I have played a few games of "The Resistance" which is kinda similar, perhaps. I'll probably ask the coach a lot of questions though. And I've never used QuickTopics before :p I nervous that I will completely mess everything up, which is why I am reluctant to just join. Is anybody going to be really mad if I am very bad at the game? Will timezones be a problem? So far, there is one person in South Korea but everyone else is in the Americas, whereas I'm in Europe, so I may be asleep when most of the activity is going on (US evening time I guess). This will be my 3rd game and I had less mafia experience than you. Just try your best. You will mess up, and you might get yelled at but you will learn. Time zones are a little annoying but are workable. Just put in quality posts and respond when you can. The most important thing is to be active in the game, nothing kills a game faster than no one talking or someone who abandons the game. | ||

The reason for this is obvious: active scum will try to throw us all off. Lurking scum are bitches, just kill us and dont say sorry. Lurking townies hurt us just as bad (by giving lurking scum people to lurk with) How do you distinguish at this point between lurking scum and lurking town? | ||

Or people who vastly underestimated the amount of time/effort they'd need to put in. Having said that, I won't be nailed down and if I feel a lurker is scum I'll vote them in a second and you all will be like "Aww Vlosk said he doesn't like lynching lurkers in noob games!" I'm more of the opinion that we should pressure lurkers, and once they start posting ease off on them. Lynching a lurker D1 is almost always a townie, especially in a newbie game. | ||

I disagree with this. I would rather have a no lynch than to lynch someone i think is a lurking town. We should only be lynching scum, not bad town. I don't see how lynching a townie lurker is more productive. If you think vote for someone because you think he's a lurking scum... fine, but a lurking town vote doesn't help | ||

Would you rather: a) be at LYLO with one or more players that are completely unreadable b) be at LYLO slightly earlier with players you can at least try to get a read on Lurking townies aren't just "not useful to town", they're an actual liability later in the game. Obviously you should lynch scum reads over lurkers, but you shouldn't give lurkers a free pass either. I should have clarified that this only applies to D1. If it comes down to LYLO then all bets are off and you go with your best shot. | ||

And everyone always wants to know, who... is... that girl? Okay guys, listen up. I can read vloski like a Dr Seuss book. And he is without a doubt town. I've like, never been wrong about him. So, ##vote: Spicydinosaur For all his posts being about game theory (lynching lurkers, etc.) and none of them having any intention of finding scum. I just did a little theory to get the game going. Wasn't much discussion going on before I went to bed. And if you are going to vote me, at least get my theory right... I said pressure lurkers. Anyways, here are some thoughts. @Firere345 seems to be only sheeping. He agrees with Umasi's post about iVLosK! and then asks a pointless mod question about a jester. Reading the first page of the thread tells you what roles are possible in this game and jester is NOT on it. So why ask it? A true newbie to this game would probably read that first page up and down multiple times. So far he feels pretty scummy. @Skanjab1s You throw a vote on me for theory yet your only post is just to throw a vote with nothing else. Town read for now. @Umasi is my most worrisome read right now. He is generating some discussion but a lot of his posts are full of fluff. Taking a wait and see on him. @Yavanna strongest town read atm. Generates discussion and asks good questions. | ||

On June 06 2013 21:43 iVLosK! wrote: What is it that causes you to have a town read on Skanjab if all he's done is "throw a vote with nothing else?" Town read because it would be an incredibly stupid move if he were mafia. His reason for voting me is extremely weak and given his position of having 0 posts before this... it draws too much attention to him. He's not trying to blend in with the crowd and feels more akin to a new townie player than anything else. | ||

Also this "mafia like to hide" shit bothers me, because you're making sweeping generalizations about what everyone does in the same situation. If all mafia acted alike this game would be super easy. Some mafia are just as in-your-face as I can be at times. And it's not just you that's said it, so don't think I'm picking on you. Fair point on the hiding. On June 06 2013 21:53 Skanjab1s wrote: My posts purpose is to lynch scum, something I haven't seen from you. You criticize me for my post yet it gives you a townread on me? Rather contradictory. Not at all contradictory. I can disagree with your reasoning and still find you town by the way you presented it. Just because someone accuses me of scum doesn't automatically mean I think they are scum as well. | ||

On June 06 2013 21:55 Onegu wrote: Skanjab what is your biggest problem with spicydino is he has had good post on the lurker issue, I am getting a town vibe from him. The strongest read I have is on iVlosk as town t this point, but a wish he would curse less. xzav is also giving me a very strong town vibe. Umasi is my only scummy read as he fueled the iV rant even after it most likely should have been moved on from it. Also the whole brocuff thing. Also what are your guys thought on finding a serial killer? Kinda hard to look specifically for the SK day 1. Best bet is to just scum hunt as there really isnt a tell D1 that someone is the SK. | ||

All in all after some hardcore analysis (aka reading) I sadly do know nothing  . Xzavier seemed to be a scum (after following Umasi's accusations) but then he had some awesome pro-town posts. What to do!? What to do!? How do you feel about some of the other players? do you have scum reads... town reads... or what? | ||
