Since mafia already knows, I've been roleblocked Forgive me if I don't believe you. If you were roleblocked, why would you even admit to that? The Roleblocker wouldn't know that he had successfully found a Blue. You could have just stayed quiet and used your power tonight. My opinion is that you're actually Mafia and you're worried that you might get lynched today. I've pointed out that you've been suspicious and now you're panicking. Shouldn't a roleblocked person always out themselves? What is there to gain by keeping quiet? Since subversion has not roleclaimed, mafia should still have no new information, while it possibly helps town. Well, let's consider what you're saying. If he is telling the truth, then what has the Town learned by Subversion revealing that he's been Roleblocked? It let's us know that the set-up is: 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Mafia Goon, 5 Town, 1 Medic, 1 Detective. It also let's the Mafia know that Subversion is a Blue. That makes him a target for tonight. Now consider if Subversion is Red and is lying. A good reason for him to lie about being roleblocked is if there is no Roleblocker in the game. That would mean that the set-up is one of: 2 Mafia Goon, 1 Medic, 6 Town 2 Mafia Goon, 1 Detective, 6 Town He can safely lie about being roleblocked since there is 1 Blue out there. If the true Blue reveals himself, then he's a target for tonight. Subversion will dodge the lynch especially if he gets support from his Mafia buddies. Too bad I can't vote or I'd register my vote now. Don't believe Subversion's sub-version of the truth. | ||

Greens don't have abilities so they can't be blocked. If Subversion was telling the truth, then he can only be a Medic or a DT. If he was a Medic, then it only matters if he was trying to save LSB/Kavdragon. If he was a DT, then he didn't get his check. Anyway, I don't believe him so it doesn't matter. He's doing this to dodge the lynch. | ||

He's doing this to dodge the lynch. Actually I'm wondering if you've read the rules kingjames01. They clearly state: Mafia Roleblocker Each night you may send in a hit and roleblock one target. A role blocked target is informed that they were role blocked whether they are green or blue. You may role block the same person on consecutive nights. And it can't be a redact. The time of your post is 16:00, and the last edit is at 12:00. So regardless of whether or not Subversion is telling the truth, that line of reason is faulty.

Giving out information during night 1 really hurt town in experimental mini mafia (I was scum that game). We had a medic claim, another blue claim, I forget what else, but me and my scumbuddies were laughing it up in our IRC as town shot themselves in one foot then the other. KJ might remember better. The gist of my thought is: any info you give out at night can be used against town, and can't be used by town until morning. So wait until morning. Take this time to go over the thread with your partner or something. However if anyone really wants to go on being vocal and jolly go right ahead, it certainly will give me more to analyze. That experimental mini mafia game was not really so standard, given that there were an inordinate number of action roles. F11 setting is very refined, and remember that through the presence/absence of a roleblocker, Mafia already know that this is one of two settings. It would help if town could now do the same. | ||

And I'm surprised people hasn't picked up on the scumminess of aidnai's suggestion that the town shouldn't discuss anything during the night. First he says it's sad that there's such lack of activity, then he encourages town to stay inactive? Discussion is the only weapon for townies with no information. Whether it is done during the night or during the day doesn't make any difference - this just looks like a subtle effort by a red to sabotage the town's efforts. | ||

Roleblock claim is legit: We are in setup 1 or 2, incog/sub are town. Roleblock claim is fake: -Incog/Sub are mafia and didn't use roleblock (unlikely imo) -Incog/Sub are mafia and don't have roleblock (setup 3/4 guaranteed to have exactly 1 blue) It seems like a fairly risky thing to do considering the circumstances. Might be a good idea to hypocop right now. | ||

Does seem like an overreaction by kingjames based on faulty information about being roleblocked. I think we should at the very least wait for subversion to respond and analyze that post. Not sure about aidnai, since I agree with some of his points. Some discussion, such as what blues should do, should not be talked about at night, since that could help mafia. I'm more worried about Ace (who has yet to respond to accusations/pressure from people) and his teammate Meapak (who has been MIA in mafia, when I have seen him active on IRC). I feel as if people have forgotten about this team which was previously brought up as a possible scum/lynch target. | ||

Ok I actually agreee that subversion/incog could be lying mafia. Let's look at some posts. On January 04 2011 16:25 Subversion wrote: Show nested quote + On January 04 2011 10:46 Nemesis wrote: Ok I just got here. Just to share my ideas with the current plans. On January 04 2011 00:51 deconduo wrote: Would a good idea be to work off the assumption we are in setup #2? Basically we assume that there are no blues, and if we do have a DT or medic its a bonus. That way we focus more on scumhunting rather than relying on a DT/medic to form a circle that might not be there at all. I wouldn't make any assumptions as to what setup we are going with. We should consider all the possible setups. But yes, we should focus more on scumhunting than relying on forming circles based on blue roles. On January 04 2011 00:37 LSB wrote: Well... Activity isn't going to magically create itself. So... All right, in many games there was an uneventful first day. Lets not make this one of those games. A few things to talk about:
Inactives: A big problem in every mafia game is inactivity. I don't want another drag_ being able to squeak by with barely any posts. We should immediately show it is not okay to be inactive. Inactive players hurt the town as they waste lynches down the road as the town will need to try to separate the mafia from the inactives. We should therefore push to lynch an inactive day one. This will force the assassins to discuss and not be able to turtle, increasing the chance they will slip up. The key is that we have to make sure the town knows it is not okay to just simply sit back and not do anything. This way, hopefully everyone will be active and we won't need to lynch an inactive. Plan Firstly. DO NOT CLAIM DO NOT CLAIM Good now that we got that out of the way, some other ideas. Generic Blue Activity plan One plan that would work is to use the blue roles to promote activity in the town. The DTs should check the inactive people and the lurkers, as it is incredibly difficult if not impossible to tell the difference between a bored townie and a lurking mafia. The Medics should protect active players, this way the mafia won't be able to take out the people who are contributing the most to town, so people won't be scared of trying to put forth their opinions. Although, I myself do not like inactives, our goal is to lynch mafia. So unless we can't come up with any good target to lynch by the end of the day, then I don't advocate the lynching of inactives, but lynching them might be a good idea if we have nothing else to go on. As for dts checking inactive people(if we do indeed have dts), I think that might be a lot better plan than lynching inactives as we would be wasting town's greatest weapon. Lynching inactives is basically the same as RNG, a random chance of lynching scum. The only good thing is it prevents inactivity and encourages acitivity. i dont really see what the point is of DTs checking inactives if its publicly announced. Surely then mafia will just make sure they're not inactive to avoid being detected? What is important about this qoute is the "Let's not check lurkers line" why is this important? Because Incog hasn't really posted at all. In fact this team has the least posts in the thread if I added right. But why should subversion be worried about dt checks if he has nothing to hide. He then jumps on the bandwagon BC/Beneather bandwagon at a nice safe point when several others had already done so and disowns his previous comment in one fell swoop. On January 05 2011 09:44 Subversion wrote: Oh okay, soz, that actually makes a lot of sense. Ugh this Day 1 vote is really just.. meh. Really not much to go on. For now I'm going with: ##Vote Beneather/BC My main reasoning here is that Beneather seems reluctant to say anything without BC being here to give him advice. Seems like a scummy junior would be scared of exposing himself without a senior to run his posts by. Also, BC yet to make an appearance. That's pretty much the whole post, except I also just said thanks to LSB for clarifying the check inactives plan, and why its good. So he doesn't think the day one lynch is a good one but he votes for the person who is currently ahead in the votes? If he didn't like it then he should have offered a better candidate or at least not gone with the status quo. Also notice that he wilts as soon as LSB applied the tinniest amount of pressure (all LSB did was explain why threarening to lynch inactives is good) but subversion feels compelled to appologise, that's a pretty common scum tell right there. No townie should be afraid of a dt check yet subversion opposes dt checking inactives when he is one. Also in such a small game it would probably be safer for the mafia to lurk. He claims to not like the day one vote but then goes and votes for the person currently ahead showing no interest in actually helping the town. Further more his whole I've been roleblocked /leave thread act set off alarm bells in my head and I agree with what KJ has been saying. I'm going to vote when I get home in about 12 hours to give subversion a chance to refute what I've said but if nothing changes my vote will be on this team. | ||

Unfortunately bad/inexperienced players tend to have a biased habit of looking at posts and trying to force things that are said to be Scummy when that isn't what is going on. | ||

I understand if this was a 30 person game and one person abstaining isn't THAT important but it's a 9 "person" game and one whole team not voting is HUGE. Right. Did you not read my post immediately afterwards? It was still in the middle of the season, and I was unable to log on before the deadline to place my vote. Since then I've tried as well as anyone to contribute and make sense of this discussion, from which there really wasn't any. Focusing on inactivity won't help the town, and I'm surprised you, of all people, are choosing to do that, especially without any response to deconduo's suggestion. @deconduo: what exactly do you mean by hypocop? | ||

I feel like it'll create more confusion than it's worth and there might not even be a cop so we're just implementing a plan that goes nowhere and ends up flooding the thread with fake "reports" and people can get away with easy lying | ||

Right now I am suspicious of subversion and aidnai. I will make an analysis on them later and decide my vote. As for subversion's claim of being roleblocked, there is a possibility that he is lying, but he could also be telling the truth so it is a bit WIFOM. My senior chaoser is rather inactive, and only pms me once in a while. | ||
