All of his posts are trying hard to sound quirky and humorous. In previous games he never drew much attention to himself, and tended to just lurk in the background. Shifts in behavior like this are often indicative of amateur scum.

Psychoanalysis is all you have to go on during the first day. Later in the game is when we can make more substantive observations, but for now what's important is generating discussion.

Totally agree about the discussion. Day 1 is the hardest day because there’s no real info to go on and generating discussion is key to getting info. This post puts you in my will not vote category.

Image in the Mirror

There is an old mirror in this room. Your frightened reflection moves on its own. You realise it is you from another time. Your reflection writes on the mirror:

THIS WILL HELP

Then it hands you an item through the mirror.

How kong would you have us wait before we begin scumhunting?


I'm not sure, did you read the last game? I think this is pretty similar to his beginning then. I might be wrong. I was reading a post this morning in this game, and I was like "who's post am I reading again?" and I looked up to chek, and then I was like "oh yeah obvs it's microfish"
Which is my anecdotal evidence to suggest microfish is similar to how he usually is...

Which past games did you read?

mot'h

I keep forgetting you're playing, seeing your posts and going "What a weird thing for the mod to write...".

Sorry, bad grammer. That should be "Who is post I AM reading?" Apologies to those who couldn't understand my earlier nonsense.


NO U!

I'm just waiting for Lift to give Micro his item card.

I didn't necessarily agree with the method (particularly when you used it, with only scarce data to go by), but the intention behind your analysis is sound, and if anything it got the game to actually kick off.

That said, I believe Microfish is acting just the same as his usual self, which is where the timing part comes in: in this early stage of the game, it's mostly just fluff but nothing damning, or clearing.

Oh I understand - it's too early to get a good read on microfish, not 'it's too early to Get Serious.'

Ok. I wondered what was going on.

#57, #59, and parts of #64.

I'm not 100% confident about lynching him , but I felt the need to move the game along.

Guys, will play this one without charts, mainly because of RL. But would like to run the simulator. So, about the party composition:

1) What do you make of the probable numbers for town, scum, likability of third parties.

2)Refrain from commenting on powers and private messages, please. It helps scum more than it helps Town.

Sensible comment from Pooka on Zazak’s new vote.

Read mafia #64. Starting with page 1.

Personally enjoying that kind of stuff. We need more of that. Meaning, everything that is fun to read. This includes RP, for anyone who feels like that.

Anyway,

Unvote Zazak

At least he is writing and he realized that the vote on him had more to do with the alphabet than anything else.

Love this post.....I am half torn on the vote, though.

On the one hand, voting me in ANY game is par for the course and to be expected....but on the other: I said hunt for scum, not help scum hunt us. ;)
====================================================

I say we allow flavored votes and regular "plain ol' vanilla" votes....whichever floats each player's boat, so to speak.
====================================================

Sounds good
====================================================

As for me:

Not sick(and no one at home is), but a bit of other sad news in that one of my feline friends(pet cats) is likely on her last legs.......so gonna try gaming and posting in between keeping her comfortable until she passes(could be any time within the next 5-7 days, I am guessing). :(

Combine that with the state wide lockdown, I am drinking a bit off and on(and checking the forums and playing games) to keep my spirits up

that's reassuring.
How confident are you about it?



Sorry about that man, that sucks. All my love

I'd guess 3 mafia-10 town, or 3 mafia-9 town-1 neutral. 4 mafias would be Not Normal. We've been given no guarantees of normality, however.

Third parties are always likeable, and often that likeability hangs around the player for at least a game AFTER they were third party! It's just one of those idiosyncrasies of the gog forums. ;)

I get the impression lifthrasil is a mod who likes the appeal of the third party, so I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a neutral, or a third-party scum...

Best maths ever.
