How is this relevant?

Just pointing out that he would probably be a bad IC. Just a guess, though.

[Ottofar]

It wouldn't matter if he'd played on MafiaScum or somesuch. Here, we're much more aggressive.

Are we?

[Ottofar]

Yeah.

Because they lynch you if you're  aggressive.

[Vector]

I personally feel that there's different kinds of aggression, some lynch-worthy and some not.

In any case, panicking is always a scumtell, whether it shows aggressively or calmly.

[Jack A T]

Yeah, there are huge differences between Bay 12 mafia and mafia at many other places.  I recommend reading through Supernatural 3, when it comes to that.

When I was playing at xkcd, folks actually asked me if I was from Mafiascum >_>

Over there (on the xkcd boards), the first stage is always to speculate about flavor and game mechanics/strategies, rather than asking each other questions.  It's kind of interesting, because they end up playing a lot of themed setups and pretty much nothing that was ever vanilla-vanilla.  Even their beginner's games would have things like millers.

I managed to peg the scum after their first post on the first day of the game, but I seem to have pissed a lot of people off in the process.  Frankly, I really prefer our behavior-heavy analysis to their methodologies.  It helps, though, that none of them seem to have any idea about how to play scum.

[Heliman]

Oh yeah, Bay12 strategies are basically the Clenched Arsehole of scumhunting. It's like trolling made OK because of the circumstances.

BTW vector I'd totally like to look at that XKCD mafia game, if you still have a link.

[Vector]

Here.

I had to quit partway through, but man... I had that thing pegged.

Did we end up like this for any particular reason?

What were the xkcd methods, then?

Thanks for the link, it'll be interesting to see how they do it there. Maybe I'll play a game there too.

[Vector]

As far as I can tell, it was a combination of Dakarian, Webadict, and Alexhans, and maybe a little bit of my reading strategy.  Mostly the first three, though.

XKCD... I never played long enough over there to really understand them, but as I said, it was mostly about the immediate speculation and "Okay, how are we all going to as a group decide to manage this situation."  I think we're more individualistic over here.  They also don't employ an RVS of any sort.  Ever.

HERESY






Anyone want the IC position, by the way?

[Toaster]

Eh sure, IC me up again.
