Anyway, Mocsta: 1) I don't really want to discuss policy lynching since it defeats the purpose, but we as a town need to be hard on lurkers this game. Last game had some painful lurking (from my comfortable obs perspective) and that was a main reason that the town lost. You don't have to spam up the thread all day, but you do need to give your thoughts/reads/comments often. 2) Pretty sure it's 3 mafia. OP doesn't say anything but the other Newbie games with 13 players all had 3 and anything else is just unbalanced. 3) Not sure, shrimp are good though. | ||

How do u think 3 mafia would go about infiltrating us? & Speaking of policies what is your take on lynch all liars? . *tips hat* Basically, townies should not lie and I have no problem lynching anyone who is lying; In a more advanced game, there might be times that lying is acceptable as town, but it is not needed in this game. Townies, don't lie. What do you mean by "how they would go about infiltrating us"? They're going to act as townie as possible without actually contributing. From experience (XXXI), I wouldn't expect them to offer any controversial opinions because it really is nerve-wracking to be put under suspicion as scum. IMO, end of day votecounts are the best form of evidence against scum. | ||

Obviously it doesn't benefit the town but I don't think it hurts the town that much also. It benefits the scum because it makes it easier for them to blend in but good players should still be able to find the mafia even with lurkers. I can understand "not knowing what to say", but do you agree that providing your opinions on other players and justifying your vote are necessary? Also, what timezone are you in? | ||

Can you elaborate on when you think that a townie lying will "get a mafia member to lose focus"? | ||

With regards to vote counts, I meant more of just looking at the general votecount again, after knowing the lynched player's alignment. For instance, in XXXII, town lynched mafia d1 with only 2 people not voting for him (IIRC). Town should have been able to discern that one of those two was almost certainly scum and win the game from there. If someone ends up flipping town, we can look at who the competing wagon was, who was pushing one lynch over the other, who didn't seem to care about the lynch, etc. and get a lot of useful information. This is also why the d1 lynch is so hard, of course. | ||

For me personally though, this does not make you void from a vote. For the time being ##fos:Sylencia I will re-consider once I have read more comments from yourself. Is there a particular reason you find Syl more suspicious than others who have only posted once? | ||

First, he comes in to the thread without answering the questions that everyone else was answering. Corazon, why didn't you answer those questions or at least provide your opinions on policy? Then, after I ask him specifically some questions, he answered with: On December 19 2012 10:24 cDgCorazon wrote: I think it should be handled on a case to case basis when it comes to lurking. Sometimes it helps when someone just sits back and tries to figure things out instead of discussing every point. If it comes towards the end of the game, maybe the lurker needs to come out of the shadows. However, lying as town is basically team-killing, especially if it gets another townie lynched. However there can be certain circumstances where lying can get a mafia member to lose focus and say something stupid. Thanks for pressing me for an answer I guess, just curious as to why you needed an answer from me =/ His answers here are very noncommittal and he doesn't take a stand (ex: could argue later that he thinks a scumbuddy's lurking is fine). The bolded line what really struck me as odd, though. He gets pretty defensive over me asking him the same questions that everyone else was answering. After I keep asking him questions: On December 19 2012 12:17 cDgCorazon wrote: When I said "lose focus", I meant as in like trying to come out and saying something that would out them as mafia. I admit that it doesn't sound right when I say it, but of course this is my first time on TL Mafia, and it's all theorycrafting for me. He is clearly uncomfortable when I ask him to simply clarify what he meant in his earlier post. He also plays the noob card: "hey guys, I don't know anything, I'm just a noob, don't mind me." He seems generally uncomfortable in the thread with basic questions, something I would expect from a first-time scummer. ##Vote: cDgCorazon | ||
