ContinuedSorry for the wait
Tiruin: I am sorry that you have been sick and depressed, and that RL has been a pain in your butt the past few weeks. (To be clear, I am being entirely genuine.) With that said, you might want to get a replacement rather than trying to juggle this game (a lesser obligation) with things in RL that have consequences. I'm new, so I don't know how that works for an IC, but it's worth considering and completely acceptable.
I'm not aiming for a replacement because...I know I can do this--the game has enough replacements queued already (though they are technically still playing, only until they are confirmed replace
d).
Borno is lynched and pops up Town. Tn is then killed.
While it is conventional wisdom to not deliberate on an NK of this matter--it is useful to think about and ponder why, though. Tracing how the now-cleared suspects interacted and their value to people would give a hint as to what the cause for murder was, though it would be not good to dwell on it too much.
Now if any of them were scum, however, then value could be given more to their words--scum either wish to isolate themselves from their partners, or they work together with their partners and provide a vague yet apparent smokescreen now that the cover is up. The tip on these situations is to see the minute details instead of what general tips I'm giving right now and work from there.
That was... unexpected.
Point like this.
Why is it unexpected
TDS? What did you think of them?
Tiruin:
What do you think of yesterday's events? What do you vote now? What are your reads?
Currently I'd...honestly abstain from voting at the moment. Really bad stuffs as of late and morale is at an all time low that I haven't focused much here, so rather I'd look back on my notes and check--who seems too be aggressive in such a way that it doesn't need aggression? Maybe that person is pushing for a slip all too eagerly? Who seems to be using brevity in such a way that there is too general a viewpoint on them to glean any pertinent information? Maybe there either is something with how their viewpoint is, or they're using a logical smokescreen.
As of yesterday's event at the time of this question--my reads still stay the same (
tn [deceased] had a null read, yet I was a bit curious about how he saw things. There was that tinge of self-centric focus, but he was also contemplative in countering borno.
Cado has a null-towny read given how he words his posts, choosing more to be sincerely altruistic and transparent [given the context of such posts] rather than hide or be secretive. Unsure on
Kansa given lack of read into her (his?) posts. But I am very ashamed I
couldn't do anything about her or...help her at all.
Jack is null/towny given the amount of context he's giving, and that he's carrying the IC team and I'm dead weight >_>.
Tiruin would be saying Tiruin is town but the silly thing is, it's the same thing she's say if she was scum, in most general situations. So my read on myself should best be discerned by you peoples. :v)
LARDTiruin: Same as Jack but vice versa. Also moderate town. But I can't read experienced players very well. I would like to see her opinions on Jack.
What's holding you back from reading experience? Any details on that?
Jack and Tiruin As the IC's I would like to see you two go head to head because it would be instructive and interesting. If one of you is scum then I would like to know sooner rather than later because later you will be rallying the town to attack itself because that's what good scum does.
If that is not an option, then at least answer this: What possible motives are there for killing tn5421 other than avoiding being blocked?
Ok? So let's say I'm scum--what can you infer from my words since before?
Note: Nobody would declaim themselves directly as scum--while it may be done in jest, its...more of cheap play. >.> Hard to descrbe.
Query on the orange part: Yes that's what good scum does, so take in my first sentence here--what
if one of us was scum? What would you--or possibly the rest of you who aren't ICs, do?
Also possible motives? I have no idea where you got that notion of avoiding being blocked (where did you get that idea?) but possibly to narrow down...townies. :v
I have no idea, sincerely. If I was scum, I'd delegate my choice to my partner (though obviously giving my opinion on the matter) but let them choose--because it would be teaching them how to make a decision. Like that ol' adage of teaching a man how to fish as opposed to giving them fish only.
MOWE is bad mod...
MOWE is good mod D:<
Tiruin is bad mod! She can't even get her last BM flavor up because worries! >_<
MOWE is good mod :<
PTDfunTheDarkStar and Tiruin: What do you think the best way to play mafia (as in scum roles) is?
Do not rely on the role and instead define the role by your own playstyle and your own scumhunting. The role is like a crutch or a support to your goal, but it does not define how you play. (unless you're a jester, but that ain't mafia :v)
Like a poisoner--you hit a guy at night, they die next...time tmorrow after day but before night. So you plan in advance who to pick, and 'scumhunt' on the others that aren't your target--usually said target is the one you'd choose as a 'safecard' or someone you don't necessarily suspect but isn't Mafia so you won't kill your own people. :v
Tiruin: I know that RL keeps getting in the way, but I also think you are slightly on the scummy side. Difficulties in RL serve as legitimate grounds for lurking (which benefit the mafia). You have managed to make a few posts, but I did not find them to contribute much.
Valid, though it is wrong.
Assuming someone would use RL as a scapegoat is a...universal
NO. in Mafia. It is disgust on the player, the principle, the role and the spirit of the game.
The normal (and yet unspoken) rule regarding people asking for a replacement is: Assume it is for legitimate reasons despite ANYTHING the player acts in game (even if said player is an immature jerk, leave it be...at least they have the...dignity to ask for a replacement).
If the player states RL as the reason--then it should be assumed that RL is giving heck for delaying in playing a game. However, notes of concern should also be posted so in such a case that RL is too much--the player would still know people care [like in this game :-[]
I'd ask what exactly isn't it contributing? Yes, I agree that it
isn't in some ways, but what.../
isn't\?
On that note: No, an IC or a player [IC is just a tag for me :v] will not use RL as grounds for lurking--that's just scummy, in out-of-mafia context of the word.
HOWEVER, lurking in the case of posting everywhere else? That is legitimate grounds for suspicion--howeve,r should be followed up by a query at first, if ever the case happens.
Will try geting a post up before
Thursday end. I can make it.
...What is EST in regard to GMT?
