be excused as this is his first game, and I don´t like lynching a player on the first day in his first game. I also feel like there are more connections between Tnkted and other players, this is a weak scumtell but it´s the one thing I was missing when looking at Cyber.

What's your reasoning to believe Wiggles is town?

I don´t trust the primary argument made against him. Meta is usefull, sometimes, but I don´t think it´s applicable in finding a new kind of 3rd party with an unknown optimal play, especially as the meta argument focused specifically on his first post, which wanted to start a discussion more than anything. Since then wiggles has sometimes overreacted in his defences, there might be something there, but some players has said that Wiggles is hard to read, and I´m prepared to trust that Meta more than what Ferryman brought up.

#vote palmar



Thing is, the lololo thing is too unforced, too reactive and too casual for him to possibly be scum. If he was scum, he'd know I was town and be a little more hesitant to take my "derp" as an admission of slipping up (whereas, it's real intention was to portray the silliness of the accusation upon tnkted).

If he's scum he's really good scum. I don't think he'd ever do what he did there as scum. He could have pushed the same issue, trying to paint my joke as a slip, but he would have gone about it completely differently if he was scum.

At first it looked like that, an easygoing joke-vote, but this dance has kept going, you and Tnkted have kept voting on eachother, and pushed weak cases, then later on backtracked to defend the other if it gets too strong. Make up your mind.
