tn5421:Reread the thread, and tn5421 seems to be getting scummier by the second.
tn5421: Imagine you're a cop. What would you consider to be your goal in your night inspects: finding scum or finding town?
I would investigate someone I couldn't get a strong read on one way or another.
Everybody: Since this is a beginner's game, it's more likely that well-used scumtells will be less effective. What strategies do you think would be best in a situation like this, where players may not know what actions to avoid and which ones to look out for?
I'm going to play normally. I will take note of people not fully answering questions.
someone from MafiaScum is probably more knowledgeable than someone from EpicMafia
Thanks for the laugh.
Tn5421 and darkpaladin109: Since you both were in the last beginner's mafia game, which was a sprint, how do you expect this game will differ? How will you be changing your playstyles to adapt to those differences?
I expect it to take longer and be more of a thinking game than a go-with-your-gut game.
First off, his first post. He doesn't ask any questions, as per normal first post on these forums. He follows it up with a vote against Tiruin for dodging the question, despite how she PFP'd. I guess I can understand not knowing the abbreviations and such as this is a whole new forum, but if there was an abbreviation I didn't understand there would be no reason not to check the first post-which has a whole spoiler about it. I guess the not asking game-related questions thing is fine too, as they don't really do that at mafia scum either. Moving on.
Oh, and on a side note:
@Jack A T: I would be highly suspicious of reply #80 if you weren't an IC. Being super bold just makes you the primary target for a nightkill.
(Which was in regards to this post)
Another thing:
Be bold. When you see something you think is suspicious/scummy, take action. Question. Vote, whether to lynch or just to apply pressure. If you don't know why someone took an action they took, ask. Ask people lots of questions about their actions. Don't hold back. Don't let nervousness prevent you from taking action.
Use your votes. Use them to apply pressure in your investigations. Use them to kill off the most suspicious players. Use them to show your suspicions.
Be active. When you can contribute, try to contribute. Low activity kills games, especially BMs.
Players have done stuff today (not much, but still), and there is material to look at. For that matter, you can look at players who haven't acted, whether through not posting or through not doing anything when they post.
He says that he would be suspicious of this post if it were not made by an IC, yet there is no reason for this suspicion. Being active & bold is the best thing to do in mafia, and saying that you should be those things is
not scummy at all. This is because if he was scum, then telling people to do something that would make him want to kill him and waste a NK just doesn't make sense. Oh well, this doesn't seem to be anything to warrant a vote by itself though.
@Jack A T, #85: That's why I included the qualifier "If you weren't an IC".
The question about how his experiences with the setup shape his views on how this game will play out has not been answered and I will not let go until it is.
@Kansa, #88: I'm not sure what this is a reply to, assuming you mean 'is anyone suspicious' but parts of your reply don't fit that line.
@Fniff, #89: The Scum IC is the independant observer, the other ICs are actual players.
@RangerCado, #90: What is the significance of Blue-Bolding my name? I am awaiting a reply from Tiruin in regards to reply #53 [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=138613.msg5294398#msg5294398]. Reply #54 does not adequately explain anything except for Tiruin being busy IRL. People have commented on my tendency to take my time with things. I don't really understand that, but I don't dive in head first unless I'm fairly sure I can do something productive, as I'm an easy mislynch when I get aggressive.
@Kansa, #91: ALL OF MY FoS FOR POST EDIT[/rvs]
@Jack A T, #92: Does blue bold indicate a FoS?
@RangerCado, #94: Except I don't feel pressured, at all. I'm not doing anything wrong, you are suspecting me based on my playstyle only.
@Tiruin, #96: I don't mind waiting but I still want my question answered when RL isn't eating your time.
@borno, #98: No. No. We are NOT in lylo. There are 2 scum / 7 town as per the setup. I do not like this post at all.
Vote: borno
But please tell us how we are in LYLO on day one.
However, this, in conjunction with the other random needlessly aggressive posts he has been making is. He votes me for asking a
hypothetical question. I honestly am bamboozled, and he seems to make no effort in explaining it whatsoever when it is pointed out by Jack A T, instead making a pathetic 'Yeah, lynch me, I don't really care, nor will I make any defense whatsoever. I won't try to stay alive when I can just prove you wrong when I'm dead!', which no good townie would. So far, almost all of his posts have just been random, completely unfounded aggressive outbursts which serve to do nothing other than stir up suspicions between townies, and for that he gets my vote.
