My sons, my residents of Middle Earth,

Today, we all have a mission. We must destroy the evils that walk among us, and we must be united in doing so.

They will use deception. They will use force. And they will not relent. We must be careful, otherwise we may be tricked. But, we cannot be complacent; we must fight. And fight we shall.

Let's get this game started!

As always, some general advice:

1) Town should stay focused. A few talking points should dominate a day cycle but never so many that it's basically everyone posting suspicions on everyone else, leading to "post-by-post analysis" of 5+ people. A disorganized town is a plus for the mafia.

2) Don't rely on power roles. Assume we have none and go from there.

3) Personally I like a bit of civility but I do understand some people like to be aggressive and it has it's uses. But let's keep the atmosphere positive instead of negative. Negative atmosphere will be detrimental to town play and at the end of the day that isn't good.


Point 3 in particular should be on everyone's mind. Palmer really messed town up in the previous game by basically making Day 2 a huge mess with over-aggression and spam. And then basically the only reason mafia was lynched in that game was due to blue power, breaking point 2. Let's NOT bank on blues to win the game this time.

Also, ##vote: Greymist

asking for the ring outright? tsk tsk. My steel and iron comes for you.


I agree with this.

##Vote: Greymist


Well looks like I succeeded in getting discussion going.
Out of the three people who voted for me immediately, only Dr. H and chaises gave a good reason. Daz, any other reason rather than "I agree," or is your vote a sheep vote?


I actually had stated my reasons regarding the ring earlier I just didn't vote for you then.


My brethren, I have only one thing to say to this:

Liar.

Debating about who should get the ring and what each role can or cannot do at the moment is pointless at the current time. However, I do like one of the plans that was proposed by a few people: having the person who successfully passed on the ring claim themselves. This way, we can enable a 'chain' to be made - i.e. the first player can confirm the second player once the second player has passed on the ring themselves. This is all dependent on the assumption that evil players cannot pass the ring themselves which as Radfield pointed out, is probably a true assumption.

Given this, however, this plan would probably only be effective for the first few 'passes' and perhaps near the end of the game when town circles become more clear. The risk after the first few days that the person holding the ring is killed, or has the ring stolen (which is a possible role according to the OP) makes the plan ineffective.

Therefore, I think that such a plan should work for the first 2 or 3 days to confirm at least one or two people. Any thoughts or ideas about this? I haven't fully fleshed this out yet (i.e. the possibility of fake claims is strong), but its probably a better discussion than the arbitrary finger-pointing going on at the moment.


I'm not sure if you realise it or not but that plan sounds awfully anti-town.
How do we guarantee that even those 1-3 people can pass the ring in the first place?
And even if they can, how does that confirm anybody?

In this game, only people with roles that relate to the ring should bother searching for it secretly, and if the ring is passed it will either be the fruits of their efforts or a complete accident.
As for the effects of the ring, there is no real way to find out, the only people that know are the ring bearers and mentioning that you have it/explaining what it does is virtually ensuring you get killed overnight in the hopes that you can't pass it.

First, if the players in question cannot pass the ring, then the plan does not go into effect. A player only announces that they had the ring in the previous turn. If they can't pass it on, they stay silent and we are none the wiser.

Second, given Radfield's argument that evil players probably don't have the mechanic to pass the ring (otherwise they would pass it amongst themselves), if we can get two successive passes, that would confirm at least one player. The danger of course is passing to a mafia player, but that probability initially is small.

At any rate, I think it is pretty likely that the ring will worm into non-town hands (whether 3rd party or mafia) given that non-town players will constantly search and probe every turn. There's no way to comprehensively prevent them from getting the ring, therefore, why not get some benefit to it.

Finally, another point that can be made is that the player who passes on the ring and reveals themselves can also reveal what the ring does. Given that every player already covets it, it would be nice to at least have that information.


Give me the ring.

Otherwise, this scum dies.

You're playing absolutely detrimental to town. This is not pro-town play, it is not how we catch scum. It's how shit gets stirred and people always let bad scum like this slide (coag in countless games) because they figure "oh no way scum would act so brashly or bad".

At the very least, if you aren't scum, you are a stellar example of how town players should never act


Bitch please. I can make lists too.

1. Give me the ring.
2. I haven't alluded to why I want it.
3. TranceStorm is scum, it's obvious enough. I don't need to provide reasons when he sets himself up as he's already done.

Are you saying that his activity is a good reason why he should be a policy lynch, for being detrimental to village planning and strategy? I sort of agree, but TranceStorm's strategy only means that it exposes townies, because it's easy enough for a scum who cannot wield the ring's power to its full extent to be deprived of it by or pass it to a bigger scum who can actually make use of it if the initial ring-bearer throws it to them, which would blow the whole tactic out of the water. Also, it could have negative repercussions by allowing a nominally cleared scum player to actually take out townies from within.

Disagree. There's no need to be so blatant as a VI. Perhaps he just wants the ring.... either way though, he's shown himself to be active and contributory in his past few games. Either he picks it up or he doesn't, but we're not lynching based on him spamming about the ring.

##Vote Greymist

I don't think our mod would hand the ring off to an evil player day 1. It's probably with a Frodo , Bilbo, or Gollum if we have any of those roles. So we know Greymist either has a protown power that is greatly amplified by the one ring, or is part of a neutral/evil faction that needs the ring for some reason.

And Chaoser is right. We can't spend this whole game talking about roles. Scumhunting is #1.



These are foolish reasons to be voting for a player. It's far more often townies who make posts like that than it is mafia. You both know better than that.

I don't understand the hostility for Trancestorm. [/QUOTE]

THIS GUY IS SCUM.

He thinks, "wherebugsgo has a posting restriction"=he must be scum.

Hey genius, guess what, I'm not scum just because I have a posting restriction. I voted TranceStorm because he had a terrible anti-town plan (which was super obvious when reading his posts) but your vote reason on me is even worse than mine.

I figured people would pick up on my bad vote, which would lead to worse votes on me. This guy here is trying to get town cred by saying he pointed out the "ring rubbish" before Chaoser, then admitting he jumped on the greymist bandwagon, then finally saying I'm suddenly leaning more scum when I haven't posted anything (due to being asleep). His vote on me is almost entirely based on the fact that I have a posting restriction.

##unvote

I also want to call attention to heist's post, he was accusatory of Navillus having done "the most scummy thing" in the game so far yet he didn't even vote him.

As a side note, it would be rather fun if WBG is indeed Gollum and part of his role is asking for the ring in every single post he makes. And I know I just said that theorycrafting gets us nowhere near to catching mafia but I can't help myself.


This guy is good.

Real good.

Also, none of the currently discussed lynch targets are viable. They are all easy ones. I'd rather go for a random lynch out of the remaining players.

No more discussion of the Ring. It's just leading us to the same conversations that we have already covered and is providing a great atmosphere that scum can hide in without having to talk about anything else. It's good to see that we're moving more into player analysis.


NO. Party pooper.

wherebugsgo - Jester or Village Idiot is my immediate thought. There is no way he is this bad.


I read this, then read the name at the top of the post and laughed.

What would you like me to say? The discussion regarding the ring and its mechanics is fucking useless speculation? There I said it. The only thing I saw comment worthy was Bug's request for the ring. He has since claimed to be Sauron and Gollem. But you guys want to keep speculating on the mechanics of the ring.


So comment on something else. There are enough posts by this point that you can generate some productive discussion by scumhunting and analyzing. We've got at least ten pages of constant posting, so go through that and find some scum instead of complaining when you are rightfully called out for not contributing.

Read what I just posted. Or do you require me to say: WTF IS UP WITH BUGS??????? Discuss.


Already discussed it. VI or Jester. Agree?



Disagree. There's no need to be so blatant as a VI. Perhaps he just wants the ring.... either way though, he's shown himself to be active and contributory in his past few games. Either he picks it up or he doesn't, but we're not lynching based on him spamming about the ring.

Let's get this game started!

As always, some general advice:

Show nested quote +
1) Town should stay focused. A few talking points should dominate a day cycle but never so many that it's basically everyone posting suspicions on everyone else, leading to "post-by-post analysis" of 5+ people. A disorganized town is a plus for the mafia.

2) Don't rely on power roles. Assume we have none and go from there.

3) Personally I like a bit of civility but I do understand some people like to be aggressive and it has it's uses. But let's keep the atmosphere positive instead of negative. Negative atmosphere will be detrimental to town play and at the end of the day that isn't good.


Point 3 in particular should be on everyone's mind. Palmer really messed town up in the previous game by basically making Day 2 a huge mess with over-aggression and spam. And then basically the only reason mafia was lynched in that game was due to blue power, breaking point 2. Let's NOT bank on blues to win the game this time.

Also, ##vote: Greymist

asking for the ring outright? tsk tsk. My steel and iron comes for you.

Greymist straight up asking for the ring day 1 doesn't bode well for him.

##Vote Greymist

I don't think our mod would hand the ring off to an evil player day 1. It's probably with a Frodo , Bilbo, or Gollum if we have any of those roles. So we know Greymist either has a protown power that is greatly amplified by the one ring, or is part of a neutral/evil faction that needs the ring for some reason.

And Chaoser is right. We can't spend this whole game talking about roles. Scumhunting is #1.



These are foolish reasons to be voting for a player. It's far more often townies who make posts like that than it is mafia. You both know better than that.

I don't understand the hostility for Trancestorm.


You've been stalking me!

If you do have a post restriction, take a look at personality mafia and how detrimental they were to town. Even if you do have a restriction, doesn't mean you get a free pass to be useless and not contribute.


I'm not useless.

I'm more use than half the town has been so far. Started discussion, no? Can't be a bad thing.

Posting restrictions are definitely in place.

As for me jumping on the gray bandwagon I actually pointed out the ring rubbish before Choaser but I am currently leaning on WBG being the more likely scum member now.

Ill be gone for the next couple of hours so sorry about any sort of inactivity.


THIS GUY IS SCUM.

He thinks, "wherebugsgo has a posting restriction"=he must be scum.

Hey genius, guess what, I'm not scum just because I have a posting restriction. I voted TranceStorm because he had a terrible anti-town plan (which was super obvious when reading his posts) but your vote reason on me is even worse than mine.

I figured people would pick up on my bad vote, which would lead to worse votes on me. This guy here is trying to get town cred by saying he pointed out the "ring rubbish" before Chaoser, then admitting he jumped on the greymist bandwagon, then finally saying I'm suddenly leaning more scum when I haven't posted anything (due to being asleep). His vote on me is almost entirely based on the fact that I have a posting restriction.

##unvote
##vote Drazerk.


I also want to call attention to heist's post, he was accusatory of Navillus having done "the most scummy thing" in the game so far yet he didn't even vote him.
