oooooof

You have mentioned me as scum three times, all of them because of my number of posts. Any other reasons?

I have said all I feel I have to say on Day 1. I said what I think about the joke, and nothing more will come of it, at least until we have a confirmed role (and we will only have it when someone is dead). Well I guess that's not true for scum, they will know before the town.

Other than that, I don't see the reason to start clearing townies yet, just based on hunches. As for votes, I have already said lynching without evidence is more likely to kill a townie than a scum, and scum doesn't win (only) with night kills -they win with mislynches.

I also said what I thought about the Houses and a potential third party... Not much I can say without going into claiming.

Perhaps that's because I'm used to night starts, but I actually was tempted to votus Dumbledore just to get to the night phase, or more accurately, to Day 2. At least the cop(s) and roleblocker(s) have interesting potential targets for tonight.

Looks at Post 192 and the time between it and FS's post 194 *?Pic related?* ;)

snowflake votin' me because I made a Hufflepuff joke

Giving a free pass to both RW and Caeser

seems legit

That they do. I myself think any cop should look into either Yog or Lift, or maybe Agent or Rwarehall....what about you?

Not your number of posts. A person can pack a lot of content into five or six posts.

Rather, it's the fact you're only posting about mechanics, flavor, and non-game related issues.

Is your stance seriously that you don't intend to even attempt to play unless you have night action results to tell you what to do?

You'll just... float on by, not having opinions on anything or anybody?

I already told my opinions about agent, the joking thing in general, Lift's insistance on voting for agent, why I don't think lynching right now would be a good idea, and yes, I discussed mechanics and flavor. It's only Day 1. Not everybody plays the same way.

This too, I remember yogsloth's reaction to nearly getting lynvhed day 1 in the last game was something like "well, it's finally my turn is it?" This game he's been aggressive-defensive about being put on two votes.


Ah I just remembered when he subbed in to the battlestar galactica game as mafia. He was relentlessly charming and chasmatic and told us all what to do and then we did it and we all died.

Different to how he is in this game.


Was it Joppo asking me about my SirPrimalform vote? Yes, I mean he seems motivated to play based on his playstyle in previous mafia games where he has become known as Lurkeur Extraordinaire.

I'm not hugely confident in it, but when am I hugely confident?

I have been working on that with varying success. I think I was mostly unlurky in Pacifists at the NRA (got myself mislynched) and in the Pwen (where we managed to win in spite of my activity rather than because of it).

:D

Now that we are opening our hearts and getting cozy, it might be the time to share a little more. As concisely as possible...

First, some replies:

@ Lift: Totally agree on NOT claiming Houses nor names. Let us save that resource for when it is needed.

@ JoeSapphire: Thanks for your post on Trent-yogs.

This is believable. Two caveats: One, this does not clear any of them as town. Two, it might be possible that Trent voted yogsloth as a way of, lol-lol, getting some distance. Then, as the tally makes two votes, quickly unvoting (without lol-lol, silent drums, as you noted) for fear of allowing the thing to snowballing. Maybe suboptimal play, but who's perfect. That might be someone losing his cool; yogsloth's reaction, too.

In any case, being a first-timer, there is no way of gauging the present behaviour of anyone against his past actions in other games. Although that avoids bias, too.


*****


For what is worth (probably little) there go some opinions of a first-timer Uniwizard on policy:

What is to be expected of a good Slytherin (=scum)? The ability to think as a Gryffindor et alter (=townie); the ability to keep his cool; the ability to act as a Gryffindor et al.

So, that is why we want people to talk. To give them a chance to lose their cool and act stupidly; to say things that a non-Slyth would not say; to overact. Also, this is why Slyths might want to corner someone so that he loses his cool and appears suspicious to the rest of the crew.

Focusing on telltale signs might lead to unadvertently forget that it is too easy for a Slyth might be to just lurk in a corner. The conscientious Slytherin knows he cannot afford that. So yes, as a policy, it might be advisable to Lynch All Lurkers, within reason, taking into account that some are just in their first Uniwizard, some have arrived later and some might have business to attend.

On the other hand, bold Slyths (=scum) might want to appear very active, stay in the spotlight and possible even get to direct the conversation.

And now, girls and boys, prepare yourselves for the fabulous...


##### Slytherinometer #####

Suspicion decreases from top tier to lower tier, and from left to right.


* Trent, yogsloth, agent: a priority for anyone who has auror-like investigation skills. Cannot say the are Slyths, though, and would NOT like to vote on anyone lightly. Better to avoid friendly fire and making things easier for Slytherin.

* Caesar: he needs to get in the mud with the rest (see pic attached).

* Micro, Flocke: the effort to catch up is well apreciated, they need to keep posting.

* GR: very present, but with very light posts.

* Lift: some convincing posts lately. In the beginning he made top tier with the other three fellows.

* JoeSapphire: Almost in the lowest tier.

* RWarehall, SPF, Flocke, Pooka, joppo: reasonably Gryffindor-like by now. RWarehall made top tier in he past.

This does not mean that Trent should be marched to the gallows, nor that joppo is more Gryffindor than Albus Dumbledore. These are just impressions of someone with little knowledge of how these things go and, admittedly, might be completely wrong and will definitely keep evolving.

Needless to say: everyone started up, and has moved down. Some have moved down and then back up (yogsloth, to name one).

In any case, this means little. Flocke and RWarehall might move back up, yogs back down, agent sideways, etc. And those are just Day 1 impressions of a first timer.

Thank you! You are right, it is hilarious.

=======================================

Yo. @GR

1) Which player uses a wolf avatar?
2) Beans are good in limited quantity. So is a peanut-butter & lunch meat sandwich. Peanut Butter & Pickles are less good.
3) You overlooked the picture, which is what you were to discuss.
4) I had similar questions about RW, esp vs last game.
5) If you are really ravenclaw, are you town? gives leeway for anti-slytherin to not be town (AKA Gryffindor becuase of the "really matters" bit).

=============================================

@Joppo

1) Yes, I want to make one myself when i have time, if i have time.

Also each player's read lists are very useful, and IMO we ought to post our lists each day in case we are the NK. this is a double-edged sword--the scum & 3rd parties know who most suspects them, but the word of the confirmed-by-flip townie isn't wasted.
Of course some WIFOM applies here, as the scum might target the one who least suspects them.

2) My House is commonly known as "221 Baker Street"
3) No, and if I did I owuldn't shout it out where they might hear me and seek revenge
4) no, he was an arrogant imbecile in the books. Seriously a few pints short of a gallon.
5) I don't have mates with NK ability, but i agree that investigating Lift wouldn't be bad. or RW.
6) RNG always makes lift scum. However, the one mafia game this was relied on he was NKd very quickly. I find his dogmatic sticking to LAL to be commendable, but, like Scene in the last game, I fear he might distance town players...this being said, scene was the only one who was right, in part bc of good instincts but bad numbers.

I don't totes agree with the chart's conclusions, but the chart is a decent one. I see yog as town from my memory, but agent is either a bold WIFOM or a joke. I don't think it can be anything else.

@Carradice

I tend to agree with what you said about various font effects, except bold is useful if it is highlighting only the middle of a line or the player's name.
Also, i just finally read it as snorting hat, nor "sorting" :D

This was response to my first post as a player through post 170.

If you have time, check out my prior games....I am usually like this due to not being as analytical(due somewhat to being unable to keep track of so much info and partially due to laziness) as others.....I mainly look for obvious or near obvious signs/tells and slipups by scum and pounce on those, or post flavor/fluff or silly posts sometimes.

1. Trent....at least it looks like a wolf.
2. Now yer making me hungry.
3. Ok then...will go back and see the pic and report back later(gotta go do stuff in a bit IRL for a short bit)
4. K
5. Yes....I am guessing all 3 other houses(besides slytherin) are all town, as well.

I think that is supposed to hint at the whole thing in the books/films where much of the main stuff focuses on that house and is done by characters from that house, and not necessarily an indicator that the other main houses aren't town.

Agreed, either of them or from the Yog/Agent pair.
