Hm if we don't vote to lynch someone Day 1 we end up in Day 2 where the Scum get a free kill in exchange for information that the cop people can get. However, how do the cop people communicate their findings to us? And how would we tell if the cop is a real cop or just someone pretending to be them?

One of the greatest experiences driving a car is reversing. It where man takes control of a multi-tonne steel behemoth that is a feat of engineering and honed into being a dedicated transport designed to move forward, but forces it to move in the completely opposite direction that its life purpose was built for. It where a driver can show their skill as care and dedication must be shown for it is a delicate act. But most importantly, it is a time where action is taken.

And reversing is exactly what I think of when I read WaveofShadow's first post for it encapsulates all that I list above. I agree with Cixah that declaring to be Vanilla Townie and asking for protection is extremely weird. The scum I assume all know who each other are right? Or else they might actually kill one of their own during night? Like having the Goon kill the big boss grand daddie is just weird. So they already know who all the non-scum Townies are anyway.

When it comes Night and the scum choose who to kill they're taking a guess anyway who they want to kill. So asking for protection if you're Vanilla is super weird because shouldn't you want the Doctor to protect someone else? Like if the Mafia go after Wave ok fine we lose a boring no one. If they go after someone else there's now a higher chance that they kill someone important because they have a smaller list of Townies too look at. (Simple math. Picking the cop randomly out of say 3 people is more likely than picking randomly out of 4 people.)

The way I see it, calling yourself out like that makes no logical sense from the perspective of a vanilla townie. And a vanilla townie has no reason not to be logical because their motives are really straightforward. So Wave is either a Townie with a special role, or actually scum trying to fake it until he makes it. This is made more likely by the fact that as the most experienced TL mafia player* it makes sense for Dandel lon to give him a role. This is what makes me think, if he does have a role how would be communicate it? I am still not sure what the solution would be, but the idea seems to be just pretend to be a regular townie.

So we again reverse as we go from Wave being vanilla townie into scum or townie with a role. But I think the biggest change when you grab the gear stick and shift into reverse should be to drive away from Wave and focus on something else. Continued focus only acts as a red fish of the herring persuasion.

In reality all serious arguments postulated by all here aren't really of much use on Day 1 where there is no real substantial information that can be gleaned as of yet with feints, counter feints and Xanatos Gambits** galore.

The only real indicator you can have that allows a simple binary yes/no on Day 1 without trying to double read yourself is level of engagement. Whether town or town-pretending scum you should be wanting to be engaged in the game. Engagement is not a matter of post counts, but more about how you post in my opinion.*** It is like questioning who a real driver is. The man with the most expensive and compensating car is not a real driver unless he truly understands how to reverse. It is a win all around - if they are scum trying to hide we kill them and if not we get rid of a person who's not really interested in the game and have a batter game!

So reverse we shall away from the focus of "he said, she said" details and to engagement. Lord Tolkein, AsmodeusXI and Requizen have the absolute worst engagement out of everyone here. Out of them Lord Tolkein has played 3 games and the other have never played before.**** I honestly think we should be talking about them. Asmo has said he will post again later but Tolkein and Req's posts have just been weird.


Footnotes:
* I assume these numbers are correct? My mod tools say most of his posts are in Mafia so I'm willing to believe it.
** Obligatory TVTropes warning.
*** Cause you know, real life and stuff like being a yuppie.
**** Again referring to that post from Alzadar on the assumption it is correct.

I have a real problem with this post. Mostly, I think there's a lot of parroting and bandwagoning on in regards to Wave who isn't really even the biggest scum read for me. You talk about logic, and then pretend that dandel ion would specifically pick Wave to be mafia/a role just because of his veteran status. That cannot be true at all. The roles are all randomized. We all know this. There is no fudging in between. I have serious problems with that

I may have completely missed that post by Dandel Ion. So I will reverse what I said about that.

Like what the fuck was the point of your entire post?

We should all reverse away from arguing over "he said, she said" on Day 1 because it is really pointless and focus on how engage people are instead. And I tried explaining what I thought about your first post. Totally accept that roles are RNG'ed so that part is wrong but I stand by the rest of my post.

You need to reverse away from picking fights with everyone yo.

If Cixah is really scum he gets lynched Day 2 so panicking is fine. We shouldn't be trying to lynch him Day 1.

Moonbear's post was fairly terror. I hoped he would provide more. So moonbear, who are your top scum now that you know this game isn't rigged? There's no way only one person is scum to you right now right?

Based purely on nothing but gut feeling (this is Day 1 what is there to base anything on?)
  • Alzadar
  • Lord Tolkein
  • GhandiEAGLE


Maybe Wave but he seems to me more like a jerk who wants to fight everyone than anything else. Idk.

Question: How does it work that there are like 16 roles (3 green, 6 blue, 5 red, 2 black) but 14 people playing?

Right but does that mean we don't really know what roles are actually in the game? So for example is it possible that, say, we have no Medic?

Asmo, consider that the conclusions MB draws on me have nothing to do with the misunderstanding at all, nor does his current three 'feel-based' scumreads.

My answer of which was constructed was to answer a question put forward to be my one Mr. Ketchup. I answered and I also prefaced that they are 100% not based on anything because D1 arguments are really silly anyway.

Google says it means going fishing for bluefish which is confusing. Does this mean something specific in mafia?

4) jeff you're not town. Just not "scum scum" because your behavior sucks if you're mafia. In newbie mafia in particular, mafia will probably hide by posting like Alaric or Mordek or Moonbear. Newbie mafia aren't inclined to troll as their first instinct

If I was scum trying to pretend to be town I'd just play along and bandwagon with someone else. Because why would I want to draw attention to myself. Idk if it's a crime to ask questions as a new player but at least I make more interesting posts than the stuff other people have posted instead of being boring and trying to argue over trivial details on Day 1 that don't really mean anything.

Fair points. I don't like your trolly crap, but I'm pretty sure you're town.

MB get back here and give me a reason not to kill you.

Because it's way too convenient to start picking on the people who make outlandish posts than the people actually trying to cause chaos and work against the town. The entire Day 1 has just been shifting gears around trying to accuse people over super trivial matters instead of anything important with various people trying to take control and manually drive what the town should be thinking instead of just letting it happen automatically.

I've been busy zzz. Just because I write like Bill Gross doesn't make me scum. Focus on the people trying to be disruptive instead. Read into what people are doing and not people write on D1 imo since there's so little to read into anyway. You guys are getting so twitchy about each shadow in the forest as if there are ghosts as you drive through and ignoring the wolf howls right outside.

You haven't responded all day today, and you expect me to believe you when you randomly join in to vote ghandieagle AFTER there was already effort put in by tolkien and wave to get jeff lynched? Yea okay dude.

Y'all m'fk'ers act like they forgot about Dre real life and the fact I mentioned Ghandi before anyway
