Hello, I am your IC. I am here to help you learn to play the wonderful game of mafia!
Ask me any question you want to, about abbreviations, voting, lynching, anything.
I will not lie about theory, regardless of my own alignment.

An L-1 wagon isn't bad, no. It's actually good, it gives us something to analyse. For instance, I would say that jack and jin are not likely scumbuddies based on this. The more wagons we can analyse, the more we can say about certain players. So push for who you think is acting out of the ordinary, or someone who doesn't want to be noticed at all. Do you see such players, fykus?
Undoing my vote on TS for now, just because some coherent arguments for some other people here are starting to appear. I'll withhold my vote for now.
Also as a question to the experienced players here - generally when does a lynch end up being decided? Do people tend to jump on the bandwagon right at the end of the day or can people just stacks on someone half way through and cut the day short?
It usually ends up being around end of day, but can be earlier.
What does the appearance of coherent arguments for other players have to do with voting me? Why don't you make your own coherent arguments?

I want the newbies to form reads first. Throwing out my very uncertain reads with my status as IC would most likely lead to some people blindly following me and scum being able to hide in those people. I want to see actual thought processes that might improve my reads.

Ding ding dong, brilliant idea.
Nope. I studied the raw data used for those statistics and they are BS. So unless you guys have a case we are not.
We talk about this post-game. I have pretty good knowledge of statistics and I'm very much disagreeing with you here.

In post 131, MooginSoosy wrote:Formerfish I think it's odd that you've aligned yourself serveral times now as town. I feel like it's suspicious to say that you're town especially when no one else has said it so openly. Do you feel like you need to make that clarification?
Why exactly is it scummy to call yourself town? Why would it be less scummy if others did it as well?
In post 141, JackChaos wrote:Okay... form reads. Moogin seems a newbie like me so mostly harmless ALTHOUGH THAT COULD be a total bluff and one of us could murder your granny with a hammer.
Formerfish seems really aggressive but I'm guessing he's just a grizzled veteran of forums mafia. He's probably a townie.
Fykus is super friendly so I'm going to have to assume he's a total serial killer irl maybe in game as well. Tiershift is a scholar and a gentleman. Nydushermain I don't know what to think. I rather like the pink checkered avatar but that's about all I know of them. Pep seems like he wants a fair game so probably a mafia member. Toto is quiet.
Okay, so who is most likely mafia? Put your vote where your mouth is.
In post 155, Fykus wrote:Ah, that makes sense. I can see why you're making the assumption about me then. Honestly though, i still think TS might be scum with the way hes constantly hammering questions at me. Unless ofcourse hes just trying to get it into my muscle memory to explain myself better when making accusations (thus making me a better player someday or something).
Who knows~
Why would I hammer questions as you as scum? Why would I be more likely to do it as scum than as town?

In post 184, JackChaos wrote:It seems to me like this game is built on paranoia and paranoia leads to bad judgement. We'd be better on random lynching first round and seeing how everyone reacts after.
That's just my two cents in gamerlogic.
This is not how it works. This might be true for the day 1 lynch. But afterwards we will have information to work with, who joined what wagon, etc. We can afterwards deduce who is scum. That is why we all put forth arguments for who we think is scum. Because scum also have to put forth these arguments then, and they might slip up.
Now, i want you to also share your thoughts on who you think is scum.
In post 178, TierShift wrote:Toto what's up with that complacent tone? Why are you acting like this?
Toto, I'll put this here too since I don't remember seeing a reply to it. Guess that means that Tier is my partner, right? Cause they aren't pressuring you to answer that question.
I don't know what a complacent tone is
In our previous game you seemed like you wanted to work with everyone. In this game, you act like you know it all without interacting a whole lot.

In post 199, Toto wrote:While Fish attacks Jin for not voting in RVS he doesn't say anything about Fykus, who is also not voting RVS. At the same time he questions me for RVS voting Moogin instead of any of pre-existing wagons. Why ask that question if he feels RVS voting is what people should be doing? He is not being consistent in his line of questioning and thoughts.
Now he asks me how accurate my day 1 reads are. Why would you ask that question as TOWN? IT MAKES NO SENSE. Seriously, if we don't lynch this guy after asking this question I don't know what else to tell you.
I'm wondering if this is a serious case or just trying to probe

Also not true. He can claim in LyLo, like every other power role. We don't know what kind of PR he has and we want scum to keep guessing. A counterclaim on day 3 is better than a counterclaim on day 1 or 2 because then the actual town PR has time to put in some work. If we get a counterclaim today this PR just dies. Fish already had committed to a PR claim so there is no way for him to back out.

Correct. However if there is no counterclaim we just gave scum part of their game plan. And the counterclaim doesn't run away. It's there tomorrow, or the day after.
Like why is fykus a better lynch than someone who is role fishing, even after constant warnings from the IC and other people explaining to him why what he is doing is bad? Why are you trying to work with someone who you think is potential scum as you mentioned in prior posts?
I see you mentioning that I distrust toto but I'm not particularly scumreading him. I just think he's being stupid. That's why I'm diverting attention away. Because I think the attack is stupid.

If you were townreading him, why did you say things like "I wonder if this is just dumb attack or role fishing" (paraphrased to memory), or asking him why he was playing complacent which is, in your words, different from his previous game where he was town?
His attack made no sense to me. I didn't like it, but I don't feel it makes him scum. A different tone also doesn't make him scum. Tones change over games. Mine does too. I was just wondering why it was changing.

It's town I think.
Rolefishing so blatantly is something scum don't do because it makes them a likely lynch target, especially in a newbie game. Town are more indifferent towards getting lynched and will just do whatever they THINK is the correct play.

Is there anything I can clear up or any questions I can answer that will help?
You can start by actually hunting scum if you'd like?

What. You went on moogin in an earlier post, then took pressure off of moogin to get the toto slot out of hot water to vote fykus? Then you're saying to go back on moogin? You're just voting randomly between the two... explain

Some people do take notes. Do whatever you like.
I don't think you're scummy for observing. Everyone observes. The fact is that I don't get the feeling that you genuinely scumread the people that you are pushing. If you think someone is scum, you attack them. You want them to stay in the spotlight. You analyse their every move. If you don't scumread anyone, you should feel bad and make sure that you are. You are town, after all. You want to figure out the game.
That town thought process is something that you completely lack.

I think fykus is scummy for just following the toto wagon without adding anything to the discussion. He's not really questioning anyone or trying to figure out the game. It might be lack of commitment to the game though instead of being scum.
Now I voted moogin bc RC pointed stuff out about her and I decided to reread her leading to my reasoning laid out in my previous post.

In post 462, nydushermain wrote:What made you vote initially on moogin and then ask toto if he wanted to lynch fykus and then swap to fykus? Did you forget that moogin was a scumread?
Moogin was not that much of a scumread. I just wanted to divert the attention away from the fruitless FF-toto battle to some of the newbies that were failing to participate.
Haha don't worry I've grilled players who were unable to post for medical reasons before. I'm still exactly as likely scum as before the incident. (this is assuming you made a post grilling me cos I haven't actually read)
After a few hours of sleep I feel a lot better so I'm positive I can stay in the game

Sure, but if you don't actually expect anyone in this game to realise that, it's a bit silly to call yourself obvtown, isn't it?

In post 619, -Grey- wrote:Another scumtell for Jack: He's dead certain that he caught both scum on d1.
There's zero doubt in his posts. He's invested in selling his reads as being above reproach.
This is much more likely to come from newbscum with an agenda to push, because they naturally don't have any doubts. Newbtown is full of doubt and uncertainty.
