[Mafia] Mewbie 1729

[Malakittens]

This is the private topic for the scum team of [M]ewbie 1729.

- You may talk only at night
- You may submit kills or any actions in this thread. However please do the following for clarity reasons: bold the kill, bold the actions in one post (so it's easier for me to find) and when doing a kill please say 'Player X is killing Player A'.
- You may not talk about this game elsewhere.
- You may not post in this thread after you are replaced or dead.
- Do not say anything you will regret as long because as there's permission from both mafia players this PT will be opened to the game afterwards.
- Do not edit or delete posts if you have permission to do so.
- Most importantly have fun and any questions please ask me.

Scum team is the following:

Mafia Goons: ploben & KeepMovingOn

[ploben]

Hello Kitten mod. Hello KMO scum buddy.

I think it might be in error but we will only have night talk as mafia, correct?

[Malakittens]

Oh ya. Sorry I didn't edit that in the PMs /:

[ploben]

No problem. I know while I was away from this site they tried mafia day talk in newbie games.

[ploben]

Future message to KeepMovingOn:

Hello again scum buddy. I hope you are ready to have some scummy fun this game. I would say the most important thing to remember is to have fun and don't be nervous.

Have you had any mafia game experience at all? It looks like on this site you have not, which is fine. Just curious as to your game experience.

Right off the bat, be active but not too active, aim for middle of the road activity. Sometimes over active players get scum read, which I think is silly, but also players who don't get involved tend to be called out and, for very good reasons, should be scum read and possibly lynched.

In terms of our interaction, treat me like the other 7 players in this game. If I do something that seems to be town motivated, say something. If I do something that seems scummy, call me out. Every post doesn't have to be about me but at the same time you shouldn't ignore me. Find that balance between putting me up on a town pedestal and dragging me completely through the mud. This will really be scrutinized down the line in late game so we don't want to make it look too obvious that we were really interacting with each other (theater) or completely ignoring each other. Also if we were at each other's throats (bussing) or buddying up to each other too much either way it's usually sniffed out down the road.

Finally, we know we're both goons so the setup could be:
-Cop alone
-Doc and Tracker
-Jailkeeper alone
-1-shot Bulletproof and Tracker

Keep this in mind when players are posting because we want to try and sniff out those power roles to potentially kill in the night but what we don't want to do is make it look like that's what we're doing. Also, if discussion turns to game setup or even when we talk about players' alignments we must remember that we need to put on a front that we don't know anything, because town doesn't know anything, because we are town, remember?

I don't want to dump too much on you so that will be all for now. Depending on how day 1 goes we can talk about strategy for day 2 during night 1. Play like you got a vanilla town PM from our mod (see this post for that role sample just in case).

Let's have some fun and hope to talk to you soon.

I take it my scum partner has not checked in yet.

Hey Atomic! Welcome to the scum team!

This thread might be locked by the time you arrive so I wanted to say hi b4 hand.

What do you think about both hard claiming mafia goon? I think it just might be crazy enough to work. Especially if people try and read my past games and meta read me.

Anyway, have fun and I'll see you in day 1 in the game and hopefully see you back here on night 1.

[Malakittens]

Locking this up~

[Malakittens]

Okay it's night. you can start talking

[ploben]

Hi Atomic. Nice day 1.

Any thoughts on who might be a PR?

[atomicsoda]

goddam post got eaten. your sig gave me guidance ploben. should we lynch beard cause every thinks he is town or is this too dangerous? also i think ppl suspect you so maybe i should make the kill. what do you think?

[atomicsoda]

got no leads on a pr atm

[ploben]

Glad I could be of assistance without even trying, lol.

Beard has a lot of content so flipping him this early might give away too much.

I actually think Oacenth is a PR and they have very little content. So when they flip maybe Shadow gets the blame. The only downside I see is people think scum was on the counter wagon, Shadow. Voters were you, algebra, oacenth. We lynched algebra and if we kill oacenth that leaves you. Now maybe is gets spun that mafia stacked on algebra's wagon and maybe then the theory of one newbie mafia and one experienced mafia starts to fade. Speaking of which, how about Dier catching that from your post (221, lol. Damn him.

Thoughts on an Oacenth night kill?

I think you doing the kill will be fine.

[ploben]

I read back on some past games of shadow. Our game together he was a weak PR, bodygaurd, but he acted the same way he's acting now in this game. When he has been VT he's a little more talkative. Maybe another possibility for PR.

[atomicsoda]

yeah i don't know how he picked that out, had reasoned that out by pretending to be newbie town. that seems to be the easiest way for me to avoid scrutiny atm. am wondering if we should push shadow for a lynch tomorrow?

why do you think oacenth is pr? if she is a cop she will investigate shadow prolly and then we will be stuck with him confirmed town.

[atomicsoda]

what if we lynch shadow then. that would confuse things a bit i reckon

[atomicsoda]

shadow is the most likely cop target so it may be a good idea to kill him actually.

[ploben]

Oacenth just seemed to want to play everything perfect. Could just be newb VT. Plus I was thinking it would be a low info kill. But shadow was pretty much on algebra all day.

If shadow is an investigative target we could try and push his lynch tomorrow and see if anyone changes their mind on him. That could tip us off if he have an investigative role.

[ploben]

I would guess the CR/loopdan slot probably isn't a PR.

[atomicsoda]

i hear you on the low info kill, also reckon there is a good chance someone else will push shadow tho i can if no one else does cause i have already flagged suspicions.

the only concern is that he makes it to lylo cause i reckon he would pick either of us honestly.

just re reading thread could soft push dier at some point he said at 260 that he'd come back and post more but only posted once after that 292.

[atomicsoda]

yep otherwise they prolly stuck around i guess

[ploben]

Oh yeah I noted Dier. I think he's played an absent IC and we could definitely push on him. Outside of his awesome read on you, which no one else knows is true, he's just spit a ton of theory.

[ploben]

What do you think of Beard's 18? It looks so out of place. He mentions "house" for work? Is he trying to signal doc here? Or am I seeing things?

[ploben]

At least algebra spewed shadow and loopdan scum and then fliped town so that might work to our advantage. I think town will come out firing against each other really quickly in D2. We might not have to push anything too hard but we don't want to lurk either.

[atomicsoda]

yeah he has mostly just reworded arguments or responded, other than his very helpful advice.

i am ok w oacenth kill tho i would also go shadow. be great to hit beard, why do you think this would be suss/give away too much?

e: checking 18
