[KittyMo]

All roles have been sent out in order of the player list. Let me know if you have any questions about the game. Please /confirm that you have read and understood your role and the rules by replying to the PM. Make sure the reply contains your role name so I know that you read it!

Please also consider using the Bookmark thread tool at the bottom of the page so that you can easily access this thread.

I can steal replacements from the queue 72 hours after role PMs were sent (noon on the 4th PST), but ideally we will leave the confirmation stage before that.

[KittyMo]

lis replaces PrimeFire and GreenNope replaces TownreadPlz. I just sent their Role PMs so neither have confirmed.

I'm going to give 24 hours for people to figure out the site is back up and give them an initial opportunity to confirm, and then Day 1 will open. Once one of them confirms or 24 hours after this post, we'll start.

[KittyMo]

With 8 players confirmed, let us begin.

[Thor665]

tl:dr - this entire commentary block is all about introducing myself as the IC, blathering about my duties, and offering a basic idea of some of the strategy of the RVS. If this interests you, please read on (especially if this is your first time playing here) if not, feel free to skip.

Spoiler: IC Intro

===========================================================================================

Greetings,

I am Thor665 and I am the Inexperienced Challenged (IC) player of this group. What this means is first and foremost - I am here to play this game with you in a way that will show you what it is like to play on Mafiascum.net. I am here to win and should be treated as such.

My goals and the rules governing my actions are covered in this handy article: Being a good IC
That article is part of our amazing MafiaWiki System. I *highly* recommend this system as a good way to get your feet wet and to find out what a lot of the common abbreviations mean. There is a lot of play strategy discussed in there too. A lot of players consider that advice almost all outdated now. I don't recommend trying to run verbatim with anything there, but a lot of the basic advice is very good to at least be aware of as it can help you avoid blatant pitfalls as you become familiar with the game play here.

Now, as an IC I am here as a resource for you to ask questions of concerning game theory. I WILL NOT lie about game theory answers and will answer them to the best of my ability. I will also offer you the following quick pieces of advice;

1. Don't self vote. (there are really no points during a Newbie setup where this is a good idea, please avoid it however logical you may think it is)
2. This site frowns on lying if you are a vanilla town role. I strongly advise against lying if you have this role as usually it will only hurt town in the end.
3. It's a game - have fun.

We are now starting what is known as the RVS (random voting stage). We are in a low information period because scum already know who they are, and even have a rough idea of what power roles may or may not be in the game. It is now town's job to root them out. Because the start of the game leaves us with no information to start with generally the way to start is to begin voting and questioning other people to see if you can catch them doing something scummy (scummy actions being acts that a scum player is more likely to do then a town player).

Vote: PkmSilver

[PkmSilver]

LMAO, but Silver had better exclusive pokemons! Vulpix, Skarmory,Donphan, Delibird SMH

[GreenNope]

...Wooper (WHO CAN USE ICE PUNCH, WHILE HAVING NO ARMS!)

[Dewy]

Reverse the words GreenNope, you get NopeGreen.
Nope->Not
Green->Town
Not Town=Scum

VOTE: GreenNope

[Dewy]

@LQ @Green @Silver

No RVS?

[GreenNope]

@LQ @Green @Silver

No RVS?

Meh. I honestly think it's pointless. In RVS, there is seldom more than one vote (but we do have two votes on pkmsilver ), which ruins the pressure. And the votes don't really have any motivation, and commonly don't have a desire to lynch their target.

[Dewy]

there is seldom more than one vote (but we do have two votes on pkmsilver )

@Green

Thoughts on the Silver wagon?

Honestly, I understand why someone would vote for them (RVS), but two is a tad bit suspicious, though it may be a coincidence.

I will clarify for you that it is not a coincidence at all.
Does that affect anything for you?
If so - what?
If not - why not?

I think may just as well be the work of mafia, when they vote for someone who hasn't even had much time to post. After all, they do know who is not in mafia.

[Thor665]

So if you think my actions may well be the work of Mafia - why are you not voting me? Would I not then be the most likely Mafia you see at the moment?

You have a point there!

[Thor665]

So why did I need to point out that you should be voting your top scum read to you?

I don't really like to vote early, I like to analyze the game more.

[Thor665]

So why did you vote early then?

So why did you vote early then?

You pointed it out, is it not obvious?
