Title: Beginner's Mafia XLIX: The Journalist Underground | Mafia Victory
Post by: Tiruin on August 17, 2014, 02:23:58 pm
Beginner's Mafia XLIX
The Underground Press
     In the year of 19██, a revolution began in the area of Xlix. This was the century marked in history fraught with war. A war of words. Where governance would begin in the foundation of corruption, and thought be steeped in the order of tyranny, new methods had to come where military force was used against the true concept of law.

     The overworld was silent. Only a few buildings were lit: infrastructure deemed important to be working 24/7 by those too unwary or unaware of the governing fist that bound them there. Many only knew what was channeled to them to know, functioning without the open-mindedness for societal growth. Brevity, was the discourse of the day, and details were brief giving only the vaguest ideas of imagination. It lasted for so long that the psyche and culture adapted ever so slowly to the creep of the new age. This was a dark time for the people--yet not all were blind.

     In the city underground, there were those who drank from the cup of logic and thrived on the word of the wise: those that thought on the concept of the free, yet knew their limits as to their humanity. This is the Journalist Underground, a significant threat to the governing tyrant and those which the people would listen to everyday.

     It was only a matter of time before the word broke out, yet even with extremes drawn in intangible lines, there are dissidents who fall one way or another.

Introduction

Welcome to Beginner's Mafia XLIX. As the title suggests, this game is for beginners. If you have no idea how to play or you have some experience but you're still not quite sure what to do, then this is the right place for you. If you sign up, you have one goal: Learn how to play the game of mafia. Since this is not an easy thing to do on your own and we wouldn't dream of forcing you to do it, you will be assisted by two 'inexperience challenged' players, or ICs. The ICs are experienced players on the board who have signed up to help you learn. You can always trust that the advice they give is genuine, however, you cannot always trust the IC, as they are players in the game and have the same likelihood of being scum as every other single player.

If this is your first time playing, keep in mind that games of forum mafia take several weeks, and can sometimes run longer than a month, and that you are expected to be able to play continuously through that time. If you can't anticipate being able to play for that long for whatever reason, then maybe the game of mafia isn't for you. But if it is, then welcome to the mafia subforum, and I hope you have a great time playing.



Gameplay and Concept

The game of mafia has a simple concept. A large group of players known as the town plays against a smaller group of players known as the mafia. In this setup, there are nine players, with seven town and two mafia.

Before the game begins, each players is given a role and an alignment by the moderator. There are two alignments in this setup: Town and Mafia. The town outnumber the mafia, but each individual member of the town does not know the alignment of any of the other members. The mafia know the alignment of everyone on their team and they can discuss the game privately in a special mafia chat. The mafia has access to a nightkill that they may use in the Night phase, while the town occasionally has roles with abilities that are used during the night.

Once everyone has a role, the game begins in the Day phase. During the Day phase, players may discuss the game and each player has a vote that they cast publicly to lynch a player. At the end of the day after some predetermined amount of time, the player with the most votes is lynched. Lynching does two things: it reveals a player's role and alignment, and it removes a player from the game. Once lynched, a player is no longer allowed to post in the thread.

Once the day ends, the game proceeds to Night. During the Night, discussion is prohibited. The mafia team picks a target to nightkill. If available, any town power roles use their actions as well. At the end of the night, the target the mafia chose to nightkill has their role and alignment revealed, and that player is removed from the game in a similar way to being lynched. Once the night ends, the game proceeds to another Day.

Both teams win by eliminating the other. However, due to the nature of the teams, they win very differently. The town win by finding and lynching the mafia, while the mafia win by avoiding being lynched and nightkilling.

Potential Roles

Vanilla Townie - A member of the town with no special abilities.
Vanilla Mafioso - A member of the mafia with no special abilities.
Cop (Town) - A cop may choose to inspect a single player during the night and learn that player's alignment.
Jailkeeper (Town) - A combination of a Roleblocker and a Doctor, a Jailkeeper both protects and blocks the target from acting during the night.
Role Cop (Mafia) - Much like the Town Cop counterpart, the Role Cop investigates a single other during the night to learn their role, instead of their alignment.

This is still an experimental setup (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=126082.msg4252536#msg4252536)

The only role that receives the success of their results in this setup is the Cop and Rolecop. All other roles are not informed if they were successful or not.

One of the following setups is used:
1. 1 Mafioso, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 5 Vanilla Townies, Sane Cop, Jailkeeper.
2. 1 Mafioso, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 6 Vanilla Townies, Sane Cop.
3. 1 Mafioso, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 6 Vanilla Townies, Jailkeeper.

Notes about the ICs

The ICs are here solely to teach new players how to play, but remember, they are also players in the game. This means they have the same chance to be scum as any other player and it is entirely possible for one IC or even both ICs to be scum. Regardless of their alignment, they are obligated to provide you with genuine advice, so that even if you don't trust the IC, you can trust the advice they give. Some ICs will use a special 'IC voice' to alert players that they are delivering honest, unfiltered advice, while some don't.

The ICs have the special privilege of being able to talk while dead. This is so that they can continue to give advice even if they are killed during the course of the game.

Title: Re: Beginner's Mafia XLIX: The Journalist Underground
Post by: Tiruin on August 21, 2014, 10:41:05 am
It was dawn. A cold wind passed through the snow-covered land that made the people cling readily to their coats or shift uneasily in their blanketed cots. The wind moved through the windows of greyed buildings, echoing in somber tones, reflecting the state of age and depression that echoed quietly in the hearts of the masses. In a remote location, a flag fluttered and replied to the wind. Its symbolism announced: We are free. We will stand for freedom--and the meaning of this freedom is human.

A score of people watched the rising sun reflect its rays off the snowy horizon and looked to the billowing flag once, before the foremost person nodded and turned around towards a building half-buried in the snow. The others followed her, all clad in the thickest of coats and the puffiest of hats.

It was a while before the people gathered inside the building, in the underground of the over-tunnel. They gathered in a quaint room with a circular table in the middle and metal lockers lining the sides, amidst the silent hum of power generators and steam piping. A fluorescent bulb blinked into life overhead.

"This is a new day," called the female lead, bringing a folder and its stack of documents out of one of the lockers, spreading them out on the table. "And in this new day, we add onto progress. All of us will now assume pseudonyms: other names to protect our individuality. Why I say such, and in this formal manner, is due to the danger of thought. The government, as we all know in the National Times, has begun a crackdown on 'subversive and intrusive speaking'. In laymans terms, that means anyone that speaks against what they broadcast, their faith (however convoluted from the truth) and any insult towards the Great Leader Prime. Even compliments on his clothing, of course. Call me Tiruin, for those who have just arrived at the five-o-clock mast. I am the head composer and leader of this facility. As you may have seen in the directory board, your professions are in no way connected to who you truly are, to emphasize this danger."

She slid open the folder and brought out a pendulum-clock, setting it ticking after laying it upright.

"Time is against us. We have only until the dusk before we depart--I will stay behind with one other person to oversee the printing of the morning newspaper. Time will be told by this clock, and the many others in the different sections and departments. As you may have seen, this facility is quite well-a-ways from your homes, and even has provisional bunks and storage rooms (with a classy kitchen). These are emergency facilities and in no way must they be used as an alternative utility to your homes unless...otherwise. We must keep the facade of an abandoned bomb shelter up, lest the government see us and eliminate (or, technically add) this locality to their list of 'protected regions and provinces.'

"We are the nearest and greatest threat to their spread of power towards the hinterlands and northern caps. You were all briefed as to your labor in this area at the five-and-a-half mast, I believe, and prior to that I do hope you did not buy into our...honestly, paltry excuse for a 'profession slip'. I hereby repeat that you are not here to sample 'pristine quality' snow or 'hew zero-taste(TM) profile ice for processing into premium drinks' (I mean who buys into that khrappè?...apologies for that comment), and I wish you all well in your works. Complimentary snacks are to your own avail in the kitchen, and anyone still confused may send me a letter (or speak with me--I'm free, totally!) or ask one of the Intellectual Counselors on-site. It is nice to see such faces in these times.

"You are hereby dismissed to your duties. Glory to Xlixia."







Two traitors/spies/dissidents/bad people are hiding amongst you nine. Each day, you may vote off one person for the lynch through the majority.

Days come and go in 72 hours, nights take 24 hours. Weekends are not counted in the timer [and therefore act as added time in the Generic Calendar/Clock, linked in the date]. Take note that this BM uses a different extend/shorten scheme than the ones prior.

If you've any questions or things pertaining to your role, PM the Moderator [Tiruin].

Hi, I'm the Scum IC, and normally I'd advise the scum players in the scum chat, but since you new players are playing already and the ICs aren't here yet, I'm going to give you all a little bit of advice. And since I'm not playing, any in-thread advice I give you is trustworthy

Immaterial, random lynching is a bad idea, because we have a higher risk of killing our own.
That's true, but, if you read Bookthras's rant on D1 lynches, you'd know that its a risk worth taking. Quoted from the OP for convenience.
Random-lynching D1 is not the only alternative to No-lynch. Generally a D1 Lynch is only made after enough information has found to determine someone being scummy. How do you find that information? Ask lots of questions, randomly vote people to try and pressure them (along with questions) , and if you think something seems off, prod at it by asking more questions.

I guess I should question someone?

AleeCat what is your favourite colour?
This is a good start, but generally you should ask more game relevant questions. Here all AleeCat has to do is respond by saying blue, and she's of the hook. For instance, in one Mafia game I'm in I asked the question "Who do you feel you can reliably tell whether or not they're scum?" to Tiruin in my opening post. While I wouldn't recommend a question like that to a newer player (because you haven't played Mafia with anyone), find some question to ask.

Final piece of advice, look at previous Beginner's Mafias, and games in the Notable Games archive, for good examples of Mafia games and how people tend to play them.

If you were the jailkeeper, would you jail to block or jail to protect?


It would depend on the situation I guess...
Jailing to block wouldn't accomplish much with two scum, would it? So protect the cop (or wait until there is only one scum) if there were two scum.
But if there was only one, I would try to block the scum, because they couldn't kill someone in jail. That way no one dies, and you learn who the scum is.

I wouldn't kill someone who was also Mafia. Also, I probably wouldn't kill someone who was lurking, since they wouldn't be helping the town anyway. Same goes for people who active lurk (meaning they post fluff posts only).

If you were the cop, would you check the person who wasn't doing much or the person who was leading scumhunting?

I would be torn between the two. I wouldn't want a scum to be leading the scumhunt. But also their larger number of posts would present an easier read and is more likely to be town. But the one who wasn't doing much could be a scum who is lurking. So, I would probably check the one who wasn't doing much unless I had very strong suspicions of the scumhunter and wanted to confirm.

Sorry to inject a note of worry. But doesn't the jailer also protect the victim. So if you jailed the victim of the nightkill and you accused them of being scum. You could actually accuse and possibly lynch town. This would then expose your role as jailor for accusing the wrong person.

There is also a major hole in your logic. I don't think you are told whether you blocked the activity of the one jailed or blocked the incoming kill. So you are left none the wiser and you just pushed it to another day. For the certainty you are looking for you would have to be the doctor.

TheDarkStar: I have yet to play an actual game of mafia, so I'm not sure what would be the best scumtell. That said, I think that an important one and a good give away would be band-wagoning. It's fine to vote for someone if there is lots of evidence against them and/or one party has a good argument; it's another thing when there's only a couple of pressure votes and a player throws his/her vote in but doesn't contribute much as to why they voted the way they did.

That's my view, anyways.

Comrade Shamrock: I would prefer jailor, it's a powerful combination of roles. It is practically the doc and an escort/other roleblocker combined (if I'm reading this right); it is, however, a double edged blade. A jailor could prevent the cop from inspecting someone at night. I do think that it is a risk worth taking though.

Anywho, some questions:
MNII: What's your experience with mafia? Have you ever indirectly caused your side to lose? If so, how?

TheDarkStar: If you were, say, scum, and you knew who the doc and cop were, who would you kill first? Which is a more of a threat to you?

Krevsin: What do you think of D1 lynching? Is it more beneficial to the town or the mafia?

Comrade Shamrock: I'd also like to know your opinion on D1 lynching.

Cptn: To reiterated what TheDarkStar asked me, what do you think is the most important scumtell to look out for?

I think D1 lynching is a good idea. It lowers the potential suspect pool and makes it more likely to get the scum the next day. It is probably the day in which the most slips fall as there is less pressure so they feel safe and more likely to be sloppy.

I've played a few games with friends. I'd guess at a total of 25 rounds as a liberal estimate. 15 is conservative.
I don't remember any time we lost because of my actions. There was one time that it was very close.
I was detective/role inspector, with two mafia and a handful of town left. A mafia came out as detective, so I had to also, to ensure they couldn't lead the lynching effort. I hesitated, so some suspicion was thrown on me. I can't remember if we did a no lynch or killed a town, but they killed a town, and then I read the mafia that said they were detective. That was a bad move, since I should have read another for mafia. However, we took a chance and got lucky, lynching a mafia. We won that game.
MNiI: Who do you think is the most likely scum?
I'd like to answer that question later, once I've seen more talking.

I partially agree with your answer. In my experience, a bandwagon can (and almost always does) happen every time - it's rare to see at least one person from the mafia not voting for someone who has lots of other votes. You see it much more often when there is a case rather than when there isn't, too.

I'd kill the cop first if he wasn't being protected by the doc, since the cop can figure out who I am quickly while everyone else can't. Doctors can be avoided much more easily than cops, too - the doctor targeting you is always good, but mafia don't want the role cop targeting them.

Hello everyone and welcome to Mafia! As your IC, I will be occasionally giving you advice. While I am also a player in the game trying to win, anything said in teal is genuine advice and can be trusted. I will not lie to you in teal, even if it costs me the game. Some of my advice may be based on my opinion and how I play the game. You are free to ignore this if you don't think it suits you.


TDS:
Silthuri:
If you can't find anyone who is scummy by the end of Day 1, should you no-lynch? Why/why not?
I personally would not No Lynch. The lynch is town's main weapon. Deaths, even if they're town, are useful. Or at the very least more than a No Lynch would. No Lynch D1 is also frowned upon because scum is basically getting a free Night Kill and you can't count on the scum killing someone who will provide information. Town will be no further the next Day without a lynch.


Shamrock:
Silthuri and Nerjin
Is there any less common scumtells not covered in the OP to help us find scum? I'd like to be prepared in case we have IC scummery.
Hmm... flailing. By that I mean rapidly changing focuses. Throwing one's vote around (not necessarily a tell in RVS). Panicking, being a bit too defensive, buddying with another player, excessive WIFOM (see OP).


Worldmaster:
Silthuri and Nerjin:
What are you both respectively looking out for when you look for scum? Is it hard for you to differentiate between newbie flailing and scum slipups, or is it obvious?
I look for scumtells, of course, but I also look for people who seem to be acting oddly. Most of the time, this is just a gut feeling, but it can be useful nonetheless. It's very hard to differentiate between a newbtell and a scumtell, as many of the scumtells are newbtells as well.


I'll try to post a few questions sometime tomorrow.

Because I am a massive noob and have never played a Mafia game.

Krevsin: What do you think of D1 lynching? Is it more beneficial to the town or the mafia?
Speaking statistically, if it is a random lynch, there is a greater chance of it being beneficial to the mafia because there is a greater number of town players. As such, there is a greater chance of picking a town player and thus benefiting the mafia.

However, it also reveals some much needed information to the town.

I don't really have the experience to claim this with certainty, but I guess that it's beneficial to the town.

Don't forget my question.

Krevsin:
Don't forget that heads more experienced than us have seen the need for a D1 lynch. It may be beneficial to the scum in the short term but is more beneficial to town in the long run. Less suspects D2, a persons reasoning and allows analysis of voting patterns which is the opposite of a NK we're provided no reasoning. The increased number of confirmed town allow more insight in how others interacted with them.

Immaterial:
It is Lylo and there is you, a lurker and the leading scumhunter. Both are claiming cop and both are claiming each other are guilty. Who do you vote for?

If I thought someone seemed scummy, I'd target them no matter their activity. If no one seemed scummy, though, I'd check the less active person because, as you said, there's a lot of evidence for the person who is active.

As it is mislynch and lose, I would vote the first lurker to tie the vote unless I had strong suspicions of one of them. I would then protect the second lurker. If someone was nightkilled, then I know who it was and can try to lynch him if I wasn't the one killed. If I was the one killed, at least the vote has been lowered to 1/3 instead of 1/4. If not we are still in the same situation. Repeat strategy and block no. 2 again and if there is no kill, he is probably scum.

Well revealing on D1 seems like a death sentence, so I would only use it as a last resort. Otherwise I might try to convince people to shift the blame from me to someone I thought was more scummy, and use that evidence of course. On D2 or 3 I would probably reveal, since I've probably already used my role a bit more and if I'm killed during the night at least I've already been useful. My one goal would really just be to get the vote off myself. Not so I can live longer, but because it would be a waste of a lynch.

I wasn't worried that he was accusing me, I was just getting suspicious because he seemed to be trying to incite something by accusing me od having a gun.

These to me indicate worry. There is no way he could have investigated you. You then go to say you are a normal townie with the last I checked part as if for emphasis. This seems to me like he struck a nerve and you exploded. This make it seem very much like you are scum.

I was pointing at MNiI not Shamrock, and again, I reacted that way not out of fear, but because I found it very suspicious that he would accuse me of having a gun or whatever he meant by that "joke," that, by the way, had no real context, either.
He was making a play on the words, shot in the foot for the gun. He had absolutely nothing to go on apart from your favourite colour and a question. Where in that could he draw you being scum or even try to pull off an accusation. Don't say your lack of posts, Nerjin has less than 1, which is to say none.

Next time, make your jokes are clearly noted as such either by smilies or [joke]

Mine was not a joke. I was asking a serious question. I was picking at her choice of words. Shooting herself in the foot was the phrase which made me suspicious of her.

Comrade Shamrock, you seem to also be overreacting - it's fairly important to post at least once a day if possible. "Shooting myself in the foot" means impairing yourself in some way, which not posting definitely does. What is it about this that makes you suspicious?

I'm more inclined to believe it's a figure of speech, implying that she thought she'd be branded a lurker and lynched for missing a day. I also feel that Comrade Shamrock is the one who made it a big deal by blowing a figure of speech way out of proportion.

Keep in mind that many players take mafia extremely seriously. Jokes that seem incredibly obvious and funny will not be obvious or funny to others. I do suggest using joke tags or a  :P, but sometimes even they can't block the conspiracy theories that people cook up.

I think the three key players [Immaterial, Comrade, and Allee] are all seperate instances of this.

Allee is getting railed on this far harder than she deserves. She panicked a little at the accusation [a lot of first time players do] and I feel like she's handling it rather well since then.

Immaterial strikes me as someone who is simply going with what he thinks is right based on his limited experience with forum mafia.  His case is weak, but so are all day 1 cases I find. I think he's wrong, but he is doing what he feels is right I'm sure.

Comrade seems to be trying to inflate this into a lynch. I would like to hear more about why a simple misunderstanding deserves a lynch. Note that this is NOT in your spoiler. That's because it involves my vote. Always keep your vote out of spoilers and quotes.

Alleecat over reacted to a joke, and that is suspicious, but it could actually be a misunderstanding. But then Comrade Shamrock is acting like he wants to make that into a lynch, which I think is scummy. I'm not going to vote yet though.

The Underground seemed to stretch for a mile underneath, with connecting passages and tunnels furnished with spartan embellishments: the usage of fluorescence and natural flora both lit, beautified and ventilated the area, respectively. Any piping system crossing the tunnels was so subtle that the natural 'corners' of each passage were but blended piping and mechanisms for the many facilities within.

It was the first day, and a slight chill pervaded the area. You feel a faint vibration coming from far away, beneath. It sounds like a rhythmic and hollow hum.

I reread my post and discovered that it did come off as a little jumpy. I didn't mean it that way. The fact was that I didn't know how investigations were working and whether or not he was trying to reveal himself and pin me as a suspect. This combined with my being loopy on pain meds and having very poor word choice because of that did not make for a very good post, I'm afraid.

Krevsin:
Push him, ask him who he was going to use his power on and why. Then vote him to see if he starts trying to shove the power role down our throats, like ''Don't lynch me because I am [Insert power role]''. An excessive amount of these and if he puts up only other token defences then I am definitely going to vote him for real.

Nerjin:
Terribly sorry about the nagging you over posts. But I find the best way to get someone to respond is by annoying them. They then explode in righteous fury. It may not be the best way to go about it but it usually works.

Further Detail for DarkStar and others:
Allee made a post.
Spoiler: Quote inside (click to show/hide)
This seemed odd to me. She had an entire post for saying she was glad that her lack of posts hadn't brought her down. Now, apologies in advance Nerjin, the ICs hadn't been particularly active. Nerjin hadn't posted at all. Silthuri also had only one post by that time, the same number as Allee but longer. So, I thinking along the lines of 'Nerjin, an IC hasn't posted and yet Allee seems quite concerned.' She was concerned enough to make an entire post dedicated to her lack of posts and the P.S. apologising for typos in advance. Now this in a post that was asking questions or answering them probably wouldn't have been suspicious to me at all. But on its own I found it suspicious. It seemed to be posting for just putting out worries and possibly someone with a mafia agenda with expressing their worry.

Now this led to me asking these questions.
Spoiler: Quote inside (click to show/hide)
Now, the FOS was there to apply pressure. The questions were there to get why she was so worried.
Spoiler: Another quote (click to show/hide)
She answered the questions satisfactorily and initially allayed my suspicions.

But then her overreaction to the joke Immaterial made brought them back even stronger. She seems to immediately jump to investigation as a possibility. I don't know why she would jump to that if she was town. Then she goes to say 'last I checked', this seems to me that she's blaming Immaterial for not immediately assuming that she couldn't possibly be anything other than town. Then she states that she is suspicious of Immaterial. This appears to me like she is sending a light accusation his way without actually accusing him. No FoS or vote which would have been a much stronger OMGUS which is probably why it wasn't done. But this seems to me like she was trying to shift attention from her to her accuser in a sly manner. I found this scummy as it says to me, 'don't attack me attack him.'

This is where I changed from FoS to voting.

The last part, which is bolded, is what furthers my suspicions. She exaggerates his post in a vicious way. This seems to be a continuation of the don't attack me attack him (not sure what to call it. Don't attack me, attack him plan?). It just all seems scummy to me or I just could be reading too much into this.

Assorted:
Now, Nerjin I apologise again for annoying you about posts and using it again but they did play a part in my reasoning.
Everyone, feel free to demolish my case if you don't agree.

You should only use Spoilers if you're doing a HUGE quote-pyramid or as a sorting mechanism. Keep in mind, also, that people do NOT read walls of text. Once your post grows to a certain point it becomes a  skimming. It sucks, but that's how it is.

Comrade, you are really just reading too much into this. I'm not sure if it's because you're new or whatever but you are. She misread a joke. It happens. But let's go with it eh?

You cite the overreaction to the joke, her saying "Last I checked...", and her saying "Immaterial is saying "I know Allee is scum..." yes? That seems to be your three main points. Let's examine them.

Overreaction to Joke

You state that her overreaction to the gun thing is scummy because it is A) A joke, B) Sending suspicion her attackers way.

Well, A) Jokes don't transfer well. What may seem like a joke to you will seem like a serious attack to someone else. It is the medium of the game to blame for this. B) Imagine that someone is claiming they know for a FACT that you're scum [which is what Allee thought at the time] and you know that you are NOT scum. But they phrase it in a way that seems like it may be less of a direct accusation so you're not sure if they're actually saying they think that or not. Wouldn't you be a little wary?

Last I checked

This isn't really worth mentioning. People have little writing tics that just happen. She was likely just typing what came to mind and typed that out. It doesn't mean anything.

Allee: "Immaterial basically said "I know Allee is scum etc. etc.

Is your last point. You state that this is an exaggeration of Immaterial's post. I agree. It is an exaggeration. However, that doesn't mean anything. She wasn't attacking him at that point so far as I could see. She was exaggerating it to prove a point. It happens kiddo. I just don't see this as a problem.

If another player makes you feel like your argument is too weak you should take a lot of time looking for another person [or even the same person] who looks scummy to you and start building a case on them. It's disheartening to find out that your case is weak when you feel it was strong. Just remember, there ARE scum. So keep looking. You'll find them eventually.

I should also point out that I still suspect Allee of being scum. I suspect everyone of being scum. That's just how I look at things. The scum could be any one of us. He could be you. He could be me. He could even be [redacted].

So keep an eye out. Don't trust anyone. But don't be totally paranoid either.

And, soon after this post
AlleeCat:
Why did you feel you shot yourself in the foot? Something to hide?
Well, it's just that I know lurking is a big killer in BMs. I just don't want to get lynched on Day 1 of my first Mafia game.

I think the better question is why she had a gun...
Woah hey what? I'm not sure if you're trying to say you investigated me and found a gun, or if this is some hypothetical roleplay stuff or what, but last I checked, I was a normal townie. So either way I'm getting pretty suspicious of you.

AlleeCat: Thank you for joining us, I hope you heal quickly. Now, as for the question: If you were a power role and everyone was convinced you were mafia, how would you try to get out of the situation?
I distinctly remember answering this one. The problem is that a lot of times people post questions while I'm typing a reply to something else. Instead of trying to answer the newly posted question in the same post, I try to get the current post out ASAP and then read over the other question(s) and reply to them in a second post. This is mainly due to me effectively having one arm for the purposes of typing.
In the case of your other question, however, I honestly didn't see it. I remember seeing that the rest of your post was you responding to an IC so I must've figured it wasn't important and skipped over it. I'll answer it now for you.

AleeCat: The cop finds out that TheDarkStar is scum, and TheDarkStar reacts by claiming you are his scumbuddy. How do you defend yourself?
I would point out that there are only two reasons TheDarkStar would try to sell out his scumbuddy. Either he's just being a dick to his teammate by throwing them under the bus and making them lose, or he's trying to take a town down with him by claiming someone else. Either way, it's not a very good move, since the former would ensure a town victory and the latter is pretty easy to see through.

Look at the situation you just presented. There is another line of thinking to that. He could be actually be outing his partner but thinks the town won't lynch the partner because he believes they'll think it's a plan to lynch town. This is what WIFOM is. The town will probably lynch out of caution.

Look at the situation you just presented. There is another line of thinking to that. He could be actually be outing his partner but thinks the town won't lynch the partner because he believes they'll think it's a plan to lynch town. This is what WIFOM is. The town will probably lynch out of caution.
Sorry, did not explain WIFOM properly. It is a circular argument of logic stemming from the belief that's what he wants me to believe.

These situations don't happen in a vacuum, though. they're not going to lynch just because of this one incident. They're going to put that together with the rest of the day's evidence andthen make a decision. Nobody just goes "OK so you've been named as an accomplice and you get one chance to defend yourself before we lynch you immediately no questions asked"

I was asking if you are lying about being susceptible to peer pressure thing to give yourself a way to explain voting with the crowd, bandwagoning and the like. But, I think you are genuine for not understanding the question.

DarkStar:
Fair enough. Do you think Immaterial is providing an excuse or is it genuine?

I can't tell yet, but it is slightly worrying - going with what everyone else says to avoid having to scumhunt your allies is a common mafia play. Here's a question to you: Why did you ask him a question that wouldn't actually get you anything (it's not like he would admit that he was lying if he was scum).

Allee:
Look at the situation you just presented. There is another line of thinking to that. He could be actually be outing his partner but thinks the town won't lynch the partner because he believes they'll think it's a plan to lynch town. This is what WIFOM is. The town will probably lynch out of caution.

Just a note about this situation: It wouldn't actually happen. In mafia here, directly incriminating someone as a fellow mafia member is very highly frowned on - you're 1. revealing yourself, and 2. revealing your ally. If you want to do something similar without getting people mad at you for how you played, though, you can deliberately make it look like you're working with someone. Just don't go "I'm scum, and so is this guy!".

The ICs can probably say it better than I can, though.

The question I asked Immaterial was to see if he was being sincere about being susceptible to peer pressure. It wasn't his worded answer really that I was looking for but his reaction.  If he was lying about it, I was expecting him to pick at the question instead of answering it.

If you're worried about not having a different perspective: Don't. Surely there is SOMETHING you want to ask other people. Even if it's a followup to someone else's question. Just do your best. You might not do well. It's entirely possible you'll fuck up badly. But if you don't try you won't get better. We're all friends here. Everyone started off as a flailing idiot. Especially me.

My Name is Immaterial is the scummy looking one here. He says he was prodding, but it seems more like bandwagoning to me. Then he says he needs to sleep on it, then that he would be better off not voting at all. That is a big turn around, and is suspicious.

Not neccessarily. From what I've read of some older games, voting for someone can be used to apply pressure to them just to see how they react. Of course, one can never tell whether the accuser was merely swayed by the accused's argument or whether such a tactic has been employed.

Worldmaster: Say it's D3 and you're the last scum left. One of the two towns left is sure it's you, but the other is still on the fence. How would you try to convince them to vote for the other one?

Me and Silthuri are players. Persus is essentially a coach who just watches and says stuff every now and again. Me and Silthuri can be any alignment and can be lynched or night killed accordingly. Persus has no alignment, cannot be interacted with, smells nice works with the scum team, and basically just gives advice.

At this stage in the game, I don't see any benefit from killing a specific player. The layers of bluff and double bluffs that exist around such a choice are too inpenetrable to handle. I would use Random.org. If there's no method to my madness, there are no leads.

I am currently lurking a little. I'm waiting for something to jump on and prod.

I'm more inclined to believe it's a figure of speech, implying that she thought she'd be branded a lurker and lynched for missing a day. I also feel that Comrade Shamrock is the one who made it a big deal by blowing a figure of speech way out of proportion.

Keep in mind that many players take mafia extremely seriously. Jokes that seem incredibly obvious and funny will not be obvious or funny to others. I do suggest using joke tags or a  :P, but sometimes even they can't block the conspiracy theories that people cook up.

It would depend on the way I had played up until that point, and how the other two have been playing. If the accuser has been lurking or could be seen as active lurking, or had some evidence of bandwagoning in the past or any other behaviors that could be interpreted as scummy then I'd exploit that as much as possible. I'd also try to play off any concerns the guy on the fence had before about the accuser or his/her's hesitation to lynch fellow town. I'd also try to exploit any weak points in the accuser's argument and try to turn them into something that makes the accuser seem scummy. Mostly just playing off the areas where s/he's unsure about, and breaking down my oppenent's argument wherever possible. Taking advantage of any questionable actions in the past, i.e. erratic behavior, would also be a big focus.

Now, how would you respond if you were the accuser and the remaining mafia constructed a good argument against you and the guy on the fence was wavering and was considering that you were mafia more and more?

I have a habit of reserving my vote, only voting when I think someone's genuinely scummy. I handle my vote with care and I hadn't had the time to think your actions through. I am also a very passive player in mafia.

I was undecided as to whether it was all a scum ploy or if you genuinely thought Allee was scummy. As I've said, I tend to use my vote only when I really think someone's worth lynching. If I'm unsure, I usually will not vote.

I said I'd try. Not that I would. I'm known for not even asking RVS questions in the first place. I'm more the type to observe. And adding oodles of homework and such doesn't help.

In the commanding center of the Underground, notably a fancy term for a nondescript and similarly spartan room which contained a full map of the facility and the surrounding regions, Tiruin held up a paper and pushed it through the fax machine...or particularly that machine which is able to transport and transmit encoded messages in text to multiple areas at any one time.

She mused that it was hard describing simplicity, and subtly thanked Andrew Feenberg under her breath.

Comrade: Who do you think is the most suspicious right now and why?

Cptn: It's D3, and there is only one scum left. TheDarkStar claims they are the cop and say that Slithuri is the last remaining scum. But Slithuri's behaviour so far has been nothing but town-friendly so far. How do you react?

I think Immaterial is the most scummy player. There was that completely random vote at the start. No questions, just a vote and a thank you to random.org. While probably just a mistake on an account of inexperience, I do attach a little scumminess to this. Then there was when he voted Allee, when Nerjin and DarkStar opposed it he withdrew his vote. While he said it was for consideration but did not reveal his conclusion until prompted by me. This may indicate a hope his vote might be overlooked or that he could be a scum who dislikes unpopularity. There is now also his failure to start a case. He states he can't find the drive for it but it may just be that he can't spot anything another doesn't put in front because he is scum.

Silthuri:
In the words of a man wiser than me.

Sorry for the double post.

But so close to the lynch deadline which is about an hour from now. We are currently at a deadlock. To break the deadlock I am going to vote Immaterial. The reasons for my vote are the following:

1. Completely random vote at the start with nothing to compliment it. (Almost certainly inexperience but you never know)
2. Your Allee voting. You were on it rather quickly but when it was shown to be unpopular you got off. (While you claim you are susceptible to peer pressure it could just make you particularly sensitive as scum)
3. You're failure to even try and start a case. Instead you wanted jump onto another, it seems like you want to bandwagon.

Now, I realise that this isn't particularly strong. But there is a bit in the OP that says we should D1 lynch.

But saying that I would prefer a stronger case and would need more time for it. I would like an Extension.

Information was being received from outside sources and allied networks, all working in tandem against the tyrannical rule of the government. Herein, they planned their war--a war of information in lieu of force of arms. Strength was, as always, in numbers.

They just had to awaken that strength.

In the minutiae details, MNiI was the first man on the job, working on the printing draft of the morrow. As per the rules of the Underground, if any tampering, forgery, erasure or maltreatment of the final paper was to be seen, the worker would be held under contempt and put in the secure zone until--in the very least--this whole ordeal was over.

With everyone else to their workings, My Name is Immaterial proceeded with his work. Sweat in hand and focused in mind. He would not screw this up.

He couldn't.

But he did. There was a mispelling of a misspelling.

In other related news, Comrade Shamrock called in at the Head Office and announced a temporary leave for his family. The printer technician was called in and given his position to fill in the meantime. Mr. McDonald was pleased to be nearer to giving Glory to Xlixia.

So I'm 6 hours late because I slept through.
Sleeping through 9pm. That's how tired I am. Anyway. >_>




(http://i.imgur.com/Ts9Nic7.png)

Worldmaster27 closes the door and apologizes for his tardiness as a light flickers from above. Tiruin nods towards him in return as she checks the workforce gathered in the room--everyone was here, minus a few heads or so from the original list.

"We're missing two people. Well, technically one, anyway. Our local IC, Nerjin, has been found grievously wounded by punching office implements earlier today, and whomever was responsible for the afternoon draft made the result above...all the while disappearing from their post with no mention or whereabout as to where they are or what they've done.

"As you've noticed,"
she slides the finished draft for all to see, "it is more than a draft, given the completed formatting as well as several stories with their subtle nature of being finished and foretold, even before their relevance is needed."

The room is quiet as Tiruin looks around, probably for some kind of realization or revelation. She continues when none have reacted.

"We've a mole. A spy. Dissidents in our ranks, is what I'm saying. Someone or someones were able to create this mockery of information (I mean who fills up the front page with...weather forecasts and useless reports in this time and crisis?) and set it as the final output. Granted, I'm checking the deal before its sent out to the populace.

"Now I'd like you all, as a favor again despite all you've done in even being here, to find out whom is doing so."

"Does that mean we get to use guns now?"
"No. Proceed as normal. I'll be attending to the matter alone. You are all dismissed. We only have scant time before the dusk. I only wanted you all to know this."

As most of the non-essential staff leave, Tiruin manages to stop you few handful of essential people and give a few words of advice.

"You all are needed staff here, and despite his wounds, Nerjin is still able for consultation. I ask you this--send in the names of those you suspect, and I will deal with them in person. The paper I've forwarded has its relevance, unlike what I've said earlier. Whoever created such an abomination knows our ties to the People's Movement, given the remark on the orphans and the children. Be vigilant, you few. We're on the edge of a revolution here. Take care you all, and continue your fight for our home."

It is three in the afternoon.

That is an awful question to ask day 2. Examine people's cases.

I'm done with BM's. It's just not worth the boredom and tedium to get killed off in the night because I'm actually trying to teach you how to play the game. Every time, without fail. Very well.

McDonald:

This is a question well-suited for the beginning of Day 1. However, at this point, it won't get you anything useful. At this point, you should start taking a close look at what people have said and what has happened. Make cases against people and put pressure on them.

Nerjin: I'm sorry for what happened; I can see why you're done with BMs. What the jailor should have done is protected you, but he either doesn't exist or did something else last night.

Everyone:

Everyone needs to post their reads (how towny/scummy they see people as and why). Also, the power roles should not claim yet, unless the Cop found scum last night, because otherwise they just give themselves away for nothing.

My reads will come later.

Post by: McDonald on August 27, 2014, 05:53:03 pm
TheDarkStar: Since you mentioned power roles, if you were a Cop and found out somebody is scum this night, what would you do?
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

AlleeCat - I'm neutral, but I'm still unsure about that Immaterial's joke and Cat's reaction to it. Might be just inexperience or seriousness.
Worldmaster27 - Posts rarely (Although he's not lurking) because of RL getting in the way, so I don't have much against him.
TheDarkStar - Posts often with meaningful content. Thinking town.
Cptn Kal - Pretty passive. I'm neutral.
Krevsin - I haven't really noticed him in this thread to be honest. He posts pretty rarely.
Silthuri - Eh... She said that she tends to observe, but also has lots of homework. I'm not sure about this one.
Title: Re: Beginner's Mafia XLIX: The Journalist Underground | D2 has begun.
Post by: Worldmaster27 on August 27, 2014, 08:24:01 pm
I should post my things and not just lurk, shouldn't I? :P

AlleeCat - Slightly suspicious, due to reasons (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=142461.msg5601349#msg5601349) I have stated before. However, she has largely allayed them with her reply. Still keeping an eye on. The whole earlier debacle is irrelevant at this point, IMHO.
McDonald - I'm not sure how much Comrade's action should carry over to him, so he's a fresh slate.
TheDarkStar - Heavy town read; he hasn't done anything unusually scummy and has been actively scum hunting. If he's scum, he's the best.
Cptn - I'm not sure how I feel about her. As McDonald stated above me, she's pretty passive. Could be lurking scum, but I'm neutral at this point in time.
Slithuri - Unsure. Maybe town, maybe scum. She hasn't been very active, so I'm not getting any reads.
Krevsin - Kind of a background player right now. I very nearly forgot about him until I reread McDonald's post. Same feelings as Cptn.

I have no interesting reads >_>

Slithuri: If you were mafia and this was a regular non-BM game, who would target next and why?
Title: Re: Beginner's Mafia XLIX: The Journalist Underground | D2 has begun.
Post by: TheDarkStar on August 27, 2014, 10:41:28 pm
TheDarkStar: Since you mentioned power roles, if you were a Cop and found out somebody is scum this night, what would you do?

I would tell the town as soon as I could. Yes, I would die the next night, but that's important information that the town needs to know. However, you don't need to ask random questions anymore, since there's info to go off of now.

Reads:
Worldmaster27: Slight scum lean for no non-neutral reads and no votes or non-RVS questions. You need to make a case against someone; you're lurking but with fluff posts to make it look otherwise.  Why have you not voted or made any cases?
AlleeCat: There was some defensiveness at the beginning, but it was justified, so null read for now.
McDonald/Comrade Shamrock: Scum lean; Comrade cast the vote that tipped the MNiI lynch, and there was reasoning behind it, but MNiI was town. Also, he picked someone kind of random for a reason that AlleeCat was suspicious, and then came up with a long post (post 111 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=142461.msg5600245#msg5600245)) that overstates small things. Also, the last vote could be attributed to avoiding his own lynch. Why do you not thing Worldmaster isn't lurking? Which reason do you think is the explanation for Comrade's vote Day 1?
TheDarkStar: Me!
Cptn: Slight scum lean for not posting much. Post more! Ask questions!
Silthuri: Inactive due to RL. No read.
Krevsin: He's barely here and has only participated in RVS questions. Slightly scummy for lurking until he posts more.

McDonald - I'm not sure how much Comrade's action should carry over to him, so he's a fresh slate.

Given that they're guaranteed to be the same alignment, you should definitely consider his previous actions when decided how scummy he is. You can actually learn a lot by comparing the actions of a player and his/her replacement.

Post by: Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum on August 27, 2014, 11:47:36 pm
Alleecat She is a bit suspicious, but I think it's mostly inexperience. Or she is pretending to be inexperienced to throw us off, but I doubt that. (I hope you get better soon!)
Worldmaster27 He seems to be lurking a bit, most of what he's done is questioning alleecat. That throws some suspicion on him, but I'm one to talk, right?
TheDarkStar Probably one of the most likely to be town, he has posted the most and seems to be working for town. Considering this is a beginner game, I don't think he is some super amazing scum, but it is possible.
Kaladin I'm lurking a bit, sorry. I'm a bit inexperienced at this. Going by what I've posted and trying to be impartial about it, I seem a bit scummy...
Krevsin Who? Oh, the guy with the colour question... He seems scummy, just because he has never really posted anything. Post more!
Silthuri Our less active I.C., she seems to be lurking. Or playing passively, which looks about the same at this level. I don't feel like she is a scum, but not enough info for anything more then a gut feeling. And this is the same gut feeling that killed a villager day one, so I am a bit suspicious.

Wait, McDonald/Comrade Shamrock. Comrade seemed scummy earlier, but then became one of the more active players, before dropping out. I still think he could be scum, but I'll see how McDonald plays.
Title: Re: Beginner's Mafia XLIX: The Journalist Underground | D2 has begun.
Post by: Krevsin on August 28, 2014, 01:01:41 am
Everyone: I apologize for not posting more, but I live in a different time zone to most people. As such, whenever I post, there is no response for quite a while (usually several hours) and no discussion can be had.

Aleecat: She seems like a newbie. I doubt she's just pretending to be one to fool everyone.
Worldmaster27: He seems eager to help town and he handled questioning AleeCat pretty well. A clever plot by the mafia or scumhunting? I'm inclined towards the latter.
Comrade: Seemed a bit scummy to me, overthinking AleeCat's responses to build up a case relying mostly on what seems to be inexperience on her part. Definitely suspicious.
McDonald: New player, can't really say much about him, seems eager.
Slithuri: The lurker IC. I really can't say much about her for the same reason people can't say much about me (I don't post enough).
Cptn: Similar to me, not posting much.
TheDarkStar: Seems town enough, asking questions, urging people to post more.

Everybody, sum up your mafia experience. How many games did you play? Do you know people here?
None. No.

Welp, I don't know who to question. Comrade seemed scummy, but now he's gone and McDonald hasn't really given enough info to question him.
Title: Re: Beginner's Mafia XLIX: The Journalist Underground | D2 has begun.
Post by: McDonald on August 28, 2014, 04:54:19 am
Krevsin: Question me if I haven't given much info.

TheDarkStar: I often check people's last time active and Worldmaster always posts when he is active.

Re: Comrade, I don't know what was going through his head back then. Maybe it's just how he reacts to things.

Well then. Not much happening it seems. Okay.

Krevsin: I know you've said that you're in a different time zone, but you can still add to conversations and scum hunt. That's why the days are so long. As such, why don't you? You aren't helping the town by sitting there; and who knows? You might be the one to figure out who the scum are.

Unless you already know...

Cptn: You too are lurking. Do you have an excuse for this, or is it just because you don't think you have anything to add? If so, then you're wrong. Your thoughts are valuable to the town. An inactive town is a dead town, right? So be active.

TheDarkStar and ICs: Why is it that appearing to be active lurking is more important to you than just plain lurking?

There are RL reasons that cause lurking, but active lurking is when you have people who don't want to contribute to avoid getting attention thrown on them. First-time scum often do this.

Worldmaster:
Slithuri: If you were mafia and this was a regular non-BM game, who would target next and why?
I don't like this question. If I were to explain this, scum could easily kill who I claimed I would and suspicion would fall upon me.

The way I play as mafia, I tend to kill off those who would most benefit me and wouldn't draw suspicion to me. This is all you're getting. What did you feel you'd gain from this question?

To add a bit to what Nerjin said, you should ask questions where the answer will tell you something useful. If you ask "Are you scum?", you can probably guess the answer. If you ask "Why did you think it was a good idea to vote for Person X?" you might get something, depending on the circumstances, and "Why do you have no non-neutral reads?" is similar. You want to put pressure on someone (they have to answer or be seen as scummy) and make them defensive. You should see what the ICs have to say about it, though.

Silthuri, did you ever post your reads? (This is not entirely a scumhunting question, so it's a bit different).

These people have not made any cases so far:

Silthuri (RL got in the way)
Cptn (You need to do more in general)
Krevsin (You also haven't done much)

Captain and Krevsin, you nee to be more active and work on finding scum.

I believe I did make a case day one, but it failed...

Okay, McDonald. Why do you think Comrade Shamrock reacted so aggressively to Alleecat day one.

Post by: McDonald on August 30, 2014, 05:59:34 am
Cptn Kal: I already answered that. Read through the thread carefully.

Silthuri: Sorry.  ::)

I've been thinking about Krevsin recently. He lives in a different time zone, and that might be the reason for his lurking, but note that many people even forgot that he's playing. He also hasn't made any cases, which makes him even more unnoticeable. Any thoughts?

I am again sorry for my absence, but I haven't had any internet for the past two days due to a cut cable. And now that I do have internet, it's extremely unreliable and rarely stays for long. I don't know how long it'll be like this.

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to request a replacement because I can't do anything like this.

Wow, that sucks!

Now it's three people needing replacement (or had been replaced). Comrade had his laptop broken, AlleeCat has health problems and Krevsin's internet is effed up.

What next? Somebody's gonna spill coffee on their hands?

Silthuri, did you ever post your reads? (This is not entirely a scumhunting question, so it's a bit different).

I did not. I will now though!

AleeCat: I think the bit about her over reacting does not make her scum. That being said, she's done nothing to make me think her town. Neutral.

Worldmaster27: I'm a bit suspicious because of his question (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=142461.msg5611416#msg5611416). I am eager to hear what he has to say about it. Slight scum lean.

McDonald: I'm still slightly suspicious because of his predecessor attacking Alee for over reacting. Now McDonald is trying to throw suspicion on the lurkers. Very slight scum lean due to this.

TDS: Quite active, asking good questions, making decent cases. Town lean.

Cptn Kaladin: Nothing's really standing out. Null.

Krevsin: Not around much. Null.

If you think someone is scummy, vote for them. McDonald might be a replacement, but both him and Comrade have the same alignment, so that shouldn't deter you. You can change your vote later if you have a reason to, but voting puts a lot of pressure on people to answer, while FoSing may not.

Comrade might have investigated AlleeCat and found out she is scum, but turned to Immaterial with more evidence. Might as well vote [color= red]Krevsin[/color].

Not much worthy of note, aside from the current cop claim. Just skim through. There hasn't been much activity.


I think we should lynch Krevsin today. McDonald dies tomorrow if Krevsin's town. Either way, a scum is most likely going to die.

Also, oppose shorten to make sure tn5421 has time to toss their thoughts into the pile.

Okay, good.
Well, there are three things that could be happening.
1. The cop has revealed, and Krevsin is scum. (Probable)
2. McDonald is lying to save his life temporarily. (Unlikely)
3. McDonald is sacrificing his scum buddy to save himself, because he is much less suspicious already, and more active. (Also unlikely, but possible)

4. McDonald is lying to save his life temporarily and is getting rid of a power role that the scum role cop found last night. (This seems most unlikely, but is a possibility)

The call of a snow owl echoed in the twilight.

At the entrance to the Underground, a score of people were dispersing, now under protocol red. Having submitted the details in subtlety, Tiruin gathers their notes and reads them only after bidding the resident psychologist, Persus13, away with a smile.

Until she felt a rap of metal on her shoulder, only to see Nerjin wearing a world-weary smile back.
"So, Krevsin?"
"He's the one marked. I need a search of his belongings and his identity."
"Already done."

Tiruin gave Nerjin a curious expression.
"I had only authorized it now."
"Done, as in, Krevsin is gone. I've...handled the matter."

He showed what was in his hand--no wonder it felt metallic.

"That's a sigil of the special forces."
"Yes. Apparently, we're not only attracting the attention of the government and the Department of Philantrophy."
"It's Philanthropy."
"It's also intentionally misspelled."

Time passed as the sun drew closer to the horizon, blanketing the snow with deeper hues of the coming night, emphasized by the glistening white and the cold atmosphere. The two stood in silence before Tiruin spoke.

"No documents? Evidence? Findings?"

Nerjin did not reply, but stared into the distance. She could understand--the man had gone through much in his life, and yet he still had his duty to another person.

Tiruin tapped his shoulder and asked, "Does this mean we're compromised?"
Nerjin gave a slight nod, with a raise of his eyebrows. "Only time will tell, though I have a...certain feeling about this. It is good."

Nerjin cast his gaze, which Tiruin followed, and saw the setting sun brighten the horizon in amber hues. The Instructor sighed as he mimicked the sound of the snowy owl, and Tiruin could only note the feeling in his tone. Stress, fatigue and the weariness brought about by conflict of the thought. It was deeper than any tangible force she could imagine.

"So...what now?"
"We continue our efforts. Duty beckons."

He clasped her hand and gave her a wry smile.
"Glory to Xlixia."
"Da. Glory to Xlixia."

Krevsin has been lynched!
He was a Cop
Quote
Pseudonym: Krevsin
Profession: Spetsnaz Undercover Agent
Cover Occupation: General Translator

The Printing Press of Xlixia has always been the source of wisdom, news and opinions for the people to ponder about. You are employed as a linguistic translator, having persuaded the higher-ups in the Press of the capabilities and power of translated and natural languages. You are a man of insight, though tempered by your duty and open-mind--having seen the tyranny of the government. You work towards your own goal with a sect of the military, though to prove something that is a rarity in history: to fight and win through word alone, where guns and force is a common solution.

There only lies determination, wisdom and a will to persevere. Your life is what you make of it, and in these troubled times, you must stand firm. You have a choice--that is something that will never be taken from you. Your tongue is your sword and your mind is your shield.

You carry a radio set and a set of encoded documents, connecting your status and authority with the rebellion.


You are town. Each night, you can inspect a fellow player in order to see their alignment.

Wincondition: You win when all of the mafia have been eliminated.

The game has entered the night phase. No person may post during the night phase and the thread will be locked to ensure such.

Post by: Tiruin on September 07, 2014, 07:25:44 am
The morning comes--several days since the start of the first meeting. Tiruin stands on top of a boulder, marking the perimeter entrance to the Underground clad in harlequin garb, camouflaging her in the snowy environment. She raises her binoculars as Nerjin comes up from behind with a radio set.

"Fifteen people on the approach, no signs on the horizon of smoke or debris."
"Mirror. Radio frequencies are silent on all fronts but the decrypted media. It seems the locals have indicated a raid in the southern districts."

Tiruin sighed. From seventeen to fifteen. The workforce was dwindling.

"Only essential personnel are being wiped from the slate. If we are already compromised, why isn't the enemy making their move."
"Perhaps they already know of us, and are using us as a perceived pawn in the plot. We only have our voices as weapons, no access to arms and armor, and a radio network to the other fronts."
"And as an IC, you aren't obliged to follow in our footsteps. The Philosophers were always on that level: neutrality."

Tiruin sighed.

"When is it right to take a stand?"
"When matters little--what matters is how, and I've made my decision ever since the...attack."
"Which you still will not divulge to me, or to anyone else?"

Nerjin only smiled.

"And yet there is the Psychologist, and your friend. Where do they stand?"
"Only to show that war can be won without a single shot fired. That the prowess of man's intelligence can overcome the fueled rage and oppression of attitudes so chaotic, that they create these wars."
"...So shall we begin the operation? A pre-emptive strike, given these conditions?"
"We have no choice but."

He picked up the radio again, and began moving the frequency.

"246.01, set."
"Give us a couple days more. We need this time."
"For what purpose? To tell the people? They already know how far the government will go to silence dissidents to their cause--no matter how black it is."
"And those who do so are only doing their jobs. Very different from those who dictate so."
...
"Have you decoded the documents?"
"Yes, there is still hope. But we must continue with protocol--see what happens at the end of today."

Post by: McDonald on September 07, 2014, 03:41:58 pm
I just had a feeling... I was sure that Krevsin is scum! His lurking, no cases, unnoticeability! Doesn't that look scummy to you?

Post by: Worldmaster27 on September 07, 2014, 04:15:53 pm
McDonald:
...That it? Because your "feeling" lynched the cop.

You could at least put some effort into this.

On his lurking, yes he was earlier but in his request for a replacement he explained that he was having internet problems. His unnoticeability was primarily on account of his lack of posts, so pretty much just the same thing.

As for no cases, he was probably just waiting until he found mafia during the night. Or rather, until he investigated you.

Cptn, Silthuri, tn5: Thoughts? Questions for McDonald?

The fact that McDonald said he was a cop? Obviously lies now, but... I mean, at least make an effort.

Post by: Worldmaster27 on September 07, 2014, 06:00:43 pm
Cptn: My first thought is Silthuri, because of her lurking and general inactivity.

I'm unsure of tn5, since s/he hasn't done anything. However, thinking back on it, I am now suspicious of Shamrock's attacks on her for the slip up. We now know that Shamrock was scum (based on McDonald's actions), so I'm wondering if his attacks were intended to distance himself from her or vice versa. They could have planned it or just gone with it, but I think it is a bit odd in hindsight.

You yourself need to post more so I can decide if you're scum or not. For now, only slight suspicions; probably the least scummy out of everyone atm.

PPE: DarkStar: Thank you for your contributions. Your prowess will be missed.

Just saying, McDonald, that you should probably get a sig.
Keep looking for interesting quotes; like I did for mine.

My view of what's going on: McD has a guilty on our homeboy Krevsin.
Clearly we are waiting on Silthuri to reverse his 'oppose shorten' vote to end the day.
Don't need to waste time updating me; I did read most of the thread.  And hopefully we get another replacement.

Going to look to see if Krevsin crumbed any results.

Unless the "secret message" was the truth, and he's just kidding.

There's also possibility in that McDonald could be the role cop and not responsible for killing.

Post by: Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum on September 08, 2014, 05:28:37 pm
Wouldn't the scum work together to kill each night? Making blocking one useless, because they both would need to be blocked. Why would you waste your block like that tn5421?
Sorry, computer being dumb, using French instead of symbols. Gotta go copy-paste question marks off Wikipedia.

So now we know -
Vanilla - My Name is Immaterial
Vanilla - Nerjin
Vanilla - The Dark Star
Vanilla - ÉÉÉ
Vanilla - ÉÉÉ
Vanilla/Jail-keeper - ÉÉÉ (Possibly tn5421, if it's the truth, which I doubt.)
Cop - Krevsin
Mafioso - Worldmaster (Maybe)
Mafia Cop - ÉÉÉ

Everyone, who do you think fits where on this list?
I'm going to do homework, will post my thoughts later.

Title: Re: Beginner's Mafia XLIX: The Journalist Underground | D3: A White Morning
Post by: Worldmaster27 on September 08, 2014, 05:54:31 pm
Cptn: Okay, that makes sense.

Especially if you're the other scum and you're just trying to delay the inevitable.

Why do you think you shouldn't just put your vote in for McDonald? You can change it if you want to, and I don't see why we'd prioritize one mafia scum over another.

Silthuri: You've been awfully quiet; what are you thinking?
Title: Re: Beginner's Mafia XLIX: The Journalist Underground | D3: A White Morning
Post by: Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum on September 08, 2014, 06:14:08 pm
Okay, lets say we search for the other scum.
If we find them, we win the game because we know who the last scum is. the last day would have have two townies, and McDonald the known scum. That is pretty easy for town to win.
If we don't find them, then the last day has two townies, one scum. That is pretty dangerous I think. I would rather know who it is last day.

I would rather be left with a known value (McDonald) then not have any idea who the remaining scum is. Of course, if we don't find the second scum by the end of today, I'll vote McDonald so we still only have one to deal with. I'm keeping my vote free in case new information comes up.
I imagine the scum want us to end the day as soon as possible, because it leaves us with less time to hunt for the remaining one. Worldmaster, why do you want me to vote McDonald so much right now? We have nothing really to gain from voting him NOW. A vote elsewhere would apply pressure to that person, but he is already found out.

Okay, McDonald. I'm not sure how deep you are going with this, but now you are trying to distance yourself from tn5421. It could be because you are trying to make us suspect him and he isn't a scum, or because you want us to think you are trying to make us suspect him and he is actually a scum. The problem is, both of those are good for you...
Title: Re: Beginner's Mafia XLIX: The Journalist Underground | D3: A White Morning
Post by: Worldmaster27 on September 08, 2014, 07:31:00 pm
Cptn: Okay. I'm mostly eager to lynch scum, and I really don't see how leaving our votes on McDonald can hurt us. It could save us, even. In that, if two of the remaining town happen to be away ~1 hour from the day end but the two mafia are available, and we only have one vote on McDonald, the two scum could both vote for a town and lynch them, thus winning the game during the night.

Of course, that is unlikely, but I thought that Krevsin being a power role was unlikely too. Better safe than sorry, IMO.

PPE: Shh... he's screwing with us. Maybe.

tn5: Anything to say? Do you think we should vote for him or not? And what's your response to what McDonald implied?

I am town.  There is a strong chance that McDonald is also town.

McDonald didn't try to abuse that fact that I implied he was conftown, this makes me feel better about him.

I don't think we should vote him without a lot of discussion first.

Um, no, he lied about his alignment to kill the cop, and he said you would die because you revealed. I think that is pretty scummy, personally.
Also, the scum work together to kill people. Jailing one won't stop a night kill. (True or false?) Or he is the mafia rolecop. But I doubt he is innocent.

I trust Worldmaster and Myself, but McDonald is scum. Silthuri, I assume she is having RL problems. You, you I don't know. Did you even read through this whole day? There were a few more questions for you...

This... this seems very scummy to me. You appear to be trying to buddy with McDonald, who we are 100% sure is scum, and you're trying to stop us from voting for him, at least for now.

I assumed that he fake claimed cop as scum and therefore was the person to block to stop a nightkill.
It's still probably true, but he wasn't the person to submit a kill.
And
I am town.  There is a strong chance that McDonald is also town.
I don't think we should vote him without a lot of discussion first.
Defending McDonald, saying he is town, but also saying he is scum. Why?

1) I, for one, can't really get a good read on McDonald.  We need to use all the time at our disposal to make the best decision possible.
2) I said it was possible for him to be both.

A slight tremor echoed through the facility as the subtle tick of the pendulum echoed in the Administrative Office. It only housed two souls--Tiruin and Nerjin, who were busy watching the proceedings of the day through a nearby monitor.

"So do you still deem it a good idea to have left the people to their own designs?"
"Now that you point it out, no. Arguements and conspiracy ideologies fly abound if you keep knowledge of what is exactly true from knowledge which is perceived true."
"Do you now understand what I meant by the power of information? Wars are won superficially by guns, weapons and strength. Wars are truly won--and thus the recuperation thereafter, by the mind, and a plan."
"I am not a good leader."
"You are good--just not that efficient, at the moment."

Nerjin passed his hand towards the clock to stop the pendulum. The time was 4:24pm.

"Now what I'm about to show you would be a breach of my status as a Counselor and to my profession, however it is for the good of the state. If I was to sacrifice one for the benefit of two, or even more, I would, unless the value is greater in one or the other."

It was a sunny afternoon.

Okay, so the way I see it is:

Worldmaster and me are town.

tn5421 seems extremely scummy, and has done about half of the list on common scum tells in the OP. She is using the claim of jailkeeper to protect her from any attempt to attack her, but not actually making defences. Also, ragequitting the scum is a really dumb move here. Why would you even try that? The scum would win, because you can't protect everyone. If you know who they are like you say, kill them!

Silthuri is lurking. Seriously, it's been almost a week since your last post, and that was only because I coloured your name blue. "Ah! Schoolwork!" is not a real excuse.

You are not correct.  The correct play today would be to no-lynch unless you had a cop report of someone being guilty.

Post by: tn5421 on September 16, 2014, 06:43:51 am
You'll also note that I have refrained from naming my target last night, for I did in fact target someone.  The fact that there was not a kill in the same night I targeted someone should tell you that either I'm lying (which I have no reason to do) or that I'm telling the truth and that I either blocked scum or scum decided to nokill.

I'm fairly confident that it is the second option; that I blocked the kill from being performed.  However, I am not in any way sure, which is why I want a no-lynch to see if this happens again.  Scum deciding to nokill is a possible outcome that I want to check for; namely by no lynching and giving them another opportunity.

Lynching today will end the game, and not in town's favor.

All I have to do is use my combined roleblock/protect on the scum each night until THEY ragequit in frustration or out themselves with their behavior.  I don't think it will take very long...if you're willing to follow my plan.

Or, you used the block on someone who was attacked by the scum, or you are scum and didn't use your night kill so you looked like a jailkeeper.

Your entire defence is "I'm a jailkeeper, don't kill me"

Post by: 4maskwolf on September 16, 2014, 08:30:30 am
tn5421 is right about the technical correct response.  I'm a bit concerned with their roleclaim, but right now the best response is indeed no lynch.

This is my IC voice.  Normally, unless there is a clear mafia member, MYLO usually ends in a no lynch in BM's and NSBM's.  Any sort of near-mountainous setup has only one kill a night, and as such waiting one night for the scum to kill someone else narrows down to options of who it could be.  However, this is also a key time for the scum, as they use their day and night games to obfuscate their actions and trick the town into lynching a townie.  As such, the town must remain ever-vigilant and not take anything for granted.

On roleclaims and BM's: roleclaims in BM's tend to come at the end of the game, when they are most potent.  However, always take unproven ones with a grain of salt: that mafia have a rolecop, and it is quite possible to fakeclaim if you know that a role does not exist in the game.

Never, ever take for granted that someone is confirmed townie unless they have been inspected by a cop.  Possibly one of the best strategies in near-mountainous is to set themselves up in a position where everyone believes them to be townie, as it becomes very difficult to get them lynched at that point even if you do suspect them.  I've seen this trick used by scum, both me and others, to cruise through to the end of the game, with various degrees of success.

More IC advise coming later.

Well, if there's a no-lynch, the scum could just choose not to NK anybody so that a certain somebody can keep up the claim that they are the jailor.

In this game? Yes. In the past games I've BM'd? No--mostly because I thought of the matter as 'training as if regular game', wherein the scumteam would be planning in advance how to efficiently conserve the powers at hand.
Why I said yes here is...pretty much because in the BM's I've played in, the mods allowed it (ie Toaster), also I've discovered that there's an actual difference here.
In the BM, the roles are all known.
In a regular game, the roles are pretty much randomized (for scum). Unless explicitly mentioned, which is the case here.
That kind of scenario (Only_Rolecop using both powers) are still treated as if they are made by one person, however. They just have both abilities of rolecop//factional NK.

I will role block you every single day of the week, and if a kill happens then you're confirmed town.  If no kill happens you look more and more suspicious, and if the mod is worth his salt mafia faction will lose because of inability to kill.

... Are you serious? This coming from the person who swore at me, and accused me of being on acid. Okay.
What criticism was I deflecting? You calling me deluded, and insulting me.

Your defences are lowering to personal attacks at this point. You have provided almost no conclusive evidence of town alignment (In my opinion), and have many reasons to seem scummy. You started out the day by trying to end it, and you were trying to protect McDonald the confirmed scum yesterday. Now you are attacking me with no evidence, but can't even be bothered to FoS me. You keep saying I'm the likeliest scum, but you have no real reasoning behind it. It just seems like an OMGUS.
I personally think there is no counter claim because there isn't actually a jail keeper at all, you scum.

I will role block you every single day of the week, and if a kill happens then you're confirmed town.  If no kill happens you look more and more suspicious, and if the mod is worth his salt mafia faction will lose because of inability to kill.
Tiruin is a girl, and I think she is a good mod. Since you keep bringing this up, lets ask her.
Tiruin, how long would the game have to go without kills for you to end it?

You are the scummiest person here. You're defaulting to personal attacking and, as you say, don't even bother to read other people's posts. Also...

Mafia is a game of interaction.  Your refusal to have any legitimate discussion with me hurts the game.
You completely and utterly refuse to believe that there is any possibility of you being wrong.  This attitude has no place in a game of mafia, and certainly makes me feel better about what I'm going to do, which would be permaban worthy in just about any other circumstance.

Insulting us won't convince anyone of the contrary.

It might be the "Suboptimal" thing to do, and I've considered it because of fourmaskwolf. But seriously, you seem like the scummiest one here. You need to stop with the insults and threats.
Plus, I don't think there are hammers in this game.

There is absolutely no way that both Worldmaster AND Cptn are town.  One of them is the scum.  It's not a coincidence that I roleblocked / protected Worldmaster and there was not a kill.
Considering the reactions and general intelligence level, I doubt that you expected me to block the right person and went to submit a kill last night.

tn5421: stop it. The vote was tied up, you weren't under threat of lynch. This behavior is irrational and unbecoming of anyone. Please go do something else for a little while before returning to the game: tempers are flaring, and I don't want to see anyone emotionally hurt in this scenario.

there isn't even a fucking hammer

Correction: it is not mafia as you understand it from the mafiascum forums. However, our beginner games do not have hammers to allow for maximal discussion time and ease of life for the mod.

Also, EVERYONE: take a break from the game. I'd like you all to do something else for a little bit and come back when you're ready to be civil. I don't care if you haven't thrown an argument, I don't want people to say something inflammatory by accident.

I don't think any of the players here dislike you on a personal level. They are trying the best they can to play the game to their wincons (whatever those are), and are following the Bay12 meta of seeking out scumtells actively quite well, I'd say. They are new, yes, but they are playing the game well. They both believe you to be the last scum (or are scum lying that they do), and as such are voting you.

@mod: Why don't you tell me word for word how a lynch is decided.
In the B12 forums, Mafia board subsection of the Forum Games and Roleplaying Board, we decide lynches in these ways:
> All mechanics of the lynch will be clearly stated in the OP. There are Two main methods of lynching:
     a. With Hammer
     b. Without Hammer (otherwise called the vote timer)

Section (a) relates to the idea that, in a given game, there exists a certain limit of votes on a player--when that limit is reached, the lynch occurs and the day is ended. This will be announced in the vote counts and in the first day opening from the GM of the game, regardless of game style (Our board's own BYOR, Bastard Game, Inexplicable hilarious game with game-changing powers, BMs, etc...). There will be no timer and when the limit is reached--often my mass consensus or slippery-scum-move, the day is ended and any posts after that of the last vote, otherwise well known as the 'hammer vote', will be politely asked to be stricken out.

Section (b) pertains to the style used in all BMs, and the consensus on the system used in how BMs are run. This style includes vote timers and a set time to which the day ends, only affected by requests for extension or additions of replacing players in the game--regardless of game style (BYOR, Bastard Game, Inexplicable hilarious game with game-changing powers, BMs, etc...) and will always be mentioned in altruism and transparency by the moderator.
In the BMs, there exists the new rule--placed under the DAY/NIGHT LENGTH rule which determines the timeset and day end by majority decision, or idleness by all (the latter has been noted that this was made under the pure assumption of all players having made a consensus on who will be lynched, though are undecided.) though it still adheres to the rules in section b, only without a vote timer. Relevant thread in question here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=133427.0)

As far as memory comes, BM 42 was the first to adopt this new method. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=127764.0)

I will be closing the thread in a half hour from now for the players to begin calming down. The moderator is a learned person in behavioral matters and the human condition, and wishes for the people playing in her game to be the best they are, in all conditions and weathers.

It may not change the situation your environment is in, however in my state I can infer that it must be toxic enough to affect your daily life either in stress or through mental frustration.
However the break may help in this instance, where you've time to gather your thoughts and post in a way which will accept other perspectives but will be open in detailing your own. Anger does a good job of clouding up perceptions, and interactions with others, yet is as temporary as how far you focus on the existence of a problem.
In that environment, that problem may be attached to a cause that bugs you quite much passively--you must deal with this yourself :< though advice from others is always helpful, if constructive. But the break does help in gathering your thoughts and re-presentation of how you will act.

Game is still screwed, though. 

I'm prone to getting angry at games sometimes, it happens, games are the only thing left that still have that power over me.
Their whole " we don't care what you say, your input is not important to us, we have already decided" vibe set me off.  That is almost literally spitting in the face of what mafia should be.  The fact that they're getting away with scumpainting me without presenting a shred of evidence broke through the bit of self control I had. 

This game is simply not winnable when one party shuts down communication with another.

I will say, I did read everything you said. And I was not going to lynch you, I though you were scum so I was attempting to pressure you. I would have changed my vote should it have been three people voting you, or the day was going to end. A true lynch is a bad idea, but voting to pressure you was (In my opinion at least)

It is still possible for anyone to be scum.
Also, the scum tells were kind of evidence against you... At least I consider them to be.
I went out of my way to commit a bunch of tells on the list of common tells to see who would try to look past that and who would fall into the trap.
Well, considering it is possible (Read the OP well) for there to not even be a jailkeeper this game I don't think this was a good idea. Why would you set a trap for your teammates tn5421?

"Setting a trap for your teammates"
You say this as if one of you weren't scum.
It tell me that neither you or world are at all familiar with my meta.
It also suggests that you're putting more stock in those tells than perhaps you should.  Scum have access to them, as well.

I'm less upset with your vote knowing that hammering isn't possible.

I don't like the fact that you naturally assume I set a trap for my teammates while thinking I'm the most likely scum.  You can't have it both ways.  Either I'm town that set a trap to catch scum or I'm scum trying to look busy.

How could we be familiar with it? This is our (or at least my) first game of mafia with you.

Are we supposed to just take your word that you're jailor?</rhetorical questions> You're just as easily scum not killing any one.

Why should we not put stock into the scum tells?

Let me add onto Cptn's question in the way I think she meant it: "If you're town, why would you want to set a trap for your teammates?"

I don't see how appearing as scum would "catch scum" any more than suspicious town members.

I am not actually familiar with much meta, considering this is my first game ever...
And I don't fully trust Worldmaster, but I consider him the least scummy.

I am aware scum has access to them, but they are common for a reason. If no one was doing them this game, then I would focus on other things.
Also, yeah. Worldmaster explains it better then me.
"If you're town, why would you want to set a trap for your teammates?"
The scum tells are what makes me think you are scum. Is you were faking them, then you had me fooled. I was focusing on you, because you seemed the most scummy.

Point 1: it's linked in my signature, you can peruse all of my mafiascum games with ease.
Point 2: I don't seem to recall you ever providing any evidence that I am lying.  Something you should consider if you are going to continue to imply that I'm a liar.
Point 3: Because they are accessible to all players, anyone who wishes to avoid commuting them will do so.
Point 4: will answer in my reply to Cptn.  You'll have to wait, typing on mobile is a pain.
Point 5: It can bait scum into jumping on by making starting a wagon appear "safe".

And you didn't actually answer the question, unless you answered it in point five of World's message, making point four useless.
And if point five is the answer, it probably wasn't the best strategy for a beginners game.

Okay, Tn, I'm going to go ahead and help you out since it's my job to do so and you seem to have calmed down. Multiple posts in a row won't help you. They clutter up the thread and scream of poorly made posts tat you just throw out without any consideration. Consolidate your thoughts into a single post. You can make the best points IN THE WORLD and if you post them like you just did no one, NO ONE, will care. Mafia players are expected to read literally millions of words during the course of a game. You need to make yours come across as important by making it all in one big, but easy to read, post.

Consolidate your posts, he says, as if the list of posts did not occur over a 24 hour period, attempting to solicit easier replies.  The fact that nobody has replied still is quite telling.  If 24h without posting is prod-worthy, the mod needs to prod everyone else in the game.

As I've said before, nobody wants to engage with me and it has nothing to do with the frequency I post at.

There are a couple of things I was looking for, primary among them the level of effort they were willing to put into pushing for my lynch.  Another major factor I was looking out for was buddying/wheeling reads, which you and world wee doing until recently.
The primary difference in how I see you vs how I see world is mindset.  His questions toward me have all had the tone "why should I care" where your posts (Cptn) have a more innocent & inquisitive tone.

I'm just not posting because I don't have much to say.  I have my suspicions, but the obviously correct choice is to just no-lynch.

Also, let this be my vote that if the scum don't kill tonight, we end the game in a draw, because this is getting tedious.  This should (hopefully) encourage the scum to actually play the game.

Cptn: I haven't been posting because I haven't felt that there's anything to post about. The mafia hasn't killed anyone in a few days, supposedly because I'm being blocked, and there otherwise hasn't been much activity.

I've also become a bit disinterested in the game since there's nothing happening.

Another thing to think about: tn5 has said that he's blocking me, right? Well, if he is mafia, what's stopping him from choosing not to kill anyone and then he can safely say that he's jailor, a role that isn't currently in the game. No one can dispute him, everyone but the accused thinks he's actually the jailor and they lynch a townie. The next night, he'll kill someone and win.

He would still have to convince you all that he's jailor, and if he did kill someone during the night after claiming that he was jailor he would have to explain away his lack of diligence as he let the scum kill town. If people still believed him in the slightest, that is.

tn is playing a clever game, but it's not particularly hard for me to see through.  I have actually (as scum) accused someone of doing exactly what they are doing (when they were legit town jailkeep).  When it turned out there was a cop in the game, the odds of there being a jailkeeper went from 66% to 50%, and when nobody volunteered information at the end of the game, tn took a chance (there was nothing else to lose, they were going to be lynched if they didn't say something) and claimed jailkeep.  The beauty of a jailkeep claim is that if you claim to roleblock the same target repeatedly and don't kill, the town may eventually lynch your target instead of you, and you can actually win the game.  It is certainly a commendable effort, but yeah, you're scum.

On the other hand, there is the very, VERY slight chance that they are jailkeep and the scum is Worldmaster.  At this stage in the game, I really don't feel like taking chances, but the longer this game goes on...

Right so...I've gotten a nice PM from Jim regarding the state of the game--and it seems better for everyone if I really end this in a draw (though its seriously a lame ending), given the time invested to...results.
As stated, this game is for learning, given the setup. I cheerfully hope y'all have learned what this certain situation presents, and the consequences of such in the balance?

One tip on resolving it: Dayplay, and scumhunting. There comes a time, in all Mafia games, wherein the 'massclaim' or the role power claim doesn't fully equate a win or a sense of certainty--this is where deduction, reasoning and holistic scumhunting is nudged in.

And I can't say any more because impartiality. :I

tn5421, you seem the scummiest out of all of us. Worldmaster hasn't done much to seem scummy, and Fourmaskwolf would have attacked someone by now. Whereas you, well you did that whole descent into madness thing, and there is only a 50% chance there even is a jailkeeper.

Before we draw into those kinds of things, I'll let all know that the way mods distribute roles per BM is...well, rolled for, to say the least. Not coded by a hard percentage (or at least of any of the games I've seen in this whole board).

Meaning There can be a Rolecop without Cop or Jailkeeper, and such. :P

If you really believe that, then I'm done playing with you.

It tell me that neither you or world are at all familiar with my meta.
How could we be familiar with it? This is our (or at least my) first game of mafia with you.

Are we supposed to just take your word that you're jailor?</rhetorical questions> You're just as easily scum not killing any one.

Why should we not put stock into the scum tells?

Let me add onto Cptn's question in the way I think she meant it: "If you're town, why would you want to set a trap for your teammates?"

I don't see how appearing as scum would "catch scum" any more than suspicious town members.

Read the parts I bolded and tell me that is a 100% protown stance to take.

Now, show me the seafront property you're selling in Kansas.

Mafia is a game of interaction.  Your refusal to have any legitimate discussion with me hurts the game.
You completely and utterly refuse to believe that there is any possibility of you being wrong.  This attitude has no place in a game of mafia, and certainly makes me feel better about what I'm going to do, which would be permaban worthy in just about any other circumstance.
Your refusal to calm down and stop insulting us or even try to have a debate is what paints you as scum. You refuse to to believe that there is any possibility of your being wrong either.

How have I thrown the game? Voting for someone I'm sure is scum isn't throwing the game - it's playing it.

I'll withdraw my vote for a no-lynch if you or 4mask can convince me that a no-lynch is better. (in 4p mylo, 1scum/3town)

You're threatening to rage quit if we don't immediately switch our votes to align with yours? ::)

It's "suboptimal" because if we lynch you, then we win right?

Insulting us won't convince anyone of the contrary.

PPE: When was the last time you answered any question? Whether or not you thought it was to paint you as scum.

We don't need to do that - you're doing it well enough on your own.

Go ahead, tell me I'm the only person acting scummy.
I'll wait.

Oh, and I would like to report Worldmaster for
He would still have to convince you all that he's jailor, and if he did kill someone during the night after claiming that he was jailor he would have to explain away his lack of diligence as he let the scum kill town. If people still believed him in the slightest, that is.

Well, I mean if he had done it before. He said he was blocking you, it would have been easy to kill me/fourmaskwolf and blame it on the other. The longer he waits, the less likely fourmaskwolf and I are to be scum.

No, because I'm auto-scum unless I'm the one that dies.  "Fakeclaiming" as you stated would not be my best available option as scum.  I would have simply claimed cop with a guilty on 4wolf to play into the World/Cptn friendship thing going on.
You don't have to believe me, of course, but it doesn't change the fact that you're throwing away your last and probably only PR, as well as auto-losing the game, by lynching me.

Cptn: I haven't been posting because I haven't felt that there's anything to post about. The mafia hasn't killed anyone in a few days, supposedly because I'm being blocked, and there otherwise hasn't been much activity.

I've also become a bit disinterested in the game since there's nothing happening.

Another thing to think about: tn5 has said that he's blocking me, right? Well, if he is mafia, what's stopping him from choosing not to kill anyone and then he can safely say that he's jailor, a role that isn't currently in the game. No one can dispute him, everyone but the accused thinks he's actually the jailor and they lynch a townie. The next night, he'll kill someone and win.

Your reasoning here rings rake to me.  You're doing everything in your power to push all suspicion off of yourself and onto me.

...What do you want me to see? Your point flew over my head, if there was one to begin with. Here, I'll address each of the bolded segments.

"How could we be familiar with [your meta game]"
I don't see how this is scummy, it's me honestly telling you that I don't know what your meta is.

"just take your word [that you're jailor]"
You can't give much proof beyond saying that you've been jailing me, which as 4mask and myself have said before, could just be a ploy.

"in the way I think she meant it: "If you're town[...]"
How's this scummy? I was trying to help clarify what I thought was what she meant.

"what paints you as scum. You refuse to to believe that there is any possibility of your being wrong either."
I admit that this possibly could have been worded better, but you haven't been doing a good job of appearing as town.

"convince me that a no-lynch is better."
What's wrong with this? If I'm thinking that you should be lynched but you want a no-lynch, why shouldn't you try to convince me that your point of view is better?

"immediately"
This was a hyperbole. I suppose I should have put </exaggeration> right after it, no?

PPE(x2)
As far as not the best possibility goes, claiming cop would be the worst. Krevsin was the cop, and he's dead. As 4mask said.

"I haven't felt that there's anything to post about." & "I've also become a bit disinterested"
When you say reasoning, I assume you mean reasoning for not posting? Even so, I don't see how this is pushing any suspicion from me to you.

<nitpicking>
"Fakeclaiming" as you stated
I didn't. It was implied, but I didn't state it. I don't get why you need the quotation marks. </nitpicking>

Cop was dead already, that's why you chose jailkeeper.
And we were going to end it as a draw anyways, I'm playing as if it were a draw with a chance for me to win. Unless you just would rather sit here until everyone leaves?

And also, what is not town about the bolded statements? I really don't see it... At all.

2: Which is no excuse to push a lynch in MYLO.

3: In this statement you're protecting Cptn.  Cptn is capable of defending himself.  It is very likely that you did this to get Cptn to agree with you about me.

4: I don't need to believe when nearly every post you make has little to no town motivation behind it.

5: Maybe because it's actually a better idea to commit genocide than lynch in mylo without a cop guilty?

1: I have read your "dossier" thing. It gave me no information on whatever your meta is. Also, how would claiming that I do know it reveal me as scum?

2: I stand by what I said. Voting for the most likely scum in MYLO is how to win, right? We can't very well wait for a cop to magically give us the answer when he's dead.

3: *Herself, and again, I stand by what I said. I was clarifying it because I thought it needed clarification.

4: And you show me what posts of mine, recently, have had absolutely no town-motivation behind them?

Your posts don't have much, if any, pro-town motivation behind them. Or can you tell me how insulting us helps you find the scum?

5: Seriously? You're comparing something that can't currently happen with genocide. Since we apparently aren't allowed to kill anybody without a cop's guilty read, are we supposed to end the game in a draw or just sit here?

6: You can't be bothered to read the game that you're actively participating in? How was I supposed to know that you don't care enough about the game to be an adequate player?

Wait, th5421, you were in the game when the cop died...
Why are you acting like you didn't know he died?
Could you answer this then?

Because you have been playing as if you were the only power role, when everyone, including you, should know we had a cop.
I'll go quote, because otherwise you will ignore my message, even though I'm on a phone...
6: You do realize I didn't read the thread when I replaced in right?
You are using this as an excuse to not know the cop died, but you had already switched in. In fact, you were one of the ones who voted to lynch the cop.
Ignoring the fact that when you switched in you said you read the game, you still should know the cop died.

Clearly we are waiting on Silthuri to reverse his 'oppose shorten' vote to end the day.
Don't need to waste time updating me; I did read most of the thread.  And hopefully we get another replacement.
Krevsin was the cop, and this was two posts after you voted to lynch him.

No, because I'm auto-scum unless I'm the one that dies.  "Fakeclaiming" as you stated would not be my best available option as scum.  I would have simply claimed cop with a guilty on 4wolf to play into the World/Cptn friendship thing going on.
You don't have to believe me, of course, but it doesn't change the fact that you're throwing away your last and probably only PR, as well as auto-losing the game, by lynching me.
Yeah, this post, it doesn't make sense. Claiming cop was the worst thing you could have done, not the best. You said you didn't read through the game, but did you really not read it as you were playing it? I mean, you should have at least read the moderator's posts to figure out who had died...

And why do you refuse to answer my posts? I asked you two questions, and you ignored them.
tn5421, why do you expect us to read all your games to learn your meta when you can't even be bothered to read the whole game you are in?
And why would you lie about reading it?

Cptn I literally didn't read the rest of your post and don't intend to, since only scum have motivation to use out-of-game elements to deflect criticism.
And in case you are going to say you don't have time or something along those lines, here is a helpful quote from you.

Since you can't even show the basic level of respect to quote what you're talking about, I won't respond.
Talking of town motivation, where is it here? You show no town motivation in a lot of your posts. Can you show us some of your posts that have "town motivation" begin them? Or at least explain what you mean by town motivation?

Voting yourself, insulting people, those things aren't what town does (at least in my opinion.)
You also quite often ignore questions you don't want to answer, or posts that you don't like, and then attack the person to justify your ignoring it. That doesn't have any town motivation, does it?

I agree with what Tiruin says, stop acting like a victim. You haven't done anything to prove yourself town, but when we do anything about it (for example, voting you) you start acting like we are hating on you, and then freak out.

Now about the cop stuff, Krevsin had to be replaced. There was no one who was playing as the cop, and so no one could post his results. tn5421, could you explain how this is Worldmaster's fault?

And all of the reason's you have given to think of Worldmaster as scummy is that his posts have little of this "town motivation", but I think he is acting more townie then you are...

Also I went and read a mafiascum game of yours. You got accused of being scum,   so then you OMGUSed the guy who attacked you, then refused to talk about it and attacked him without evidence every time he made a post.

Very well.

tn5:

You are implying that, somehow, I have been blocking Krevsin's ability to post his cop reads on people.

I ask you to explain why you seem to think that I am responsible for his inability to post his reads due to unfavorable timezones and meatspace internet conditions?



How am I responsible for Krevsin being unable to post his result due to timezone and meatspace stuff?

Quote what you're talking about or don't post.
It is relevant because you accused me of affecting something I am very obviously unable to affect. This, in my eyes, was just a feeble attempt to try to draw any amount of suspicion off of you and to try and put it on me. You also seem to be trying very hard to avoid answering the majority of questions thrown your way. This is a very bad way to play town, IMO, if you are one.

Also, in reply 517 (the one above this one, in case you can't tell), you simply ignored the questions posed to you instead preferring to nitpick and ask which game she looked at.

Avoiding these questions has absolutely zero of the town motivation you care so much about.

If you didn't want to play the game through, why'd you replace in?

At least we won, even if you've quit.

Hold on, if you don't want to play maybe you should replace out? A new person may be able to actually play the game convince us that you're not mafia.

The Printing Press of Xlixia has always been the source of wisdom, news and opinions for the people to ponder about. You are employed as a general writer and field reporter, having a 'thing' with the masses and social situations. You have applied to this post due to past experiences, rather unstated in the resume, as the streetlife and harsh times have tempered your spirit. You are a woman of character and potential--having been learned in the hard knocks of life, yet enlightened by the thought of hope and determination. There is much ahead in your life, and several times have you thought about that.

There only lies determination, wisdom and a will to persevere. Your life is what you make of it, and in these troubled times, you must stand firm. You have a choice--that is something that will never be taken from you. Your tongue is your sword and your mind is your shield.


You are town.

Wincondition: You win when all of the mafia are eliminated.


You wake up and check the closet for your coat--another day. Your coat is warm and fuzzy, having the trimmings of fox fur in the neckline. A jingling rouses you to full wakefulness.

Your hand slips into your right pocket, lower jacket. There is a set of keys there.
The feel of metal renews your purpose and jogs your memory.


You are town. Each night, you can guard another player to prevent them from acting or being acted upon.

Comrade Shamrock/McDonald and Worldmaster27 have won the game!

He would still have to convince you all that he's jailor, and if he did kill someone during the night after claiming that he was jailor he would have to explain away his lack of diligence as he let the scum kill town. If people still believed him in the slightest, that is.
Well, I mean if he had done it before. He said he was blocking you, it would have been easy to kill me/fourmaskwolf and blame it on the other. The longer he waits, the less likely fourmaskwolf and I are to be scum.
Yeah, this proved you as scum to me. You should have said us...

But then tn5421 didn't say anything more about it. She could have built an actual case to attack you using this.

I also think I became quite a bit more active after TDS died, since he was suspicious of me. I wanted to try and get rid of those suspicions by being more active with scumhunting.

PPE: Ah, that's a good catch. However I could try to explain it away as, since he's trying to convince you all to lynch me, he doesn't need to convince me. Just you guys. Thus, you all.

Win or lose doesn't matter in a BM. What matters is what you learn from it--that doesn't mean that you should throw the game away in any situation just because its a BM though. :P
Next, you do not judge yourself by concrete concepts of success and failure, and apply negative and positive to describe yourself by your...scorecard. It is a guide, not a descriptor (as many grades are IRL in the education system >_>), as well as many other factors which lead to the win/lose. Judging yourself fully by that W/L ratio is...
...
Incomplete.

You have no idea how many times I really wanted to step in and say something at the end of this.
The last day was painful to read, there was just... Too much.   ._.

Tiruin: It's ok to wait on the post game flavor, you're under attack by molds.

Well, I'm terribly sorry for not being more active when I had the chance.

Yay! Victory. Good job Worldmaster. Sorry I had to drop out of game. But I will try to play again with you guys. Just don't look for me until summer.

This game isn't very kind to my mental health.

Well another loss on my record that gives me... One win in all of my mafia games. How delightful...
I thought I had the worst record. Apparently not!

This game isn't very kind to my mental health.
Yeah mafia is intense, but it's good training in keeping a cool head under pressure.

It's not even that.  I take gameplay related insults personally when I know I shouldn't.
