Newbie 745 - Town wins!

[Mufasa]

either going seamus or bronco good choices in retrospect, just based off i like active chatters, makes all online forums more fun, and entertaining

[hohum]

but you never voted bronco, you voted gabe, and you're dodging my question.

What sort of retrospect can you possibly have 3 pages into D1?

Patience is the key to this game. They often stretch out over months.

[Mufasa]

What question voting three times? I voted three times to get everyones feel to who I voted for, just wanted to poke and prod a few places to see reactions and feelings you know, my ma works at a butchery and you gotta make sure the meat is just right, so you gotta poke around a bit.

fun/entertaining =/= pro-town

lurking and active lurking can be scummy, but there is no evidence of this happening. People will post infrequently. I only happen to be posting so frequently right now because I don't have any work to do at the moment.

[Mufasa]

School was snowed out here so thought I'd have time to check the weather in these forums

You changed your vote twice in a day, I'm beginning to suspect you.
I won't cast a vote now because as I've said, I'm just beginning to suspect you.

[Mufasa]

Idk what you guys mean by changing votes and stuff, this is my first round of mafia I really don't get whats so significant about changing votes and such

[neko2086]

I don't think you're the only person who is playing here for the first time, so that's not going to get you far, just so you know.

The random vote usually has no substance to it, but after that, we would hope you'd have a good reason for voting somebody, especially if you're hoping for the vote to result in a lynch. If you're frequently vote-hopping, one just has to wonder whether you really care who is lynched. Scum generally don't care who is lynched just as long as its town, and it's best for scum to work quickly. It's best for town to be patient, make sure everyone is talking, and make the most informed lynch possible.

Does that make sense?

[Mufasa]

o ok thanks for the tips, I just figured if it is random really there won't be any information that will give an indication on who to vote for so i was just going with whoever had the most votes, and since both werent the most talkative I just did eni mini miny mo, didn't know there was any strategy during a random vote, thanks for the informative

[broncofaninmd]

no lynch? no way, only benefits scum

vote mufasa

[Mufasa]

how would no lynch benefit scum? wouldn't scum want a lynch so they could kill a townie? i just said no lynch cause random vote didnt sound like the way to go you know without any clues

[broncofaninmd]

A no lynch gives scum a free night kill, also no information for town. Then you offered to put a random vote on me, putting me at l-2.

I said you or seamus because you've been inactive thats all, now that you are chatting I'd gladly not vote you

[broncofaninmd]

It's so early to start thinking about a No Lynch, but I can see why you did it if you wanted to stimulate discussion.

Vote: broncofaninmd

*poke* Hi.

Hey Spinach!

No strategy in random votes, but sometimes they do provide valuable information. You could hit scum and get lucky with the way they defend themselves or you could see a quick rise to a defense which could be very helpful in later days.

@Broncofaninmd: You win the award of having the most complicated name of us all. I will henceforth be called you Bronco.

Also,

Unvote.

[broncofaninmd]

Bronco is fine. Besides, thats what everyone called me in my prior games.

Concerning this, it would be nice to know how many games you guys have been in. I just would like to know for the sake of the first-timers, so I can get an idea of how much back round knowledge they have, and if someone throws the newbie, I can tell if this can work as an excuse.

This is currently my 4th game.

[Spinach]

Newbie Card, that is.

[Gabe]

First game on a forum, though I have played Mafia at GenCon several times.

[broncofaninmd]

3rd game. Second with my pal Spinach.

[Family:Kostic]

1st Game on here. Played 99 turbo games on Facebook mafia a while back, but not enough people play on that anymore to make the turbo games worth while..

@ Spinach & Broncofanmd: How long did each of you last in the previous game game with the 2 of you in it?

[Spinach]

@ Spinach & Broncofanmd: How long did each of you last in the previous game game with the 2 of you in it?

Until the end. :) We were the last ones.

[Mufasa]

This is my first game on any online source, have played multiply games in real life, just you know seems like everyone has a different rule set, and on that mind set I've never played with a random vote that is the only reason why i am a little confused at the beginning of this round.

@bronco hmm you and spinach friends. Good to know we have a little bonding

@ newbie card theory I don't think people should give a "bye" to newbies because this thread is called newbie game therefore we all are pretty much newbs I think

[Gabe]

@bronco hmm you and spinach friends. Good to know we have a little bonding :)

Bonding... or obviously SCUM?! I think I'm on to something :P
