1.)What's your timezone?

Pacific; GMT-8

2.)You are scum, explain how will you play the day off.

Probably lay low and jump on some wagons.

3.)You are town, how will you find scum in RVS?

Seems hard to do in the early stages, take notes on anything peculiar for now.

4.)Have you played games before?

Umm you mean mafia games? Just once on another forum.

5.)You are given a power to have a day kill, when will you use it and how will you use it?

No idea honestly, would depend on my alignment.

[Spadille]

Day kill as town

[BS2000]

I wouldn't want to use it unless the majority is against the player anyway, same as a daylynch.
Maybe it would be more practical in different rules than this game.

[racerman13]

Unvote

. No point voting someone V/LA, I guess.

[racerman13]

1.)What's your timezone? Eastern Standard Time
2.)You are scum, explain how will you play the day off. Lurk in the shadows.
3.)You are town, how will you find scum in RVS? They overreact to a vote on them and use OMGUS, or they put someone in L-1.
4.)Have you played games before? I have played on a mafia bot (basically a live mafia game).
5.)You are given a power to have a day kill, when will you use it and how will you use it? If I am town, and scum reveals themselves, I use a day kill. If I am mafia, and town suspects another townie, I day kill that townsperson.

1) Pacific. California... knows how to parrrrteh.
2) Begrudgingly. I'm always super paranoid that the IC is scum and would hate playing that.
3) Sniff.
4) Heh.
5) I'd use it like pops did in that game we just played. Like a boss.

Why did you ask 2 & 3? Very WIFOM of you, sir.

LOL isn't that the reason you voted them in the first place? Why the sudden change of heart?

3.)You are town, how will you find scum in RVS? They overreact to a vote on them and use OMGUS, or they put someone in L-1.

Does this only apply to the RVS portion of the game?

[IC HAT]This seems like a post coming from someone who is worried about what the majority thinks of them. Why not take a risk if you think the person is scum and others aren't seeing your point of view? Sometimes you'll hit this wall because you won't properly be able to express your opinion or the person will just have a lot of people convinced that they're town due to their impeccable posts... or something. Follow? Don't be afraid of what people think of you; at the same time, don't be too forward. It's a shaky wagon, I know, but you'll get the hang of it with experience.[/IC HAT]

I request that nobody place Katsuki at L-1; it's only page 2 and we need

waaaay

more discussion. We also don't want a hasty scum to come in with the quick-hammer.

[Spadille]

Why did you ask 2 & 3? Very WIFOM of you, sir.

Because newbie games are different and I want people to know what they are looking for and how will they act. And also for future references.

[SE HAT(or something)]It's actually a win for us if a hasty scum comes in and quick-hammers. This way, we know who to lynch in D-2 and associate his slot with other players to make a connection. We might lose 3 in the process but it's still a win for us to pin scum. Remember that we all win if the scum is eliminated.[/SE HAT]

[chkflip]

Very true, but I'd prefer finding scum via scum-hunting and not poor play. It's the IC in me that wants them to play their best.

Do you have any reads yet, Spad?

[Spadille]

I don't give reads.

[chkflip]

I asked if you had any, not to give me some.

Why do you feel playing that way is productive?

[Spadille]

I don't have any reads yet. The posts are either unvotes, RVS's and IC content. Their answers to my questions will just be in play if the game steps in to a next level.

Oh, you mean one-liners? I got it from a guy I played last game (lol).
Or you mean not giving reads? It will give the scum the idea who the most townie player is and will give an idea that the scum is either safe from me or I'm suspicious of them.

Do you think there's a problem with not giving reads?

[sinani206]

2.)You are scum, explain how will you play the day off.
3.)You are town, how will you find scum in RVS?

5.)You are given a power to have a day kill, when will you use it and how will you use it?

GMT -7 (P

D

T)
Kill people
Look for people that kill people
Yes
I would kill someone scummy on later days.

[Spadille]

sinani, you can't kill people while in a day. And I want you to be more specific. How will you look for someone that kill people?

[easjo682]

1.)What's your timezone?
GMT+12

2.)You are scum, explain how will you play the day off.
The same way I play when I play town

3.)You are town, how will you find scum in RVS?
You can't find scum in RVS

4.)Have you played games before?
Yes

5.)You are given a power to have a day kill, when will you use it and how will you use it?
If town, when I find someone who I find scummy, and if a few other people agree that player is looking mighty scummy
If scum straight away in RVS.

Spadille, do you mind answering your own questions?

[chkflip]

Answer these, too, while you're at it:

1] Why did you decide to give mafiascum a try?
2] How do you react to people attacking you?
3] What will you be known for in this game?

1]] I wanted to up my game. I played on a non-mafia based site where they chat a whole lot more, but the good players are

really

good. So I thought I'd give this a shot.

2]] I used to be really vocal, but I've calmed down quite a bit. Don't expect me to react to a couple votes, like, at all.

3]] Reaction fishing.

[Spadille]

Guys, I said explain. Not like what easjo682 and sinani did.
@easjo and sinani, please answer it in detail.

And yes, I don't mind. Though I'll answer it once everyone answers.

1]]One summer, I was bored and I have nothing to do.
2]]Look at their motive. If it's town, prove them wrong but not constantly and move on to looking for scum motivated jump on your wagon. If it's scum, harass them and ask them how strong their opinion is.
3]]A man who doesn't give reads.

[Uite]

I'm going to start looking for a replacement for

Katsuki

now.

EDIT:

camn

quickly takes the spot!

[camn]

Hi guys!
I am kind of in a rush, My stupid clock radio is broken. I think I knocked it of the table the other day, because that goddamned

Florence and the Machine

song came on again.
I used to love it. Now it is like circus music in my brain.

I don't give reads.

UNVOTE
VOTE: SPADILLE

We will see about that.

Oh.. and you CAN find scum in the RVS. Often. I'll tell you why later on.

[Spadille]

So, what's your problem with me not giving reads again?

[BS2000]

I wouldn't want to use it unless the majority is against the player anyway, same as a daylynch.
Maybe it would be more practical in different rules than this game.

Ah good point. I guess it's just hard for me to imagine that because were early in the game and i'm not thinking ahead hypothetically. It would seem to be useful in D2 and onward. Thanks for the honest advice.

1] Why did you decide to give mafiascum a try?

I enjoyed playing on another forum but nobody else seemed to into it, I like that it's taken a bit more seriously here.

2] How do you react to people attacking you?

We shall have to see. I'll probably be calm and collected and reasonable.

3] What will you be known for in this game?

My charming personality, tasteful fashion sense, and devilishly handsome good looks.

[camn]

It's anti town.
If you want to defer giving us the REASON for your town reads... That is fine. And good. And well accepted.
But not giving reads at all?

Worse than useless.
You will hinder us, and be a liability in endgame.

Not that I expect you to have reads this early.. But when you do, you will share them, or I will see you hang.

This is a reach. There is also a line between scummy and anti-town. And explain how will it hinder the town and how will I be a liability in endgame.

[Johhog]

I'm back, so not V/LA anymore.

1.)What's your timezone?

CET, which is GMT +2 during the DST.

2.)You are scum, explain how will you play the day off.

Fake-analyze some posts to mislead the town, joke a little bit like TwoHeadedBoy did in "There will be Bloodshed".

3.)You are town, how will you find scum in RVS?

It has to be a major scumslip for me to be able to find scum in RVS.

4.)Have you played games before?

A few times.

5.)You are given a power to have a day kill, when will you use it and how will you use it?

When I find a player that seems majorly scummy, but I only have a few guys with me on that.

Meh, can try BS2000's new questions also.

1.)Why did you decide to give mafiascum a try?

I don't actually intend to play regularly here, but I play Mafia on another forum with a totally different main scope, so I'm here to get some well-needed experience.

2.) How do you react to people attacking you?

Well, I have a somewhat hot personality, but I will try to stay calm.

3.) What will you be known for in this game?

The newb that failed. X_X But seriously, I hope I will be known for my mad scumhunting skillz and my analyzes.

May as well warn you for my poor English skills. It's a fair risk that there will be a occasion where I don't understand what the heck you are trying to say.

PEdit: I with camn on this one, actually. Surely there must be more advantages than disadvantages in sharing your reads?
PEdit2: Well, Spadille, I think it will make you risk lesser if you're scum, because it will be harder to contradict yourself. Also, isn't all players supposed to scumhunt, and correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't reads a part of scumhunting?

[Spadille]

It's not part of scumhunting. I can still scumhunt and make them slip.. and still not give reads.
