I really did think GWG was scum, though. Huh.Seems to be a common enough opinion. The other Mafia game I'm in, I again avoided being scum but people think I am.
Also, does anyone else feel that Sprint games are slightly biased towards the mafia? It might be a bit too early to tell (only two games, and this one had major inactivity problems), but I think town needs a slight boost.Well, we could do a study. Might require a pretty big sample size, though...
<Vatican? Are the order members of strong will?>((I'll answer once the question makes sense and once Sanure gives me the relevant data.))
Can't see the image- I'd wait to see the image before posting my action... In case it looks like some deformed rhinoceros with a massive horn stuck in the ground.Probably not; the "image url" mentioned a guy who can fly but not breathe fire, and a guy who can breathe fire but not fly.
GWG I know you're out there: you're about to lynch a town player when far better options are available. This may be used against you if you are town and survive to D2.Isn't that exactly what you would say if you were a mafia player?
...The only game I've had much experience in. And did I fail to imply sufficiently that this one was failing to change my views? Because it is.
You're biased on Mafia because of one game.
One.
Game.
I'd have posted here earlier if I could. My main advice is DON'T CAUSE A TIE IN LYLO! Anything is better than that, since it means you lose for sure. Even if you're not sure, a lynch is better than no lynch.What the heck does LYLO mean, anyways?
Sounds good to me. A fatigue meter also seems like a good idea, if it isn't too much work.I'd say up to four and make the PC's more lethal. It makes sense in the beginning at least since we either are better trained or more lethal than a mook to begin with.So, you're saying that killing the initial, low-point-value footsoldiers should be overall easier to kill, but the advantage lessens as the more elite enemy soldiers start arriving?
Oooooo yes everything's a scumtell~Honestly? I've got nothing, and unlike some people I've seen in College of Cardinals game (who followed such logic and promptly lynched the doc), I'm not going to delude myself into thinking that what people say is in any way a reliable indicator of what they are. That would require the scum to be pretty damn incompetent, to miss tells that you know about; anyways, most "tells" I've heard seem fairly likely to happen on accident by a townie.
What matters is the context and essence of why it is a scumtell instead of basing it on your spurious case of paranoia.
Could you in the least detail something for this time rather then go with your brevity like you laid out before?
The difference is, I'm playing in all games with Whitius. I'm only playing in two games with you, so your chance of being town in all games from my perspective are: 4/5 * 3/4 * 4/5, or 12/25. There's not much in it, but mathematically, I've got a better reason to vote Whitius right now. And even this isn't a very strong reason, but the fact that they've yet to post is also another good reason to vote them: an inactive player can't be relied on to help town win at LYLO.I believe you've managed to excellently miss the point.
OK, there's a kernel of a good argument here but you're fighting the wrong person. Asking people to explain themselves when it's not clear to you why a town player would say the thing they just said (and backing up such a request with a threat of a vote) is legitimate scumhunting. Do you disagree?In theory? No. In practice? Well, regardless of if the player is scum or town, he'll have a reason. If the reason sounds good, it means that either the player's a townie who has a good reason, or that he's a scum who's good at making up reasons. If it sounds bad, it means that the player is a scum who isn't so good at hiding things, unless it's an honest townie who has an unusual reason. Real conclusive...

I've been told that going after lurkers is a scumtell...In my (limited) experience, damn near anything can be construed as a scumtell, short of having the GM inform everyone of what you are (and that only happens when you're too dead to care). Don't sweat it.
GreatWyrmGold: I don't think you're scum, but like Elephant Parade said earlier, this could also be a desperate gambit to escape suspicion. I really doubt it, though, so hopefully we can get you replaced with someone who's interested in playing. I'll be able to give reads on them if we end up having enough time to let them post first.If I was scum, I'd probably be less likely to suicide, neh?
Also, GWG's posts just seem off. Like, really off. I have never seen GWG use words like that. Never. it just seems like a badly faked post.Like what?
If this seriously isn't a gambit, please request replacement.We could try that, too.
Also, this has been a pretty awful game, in all honesty. I've played two games before this, and both of those were better. I recommend you stick around for another BM.Suggestion noted.
I still think he would normally play through to the end, though.Aye.
Perseus: GWG's odd thread-checking methods (he looks at individual subforums, not the New Replies list) mean that he may not remember this thread until the day is over. Could you send him a bump? Unless a certain amount of time needs to pass or whatever.I try to check Mafia fairly frequently, just in case.
