D1 - 7 posts (only what I personally find interesting),
#37 - Vote No-Lynch
Nothing special even though I don't understand NL voting.
#152 - New Player
Leoric explained that he is a New Player, not very active due to busy week, that he is a good guy (Town claim?) and promised to post more often. He played only once about 2 years ago.
Another mention of him being a good guy, an excuse to not paying attention, and a promise to change that approach. LAMIST? New players tend to act that way and it's too early to decide but still.
Leoric_AKA_Leo: @GymHenson,
I've only played mafia once 2 years ago, it was Pooka invited me ;)
#167 - First analysis
He is honest and naive. Leoric mentioned yet again that he is a good guy, and the good guy should be honest (another Town claim?).
Leoric_AKA_Leo: I knew a little bit about Joe and Fish two years ago in
Secret Hilter games, so I'll talk about them first.
Joe have been very relax and chill (and somehow maybe a little bit cocky?) and in my memory (2 years ago) Joe always invest a lot of emotion in
games.
Does it mean that Leoric played more than once, or that he considered Secret Hitler games separately from Mafia game (in which he participated only one time), or even that he played once but read some other games as spectator out of curiusity?
@Leoric, could you please clarify on that? Does it mean that you played GOG Mafia 1 time and Secret Hitler games a few times? How many games in total? Micro is random, making no sense. (Huh?)
Book's so called *rolefish* could not be done by a bad guy because it's too bold. A bit far fetched but I think the very same way, only crazy Mafia would do that (Do crazy Mafia exists?)
Dogmaus would be suspicious if not for a *newbie card* (nothing about Mango at the same time, wasn't he also a new player?)
NL vote explained: I'm newbie, I think this is how things work on first round (D1 I presume). *Following the crowd* approach, not good but make sense for inexperienced player.
Yet Leoric insists on NL vote, Lift arguments were not good enough for him to dissuade from his vote so far. Random lynch might kill Town (Who would have thought?). Appeal to Pooka-the-Mod for additional explanation.
#170 - Understanding of NL
Leoric thanked others for the explanation, lynch is a better option now than NL.
Vote on Mango (me-the-other-me)
Seems like a semi-serious vote to counter ridiculous and broken ill-vote cast from Mango (that vote wasn't even considered as a vote).
#173 - Going after Mango for now
Leoric_AKA_Leo: Now I fully understood. And there are several kind people explained to me as well. I'm going after mango right now.
#211 Leoric_AKA_Leo: Joke aside,
most people trusted me right now.
Is it a self-belief (based on what exactly?) or a soft attempt at manipulation? I don't trust anyone, especially the person who tells others that he should be trusted. Could Mafia play *a newbie card*? Too risky I guess, yet how else should Leoric play being Town or Mafia? Hmm...
@Leoric, did you really think that most players trusted you back then or it was a figure of speech or something? Haven't you changed your mind since then? Lastly who do you think trusted in you on D1?
Leoric stated that everyone who liked his posts will get his attention. Too open, yet perfectly understandable given his experience.
Leoric_AKA_Leo: ...
people told me newbies are only safe in the first round. Wait,
that means I shouldn't vote mango in this round. It won't work anyways. A courtesy of GOG Mafia to not lynch new players on D1 because again *Following the crowd* approach. There is some logic in that of course, but what about making our own opinions? Perhaps it's too early for that.
Leoric_AKA_Leo: I assume our hotpicks are Joe, GH and fish? Joe is out of contact, fish is shooting everybody, and I don't have bad feelings about GH for now.
I'll wait for more people vote in. We still have time I assume?
#216 - Insignificant post.
Day 1 passed, no hammer, no vote change, IRL? D2 - current round #380 - Leoric was going to place his vote but forgot to do it (sounds almost like Mango's lame excuses). Was it done on purpose (lurking or choosing that particular reason to not attend)? Hard to say but I don't like it.
#387 - Ready to jump any wagon
Leoric_AKA_Leo: I feel like I could jump on any wagon and end this day without several more (real life) days to decide.
Willingness to end the Day prematurely?
Why? Leoric_AKA_Leo: ...in my imagination,
an experienced scum player tend to talk a lot to distract or try to control how people would vote.
Well, in my imagination an experienced Mafia player is indistinguishable from a Town player. But in reality it could be literally any play style. I don't get it, why Leoric is so open and willing to *Follow the crowd* yet he is fine with reading others based on his own *imagination*. Perhaps I'm biased, I just can't see logic here. Then again I was asking for Leoric's own opinion, I should be happy, I'm not.
Leoric decided to consider having a notepad for posts. And I agree with him on that reading all the posts is time consuming.
#389 - Probability theory
Leoric did a good job explaining GH his *2 times in a row Micro theory*. Kudos on that.
Leoric_AKA_Leo: A fun fact is that I'm a townie in every forum games Pooka held (maybe 5 or 6 games?), but I'm still a town this time.
A hard claim of Town Alignment. And again how many Mafia games there were? Only 1 and the rest (4 or 5) are for Secret Hitler?
#392 - Vote on Micro
Leoric mentioned that his vote might be necessary because of possible IRL (he is a busy man, that would explain his rare posting).
Leoric_AKA_Leo: I didn't read what fish said since they won't make sense anyway.
Why? What's wrong with Micro??? Leoric_AKA_Leo: I won't take too much time to explain for myself since
most people still believe I'm town.
Again why do you think most people believe you're Town? Because you declared so? This is not how it works, even a New Player should know that! Leoric_AKA_Leo: GH have been drawing too much attention but we still can't tell if his scum or not.
True, yet we can't tell if anyone else is Mafia or not. If you can now, then please tell me. Some analysis on Dedo, Flub, ZFR.
Dedo and Flub probably Town because they are careful with reading posts and share their thoughts.
Since when Mafia is NOT careful with the same thing? Leoric liked how ZFR stated that Mafia withhold the NK option seems unlikely (Smooth).
Book and Joe should be suspicious equally, but Joe more so. (Here I agree that Joe's posts were mostly joking)
And another statement about willingness to hammer anyone. (Frightening, this I can understand, but I would hammer only after a claim and at least a short discussion with others unless it's 5 minutes before EOD).
My verdict: No significant help for Town, lurker during final phase of D1, lurker on D2 (yes, it could IRL), odd logic. Could be both an inexperienced Town or Mafia (but in this case it's even less smart).
Vote Leoric -
Consider my attention for now and please reply to bold when (if) you can.
