Title: Reverse Mafia: Over!

  Hello, And welcome to Reverse Mafia, my first attempt to moderate a game on this forum.  This game, Reverse Mafia, is a mountainous game with twist.  I hope you enjoy it, and will share your ideas and critics of it with me after.
A sample of my previous modding can be found Here (http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=65370), and Here (http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=110&t=65148), and further games can be linked upon request.

Sign-ups are Now, I suppose.  Ill be taking 13 people, and due to the concept behind the game I recommend by not require that people be familiar with mafia and site meta.  In any case, I will also accept PMs abut any concerns players have with the playerlist.

 You have in the rules section, where you say "Vote by using either the 'bold' tag." What's the other option?
Title: Re: Reverse Mafia: Signups
Post by: pisskop on November 19, 2016, 03:44:33 pm
An error.  There is no alternative voting method that is standard on this site.

Votes must be made using the bold tag, followed by the word 'vote', followed by a name

vote pisskop
unvote pisskop

are examples

In, this looks fun.

One comment, though - on these forums votes are generally red and bold to make them obvious. It also helps make them more visible against the Darkling theme.

    By the way, it's pretty standard to just end night once all actions are in or at a set time if they aren't.

    Dont take my color  :(


    Okay.  So if you are all okay with 7 day dayphases and 1 day nightphase we'll do this.
    And I can also not use blue.



    The setup is 13 players, 10:3 ratio
    Title: Re: Reverse Mafia: Signups
    Post by: TheBiggerFish on November 20, 2016, 02:11:20 pm
    Are you doing hammers (majority lynch is immediate day end)?
    Title: Re: Reverse Mafia: Signups
    Post by: pisskop on November 20, 2016, 02:12:43 pm
    Yes.  When a hammer happens the game is in 'twilight', where all votes are void and you're simply waiting for me to close the day.  Talking is allowed, but the day is over.
    Title: Re: Reverse Mafia: Signups
    Post by: TheBiggerFish on November 20, 2016, 02:16:07 pm
    Are there Extend/Shorten votes?
    Title: Re: Reverse Mafia: Signups
    Post by: pisskop on November 20, 2016, 02:17:47 pm
    Extension votes can be made, and Ill honor them, but a lynch will end the day.


    I usually prefer shorter dayphases when playing myself, 14/2 phases were the srtandard of the site I play on.
    Title: Re: Reverse Mafia: Signups

    Title: Re: Reverse Mafia: Signups
    Post by: TheWetSheep on November 20, 2016, 04:56:02 pm
    Are there limits to extensions? Normally, if people have extensions available, they take them, so it'd be good to limit to one or two. I'd actually be in favour of none, barring exceptional circumstances -- week-long days are long enough and the pressure of impending day-end can be good.

    ...interesting that in this setup lynching inexperienced town is the best thing ever.
    Title: Re: Reverse Mafia: Signups
    Post by: pisskop on November 20, 2016, 04:58:55 pm
    Id prefer you dont extend at all.  I dont want to see a day take more than 2 weeks.

    Title: Re: Reverse Mafia: Signups
    Post by: hector13 on December 05, 2016, 05:42:08 pm
    Things tend to go super slow 'round here, especially when there's another game on. Not too many Mafia folk :(

    I guess the main factor regarding sign-ups would be if you need the game to start soon. At the risk of telling you what to do, if worse comes to worst, you might as well amend role distribution.

    A mountainous game shouldn't be too hard to do that with /minimal GM experience.

    welp.

    7 people is enough.
    2 mafias ... with NKs that means 2 MLs to peg, and thats rude.  So Im thinkificating ...

    If we "gave" scum an extra NK when one of the were roped then ...

    7, 6 <- Town lynched
    5, 4, 3 <- Scum was lynched
    2 <- eg

    or if we gave town a bullet when scum was ropeadoped ...

    7, 6, 5 <- scum roped
    4, 3


    Well, I think giving town a bullet has its own risks.  Even though town kill sources are usually stronger than scum ones, forcing scum to make an extra kill when on of theirs died would even it out some?  Since they cant kill themselves.  nope, I want a town ks.

    hmmm.  how to give it.  Lottery?  Vote?  A vote could give it to scum, in theory.

    So I. think a dayvig of some kind.



    hmmmm, What if I randomed it?  Gave everyone a number prior and pulled one up, rerolling any scum hit?
    Nooo.

    I think Id let town vote on it since there would only be one scum left.






    [line]

    Ive got it!
    We take out the NightKill and give scum a 'vengeful' kill that activates when one of them dies!

    So, to recap, 7 players.
    2 red 5 green
    when one scum gets a rope the other gets to kill a single townie that night.

    nights are 24 hours to give scum time to talk and me time to get to a computer.


    This means that
    7 d1
    6 d2
    5 d3

    4 d4 stalemate, town win if no dead scum.  OR 3 lylo if scum got roped.


    hunh?  enh?  yes? I am of hearing the affirmitations?

    Title: Re: Reverse Mafia: Signups
    Post by: pisskop on January 18, 2017, 04:01:04 pm
    a forced townkill to balance the game?

    its a handicap onto maf.  which is inherently strong in 7p mountainous
    and it speeds up the game too, whichisnice
    Title: Re: Reverse Mafia: Signups

    In that case. Imic: what would you think if I voted your buddy Hector13

    As far as I can tell, it's safe to put two votes on someone but not any more in case they are scum.

    hector13, what do you think of this conclusion and how did I arrive at it?

    Yeah I don't read the rules very thoroughly all the time, skipped over them when I first signed up, went over them when the game began.

    Yes but that means your not doing anything with your vote when its on you, strikes me as a passive scum play who doesn't want to do anything too rash.  Just Intial thoughts though

    hector13, what do you think of this conclusion and how did I arrive at it?

    Reasonable conclusion, and I assume you arrived there by halving the number of votes it takes to hammer. Or hammer-2.

    Arguably not so much a reasonable conclusion, seeing as though there are two scum. That's enough for a self-vote and a quick hammer by their partner (further assuming they're not already on the wagon)

    Seeing as I want to get lynched, though, let's put me at:

    hector13, Lynch-1

    fillipk

    If you were to choose, would you like everyone to think you're buddying up to Imic or distancing yourself from him?

    They both implicate me as scum however one implicates Imic too while the other puts him against me.  I have no strong feelings one way or the other for this question (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ussCHoQttyQ)

    Seeing as I want to get lynched, though, let's put me at:

    hector13, Lynch-1

    lol no unvote hector13

    Here's my thought process:
    If there are two votes on someone, there are two options. If they are town, it's good to get them closer to getting lynched (but scum will do everything they can to avoid hammering anyway). If they are scum, then the most scum can do is do a quick self-vote followed by a hammer from the other scum (or vice versa). But that would immediately flag the second scum as scum because it's really suspicious to put someone at L-1 with so little info. So the second scum has to either wait a bit to vote or convince someone from the town to hammer.

    so hector, two questions:
    Why did you self-vote? I mean yes, we all want to get lynched, but why did you think self-voting would make someone else vote for you?
    And a second question: How many votes can safely be on someone with no further info tomorrow?

    Arguably not so much a reasonable conclusion, seeing as though there are two scum. That's enough for a self-vote and a quick hammer by their partner (further assuming they're not already on the wagon)

    Seeing as I want to get lynched, though, let's put me at:

    hector13, Lynch-1

    Here's my thought process:
    If there are two votes on someone, there are two options. If they are town, it's good to get them closer to getting lynched (but scum will do everything they can to avoid hammering anyway). If they are scum, then the most scum can do is do a quick self-vote followed by a hammer from the other scum (or vice versa). But that would immediately flag the second scum as scum because it's really suspicious to put someone at L-1 with so little info. So the second scum has to either wait a bit to vote or convince someone from the town to hammer.

    This follows my thoughts too. More on this later.

    so hector, two questions:
    Why did you self-vote? I mean yes, we all want to get lynched, but why did you think self-voting would make someone else vote for you?

    I didn't think self-voting would make someone else vote for me. What made you think I did?

    I thought you were going for a reaction test, so I reacted. I don't like RVS, so I decided to raise your reaction test and put myself at L-1. Like you say, scum!hector's scumbuddy is revealed if they quickhammer, and town!hector knows the rest of the Townies aren't going to pull the trigger a few hours into D1.

    So, you and fillipk provide optimal town-ish reactions by backing off from that.

    The biggest issue I have with the reactions, though, is they're frickin' identical:

    lol no unvote hector13

    Hahahaha No. unvote

    What should the rest of us think of that?

    And a second question: How many votes can safely be on someone with no further info tomorrow?

    If you want me to be pedantic, zero.

    If you want me to be optimum, probably no more than L-2. There are two scum, therefore they need to convince two Town to vote with them to guarantee they get the lynch they want today.

    However, at present, it's RVS, we have no information to be optimal with, and while pedantry is fun, it isn't particularly useful in Mafia. If we have no further information tomorrow, we're still in RVS, and you need to take risks to get information, so L-1 for a short time will probably be fine. Scum can't risk quick hammers at this point.

    As far as I can tell, it's safe to put two votes on someone but not any more in case they are scum.

    Interesting, my immediate reaction was to Unvote so I did that, but thinking about it it's perfectly fine to leave someone at L-1 in this stage, I'm not going to revote you, but it's an interesting thought.

    If your at L-1 and a mafia hammers you and you flip mafia, the mafia lose. Period. So we aren't scared of that happening.  If you flip town then yay we lynched town and we are one step closer to winning and we can assume nothing as we enter a WIFOM moment.
    If a town hammers you and you flip mafia then we can't lynch the guy who hammered you because he might be mafia, If you flip town then we have a WIFOM moment where we don't lynch the person who hammered you.

    In no situation would the person hammering you ever be up for a lynch so nobody would hammer you, therefore the amount of votes on a person does not matter right now, as hammering now by any person is a death sentence.

    Anyway we need to get responses from the two people who haven't posted yet but thank you Hector for doing that.  Very interesting.

    On another note I have no idea why TDS has the exact same response as me, especially over an hour after I posted it.. Seems like he's trying to buddy with me, top pick to be scum right now.

    TBF I put a vote on someone because I knew one vote was safe as I explained in my first post so it didn't matter where I put it.  They needed someone else to vote them then they could do the double quick hammer thing.  I have since updated my view to say that only the 4th vote matters right now as a random quick hammer is really bad for whoever did it.  I'm surprised I needed to explain that to you seeing as I already explained why voting yourself is the worst most passive thing you could do.

    I don't mind. Bread for the bread god, I suppose. I mean, I don't know who's who, that is the point of the game after all. Why are you even doing this anyway? It seems random.
    Sorry forgot to get back to you on this, it was random that was the point, We need more proactive play in this game otherwise we won't find scum or do anything, there are no night actions so delaying does nothing, we just need people to post.

    Imic rank all the players in this game by who you think is most likely to be scum, exclude people who haven't posted aka TWS

    But I'm not asking you to give away information I'm asking you to take a more proactive play style and try to get other people to post, instead of relying on other people to do this for you as you are now.  As to giving away information, what information is there to give away? Seriously we have good players here so nothing I said hadn't already been realized or won't have been realized if they thought about it so its better to get the information out there so the town knows not to do something stupid.  If your talking about roles, they don't exist and even if they did playing passively is worse as that appears to be anti-information which is a scum thing to do.  Another thing that happens on day 1 is crazy gambits like Hector's self vote which panics people to respond without thinking too much, which gives us a lot of information.  And then there are questions which creates dialogues between people like this one right here.  So please do something with your time and bring us closer to deciding who to lynch day 1.

    No it wasn't.  He still needed someone else to vote for him and by doing that he makes that even more unlikely, there was no intention to get lynched right then and there in that.  He was doing that just to test and see how we would react so its a gambit.  It could have backfired heavily and made us very unlikely to lynch him.  If he was trying to be lynched then and there it would be like checking your opponent in chess by moving your Queen into danger, a very stupid move if you don't have a back-up plan.

    In the first post of the game, you voted for Hector13.
    Why hector?

    TBF
    Why are you so afraid of lynching someone?
    By definition, the decision of the town is 4/6 uninformed guesswork (and so theoretically mechanically random) and 2/6 pure scumwork.
    Is it better or worse to make a purely personal decision targeting 3/5 rather than letting a 33% biased group try to decide on 4/6?



    The basic concept of this game can basically be called 'find one scum to win'.
    In pure mountainous mafia, scum win if a scum player is in the top two least lynch-able players. Town need to fit both of these slots with town players who are not killed by mafia to win, which is often quite hard to achieve.
    This, on the other hand, is not a hard game. Any scum player who actually irrevocably slips up and outs themselves will lose the game for scum, as every member of the scum team must be lynched.
    Town, on the other hand, needs only lose half it's members, or at worst three. This gives a margin of leeway incase any member of town screws up, such as by making a gamble on a player at L-1 and hammering scum by mistake.

    The only real fear (until we lynch mafia) is that we put a player at 'L-1' and allow them to self hammer. This has already been stated in the thread, but it's so obviously true and relevant that it bears repeating.
    With this in mind, we must unfortunately assume that any player who does do this has the same causal responsibility as a player who actually places the hammer.

    Mountainous is always interesting because mechanically it's very hard to actually approach true randomness in lynching, so you can't really consider average values very well.
    Fortunately, unlike in straight mountainous, where the usual method is based around the inherently biased lynch preferences of players who a cleared by flipping from being lynched, a player could conceivably lead town simply by refusing to be lynched, which scum cannot do and win the game.
    The probability for a win from this is exactly even.

    Lynching a random player out of six options has very good outcomes though, if we can push past the scum and manage to do it.

    TDS, fillipk
    Why did you unvote hector?
    Why did you both unvote, when he wasn't at L-1 after fillipk unvoted?

    Conveniently, this setup allows me to issue ultimatums (it lets you do so too).
    I will not vote for any player who has not adequately outlined their position on the following (agreeing with another player is fine):
    Is this setup townsided?
    If not, is there any reason not to use the 'unlynchable martyr' technique and just have a town player claim, avoid lynches, and generate the lynches for the town using random.org (or w/e)?


    Actually that's it for RVS since hector has already promoted discussion.

    Fun fact: when reading over this thread before it went up for replacements, I felt the gut instinct to hammer Hector13. If I was playing from the start, I would have done so. This leads me to ask:

    Which players would have, in your opinion, not put themselves at L-1 if they were scum.

    Just a random vote, as stated before my vote doesn't mater unless it gives someone the ability to self hammer so I did it to get these questions asked and see how people would respond to a random vote in a mountainous mafia.

    I'd say its townsided because the mafia has a hard time coming back from any mistake they make, thus the best strategy is to just have everyone generate lots of content and create the most opportunities for mafia to make mistakes.  As for my ultimatum: I will not seriously vote for any player not engage in a meaningful discussion with the rest of the players.  If you are less active but post on a regular basis with decent content that is fine.

    1. Hell if I know
    2. Not likely an honest mistake as it was a super formatted post, thus the reason I think he did it was to try and change the narrative and see who went along with it, if TDS was scum he might have tried to promote the idea that he unvoted first and I'm the scum because of that, it was just another test which is what we should be doing all the time.
    3. No reason to leave the vote on, he could be doing something else with his vote during the day to find scum and it makes it more convenient to do that if you are not voting.
    4. Probably because you think I'm [redacted] and want to confirm those suspicions or prove them wrong
    5. To try and get me to think you agree with him that I'm scum even though he has put out no evidence for that point, you could have your own reasons and if you do I'm sure to find them out now.

    Why did you quote TDS before fillipk in your post, when your post raises the concern of their similarity where the order of the posts is extremely important?

    What makes the order of the posts important? I was addressing a similarity, so put the posts next to each other sans fluff so others could see it.

    I was posting using my phone at the time, and I was responding to TDS, so it was convenient for me to take the particular quote from the post that I had already quoted first, and then proceed to editing in fillipk's.

    Fun fact: when reading over this thread before it went up for replacements, I felt the gut instinct to hammer Hector13. If I was playing from the start, I would have done so.

    Why?

    I've never played with you before, but your posts in the theory thread suggest you have a fair amount of experience with mafia, and that you're also a thoughtful, rational player.

    Hammering someone in RVS doesn't strike me as something an experienced and/or logical player would do :P

    Hector13
    Which players would have, in your opinion, not put themselves at L-1 if they were scum.

    I think scum!TDS, probably. He tends to post less, so it'd be a bit harder for him to come across as Town and I don't think a self-vote would help that. I'm sure he knows this, and he has the experience to make up for it. Assuming his scum partner was on the wagon, he'd only have to convince two townies to vote him before self-hammering.

    These things happened before doll was in the game, why wait 'til now to bring it up?

    fillipk
    Why did TDS unvote?
    Why did Hector13 switch the post order of you and TDS? Was it really just an honest mistake caused by quoting while in the post window? Is there such a thing?
    Why did Hector13 unvote?
    Why am I asking you so many questions?
    Why am I voting TheBiggerFish
    1. Hell if I know
    2. Not likely an honest mistake as it was a super formatted post, thus the reason I think he did it was to try and change the narrative and see who went along with it, if TDS was scum he might have tried to promote the idea that he unvoted first and I'm the scum because of that, it was just another test which is what we should be doing all the time.
    3. No reason to leave the vote on, he could be doing something else with his vote during the day to find scum and it makes it more convenient to do that if you are not voting.
    4. Probably because you think I'm [redacted] and want to confirm those suspicions or prove them wrong
    5. To try and get me to think you agree with him that I'm scum even though he has put out no evidence for that point, you could have your own reasons and if you do I'm sure to find them out now.

    You offered your position on questions 2-4, despite not being privy to the whys behind them.

    Why did you not answer the first question, especially considering the question pertains to something you also did, and answered one later on the same subject?

    As an aside, you think too highly of me :P

    Oh and before I forget Hector13

    I don't like it when it's not immediately obvious why someone is voting for someone else.

    You defended me over the weekend citing your thoughts on my reaction test (it wasn't a gambit as I had nothing to lose from someone else hammering me there) even though I hadn't really made them clear beyond "I don't think anyone is going to hammer anyone else during RVS" so you weren't really open to my thought process.

    The vote could be an extension of that, but that seems a lot like buddying... particularly in light of your answer to question 2 from doll.

    I offered my opinion because I was asked and I shared the reasons why I would do such things if I was in their position.

    Question 1 didn't pertain to something I did, and the only reason i didn't answer it is because I have no idea why he unvoted in the same way as me.  It could be buddying but that makes no sense for he scum to do, could be an honest mistake but I doubt the hell out of that, at least until TDS posts more

    Maybe I'm building a strawman of you as someone who is taking gambits and risks in an attempt to find scum.  Or even if they weren't gambits in the first place they can be used as one and I'm crediting you with those, even if you didn't intend that. As for answer two, you never mentioned that you posted from phone so I am to assume you posted from a computer where you could format, thus the only reason you would put TDS first is if you were lazy or you were trying something, you don't seem lazy so I assumed you were trying something and thus I shared my thoughts on what that may be Anyway your my top pick for town right now, your reactions and answers have been too honest to be hiding something, that's why I'm voting for you.

    I have to ask though, why wouldn't you take credit for the gambits I'm saying you did?

    Just a random vote, as stated before my vote doesn't mater unless it gives someone the ability to self hammer so I did it to get these questions asked and see how people would respond to a random vote in a mountainous mafia.
    Sure

    Gut reaction to him being at L-12.  Don't know why TDS unvoted, I'm asking him the same thing.
    Why didn't you think this gut reaction through before changing your vote?
    At what point exactly (give a link) did you realize the supremely obvious fact that quick hammering scum would make you a pariah?

    Most importantly: why did you respond with "I don't know" rather than speculating in a game which has no mechanical information.

    Of course you have an idea.
    Why don't you post it?

    Conveniently, this setup allows me to issue ultimatums (it lets you do so too).
    I will not vote for any player who has not adequately outlined their position on the following (agreeing with another player is fine):
    Is this setup townsided?
    If not, is there any reason not to use the 'unlynchable martyr' technique and just have a town player claim, avoid lynches, and generate the lynches for the town using random.org (or w/e)?
    I'd say its townsided because the mafia has a hard time coming back from any mistake they make, thus the best strategy is to just have everyone generate lots of content and create the most opportunities for mafia to make mistakes.  As for my ultimatum: I will not seriously vote for any player not engage in a meaningful discussion with the rest of the players.  If you are less active but post on a regular basis with decent content that is fine.
    In your view then, activity is the primary marker of townhood in this game?

    1. Then speculate on it.
    2. Is TDS scum with Hector?
    3. Why is being unvoted different from leaving your vote on yourself?
    4. Actually, it's because of your activity pattern. Is this (activity pattern) a good or bad thing in my view?
    5. Actually I'm voting TBF because out of the active players town stands the least to gain from his continued presence. I lean toward suspecting that he might be scum. Why am I voting for a player I lean toward suspecting to be scum?

    fillipk
    Why didn't you ask me a question?
    Do you not care about finding out my role, say, because you already know it?

    Why?

    I've never played with you before, but your posts in the theory thread suggest you have a fair amount of experience with mafia, and that you're also a thoughtful, rational player.

    Hammering someone in RVS doesn't strike me as something an experienced and/or logical player would do :P
    From my point of view:
    I am clear.
    If I hammer a random other player, I put the game into a better than 50% chance of a win even assuming I am unvoteable if I hammer scum.
    By creating discussion without any risk to town (so long as you are town), you were the most clearly pro-town player at that time.
    Quickhammering you would regardless create discussion the next day, so your activity would not necessarily be missed.

    What makes the order of the posts important? I was addressing a similarity, so put the posts next to each other sans fluff so others could see it.

    I was posting using my phone at the time, and I was responding to TDS, so it was convenient for me to take the particular quote from the post that I had already quoted first, and then proceed to editing in fillipk's.
    Missed this.
    Post order can imply one player was copying the reaction of the other.
    Are you saying that you were concerned purely by the posts indicating a scumteam, rather than scum mimicking town?

    If not, is there any reason not to use the 'unlynchable martyr' technique and just have a town player claim, avoid lynches, and generate the lynches for the town using random.org (or w/e)?

    1. Yes, see my analysis below.
    2. If one town player volunteers to not be lynched and picks lynches at random, then they have these odds in lynching town: Day 1: 3/5; Day 2: 2/4 or 3/4; Day 3: [1/3 - this would be a win already] or 2/3 or [3/3 - this would be a loss] or 2/3, depending on the events of the previous day; Day 4: [2/2 - this would be a loss] or 1/2  or [2/2 - this would be a loss] or 1/2, also depending on the lynches of the game. Adding up the probabilities, we get a (3/5)(2/4) + (3/5)(2/4)(2/3) + (2/5)(3/4)(2/3)(1/2) = 60% chance to win and a (3/5)(2/4)(1/3) + (2/5)(1/4) + (2/5)(3/4)(1/3) + (2/5)(3/4)(2/3)(1/2) = 40% chance to lose. Let's do it.

    Town
    Hector13

    Unknown
    TheDarkStar

    Useless
    TheBiggerFish
    Imic

    Moe as fuck
    doll



    With how good our chances are anyway (50%) and how scummy fillipk has been, I'm quite happy to declare myself as the unlynchable town leader and lynch hector, then roll randomly out of the non-fillipk players for the rest of the lynch order.
    If fillipk is scum, this plan is autowin.
    If hector is town and fillipk has a random role, this plan has a 2/3 chance of winning.

    Since this plan already incorporates the hurdle of my not being lynchable, even though I know I'm town, I'm happy to commit to it right now.
    However, I suppose I would prefer to by lynched D2. It's another layer of safety (from my point of view) and fillipk has confirmed multiple times that I am town in his mind and his vote is on Hector13, so I know that he should have no problem with a Hector-Doll lynch order. If he changes his mind about me after slipping so strongly, I'll be even happier to assume he's scum.
    Incidentally, my gut feeling is that Hector13 and fillipk have been acting like a corny mid-grade scumteam, the sort of thing you see in a BM where the better player ends up bussing the other fairly quickly due to legitimately hunting and pushing on their poor play. If this is true, then fillipk is still scum and all is good so long as we don't lynch him.

    During the night I've given this a lot of thought, realized I was over thinking it, gave it a lot of thought, realized I was over thinking it, gave it a lot of thought and realized what I thought was right.

    I could give walls of analysis on why all but one person's play (including mine, as you can so clearly see) so far has been anti-town, but I don't need to because one player has been scummy.

    fillipk

    I have no townreads but I've come to the conclusion that that's probably because you're all town.

    So you had concerns about hector being scum. Then why vote for him?
    doll, explain why you thought hector was town?
    These have the same answer:
    Hector was an active and pro-town player. This is a nulltell but suggests that if he remained in the game as scum he would probably be able to get his partner lynched without becoming overly suspicious.
    My pick for a Hector13 scumteam was overwhelmingly fillipk, as I mentioned in that post.
    Even on a mislynch, I was and am still 80% confident that fillipk is scum and we've won.
    I don't expect you to think that I'm town after that fiasco. But if you are thinking that I am the scum, leave me alive with fillipk and town will still win if I'm right.
    I expect to be right.

    Can I just point out the stupidity of going after the person wanting to be unlynchable for being scum, especially before seeing Hector flip scum.  This is literally just throwing shade at Doll for no good reason what so ever.  What's Doll's plan now if she's scum, wait till there's like 3 people left and try to get herself lynched, never going to fly as she wanted to be unlynchable so she can't bring up anything about wanting to be lynched without looking scummy.

    TDS, fillipk
    Why did you unvote hector?
    Why did you both unvote, when he wasn't at L-1 after fillipk unvoted?
    Gut reaction to him being at L-12.  Don't know why TDS unvoted, I'm asking him the same thing.
    Why didn't you think this gut reaction through before changing your vote?
    At what point exactly (give a link) did you realize the supremely obvious fact that quick hammering scum would make you a pariah?
    Here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=161581.msg7341458#msg7341458)

    Most importantly: why did you respond with "I don't know" rather than speculating in a game which has no mechanical information.
    I mean what do you want me to speculate.  I literately see no town reason for him to do such a thing, especially the way he did it
    TDS, fillipk
    Why did you unvote hector?
    Why did you both unvote, when he wasn't at L-1 after fillipk unvoted?

    As hector self-voted, I saw him as much more scummy. Hence, I unvoted to signal that.


    I don't even buy this, especially since he didn't put that when he unvoted, he did exactly the same thing I did, laughed at it and unvoted. 

    Hector13
    Why did you quote TDS before fillipk in your post, when your post raises the concern of their similarity where the order of the posts is extremely important?

    RVS coming in the next post I guess
    I second this question, though i have an idea as to why i would do that.
    Of course you have an idea.
    Why don't you post it?
    You asked me that question when you asked me the 5 questions and I answered it then. 

    Conveniently, this setup allows me to issue ultimatums (it lets you do so too).
    I will not vote for any player who has not adequately outlined their position on the following (agreeing with another player is fine):
    Is this setup townsided?
    If not, is there any reason not to use the 'unlynchable martyr' technique and just have a town player claim, avoid lynches, and generate the lynches for the town using random.org (or w/e)?
    I'd say its townsided because the mafia has a hard time coming back from any mistake they make, thus the best strategy is to just have everyone generate lots of content and create the most opportunities for mafia to make mistakes.  As for my ultimatum: I will not seriously vote for any player not engage in a meaningful discussion with the rest of the players.  If you are less active but post on a regular basis with decent content that is fine.
    In your view then, activity is the primary marker of townhood in this game?
    One of them, yes.  It also gives more information to analyze which helps us figure out who the scum are.  So while being active isn't the end all to being town it prevents scum from hiding behind a low post count.


    fillipk
    Why did TDS unvote?
    Why did Hector13 switch the post order of you and TDS? Was it really just an honest mistake caused by quoting while in the post window? Is there such a thing?
    Why did Hector13 unvote?
    Why am I asking you so many questions?
    Why am I voting TheBiggerFish
    1. Hell if I know
    2. Not likely an honest mistake as it was a super formatted post, thus the reason I think he did it was to try and change the narrative and see who went along with it, if TDS was scum he might have tried to promote the idea that he unvoted first and I'm the scum because of that, it was just another test which is what we should be doing all the time.
    3. No reason to leave the vote on, he could be doing something else with his vote during the day to find scum and it makes it more convenient to do that if you are not voting.
    4. Probably because you think I'm [redacted] and want to confirm those suspicions or prove them wrong
    5. To try and get me to think you agree with him that I'm scum even though he has put out no evidence for that point, you could have your own reasons and if you do I'm sure to find them out now.

    Oh and before I forget Hector13
    1. Then speculate on it.
    2. Is TDS scum with Hector?
    3. Why is being unvoted different from leaving your vote on yourself?
    4. Actually, it's because of your activity pattern. Is this (activity pattern) a good or bad thing in my view?
    5. Actually I'm voting TBF because out of the active players town stands the least to gain from his continued presence. I lean toward suspecting that he might be scum. Why am I voting for a player I lean toward suspecting to be scum?

    fillipk
    Why didn't you ask me a question?
    Do you not care about finding out my role, say, because you already know it?
    Oh you mean when I asked all the active players a question, you weren't in the game then, if you want me to ask you a question fine How would you go about winning as scum right now.

    1. I did in this post
    2. I'd go with yes now, seeing as Hector flipped scum, first off he backed off Hector without even saying he thought Hector was more scum just saying lol no after there was no possibility of a quick hammer.  Second, as i pointed out at the top of the post he throws shade at Doll before Hector flips scum, in fact it was part of the last content of the day which could just be a coincidence.  But since Doll is happy to claim unlynchable, and I'm happy to put her there implying Doll might be scum makes very little sense except to make the town trust Doll less.
    3. Just personal preference the answer to that question was me putting my views on TBF, however I mostly had issue with this post (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=161581.msg7343335#msg7343335) by TBF where he implies that he's just going to use his words to try and fine scum.
    4. You seem to think its bad calling out my play as negative or anti-town due to lack of hunting, I'm not sure I agree with you when it comes down to a lack of hunting
    5. I'd say its because you don't suspect him of being scum that much, after all your only leaning that way.... wait a minute TBF has done less hunting then me and your telling everyone I'm scum for less scum hunting, anything else you would like to add into why you think I'm scum?


    Oh and before I forget Hector13

    I don't like it when it's not immediately obvious why someone is voting for someone else.

    You defended me over the weekend citing your thoughts on my reaction test (it wasn't a gambit as I had nothing to lose from someone else hammering me there) even though I hadn't really made them clear beyond "I don't think anyone is going to hammer anyone else during RVS" so you weren't really open to my thought process.

    The vote could be an extension of that, but that seems a lot like buddying... particularly in light of your answer to question 2 from doll.
    fillipk
    Your response to this contributes nothing other than literal WIFOM about whether or not a player was posting from phone, and even that you back away from almost straight away.
    Why are you so desperate not to push on another player?
    Why are you now voting Hector13?
    1.  Oh please he claimed he was posting from his phone
    I was posting using my phone at the time, and I was responding to TDS, so it was convenient for me to take the particular quote from the post that I had already quoted first, and then proceed to editing in fillipk's.


    No WIFOM created at all as i was explaining my thoughts behind answer two as I didn't have this piece of information when i answered it.
    2. I was pushing on TBF, (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=161581.msg7343737#msg7343737) he just never responded the rest of the day.  TBF why did you think I was scum? you never did answer that.
    3. I thought he was town, i thought it was pretty clear when i said I thought his responses were too honest to be scum, also as you pointed out he was active in conversation, probably more so then anyone except me and Doll, and almost all of his posts generated discussion even if he claims he didn't intend it like that. 

    All and all I think TBF is a safe lynch today but I would like to drag out this day to get more information on Imic, who has barely posted and TDS.

    You never asked all players in the game a general question.
    You asked TWS a truly trivial RVS question.
    You only asked me a question, a despite my being a new and active player, after I prompted you, at a time when I am under policy-do-not-lynch.
    The question you did ask me is pointless WIFOM, at a time when we're discussing actually relevant events.

    Allow me to drill this into your mind:
    I pick who comes with me into the final two.
    If you are town, you lose (and so does everyone else).
    If you are scum, you lose.
    Convince me that you are town. Because that's not what you're doing right now.

    2. Actually, TDS seemed to be considering the fact that I didn't actually claim unlynchable, just say that I would do so if necessary. You've forced me into the role of unlynchable now. If I could pick the final two, I would have had some doubt who else to put with you, but outside of a truly stellar game from now on it's you and me. If you're saying that yes, TDS is scum then that means that you think I'm not scum and yet you're tunneling me into being unlynchable.
    Would you therefore accept a final two of you and TDS, knowing that that means that scum loses if he is scum?
    4. A lack of hunting is anti-town. That's not why I picked up on you as scum, though.
    5. Wrong.

    I'll say it again.
    I think that fillpk (that's you) is scum because he appeared to know that I was town.
    A lack of scumhunting contributes to this thought.

    Fun fact: you also started D1's lynch on scum.

    No WIFOM created at all as i was explaining my thoughts behind answer two as I didn't have this piece of information when i answered it.
    Sure, except you never mentioned that at the time and that's not what I was calling you out on WIFOMing in.



    doll

    Hector13
    Why did you quote TDS before fillipk in your post, when your post raises the concern of their similarity where the order of the posts is extremely important?

    What makes the order of the posts important? I was addressing a similarity, so put the posts next to each other sans fluff so others could see it.

    I was posting using my phone at the time, and I was responding to TDS, so it was convenient for me to take the particular quote from the post that I had already quoted first, and then proceed to editing in fillipk's.

    Maybe I'm building a strawman of you as someone who is taking gambits and risks in an attempt to find scum.  Or even if they weren't gambits in the first place they can be used as one and I'm crediting you with those, even if you didn't intend that. As for answer two, you never mentioned that you posted from phone so I am to assume you posted from a computer where you could format, thus the only reason you would put TDS first is if you were lazy or you were trying something, you don't seem lazy so I assumed you were trying something and thus I shared my thoughts on what that may be Anyway your my top pick for town right now, your reactions and answers have been too honest to be hiding something, that's why I'm voting for you.

    I have to ask though, why wouldn't you take credit for the gambits I'm saying you did?
    Except, I was wrong from the start.
    It's not WIFOM.
    You were defending Hector13's behavior, while still saying that he was intentionally swapping the posts.

    I want to lynch Imic and TBF first.
    I wanted to lynch Imic first because he's even less active to the point where he literally did not vote, but he's also more suspicious.
    TBF is playing into his usual meta. I don't have a real problem with saying that he's town, even if his behavior hasn't been very helpful.

    I'll wait for more input on the inactive players before we go ahead with getting rid of them.
    (it's safe to do so because fillipk is scum)

    Doll I never said that I thought you were town, I don't think I every implied that  The only person I was decently sure was town day 1 was Hector13 and that turned out to be wrong oh well.  Now I'm decently sure your town as i think TDS is scum.

    Interesting, I didn't notice that, though I would like you to explain my thoughts if i was his scum buddy and i only focused on getting him lynched, what's my follow up plan to convince people that I'm not scum seeing as the only person I voted turned up scum.  Whats my follow up plan, especially considering me and Hector would have been communicating all day and fleshing out this plan.  You said it yourself Hector is a decent player, so even if I wasn't he would have helped me with this plan.

    I mean what do you want me to speculate.  I literately see no town reason for him to do such a thing, especially the way he did it
    So was it a mistake or was it scummy?
    Defintiely scummy in my opinion, like you have called me out for it just creates WIFOM if or if not Doll was scum trying to get their scum buddy lynched or if they were town and made an honest mistake.  When you consider the fact that it was the hammer vote it makes this even worse as we get to think about that during the night and probably focus our examinations on you instead of anyone else.

    One of them, yes.  It also gives more information to analyze which helps us figure out who the scum are.  So while being active isn't the end all to being town it prevents scum from hiding behind a low post count.
    Is TheBiggerFish or Imic scummier?
    Why?

    Is TDS activelurking?
    Until he responds to my question as to why he thinks I'm scum he is right now.  but I don't have  a read on Imic so that's why I suggested TBF to be lynched today.  TBF has been playing this new town scummy style of low scum hunting, passive voting, almost active lurking that reads as new town or scum in my book, Its not any one singular action he took but all his actions which basically did nothing on day 1.  I will update this after TBF responds a bit more.

    Yes I would say TDS is active lurking, he's had a decent amount of content but he's responded with the simplest of answers and asked the simplest of questions. (His probability analysis, while nice didn't help find scum so I'm ignoring that for now.)  Maybe its just his post style but I don't think I've seen him give reads or any indication on who he thinks is scum except you Doll.

    TDS.  Seeing as I have called you out for active lurking please produce reads within the next 24 hours or as soon as you see this post, I will be checking when you were last active to make sure you aren't ignoring this.

    1. Then speculate on it.
    2. Is TDS scum with Hector?
    3. Why is being unvoted different from leaving your vote on yourself?
    4. Actually, it's because of your activity pattern. Is this (activity pattern) a good or bad thing in my view?

    Neither has anyone else but you.
    Yeah and? He didn't respond I didn't pick him to be one of the ones I came up with a good question for.
    I wasn't an active player that much after you joined.  If you remember I had two posts after you joined before day 1 ended and it was just to answer some questions from you and Hector.  Should we assume Imic pretended to know our alignments as he never asked any questions, how about TBF, he didn't even post after you joined

    Yeah I asked you a question after you asked me too and it did pertain to the situation at hand, TDS thinks you might be scum so I had you explain how you would go about being lynched if you were scum since Hector turned up scum.

    Sure, lets see your argument that I'm scum is a general lack of scum hunting along with me ignoring you in my two posts after you joined and voting for Hector almost all of day 1.  Lets ignore the scum hunting part for now since you said it wasn't your main concern.  I talked about my vote at the top of this post, so about me ignoring you, lets see I don't think your going to accept a simple I didn't ask anyone questions in those posts I just posted them to answer questions and get discussions going so I'm just going to have to prove TDS is scummier then me.

    2.  Fair enough if we didn't get scum and there were still 2 out there but since we did get scum I would like to put you in the unlynchable spot for now, or at least skip you day 2.  One problem with the TDS taking into consideration you didn't claim unlynchable, if Hector flipped scum we could just easily put you in the unlynchable spot as you said you would be willing to do that, which he should have realized since he was referencing you not claiming the position of unlynchable.  Just so its not just me how do the rest of you (Doll you should answer this too please) feel about making Doll unlynchable, explain why please

    5. Then why, you asked me to speculate and I did now why would you do that?

    Honestly more so then anything I appeared lazy more then I thought you were town.  I didn't feel like pressuring TWS as he wasn't posting and I did the bare minimum with my posts after you came back.  Plus until TBF responds your really the only one who thinks I'm scum that has a case, your also the loudest


    I was defending his behavior and calling it out at the same time, it was so trivial that it didn't matter unless someone made a stupid mistake that made them look like scum.  It was so easy to confirm as the incorrect ordering that it was probably an honest mistake, however I saw the post as being formatted so I logic-ed myself down a rabbit hole where the behavior looked town, and if we are going to be honest it wasn't scummy behavior

    I know I asked TDS for reads, I would like to hear everyone's reads too, just TDS's especially.

    Here's Mine:
    Doll: Probably town, was the most active on day 1 considering when they came in, decided on a scum lynch though so just to be safe I would like to put them in the unlynchable position.  Probably my second top scum pick.
    TDS: My top scum pick for a combination of active lurking on day 1 and creating WIFOM when there was a simpler solution if he really thought Doll was scum.  Read my posts this day for more detailed info
    TBF: Reads as New Town but with scummy behavior I just want him to post with more details really but my third top pick to be scum ATM.
    Imic: Just needs to post to be honest.  I'm pretty sure if he was scum he would be posting more as he would have someone telling him specifically to post more.

    Hector is a decent player so he took what he could get.
    You weren't extraordinarily connected to the lynch, and infact were the least visible of the three of us who were equally responsible for it (you started it, I stood on top of the wagon, and TDS hammered).
    You never needed to win D2. There doesn't need to be such an important and powerful plan. Scum had a good opportunity, and took it.

    fillipk
    Just so its not just me how do the rest of you (Doll you should answer this too please) feel about making Doll unlynchable, explain why please
    I don't intend to be lynched before the last day. This is so that I can keep you in the game.
    If I'm given the opportunity to be lynched on the last day I'll take it, obviously.
    If you think that I'm probably town, you should have no problem at all with lynching me on Day 4 if you can't convince me to lynch you.

    Quote from: me
    fillipk has confirmed multiple times that I am town in his mind
    For clarification because this turns the lack of hunting into an actual scum slip rather than anti-town behavior, check this out:
    4. Probably because you think I'm [redacted] and want to confirm those suspicions or prove them wrong
    5. To try and get me to think you agree with him that I'm scum even though he has put out no evidence for that point, you could have your own reasons and if you do I'm sure to find them out now.
    4. Yes, he stated blandly that I do not know his role in a mountainous game.
    5. Yes, he actually said that.
    The above is the core of my case against you.

    Why you are scummy:
    1) You speculated about my motivations without even the slightest hint of doubt that I was town.
    2) You gave written consideration to what role I thought you were, but none at all to what role I was.
    3) You did not ask me a single question in response to the 5+ that I asked you and you answered, despite it being D1 and my being a new, active player in the game.

    These suggests to me that you knew that I was town.
    Therefore, they suggest to me that you are scum.

    Why you are anti-town:
    A) Generally poor responses to questions, a lack of willingness to offer speculation, even occasionally when directly pressed for it.
    B) Started the lynch on Hector13 (Scum) with next to no explanation for why at the time.

    Everyone still in the thread has made meaningful mistakes (Hector didn't clearly), so these are less concerning (also they're nulltells).

    In other words:
    fillipk has confirmed multiple times that I am town in his mind and his vote is on Hector13, so I know that he should have no problem with a Hector-Doll lynch order. If he changes his mind about me after slipping so strongly, I'll be even happier to assume he's scum.
    Incidentally, my gut feeling is that Hector13 and fillipk have been acting like a corny mid-grade scumteam, the sort of thing you see in a BM where the better player ends up bussing the other fairly quickly due to legitimately hunting and pushing on their poor play. If this is true, then fillipk is still scum and all is good so long as we don't lynch him.

    TDS you were last active Today which is more then 24 hours after I asked you for your reads.  You made a post on the Games Threshold and Discussion List 4 hours after I asked you for reads within 24 hours so I'm pretty sure you saw it.  So what gives?

    Unlike discussion threads, mafia threads take time more than 10 seconds of time/effort to make a good post. And your request for reads was buried in the middle of a massive post.

    Anyway, my reads:

    fillipk - scummy for a combination of voting for scummy, responding defensively and not scumhunting, and having a set of reads that lists everyone as scum (his change of opinion on doll is also notable).
    doll - probably town due to activity and scumhunting, but I'm still worried because he/she sees a possibility of being lynched later on after claiming the unlynchable spot and directing lynch yesterday. As this game seems to be heading towards a day 4 with me/doll/fillipk, doll's vote will likely decide who wins.
    imic - Left, but I'm pretty sure he's town. If he was scum, he wouldn't have left so close to winning. He hasn't done all the much in general, though - if he's still alive to be replaced, I intend to question his replacement a lot.
    TBF - more town leaning, but he hasn't been that active today either.



    TheDarkStar
    Is there any chance that TheBiggerFish or Imic are scum?

    Imic - no, see my read.
    TBF - we don't have much info from him and I'm much more comfortable with an imic lynch. Mostly, I'd like to see his reads.



    Anyway, right now I think imic is the safest lynch for reasons stated above.

    I'll comment here for clarity:
    TDS/fillipk/doll is my intended Day 4.
    To win on that Day 4 scum!fillipk has to convince either of us to vote for him. It looks like his plan is to cast me as 'unlynchable' (which is easily justified) and to look like he's hunting by pushing on TDS. This is a good plan, except I haven't seen him make anything stick against TDS other than anti-town play, which with two of us being inactive and three of us having voted scum in a shamelessly quick hammer, isn't really anything new.
    I'd also like to note that fillipk positioned himself against inactive players on D1. At first I was worried that this was WIFOM (before Hector flipped) but I think it was actually just a (scum) mistake; since town lose if they make a mistake as opposed to the normal state of winning if they pick right, excluding people from the pick just because they don't look very towny isn't really helpful. It is helpful if that category of player doesn't include the one person you need to get lynched, though.

    Anyway, to get to the point:
    The reason I've not thrown away the last whisper of a chance of getting lynched is that on D4 I would prefer a doll lynch with TDS and fillipk left alive than a TDS lynch with fillipk and a clear (in my mind) left alive.
    If fillipk really does read you more strongly than he does me, since neither of us is likely to vote for him then his best bet as town is probably to vote me (since he's not getting voted). If he does do that, he can still win as town even with our reads as they stand. He's probably not town which is probably why he's creating distance from me right now (so he can convince me not to vote myself, as it were). If you (TDS) are scum then you've done a good job at convincing me not to hope for a lynch of myself in the final three, but since my read on Hector is based on his behavior rather than a process of elimination, I'm not overly concerned.

    imic - Left, but I'm pretty sure he's town. If he was scum, he wouldn't have left so close to winning. He hasn't done all the much in general, though - if he's still alive to be replaced, I intend to question his replacement a lot.
    TBF - more town leaning, but he hasn't been that active today either.

    I can't disagree with any of this.
    Imic

    Hammer Imic.

    D3 you're going to be the top lynch target, so expect a lot of pressure (at least from TDS, anyway).

    I enjoyed that. Would've enjoyed it more had Imic not had RL happen, but ah well. I think Mafia Marathon put me in a better mindset for playing as scum.

    Also, scumchat (https://www.quicktopic.com/52/H/EYk8LcwNywAk), and the single post in deadchat (https://www.quicktopic.com/52/H/yPRfki7H3mp9u).

    I find that funny, anyway my plan was to camp the thread on day 4 and vote for the person who didn't vote for themselves since I had given up hope of convincing Doll once I understood her case on me.  My thought process being that the scum player wouldn't risk a non-self vote with 2 to hammer.

    My expected D4 was:
    1) Try to convince fillipk to lynch me
    2) fillipk tries to convince me to lynch them
    3) lynch TDS

    So the three of us who least trusted each other (me/doll/fillipk) were all town :P
    I thought you were town, but I was of the opinion that if the scum was either Imic or TBF that they would be literally unreadable (they were) and there would have been no way to tell (there wasn't). While it was suspicious that there was no information on them, I never expected to have information on them.
    Fillipk's slip was eh, I dunno. I guess you were addressing me directly, but it still felt odd that you spoke so surely that I was town. The nature of the format forced me to tunnel and here we are.
    Proof again that all scum needs to succeed is for town to look scummier than they do.
