No, scum get chat during pre-game, so they want to delay the start of the game as much as possible so they can talk and hence usually confirm last, which is why most mods usually start at 7/9 confirmed to prevent this.
Knarf
I thought there's a column in profile called 'last active'.
Very easy to determine if the person really wanted to delay.
rEdo
it's highly reliable on the timezone, though. I confirmed at 4 AM didn't even do it correctly due to no-sleep derp, while getting a role PM two hours beforehand, and I was like... fifth, or even sixth. I guess trying to hunt scum by looking whoever confirmed last isn't a good idea, it won't confirm anything o.o
Sakura
It's still something to go off instead of RVS, also there was a point in time where the only people that hadn't confirmed were kookookook and Irreversible.

Interesting generalization there. How do you know that this game has pre-game chat?

If it's the same setup as the one in the wiki link that appeared, and is a newbie game, then it's very likely scum does not have daychat.

Or maybe im just assuming things due to playing this setup over 10 times.

Wrong. Scum don't want a 1v1 they most likely won't win.

Now you're just going into fake analysis territory.
Amianki
I've yet to see a single mafia game where mafia don't get pre-game chat. It's a very safe assumption.

What do you guys think the set-up is? I think it'll not be 1 or B as these set-ups are too boring.

Trying to persuade someone to vote other which has a vote already in D1 is a mafia behaviour.
Only mafia will try to end the day as soon as possible.

Wagons give information, putting votes everywhere without reason doesn't.

@kookookook: why do you want to know about the setup?

It's the reaction test that I'd like to see how Sakura reacted.
His reaction was obviously scum.

Better question, what's the motivation behind trying to speculate about the setup.

If it was really a Reaction Test then pray tell what were you looking for as a "Townie reaction"

Your first post, but not the second.
Sakura
So saying you're scum for IIoA was townie but asking CalignoBot for voting you for the same reason is scummy?
Knarf
Asking CalignoBot to vote. ppl will vote in their posts if they think it's necessary. Rushing is never a good way, especially in the start of a day.
Sakura
No reply huh? Well not like I was expecting you to reply so quick but I was expecting something before going to sleep.

At least now there's enough information to go around and start scumhunting, and I'm gonna be mad if I see people doing more RVS stuff (I'm looking at you Saki... just kidding)
Sakura
Oh nvm, you actually replied while i was typing.
Sakura

I disagree. Rushing is a good way to start getting reads from people out of reactions and forming stances based on the current wagons, which gives scum less places to hide.

Btw, reaction tests are only reaction tests when they catch people by surprise, all your "Reaction test" did was make you look more scummy, if you're somehow town i suggest you change your way of approaching things because you arent doing very well.
Sakura
In either case, gotta head to bed, work tomorrow, hope to see more activity in this thread.
Knarf
Good night then. Actually I would like to reply...

So this was a "reaction test" directed to Sakura? really?
Maybe I should Vote: kookookook.

Keep in mind that mafia already has some knowledge of the setup, based on if they have a roleblocker or not.

yup, they can narrow up to two possibilities: either {B, C, 1, 3} if they've got two Goons or {A, 2} if they've got a roleblocker, which I hope isn't the case this time. we have no idea what's the scenario, though, so I guess it would be safer to consider that they've got a roleblocker, just in case it's actually true.

Not always. I can remember this really well of my first mafia game.

If so then explain to me how wagons dont give information and how puttinv votes everywhere without reason helps finding scum.

Wait, could you explain exactly which part of his posts showed inside info? I get the IIoA and Fishing from his setup speculation post, but not the inside info part.

This is pinging to me slightly. You don't like to use outside experience, but you just stop voting Sena because of what Sakura posted?

He seems to know close to what setups are in play.
Jinxy
That does not answer my question at all

Which part of his posts
Sakura
This one.

kookookook wrote:

Jinxy
...Yes, and I'm asking how that's inside info. It's major IIoA and minor rolefishing, but I don't see how thinking it's not certain setups is knowing something we don't.
Sakura
He's already ruling out 2 possible setups for apparently no reason.
Sakura
Wait a second, how the heck, is that statement major IIoA (the IIoA part i was talking about was the 7 in 9 chance of someone being town, which is weird to point out specially after I mentioned how useless that statement was). It's unknown information so it cant be IIoA.
Jinxy
Oh. Well, I thought that was what you meant by IIoA, from the wiki statement: "players who speculate about the setup more than they ask for other players' reasoning and/or accuse other players of being scum are probably group scum". I don't usually use all these terms myself.
Sakura
It pretty much depends on context and wording, setup speculation at that point is no information, NOR analysis (There's nothing to analyze about the setup yet as there aren't no flips or claims)
Jinxy
Ok, I see. Back to the other thing:

Sakura wrote:

I can see where you're coming from, but to me it reads more as a really dumb reason (can't be x because x is boring) than no reason. Besides, if he did know inside information which allows him to rule out setups, I really don't think he would just freely talk about it, even as a random post.

That's all that caught my attention for now, going to bed soon. Would be nice if Cali talked a bit about why he just dropped Sena despite being "against using outside experience for meta arguments". Night.
Sakura
If you know me, you'd know I analyze anything (even RVS reasons), due to the fact that in the very first pages of the game scum still hasn't settled into it, and all the information people have for starting to find information is their Role PM, maybe such things wont become apparent now, but as the game goes on you'll realize that most probably he has a reason for saying those things.

Also i do totally see your point on CalignoBot it's pinging me in the wrong direction as well since you mentioned it, so I'd like to hear his answer to that as well.
rEdo
kook's saying that these setups are boring could be­ a slight way to claim a role, you know. he could've wanted to narrow up the possible setups, in order for us to give hints about his role, so I wouldn't be that sure about suspecting him right away.

but yeah, I kinda question myself what would be the reason for that...
Sakura
In that case it makes it even MORE suspicious, no PR would give him/herself away this soon without heavy fire at them, consider that he started getting voted by other people after that statement, not before.
rEdo
sounds interesting if that's how you think of it. I'd like to hear something from him first, though. kook, why did you think these two setups aren't likely to happen? are you really a PR, or just trying to cover up something you don't know?

It was just really shitty wording.

What I mean is using someone else's experience outside of your own. It's all well in good to understand how people think from playing with them several times, but it's a lot less convincing when someone with little to no experience playing with that person to go back to games they didn't play in to try to figure out how that person thinks second-hand.

Basically, going through and meta-diving is pretty useless in my eyes and I'm willing to accept the premise is true for now.
Sakura
People need to post more often.

CalignoBot: You asked me if Saki is always like this, I said yes, I never said he was town, in fact I said he can pull this as either alignment (keyword being: "always") is that strong enough for you to unvote him?
Amianki
I was more asking whether trying to put pressure on him is going to be useful at all. The fact that you stated he was and were willing to prove it so easily is enough to convince me at this stage.
Sakura
@Mod: prod anyone that can be prodded
Amianki
SenaSaki, kookookook, Royston, Irreversible, and Dake.
rEdo
I wonder if we're the only four that are actually into this game, huh. ._."
Sakura
Speaking of Saki here's one thing you should be aware of, Saki loves to quickhammer regardless of alignment, so be careful with putting people at L-1

Sakura wrote:

Well, some people might not really analyze the situation, don't know what to vote, and just vote something, that they voted something.
Sakura, I saw that you analyze the game pretty closely all the time, which is a good thing, yet I can't really appreciate it, since you put pressure on one person, and at the end you vote him for those reasons, just because he wrote something, without much relation to the other people.


@Dake, a silly vote for kookook because he wanted to make a reaction test? are there any other reasons, or did your mind change ?

Some more activity would really be cool, since I can only see sakura main posting.. and some others.
Sakura
I am looking at the other people actually, seeing the tone and motivation behind their posts in the way they vote or stay off the wagon or push something else, wagons generate reactions, not necessarily only from the person being wagoned but from the people outside of the wagon (like what you're replying right now) even if the votes were random.

Here's some insight for you, do you really think that people just roll a die and vote whoever the die tells them? All people have at the start of the game is the information on their Role PM, as much as they want their votes to be random, they won't be.

If by the end everyone has voted and everyone has 1 vote on them, then yeah that won't give much info, which is why I encourage people getting at least 2 votes (or 3 or 4 in larger games) during RVS, then people are forced to take a stance, which eliminates hiding places for scum.

I know your stance already, you dont think kookookook is scum, which is why you're doubting the wagon is heading in the right direction, that's already info to work with, even without you directly participating in the wagon.
Sakura
Btw Irre, the mod never posted that he issued prods, yet you came back right away when I asked for you (among others) to be prodded, so you literally just showed that you are indeed reading the thread but not posting, you're actively lurking, why?

Never said I don't think he's not scum, and yeah good point with the wagonning. Then go on working with things you've just invented (the scum part), if it'll help you, why not.

About the posting, as soon as I came back i've wrote that I will post my statement later, what I've actually done. But I really don't think i need to prove that I was away for overnight and didn't have access to the internet. School Sakura, School.

This part isn't quite reading right to me for some reason. Like, he considers votes on kook "silly", and then tries to back out of Sakura's interpretation that he thinks kook isn't scum, a bit too defensively.

What's WK, by the way?
