In the end that's all we can really ask for from players. I know in a lot of newbie mini games it really suffers from 2-3 lurkers/replacements who hold back the game so I'd love to be able to avoid that. As far as active lurking goes - that's definitely something to watch out for. Posting without direction and cluttering the thread doesn't accomplish anything useful for town. I don't think it's 100% reliable though, although I guess none of the other 'common tells' such as being wishy-washy, apologizing/avoiding confrontation, sheeping etc. are. I would argue that those are not tells at all, usually mafia double and triple check their posts to sound as concise and not suspicious as possible. If some one was blundering/being unclear I would learn more towards them being town than mafia. | ||

If we agree to policy lynch, it creates an easy way for scum to mask themselves in the town. And if we agree on a policy, scum can just avoid doing whatever we policy lynch for. Like just posting a bit more than the lurkiest lurker. What I suggest is leaving lurkers for our blues to handle. Scummy lurkers are shot by vigis, null lurkers are checked by cops, towny lurkers are not are a big concern. what exactly was there to discuss 3 posts in? This is how I always play, I only will be convinced after the first day in a no clue game. If you guys don't like how I play then I guess I wont be in this game very long, pretty much all there is to it. | ||

Im used to being lynched day 1 since mafia fear logic and not emotional people. | ||

Logic is taking people's votes and the killings under analysis and making correct lynches based off them. PR roles also come into play here once people actually figure out what roles are in the game and have to attempt to convince people of what they know for sure. | ||

What gives you this feeling? Creating imaginary evidence based on emotions is not logic. What gives me this feeling is that either the town is quick to bandwagon on anything, or the mafia are being stupid and casting all their votes on me early. When I come up townie you can immediately go back and analyze who started the suspicions on me and who bandwagoned. | ||

What has changed? I dont know man, couldn't be my role or anything /sarcasm Mafia feeds off emotion, town feeds off logic. | ||

I came to that conclusion based off this first day's proceedings. Not a single shred of evidence and everyone is so quick to lynch me. Either a mafia bandwagon in the making or a dumb town. | ||

I vote him because I'm just annoyed, the action can be scummy, but his response I can't quite make a read...I'll clarify when he does this: Interesting, you voted, but why? Please explain your logic or whatever you cling to. I will divulge if im about to be lynched, otherwise I do not want the mafia to know how I think yet. Still picking up clues from this first day. Second day is when the real hunting begins. | ||

At this point, Targe isn't even going to be lynched...in that case, will you tell us tomorrow? Or just hold it forever? In the end you should TELL US TODAY, otherwise I'm definitely saying you are scum. If Targe is scum, then I don't see why wouldn't you just make a case and show us. Vayne, your play just doesn't make sense. I actually have a couple of concerns about Targe's play too, so if you give us the analysis then that would be great. shrug, just some brief pickups from him being too agreeable and deciding early on whether people are acting "scummy" or not. Also his push for lynching lurkers is something mafia tend to do early to gain an early foothold and town usually goes along with it, a common rookie mistake. I would rather just no lynch this day as theres almost nothing to go off of, but if I have to vote for now its going to be him Not going to reveal the second part of my analysis just yet because I would like to see where this first lynching goes before I divulge any more of how I think because it could change the mafia playstyle. | ||

Could some one explain to me how no lynching is bad? All the people against that are very suspicious to me for the time being. | ||

If everyone just no lynched day one, we would get pretty much no information. We wouldn't be able to see who voted for who and why. The problem is assuming that the mafia are idiots. Id rather have no information than meaningless information. A common strategy, bussing, is used a lot to "clear" mafia individuals when they lead a lynch against another mafia. Completely worthless reads. | ||
