I think Player Y is somewhat important. If Player Y is scum, they *could* arm themselves and take out Player X (if X is town), thereby losing us a player. Worst-case-scenario: player X is a cop and Player Y is armed scum.

Worst-case-scenario: player X is a cop and Player Y is armed scum. Let me try this again. Going into night one, we should have: at least one Mafia member, the jailkeeper, the cop, and the remaining visitors alive to participate. That leaves these possibilities: -X is scum: X doesn't visit anyone, so Y is irrelevant. -X is the jailkeeper: X roleblocks Y, even if Y is armed scum. -X is the cop: The jailkeeper roleblocks X. The attempted investigation fails, so even if armed scum were the intended target, the jailkeeper prevents that targeting from happening. -X is a visitor: The jailkeeper roleblocks X. The attempted visit fails, so even if armed scum were the intended target, the jailkeeper prevents that targeting from happening.

Oh right! lmao! I keep thinking of jailkeeper as protecting everyone visiting X, not really thinking about the roleblocking component of it also protecting X from Y.
In that case, carry on. In this scenario, worst case is if X is cop and even that isn't terrible, just useless.

WotUNeed I've been out of it this week/I'm not like, super motivated in this game to be perfectly honest. Not to the degree that I think it warrants a replacement—I've been grilled so often for being too aggressive a player, so maybe this isn't a bad thing lol—but even I wouldn't say this is my usual. For what that's worth. Vote: Az; realized I'd moved my vote to walker9 because.... yeah, but let me not. Speaking of, @walker9, do you have anything further to contribute, or what? Rereading entire thread since I'm not likely to be able to do so tomorrow. I think narwhals was the only one to engage my question from last night. >:( That's actually an interesting point. You have brought up several potential angles or ideas to get discussion rolling, but many players (myself included) seems to have hive-mindedly glossed over all but the easiest of it (like offering opinions on a potential Day 1 No Lynch). I don't know what to make of that. I would assume this is a universal sense of complacency. While I'm at it: Kunt, have you gotten enough feedback on your questions? Can you explain your reasoning for the first two questions? Question one: yes, but I think these answers should be used by everyone. Question two: I think I already mentioned this to Max, but I picked Narwhals and LBTRocks because they both fell into the "new enough to make mistakes, but not new enough to not know what's going on" category, but were playing very different games and thought their answers would in particular could be telling. Narwhals' was, to me, in this case. As for Wot, I just didn't see a lot of people talking about him and wanted to get people talking about him. -- To answer the question you posed about using what we already know about players, I already mentioned that I don't like using past gameplay to gauge any action in a current one. It's gotten town into a lot of trouble before because Pulse-players love to focus on anything other than the game they're actually playing, be it past games or night actions. We just need to take it one Day Phase at a time and work with what we're afforded here and now, imo.

Finally got around to reading the Tutorial thread. Didn't help me establish much one way or the other with Narwhals, but it did help me understand Albie's play better and is giving me a somewhat town lean for him. If forced to make a call on Narwhals, I guess I'd call him newbtown, but it's not based on any of the substantial content of his posts and more based on the little comments peppering his posts. WotUNeed feels both of these guys have been 'waffling' but I'm not sure I feel the same with regard to LBT - or if I do, I don't know that I think it's more likely to be a scum tell. I suppose I was mainly referring to the post I quoted when I changed my vote; I admit I've liked what I've seen since better than that particular post. I'm spending more time here than I'd intended trying to reread to see if there's anything interesting that I overlooked in the speculative text walls on the previous pages. As it's impossible for anyone else to tell time passing as this page sits open, I've been doing so for about an hour since I started typing this and have nothing to show for it, so at this point, I think we both have our votes sitting on someone because we grasped at anything we could get, both then became dissatisfied with that, and neither is succeeding at finding another angle to take. Is that an accurate summary of your current position? awesomecharts : Your quote messed up and made your post hardish for me to read, but I think you requested I clarify my plan for coordinating town night actions. The short answer is, I'm proposing that we agree that everyone picks one person to target at night, except that person everyone else is targeting would then have to pick a second person to target (since visiting yourself isn't an option). Yea, my info basically so far is that Idk myself who the most suspicious is. Its hard to tell. I have played in plenty of games like this where Town always ends up lynched day 1. Thats why I do not favor day 1 lynchings cause theres higher chance Town gets lynched than Mafia. You don't have a most suspicious; who do you find kind of suspicious? Who do you think would be a bad target for today? What opinion do you have of anyone else in the game or anything that's been discussed thus far? You're replacing in for someone who did nothing; convince me there's a good reason not to axe your slot. I think the guys who are too trigger vote happy like Kunt for example from what I see seem to be most suspicious. Now Im not sure if this is a normal game style of Kunt or no. But the ones who usually are the most aggressive or the ones who post the most have usually in experience have been scum.

And what you’re saying is… you always think going with No Lynch for D1 is the best move…? Also, I’m curious about how much experience you have in playing Mafia and where have you played before? I have played Town of Salem often. (if you all know that game). And I have played some Mafia games before on these forums. www.kongregate.com/forums/7099-forum-games

I sincerely am not trying to be rude, but you've contributed little else to the thread to make me change my opinion, busy or not? I just want you to contribute more than self-defense since that's primarily what my vote hinges on, that's all.

This is all said with the understanding that you're busy—so if you can't immediately, I get it. I'm just clarifying that it's not a fixation so much as "I don't see a better option". Anyway, while I'm going ahead and posting, I assume we should probably start to coordinate the night actions now like Wot mentioned.

@touch, well it's not really necessary to answer the questions now as it was back in the first day when I wanted to get out of RVS. And my question wasn't so much about using past behavior to determine present behavior. The answers I was hoping people would provide were more important than anything else. I hoped to see biases that people might be bringing into the game about others and how can we look at their votes through the lens of those biases.

Okay but hasn't it been said that I'm always defensive? If you're using that as a scum argument that that doesn't mean jack, I just get defensive. And you also have had a habit of getting stuck on people and tripping up when they're not actually scum.
Re: Walker9 'Town Of Salem' isn't gonna be much help here. It's based on the same game, yes, but the mechanics of that game differ from this. Now, if I were to break down the players into the Group A/Group B thing, then (not including myself) here's what I would break it down as:
GROUP A Popstop LBTRocks Narwhals WotUNeed Albie
GROUP B Kunt Cynthia Walker9 Max
I'd posit that there was at least one scum member in each group.

Now onto WotUNeed's visitation plan; I was not a fan of Cynthia's circle-jerk variety because I thought it had a couple of holes in it; for one, say X player dies and we know Y person visited them. How do we know Y isn't scum trying to play reverse psychology by killing who they visited and letting us think that scum wouldn't actually be so transparent? 'Cause I mean the obvious correlation is Y visits X, X dies therefore Y killed him. Depending on who X and Y are, we could WIFOM ourselves to death posturing whether Y is smarter than that. And if nothing happens, what would that plan even tell us?
Wot's version, I'm more okay with (that was X follows Y, and everyone else follows X, correct? I wanna get my thoughts out and I don't wanna lose my train of thought by going back and checking). Wot already broke down the possible outcomes so I don't need to restate. Who do we think we should set up in each position? Are we trying to pick people the majority believes to be Town as X and Y? Or do we want to put suspected scum in there to put them under the microscope and see what happens?

popstop oh lol. Az Paynter I don't think you're understanding me. Your definsiveness isn't why I'm voting for you, my mistake if that wasn't clear. I'm voting for you due to a lack of subtatial contribution even when you do have time to post. It's just a coincidence that most of your posts lately have been in self defense

As far as those of you who somehow want to shoehorn my "no lynch" idea into a reason to FOS me, or say that's been my only contribution, I'm calling shenanigans. I've brought up more than just the no lynch. I asked about proceeding with Wot's plan, but no one jumped on that until Wot presented it again. I answered Kunt's questions, and then later asked Kunt about their motivation. It took him nearly a day to answer them despite having no problem rushing in to respond to Albie's vote earlier. I mentioned a couple days ago reasons that I felt Kunt and Cynthia were both town and there was no response. Am I being ignored because I'm Canadian?
Max, I don't think there's anything wrong with me initially supporting Cynthia's idea, and then ditching it when Wot's was better. And I still would stand by my no lynch idea in the context of Cynthia's plan. That italicized part seems to be getting lost in the shuffle here.
Questions to answer: Rather than divide into groups. I'll just put everyone in order in a sliding scale from who I think is town to who I think is mafia.
WotUNeed Cynthia Kunt Narwhals LBTRocks Az Libra/walker Albie Max
As far as Narwhals question, when I've been in mafia, I've seen all those combinations, and I think it really comes down to who got the mafia roles because if someone deviates too much from their past play, it could raise a flag. For example, if me and Cynthia were mafia, I think it might raise a red flag if both of us were laying low because that would be atypical to how we usually play. If me and you were mafia, it seems like it would be more of a mixture because you are new to mafia.

Ok clearly you're working to change that though lol.
Not that you asked me, but to answer your second question I think it would be more beneficial to try and target someone suspicious since the Jailkeeper would roleblock scum, but not the cop. Worst case scenario, we at least end up clearing someone for late game assuming the cop isn't nightkilled. This also gives town the advantage of predicting nightkills; if scum knows player X was targeted and they know the cop will know they're town, then they may just opt to off that player anyway since that information could hinder them in late game (assuming the cop stays alive). Obviously putting that out there makes it less of a surprise for them, but I can't imagine they'd have much choice unless they want to risk a game of chance.

Here's my sliding scale of town read to scum read, in tiers:
Town: Kunt, WotUNeed
Slight town: LBTRocks, Max, popstop
Null: Albie
Slight mafia teas: Az, Narwhals, walker9
This has changed a little bit from my last post on everyone so to briefly explain the slight mafia teas group - walker has been in here two or three times now and it's all been to say that he'll be back later with more. This is not helpful and could be interpreted as purposeful evasiveness. The bulk of Az' most recent posts have been more to defend himself than to analyze, which to be fair could just be the guy rightly trying to defend himself, and This isn't to say that he's offered no thoughts on other players or ideas that others have had, because there are some there. It's just that his defenses are currently standing out more than other input he has made.
On re-read I think I might understand where Wot was coming from when he said Narwhals was 'waffling' to him, and LBT seemed to pick up on this later too - Narwhals has asked a lot of questions but not given a lot of answers or hypotheses of his own. I don't know if that is a player still trying to get the hang of the game or someone trying to avoid giving definitive stances, so for now that puts him near the bottom of my list. ----- Max suggested earlier that player X should be the person we feel is scummiest because it gives the cop a chance to get a read and Kunt has agreed with that. So to add to this, I say everyone make a sliding scale - it doesn't have to be numbered from one to nine necessarily, but it should at least be tiered. If you've already made such a post (I see that popstop has) then you don't have to do it again, but maybe refer everyone to that post so everyone else doesn't miss it. The three players who show up the most in the suspect pile will be among the three we consider for lynching and for player X. First we will 'vote' on who player X is and then we'll decide who of the other two will be our lynch. I would like it that way b/c I don't want a situation where we haggle over the lynch for the remaining 20 or so hours we have, and then are rushed to pick the X guy before twilight is over. Player X is basically going to be a person we're suspicious of but not as suspicious as we are of someone else, so keep that in mind b/c once we settle on X, that person shouldn't be coming up in anyone's vote for a lynch.
It's early morning now but I figure everyone should have been on here within the next 10-12 hours to do this and to make a case for themselves if need be, and we can proceed from there.

Ugh I'm still not quite understand this plan of Cynthia's. What if the jailkeeper is lynched today? So we are supposed to all be visiting the same person but with only 5 or 6 at most will be following through with it? What if the person selected is scum, they arm themselves and then there's a mass killing of the compulsive visitors? Could this happen if there's no Jailbreaker there? Or would scum know not to arm themselves since it would be obvious they were responsible for all the night kills?

Town: Wot
Leaning Town: Kunt, Cynthia, Max
Null: Walker, Az, Popstop
Scum Leaning: Narwhals, Albie
I'll explain in more detail my thoughts on each player below. Sorry if some of it is rambling or not helpful. I tried my best to keep things short and to-the-point.
Wot: The strongest town read I have. I’d be pretty surprised if he ended up being scum. I already listed my reasons for thinking Wot was town when I answered Kunt’s questions, and those reasons still apply.
Cynthia: Town-leaning, because she has been very helpful and her suggestions seem to be ones that have town’s best interest in mind. I lean more towards her coordination plan coming from a genuine place, even though I did shy away from it a bit the more I thought about the variables. I usually always think she’s town though, even when she’s scum. She’s always great at appearing town whether she is or not. One thing I did find a bit odd that other people have mentioned (and I don’t think she acknowledged it, unless I missed it somehow) was how she piggybacked off of Kunt’s original reasoning and vote Az. It just seemed a bit strange that she would follow Kunt’s lead without adding any insight of her own. So I guess if I had to say something struck me as slightly scummy from her, this would be it, but my feelings of her being town are definitely much stronger.
Kunt: Also town-leaning. I pretty much have the same read on him as I do Cynthia. I don’t necessarily find his original vote on Az suspicious, I just didn’t think the basis for it was particularly strong. I re-read his posts though and can’t say anything has really stood out to me as scummy. He’s been pretty active and his contributions to the game read townish to me.
Walker: Null. There really isn’t much to go on. He hasn’t really offered any stance or opinions on things, and he replaced a player who also didn’t offer any stances and opinions on things, so I think lynching Walker today would be a more of a shot in the dark. That said, he needs to start participating because the longer he doesn’t, the faster he’s going to go from null to scummy. It is off-putting that he was on tonight, said he was going to read the thread, yet didn’t post anything of value.
Max: When I looked back on this posts, he ended up being more town leaning to me. He seemed to contribute town-like things to the set-up discussion as well as Cynthia’s coordination plan, and later Wot’s. A couple things about his first post on page 5 though: He contradicted himself a bit when he said he thought Narwhals and I were leaning town, but that he wouldn’t be surprised if we were scum partners. lol wut. Also, in the same post, he essentially parroted what I said about popstop in regards to the No Lynch. His posts as a whole though do tend to read a bit more townish to me than scummish.
Az: Pretty much null on him too, unfortunately. I have isolated his posts and there’s not a whole lot of content there, but of that content, I can’t pick out specific instances that I thought were that scummy. That said, I also don't have specific instances that point to being town either. He did get unnecessarily defensive and pissy at Kunt a few posts ago, but this is Az, so that type of reaction is expected regardless of his alignment. I was a little surprised to see him vote for Cynthia based on my idea that the coordination plan was originated by scum, but its kind of hard for me to be suspicious of a player voting for someone based on an idea that I myself threw out there lol. I guess I wasn’t expecting for anyone to vote for her because of it though, as I myself did say I thought it was a bit of a stretch.
Popstop: Also null overall. I feel he could kind of go either way. The biggest thing that I didn’t like was a the No Lynch thing, but I eventually determined that probably wasn’t the strongest scum tell because of reasons I stated on page 5. Otherwise, his posts don’t particularly read scummy to me, but I also don’t feel there is as much content in his posts as he thinks or would like us to believe.
Narwhals: Still leaning scum for him for reasons I mentioned when I voted for him when answering Kunt’s questions, I’m still more suspicious of him than not. His subsequent OMGUS vote on me didn’t ease my mind much. Additionally, nothing else thus far has stimulated stronger suspicion in me, so my vote has remained on him. I don’t think he’s a bad lynch for today, but I'm not closed off to other options either.
Albie: Leaning scum for him as well. In the beginning, I was getting a slight townish feel from his posts because it felt like he was trying to push discussion and give thoughts on existing discussions at the time. However, my first true reservation about him was him bringing up role-claiming… on D1. I would have probably overlooked that, but in his subsequent posts he kept on about it. Even after he was told by players, experienced players mind you, that it was a bad idea. I found it scummy that he was pushing so hard to make a case for it at that point. Also, his contradictory statement regarding my post on page 4 was quite strange, and I called him out on that in my last post.

If the majority of y'all think I'm a good lynch today that's fine. I'm not really very good at this still so it'd probably be better have me dead as town then keep on doing very little to help town the next day Vote: Narwhals
Can we get an updated vote count?

Also, one other thing... I debated even bringing this up, but the more I think about it, the more I think it could be important to the game. When I quoted Albie's long analysis posts from pages 5 and 6, I saw a couple unusual HTML tags... tags that I have never seen on Pulse before. One was [ strong ] [ /strong ] (which bolded text) and the other was [ em ] [ /em ] (which italicized text). I thought this was strange, why wouldn't Albie be using the regular [ b ] [ /b ] and [ i ] [ /i ] tags that are on Pulse? So I looked them up online, and in doing so found out that the two used in Albie's post also happen to be HTML tags that can be used in QuickTopic to format a message :o www.quicktopic.com/htmltags.shtmlI'm putting this as an aside instead of under my suspicions for Albie due to my lack of knowledge about HTML tags, and the fact that I could potentially be way off base with these tags having nothing to do with Pulse. But I figured it was better to put it out there because its been bothering me that I didn't. If this is stupid or a ridiculous stretch, feel free to tell me so or just ignore it. Those two posts from Albie are the only ones so far that I've seen with those HTML tags.

Now, if I were to break down the players into the Group A/Group B thing, then (not including myself) here's what I would break it down as: GROUP APopstop LBTRocks Narwhals WotUNeed Albie GROUP BKunt Cynthia Walker9 Max I'd posit that there was at least one scum member in each group. That's.... kind of not helpful at all. So basically, you think our two scum could be.... any other player. The only thing your groupings tell us is that, if Popstop is scum, he's not aligned with LBTRocks, Narwhals, WotUNeed or Albie, etc. Now onto WotUNeed's visitation plan; I was not a fan of Cynthia's circle-jerk variety because I thought it had a couple of holes in it; for one, say X player dies and we know Y person visited them. How do we know Y isn't scum trying to play reverse psychology by killing who they visited and letting us think that scum wouldn't actually be so transparent? 'Cause I mean the obvious correlation is Y visits X, X dies therefore Y killed him. Depending on who X and Y are, we could WIFOM ourselves to death posturing whether Y is smarter than that. And if nothing happens, what would that plan even tell us? Funny. That isn't the reason you gave us before, which I'll repost again for shits and giggles. Co-ordinating a visitation plan is also dumb IMO, assuming Cop and Jailer claim Visitor, they're only gonna lie about who they visit, and if that lie gets picked up on, it puts them in a bad position where scum could steer a mislynch of the major powers. Plus we're not accounting for someone being AWOL and not actually sending in a target, which would mean it gets randomized and that would throw off the whole plan (I mean, it's compulsive visitor, which means it will happen regardless). And your new reasoning has been brought up already (by Kunt, I believe). So... not that you couldn't have also thought of it but...well, you already posted your reason against the idea and now you're posting a better reason that someone else already thought of? If the majority of y'all think I'm a good lynch today that's fine. I'm not really very good at this still so it'd probably be better have me dead as town then keep on doing very little to help town the next day Vote: Narwhals What? Why? No offense but what would we learn with your lynch? If you're town, the only thing we get from your lynch is that our pool of players is less so our chances of randomly getting scum is slightly better. If you're scum, we might learn something, but why would scum sacrifice himself like this - unless it was a clever risky tactic because no one's going to fall for this. Also, one other thing... I debated even bringing this up, but the more I think about it, the more I think it could be important to the game. When I quoted Albie's long analysis posts from pages 5 and 6, I saw a couple unusual HTML tags... tags that I have never seen on Pulse before.

Those two posts from Albie are the only ones so far that I've seen with those HTML tags. This is actually amazing! I want to look into this as well. brb

Oh right.
Narwhals, smarten up. You're literally doing nobody any favours, regardless of what you're alignment is.
And vote: Az because he's sketchy af.

Also, one other thing... I debated even bringing this up, but the more I think about it, the more I think it could be important to the game. When I quoted Albie's long analysis posts from pages 5 and 6, I saw a couple unusual HTML tags... tags that I have never seen on Pulse before. One was [ strong ] [ /strong ] (which bolded text) and the other was [ em ] [ /em ] (which italicized text). I thought this was strange, why wouldn't Albie be using the regular [ b ] [ /b ] and [ i ] [ /i ] tags that are on Pulse?

Those two posts from Albie are the only ones so far that I've seen with those HTML tags. As much as I hate to be grasping at HTML tags for guidance, I can't help but find your observation interesting. Does someone at a computer (or someone more talented at mobile composition than me) want to test this observation by copying formatted text from an old QuickTopic and seeing if it retains its properties and associated tags? (Make sure you do it in a not rule breaking way if so.)

I've tried going back through Albie's post history to see if he made posts in other threads that used it, and there are some from a few months ago, so I don't think it's specific to just this thread or game, but just an Albie quirk.
It's odd though. If it was just a few times in instances where what appears in the tags could be something copied and pasted, it would be a sure bet gotcha moment, but he uses HTML throughout his posts. I'm not sure why it would format that way though. When I write stuff in wordpress, it auto-formats. But ProBoards auto-formats with BB tags. I'm going to say this finding, while a GREAT find, is conclusive.

Devil Marlena Nylund - I was just getting frustrated And figured I'm not a big help to town right now: I know from playing the tutorial game trying to avoid being lynched when you're town and sucessfully doing so - can continue to be a distraction into the next day for town. You appear scummy. Also I might not be around towards the last three hours of ethe day so I figured I put this out here now if the consensus is I'm the most suspicious still. I have a feeling we'll be scrambling to the last few hours.

Everyone else has a vote on someone else and even if they list you as suspicious, you're not top priority. Why are you making yourself one? At the very least, you could be the Player X everyone visits tonight if that appeases your sense of guilt or whatever.
