Mafia Game Threads / Re: Mafia XIX: Deep Space Nine Mafia (Day 1)

« on: January 06, 2013, 08:40:09 pm »

My experience of multiple scum teams is that it's easier for scum to actually scumhunt. So in a sense that makes it harder for us to figure out who's scum based on who seems to be genuinely looking for scum. But there hasn't been terribly much theory talk as I think the majority of the thread has stemmed from Dsell's calling out of Eevee for not saying he was Station-Aligned.

You can move them around each turn, and yes there's no point putting them with your hobbit holes, but also no point holding on to them.

Rules Questions / Re: Moat - Can it block multible attacks from same player?

« on: January 06, 2013, 05:45:31 pm »

Don't worry, I believe you. My point was just, thinking of an edge case wherein an experienced player would have two generally bad cards is different to saying that it actually happened.

I dunno, just because Moat and Secret Chamber are both generally weak cards doesn't mean there aren't plenty of situations where either can be good enough for a good player to use them. And those situations can then co-exist to make both cards good enough to have. And, they even have synergy either each other, outside of the reaction part. Playing Moat, Moat, Secret chamber is the same as playing a Vault (except without helping your opponent). Granted you need lots of Villages. But as long as you have actions to spare, Moat is a Laboratory.

Oh, so you've done it then?

Well if your die roll fails you have to choose were how to distribute your guys who would have otherwise taken the last area, but I guess you can do that anyway. I think how it would help the most is that we can have more consecutive turns when you're not here, if we choose to.

Next, Dsell. Now Dsell gets some Town points for his first post. I don't think anyone's calling him obvTown, but if he's scum it was a clever post, and quite cleverly worded I think. But let's give him a pinch of Town cred and move on. He hasn't contributed terribly much to the game (other than, you know, being the catalyst for much of the conversation so far), with a total of 10 posts. The next three after his first one were fairly pointless posts about the setup and what information scum have etc. Not much to say from that, I think. His next two posts were about other games, so irrelevant. So all up he has a total of 4 posts about this actual game (not counting his first one).

First he says that Eevee doesn't seem like Town Eevee, but doesn't say why he thinks that. Based on his reactions to cases on him, he implies, but nothing more specific than that. He's not convinced by the contradiction case, Town Eevee could have been accidentally digging himself into a hole. Then he says my case is a Towny case, even if it's wrong, he doesn't trust ash, and it's not a blitz game so running off for IRL reasons is not scummy. So a couple of thoughts, but nothing particularly new or that helpful.

I think if Dsell hadn't scored Town points for his first post, people may well be suspecting him for his lack of contribution. But, I haven't picked up on anything scummy from him yet, so still on the Town side for his first post, I think, but I'd like more of a contribution from him as well.

Okay so now that I'm taking my focus off Eevee (for now anyway), I should look at some other people.

First, the easiest, sparky.

So sparky here could be an easy target for LaLL, with his measly two posts. I believe sparky kind of has a history of lurking, but two posts out of over 300 looks pretty bad. In his first post he says a couple of things, gives a couple of opinions, but like he says, he "doesn't add a whole lot". In his second, and latest post, he promises to be more involved. And then nothing. Granted, it hasn't been THAT long since then, it was ~14 hours and 90 posts ago, but a lot has happened since then and overall, and some contribution would be nice. I'll be looking for some genuine scum-hunting from sparky to make up for his non-involvement so far.

If we get some more genuine first timers out of the blue, then I'll let the newbie game start before mine.

Qvist, would you consider letting us do our own die rolls? I think it would speed the game up considerably, especially if someone takes Beserk. I don't think anyone here would cheat.

He is, but I think he'd also like to play. If he's quite happy to just mod, then good on him, but I thought he should have a chance to play if he wants to, especially given how much modding he's been doing.

I think seeing as it was Davio's idea and Qvist is running it, someone random from everyone else or everyone else plus Qvist should be picked to sit out.

I actually think a newbie only game would be more interesting than mostly newbies led by a couple of vets.

Maybe we should start a new thread to see how many newbies there are out there who would play a newbie only game (ie no Robz, no Eevee, no me unless I need to make up the numbers).

Okay well with that in mind, assuming my game fills up, how long do you think I should wait until launching?

Also yes, if there is a sudden rush of Newbies I'd hope veterans such as Robz will be first in line to give up their spot.

Uh, I really don 't think ashersky is scum. I think he's making a lot of sense. His post about the Eevee case serving its purpose really resonated with me. And I totally get what he's saying about raerae.

I'm trying not to rely on metas as much, because they haven't served me too well lately. I like what ashersky has to say, Is ee where it's coming from, so I don't think he's scummy. So I don't like this case.

I also don't like that it's coming from lurker extraordinaire Glooble.

This whole post confused me.  Here is what I got from it: ashersky isn't scum, he's making sense, you like what he has to say but you don't like his case?  Hopefully you've clarified this in another post I'll read soon, if not, can you explain it?  Sorry if I'm just misunderstanding but I need some clarification.

He didn't like Glooble's case on ash.

ashersky, I think you just described raerae's town playstyle and voted her over it.

Jimmm, what do you think of me now, after you've seen my responses to your case and also heard what other people think of it?

I like the mom saloon case.

Maybe, but isn't that scum's plan?  To play like their town selves?

You can officially never use meta arguments again.  If you say someone is playing like town that also means they're scum trying to play like town but if they aren't playing like town then they're scum.  So in ashersky world, everybody is scum.

I'm not sure whether I buy into ash's case on you, but "She's acting like Town raerae so clearly she's scum" isn't it. I think what he meant by that was that just because you're acting like Town raerae doesn't necessarily make you Town. His actual case had more to it than that.

Personally I'm finding you particularly hard to read because so far you've always come across pretty much the same to me, that is no-nonsense, won't take crap from anyone, not afraid to be a bit condescending, and generally more reactive to what people say than trying to build cases. And you've been Town twice, and mislynched the only time you were lynchable. I think your playstyle might generally go against you when you're Town (especially while you're still relatively new) because you're probably more likely than average to be mislynched, but it might help you when you're scum because you can do the same things and people might just say "Oh that's just raerae."

I think he means when you called him a jerk.

I don't remember the eevee-galz interaction

Yep, pretty sure he remembers the other thing.

Yeah that was a bit derp.

Oh right. It was easy to miss, but I found it:

Ok. I'm finished up RVS'ing (I hope).

I'm going to be away for awhile - will have my phone on me and will still be able to post, but expect the number of posts to drop significantly.

Then you make some jokey posts that don't really do anything (you said this yourself). Then you announce you've got to go and will only be phone-posting. Now, townGalz is known for being present and active, and I would assume scumGalz would want to try to replicate that. However, you announcing that felt a little forced to me given there was no active discussion going (and short jokey posts you could also do from your phone quite conveniently if you so desired). I know I want to announce the reasons for my legit periods of no access when I'm scum, so I can for example use the time I can "lurk" without seeming suspicious on actual situations I WANT to lurk in.
