Let's take a moment to talk about activity. But first, let's see what I've said about activity in previous Beginner's Mafias.
Participation and activity is a very important trait for town. Scum, and especially new scum, have trouble looking like they effectively scumhunt so they very frequently don't. This cuts their participation, and observant town then note that they're not really scumhunting or actively participating.
Now I shall tell you my lesson about activity.
You need to be active because you need to be able to show yourself as town. A good town will be as active as possible because he knows that the more he gets out there the more he can be seen and the more other people can see him and read him, and most importantly for everybody, get read as town. A member of the town should be as transparent and open as possible, i.e., he should be available to answer questions quickly and honestly so that when it comes time for everybody to choose their votes, he won't get chosen.
It's every town's responsibility to avoid looking scummy so that they don't waste time getting mislynched.
I hope everyone sees the importance of activity. If you don't participate, games are going to die, and that sucks for everybody.
Additionally, before anybody else does anything, I will stress the importance of activity. You should be as active as possible. A good guideline is to get one good post in a day, but if you can post productively more often than that it's generally a good idea to do so. As a player, town or scum, being active and visible is very much an asset, as you're out there making yourself readable, and this is considered a town quality. While there are very good personal benefits to being active, the reverse is detrimental to the whole game. Low activity makes games hard to play or outright kills them. This is fun for absolutely no one, so make a good effort and be active.

As you can see, I've had quite a few strong words about activity and its importance.
I'd say being active (purposefully active, not senselessly active) is more valuable for a beginner than knowing what to do. I would recommend all players increase their level of activity to make for a more enjoyable experience for everyone.
Max, I wouldn’t recommend picking Lidku either, killing somebody d1 in one of their first games is kinda a dick move, and there’s no reason mafia wouldn’t just leave them alone and trick them into voting for the more dangerous townies.
I would tend to agree with this. Plus, if a new player rolled Mafia, they would probably get one or more teammates that are more experienced and thus more of a thread.
I mean, if a new player outright scumslips, then yeah vote scum. But ideally, we'd eliminate scum among the more experienced players.
I generally agree that in a Beginner's Mafia letting the beginners actually play is probably more worthwhile than going after them hard, but I also caution you that beginners can still be scum.
I'm just going to vote for someone with no votes yet. I'm not going to pile on with someone with high votes already, because I don't want to be involved in "lynching" anyone, wherein due to the fact that I have little-to-no evidence yet to really go off of. BluarianKnight.
You gotta do more than this, man.
Forming a consensus on who to lynch is an essential part of the day game for the town. Laying your cards on the table, discussing who you want to lynch and who you don't want to lynch is typical, as is some amount of bargaining as well as challenging other players to see whether what they say they want is actually what they do want.
Unfortunately you won't be able to succeed in this game without a certain amount of bloodthirstyness.
But it's not personal, it's just how the game is played.
So unless you're trying to radiate some D1 power play I want a more reasonable answer on why you're trying to kick Euchre like a limping puppy.
EuchreJack's no stranger to abuse so this raises my eyebrow a little.
PPE: the fucker even begs for it geez
What's more concerning to you: is it the amount of aggression, or that it's being directed at EuchreJack?
I'm trying to get him to react. It's not working, and that just makes me suspect him even more. This isn't Town Jack, he'd be posting all over the place, this is a calculating Jack held back by a teammate. Even him calling me town is odd so early on, more a way to get me off that path. Especially when I just sweeped the last game I was Cult in.
I would've agreed with your read about EuchreJack's activity if he hadn't posted four times in a row just now.
Or is the fact I have a Super tagged ability causing people to get on me?
Does every BYOR have to be a repeat of every other BYOR?Why would any of the attacks directed at you be about your role when you haven't brought it up at all until now?
It being a starting vote is also a decent reason, as there isn't much else to talk about at the moment.
You can get on me all you want, but remember this. I'd have to be in it alone for me to be scum. So either way you look at it, me being lynched doesn't help you there.
Sure I could be scum with someone, but wher'es the evidence?
The rest of this post seems pricklier than necessary.
Seems to me that I can learn plenty about you by letting everyone else go after you, while I talk with other people. Does that make sense to you?
Kind of a bizarrely passive tact to take with TricMagic.
Well, I'm feeling better about Roden, and Jim isn't being enough of an asshole, so Jim Groovester
I mean, he hasn't even called me an Idiot yet, and we're been playing for approximately 54 hours!
Was
the one post Roden made between when you voted him and your post here really enough to make you feel better about him?
Here's where I'm at so far in the game.
BluarianKnight - always perma scum forever and ever more but actually he's not reading scum to me super hard like normal
EuchreJack - Haven't decided if this is on-brand town EuchreJack yet. I've noted some issues but usually issues like this can be resolved with EuchreJack confidently and rapidly posting completely irrational nonsense.
Knightwing64 - putting in a decent amount of effort. Still not sure about him; I forget which game it was but he was scum in it and I underestimated him. I'm inclined to read Knightwing64 favorably rather than not so far.
Lidku - probably town just because of ignorance about the game type
Maximum Spin - kind of quiet but fine

TricMagic - TricMagic thinking the attacks on him are about his role is 100% original flavor on-brand TricMagic, but the defensiveness in general is causing me unease. Feels like he's being more defensive than he needs to be given the amount of votes he currently has and the time until deadline.
