I confirm (perfect time zone eh?)


This is my second time playing mafia. My last one was the recent HNM hosted by LS

Knowing Two - Rolled - Chris friend alignment makes me feel uneasy >_>

Uneasy in a threatening way or..?

Ph0x: There are two situations where you would hope Chris isn't a dumbass.

Situation 1: He is your scum partner. This is less likely than situation 2, as you wouldn't associate yourself with fellow scum d1.

Situation 2: You know he is town, and you are attempting to associate yourself with another townie.

There's only two roles you can possess that let you know Chris is town d1. Both are scum.

You're welcome guys, here's your first mafia.

I won't FoS or anything though because I'm pretty sure you died d1 in the last mafia. That would be mean to do it twice :(

Anyway Rolled, I think you're making hasty judgements, which is pretty scummy to me.

You gave reasoning for your vote, saying Chris was "shady." Maybe that wasn't to be taken seriously, but truth is, it was hasty judgement. You then stated hasty judgement is a scumtell, and you unvoted, which sounded like an "I'm coming for you, Rolled."

I'm not certain as of right now anybody's role but my own. That being said, I'm going to place my scum vote on people who have given me scum tells. Not really much else to go on.

the "lets all vote for random people ^__^" sentiment is horrible if you actually are town, since it 100% guarantees town dies day 1

I've played probably like 5 total, not including the ones that got canceled, remade, all that jazz. This is my first Mafia that I remember, though (I may have died n1 of another one or something)
About 5, I'm getting better at this game as I play more, really.

no I was just voting for "ph0x" instead of "phox"

Rolled
ph0x, I'd rather not have you lynched d1 because you are one of the stronger minds, and with the most experience, in this game. That's the logistic side of me. If I went with my gut, I would vote for you.

But truth is, you getting lynched d1 as pro-town is a huge win for mafia. It's not worthwhile to take that chance on a gut feeling.

But at the same time, I wish you'd be giving me more reason to think you're pro-town. You've yet to say anything in this thread constructive towards the game. All you've been doing is trying to evade pressure by shrugging everything off as sarcasm.

I'm on to you though, bro.

Let's point some FoS's. This is somewhat in order of extremity:
Rust: hypocrite
ph0x: read above
animask: You gave no reason for voting for me other than that you thought my logic was wrong. You didn't mention anything I did specifically that you thought was scummy.
DxS: Making personal votes doesn't benefit town. Chris is in the game whether you like it or not, so place your vote somewhere else unless there's a reason you're voting Chris that we don't know. It's a good cop-out if you're mafia, though.
Two: I feel that Two is trusting me more in this game than in the past (lolmeta). An optimal day 1 for him is ph0x getting lynched, and me getting NKed. This is without a doubt.

oh and Q is always mafia.
Two_old

Rolled wrote:

I don't know what post of mine gave you the impression that I don't think you're mafia. Maybe the lack of a post?
Rolled
Why ignore the last part. Is it because it is true? :(
Two_old
ignoring all other factors, my ideal lynch as town is chris cause he isn't that active

if I consider the content of posts, then right now I think ph0x is the most likely to be mafia

if I were mafia, I would night kill rust45
Rolled
edit:

p.s.- animask was lurking, but he didn't post :(
Stuff like that is shady to me, especially when you're being called out.
Sleep Powder
No accusations in the following. Just ideas.

Rolled, you seem to be pressuring players a bit by lightly accusing them of being mafia. Seems like a Cop sort of thing. Aux/Mafia

Ph0X, just survive until Day 2 please. I'll decide what to do with you then.

rust45, information without much accusation. Seems kind of townie.

Two, a bit annoying, but why vote for Ph0X? If Ph0X survives another day we might have a lead.
If hes mafia, then we just need to read his posts carefully. No matter what, we should read his posts carefully.

bmin11, if you're going to complain about metagaming, don't do it yourself.

Chris, newbie or lurker. Which one could it be?

0_o, try to remember that this is HNM. The others are osu!mafia or w/e. It would be funny if you said something in
the wrong thread. I don't really need/want that.

Quy, haven't said much yet. I hope you're not mafia like last time.

DxS, I hope you don't do that time thing again. You should know how I play by now, right?


@Rolled Don't call me a lurker :( I'm supposed to be reckless player.

Chris_old
DeathxShinigami - I'm definitely not new to this community, and have actually played WWG's with you before. Why are you bringing it up in this game?

I'm keeping my vote with DeathxShinigami for now as it seemed like a bad attempt to bandwagon me out of the game for not being "apart of the community", because I don't play osu! anymore.
Rolled
Alright, at this point in time we are going nowhere and town has a 0% chance of getting a mafia lynch d1.
Instead of gathering your own biased opinions (myself included) that nobody is likely to agree on, I think the best play right now is to find the person you feel most likely to be pro-town and hop on the wagon. That said, the people currently voting are:

Chris (DxS)
DxS (Chris)
Two (Ph0x)
Rolled (rust)
animask (Rolled)

There's a 5 way tie for 1 vote, 4 are not voting.

I have reason to suspect everybody on that list except for Chris. If any of those 5 people turn out to be mafia, there's a very small chance that they're voting for fellow mafia, so I'm not going to wagon and get a townie lynched.

That said, unvote
Vote: DxS

Experimental logic. I think it's sound, though.

I'd also like to make note that DxS has posted in the other mafia game, and did not respond to Chris asking a legitimate question here.
DeathxShinigami
Huh, right Chris' statement.

Well you backed yourself well then. Just found it suspicious that it's been a year since that WWG game and you show up again into the world of osu! mafia so who knows...

Might as well

unvote

DxS wasn't holding a strong suspicion (heck, it looks more like a RVS), so I would understand if he turns hs suspicion around.

I still haven't made my thought yet and I will have to go through the thread someday >_>;;

Unvote since it's useless

It's a political term, such as when someone tries to run for public office but lacks the community ties which often times is criticized for not having. So I used the term to refer to Chris who doesn't know this community very well.

Anyways carry on~

I'm pretty sure I'm the only member of town and everybody else is mafia.

Seriously town, stop looking so suspicious.

There are some people who just "give up" or whatever when he/she got a lot of votes.
WIFOM, I think?

And most of the time, they really are town and ends up being lynched anyway.
I'm not really sure, but meh.
Quaraezha
Also, about the Experimental thing, I don't think it's something as silly as that. Maybe it has something to do with the power roles.

Some people like to play differently. I'm a townie so everybody else isn't mafia. You should get to learn how people play before
you assume they are mafia or not. I have a good idea on what your play style is like, so now I know what to do to help you.
(I'm a newbie lulz) The reason I think you're sus(s) is because you are accusing almost everyone of being mafia.
That is actually a scum tell. You seem pressured for some reason and that is why I voted for you. Chillax and don't assume like crazy. But I agree with your last statement. Townies don't really need to defend others.

I'm also trying to say that some scum tells are not logical, but more towards gut feeling.

@DxS

I think you're on the right track by seeing how all those players are related (except for Chris who I have no idea about).
They seem to be the most offensive/annoying and use insufficient logic to back their thoughts. (Rolled might be an exception.)
Sleep Powder
@bmin11

Sorry, since you're in more than 1 mafia game I guess I got mixed up.
Semi-dangerous to say (yay~), but I'm going to save and organize all the posts for
both mafia games so I don't forget. Just knowing who is in each game isn't good enough. :?

Congratulations. You skipped over two possible obvious and not-strictly-mafia causes of my actions.

I don't like players dragging the game down. I don't like players who just dick around, cause chaos, or play dumb when confronted. It really poisons game morale, and osu! mafia games don't exactly have the reputation of being highly motivated after the first day (for a number of reasons).

In a similar fashion, I don't like players throwing their hands up saying "I didn't get the role I wanted" or "I don't care about this game" and interrupting scumhunting, providing misleads, etc. That behaviour detriments the town's ability to effectively play the game, giving the mafia a leg up.

The comment, although emotional and directed, did relate to gameplay as you saw. It was more of a comment that I hope Chris doesn't play poorly in this game.

Rolled wrote:

I would recommend not including that as a factor. (That goes for you too, animask.) Then again, if you really want to use meta like that, go ahead.

Rolled commented on rust's "hypocrisy". I completely disagree that it was hypocritical of rust to make that statement against Rolled. Rolled implied that he was "done" scumhunting (as in, he had completed his hunt and found his prey) so early and quickly into the game (based on just one comment by me). rust saw this as "hasty judgement" on Rolled's part. Contrast this to a RVS vote against Chris, with the comment "I don't know you, you seem pretty shady to me." Clearly, rust isn't making judgements against Chris (as it's obviously not an "I built a case against you; defend yourself" offense). Knowing Rolled, the "what?" could have been just pointing out something silly he noticed, but then again, based on his previous gameplay, I can guess the detail also may factor into Rolled's scumhunting.

Rolled's response to rust's defense is completely weak. "You gave reasoning for your vote, saying Chris was "shady."" Uh, no? I can see how you can put meaning behind rust's words (shady => gut feeling of scum), but that is just absurd. rust's vote against Chris was clearly RVS. Also, would you prefer a hesitant vote at RVS (scum tell, IMO) or a "hasty" one (null tell in RVS)?

Also, a note to Rolled: "x is scummy" does not mean "x is a scum tell", mostly because x has context which is lost when you reword it as a scum tell. For example, rust's statement "I think you're making hasty judgements, which is pretty scummy to me." could have been better worded (for the sake of this explanation) as "I find your hasty judgements against Ph0X scummy." From this, it's clear that you cannot directly translate those words into "hasty judgements are a scum tell". Of course, I am not saying it isn't (although I personally feel it's a newb tell, not a scum tell); I am just using this example to explain my point. (This paragraph is strictly about mafia, not this game.)

Either way, the comment by DxS following Rolled's initial accusation struck me as odd:

DeathxShinigami wrote:

We got problems, rust doesn't know how to play this game.

Discuss.
It really, really irks me when people sheep like this (when I realize full well Rolled's "what", if taken as "you're being hypocritical", is complete bullshit). It makes me concerned that the shepherd will have no problems herding other players. It also makes me concerned that the sheep (DxS) is unable to be analytical. I would understand DxS's comment if it was his first game, but it is not, and he is making a derogatory comment against another player due to their (seeming) inexperience. So, to me, we lost a player (for the moment; not for the entire game, of course).

Rolled wrote:

Ignoring the light-hearted(-ish?) sarcasm in Rolled's post here, I am trying to look for the source of the "scumtell" exactly. How is a statement which is WIFOMly sarcasm (note the ";P") and completely meta (in intent; I can obviously see the gameplay affects) a scum tell? Basically, Rolled is just scumpainting me here. Setting me up for a day 2 lynch, I presume. (Typical Rolled play style, right?)

After, what, even a year, Two still holds this opinion. Break out of your comfort zone; you joined an osu! mafia game, so you participate in the osu! mafia metagame. RVS is standard practice in many mafia circles, and is effective (for all sides). Of course, as I'm sure have been told several times before, RVS ends when real discussion starts. Real discussion has already started. Hey, look! A random vote (by rust against Chris) sparked discussion! RVS is a great kickstarter, but it's not a stand-alone solution. Just ... deal with it. =\ (After writing this, I saw your comment on RVS which I must have missed earlier. Sorry if I came across as calling you a close-minded idiot. I still feel that way deep inside, but I didn't want to communicate it that harshly.)

Ph0X wrote:

I said this because of the shepherding and faulty logic (intentional or not) I noticed earlier (but could not thoroughly comment on, until now). Plus, it would be really amusing if I had a bandwagon on me, especially due to the faulty claims against me. No, I am not shivering under pressure, or whatever you (Rolled, Two, and everyone else) may have thought.

rust45 wrote:

Too much bookworming, dude. (You're showing your lack of experience, in short.) Think of the ways a double-voter would be played (in Two's shoes or even your own); I think you'd gain a lot from it.

I can see why you're discouraging DxS for his reasoning (and I completely agree), but I don't see why you're trying to get the vote off of Chris and "somewhere else". Why aren't you telling Chris to change his vote? In addition, DxS's reasoning is a "good cop-out" if DxS is a town (or of any alignment, really) who has nothing to go on, too. (Again with the scumpainting, yeah?)

These two are not mutually exclusive. Also, "knowing" the latter wouldn't mean anything, because lurking is a behaviour, and not strictly a player or role trait or tell. (It is a tell circumstantially, but in 99% of scenarios that isn't important now.)

Typo? Did you mean "most likely to be pro-mafia"?

Anyway, if you observe the last HNM, that plan didn't really work too tell day 1. Plus, I think we have much more information in this game than we did in that game; I brought up that method because there was basically no helpful discussion and we were in a time crunch.

Then contribute and stop being such a faggot? Mafia is a game where you need to be involved and participate. Clues don't just come to you; you have to go out and seek them. One way to do this is to re-read posts. Another is to look at social and voting graphs. Just do something besides waiting for a bandwagon. I have a feeling you're scum at this point, if not a harmful townie.

Yeah, well, you guys naturally gravitate toward each other. You and Rolled have similar play styles. And, of course, there's meta history. Do you really think people are dumb enough (given the meta information) not to make (at some point) the association DxS made?

The research he did about the doublevoter. Actually, now that I look again he hasn't really given much

Maybe scum...


My turn for question asking.

Question: Do you assume everyone else is townie, mafia or neutral until proven guilty? Most of the time?
Rolled
Let me first state that there is a very fine line between scum painting and scum hunting. Different players, when holding different roles, act differently. This psychology aspect of WWG/Mafia games is the sole reason why I play the game. And you can't get players to give a reaction unless you give them something to react to.

Ph0X wrote:

Congratulations. You skipped over two possible obvious and not-strictly-mafia causes of my actions.

I don't like players dragging the game down. I don't like players who just dick around, cause chaos, or play dumb when confronted. It really poisons game morale, and osu! mafia games don't exactly have the reputation of being highly motivated after the first day (for a number of reasons).

In a similar fashion, I don't like players throwing their hands up saying "I didn't get the role I wanted" or "I don't care about this game" and interrupting scumhunting, providing misleads, etc. That behaviour detriments the town's ability to effectively play the game, giving the mafia a leg up.

The comment, although emotional and directed, did relate to gameplay as you saw. It was more of a comment that I hope Chris doesn't play poorly in this game.
I don't think those other two scenarios are as obvious as you're making them out to be. A lot of people play this game cautiously, and wait for somebody to display themselves as a dumbass so they can rest well after placing their vote, especially d1. I'll admit that the other two scenarios are apparent, now, but I wouldn't have called them obvious. Given your meta it is a valid defense.

And for the record, I never intended a bandwagon to start against you nor did I expect it. However, the longer it took for you to state some well-thought ideas ITT, the more wary I became.

Not to mention, I believe I've played in every game that Chris has played in, and I never recall him behaving like you mentioned. If you wish to attack people's playstyle I think you could find a better target than Chris.

ph0x, I'd rather not have you lynched d1 because you are one of the stronger minds, and with the most experience, in this game. That's the logistic side of me. If I went with my gut, I would vote for you.

Again with this meta. Vote for me if you want. If I was mafia, I could sabotage the game for you townies, so your line of thinking turns meaningless.
The wording here by you is strange. I can label deliberate grouping-of-oneself-with-town to be scummy sometimes, but I've never seen somebody deliberately group themselves with mafia, even with the context of your sentence. You're asking somebody to call you out here with the way you've worded this.

But other than that, to comment on your idea behind this chapter of the book you wrote, it's hard to feel comfortable lynching an experienced player with the little information provided d1. Meta is an important part of every Mafia game, and successful players know how to keep their meta consistent regardless of the role they possess. Group that with the likelihood that as town, you're high on the NK priority, I don't feel exempting you from d1 lynch is a bad idea.

Maybe that's WIFOMish. But I never understood the concept of WIFOM anyway.

Maybe it isn't true, but that's flawed logic in the defending player, then. The only people that have valid reason to defend another person would be Mafia and the Cop. A town member taking some of the heat off of somebody who is possibly anti-town could easily generate false tells, which isn't beneficial for himself personally nor his faction.

I obviously don't assume everybody is mafia as that's not possible, however it's a safer bet to assume any one given person is mafia until proven otherwise. And it's important to never put all of your trust in any one person until you have very valid, and publicly accepted, reason to do so.

Everyone wants to win. I see everyone as neutral, then shift them toward townie or mafia. Sure, it leads me to keeping players on those sides (sort of a tunnel vision), but it's just how I see the game.

You may mean "when taken seriously"; rust's statement wasn't figurative. rust's initial vote wasn't meant to be taken seriously; because you took it seriously, you misinterpreted, thus leading to this name-calling argument.

There are two scenarios here (unless there's some neutral alignment):

I am town. I can use my experience to help the town greatly with scumhunting.
I am mafia. I can use my experience and meta influence to steer the town in the wrong direction.

It seems you only considered the first, not the second, case.

Different people have different perspectives. The person who is being attacked should try to defend themselves, yes. But realize there are other players in the game, and that the ideas as reasonings behind the offense and the defense can (and should) be analyzed by all other players. Faulty reasoning is dangerous (and often crafted and hidden), and if it isn't called out the mafia have a better chance of winning each time.

IMO, it's less about defending the attacked person than attacking the attacker.

Let me iterate on my original logic.

Rolled wrote:

Alright, at this point in time we are going nowhere and town has a 0% chance of getting a mafia lynch d1.
I said this because the votes were scattered evenly throughout the board. If we continued to move like this, it's impossible to get a Mafia lynch as all it would taken was one mafia member to bandwagon and get somebody lynched with 2 votes D1.

Rolled wrote:

There were RV's, there were arguable OMGUS, and there was biased reasoning (gut feelings, etc) Nobody had real meat behind any votes.

Rolled wrote:

I have reason to suspect everybody on that list except for Chris. If any of those 5 people turn out to be mafia, there's a very small chance that they're voting for fellow mafia, so I'm not going to wagon and get a townie lynched.
Of the 5/9 people voting at the time, I've come up with some reason to feel uneasy about 4 out of the 5. (rust, DxS, Two, and animask) If any of them turned out to be Mafia, which I thought (obviously) was a possibility, then they were voting for a town member. Hence I did not want to vote the same way as any of the four.

As I've said, Chris was the only person of the 5 voting that I had no reason to suspect at the time. He had the smallest chance of being Mafia in my mind. Obviously, even if he was Town, he could be voting for another member of town, but the odds are better that he isn't, when compared with everybody else. Flawed math maybe, it sounded better in my head than on paper.

As I have also stated, a bandwagon needs to start for the smallest chance of a successful d1 lynching. When I said "hop on," I meant "vote alongside the person who you thought was most likely to be town."

Innocent until proven guilty is what I go by. It's kinda close-minded but I don't like to try to directly accuse others, but look for good reasons as to why they're probably scum and let the lynch hopefully prove their guilt.

Okay, I'm back to normal...

I don't think Rolled and Ph0X are both mafia, but only because of the odds. With the third option that you posted,
I'd like to say that posting a lot can go towards townie or mafia. The only dangers of posting would be to say
something that can be considered a scum tell. I guess I'd have to go with option 2 since there isn't any other good options.

Now to answer my own question so I don't leave myself out of the results...

I'd think that most of the people I see are townies, because there are less mafia members to begin with. Then, I
would find out who is suspicious and avoid even stating an FoS until I have some good evidence to prove it. With Rolled,
I just went with my gut and also, since unvoting is allowed(sorta), I decided to vote instead of FoS. The reason for voting before an FoS
was also because I wanted to find out if Rolled was suspicious or if his playstyle was making me think that. By voting, I could
add more pressure on him and make him feel pressured.

I try to play without using much emotion to influence my ideas or thoughts.

@Rolled

Yes, the mafia will vote for a townie almost 100%. Also, I see how Chris would be on your "townie" list at the time, but what
will happen if Chris votes for someone who is currently being voted for? Have you figured out how he fits into the game then?

@Ph0X

I just realized that your acts of thinking as if you were mafia and actually getting away with it is kind of making me jealous.
--(Meta-game Zone)--
In other/previous games, I've failed to do that multiple times. In HNM1, Day 1 was when people were reading me as scum
for all my posts. Luckily, I didn't get lynched, but I had to save myself and ended up getting the Cop killed instead. The reason
for that was role-fishing. In another mafia game, I was also accused of role-fishing and had nobody else to claim as mafia and
no idea how to defend myself.
--------
The reason for this is probably because I'm horrible at looking like a pro-townie.

Also, I meant that it should be obvious that townies have less information to go by than aux/mafia (especially mafia).
Why would that be considered townie? Freudian slip... which means you're saying that you think he is townie? That doesn't seem
like enough information to go by.

@Chris

You actually make sense with your very few post(s). Rolled and Ph0X do seem experienced, but if they only try to disprove
each others ideas, then that is more like a conflict than a discussion. I see more of a discussion in their posts.

Is that enough for this post? Yeah, I think so.

Reason why I didn't ask for Rolled's experimental vote:
I thought I understood when I read his post, but after reading Rolled's elaborated post, I realized I didn't fully understood his vote. Similar (or worse since I believed I understood it) with you I guess.

Reason why I didn't say much:
Because of the same reason between you and DxS on HNM1. I couldn't really add much into it, but busy reading walls of texts and Rolled's "stop defending someone it only makes you look suspicious" post made me think again before posting (thought my posts could only be misleading Rolled's thinking)

I didn't consider that because this strategy will only be valid d1. The nightkill will hopefully provide enough information to bring up stronger points against players.

I would imagine that scumhunting and "innocent until proven guilty" need to go hand and hand.

I read a good portion.

Its really obvious to me who is taking the game seriously right now, but a few things come to mind:

1. I would really like to hear more from Quaraezha, because I don't care much for people who post multiple times with absolutely no substance.

2. I would really like to hear less from Ph0x (lol), because there is such a thing as taking it too seriously. I tried to read your walls of text but I'll have to go back to them later to actually figure out what you're getting at.

No vote for now.

The lack of votes from everybody makes it really hard to tell what direction this game will be going, and how D1 will end.

Its not really in our best interests to wait for someone to act super guilty, or role claim mafia. I just think that the way you're approaching this is all wrong.

If you look at HNM1, you would see I basically played the same way, laying low and letting others do the investigation. I realize this isn't the best way to move about, but in a game that's fun to play in (even when giving as little input as I did in HNM1 and as people say now), survival is important to me, no matter the role.

However, I don't think I'm the only one trying to lay low, Quaraezha is barely posting and when he posts, there's no substance, honestly, I think that's more suspicious if you ask me, especially since he basically acted like this in the games he was scum in.

foulcoon wrote:

I don't use RVS to scum hunt, I use it to start conversation (like that vote did do) and I honestly don't think my RVS should be related to that.

However, I will cast a FoS: Quaraezha because I want him to start talking hopefully.
bmin11
Funny how I want to vote animask, but my gut never agrees with me.

(Meta gaming) Both rust45 and Q weren't active on the last game, one was found innocent and one was guilty, but their lurkiness lead to the same result, lynch. However, they chose to do this again. I'm wondering why they are taking the same action that lead to their lynch :? It's really hard to think if they are doing this intentionaly or just their play style. Either way, I agree that it's not beneficial to townies.

Sorry for being inactive, I've been really busy working on the layout for osu!monthly since I had a deadline.
Really had no time to read so many tl;dr posts (from other Mafia games too)
I'll try to catch up when I'm free.
Once I start seeing good activity and substance I'll be fine. I'm actually really uneasy with you because you're acting like always (when looking at the other two games I was in with you) and when you act like that, you end up scum, I know meta shouldn't be used to vote on someone (at least I think so) but not talking in general is pretty scummy in itself. But for now, FoS.

again, I don't buy the cop-out posts where people say they don't have enough time to read/post in the thread

they always end up posting on other areas of the site and it takes like 5 minutes to participate
