Its Hoopla's fault because she's the one that begun oddly which has put me out of sorts. I've played Mafia before on forums, yes.Fenchurch wrote:

I've played a lot of games and never been as confused as I am now.

This is really lame. I don't see how Hoopla can possibly be sabotaging your ability to play. This sounds like just an excuse to park your vote somewhere and then not do anything else because the person you're voting for has somehow caused you to be unable to do anything else. Frankly if you're confused then it's your fault, you need to read and understand the game. It's not Hoopla's fault.Da Mafia Godfather wrote:Its Hoopla's fault because she's the one that begun oddly which has put me out of sorts. I've played Mafia before on forums, yes.

I am hunting for scum and analysing people's posts but because of Hoopla's actions I can't get a general feel for the game (for example because the game didn't begin in an orderly fashion with everybody making a couple of posts on page 1 I keep on forgetting that Stefunny and CA are in this game which throws my whole analysis and thinking out of whack.)Fenchurch wrote:Da_Mafia_Godfather wrote:I might be alone here but apart from this question I have not the first clue of what to do.

This is super-weak. My theory: DMG is town in his other games and scum here, and trying to cover up the fact that he doesn't know how to pretend to scumhunt when he's scum.Da_Mafia_Godfather wrote:I've played a lot of games and never been as confused as I am now.

That's what I'm doing. I am one of the few players who is voting scum after all.Unusual things happen, just do your best to adapt and figure it out. You're a mafia player - it's what you need to do.-

No I'm voting you because you purposely confused me.Hoopla wrote:You're voting me because you think the game is confusing.
I haven't got a completed game.Have you been scum before? If so, can you link to the game?
This is a seven player game. I'm forgetting them because everyone didn't begin the game on equal footing. Hoopla took pains to make it so that when day begun this was "The Hoopla Show" and as such the only people I can recall are those that were players in The Hoopla Show.How is it Hoopla's fault if you're forgetting that certain people are, you know, in the game?
Her distracting pre-game play meaning the day begun partway through the day only that is (of course) impossible.
Can you identify what Hoopla did to confuse you, and why it confused you?
If it was me then I'd be confused in my other game. I might be the only person who can fall for Hoopla's trick. That doesn't change the fact that it was Hoopla's trick.How is this a failure on Hoopla's part and not your own?
Honestly I haven't seen CA and Stefunny play as well as I'd expect from other games (CA especially) so I don't really agree with your premise.You raised the idea that, because you did not have this problem in other games, then it must be a result of Hoopla's actions. However, if that is so, then why does no one else seem confused?
Well I don't know but the instigator, the one who put the most effort in and the one that gloated about the confusion caused "You can't vote me the game hasn't started" (not an exact quote) was Hoopla.How do you know it was Hoopla and not someone else who confused you?-

When did I say I couldn't get reads on people?
Don't be deliberately obtuse, are you seriously arguing that Adulskey didn't make 14/15 posts before the game had begun (AKA helping Hoopla with her deliberate anti-town play)? Can you honestly say that with a straight face?Stefunny wrote:Da_Mafia_Godfather wrote: And I don't understand how Ald helped Hoopla with any anti-town play.

People playing to the town win condition will not post a lot in pre-game because you're wasting what is a very useful part of the game (to look back on once you've got some flips) spamming. Therefore since you've only got the scum (and idiots) posting pre-game you've got the scum (and idiots) having a monopoly on the thread. Scum (and idiots) having a monopoly over the thread is clearly bad for the town.Fenchurch wrote:
I still don't follow the cause-effect here. Why is posting in pregame any more confusing that waiting and posting after? People will have already received their roles; reads can be made. This is craplogic as far as I can tell.Da_Mafia_Godfather wrote:

Alduskel: I'm hoping that by ISOing enough I'll remember it eventually.
I'm not psychic and I doubt Hoopla is either. Hoopla's actions were anti-town (Do you really think Hoopla went into this game thinking, "If I post a lot pre-game, that will cause other players to not remember other players who didn't participate in the discussion!"?Iknow that for a fact. I think Hoopla could have guessed that it would hurt town somehow even if she didn't know the specifics.
Well of Stefunny posts #1 and #2 contain excuses for not contributing as well as she could, 3 is a statement of the obvious, 4 is an agreement that doesn't go anywhere and I may be bias here but Stef's attempts in #5 to make my suspicion of Hoopla sound like some sort of pseudo-RVS shows a lack of knowledge about the chronology of this game.
Ald: Other than the benefits of "starting the game quickly" (which has no benefits just to clarify) what pro-town motive can you prescribe to Hoopla's pre-game play?-

Stef;Iknow that its anti-town because its made me play worse for sure. Its possible that I got confused with somebody else, I remember being confused when I saw your join date.
I can actually agree with the back up claim. We've got quite a bit of day 1 and as such we'll be able to look at the way people have played with the confirmed inocent.-

2. Yeah, well where the hell did you get those town reads? You can't just say that I look less town than other people without explaining why I look less town.
3. I quest for information. That is very typical town behavior. If I seem overly careful then I think it's more logical to think that that's just my playstyle. Feel free to meta me, I have a wiki entry.
And I am not the backup.
2. Reading. I'm giving my thought processes. I'm not even voting you. When I'll do that I'll explain how Fenchurch and Andrew are clearly looking for the best way to help town in each of their posts.
3. I'll do that now.-

Yes but general mafia theory would suggest that town would be less likely to focus on their post looking for hypothetical questions that need to pre-empted.Alduskkel wrote:Oh, that was me being dumb and not remembering stuff either.
So since I've been misunderstanding your case for I don't know how long now I'll start over in responding to it.
For starters, quoting where I've been clarifying would be nice. For the one instance you quoted, I was drawing up a contrast between Hoopla (who some thought was scummy) and ConfidAnon. I will freely admit that I foresaw possible questioning about Hoopla vs. ConfidAnon and preemptively answered a hypothetical question. Could the part in parentheses have been omitted? Sure. I don't think it's scummy, given that if someone had questioned me about it then I would have given the same answer, only later.-

It would make my original point null but Hoopla would still be the scummiest player (lots of posts, not a single one that gives me a town read.)Does the fact that she used a similar opening in a game where she was town have any bearing on your opinion?

Because CA hasn't posted enough game content to say "yeah, he should've dropped a town tell by now"Or at least, why is it any more suspicious than other players you have a neutral read on?
Confirmed: StefWho are your current town reads?
Almost Certain: Andrew, Fenchurch
Probably (though I'd still lynch him at deadline): Ald-

Wow, we're lucky that you're confirmed (seriously debating that merits of a back up clim after the claim in order to look good, seriously.)Stefunny wrote:At this point in the game I don't even start looking at "town tells" I think they are easily faked D1 and usually are scum TRYING to look town.Da_Mafia_Godfather wrote:Because town (if they had posted as much as yourself) would've dropped a town tell. Its as simple as that.
Can you explain what you mean by a "town tell"? I know it seems obvious, but how many town tells aren't easily imitated by scum?
I've been trying to figure out how I feel about CAs disappearance. I have two thoughts about why it happened the way it did: Either he got bored because he had a role that he didn't prefer or he was scum and realized that his poor posting and absence was going to make it very difficult for him to dig himself out of the scum hole he created whether he was scum or not. I don't feel lynching CA/Fritz would tell us anything at this point. Maybe we can wait until a little closer to deadline before we make a decision on that spot.
Hoopla I feel like in the last few pages you've focused really really hard on CA and why we should lynch CA and where is the replacement with CA? It feels like you've focused so much on that slot that you almost ignored the rest of the posts.
Fenchurch does a really good job of sliding around under the radar. I don't necessarily think Fen is scum but I don't have much feelings toward her at all, which makes me a little nervous.
I believe at least ONE scum is using the CA wagon as an easy kill because I don't think the reasoning is good enough to justify CA/Fritz being at L-1.
I'm not experienced with the 'back-up claim' scenario, but I think that as well as narrowing down who could be scum wealsonarrowed down who could be a PR FOR the scum. That thought just keeps sitting in the back of my head. Are back up claims common in this sort of set up? If I die N1 will it change your perception of those who were asking for claims?
My vote is still on DMG, I think taking DMG to a lylo situation would be dangerous, I honestly think DMG is more of a confusion than Hoopla ever was.
Town tell is something in a post that suggests a player is more likely to be town than if they didn't make that tell. Whether its fakable or not is dependent entirely on the skill of the reader (just like with scum tells really.)
Stef: Who's scum? Do you think purposely trying to get to LyoL is pro-town?-

I think you're taking that out of context. It was a direct result of Alduskel misreading a quote and from that making him think I used a word incorrectly.Fenchurch wrote:DMG - I feel that to a certain extent in the early game he was deliberately playing dumb, trying to get some newb-slack, to the point where Ald asked if he english was his first language. This doesn't seem like townie behaviour to me
Hoopla's last post ewas a lot of words but taught me absolutely nothing. I don'ty see it as town at all.-

All three of these were a given.Fenchurch/Empking aren't scum together.
Fenchurch/Fritzler aren't scum together
Empking/Fritzler aren't scum together.
Another given.Andrew is the wildcard as I said earlier, but he's individually less scummy than everyone here, even if he fits into more possible scumpairs.
Theory rather than scumhunting.I think in smaller games, and in endgames of larger ones, it's necessary to try and weed out partners, as it's easy to be incorrect on individual behavioural tells. A much stronger play is to find someone scummy, then also figure out if they work with other players as scum - and in this game, I think there are several pairs I can safely rule out, minimising their chances of being scum overall.
Alduskel being scum? Possibly logical but its clearly born out of a faulty premise so pretty darn pointless.-

Seriously Hoopla. Who's scum with Ald? Its not me, you, Stef, Fritz, Ald, Fenchurch. So if we rule out Andrew. That leaves...?
Preview: I have never thought CA was the best lynch. But let's look at the reasonable scum pairs.
Hoopla - CA
Hoopla - Ald
CA - Ald.
CA is in 2/3 of the possible pairings (the same as every other possible scum!)-

Hoopla: I don't appreciate that post at all.
Last page you were going
and making big posts about it. Now suddenly you're going "Fritz and Fenchurch could be bussing Alduskel" (not an exact quote).There's a strong disincentive to bus in this game, particularly on Day 1,
Hoopla; Is scum. Called it before the game even begun.-

Just to remind you:
Alduskel is clearly not scum with you. There goes one pairing. Alduskel is clearly not scum with CA. There goes the last pairing. If there is nobody he can be scum with then he's clearly not scum. (He's clearly not scum with those two because of this last minute wagon.)Da_Mafia_Godfather wrote:You'll note that your three non-pairings do not contradict a single one of those pairing.
Also just so I'm clear. Those pairings were for the beginning of page 11, now only pairing number one is reasonable.-

3. If you agree with two isn't it logical that as town I'd try to defend him?
4. Isn't it therefore a case of scum throwing muck at a player in order to get a townie lynched rather than good hearted scum hunting?
5. Alduskel flips town. Who are the scum? (I want both of them).-

Fen: Would you mind doing me a favour. Vote CA and then unvote. We both know you're town and I'd prefer you to be the decider rather than Stef"Hoopla has heard of logic so must be town"unny. Also, do you think I'd go on a futile (because in case you haven't noticed I have the rhetoric skills of a four legged animal) mission to save Alduskel if he was my scumbuddy?
Also, do you agree with Stef that Hoopla doing everything in her power to keep the town from lynching her obvious scum buddy is a point in her favour? Do you take it into account at all?
Finally, Who scummier Ald or CA? Hoopla or myself? Andrew or Hoopla?
Weren't we agreed just a couple of pages ago that Hoopla was the scum?-

No your first thoughts are the person who lead two (two!) quick wagons against townies in order to protect her scumbuddy. Right?Alduskkel wrote:Argh. I forgot about the Roleblocker. Been a while since I thought about this game, gotta get back into it I guess and not be worthless save for being confirmed.
My first thoughts are maybe DMG or Fritzler? This game is more than a little confusing.
Hoopla; If you were an unbias observer would you say that the Fritzler-Hoopla pairing was a fine pairing that doesn't require bussing or Andrew in the scum team?-

So you're dodging the question and coming back with an OMGUS-esque attack? Cool.Hoopla wrote:
Empking, you're asking me to be something that I'm not - and even if I were to roleplay this, I'd still likely be afflicted with some bias. If you are town, I don't think it's an unreasonable belief, if only because from your town perspective the scumteam must be between myself/Fritz/Andrew. I find it slightly suspicious you're seeking validation of authority from me to pursue this avenue of attack, rather than, you know, just posting what you think.Da_Mafia_Godfather wrote: Hoopla; If you were an unbias observer would you say that the Fritzler-Hoopla pairing was a fine pairing that doesn't require bussing or Andrew in the scum team?
I don't think that is a particularly town mentality, but I'm going to read up the three possibilities from my perspective shortly.-

That was not an answer to my question. "That's not an unreasonable belief" is not an answer to a straight forward yes or no. It is, in fact, dodging the question.Hoopla wrote:

I gave reasoning why this attack felt bad and I even answered your question in the process, and I think you know this.
Also, everyone. Hoopla's last post is clearly not written in good faith. "it's possible she was targeted purely because she was a more active and astute player who was capable of deeper analysis". Is that an accurate description of a player that did her level best (due to gross incompetence rather than malice) to get our power role outted and Fenchurch lynched?-

Alduskel: Do you think that Hoopla forgot about the Alduskel wagon she lead or hoping that you won't realize how much that ridicules her argument that only talks about the Fenchurch wagon?
Secondly, I'm pretty sure you at least were aware of my belief that Andrew was town due to it being my main reasoning for putting you as my third suspect.
Thirdly, do yuou think Hoopla is arguing in good faith when she said myself and Andrew could "choose" what happens? (bearing in mind that Hoopla chose what happens.)
Fourthly, according to Fonz and others when you're dealing with Hoopla level players you can basically judge their alignment by the results of their actions. In Hoopla's case her actions resulted in... the best (reasonable) possible situation for scum.
Fifthly, the Fenchurch weagon came out of nowhere. I strongly doubt such a wagon could lead to a lynch so quickly without some of the players working together (i.e being scum.)-
