For a guy who cast the first vote, Matthew Beet sure seems to be bent out of shape about having a vote cast against him

Immediately trying to fling poo poo on day 1 as scum seems like a bad tactic, if one were scum surely it would be better to delay (and wait for night killing time) than to immediately throw accusations and draw attention to oneself.

For that reason, I am not very suspicious of hambeet, but I'm becoming more and more suspicious of you.

Don't vote for the person who just voted for you that looks suss. If you're town and you don't have any reason to believe they're scum you wouldn't vote for them, would you? That doesn't help town at all. What you do is try and get their reasoning out of it, which she has sort of explained, she's poking randomly into the dirt trying to stir up an ant hill. That's why you responding that way isn't the best.

Harold Krell posted:

What? That was like ten posts ago.

You can't just dredge up posts from the past and misconstrue them into something negative about someone else. Posts lose context over time so it's easy for anyone to reach back and take something and warp it into something that can be used against someone else.

Right now, the argument isn't even about who was "freaking out". In fact, this was never an issue because no one was freaking out in the first place. You, in fact, were actually the one to bring up freak-outs in the first place, so it's kind of confusing why you're still so fixated on the concept. Perhaps you are the one who is having a freak out (this is why I brought up self-awareness earlier).

But back to the issue at hand, I seem to recall that Asphyxious hasn't replied to my last rebuttal against him. This makes it seem likely they are "dodging the evidence" by having them lurk until they lose focus from the townies.

So see? I am thinking about others. It's just that I don't randomly sink my fangs into whoever thinks I have a vendetta against them.

Posts don't lose context over time in the space of a few hours, and generally don't lose context at all over the course of a game of mafia.

Plenty of people have panicked. muyb got very defensive when people voted for him, and you melted down into a gibbering wreck. It's an excellent concept, as vanilla town players don't really care, we're just along for the ride. Also, No, YOU'RE freaking out is an abysmal argument. What are you, 6 years old?

Asphyxious did reply to your argument, with "Huh? what are you on about?" which is pretty reasonable, as your arguments haven't been very coherent.

You are bad at this game.

The accusations being made are reasonably valid. You haven't accused anyone or even presented any theories, you've only posted to defend yourself. Tell us your opinions! What if you die tonight? If your one opinion is "the person who accused me seems suspicious", yeah, you look suss as hell.

I'd also argue that "he's annoying" and "he's muddying the waters" are effectively the same argument. By being annoying, he's also managed to completely derail the last 2 pages. It's very difficult to play the game when this guy is flinging his poo poo. auspol is very bad at ignoring bad posters after all. This is muddying the waters but it's also very annoying.

I think Bif must be town because if she was scum she'd probably be doing a better job of a mock investigation and focusing on better targets. Like scumbif would probably do well to push harder on me, as I can see how my posts lend themselves to that, as is we have townbif who is trying to piece something together from very limited information.

Yeah, fair enough.

If I was scum, I'd be leading a crusade against the silent players. Statistically, they're likely town (also behaviourally. If you role scum you're always more keen to play. On the other hand, being silent can be a great scum tactic, maybe they're posting extensively in the scum doc).
Bif isn't doing that, and all her arguments seem very good to me, so maybe we should get the ball rolling. Even if it goes wrong it will at least give us some more information to work with.

Small Keating has posted like, once, but seems to be around. He posted once with a "yeah cool lets go with that". Seems like pretty bog standard "low but not too low" profile scum play.

The "lets lynch gough" thing makes lots of sense. He OMGUS'd really hard on day 1, which is suss as hell. There really isn't much of a reason to do this if you're town.

I'm concerned that bif is town after all, and that scum are capitalising on doubt to try and take out a very active scum hunter.

Mithranderp is squarely in the band of goldilocks posting that is suspicious too.

I don't think bifauxnen is necessarily trying to draw attention away from beet and Anidav, Because mentioning that slap fight at all and saying one side seemed scummy does the opposite.

I think it was more about setting up a narrative to spin the next vote after lynching me. Also if you're scum saying you think one side of a townie slap fight is backed by scum without confirming which is a good tactic, because if one of them dies and flips town it casts a lot of shade on the other person.

This is a good argument, but so far all of your arguments have been against bif, who accused you. It doesn't do a lot for your credibility when you seem obsessed with your own defence.

Anidav posted:

This is for a vote that basically happened as soon as the thread opened. Beet sounds like he's trying to summon bloodthirst, I don't like it. It's hard to be constructive without a report back from a power role and even if I tried, I'd just end up looking just as suss as Beet is with his hyperactive connect-the-dots on day TWO. This is the exact same kind of "framing myself as the saviour" play Milky Moor did on my very first game and Beet looks like he's trying to do the same thing.

I still won't vote for you Beet but you are trying SO HARD to connect dots and you merely saying you might be together with bif is a stupid fat red herring. Your true intention is to get me lynched today because you already have a plan for it tomorrow.


Which list, your hit list?

Anidav, getting data from a power role is not a given in mafia, and not necessary at all. You're just begging for a scum player to announce "I'm a detective, X is scum" and for you to merrily lynch them. Stop relying on data we have so much to go on.

If you call for playing conservative one more time then I am pretty confident you're scum. You're playing totally differently to how you played last game and your howls for "sit on your hands and wait to die" are not doing you any favours.

This is my second game with power roles, it is not scummy for wanting to try and ask if any power roles have anything of value, even if they are scum pretending. That is a learning experience for me. I apologize for being oblivious on how this might hurt town and thank you for bringing that up.

Okay I went back and read your post I missed this morning about not voting d1. You have a 1 in 5 chance this game (roughly) of hitting scum on a d1 lynch. We outnumber the scum vastly we can afford to lose town at this rate. It only takes as many days as there are scum players to win. (eg 4 scum= 4 lynches) It takes a lot, lot longer for scum to win. We've got time, we've got a big margin for error to get info. Hitting town on day 1 isn't that big of a deal as you make it out to be. Secondly, as town dwindles, you increase the percentages of hitting scum on a random lynch. Thirsdly, lynching one scum could take a quarter to a third of their team out in one go. Lynching one town accidentally is what, a 7% lost to town?

d1 no lynch is dumb.

if you weren't supposed to lynch day 1, the game would start at night 1.

So far I've deeply disagreed with everything QM has posted, but with nobody backing him up or even "just asking questions" and discussing his ideas, he seems to be acting alone, which isn't very scummy.

A very interesting post Splode, you should be more cautious and patient with your vote. You surely are too hasty and unforgiving towards a guy who's playing his first game of mafia that differs from previous. I have every right to post differently, your sample size for the games I've played is too small to try and draw suspicions from. Look elsewhere unless you wish to mark a scar on town's chances of winning.

With 9 votes to lynch, my vote isn't that dangerous, and I can always change it. This defence won't cut it, last time you did exactly the same thing: 'guys I'm new' . You were scum. Also, this is only my third game of mafia (forum based anyway). Two games is plenty of information to work with.

Hambeet and bif are scum hunting, and leading the accusations. Being scum and trying this is very risky, but it's just excellent play regardless of their alignment.

What you're not getting, Anidav, is that the best defence is to post good, reasonable theories about who is scum and why. This is obviously hard to do if you're scum, because you need to come up with a reasonable theory that is plausible yet bogus. It's much easier as scum to defend yourself by directly arguing against people pointing the finger at you, which is why we think you're inexperienced scum.

My thoughts on the bif/hambeet/muyb shitfight

If either bif or beet are scum, town is in trouble, as these two are dominating discussion already.

However, I don't think they're talented enough to have faked that argument they just had. They're either both town, or only one of them is scum. The only other remote possibility is that we have multiple scum factions, but that's unlikely, as this isn't being run by FS.

Both agree Anidav is scummy

If they're both town, and they both think Anidav is scum (with good reason), well, Anidav is a good bet for lynching.

If one of them is scum, Anidav is town, as scum wouldn't vote for other scum this early, Anidav's fate is nowhere near sealed.

muyb is suss as hell, but maybe he's just really bad at mafia?

That said, he's played surprisingly well in the first two games, so it's possible it's a ruse.

Except he was very desperate when he was scum and being bandwagon'd in his first game. frustrated town noobs tend to just give up and wait for death, much like I did in that game when we had no lynch on day 2 either.
