Day 1

  • The manager of the restaurant stands near the podium and says his speech:

    I hope you're enjoying the food on your plates! I'd like to announce that you will be receiving
    even more food when the Chefs are ready again.
    They are taking a break after all of the cooking
    they have done. A round of applause for our chefs! If they were here, they would thank you for
    all your work in creating an exciting menu filled with a variety of things.....
His speech goes on for some time.....

Hi
Rantai
Oh ok.
NoHitter
Let's start of with RQS again.

RQS:
1) What is your preferred alignment?
2) What role would you want to get in a game?
3) Would you lynch lurkers?
4) Would you use meta as a tool for scumhunting?
5) How often do you plan on posting? (Please set a quantifiable date... not just "when I have something to say")

A lot of the people in this game are already in pieguy's game.
I guess those who answered already in pieguys need not post in this thread.

I dunno, the flavour makes it sound like all of us will get more powers as the chefs get ready, whenever they do.

1) Town ofc
2) A Basic Townie
3) Hm, that means i would have to lynch myself on most of the games i play so i guess not, unless it was a live or die situation
4) Um. Depends on the situation, i don't really know what this means.
5) Once every day.

1) Honestly, Mafia
2) Investigative
3) Depends on "how they lurk" and how everyone else has played so far. There's a huge difference between "suspicious" lurking and just lurking in general.
4) Generally yes, but I wouldn't base lynchs on meta alone.
5) Depends on when I have time, but it should average out at several times a day. More when others are active at the same time, less when time zones screw me.

Vote: Hernan.

Wow, this is way too quiet...
Salvage
wasn't i clear enough on the other thread lilac
Lilac
You're never clear enough.

Besides, not everyone hate RVS.
Salvage
it doesn't matter if you or anyone hates rvs, what matters is what it does, and i'm gonna post the cons about RVS again here just for you


1. rvs is full of wifom
2. totally missleading on good players
3. almost allways makes bad players look really scummy and make some safe lynchs for mafia, they will eventually do it anyways but better give them a chance right?




i really hope you improve the way you play mafia with this, or you can just be a jerk and keep sucking at D1 your call
palion
whats wifon
Salvage
let's say for example if i tell you to guess where i have a coin (left or right hand) and then i tell you it is on the right hand, i could be saying the truth, saying it so you think i'm saying the truth while im not .. and so on.


in other words, things that can't be confirmed by facts.

Why don't we at least answer to our RQS master if you guys have nothing to say.

RQS:
1) What is your preferred alignment?
2) What role would you want to get in a game?
3) Would you lynch lurkers?
4) Would you use meta as a tool for scumhunting?
5) How often do you plan on posting? (Please set a quantifiable date... not just "when I have something to say")

1) Independent.
2) Anything but a miller.
3) I don't know. Theoretically, yes, but history tells me otherwise.
4) Only for some players that has a strong play style.
5) Not as much as I used to. I might not even post for a day.


Vote: Salvage for not participating on neither of our suggested methods.

I feel like we have no base for discussion and as a result post nothing at all.

foulcoon didn't post yet despite being online, Sync posted "Hi" and left it at that.
Not that anybody else did a lot more (NoHItter at least tried to start a RQS), but I'd still like at least some content from you guys. We need to get this started, inactive threads like this is right now only help scum...

Am I going to have to make shit up to make you guys post more? :x

sorry i keep forgetting to check this thread because its not sticky, fixing that

also I'm not going to answer that RQS bullshit, my answers have not changed from like 5 games ago. anyone analyzing peoples answers to those questions is just making baseless observations.

but on a side note, Wojjan and Salvage seem to be great mafia buddies

great job you two
Luna
Oh, and Salvage. This is why RVS makes sense. It doesn't need to produce any results (and it likely won't if the players are good) but at least it usually gets *some* discussion started.
Salvage
everything gets discussion started if that's the case

you can really just say "alright let's play mafia" and get it on with most of the time, you don't need to vote someone over it
NoHitter
RVS is one possible way of giving us something to discuss about.
You can't just start playing without having something to discuss about.
Salvage
yes you can, you generate something to discuss about by talking
Luna
Then start talking about stuff.
And don't just tell us that there's no need for RVS.

So you are basically saying that you have no intention of starting discussion?
vote: Salvage
Salvage
im not, are you?

At least my vote had potential to start discussion. Your ultra-defensive playstyle doesn't. Now, please tell me how it is good town play to shut out all possibities for discussion and continuously try to shove the responsibility onto someone else - not even someone specific but just the general group of players in the game, in a way that nobody will feel responsible in the end?

Vote Luna there is just so much wrong with this post

FIRST OFF, you are voting Salvage on account of not contributing. Salvage's entire argument was that RVS doesn't create any good discussion. It's just a bunch of votes on a bunch of players and eventually you just mass unvote and that's that. If you vote a new player they fuck up and they dig themselves deeper explaining and you mislynch them and then we're even farther away. Town or scum familiar with the concept will know well enough not to trip over it, town or scum that don't know what's going on fuck themselves over. THERE IS NO WAY to get an alignment from it until you lynch someone over a possible screwup

SECOND, Salvage isn't being ultra-defensive, he is being ultra-offensive and actually discrediting a meh town strategy like randavotes over actually useful stuff like setup speculation instead of just going along with an easy lynch out of RVS, and then actually calling people out on the bullshit you among other people are throwing against him. You say Salvage is shutting off discussion but HE WENT TO SLEEP and you are voting for him because you know you can get an easy lnch on him if enough scum chime in.

THIRD, what would be the point of shoving responsibility off him and not onto anyone else? If salvage were scum, wouldn't it make infinitely more sense to actually accuse someone of being a dipshit (ample opportunities) instead of just calling everyone dipshits? Why would he not wrist a lynch out of it while he's going? YOU KEEP CALLING HIM SCUM, but he has yet to do anything scummy other than disagree with you.

what the FUCK is wrong with you
Luna
I got a reaction, mission accomplished. (Yes, that was pretty much my only intention. It worked better than expected - that Salvage himself wouldn't react was kinda obvious but it's easy enough to provoke others like you)
But since I'm nice I'll adress your points anyway:
1) I'm not calling RVS a "great method" or anything, but it certainly helps start discussion. My vote on Salvage was basically a random vote, just disguised as a serious one and your post shows how nicely it worked. As I said before - RVS is not there to find alignments or anything, it's to start discussion which is the base of every form of day-scumhunting.
2) Just saying "RVS sucks and you are all noobs if you do it" but not presenting other discussion starters is not being ultra-offensive. It's passive. I have been posting in an attempt to get at least a few posts by others. All Salvage did was saying "RVS sucks, discussion will start anyway." You see how well that has worked so far. And btw my vote was not directed towards the "I'm going to sleep" part but towards the "I'm not the one who brought it up" part which basically says "I'm not responsible for starting discussion" after he said multiple times that someone could just start it. But honestly, it wouldn't have really mattered what he posted - I would have probably voted him anyway since it DOES start discussion. Not the nicest way imaginable but at least this thread is no longer dead.
3) Again, he is discrediting all "workaround" ways to start discussion but doesn't suggest anything himself and doesn't show any initiative to change anything in this dead thread. Accusing someone randomly in RVS is no more scummy than not contributing at all.

So yeah, thanks for finally posting something <3 Even if I got a vote on me by doing so, it was worth it because a zero-discussion thread only benefits scum.
Btw, my vote on Salvage stays for now despite being a kind of RV because I still don't like his playstyle :)

The way you are considering RVS to work is FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED. The very sole trait about RVS is that you provide nothing but incredibly flimsy reasoning like "I don't like your hair." YOU CANNOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE DISGUISE AN RVS VOTE AS A SERIOSU VOTE. That does not work. The moment you build up enough of a case this late in the game, it is a serious vote. You are willingly picking a target and calling them out on scummy behavior, or at least trying to. THAT IS NOT RANDOM. What you describe is a bad vote, substantiated by nothing but false arguments against Salvage, which you cannot retract just by claiming it's an RVS vote.

Not the nicest way imaginable but at least this thread is no longer dead. Salvage was pressuring everyone and anyone who waas protecting RVS as a strategy, INCLUDING YOU. He was actively playing. IF YOU WANT OTHERS TO TALK, PROD THEM. There is no reason to vote on a million miles of bullshit just to provoke posts from other people. FURTHERMORE, YOUR LOGIC IS BS. The I'm not the one who brought it up part referred to that he wasn't the one who originally slagged RVS off, and you wre pretending he was the only dissenter in the game against it with your sassback "And don't just tell us that there's no need for RVS." Maybe that's just a really fucking bad miscommunication, but you are still twisting his words to fit your case. Salvage went to bed, and said and I FUCKING QUOTE: "we'll see tomorrow" He is NOT stopping discussion, he is LOGGING OFF FROM THE INTERNET, and you act as if he's doing jack. You ask him for a topic, he says "I'm going to bed, I'll be back tomorrow." THAT IS NOT SCUMMY. THAT IS NOT A VOTABLE OFFENSE.


3) Again, he is discrediting all "workaround" ways to start discussion but doesn't suggest anything himself and doesn't show any initiative to change anything in this dead thread. Accusing someone randomly in RVS is no more scummy than not contributing at all. NOBODY SAID RVS WAS SCUMMY. RVS is a bad way to get discussion going for the reasons I mentioned, NONE OF WHICH BY THE WAY YOU RELAYED. It is not a tactic for scum to start RVS, it's a tactic for scum to GO ALONG WITH RVS because it ALWAYS PROVIDES EASY MISLYNCHES FOR D1. I believe in unused mafia NoHItter actually got the game out of RVS really fast and we ended up lynching the mafia leader. RVS IS DEMONSTRABLY ANTI-TOWN, but that doesn't make anyone who starts it scum by definition. I am even more annoyed by the fact that YOU ARE STILL SAYING SALVAGE IS NOT CONTRIBUTING. Salvage has MORE POSTS THAN YOU, WITH MORE HANDS-ON CONTENT THAN YOURS.

I don't really care, it was still worth it. Rather pull attention onto myself than accept an autoloss due to no discussion at all.

But since I'm nice I'll adress your points anyway: NO that is how the game works that's not being nice.

What you describe is a bad vote, substantiated by nothing but false arguments against Salvage, which you cannot retract just by claiming it's an RVS vote.
My vote was not meant in a serious "I want to kill you" way and I didn't expect a response out of Salvage (so it's neither a serious nor a pressure vote). Salvage was just the person something like this would be easiest to pull off with since you already know beforehand that he won't react to a vote like that. Sure, I didn't choose him "randomly" but it could have hit anybody with that playstyle so I didn't plan to vote him or anything. Even if you don't want to call the vote itself a RV, the end result is similar and that's my whole point. You might notice that I actually don't have any real case against him and just pretended to in order to get reactions from just about anybody at all.


2) Just saying "RVS sucks and you are all noobs if you do it" but not presenting other discussion starters is not being ultra-offensive. It's passive.

Okay, seems like I misunderstood his statement and thought it referred to the "Why don't you do something to start discussion". Just to clear this up, I don't particularly care about RVS. I just care about discussion, if no discussion starts and nobody is making any attempts to start it, RVS is at least a viable tool no matter how much you may choose to deny it. Oh, and "we'll see tomorrow" is not necessarily the best idea when we have deadlines and stuff. And Salvage wasn't really pressuring people who wanted to do a RVS, he was just attacking the concept of RVS itself. he could very well have chosen someone in particular and voted him/whatever. Following youtr logic that would not have been a RV since he had a reason, so it would have definitely been an option for him. Instead, he decided to just hate on the RVS and do nothing else to actually spark discussion. Just posting "RVS sucks and you shopuld be ashamed if you like it" is not pressuring.


3) Again, he is discrediting all "workaround" ways to start discussion but doesn't suggest anything himself and doesn't show any initiative to change anything in this dead thread.

Salvage has MORE POSTS THAN YOU, WITH MORE HANDS-ON CONTENT THAN YOURS.
I think you misunderstood me. I didn't claim anybody said RVS was scummy. It was directed towards your post where you suggested that instead of what he is currently doing, Salvage would have more/bigger advantages by RVing someone. I just stated that RVing may help scum in some circumstances, but not doing anything to start discussion is just as good.




Btw, my vote on Salvage stays for now despite being a kind of RV because I still don't like his playstyle :) FUCK YOU
U mad? :D
Rantai
Oh my god, over reaction.

I've already gone over my gripes with Salvage's reasoning behind his playstyle in another thread (not the playstyle itself). I can see where Luna is coming from and in part I agree. However the deflection that the vote was a RV in disguise is extremely weak, to the point where I think you're trying to dig yourself out of a shallow hole but ended up digging deeper. Not sure if that was a slip up or just the way you are.

Though my bigger concern is the apparent weak walls of text (of suspect amounts of 'emotion' for lack of better words) that Wojjan is spitting out. Maybe it's because I don't understand 50% of what he/she/it is saying but the whole thing just screams of "omg omg you attack Salvage, I rage".

It seems far too out there for a mafia this early in the game but I am not going to dismiss it this time because I know Wojjan is one of the less straight forward players.

Edit: English failure.
Rantai
Oh god a ninja, now to read again >.>
palion
rvs worked on that other game, we lynched mafia leader (TBTE) D1

but that was probably extreme luck
Rantai
That wasn't RVS that was based on a testimony from DxS (we probably shouldn't discuss on going games)

The main reason I am having INCREDIBLE difficulty even believing that you aren't just scrabbling out of a losing battle by claiming that you didn't mean it is the way you phrased it. NOTHING in that ENTIRE POST can be interpreted as not serious. YOU DID HAVE A CASE, IT WAS JUST A BAD CASE. Your argument doesn't make sense in the slightest, but you can't use that to cover up the fact that you're still maknig an argument. Maybe you are scum, or just a bad town player, but it is too late for tricks like this. At this point on day one you cannot make a vote with deliberate intentional bad reasons.

2) Just saying "RVS sucks and you are all noobs if you do it" but not presenting other discussion starters is not being ultra-offensive. It's passive. I have been posting in an attempt to get at least a few posts by others. All Salvage did was saying "RVS sucks, discussion will start anyway." You see how well that has worked so far. And btw my vote was not directed towards the "I'm going to sleep" part but towards the "I'm not the one who brought it up" part which basically says "I'm not responsible for starting discussion" after he said multiple times that someone could just start it. But honestly, it wouldn't have really mattered what he posted - I would have probably voted him anyway since it DOES start discussion. Not the nicest way imaginable but at least this thread is no longer dead. Salvage was pressuring everyone and anyone who waas protecting RVS as a strategy, INCLUDING YOU. He was actively playing. IF YOU WANT OTHERS TO TALK, PROD THEM. There is no reason to vote on a million miles of bullshit just to provoke posts from other people. FURTHERMORE, YOUR LOGIC IS BS. The I'm not the one who brought it up part referred to that he wasn't the one who originally slagged RVS off, and you wre pretending he was the only dissenter in the game against it with your sassback "And don't just tell us that there's no need for RVS." Maybe that's just a really fucking bad miscommunication, but you are still twisting his words to fit your case. Salvage went to bed, and said and I FUCKING QUOTE: "we'll see tomorrow" He is NOT stopping discussion, he is LOGGING OFF FROM THE INTERNET, and you act as if he's doing jack. You ask him for a topic, he says "I'm going to bed, I'll be back tomorrow." THAT IS NOT SCUMMY. THAT IS NOT A VOTABLE OFFENSE.

Okay, seems like I misunderstood his statement and thought it referred to the "Why don't you do something to start discussion". Just to clear this up, I don't particularly care about RVS. I just care about discussion, if no discussion starts and nobody is making any attempts to start it, RVS is at least a viable tool no matter how much you may choose to deny it. Oh, and "we'll see tomorrow" is not necessarily the best idea when we have deadlines and stuff. And Salvage wasn't really pressuring people who wanted to do a RVS, he was just attacking the concept of RVS itself. he could very well have chosen someone in particular and voted him/whatever. Following youtr logic that would not have been a RV since he had a reason, so it would have definitely been an option for him. Instead, he decided to just hate on the RVS and do nothing else to actually spark discussion. Just posting "RVS sucks and you shopuld be ashamed if you like it" is not pressuring.
The entire point I'm making is that RVS is not a good tool to incite discussion. I don't think you read anything at all that I wrote. The deadline should have been a day ago, but because of modly absence the day is extended indefinitely. Why do you fence that as an argument against Salvage too? How is that related to anything I said? Why would you not allow Salvage to log off?! PLEASE READ WHAT YOU TYPE. YOU ARE REPRIMANDING SALVAGE FOR GOING TO BED IN REAL LIFE.

READ THE SECOND PART OF MY POST AGAIN. I am saying that scum would do exactly what you are describing: find a scapegoat to shove the blame on, vote them, get a bandwagon going. Salvage DIDN'T. That is PRO-TOWN, INFINITELY MORE THAN WHAT SHIT YOU'RE TRYING TO PULL.

3) Again, he is discrediting all "workaround" ways to start discussion but doesn't suggest anything himself and doesn't show any initiative to change anything in this dead thread. Accusing someone randomly in RVS is no more scummy than not contributing at all. NOBODY SAID RVS WAS SCUMMY. RVS is a bad way to get discussion going for the reasons I mentioned, NONE OF WHICH BY THE WAY YOU RELAYED. It is not a tactic for scum to start RVS, it's a tactic for scum to GO ALONG WITH RVS because it ALWAYS PROVIDES EASY MISLYNCHES FOR D1. I believe in unused mafia NoHItter actually got the game out of RVS really fast and we ended up lynching the mafia leader. RVS IS DEMONSTRABLY ANTI-TOWN, but that doesn't make anyone who starts it scum by definition. I am even more annoyed by the fact that YOU ARE STILL SAYING SALVAGE IS NOT CONTRIBUTING. Salvage has MORE POSTS THAN YOU, WITH MORE HANDS-ON CONTENT THAN YOURS.
I think you misunderstood me. I didn't claim anybody said RVS was scummy. It was directed towards your post where you suggested that instead of what he is currently doing, Salvage would have more/bigger advantages by RVing someone. I just stated that RVing may help scum in some circumstances, but not doing anything to start discussion is just as good.
I didn't claim anybody said RVS was scummy.
Accusing someone randomly in RVS is no more scummy than not contributing at all.
So am I to understand that you are full of shit or that you're promoting lurking as townstrat?

I thing you have a far too gross expectation of the amount of posts in a game, especially one this small, with the mod gone, day hung on hold indefinitely and the deadline being long past. DISCUSSION IS NOT DEAD. BESIDES, Salvage didn't even withhold any discussion, he said he was going to start discussion TOMORROW, AFTER GOING TO BED. WHY DO YOU ONLY READ PARTS OF POSTS.

Btw, my vote on Salvage stays for now despite being a kind of RV because I still don't like his playstyle :) FUCK YOU U mad? :D YES VERY.

I'm not really sure what to think of this argument between Wojjan and Luna. It's possible that Salvage and Wojjan are both mafia and trying to protect each other, but isn't that too obvious? It makes me feel as if a scenario like that is almost impossible -- unless of course they planned this, in which case they're aiming for a hit or miss.

...however, it's clearly not worth a vote yet. We'll see how things progress
Luna
Do you seriously think I'd believe that it would be possible to lynch Salvage D1 over something trivial like that? Even if all scum did hop on a potential wagon, it's D1 so we would still need a TON of townie votes. And while most people here are certainly no pros at the game, I have enough faith in them to be convinced that they wouldn't blindly hammer over something like that. You said yourself that my attack was completely baseless and doesn't make real sense, don't you think at least some other players would have noticed that as well? I agree btw, the attack sucked. Because it wasn't supposed to kill anyone.
Again, as I already said in my first post, I would have voted Salvage pretty much regardless of what he'd post. Unlucky timing that he had to go to bed right then. And what's that about the day being indefinitely on hold? Did I miss something? As far as I know Backfire is currently hosting while animask is gone and he is still here. Deadline is not yet over either, I think you are confusing games or something (Or I missed something huge lol).

@the two quotes about scumminess of RVS:
I said that lurking/doing nothing is AT LEAST as scummy as pushing a random lynch. So how exactly do you read that as "lurking is a good town strat"?

Oh man when was the last time I saw a textwall that big

You said you never called RVS scum, then I pointed out exactly where you called RVS scum. The only reason that could have worked is if you meant lurking is just as scummy as RVS (not at all) (that is not true) (you are bad at this)

Luna do you know what a vote means? A vote is basically "THIS IS THE PERSON I WANT DEAD TODAY." You do not just throw them around like they're sparklers or something. You can use them as a warning, but you don't use them just to get things going. That's why RVS is bad, and that's why your logic is bad and that's why if you do not get lynched today I will not hesitate to pursue your lynch any next day.
Luna
There is a difference between RVS in general and pushing a random lynch. RVS is not scummy in itself, pushing a random lynch is. You just took the quotes out of context to make them look ridiculous.
Let me explain step-by-step how these quotes came into existence:

THIRD, what would be the point of shoving responsibility off him and not onto anyone else? If salvage were scum, wouldn't it make infinitely more sense to actually accuse someone of being a dipshit (ample opportunities) instead of just calling everyone dipshits? Why would he not wrist a lynch out of it while he's going?
Here you say that instead of stopping discussion (what I was accusing him of), he'd rather push for a random lynch since it'd benefit him more. To that I replied with:
Accusing someone randomly in RVS is no more scummy than not contributing at all.
By that, I meant that as scum he could certainly push for a random lynch. But just doing nothing and leaving town without discussion (again, what I accused him of) would be at least as good, if not better in the long run. This post DOES NOT say that RVS is scummy or anything, just that the benefits scum could pull out of RVS are not bigger than those they get out of lurking/hindering discussion.

Also, the other quote doesn't say that I'd never called RVS scummy, it says that I didn't accuse anybody of saying just that. But that's kinda besides the point since it's true that I didn't call RVS scummy.

And votes do not only say "I want you dead", they are also a tool for scumhunting. Ever heard of pressure voting etc? Hell, your beloved Salvage does it all the time. Or look at any game with Two - I can almost guarantee he'll vote for about half the players on D1, does that mean he wants all of them dead or that he is awful?

I am pretty sure that JUST NOW you admitted that you didn't want to pressure but just wanted conversation and that alone.

your beloved Salvage

I've said that pretty clearly since the beginning. If you want to re-read some of my posts, I rather clearly state that I just wanted a reaction from someone so we can have a starting point for some discussion (or "conversation" as you choose to call it) and I also said at multiple points that I didn't expect a reaction from Salvage himself, so I didn't really pressure him.

so if you don't want salvage dead and you don't want to pressure hiw WHY ARE YOU FUCKING VOTING HIM

do you read your posts or do you just yell at a stenographer
Luna
My post about voting was an example. Lynching and Pressuring are not the only uses for votes. My vote was what you could call a "bait vote" to bait reactions from elsewhere. There's also distancing votes and stuff like that =) (Read my post againt, there's a little "etc" after "pressure voting" indicating that those are not the only possible uses of votes)
Wojjan
there is NO SUCH THING, bait votes are only used by scum trying to weasel out of a bad post.

foulcoon, if you dont mind, can you change the title to day 1? (you can do that right?)

Unvote

Salvage's disapproval on RVS seem more of a dismotivating, not pressuring. On the other hand, it also seems like an attempt on generating a discussion, only it ended up "well why don't you give us a better option, smartass?"

Even though I agree on every parts with you, you REALLY REALLY look like you are trying to protect Salvage. The usual scenario would 1) Salvage posts a poorly worded defense 2) People takes it as a suspicious post 3) lynch (no hard feelings though). For a person like you, who highly respects Salvage as a mafia player, this may be a natural action. However, you action felt a bit too hasty on timing and *ahem* unusually aggressive. I would have understood if you protected Salvage by rewording Salvage's post for town, but you jumped in right away with a high confident in Salvage being the town side. I would like you to explain why you were so convinced that Salvage is pro-town?

Until then, Vote: Wojjan
