NY 215: HMS Erebus - Game Over!

[Gamma Emerald]

Ugh why am I still awake

VOTE: Davesaz

I always vote him eventually so I may as well do it now.

*thinking*
This gut pings me from Umlaut

[Gamma Emerald]

1. What is your experience at Mafia?
2.What do you think is the optimal town strategy?
3.What do you think is the optimal scum strategy?
4. What are good ways to scumhunt?
5. What are bad ways to scumhunt?

1. Too many games too count.
2. think critically, don't let bias get in your way
3. manipulate whatever noise you can to block out proper signals.
4-5. IDK, I think there's infinite ways so I can't really give a good answer.

5. What are bad ways to scumhunt?

5.

looking for bad logic

instead of bad motivations.

what do ya think if IOs vote on ya? Is it a joke or serious?

What is the logic behind it?

I think I found it

Good eye
VOTE: tictac

[Gamma Emerald]

If a player were to say they think meta is not a good scumhunting tool in my survey, then voted someone later on for the same reason, I would scumread them due to contradicting their earlier stated opinions. Also, people's reasons for answering questions and reactions to the posed survey can be AI as well. In one of my previous games, a scum player was the first to offer answers. In my experience, scum like doing things to gain towncred, such as being quick to answer my questions. In addition, a town player answering would help me understand their positions and general playstyle while also offering content to talk about. Overall, I find it is usually pretty good to have a RQS if you can get at least four responses from the other players.

just a word that I am a sucker for RQS, it's a dreadfully under-rated idea, I think in the right hands it can be a powerful weapon. I have a friend from another site who is good at using RQS, he doesn't play much anymore though.

Answering questions certainly is not going to get your town cred unless it's some question about a night action or something.
Also why not just wait a bit more for people to respond to it before saying that it's just to see who answered the questions as you think scum are likely to answer the question?
4 people hadn't even posted since before you made this post.

Yeah we played together gamma, but I ended up replacing out. At least in the only one I remember us playing together. I did only play like 3 or 4 games though.

let's just get rid of that bad apple

VOTE: Completly Trustworthy

choo choo policy lunch time!

pass
just deathe tunneled a townie last game for posting like that

[Malakittens]

Catching up. Maybe it will take my focus off of hating apple products so fucking much rn

[Malakittens]

this town isn't big enough for the three of us, mala
that's right you and Lapsa are going to have to fight to the DEATH

BRING IT ON.

can't wait

Love this~

Here are some questions I like to ask people at the start of a game:
1. What is your experience at Mafia?
2.What do you think is the optimal town strategy?
3.What do you think is the optimal scum strategy?
4. What are good ways to scumhunt?
5. What are bad ways to scumhunt?

Haven't played but one game recently. So answering this would be useless atm.

Yes, nos, look at Newbie 1882. Its a completed game where I behaved similarly.

Thing pings the crap out of me. I'll look over mafia games on site after this and I don't kill IpHones in the process.

vote:completelytrustworthy

dont want to read his posts

Your name reminds me of my ex. Also this is a lazy as fuck vote and reason.

It's honestly not even really worth answering. I haven't exactly played Mafia in about a year.
I also just don't think it's a good idea to tell scum the optimal plays for them to do just in case they are clueless.
As for scum hunting you just need to rely on analysis of posts and have good pattern recognition, also push everything you see no matter how small it may be.

Agree with this from IO.

I'm getting town vibes from IO so far.

Read the above response to Popo. The same applies to you.

[Malakittens]

Oh.

VOTE: Umulat

This is a good place to start. Your intro post reminds me how you started our last micro.

You have exs named popopopo and lapsa?

[Malakittens]

My ex was nicknamed Popo due to his last name. Lapsa's comment was due to the vote.

[Gamma Emerald]

Yeah we played together gamma, but I ended up replacing out. At least in the only one I remember us playing together. I did only play like 3 or 4 games though.

Yeah the only one was light_ganski's fire and ice

[popopopopopopo]

i am very down for a policy lynch on this guy im not reading those posts

[Gamma Emerald]

Oh.

VOTE: Umulat

Yeah I'm gonna trust my gut
still voting tictac for now though

[Gamma Emerald]

How are his posts hard to read? Just because they're written well? I don't see how that makes a post hard to read.

[Garmr]

Might as well kill some time before I leave for the airport.

Don't think CT's post 36 is scummy, it's just a ct thing to do at the start (he did it in his newbie game as town). From a quick read of his newbie game that he finished, he seems as awkward there as he does here so far Especially when you compare the awkwardness.

Also, xRECKONERx, why did you vote for Zito with no stated reason? Was it random or not?

From a rvs vote.

Hello everyone, this looks like it will be a very good flavor game. I always prefer those over regular games.
VOTE: Nosferatu
Also, Umlaut, why do you always vote for Davesaz as you said in 21?

I will give ct a null town read. Because it's similar to that game so far.

Good gut impressions from IO. Through I think she I don't think her points on ct hold up. Still broke rvs.

Lapsa is hard to read. Don't mind lynching this slot due to convenience for me.

Nothing really scummy that I would consider lynching through and shifting my vote off my rvs.

P:edit
Lol

Oh there's also mini 1854
I think I replaced out of one and you replaced out of the other, lol

[davesaz]

@garmr is one newbie adequate for meta?

[davesaz]

Oh.

VOTE: Umulat

What’s your tictac read based on? It looked to me like you did a me too to a post that didn’t have a good reason.

[davesaz]

i am very down for a policy lynch on this guy im not reading those posts

Kinda think it’s too early to play the policy card. Do you have anything more substantial to offer?

[davesaz]

Is it pc to hate apple?
Pun intended

[davesaz]

this'll be a fun game to carry

Are you going to dismount your high horse and play soon?

[popopopopopopo]

nope

[Malakittens]

So as of right now:

Would be okay with lynching Popo, Umulat (gut thing right now more than anything).
