Lynch Mafia If I could offer you only one tip for the future, lynching mafia would be it. The long-term benefits of lynching mafia have been proven by towns, Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable Than my own countless mislynches. I will dispense this advice... now. Enjoy the power and beauty of being newb, oh, never mind. You will not understand the players and posters of your first game Until they're jaded but trust me, in a couple years you'll look back At games you played and recall in a way you can't grasp now How much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really played. You are NOT as bad as you imagine. Don't worry about the next game or worry knowing that worrying Is as effective as trying to solve a scum team By throwing darts. The real troubles in mafia are apt to be things That never crossed your newbie mind That kind of blindsides you at 4 a.m. hours before a deadline. Do one thing every day that amuses you. Read Don't be reckless with other player's words. Don't put up with players who are reckless with yours. Analyze Don't waste you time on lurkers Sometimes town's ahead, sometimes town's behind, The game is long and in the end, it's only with the mafia. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults, If you succeed in doing this, tell me how Keep your old game PMs, throw away your old thread subscriptions Write The most interesting players I know Didn't play mafia until 22 years old Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know do not. Get plenty of rest, be kind to your eyes. You'll miss them when they're gone. Maybe you'll carry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll teach newbies, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll leave after 40 games, maybe you'll gloat over mafia corpses on your 7th straight town victory. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much Or berate yourself either Your lynches are half chance, so are everybody else's. Enjoy your hydra, use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it, or what other players think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own. Talk, even if you have noplace to do it in but your own PM inbox Read the OP even if you don't intend to obey it. Do not read newbie guides they will only make you self-conscious. Get to know your idols, you never know when they'll quit for good, Be nice to your game hosts, they're your best link to future games, And the most likely to help you in the future. Understand that mafia games come and go, But a previous few, who should hold on (MAFIA LI - ALWAYS REMEMBER) Work hard to find the gaps in the mafia's playstyle. For as the better you get, the more you need the players You knew when you started this game. Live in the General Forum once but leave before it makes you too hard. Live in the Blogs Forum once but leave before it makes you too soft. Enjoy Accept certain inalienable players Mafiastars will rise, game hosts will philander, you too will get good And when you do, you'll fantasize about when you were new Mafiastars were nobodies, game hosts were stoic, and newbies respected veterans. Respect the veterans Do not expect anyone else to support you Maybe you have a Skype group, maybe you'll have an amazing Hydra partner. But you never know when your time in this game might run out. Don't mess too much with your meta Or by the time you hit Day 3 you're going to look like you're playing Day 8 Be careful whose advice you take but be patient with those who supply it Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing for roles from the game thread, pointing them out, getting them night killed, And making a bigger deal about it than it is. But trust me on the mafia. -OO + Show Spoiler + Everybody's Free (To wear sunscreen) | ||

Moo you're going to have to stop referencing on-going games or I'm going to be forced to request a modkill. Fair warning. Regarding this whole Mootrain, I'm not participating for now. Frankly Dr's vote on Moo was shitty anyway (just placed with no reasoning) so I can see a townMocsta getting shitty about it just as much as I can see a scumMocsta getting shitty about it. I want some actual content before I start to analyze peoples' intentions. That said, from what content there IS in the thread I'm liking On March 13 2013 08:39 NewbieXXXI_ObsQT wrote: for obvious reasons why are you willing to lynch bullshit instead of scum? the least. Maybe it's me, but the implication that FT thinks Moology is scum is pretty plain - this reads as an attempt to stir shit, and I don't fucking like it. Also the CastingGolem, while cute, is doing nothing to add to the thread aside from commentary which is unnecessarily lengthening the thread. Not scummy, but I'd like you two to play the game instead of commentate it. KTHX | ||

You say I haven't scum hunted, when its early Day1 and you're the only hydra online... Think about what you are saying Oats before you speak up pl0x. All you guys have done in regards to moology is throw down a stupid vote, and disregard all context. Theres a simple reason; VE hydra & iamp hydra said marv vote was stupid. I also happen to agree with that reason. Because the vote was bullshit in the first place. Why you guys decided to run with it, I have no idea. But go ahead and enlighten me. (moc) Whoa there tiger. I never said marv vote was stupid. That's a either a misunderstanding or a LIE. I said that NewbieXXXIObsQT's comment on marv's read like stirring up shit. Something I was hoping someone would comment on...but no one did. NewbieXXXIObsQT - please explain what you mean by "lynching bullshit instead of lynching scum". | ||

My point is that even if we are the only 2 talking and you outright claim scum in thread, does it mean I wait for the other 7 before 'Oh mocsta claimed scum *vote mocsta*' No right? So you being scummy is not dependent on the other people in the game. I dont need you to tell me how to play, I can do it fine on my own. OE, can you read Mocsta's posting and tell me if you think that they are townie? Oats. Whoa whoa whoa...did you just ask one head of a hydra if your attack on the other head of the hydra is justified? What do you think he's going to say? Like.........really? + Show Spoiler + Really? | ||

Holy shit this actually happened? I thought it was a joke. I'm not even going to bother getting excited. This hydra should be called "WillNeverReadVEsPostsEver". | ||

I'm trying to figure out if there's a difference between Named VTs claiming today and Named VTs just counterclaiming scum if they try and fakeclaim it at lynch time. Is there any? I guess it would depend on the circumstances. What if we just agree to go ahead and lynch Named VTs if they are counterclaimed on the block? It could be a thing where there are more than one Named VT, but it would be the same thing if two Named VTs claimed now wouldn't it? Eehhhhhhhhh actually I like it. If the Named VTs claim now then scum cannot use it as a fakeclaim later unless they do it right now, and if they do they run the risk of being outted as scum to the other PRs if there are any. We know that there is a maximum of 2 blues, so if 2 NVTs claim and there's a cop for instance, then he gets a guaranteed scum check that night...or if there's a doctor then there's a 100% chance that there's a mafia in the 2 NVT claims which is also powerful even if the doctor doesn't claim to out him. Named VTs should claim. | ||

I didn't like that it didn't come attached to any kind of reasoning whatsoever, but that's not really indicative of scum at this stage of the game...just annoying in a game with half the players not posting yet. | ||

On March 13 2013 20:11 WittyHydraName wrote: Oats/Thrawn, whoever threw down the vote on Golems My other head asked you a question at the top of this page: Otherwise, VE, you seem to be making sense. Is this the game we we're dreaming about in the Hero mafia scum QT where we both roll town? In that post you were asking if one hydra head was asking for an opinion from the other head, he wasnt. He was asking for your opinion on his case on mocsta (OE is you.) I assumed OE was "OmniEulogy", the other head of Mocsta's hydra? Ugh, I can't keep the names straight - I'd really like it if everyone just referred to everyone else by the name of the slot they're in. Anyway, his case on Moo seems driven by emotion - Mocsta/Oats have kinda a little history of going head to head as townies (Nomination, I thnk they did so in LX at one point?) so I wouldn't be surprised at all to find that's what's going on here. I'm more interested in what comes out of FiveTouch/WillNeverReadVEsPostsEver(DirkHardpec). Presumably, that's 2 hydras with four players who should know better than they appear to. TheCastingGolems are looking a little bit better - they're at least providing opinions now, which is better than before. I'll admit that the casting style is actually kinda endearing too. For now, I'm also going to ##Vote: DirkHardpec because his posts are basically begging for votes. So fuck it, why not oblige? -VE | ||

But I do want your thoughts on WittyHydra, and what you make of Bug's "trolly" start to the festivities. Throw in any other players you want. Oh, and all of this recent posting has been all hapa. Your post alone wasn't what I found scummy, but the fact is that iamp exhibited a similar mindset (trying to incite nonproductive argument in the thread) and then you came in and did almost the same thing. Call it me sensing a pattern in your slot's behavior and reacting to it. I can buy "feeling silly" from Hapa, but iamp hasn't responded so it's meh…Hapa's posting makes me feel a bit better about the slot. DirkFuckHerGentlyHardpec + Show Spoiler + <3DougAdams/TenaciousD There's not much to go on with regard to WittyName. He has a similar problem with (I presume) iamp's posting, but did not share my opinion on the Golems' cast-posting before it started to contain content. :/ I just want more from that slot honestly. And I want more from the Moologists. I'm writing off his feud with Oats for now, but I'd like to know who he thinks is scum and why before completely ruling him out for today. | ||
