he's like an injured dog, the closer you corner him the more aggressive he's gonna get

so you're trying to defend him then? You clearly don't want him to become cornered (and thus act aggressive). Why? He your mafia buddy or something? Why aren't you questioning me for not voting swiftwolf to save myself?

You're helping me, and if your statement is true, then why are you helping the mafia?

You don't have any proof that I'm scum, or even suspicious. And don't bring up what's already been brought up, that doesn't work.

Swifttail is super defensive over random votes and won't vote for lybydose to put them over the lynch mark

so actually if you voted lybydose you'd be saving yourself from a lynch

pieguy1372 wrote:

I always vote on my gut day 1. It's just basic statistics, the less information you have the higher the sample variance is and the higher chance you will have a false positive with a lower critical value. As a result, on day 1 there really isn't enough information to make a substantiated claim unless someone does something really obvious = =//

I also found it somewhat suspicious how you didn't do RVS "because people didn't like it"...anything to get information is good IMO. Yes, RVS itself doesn't give much information, but it would have definitely started a conversation that could lead to information.

I would totally vote Swifttail right now, except meta apparently excuses him? (rantai, I looked through both Mind Games, he didn't seem to be in there)

self preservation above all d1

that's not hard to understand

Yes, but you don't self preservation vote until nearing the deadline.

Chris: Uggh, your posts remind me of Two except not as egocentric and obnoxious.

pieguy1372 wrote:

Also, in every game I played the person lynched D1 was lynched "because he was suspicious" and he was always town. This is just basic statistics at hand as I mentioned before, especially when you consider the mafia tries to NOT be suspicious... This is just my idea of how to play the game, and IMO it's worked a lot better than lynching town members who screw up, instead of actually showing signs of wanting to hinder town progress or mislead us. >.>

How did what pieguy make you think we're both scum?

@Chris
So you still think that one should prioritize self-preservation over information in voting long before the deadline?

Rolled wrote:

Everything in this game is speculations. You can't even take the information you receive from the host as fact, as you now know ^__^

With your logic, a vanilla townie would just RV the whole way through a mafia game. All they have is speculation.

I feel you're underestimating the usefulness and power of speculation, though.

Rolled wrote:

So what's classified as information as opposed to speculation?

Rolled wrote:

Do you realize how little in mafia is confirmed? Nine times out of ten a decision must be made without previous confirmation on whether it's good or bad.

This is really derailing the thread though. I'm just showing flaws in your argument.

Rolled wrote:

Nobody is arguing that information on d1 is generally lower than information in later days. What people are arguing is that there is no information to be gathered day 1.

Rantai wrote:

And there lies the disagreement (that I have at least).

I see information as anything that can be used to read a player, whether that be 'speculation' or otherwise. At the very least it could help with choosing a D1 lynch as opposed to blindly picking or 'gut voting'.

.....Wow ninjas.

Rolled wrote:

So are you suggesting that we do not have more information on you than we have against somebody who has posted 0 times?

This conversation is such a derailer so just admit you are wrong and be on with it.

Rolled wrote:

I gathered that you're bad at mafia

Rolled wrote:

If a hypothetical situation arises in which a bus driver were to switch you with player x, and player x dies, it's more likely that you are a strongman rather than you shooting yourself anticipating my switch. Hypothetically.

See, I concluded that due to information I gathered on day 1.

tell me then what you've gathered from me posting? I'd love to hear this

Well you could say I've gathered that you don't believe anything that is unconfirmed as useful

Which is fine, we're all entitled to our own opinion.

But also, my initial thoughts of you back when you were fueling the fires under Swift and Lybydose was "why are you doing this?"

So yes, what were you hoping to find/achieve with that? Somehow I don't think your intention was for them to vote each other.

Rantai wrote:

To be honest, I would have thought voting last minute would have been the smarter way to do so because voting the person with the most/second most votes would've raised a few eyebrows. Especially if it was only based on saving themselves.

It's now Day 1. You have 72 hours from this post until nightfall.

That's september 19th 12:13 am EST, september 18th 9:13 pm PST afaik correct me if I'm wrong

Chris wrote:

that's where the bandwagon comes in though, especially with mafia members

see someone with a bunch of votes, add on another, next person does the same all to just confirm their place at least past d1

if you don't take the offensive you're just going to end up getting voted for

just like whats happening with swifttail now since he decided to pout rather than vote

akrolsmir wrote:

Swift, instead of talking about yourself (which you don't seem to be very good at), how about you tell us who you think is suspicious?

Chris: Really? If I really was mafia, and he was, too, why would he attack me? That's not a good tactic, especially if it's D1.

New plan guys, everyone who isn't mafia say so.

Swiftwolf Yellowtail wrote:

I'm going to be honest, what I say is the truth. I know that I've been acting like a complete idiot, but if I lied to you, I personally wouldn't say "to be blunt," but if you want to think that I am the mafia, go right ahead. I'm not gonna stop you. Just keep in mind that last game, when this EXACT SAME THING happened, I turned up town. (I'm confusing myself when I say this, because I clearly said that I didn't want to bring this back up, but here I am, doing it anyway. I'm such a hypocrite.)
