Looking for a decent game (RR96%)
I'm looking to join a game with players that will actually play. I haven't played for a couple of years and was quickly reminded why I stopped when in Autumn 01 3 people failed to submit orders in my first game back. My RR is 96% (I'm still ashamed it's not 100% - I CD'ed once before RR was visible and didn't know it would negatively affect my stats). I prefer to play classic. Other than that, I'm not too bothered on rules or phase length. Also, I love players that "ready" often.

Throwing a game
What is everybody's opinion on players throwing a game? There's a debate going on in a game of mine whether it's a form of metagaming or a valid strategy, or just unsportsmanlike, and I'd be curious to see how everyone feels about it.

Gunboat as Austria: Suicide pact with Italy
Premise: Whenever playing gunboat as Austria and you are attacked by Italy right out of the gate, one should always give up as many centers to Turkey as possible and get your last dying armies onto the boot to drag Italy down with you. This is the only way the madness will stop.

@brainbomb pronounced "ball-dur-an" with emphasis on the first syllable, but I don't particularly care if you mispronounce it.
Also, idk if it was just me, but your audio buzzed and faded a bit every so often, might want to take a look at whatever you were recording with.

I sort of agree with what you said about Jamie, but he's always seemed like that in what little I've read from him (him being GM in the only game I've read).
I wouldn't put what snowy's said so far very far outside of his typical behavior, but I mean to re-evaluate once it's clear he's being serious.

Was my phone. Fuckers are blowin up discord it kept buzzin. But it wont be an issue. Forgot to take my ringtone buzz off while recording.

@Jamie are you eager to find scum or pretend you are?

You could just type like a normal person. But I suppose I could start carrying headphones with me to listen to your jibberish.
snowy801 (591 D)
06 Feb 17 UTC
Brainbomb around 40 seconds your audio drops drastically and it makes it really hard to hear. There's also an intermittent buzzing sound you should be aware of.

I don't think there's much to respond to your accusation except to say that I'm a firm believer that a day start day 1 does matter, and is far from the "it's basically random" lynch a lot of people I've seen parrot.

I'd also like to know what the sponge/pineapple terminology you've used means, as google isn't turning up anything useful.
snowy801 (591 D)
06 Feb 17 UTC
And I would second the preference to have you type all this out rather than doing an audio recording.

Hey snowy - you know Balduran right?

Share everything you know about him. How does he play? What is his normal personality? What is his greatest fear? His ideal woman? Boxers or briefs?

Give us some insight.

@Brainbomb: Of course I am eager to find scum. I am not going to listen to audio links though. Please explain your theory regarding pineapples.
snowy801 (591 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
I mostly know him outside the mafia context as it always happens to be past his bedtime when we do play, but I would say the best single adjective to describe his game would be cautious. He toes the line between lurking and participating, whether mafia or town, and is very unlikely to be the first to point fingers at another, preferring to evaluate the accusations of others from a neutral distance.

He also professes to be "extremely loyal" when it comes to diplomacy, and seemingly lives up to it, while simultaneously declining to make long term commitments of said loyalty, and simply holding up bargains which were struck immediately prior with extreme integrity. How this translates to mafia, I'm not quite certain yet.

Obviously I won't reveal any personal information about him but I will mention that he has a thing about dragons. He seems like a briefs guy, but I'm afraid I've yet to have the fortune of investigating personally.

"Reading him felt like seeing a sponge that longed to be a pineapple but was going through the pains of transmorphing into a stage identity."
Ezio (2181 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
Sounds like he's vulnerable to buddying.
@Balduran: you are an amazing person. I want you to know, while I'm not the best mafia player on the site, I'm certainly the friendliest! :). We should agree to never vote for each other... ever... Ok?
brainbomb (290 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
Translation: "Scum who is tired of being scum and wishes he was a PR so he didnt have to be fake".
