OMGUS does not exist when Player A is voting Player B and B has a legitimate reason for voting A back, and you probably don't want to accuse yourself of OMGUS out loud.Kairyuu wrote:
This is what I consider serious reaching. AndTo what you said in your last post responding to CDB. It seems like you are latching on to his reasoning in hopes that no one will notice you said something else earlier.
Considering I find this slightly scummy I will unvote Vote Kairyuu.thisis opportunism at its most basic form. But, of course, I can't vote you now can I, because that would be OMGUS. But I'm not overly bothered by that, because I have found what I wanted back when I unvoted Nightwolf, an actual reason to vote for someone. I am all for pressure votes to force a slipup or a claim but I much prefer votes with backing. Therefore,unvoteandVote: DragonsofSummer.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

I don't like people putting someone at L-3 without a good reason, though it's true that there are more dangerous positions than that. As for putting someone at L-4, I feel my vote is justified and I only find L-4 a problem in the random voting stage.ChannelDelibird wrote:SC's third vote is silly. He gets all hot and bothered about...Lynch-3. Come on, people! Lynch-3 is NOT a problem. The only reason I can think that you might be scared of it would be scum quicklynching, but that would require THREE scum players to jump on it in the most obviously scummy move the world has ever seen. Lynch-3 is nothing, but the relative ease SC has in putting Kairyuu on Lynch-4 is kinda jarring when you look at his reaction to Lynch-3.
I've been known to overreact to... just about everything that people are known to overreact to xD It's me, though. Should I be frowned upon for that? Probably. Is it anti-town? I can't think of a good way to argue otherwise. Is everyone who overreacts scum? No.ChannelDelibird wrote:Like Drake! I like my vote, but I'm also looking at Iron Man for opening with a WIFOM gambit and SC for multiple overreactions.
Note that I'm only defending my overreactions in isolation from everything else and saying that it in and of itself is not scummy. In combination with other questionable behaviors, I'll probably say it is.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

It's me personally, but imagine throwing twelve 12-sided dice. The odds of getting three or more of the same number isn't very high as far as I know (but then again, I may have to refresh my memory about probability—I previewed my post with a dice string set to throw twelve 12-sided dice and got three ones and three twos).
This is only a situational example, and I know that using the dice string for an actual random vote is controversial. It's outside the context of this case anyway.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

I think you misinterpreted my answer, CDB.ChannelDelibird wrote:I think you miss my point, SC.
Why is it so important to preserve the randomness of the early game?
I'm not saying the randomness must be preserved in the early game. Once some real (i.e. not random) votes start coming in, which is the early game anyway, you can vote for whomever on which you have a legitimate case regardless of the number of votes on that person. Forget randomness at that point.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

I don't use meta to determine alignments because it is ineffective, assuming I use it at all. It's good to get the kind of person someone is that way, but meta is manipulatable. I'm one that plays as he goes anyway.
As for your question, a little bit of both. I know this is stating the obvious, but acting in an anti-town manner helps scum. Helping scum is scummy.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

Makes sense, actually.Mokina wrote:Okay, interesting. I propose the following:
The psychiatrist should roleclaim now. If such a character exists, they will be able to target Natirasha tonight and convert him to a normal townie, after which point he will be confirmed as innocent. If nobody claims, we assume there isn't a psychiatrist in the setup and lynch Natirasha today. Since he's a permanent SK in that situation, the town still comes out ahead.
Thoughts?

Have you checked everyone else's activity during the night to see if this is supported?Kairyuu wrote:Assuming that the scumdidn'tkill would mean that either they are setting up a doc claim with a no kill, or they are inactive. I've seen a scum claim doc in two different games, so I would assume that this is not a rare occurance. However, we do have enough lurkers/flakers that the scum may have just not signed on to submit the NK at all.
The third possibility doesn't come off to me as likely, but given this is a theme game...Kairyuu wrote:Assuming that the scumdidsubmit a kill, but were stopped somehow, we have a few possibilities. One is that there could actuallybea doctor who successfully predicted the NK target during N1. That poses problems, because a doc claim could go either way. Another possibility could be that there is a town-aligned roleblocker who blocked scum N1. The third possibility I can see is that there is self-protector who chose to protect themself when they were targetted.

This looks like Stoofer's 3rd Law.Kairyuu wrote:@Mokina: One problem with your opening logic. If you assume that the town is entirely power roles, then the game is still overbalanced towards scum, due to one of Stoofer's Laws (not sure which one), which states that as the number of town power roles increases, the chance of scum winning also increases.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

I'll follow suit based on this reasoning,RandomGem wrote:I support a no lynch for this day. If there are 3 scum, then tomorrow we'll be at LyLo, but will have a higher probability to lynch scum. If there are 2 scum, we would still have 1 mislynch, which we would have whether or not we did no lynch or not. Also, in both cases (or if there is no night kill), town gains information from night actions.
Vote: No Lynchunvoteif I need to, andvote No Lynch. I really don't have anything solid on anybody.

I really don't have a good case on anybody right now, and with the slow game there isn't much at the moment. We've gotten rid of the serial killer, but we're not getting new right now.
At least agreeing on a no-lynch is better than just sitting there.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

Don't ask me anything about strategy about any game (Mafia or not) and expect me to have a very good answer. It's incorrect to say that I'm 100% oblivious to it, but it probably helps explain why I dare not call myself experienced. It's also incorrect to say that I've never used strategy in Mafia, however, even if it didn't work out how I planned it to.iamausername wrote:He knows certain things that are done in a game of mafia, as a general rule, but clearly has no comprehension ofwhythese things are done.
Let me tell you a story...
Mod: The following game I describe is complete.
I was scum versus three cops in Mini 624. Day 1, two of those cops counterclaimed each other. We got one of them lynched, and I left the other cop alive the following night to make him look suspicious. That cop happened to get a guilty result on our godfather, and the latter got lynched the following day. I had the former offed because I didn't want to run the risk of him not being paranoid (which he actually was).
The third cop claimed after I faked tracker Day 4. I tried explaining that three cops in a mini was simply not believable to me, but when that failed I stopped pushing him. I left him alive again, but this time I gambled—he had three innocents and had not yet investigated me. I killed the person I cleared instead of that cop. He investigated me that night and got an innocent on me, thereby confirming to me that he was naïve, and I still got lynched Day 5 for the lose.
So, the moral of the story: Yes, strategy is one of my weak points, but I'm not a complete stranger to it.
I'm impulsive. That's a given.iamausername wrote:Just...

I am trying to improve, though. If anything, I'm living longer through a game now—it used to be a pretty frequent for me to get lynched on Day 1. Now I just have to figure out how not to get lynched half the time.iamausername wrote:I find it pretty impossible to get a read on him, because his plastyle is so ridiculous.

By "suspecting somebody, but not enough to warrant a vote", I rarely take the number of votes on the player into account (the excepton comes around at L-2 or so). I didn't like what RandomGem did, but I didn't feel his actions worthy of my vote. It's more of a judgment call thing than anything else.iamausername wrote:
Yeah, but... the guy had no votes. You presumably didn't suspect anyone else more, since you weren't voting at the time. How could it possibly not warrant a vote? Where is the risk in putting a vote on? You were perfectly happy to hop on a whole bunch of wagons earlier in the day for fairly weak reasons, but putting RandomGem at L-6 was just too risky?StrangerCoug wrote:I will use an FoS in lieu of a vote when I suspect somebody, but not enough to warrant the latter.
Sometimes I move my vote around a lot; sometimes I'm hesitant even voting in the first place. I haven't paid much attention to what applies when, but the less certain I am of a particular person being scum, the more I move my vote around. I was unsure of anybody being scum when I FoS'd RandomGem instead of voting him.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

I thought I made it clear that I don't have a suspect, Kairyuu.
As for your case on me, thank you for bringing Mokina into my consciousness. I do have reason to believe she is pro-town, but I am unable to explain my copying her other than that reasoning. In fact, I wasn't even aware I was.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

So I used the word "him" instead of "you". Is that what sets off alarm bells here?Korts wrote:
This post feels fabricated. I can agree with the point it's trying to make, although I'm not convinced RG was serious, but I really don't like how the second part addresses the town overall rather than RG.StrangerCoug wrote:

FoS: RandomGem.It's an anti-town move by him, but I don't think it's scummy enough to warrant a vote, which is why I'm still hanging on to it.
I thought it was clear the un-FoS takes that into account, therefore I didn't mention it.Korts wrote:RandomGem wrote:

These two posts, however, imply to me an SC-RG connection. RG's post is fishy in itself, because it's quite clear the drake wagon is in no relation to his grammar; SC's post is scummy because he fails to point this out, and un-FoSes rather quickly.StrangerCoug wrote:Thanks for clarifying.Un-FoS: RandomGem.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

I've PM'd MeMe about the mod's absence and am waiting for a response. I really, really do want to keep playing, but if the lurking problem continues then I'd rather get outta here.
It'd be nice if we had a backup mod...STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

The "ar" at the end is acceptable, however, and I understand the word "cougar" being used to refer to me (even though it isn't commonly used outside of MafiaScum.net). Let's try to stay on track, though.Zakeri wrote:

Popcorn's good.
As for my no-lynch vote yesterday: I took the mod's coming back and updating the thread and the talk about RandomGem and me as discussion picking up, and I really don't want to have a vote out for no lynch if I see discussion as highly likely. Simply a playstyle thing.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

Massclaiming is quite common in my experience, so why do you call it controversial?Kairyuu wrote:Also, I am mildly suspicious of Iamausername and Korts, because a controversial idea (as I believe a massclaim is) proposed by one person, and supported by a second soon after generally serves to sway those who would ordinarily be on the fence about the idea.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

There was a cop in the game, but he turned out to be naive. The massclaim in my game happened because I claimed roleblocked tracker (I was actually a standard Mafia goon) and I proposed the theory that, since I was "blocked" Night 2 but not Night 3, the roleblocker was probably town. I opposed the massclaim there, but it still happened, and the town found out that the roleblocker was scum and/or I was lying. There was a claimed cop out, but he then had three innocent results. He ended up being naive, as well.Kairyuu wrote:One event does not make a trend. Plus, were there other variables in play such as a cop with a guilty, or was it the massclaim that won the game.
Closed.Kairyuu wrote:Also, was it an open/semi open setup where the scum couldn't hide? Or was it a closed setup, with the other players relying on blind luck to decide which roles were fake/scum?STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!
