Hey guys, let try and keep the jokes down a little, it just ends up clogging up the thread, something that just helps mafia. In terms of policy lynching a lurker on d1(and in general), I'm against it simply because it lets maf chill (as they know how we will act) rather then being on their toes and hopefully making mistakes that we can punish.
As for my idea on on lurkers, I think pressure is key as there is really no reason for town to avoid discussion.
Anyway, greetings from Australia

Question: Can the town roleblocker block like a town vigilante / maf roleblocker roleblock maf?

On my question, I'm a curious guy! I got lynched d3 and it's been several months since I last played, so I might be a little sketchy on some rules.

Time for my first scum read: heavenz

I think he is scum because:

Willingness to bring up useless information/ ask for pointless information that is irrelevant to the scumhunt

here's our last newby game: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=426146
Bereft and Blurry were town and I was mafia.

So regarding Blurry, he's very reasonable, gives good imput, but keeps a rather conservative position. He was killed night1 so, I only know his day1 play. The spectators agreed that he was the "obvious" lynch choice, because he played good town (which wasn't that obvious to the players). I would expect of him to play a good townman here as well.

Bereft has the right intention, but he was quite busy, so some decision came hasty. I would expect him to play active, calling players out who are not activly participating and pursuing town goals.

So, assuming that both are town, I'ld say we have good chances. Even if they aren't town, and they are participating well it's an advantage.

gogogo, everybody post something

have you participated in games before this? What are your experiences with tl mafia games?

In regards to your first post I feel that the last game is pretty irrelevant as hopefully they learned something in between game. Furthermore, this information is even more useless if they are scum, in which case it can put us off them completely.
On your second point we really don't want everyone posting their previous experiences of mafia as it just clogs up the thread.
He wants to clog up the thread, a scum tell

the reason why it's a good strat to threaten to lynch all lurkers is to not have any lurkers in the first place. Nothing is easier for scum then just to drop a few summaries and make a post about who they suspect and then stay out of everything for the most part.

What he leaves out in this good plan of his is that lynching lurkers gives us no information and therefore completely wastes the lynch, meaning that mafia gets to kill someone effectively for free
He wants us to waste our lynch, a scum tell

It's true that we could get lucky, but I feel that it's rather unlikely as

I'll try and explain my last point better.

If we policy lynch maf will be able to infulence the vote to a townie relatively easily. At the end of the ly

I accidentally posted that -__-

At the end of the lynch,we have gained nothing and a townie is dead.

However, if we lynch first on reads and use how much people lurk as a part of these reads we will always gain information as we have people that will oppose the lynch, latch on a little too easily and of course the person who first proposes the lynch

On baja, I agree, especially since otherwise he sheeps other people as much as possible HOWEVER he did mention his inability to post at certain times which is his saving grace atm

I would like to hear JonnyLaw's and onlywonderboy's scum reads as neither are looking particularly clean atm.

Same goes for Jayte and xIvanJ, but really I would like them to post anything at all

I think I got scared into writing one liners due to people claiming we were going to lynch non-active people. But, tis true, I should have transitioned into writing more useful posts. This is still my first game so I'm trying to take a lot of it in. I have pretty much zero knowledge of everyone in this game so getting a read off of people on a relatively few number of pages is proving more difficult than I had hoped. That said, stand outs right now:

Jayte: Joke post to start off the game, hasn't contributed anything of value. Isn't trying to cause chaos in the town, but his absence is questionable. Mentions being busy with work, could just be throwing that out so we don't seem suspicious

MLuneth: Had that odd question to start, could have easily asked a coach instead of putting it in the thread.

playerboy: Great analysis of all the players. But, imo, it seemed like a post that was trying too hard to put the spotlight on "Hey, look, I'm helping the town!" I'm definitely not saying he should be a candidate for the first lynch, but just something to keep in mind in the future.

Mate, all you've done here is repeat some one liners and suck up to playerboy, now I've read some of your LoL articles and they're pretty good, so I believe that you can do significantly better than that.

Super Scummy post as it ads nothing at all to any discussion
