I think Mafia is a good game

I think there's a lot of people and I have voting paralysis because joke votes gently caress up my scumdar

You've just got to come at the game from the point of view of motivations. Town players earnestly post and scum hunt. Scum players just post filler and newer scum players in particular get worried about how their joke posts will be viewed, leading to awkwardness. Town players feel no such pressure to avoid votes!

Somber said scum never aggressively scumhunt (again, totally not true) and I tunnelled on him for that and was way wrong

I don't want to read that thread. My opinion is that scum do aggressively "scum hunt" but it is fake and non-genuine so that's what you search for. Motivation not content.

You guys should see Milky Moor in auspol games, he's really great at scum hunting
right until the game ends and he wins as scum by throwing people under the bus.

The relationship between Pinterest and Bowmore here is strange, Pinterest has been overly defensive and Bowmore has been overly aggressive. Specifically it seems odd that Pinterest has cared as much as he has so far when Bowmore's vote has zero traction. I don't know if Bowmore's pressure is lazy, although I understand the characterization. Honestly I'm fairly impressed with bowmore's effort so far, considering the weekend start. I am not interested in voting either of them and would appreciate it if they went somewhere else with their votes.

What a weird, concern-trolling fake content post!

He characterizes both bowmore and I, and specifically our interaction, as "weird", but doesn't comment on our alignment at all. The conclusion you would expect to draw from thinking our interaction is weird might be that we're scum buddies faking an interaction, but Somber doesn't go there, and in fact wants neither of us to receive votes.

He says he's impressed with bowmore's effort?? Which has been to pop into the thread occasionally and say "yep, Pmom is still scum"

Macca and you: An explanation of the Macca mechanic

Macca is the currency of the demonic world, and has many uses! At various points in the thread, vendors or demons may appear, and you can use your macca to either purchase their wares or recruit them, respectively. Each player gains 5,000 Macca per night, so save and spend wisely! Vendors will offer a variety of wares at set prices, and will leave once all items have been purchased. Demons may approach the players in two different ways: they can auction themselves off, or they can ask the players for offers. In the case of a demon auction, it is possible to bid more Macca than you currently possess, but doing so is very risky, as the demon may become very cross with you if you are unable to pay up! When offers are taken, it's possible to offer items a player possesses in addition to Macca, and the demon will accept the most valuable offer determined by the amount of Macca offered + the value of the item offered. If the player offers an item, they also LOSE that item as it is taken by the demon as payment.

It IS possible to gift your Macca to another player, however doing so is a night action and therefore CANNOT be done at the same time as using any demons, items, or powers you may possess that also function as night actions.

Hey, is it possible to break the game here~

Set up a chain where every player needs to spend his night action giving a token amount of macca to the next player alphabetically. If there's a NK, we'll have a small list of suspects (the person preceding the NK target alphabetically + anyone who didn't give their macca forward.) Or, scum just gives up on using their NK. win/win, right?

I usually hate how decals look on handhelds but that looks really drat good. If I still had my small 3DS I might've considered putting that on it.

I think that saying I'm not interested in voting either of you is a pretty clear statement on your alignment. It's really not concern trolling, both of you were wasting your effort on a case that no one else cared about.

And yeah, normally I would expect bowmore to post maybe twice just around deadline day one.

two town voting each other is counterproductive to lynching scum
