Hello all. Since this game has gone on for 4 months and 39 pages and we're still at day 1, it's clear that nothing interesting has happened, so I'm not going to bother reading.
In fact, I'm also not going to bother thinking.
Vote: elvis_knitsbecause DGB has an excellent point on pablito. Also, this game needs more mindless bandwagon voting.#mafia@irc.globalgamers.net

I like her attitude. Post 1015 pinged my scumdar, but I find elias scummier. I would vote DGB if the alternative was no lynch.MrBuddyLee wrote:xyl, what do you think of DGB? In a recent survey, four out of five scummers found her scummier than Folger's Crystals.#mafia@irc.globalgamers.net

Arguments against each other will only show who's better at saving their skin.
Elias and DGB, if you knew you had just been hit by a 24-hour delayed daykill with no way to save yourself, what last words would you leave to help the town?#mafia@irc.globalgamers.net

Chat games make natural tendencies clearer because people have less time to think. My experience in chat is that scum's gut reaction is to be more defensive than townies. I see evidence of that gut reaction in elias.#mafia@irc.globalgamers.net

In other words, he looks scummy and lynching him will give information. Sounds like a good case for lynching him.MrBuddyLee wrote:elias is the "easy vote" right now, which is something to be wary of. We'd get a fair amount of info from an elias lynch--CTD and elvis, even bluesoul have taken strong stances and DGB is pushing him based on no evidence.#mafia@irc.globalgamers.net

I'm having a hard time describing it. Scum tend to react emotionally to being voted at fewer votes than a townie would. They're also more likely to treat arguments against themselves differently from other arguments.MrBuddyLee wrote:Considering he just got into the game, 6/10.

I do not meta people except on the basis of games I have actually played in. I also never take someone's word on their own meta.
Incidentally, my meta is that I always play perfectly as either town or scum, so anything that looks like a scumtell really isn't. Ask anyone who's played on #mafia.#mafia@irc.globalgamers.net

It seems like every scum who is lynched goes to the gallows convinced the case against them is bullshit and the town just got lucky.
Of course, it also seems like every townie who gets lynched thinks the same thing.#mafia@irc.globalgamers.net

Damn. I thought elias or elvis was the SK.
I don't recall bluesoul's play specifically (I don't operate off tells on specific players...), but I can believe that he doesn't bus players there.#mafia@irc.globalgamers.net

unvote Lowell
Vig is a stupid claim for scum, especially since there's one SK dead already. If he's faking it we'll find out quickly enough. Therefore I'm going to assume Lowell is town for today.#mafia@irc.globalgamers.net

Information from the deaths:
MBL - Not much. He was very protown, and not aligned with other scum. Any interactions with him are probably null tells.
DGB - DGB's behavior was erratic enough that any attempts to divine the scum from what she said is pure WIFOM territory. Looking at other people's reactions to her will likely be informative.
chamber - chamber was playing? Not much info here.#mafia@irc.globalgamers.net

DGB's claim was the thing that tipped me over the edge to her being scum. I've seen supersaints, and I've seen people try to bluff supersaint, and her play wasclearlythe second. Once I looked at her through that lens it was easy to decide that lynching her if she didn't claim was the right play.#mafia@irc.globalgamers.net

I read DGB as trying to bluff supersaint, or possibly trying to bluff batshit insane townie. Either way it wasn't a very convincing impression.
I'm amused by DGB's comment that "you don't want to tee [me] off" in 142. I don't think it's significant, but it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
I'd really like to see Elias make his case on pablito in a concise, non-wall-of-text post. There may be something there, but I generally consider the strength of an argument to be inversely proportional to the number of words needed to make it.#mafia@irc.globalgamers.net
