Newbie 1917 - Game Over

[TTTT]

Hey newer players...
can you guys all get some avatars uploaded?
doesn't matter what it is
but it helps everyone else keep track by attaching your posts to a "face"

[TTTT]

VOTE: Guilty Lion for teasing a newbie :p hello guys

I'm gonna ask you more about this vote later
plz remind me

[Thespio]

VOTE: Thespio for having a Sabertooth mage as his avatar.

Kidding, Sabertooth's fine. UNVOTE: .
Also, you guys seem to be taking RVS unexpectedly seriously.

I know, because the game took a while to conf I expect most newbies to throw their hands up and immediately start hunting, funny that two experienced players are freaking out about RVS

I can answer all your questions... Its an RVS vote, why are you so eager to set up lynches?

bc it's the only way to kill scum

[Thespio]

Dude the games 30 seconds in and you are claiming to have figured it all out, tbh this looks like an early lynch gambit, with no IC trying to get newbies to collapse on one person for an early kill. Im 99.999999999% sure the things pinging your scumdar are newbies trying to learn to play.

bc it's the only way to kill scum

Its also a good way to kill town.

says I'm claiming to have it all figured out (I don't)
says 99.999999999% sure entrance posts so far are NAI

[TTTT]

I really want to talk to you more about your thoughts on opening game strat
but not right now

[Screamingnoodle]

Well, then.. VOTE: chennisden returning the favor.

Confirmed roles and all..

[TTTT]

since there's no IC
make sure everybody reads this...

Voting, L-x, and Hammers
L-x is a way to convey how far away a player is away from a lynch. For example, you should always announce that you are putting someone at L-1 (1 vote away from a lynch) so that someone doesn’t come along and accidentally vote for that players lynch. This also prevents Mafia-aligned players from coming along and placing the final vote to lynch (“hammer”) and claiming ignorance about doing so. You may also see L-2 and L-3 (2 votes away from a lynch and 3 votes away from a lynch, respectively).

Before you hammer a player, state your intent to hammer (usually done in bold) and ask the player to claim their role. This is done to prevent power roles from being lynched, and can sometimes get Mafia-aligned players to be caught (via counter claiming). It's best to then allow other players to react and discuss the claim before hammering.

[TTTT]

two more votes on chennis would be a lynch
let's not do that right now plz

[Thespio]

With 9 players alive it takes 5 votes to lynch.

The deadline for Day 1 is in (expired on 2019-02-24 11:15:00).

I'll open with this:

This is a good point. For now, it's not going to be easy differentiating between SaintAngelDFE and NotMySpamAccount.

Now, on to the discussion at hand:

[votes chennisden]
and I'm already out of RVS

not joking
4 of his 5 posts are newbscum

"4 of his 5 posts are newbscum"? Seriously, look at chennisden's ISO. You seriously think that what little content he has posted is scummy?

Dude the games 30 seconds in and you are claiming to have figured it all out, tbh this looks like an early lynch gambit, with no IC trying to get newbies to collapse on one person for an early kill. Im 99.999999999% sure the things pinging your scumdar are newbies trying to learn to play.

Yeah, I kind of have to agree with this.

bc it's the only way to kill scum

Its also a good way to kill town.

I do partially agree with TTTT: If we don't start pressuring people, we'll never find scum. However, I also agree with Thespio: if we're not careful and something based off of nothing, we could easily end up mislynching town. Just keep both of those points in mind.

[CsBlastoise]

… if we're not careful and something based off of nothing, we could easily end up mislynching town. Just keep both of those points in mind.

Oops, I meant to write "if we're not careful and

something based off of nothing…"

yep

[TTTT]

like I'm not saying he's 100% locked-scum here
(even though Thespio seems to want to sell that narrative)
but so far chennis is posting like how newbscum posts

[Thespio]

(even though Thespio seems to want to sell that narrative)
b

Im not trying to sell anything, you are saying he is newb scum, im teasing you because it seems silly to jump on a newbie for their first couple posts, but to solve this...

@Chen what is you background in mafia games?

[CsBlastoise]

…so far chennis is posting like how newbscum posts

If you think that, I'll have to leave that up to you. I don't know what newbscum posts tend to look like; in the one past game I started playing on this forum (see my signup post on the newbie queue for more info on what I mean by "started playing"), one of the scum was an SE, the other was replaced for inactivity and by that point there was plenty of material for his replacement to use to contribute well to the game.

These two are related, read day 2 of 1915 for explanation. And I agree with TTTT, do jump on a newbie for their first couple of posts. I should have been lynched day 1.
