Get over it WoS, one smurf in a mini is nothing. And smurfs mean nothing, if you can't read a smurf you can't play the game. Meta is only a single tool and we rely too heavily on it anyway.

Suck it up boy! Smurfs build character.

I still think there are two.

You are right, however, that I should be relying more on in-game methods to read people than meta. I think it's more that I find it personally more fun when I have a RAPPORT with the people in the games I play (and as such would need to know who they are to continue that)...? Though with that attitude I suppose I would never make new friends with newer players.

Anyway, welcome one and all to ## mafia, where I will fucking own you, whatever team I may be on.

Oh for fuck sakes.
This one is a product of lack of sleep and I could swear I have some sort of aphasia.
Whenever I type out mafia posts I type in completely different words than the ones I mean---although that doesn't explain wtf that was.

I'm ready to /out from shame.

Here's the thing.
I'll be treating OOHCHILD as a smurf whether he actually is or not, because this isn't a newbie game. I won't go searching out his identity, but I will assume he knows what he is doing, since he should, smurf or not.

I mean... you can. But if he talks like a newbie walks like a newbie and quacks like a newbie, lynching him for being a newbie is probably sub-optimal. Unless ofcourse, you can show that he's faking it (shouldn't be so hard) or he's being newbie-scummy.

Just ignoring how experienced someone is will lead to bad conclusions

I dunno I've been burned a fair amount recently by attempting to read someone's play based on how 'new' they are. (This may of course just mean I'm bad.

)
At this point I'd probably rather assume (or force) high standards if they're joining a game outside of newbies.

EBWOP: FAIL

Are you using a particular Mafia setup (e.g. C9++) or can we expect Drunk Mason Paranoid Gun Owner Day Vigilante Lovers with Bulletproof?

With a game like this, I would honestly expect nothing that could necessarily be looked up in a mafia database anywhere.

Many of the game that have '##' type roles are the HEAVY themed games, like the 'Pick-their-powers,' or the games hosted by Greymist. Maybe look for those if you'd like an example...?

Hai guise. I miss being mafia (or even 3P).

My power is boring and semi-useless.
I'll use it on somebody later in the day I thinks.

It's super pro-town.

Be back in a couple hours-ish.

I find the fact that Pandain even gets a slight scumread from my opening post hilarious. He's played games with me and should know almost every single opening post of mine is along the lines of what I rolled and I often whine about something, often what I rolled.

To me Pandain it looks more like YOU are the one who is trying to contribute something to look good---I don't find anything you picked out regarding me OR Rayn scum-indicative in any way, and as such I find your posting incredibly weak thus far.

Oh and I suppose I should have mentioned this before the game started but considering my not-so-great play and the embarrassing length of my filter in Thug, I plan on keeping things way more concise than usual. I do not plan to be in the top few posters lengthwise this game. Make of that what you will.

Anyway I'm tempted to fuck off until whatever Sentinel did resolves but I suppose that wouldn't be very helpful. Guess we'll see.

Pandain has a point on rayn though. He uses his power and then instantly goes "w00ps, shouldn't have done that"

I don't like it.

That's not what Pandain said was scummy.
He said Rayn's instant use of his power was scummy. Why is that, exactly?
There is not very much to go on at all and he says things like Rayn calling out weird logic without immediately pursuing him is scummy in the first hour of the game.

Overall his posting reeks of someone trying too hard right now. I've done this before as mafia, for the record---it's really easy to fabricate some easy shit, and then make an excuse for yourself to fuck off for a while by complaining that there's 'nothing else to talk about,' or 'no one to talk to,' in the hopes that people will assume his early and active contributions are town-aligned and forget about him.

Just popped in to say ##Paranoia I don't like your play this game either Prom.
Your first post yelling at everybody not to be powering everybody up....I completely agree with.

I just wouldn't have expected it to come from you.
You take it a step further though---you say not only is powering other people up dumb, but you say it's policy lynchable.

Have you pursued this course of action in your questioning of all of the people who have done so thus far?

And THEN, not 4 posts later, you explain to everybody how to power you up.

This reminds me of the very first ever game I played with you Prom, LX, in which you created some horseshit RNG talk early 'just to get discussion started' and you were promptly lynched for it---and flipped red.

So Prome, your reads list at the start of the game. All I remember is you saying you'd lynch me based on my entry to the thread. I don't see you pursuing your policy lynches, your apparent scumreads or your 'discussion.' Funny part is' you never actually call me scum, you just say you'd lynch me based on me entering the thread and leaving, and even THEN you don't pursue it, and have not mentioned me even once since then.

Your activity is pretty fantastic and all, and I get that you think Pandain tryharding is also pretty fantastic, but that don't mean shit imo. It's funny though, you say you'd rather base your read of Pandain off of what you get from him this game only and ignore his past meta, but you're ok to base your weak early read of me on meta even though you haven't played a game with me in ages?
You are incredibly inconsistent just from your first few posts and I don't like it. I don't like it one bit sir.
Care to discuss?
