Sure, it's a newbie game, and Deer replaced in for someone else too, just btw. It's not done yet, so I can't say much else, but here you go. To be honest I figured that my slot was the best vote before realizing that it was the role I was replacing lol.fallen angel wrote:

Actually, I don't mind it. It's good for things like finding patterns, looking for bandwagons and attempted quicklynches, and basically just a way to get to know other players before it starts.Nobody Special wrote:I'll go next.
Who else hates RVS?
I do. Intensely.
In that case, we really shouldn't discuss it. Talking about ongoing games is a no-no.smashbro_of_the_SSS wrote:fallen angel wrote:smashbro_of_the_SSS wrote: Vote: Deer for me replacing him in a game and given 2 days to defend myself as the most obvious lynch candidate, then getting lynched.

Excuse my double posting, but
I do, actually. What's everyone's favorite role? Playstyle? If so for either, then why? Any previous games? Links, please, if so? Hopefully this'll start some discussion.havingfitz wrote: ZZZZZZ ZZZ ZZZZZZZZ

I'll post links for my previous games when I find them. I have kind of an erratic playstyle, it tends to vary from game to game and role to role. My favorite role is any scum except Godfather. I like the deception involved, and I like the sense of getting away with something and defending myself. I'm not as strong a scumhunter as others, and so when I'm scum (and have meta to back me up) I can pose as town pretty well. I also like being a vanilla townie for the lack of any resources other then logic and skill. Nothing in the night phase to do other then analyze and read and think.-

Not sure...only non-VT roles (out of 8 or 9 games) have been replacing in as a seer and replacing in as a mafia roleblocker (both in D2 iirc). Seer was ok (caught a werewolf but lost the game) and mafia was fun but stressful (but resulted in a win). Getting a bit frustrated with all the VT roles. I would like to give mafia a try again...especially from the start of a game as it was exciting to evade town yet interesting to see people make right and wrong assumptions during the game. Playstyle is an OODA loop. Previous games can be googledfallen angel wrote:I do, actually. What's everyone's favorite role? Playstyle? If so for either, then why? Any previous games?

My favorite role is Vanilla Townie. And it will remain my favorite role until I can survive until endgame as such. My playstyle is...erratic, tbqh. I never know what I'm going to do until I do it.fallen angel wrote:Excuse my double posting, but

Any particular reason why? Haha, that sounds like my playstyle too. Aww, ongoing games means no meta or ability to ask about power or anti-town roles.

I always preferred RQS because there's at least more (seemingly) useful discussion that stems from it. But I'm not familiar enough with normal games to do RQS yet so I fall back on RVS. In general, early D1's suck.nobody wrote:Who else hates RVS?
If the voting is, in fact, random. How exactly does it give you useful patterns? The bandwagoning that happens due to RVS is usually, as far as I've seen, just done to spark up more conversation, and is oftentimes done by pro-town figures as well as scum. Do you really think scum will attempt to quick lynch with a random bandwagon?fallen angel wrote:Actually, I don't mind it.

I've only played in newbie games and one normal games so my experience with roles is really limited. The two games I was scum in were exceedingly stressful and the one cop game I got was an utter fail. So for now, I guess my answer would be vanilla townie. Though I've been reading up on more normals lately and it sounds rather fun to play a mason.fallen wrote:I do, actually. What's everyone's favorite role? Playstyle? If so for either, then why?

But when someone flips scum (or a scummy player flips town, etc.) if you look back at the RVS, you can see some patterns. If two people continually and blatantly try to distance themselves from the other, even in the RVS, they might be scumbuddies. Stuff like that. And no, they wouldn't, but scum may hop on a bandwagon early in an attempt to not only appear original and incriminate other players by accusing them of bandwagoning later on, but also in hopes of something solid coming up later.

Newbie games, although limited in roles, are good experience with the basics, and not a lot of setups use anything much more complicated. Some have vigs and stuff, but I haven't seen many setups that differ too far from newbie, just more players.
My previous games are in my wiki. As for play style.. Uh...I type a lot?Any particular scumhunting techniques you use a lot?
Fallen - How experienced are you with mafia?Sorta? I've played for a year and a half, although I took a break from this site. When I first started I played a bunch of games here (check my signature), but have more experience with face-to-face.-

Yes, well. There's at least discussion going on.
Also, for those who are interested- http://www.mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php ... llen_angel
It needs updating, but meh.
And just for the sake of discussion or something, if I appear to be playing well (well, scumhunting properly, anyway), that probably means I'm scum.-

Not that I find the role of VT frustrating...just the fact that I have been in that role so often and have not had a chance to try other roles at all or more often. I.e. a break in the monotony would be nice too.fallen angel wrote:Also, why is VT frustrating?

Oh, but it isn't. Meta (at least with players that have played multiple roles) can show how people behave as town, as scum, and occasionally as third party players (serial killers and such). Meta is a useful tool and should be taken advantage of, seeing as we're at D1 and have nothing else to go on.jbernier93 wrote:

Bolding mine -- that's a very brave thing to say. But I can also see how you could hide behind it the other way -- f'rinstance, being scum but actively lurking. Ugh, WIFOM makes my head hurt.fallen angel wrote:Yes, well. There's at least discussion going on.

Okay I'm here, a few words before I start - I only have my iPod as Internet until Friday so don't expect many posted quotes or huge textwalls until then - i'll try to refer to post numbers if I can. secondly, SSS, I'm really sorry about that game, but there were some pretty big RL things that came up, I do feel bad about it.
I agree with fallen's view on meta, though - if a player plays differently as scum vs. how they play as town, that can be easily seen. it's a pretty good tool but not something you should base a whole case on, though.
Not a fan of RVS either, so I'll answer your questions: as far as playstyle goes, I'm relatively new so I'm still trying to figure it out. my first game as newbtown I was far too defensive and appeasing so I still gotta work that out. I like playing as town much better than scum - something about the sense of security and the non-lying that happens just makes me more comfortable.
and I don't know if anybody has asked this yet, but nobody special, can you get
an avatar? just makes it waaaay easier.
