Toaster: How much of your Scumhunting is logic, and how much intuition? In general would you say you are able to provide solid reasoning behind your Scumpicks?
Rangercado: Tell us something you thought was neat about your favorite B12 Mafia game, and something you thought wasn't neat about your least favorite one?
makeinu: Would you describe yourself as a determined Scumhunter? (EBWOP) Are you a jester?
Plus, I hate metagaming. 
What would you say you do enjoy, when it comes to how you play Mafia?
Sinlessmoon: This is your first Mafia game on B12, yes? Are you familiar with any of the people you are playing this game with? Which of the previous Mafia games on this forum have you read, and how completely have you read the one you know the best?
Max White: How closely have you read the OP and the posts made by Meph and players from before the game started? Do you believe posts made before the game starts may be useful once the game has started?
Please note that there have been changes to the Role List. Two new varieties of Spore Spreader are possibilities as well as a new Rogue Doppelganger.
Rogue Doppelganger
Race: Doppelganger
Goal: Kill
Rules: A lone Doppelganger from a previous infiltration, either seeking to protect it's new hunting area or to rejoin others of its kind. Acts as a third party with either Town Ally or Dopp Ally win condition (set at the start of the game), but does not know who the dopp team are in either case. Once during the game the Rogue Doppelganger may Night Kill another player.
Victory: Town/Doppelgangers win
Spore Spreader
Race: Alien
Goal: Kill
Rules: This alien organism has been engineered to spread by spores and take over hosts. For one reason or another, this Bioweapon has been set loose. There are two types of Spore Spreaders.
Infester: The Infester must manually go to targets as a Night Action, infesting the target with Spores. The goal of the Infester is to have ALL surviving players at the end of the game infected with spores. The Infester need not be alive to win, and in fact when Lynched (but not killed otherwise), the Infester releases a spore cloud that randomly infects one of the non-infected players. The spores of this Alien are biological/nanomachine hybrids, and are therefore blocked by a Tech Shield. Guards may protect the target, and will be effected as normal for the guard type by the infection.
Bloom: This Spore Spreader has a special ability that allows it to Seed the area with Alien plants at night once during the game. All players will be made aware of the plants the following morning. That day, the players MUST perform a lynch. If the SS is lynched that day, it will send forth a cloud of chemicals that will activate the plants. The plants then release spores that convert all other players into Spore Spreaders, and winning the game for the SS. If the SS is not lynched, then it will die the following night and lose.
Tech: 0 Slots
Victory: All players at game end Infected/The Spore Spreader must be lynched the day following the Seeding.
: If you were to pick one of these terms to most accurately describe your Mafia playstyle these days, which one would you select? The choices are: passive, reactive, watchful, observant, hesitant, regretful, intense, determined, vengeful, avoidant, successful, focused, creative, pinpoint, maverick. If you were to pick two that together most accurately describe your Mafia playstyle, which two do you pick?
Persus13: Pretend you are Town and have a day inspect, and you need to use it right now (immediately after you read this question) or it will be lost. Who do you pick to inspect and why did you pick that person, or do you pick to lose your inspect and why?
Caz: Pretend you are Town and have a day protect (it must be placed during the day, but it will protect for the rest of this day and all of the following night, but it cannot be used on yourself), and you need to use it right now (immediately after you read this question) or it will be lost. Who do you pick to protect and why did you pick that person, or do you pick to lose your protect and why?
Tiruin: Pretend you have a day kill, and you need to use it right now (immediately after you read this question) or it will be lost. Who do you pick to kill and why did you pick that person, or do you pick to lose your kill and why?
TheDarkStar: Of the players in this game with you, who do you know the best and how well do you know that/those person(s)? How many of the B12 Mafia games have you read so far, and how completely have you read the one you know the best?
RangerCado:
Imp:[/b] Who would you wish to have on your team if you were the Dopplegangers?
Tiruin and Toaster. From other games I've played in and older games I've read, both of them are widely considered to be exceptional Scum players. Having seen both of them be Scum, I have to say I thought they were both probably Town until I saw their role flips. I did suspect them, but far, far less than I suspected others.
makeinu:
For example:
Sinlessmoon was online when you asked your question, and yet, didn't answer.
Jim Groovester was also online after game start, and I don't see any posts from him, either.
How's that for a start?
I find it curious that I answered your question, but the person it was directed at didn't.
It's been less than two hours since the game started, and less than an hour since Max asked the question which you jumped into answering.
Explain why you find it curious that Sinlessmoon hasn't already answered? Why do you believe he's even seen the post? Why do you believe he's not in the middle of typing an answer? What is your goal in behaving as you have since the game started, what are you seeking to achieve by your actions and reactions?
Max White:
Imp: Good to see you again! Last time your analysis of a players speech patterns ended up not working out very well, do you still see this as a valid method of scum hunting?
Likewise, playing beside you again. I think a player's speech patterns may be very telling, but that does depend greatly on the player and also on all the other circumstances. notquitethere, the one I completely misread in the game I think you refer to, showed me a lot of things I thought were scumtells and how he responded to me asking him about them, how he reacted to others, how he didn't really answer questions, how he chased his own ideas of how to Scumhunt (interesting, but accurate? I'm still unsure about that). Well, he looked seriously Scummy to me, and it wasn't just his speech patterns.
But yes, I'm not going to throw consideration of how a player uses words out. Every player is different, every game's different, the pressures change. I'm going to look at everything available to try and understand the motives of the people I'm playing with. But I will remember that I can be extremely wrong in what I believe I am seeing too. Not sure what to do about that yet, but I'm thinking about everything I can.
