Mafia 57 Matrix

[Jamiet99uk]

Well, I didn't see the game was starting yesterday and now I have 13 pages to read.
Will try to start reading now, but I have a meeting in half an hour.

Rdrivera has now been in a meeting for a very long time.

TIL therul is darkwing duck

Also it's chic

Also HB and therul seem skittish.

Skittish? Not to speak for therul but if my lack of confidence in reading, and not wanting to force a read, comes across as skittish, so be it.

Are you telling everyone that's your strong scumread?

This reaction is skittish. Newbies tend to be skittish, so since I learned of your experience I've been more lenient in my mind towards you. But scum newbies are *especially* skittish...which tends to be why newbies get lynched early.

How does that follow?

Several years, by my count.

And EMC has been napping for 22 hours... But that's not actually unusual...

I am therul and I DO NOT approve this message.

Having done this a couple of times I find those who are new to a group do tend to get picked on early.
It is true no mater if they are town or mafia. It is the fact that the town do not know enough of the new player to be able to figure out how they are playing, and the new player is still trying to figure out the experienced players.

I have tried to lay enough of myself out in front to show who and what I am, so I do not get lynched Day 1.

Like a spectrum, ghug. I shouldn't have to re-hash the number of D1 newb lynches there have been because they were acting fishy and people mistook it for scum. However that same pressure usually gets the newb scum to scumslip. My first ever game of mafia I was scum and only got through D1 because my teammates convinced everyone I was "too scummy to be scum". So put them under the microscope, watch them shake, and then judge as best you can if it's normal newb behavior. This creates different judgement criteria for new players than old farts like yourself, but it's the right way to do things.

Who,
and what,
and why,
and how?

[ghug]

Wherefore?

##vote emc

shake him into action

I'm all for trying to get EMC to do anything, but it won't work and wagoning him on D1 leads to less information than other players.

His existence in the game is anti-town. It is a pro-town move to remove him.

Yes there is less information. I'll state all my other preferences, people can read.

People should say whom else they'd be voting for if not emc. This provides the same content you're seeking later (just not as easily searchable in the bot)

[BunnyGo]

Have you formed any opinions on people yet, gold?

After all that ghug/gold noise, if they're BOTH scum I tip my hat. No idea if they're both town, but I have a hard time believing two scum would have the balls to pull that off.

[BunnyGo]

I think Flash rolled scum again.

Why?

[BunnyGo]

##vote dargorygel
for lack of posts. (day 1 stuff)

dargo wasn't even the lowest poster here...(ignoring the fact he's GMing). This is weird on many levels.

You seem to be anxious to vote, but not speak. Can we try a little more of allowing us to see into your brain? We are in the matrix after all.

Remember the mafia can day chat. This is pretty tame.

[BunnyGo]

I think Flash rolled scum again.

That would be three times in a row (effectively) That only happens to rdrivera. BTW, he hasn't turned up yet, has he?:

##VOTE rdr

ninja'd!

Again will be impressed if both rdr and flash are scum.

Oh sh*t...that's right.

Ugh, never mind. I need a nap.

[BunnyGo]

therul is probs town.

With scum daychat available I don’t think a scumbo who is newish(?) would accidentally vote the GM.

Just got to this post....

I've found in my recent games as scum that the newbies tend to try and overcompensate, and the experienced players advise "just be yourself and hunt." Not sure that they can really protect therul from himself.

[Foxcastle]

Bo_sox, Summit, EMC, worcej, Macca... have either not shown, or disappeared after they initially showed up.

[BunnyGo]

I think "teammates told him to be dumb" is equally plausible.

I do not.

If teammates told him to be dumb, I don’t think he would have corrected himself so quickly. He would have let someone else correct him to play it off more visibly. This seems like an honest mistake. A mistake scum could make too, but if I were a new player with scum daychat I’d be running almost all of my thoughts and posts through that daychat before posting here.So I’m inclined to think he is town.

For argument's sake, how much would teammates be able to say? "Hey! Don't draw attention. Just try to scum hunt like you were town." Would they really be editing and approving EVERY post?

Macca was the scummiest/noobiest of the ones who showed up at all. EMC is the emc-est of them.

No. I wouldn't expect every post. But with daychat available, I would expect scum to discuss posts where they were actually casting a vote
