Damn. I hit 'Post' to early. Stupid 10 min rule.

supplementscene: Also willing to lynch HSL or Trent but I don't think we have the numbers for them.
That is very interesting. What did HSL and Trent do to be put on your 'scummy' list? And if they are on your scummy list, then why did you hop on the wagon they established? At the moment you voted for me, these two were the only ones doing so - and if you suspect both of them, it is very strange to follow them on a wagon!

Korotan: I can see somehow your reason because his vote seems strange and even less effertort than I think I did. But about hypocrit you critisized me for jumping around arround and now I see you jumping too.

Mayby I am taking it to personal too but what Blotunga did whas just one step above what DeadPorno would be ready to do too if I understood him correct. For me it really seems you just for those who you find fitting to pick up on and talk back when other confront you with questions and sayings that they make think first they are idiots.

I ... honestly don't understand what you want to say with the last two sentences. Especially the last one doesn't even make sense. Could you please try to rephrase it?
I do get that the jumping looks bad. But bear in mind that I jumped only between my top three picks. All three of them, Scene, SPF and blotunga, seem scummy to me so I am willing to lynch either today.

One question: you do realize that you just followed Scene again? Like you did at the start of this Day and at the start of the first Day. It is almost starting to look like a 'follow the leader' pattern.

Lifthrasil: [...] After all you started the game in the same way: out of all players you picked the only one who already had a (random) vote on him.
avatar
HypersomniacLive: He did? A quick scan of the vote count I keep doesn't support it, but I might have missed it with all the early voting shenanigans. Could you point out where he did that?
Damn. When trying to find the post I was referring to, I realized that I remembered it wrong. Scene wasn't the one jumping on my random vote. He was the target. Korotan jumped on it. (and later, when ZFR got to 2 votes, jumped on that train)

Sorry, Scene! And thanks, HSL for pointing it out. About the rest, I agree, we should talk post-game.

That doesn't change, however, that Scene still looks scummy.
avatar
HypersomniacLive: Actually, "a guilty conscience needs no accuser" is how I understood it, but seeing the interpretation of your mother-tongue expression, you didn't mean it that way (i.e. no guilt or remorse drive a need to confess a wrongdoing).
You have lost me completely. I don't know where you got that last bit from but it's non-sensical to me. In bulgarian the idiom would be roughly transalted as "whomever is guilty will run without being chased" - hence blotunga is seing something that isn't actually there only becuase he's looking for it / afraid of it.

I'm not sure what we're discussing here.

avatar
HypersomniacLive: Accusation may have been a bit strong, but com'on, I find it hard to believe that you didn't get what point I was driving.
I do get the point and I do get where you're coming from. You should be doubting me because of past experiences (to be honest, you should even if there wasn't such a precendent). That still doesn't automatically mean it's not true this time and should be discounted as unreliable straight away. But in the end that's entirely up to you and everyone else.

blotunga: Anyway to move things forward, I don't like Pooka's silence so let's go there:

The only different thing is, Deadporno only consider it now while Inkblot acutally did it.
The other thing is I am still a bit grumpy about when the slip with Inkblot whas that I whas suspected first then him and the way you jump where I am mayby blind but I did not see something scummy on SPF so I thought you just look for those to pick up on. The way you talk remembers me additional to my mothers bad side which made me so that I am still because of the effect on me. Well about your last question which made me think that rational you are scum is that you dodging questions from Hypersomniac so about your last question no I did not realized it because I thought myself more following HSL's lead which is mayby not better but does not matter. Because one person here said which I forgot, that I should just vote instead of fear how it look like because sooner or later everyone will be looking suspicious. Yeah I have still my suspicions about M Mustard but mainly because of here sentence, that she need to know what can prevent Nightkill and bringing up serial killer and Inkblot because of his vote which you brought up.
Anyway the post of HSL which made me in the end choose you is this:
avatar
Lifthrasil: Yep. That's me. Always dodging your questions. Sorry if I have other suspect priorities than you. [...]
avatar
HypersomniacLive: You can have whatever suspects and related priorities you want. That's not the point. It's the way you've been going about things all Day long (trentonlf, PookaMustard, Korotan, supplementscene, and now SirPrimalform), and how you word/frame things (trentonlf/supplementscene, PookaMustard, Korotan, and now SirPrimalform further down); as I've said, your scum-hunting looks and feels superficial, like you're mimicking your established town-play to appear to be game-solving.

You never directly address the things I question/challenge you about, often going for the "oops" excuse which you then use to appear hard at game-solving and scum-hunting (like with PookaMustard and supplementscene), and straight out ignore my follow up when I lay out how you dance around and dodge my questions.

Take this for example:

avatar
Lifthrasil: [...] Korotan latching on to that flimsy reason looked over-eager. [...]
avatar
HypersomniacLive: It'd seem that you look at Korotan's (re)actions in a vacuum, and that's the good version of it. In context, it comes across as trying to find things to pick on the easiest target, the weakest player (no offence, Korotan) who can't defend themself well. And when attention is drawn to it, you find a reason to back-pedal.

A broader look at your votes, and assuming they are honestly your suspects, I definitely don't like how you frame things. Look at how you prefaced your current vote on SirPrimalform for example [emphasis added]:

avatar
Lifthrasil: [...] SPF is also still scummy. Either of these two would be a viable lynch for today in my eyes. Actually, I'll put them on equal footing for now. Then you all can decide which wagon to drive.

vote SPF [...]
avatar
HypersomniacLive: What's that supposed to mean? It reads to me like you're trying to create a dichotomy - "it's either SirPrimalform or supplementscene" - and at the same time, shift responsibility about the outcome on the rest of us.

avatar
Lifthrasil: [...] But what about you? As usual, you ask a lot of questions but you don't share much of your own suspicions. So, who are your main suspects and why? [...]
avatar
HypersomniacLive: Almost sounds like it bothers you that I'm not more open so you can't adjust your play to get off my radar.
You're a smart person, Lifthrasil, does it really come as a surprise that you're my main suspect at the moment after the way I've questioned you since the start of D2?

People say you've upped your game, and while that may be true, I look at your play, and a few too many things don't add up with you this game. I've wondered if I'm reading too much into them, hence I've asked others about it, but I haven't got much feedback (only trentonlf and somewhat ZFR chimed in).

Vote Lifthrasil

@all, asking again - am I reading too much into all of this?

I prefer Lifthrasil, but willing to go with supplementscene (indeed, dedoporno makes a good point, I think Lifthrasil made a similar one earlier) and SirPrimalform (even though Lifthrasl's voting him), not sure about anyone else even to avoid No-Lynch.

Also, meant to ask @ZFR - is Microfishd on the table for the same reasons as Yesterday, or has anything changed Today?
@Joe
looking at the rules myself, SPF, Fran should all should have been modkilled for not checking into the game for over 36 hours. I mean I'm not complaining about not being mod-killed but I do think Fran should have been on Day 1. If we have repeat 36+ hour offenders, looking at you SPF, then imo modkill should be implemented as it's in the rules and we can all say we've been warned. Obviously a PM to the mod can be made if a player has other plans. Obviously it's the Joes final decision on how he runs the game.

avatar
supplementscene: Right but I haven't advocated targeting lurkers first and foremost. You have.
avatar
Lifthrasil: No, I haven't. But thanks for the misrepresentation, it confirms that you only see what you want to see. I said repeatedly that going after lurkers is a fallback solution when there are no other, better leads. That is something quite different from 'targeting lurkers first and foremost'.

avatar
supplementscene: I've attempted to find the most suspicious players. From Day 1 I've stated I look closely at how wagons grow and it has appeared like you've picked convenient wagons. And now you've just done it again. Blotunga had a vote and interest from others so you get on that wagon.
avatar
Lifthrasil: And another misrepresentation. Blotunga wasn't the most convenient wagon when I voted him. You were. You had the same number of votes (one) and the interest of more players that Blotunga. And before that I was the only one voting SPF. How is that 'picking the most convenient wagon'?

I'll tell you what 'picking the most convenient wagon is'. It's selecting the only player with two votes on them and adding your vote. Which is exactly what you did, as soon as I had two votes on me. Which kind of fits your MO in this game. After all you started the game in the same way: out of all players you picked the only one who already had a (random) vote on him.
This is deceptive though because it ignores the context of how players have said they'd intend to vote. My wagon was seemingly not moving when you moved to Blotunga. Blotunga's wagon had strong support from ZFR and Korotan. So there was a good chance for it to be a 4 vote wagon before other votes were weighed in.

Your vote on my wagon has always seemed a little opportunistic. Because Trent, HSL, Dedo and ZFR looked happy to lynch me quite early on. if you're Mafia you know that wagon looks safe.

But what bothers me more is you changed back to my wagon after I left Blotunga's wagon. You said yourself it was a OMGUS vote. But was it? Or did you just decide my wagon had more chance of taking off at that stage when you were the only vote on Blotunga? Because really if you suspect Blotunga then the Town play is to stay on his wagon even if you are only 1 vote.

As for the claim my voting was opportunistic. It wasn't, I was already on a wagon with at least 4 potential votes. My re-read combined with your actions and reasoning made me consider my position. I have been comfortable with your reasoning for your votes on 1. Scene 2. Korotan 3. Blotunga.

The SPF reasoning makes sense because he's completely anti-town in his play and his avatar is mocking the game. And I've realised after reading the rules that SPF, myself and Fran (and others?) should have been mod-killed with the 36 hour check in rule. Which is a fairly strict rule as I didn't have the time or energy last week.

supplementscene: Also willing to lynch HSL or Trent but I don't think we have the numbers for them.

Lifthrasil: That is very interesting. What did HSL and Trent do to be put on your 'scummy' list? And if they are on your scummy list, then why did you hop on the wagon they established? At the moment you voted for me, these two were the only ones doing so - and if you suspect both of them, it is very strange to follow them on a wagon!.
It's not the best reason but the way both made a wagon and accused me on Day 1 reminded me of Bler and Agent doing the same thing last game. It seemed unwavering in the face of any evidence I could give to the contary. But that is OMGUS reasoning too. Neither have voted for me on Day 2 and neither have really been opportunistic in the wagon they initially picked on Day 2 because your wagon up until this moment hasn't seemed a popular one.

blotunga: Korotan is lost in space.
Which is true. My Math teacher used to said to me, your mind automaticly wanders of in higher spheres.

supplementscene: @Joe

Dude, where did you read this? Rule says we should check at least once in 36hrs, but nowhere it says modkill is to be the punishment.

Asking to modkill other players, except in extreme circumstances like Fran, is a big no-no. Please don't.

Korotan: Well about your last question which made me think that rational you are scum is that you dodging questions from Hypersomniac so about your last question no I did not realized it because I thought myself more following HSL's lead which is mayby not better but does not matter. Because one person here said which I forgot, that I should just vote instead of fear how it look like because sooner or later everyone will be looking suspicious.
Ah, thanks for the explanation. Yes, following HSL is probably a better idea (if he's town) than following Scene (who has a higher chance to be scum in this game, I think). It is also correct that you shouldn't be afraid to vote and, if you're town, you shouldn't worry too much about how you look. You got the wrong target (if you're town), but other that that your play is improving.

Just one small suggestion: try to write shorter sentences. With punctuation. That would make it easier to follow what you want to say. Not all of us are native speakers and your mode of writing is a bit confusing at times.
avatar
dedoporno: You seemed to read the OP and the flavor properly, why would you be skimming posts which contain actual game related information? What type or who's posts are you not paying full attention to and why?
If the post drags on too long about a point, I likely just skim it to get a general gist of what's the post is about. That said, HSL's posts are the most likely ones for me to skim. I can agree with Lift that - worrying about what points HSL would pick if I replied to his questions is something I often have conflicts with. In the end, I do reply to his questions and answer them to the best of my ability, but I would be lying if I said it doesn't tire me. Conversely, if I try reading a half of one of his posts, I lose interest in reading midway.

avatar
PookaMustard: I really expected Mafia to be much simpler than that, with only vanilla roles to go for them.
avatar
dedoporno: [emphasis added by me]

I'm not sure I understand that last bit. Can you elaborate a bit?
What I am saying is that I expected Mafia to be simpler, with only vanilla Town and vanilla Mafia, nobody has any special abilities. Or at least less role shenanigans to worry about. I didn't expect to be thinking about a serial killer, or if there's some roles that allow the mafia to have two night kills.

With less hours on the clock and the potential that I'd be busy tonight, I am torn between two things. HSL does have an argument against Lift (and he's the leading wagon), but on the other hand, there's scene's insistence on blotunga's slip.

On a third (alien) hand, I've still reason to believe SPF has something wrong about him; but maybe I am looking too much into his frequency of posting. After all, the previous Secret Hitler game had the scum be active players and we (I was one of the scum) used the barely active liberals to our favor. I am inclined to believe that the scum in this game are mostly active players. After all, can't really turn the narrative away from scum if you're inactive.

I am going to

@mod vote supplementscene

I mean, so far in Day 2, he seems to insist on blotunga slipping potential knowledge. I don't think I saw him think of other targets. Could it be the "tunneling" that Lift discussed with him after my Discord Secret Hitler game? Probably, but I am thinking something is not genuine about it.

Even though I know exactly where you're coming from I have to admit that one shouldn't discard HSL's posts. They are valuable as Town and can be very damaging as scum if you allow it. With that said you shouldn't skim anyone's really, especially if you're Town. Information is already scarce and confusing enough as it is.

Then don't think about it. As a matter of fact one shouldn't spend time and/or energy considering things that they don't have reason to suspect being in the game. Discussing game mechanics, especially this early on, is pointless and nothing good comes out of it (for Town, that is, scum may be able to pick something up if they are lucky enough).


Back on Lift's posts.

While it was the case in the last secret hitler game it doesn't always work like that. Plenty of Mafia players let Town players accuse other Town players while lurking and not posting much. The problem with a player like SPF is that he will play this way no matter what so you can't read him at all. That means if he is Mafia how do you know? You don't, that's the problem.

Lifthrasil: That doesn't change, however, that Scene still looks scummy.
So I've gone from 'tunneling' to 'looks scummy' on the basis of voting for you?

That was my impression too, when I joined mafia few games ago. I was under the impression roles are the exception rather than the norm.
I'd like to try a vanilla-only game some day. Though to be honest (hehe), I think one with roles is more suitable for a forum game. Vanilla-only would be fun in real time (chat or face-to-face), but might get boring for the forums.But that's a discussion for the Mafia Administration thread.
By the way, since I am here, while reading
