Hello everyone, and welcome to Beginner's Mafia. These tend to be a bit crazy and slightly different from regular mafia games, because most of you are just learning how to scumhunt. I'm here to help you with that. Keep in mind that since I'm not just an IC, but also a player, I may not be your alignment necessarily, but the advice I will give you will help you in this and future games, and represent general truths and my own opinions about mafia. My advice will generally will generally be how to scumhunt, and indirectly, how to not look scummy, since while town players shouldn't be as worried about that as the mafia and should focus on scumhunting, scumhunting makes you look less scummy, and being less scummy means you won't be mislynched or used as an easy target by the mafia.
A general word of advice, please quote or link the stuff you are responding to. No one's going to keep track of the early question you got asked and never got around to answering.
Frostmoon:Hello everybody! :3 As you can see, I'm Frostmoon! :3 Some of you guys may know me from 4maskwolf's Beginner's Mafia which ended with my faction, town, losing. Anyways, I look forward to playing with all of you~! :3
Everyone: How much experience does everyone here have? Like, what games have you played and what have you learned from them?
I've played for about two years or so on the board.
This was the amount of games I had played last march, don't know how much more I've played now.
Also, I do want to mention that ICs can give advice after they've died.
While ICs can and do give advice after being dead, said advice tends to be minimal. Part of the point of ICs as players is that they can show how regular Bay12 players play, or at least, how they play, something they can't do when dead and they can't give advice without worries of affecting people's scumhunting.
Anyone, but especially the ICs: What do you think of Moonlit's play so far? Do newbs of various alignments tend to flail like this?
I can't tell yet. Give me a little more time.
tntey:(I've played cultists and churchgoers goers. And have play a game of town of salem.))
Town of Salem is quite different from this, mainly because of the lack of time.
Moonlit ShadowFrostmoon: Pretty much my second game. I played the previously mentioned flaborts game which's name I've forgotten (something with C Fold or something), and died due to my computer glitching out on me and deleting my defense ): as mafia. And I've also played the mini-mafia things that Tomasque did, with Griffionday, Tntey, and Filipk. Those didn't really count, as with only 4 people, the playstyle was very different.
Please don't talk about ongoing games. You also flipped town, so I don't know why you said "as mafia" there.
What do you think the point of voting people in RVS is?
Uh, Everyone, what exactly does a scum IC do?
Scum IC's give advice to the new scum players in the scum chat.
This is a link to the scum chat for the last BM where I was scum IC. SO NQT won't be posting here, unless its to say hello, mention some rules-related thing, or take over for Jack A T incase Jack's has RL stuff to deal with.
Griffionday:Persus13
What so-called "scum-tells" do you personally find particularly likely to be misapplied and blind town?
That's a tough one. The first one that comes to mind is Lynch all Liars in role-heavy games where there is an incentive for town power roles to lie. Lurker Lynching is one I tend to go back on forth on, because I've seen inactive scum use their inactivity to win, and I've also seen town lose by targeting lurkers, so that one is particularly likely to be misapplied.
fillip:Moonlit Shadow why did you jump on the band wagon, you working to get us loyal adventures lynched?
Sorry about getting you lynches Moonlit, I looked back through and saw some posts I missed that made you look really town
PLEASE DONT TALK ABOUT ONGOING GAMES. Especially when you aren't dead in it.
NJW2000Lynching ICs is a good way to make scum win due to noobish confusion not being resolved, isn't it? They're more likely to be town, therefore it's better to not kill the experienced players that are most likely on our side?
Then again, perhaps they could do more damage as scum, I don't know.
ICs tend to do more damage as scum. Although lynching ICs can be bad for town. Its tough ain't it.
@GriffiondayTntey not posting much. Made him look odd when also looking at everyone but the absent Persus. More of a general statement.
I don't believe Kilaken's posted either.
Why are you currently voting Frostmoon?
