I'm just playing around before the game really picks up and I have to be more serious.

By the way, my name is BlueyD, and I've been a mafiaholic for... How many years already?

Nahh, this is my second game ever. My first game's filter can be found here: SNMM IX BlueyD filter

I was townie and was in the game until the end. We lost. You can see me both on the offensive and the defensive in there, so it can be a useful resource. I won't tell you how to interpret the filter; if you're curious, go see for yourself.

That's pretty much all I have to say today. Given that an inactive not voting on the last day caused our doom last game, I'm all for lynching the most inactive person unless a good case comes up. So, post your greetings and introductions, ladies!

Are you familiar with the concept of meta?

Here's the idea: It's sometimes possible to get hints on someone's role (green, red, blue) based on comparisons between the player's behavior in the current game and the player's behavior in previous games he has played.

So that's why you've been linked to my filter from my only previous game, and told roughly what happened to me there. This has relevance.

As for the lower part of my post and its reference to a previous game, said game was merely an excellent example of how an inactive player can make a town lose (by not voting, and by providing some hiding space for scum), and why we should in my opinion lynch one on day 1 if no better case comes up.

This is a pretty standard move in a game of mafia as well: Put pressure on people so that they remain active.

I'm sc... Er, I mean townie! Green townie. That's it. Don't lynch me.

Lynch Nova_Terra instead. He's scum. He proved it last game.

Era, you have 9 ingame posts and 8 of them are 1-2 liners. the other one is one where you share suspicions on BlueyD, which is weird because the things that you say make him seem a bit scummy make him seem more town. other than that, you have brought nothing new to the table and agreed with people. You seem to have the time, as you do have 9 posts, use it constructively instead of 1linering please. its scummy.

Lazin, as far as statistics are concerned, it does make gossemerr more scummy xD
No, I think it doesnt make him any more scummy. Why? mafia doesnt like initiating a vote aggressively on someone they know to be town. it could be a clever ploy, but i still see that as normal town play.

As I saw it, the main reason we were voting for Lyter to begin with was to apply pressure and get him to post. It was successful and he did post and he defended himself, so there was really no reason to continue voting for him since he really didn't say anything scummy at all. Therefore, both votes did not really have EQUAL value anymore. I would have liked for Gossemerr to defend himself at that point and get the conversation going, but pretty much everyone either got set on their original Lyter vote for whatever reason or just didn't show up/discuss at all before the deadline. It was an unfortunately inactive time which cost us a lack of additional information in my opinion.

DId you guys really jump on the Lyter bandwagon intending to go all the way and lynch him no matter what? I don't see what the advantage of doing that could possibly be. There's a difference between pressure moves and kill moves.

2. Why would I say this? If I did, then he would have no reason to really post anything of quality without being worried about being lynched.
