Lumpen posted:Rarity, I think this post seems disingenuous. Do you really believe I've done anything to "take control of the game" in my 17 posts? I haven't even advocated any lynches. Playing content game gets people to post and creates something to post about. It encourages a more active game, and that is good for Town. I would love for everyone to get super engaged and come out of the gates hard, although I know it's the weekend. It's not about pushing for lynches or anything like that. My read on you is based on your assertive tone and extensive flaunting of your mafia experience. This is a newbie heavy game and I think you're trying to get the newbies to fall in line with your way of thinking so you can take the role of town leader. Yes, content game is good and useful but it's early days so relying on it now to drive content looks like a crutch because you want to push the game in the direction you want instead of letting it develop naturally. I also don't like you praising my mafia ability, I never trust flattery. As for Kash, there's no need to get on his back over that vote cause I doubt it's a serious one. Mine however, is. ##vote Lumpen Good day!

fiery_valkyrie posted:Also, when would you use content game, except very early on? It's a major distraction from actual content any time after D1. Content game is best used in anaemic games where you're on D2 or D3 and still nobody's really doing anything and/or loads of people are lurking. That's the point where content game is a really good tool to get people posting or to focus people's reads.

I want to encourage posting and get the newbies involved. To be fair I didn't realise you were already on 5 votes, but once I did I didn't feel bad about it

Lumpen posted:Yes, to a degree. But still, the most active players in any game tend to flip Town, that is just true, unless someone shitposts their way to the top of the postcount. This is total bullshit. There are a bunch of players on SA who play exactly that way as scum. merk, Byers, diqnol, in this game there's you, me, FV and Ernie who are all capable of that and have done so in the past. I still think you're trying to drive your own narrative here.

Captain Foo posted:I don't love this post. While I also don't like rarity's pointless "nefarious purposes" thing, the bigger issue here to me is lumpen's response. Specifically, that he finds the callout of trying to control the game incredulous, and then specifically tying the number of posts in. Seriously, lumpen's obviously been taking a strongly aggressive leadership role upon himself. Doesn't need to advocate any lynches at this point in the game and to his own point, the game is young. wasn't a lot to generate real lynch cases from yet. in fact, strongly advocating for lynch on anyone that early is suspicious on its own. it is quite possible to take control of the game while not advocating any lynches early - that's what lumpen is actually doing yet he seems to be saying that taking control of the game requires advocating lynches. it doesn't, he's just driving the discussion. This is a solid and well thought post, I'm liking Foo for town.

fiery_valkyrie posted:Ok, sorry for my abrupt reply, but I didn't think talking about the content game any further was helpful. I do still want to talk further about your vote on Lumpen. He was pretty much the only vocal player in the thread, he has an abrasive play style and he already had a couple of joke votes sitting on him. Please elaborate on how he wasn't a low hanging fruit vote. Ok, you have a point. I was being needlessly abrasive, he was low hanging fruit. However, I vote for the person I think is scum, it doesn't matter how their fruit hangs. fiery_valkyrie posted:I think Lumpen probably was trying to set himself up as a town leader, and I think the why is because Lumpen likes to be in control and I see that as an aspect of his personality that is not alignment dependent. Can you explain why you think only a scum player would try to put themselves in that position? Do you really think Lumpen couldn't behave this way as town? As I've already explained, in a newbie heavy game as you can lead the newbies around in any direction you wish. What reason do you think a town Lumpen would have for trying to get that level of influence?

fiery_valkyrie posted:I totally disagree with you here. The winning strategy on SA recently would be to just lynch from the bottom of the post count up. Town would win consistently. You even overestimate me, go back and look at my post count in Port Lourde. I am absolutely not a high volume poster there -- I got called out by the mod for lurking. Port Lourde is anecdotal evidence. We all play against our meta sometimes. The point is it's something you can do, it's something many people can do and just because it's not what other people do doesn't mean it should be completely disregarded as a scum playstyle.

One thing I'd like to draw everyone's attention to. Lumpen has been saying all this time that content is great because then it can be analysed. In the last couple of pages there is a bunch of solid non-Content Game content that we can start looking at involving a number of different players. However, all Lumpen's done is defended himself and prodded the newbies for more. He's not actually doing any actual, you know, analysing.

Acebuckeye13 posted:Generally I know who I'm playing with, so I can judge them by how they talk/act when faced with specific accusations. Obviously, this isn't the case here-I don't know anyone, I don't know how anyone usually acts, and the specifics of the format make it much more difficult to judge who's a bad liar and who isn't. So forgive me if I stay out of the opening discussion, since at this point I can't honestly judge any of it. Guys, can we all take a moment to appreciate how poo poo this post is? Acebuck, the only way to learn is to try.

TMMadman posted:Seriously. Half of Mafia seems to be not being afraid to be wrong. So just step up to the plate and start swinging. Nobody is going to hold it against you for being wrong. One thing I think hampers town in way too many games is that townies end up being primarily motivated by fear rather than victory. Too many of us care more about survival than we do about making sure town wins at the end of the game and that leads us to hold back.
