why would defending a mislynch be worse optics than the naked votes?In post 339, SirCakez wrote:I don't see what you're saying.
If I'm lynched if anything it will look worse on the people defending me b/c it could seem like they are scum with inside info, no? Since the general consensus seems to be I'm scum.
idk man it's just the feeling I'm getting with this setup, I haven't played it before and with how the guessing works it seems reasonable that scum wouldn't want to be in the pile of players that people are thinking about i;e the active ones.In post 346, Gorkington wrote:like, youre sitting here saying weird absolutes like "scum wouldnt defend a mislynch" and "the scum are in the lurkers and naked voters", when it should reasonably be a possibility to you that a scumteam is likely to have a combination of playstyles in it. %age-wise, sure, its more likely that scum is entirely within lurkers right now, but i dont really think its a great argument behavior-wise. its very surface level to be thinking about the game in terms of some broad absolute "hmmm scum and town are in these piles because of these behaviors" rather than actually analyzing people's behaviors SPECIFICALLY. there are posts that these players are making that you could be picking at or using as examples for why you think theyre town and youre instead holding up weird abstract general statements as to why you think a bunch of people are town or scum.
p-edit: nah.
I could be super wrong
I'm trying to also look at specific behaviors but it's hard with half the game having next to no content

to add on to my lurker theorem: if whoever gets mislynched and players are looking at the ISOs: players like errant, spiff, gork, etc have a good amount to analyze. But CES, Molla, UT, Katsuki, Mew? Total tossup. Might as well roll a die on them. Which is exactly what scum would want.Brian Skies - "I just wanna say Cakez is an evil mod and this is an evil setup."

im telling kuribo that if he manages to derail cakez's wagon onto town he should bribe me so we can share the winIn post 290, xyzzy wrote:I just don't like votes that don't come with a clear reason behind them.
this setup also encourages town to coast and not contribute muchIn post 290, xyzzy wrote:this setup is one that encourages scum to coast and not contribute much
why are you concerned with this? all you need to do is be less scummy than the scummiest personIn post 300, Spiffeh wrote:For people to think I’m not scum

...you understand only the people who actually hit the remaining scum will win in that scenario, right? my goal isn't just for mafia to not win the game, it's for me to win it.In post 292, Ramcius wrote:i have plan for round 2 - we all roll 1d14 and accuse whoever we get, so someone very likely will hit scum-

Whoever stays, won't be easy to guess, so i'll gladly trade my let's say 20% shot at win (i'm being generous ofc) for making scum squirm in round 1, if people voice agreement to this gambit-

Of course I know DGb. But I was talking about Spiffeh being awkward.In post 345, Firebringer wrote:does anyone know if cognito knows dgb? because that post about dgb being awkward is really bugging me.
Yarr, sorry. It's been a while since I've been town in a game.In post 326, Gorkington wrote:granted he is arguably more succinct here than he was there.
tbh im a little disappointed that it seems like most of the older players arent really interested in the game.
Since it didn't take the last time:
Unvote, vote: SpiffScumchat is awesome. Yarr!

both times ive played in it one of the scum was very active and driving the gamestate
while the other was i) a lurker and ii) trying to play slightly under the radar because he hates scum [ :3 ]
that doesnt even suggest that there HAS to be an active and inactive scum here.
it just means that its not reasonable to guess scum's behavior in a broad sense because people generally play scum differently.trash-

thats pretty much true for any game of mafia you play tho.
theres almost always at least one lurker scum and one active scum.Show"You are the Joker of mafia players" - Oversoul

i don't think i would qualify what spiffeh is doing as awkward but some of his posts were weird.
but maybe that is nitpicky.Show"You are the Joker of mafia players" - Oversoul
