At this point we don't really have much to go on beyond the mass of Miller claims, so it's about as useless as most of the speculation here.

Or here's a thought, ignore it. It's day one. Trying to pick out who you think the scum are based on flavor is pointless, because they likely have fake claims.

I don't know you, don't know if you've ever played mafia, but the key to winning is getting people to post. Ask a lot of questions, get other players to say who they think is scum, and press them for reasons. Scum have to make up bullshit reasons for why people are scum, and the more they post, the more lies they tell. Check their language - are they decisive, or do they hedge when they post and say things like "could be," "might be," "maybe," etc.

Also in this game a no lynch offs a lurker, which is Cool and Good. It'll be better later on though, because right now we need information more than anything and a lurker lynch (lurker no-lynch?) is bad for giving info

This is my first time with forums Mafia. I've done the super simple in person version, and the Starcraft 2 custom map (which is really good) but I have no idea which roles from that carry over to this. That post was saying that if the Mason Recruiter claim is accurate, the person who volunteered to be converted to a Mason would be able to confirm the Mason Recruiter claim.

That is my thought exactly. Trust it to HotS to be the thing that brings me back to mafia after 10+ years (used to run mafia games on a neopets discussion forum, because I am exactly that geeky).

And a lot of scum players like to push the fact that I'm not good on Day 1 to get a cheap mislynch. So when I'm Town I often get lynched early, and I almost never get NKed because I'm a suspicion magnet.

I've had a few games (Final Fantasy mafias, to boot) where I've gotten into some pretty heated arguments with dudes. It only gets fun when people start getting angry. Of course, if they somehow stay coherent through it all, they're either town, or your mafia buddy on a clever ruse cruise taking everyone for a ride.

Okay, it is 1 day and 1 hour to deadline. I should be asleep; instead, I am staying up to finish my final portfolio for clinical microbiology. But that's just a front.

The real reason I'm still up is to yell at people and call you all idiots because nobody is posting.


Everyone needs to post a top 3 scum picks and vote for their number 1, otherwise I'm just going to act like a real douchebag and not even care.

I think at this point unless there is real traction on some kind of vote, we're not getting anything new until night falls. people've even forgotten about #millegate, apparently ok to let that play out. I don't see anything worth discussing until someone dies or something happens. Then again, that may be the birthday alcohol talking.
