Newbie 1916: Epic Music [Game Over!]

[good]

hi im very good will catch up in due time

[good]

1. What is your experience at Mafia
2. How do you play as town
3. How do you play as scum
4. What do you think gives away a player as scum or town

1. town on salem and their forums
2. not exactly well - i tend to be pretty aggresive and for that get suspicion on me. i either die really early or live till the very end.
3. very carefully plan my words, use longer sentences to confuse town too. i also love to kill my teammates
4. their tone and motive

i'm probably not going to do reads, as im not very good at them. if i find a scum, i'll tell you

[good]

on mobile, but I’d like to get some others’ impressions of Nips. I don’t understand his “everyone is playing to their meta” response to my pointing out that he was playing to his self-described scum meta. ??? I don’t think that’s a very solid tell in itself, but his weird shrugging off and then asking a softball question towards Lich after I had called him out for it is just so scummy to me. plus, he’s had plenty of time to “go through the thread,” it’s 7 pages without many walls. His ISO is pretty much entirely him avoiding pressure and giving nothing back in return.

i think nips is lazy town
his meta is to start wagons, and he is doing the exact opposite. unless im missing something i think you are overreacting

[good]

If I die today, then I probably shouldn't play Mafia ever again.

Nooo! That is distinctly NOT the point of newbie games. They are to learn how to play generally, and learn some skills to playing well. Regardless of your alignment, if you are today's lynch you can learn why people suspected you and learn how to avoid it (again, regardless of alignment). Scum-catches and mislynches all happen, the point is to make sure you are having fun and trying to win, not necessarily survive til the end game.

he's just trying to appeal to emotion, you are falling for his bait.

[good]

Fourth, and the most compelling point for scum!good, is Birdy's 78. I saw this as a potential partnership play, of accelerating the wagon that was tied with Lich and hopefully redirecting attention to another slot.

there is only one point and it's not very compelling
voting a low acitivity slot is bad as activity is NAI but not scum

also, what do you think of roomy trying to create a wagon on nips?

[good]

@Clem - Can you give a CatStar read?

@Good - re240: 1. That was a real-time reaction. It felt like the momentum in the live gamestate was in the air between lich and catstar, and birdy was trying to push it one way without real substance. It probably wouldnt stand out on a cold-read, but when made (as one of very few substantive posts) it felt awkward and forced. 2, re Roomy, see my mind-meld comment. Flippy was my unstated scumread at that time.

bullshit. votes on catstar were RvS votes while lich was being scumread

[good]

Yes, but the wagons were tied, and Birdy offered a defense of one while pushing the other. It simply felt like a possible partner play at the time.

To be clear, associational data is indeed weak pre-flip - that is part of why I didnt vote or make a case on your slot. But I am intrigued that you jumped right onto the associational point while ignoring all the other aspects of the case on Lich. Worried he might flip red?

no i agree on the lich case
i just want my slot cleared

[good]

i'm probably not going to do reads, as im not very good at them. if i find a scum, i'll tell you

i think nips is lazy town
his meta is to start wagons, and he is doing the exact opposite.

OK, so you gave one read. Right now you've got an inherited vote. Who would YOU vote, and why?

im talking about the lists people make where there is just a bunch of names in brackets
i would lynch lich or roomy

[good]

how do i vote tag something

[good]

how do i vote tag something

Dont vote Lich til he has a chance to claim.

Why Roomy?

voting is done by:

Code: Select all

[vote]NAME OF VOTE[/vote]

wan't planning to dont worry
i'll make a case on roomy tommorow since i'm already going to sleep and no access to my laptop
i'm fine with the current lynch anyway

@lich i saw what you did there

[good]

im the cop, u r a person 2 is a member of the mafia.
boom bang

[good]

now let's discuss who their team mate could be

[good]

VOTE: u r a person 2

[good]

nope im cop

[good]

and with that i'm going to sleep

[good]

why would i invest roomy? i already scumread him. from where i come from, it is considered the meta for ti's to check their nullreads, since it is more efficent.
outing my check so early is my bad, i was simply excited

[good]

also, urap seems like a solid player from the conversations that happened here, so getting him confirmed/outed as maf sounded like a good thing.

[good]

i think the last scum might just be flippy by how he is lurking. night kill also suggests it might be him

tracker/neopolitan be on him
doc on me

[good]

looks like mafia wanted to hit doc/neopolitan instead of me

trying to think of a plan that would lock us the win atm

[good]

if anyone claims the other PR go ahead

[good]

if anyone claims the other PR go ahead

dont say which PR though
keep em guessing

[good]

i invested clemency, he flipped green.

[good]

scum should just give up tbh

[good]

VOTE: flippynips
just vote him, if he flips doc we kill cat, if he flips cit we kill teacher. this game is locked

[good]

he wouldn't be so frozen if he was town in the first place

[good]

or unless good is really lucky scum
o:

if i am flippy flips pr so dont worry

[good]

gg

id have to say the setup is pretty townsided
