vote Farside22


I'd like to know why you voted Xtomx in your first in game post here. The mod has clearly stated that he is V/LA. What were you going to achieve by voting for a player who isn't here?

Also, Shanba, if I understand you correctly, you are giving lurkers a free pass in this game? Why? I don't think I have ever seen you do this before.

So, suppose I disappear today, and don't post in this game till deadline (this is how I usually lurk), how do you determine whether my lurking is scummy or not?

Armlx wrote:Unvote, Vote SirT

Attacking random votes = no.
And, you want me to do what instead of doing that? Keep on discussing whether lurkers should be lynched till the deadline comes?
Moratorium wrote: Why do you feel the need to criticize a random vote? Your question here, like my rhetorical one, does nothing but muddy the water for town. We really need to move away from playing "Jokevote/Randomvote Gotcha!", especially in a game this large.
Explain how I am "muddying" the water for town. Also, the question to armlx applies to you to, and the fact, that I did exactly what you are saying we need to be doing.
Moratorium wrote: Well, fine. To be honest, all I'm seeing from Sir Tornado at this juncture is a shotgun-style approach to questioning, questioning random votes, asking multiple people benign questions that don't seem to be meant to actually learn anything, but just scream "I'm helping!".
I use this kind of play style for games modded by Lawrencelot. I refer you to Open 35: Big Love Mafia, in which I played exactly in the same way I am planning to play in this game.
Moratorium wrote: I had voted for Megatheory originally for starting that whole lurker metagaming theory block quote circlejerk, and I'll keep a FoS: Megatheory in his general direction. I still get the feeling that it was all just meant as a "Hey, I'll put out a theory, possibly mega, about paying attention to lurkers, and then all my scumbuddies can respond, increase post counts, and scum will heretofore be known as the Anti-Lurker Justice League" or whatever.
I tend to agree with this.
Moratorium wrote: But what I'd like to know from you at this point, Sir Tornado, is what kind of information you were intending to gather from your line of questioning, particularly that of questioning a random vote.
What kind of information do you want to hide from the town?
Al4xz wrote:Not neccessarily. If they are going like, "omgz0rz that guy is lurking let's kill him" and crap like that, then they're sure gonna start getting nervous. Then we throw a few more votes on him (essentially, we start the wagon) and he's going whack yellin "I was on vacation!" Then we pressure him some more until we can determine scum or innocent, then we either kill him or let him go. That's what I say. Of course, that will require quite a bit of teamwork from everyone else.
"kill" and "teamwork"

Coming back to the main point about me voting farside22; the only information I had, at that point was that farside22 had voted for xtoxm, in what she called a random vote, during the time xtoxm was away.

Now, if you see the first few pages of most games, you'll notice that there is some sort of interaction directly between person and the person who he has voted on the first page or so. Voting a person who is V/LA avoids that interaction. This is the single most scummy incident on page 3 (heh).

Armlx wrote: Umm, not necessarily. I don't expect you to try to call someone scummy for a completely null action.
Armlx, when the game starts, each and every person other than myself has an equal chance of being scum from my POV. As the game progresses, their chances either increase or decrease depending on their actions in the game. On page 3, farside22 ranked higher than anyone else (not saying we should lynch farside22 because of that vote by any means though), precisely because no one else had done anything alarming.

This tell is more or less like the last-to-confirm tell. Not entirely reliable, nor lynch-able, but definitely something to look at in the beginning of the game.

I agree that this tell isn't universal, and certainly not enough for a lynch, but it is enough to get the game started.

Shanba wrote: Sir T, why did you say you agreed with Moratorium on that?
Because, well, I feel strange that the only thing people were doing is discussing what to do with lurkers. Discussing lurkers is a very safe way of playing mafia. Especially when you are an established player. You just establish a meta and harp that line in every game. It really doesn't add anything to the game in particular, and the differences between players on lurker issue are based more on their views on playing mafia rather than their alignment in the game, especially when discussed this early in the game. This makes it a very safe discussion for scum to participate in. They can be seen to contribute without being in danger of revealing their alignment. And, if they are good, they can always produce a few games from their past where they subscribed to the same view when they were town.
Moratorium wrote: You're ignoring my question by responding with a question (more shotgun pellets, I see). Also, and I'm not sure if you've noticed, but you are accusing me of wanting to hide information, by hiding the information you apparently gathered. Irony
That's the way I play, Ok?

This is ironic, considering only I and Armlx seem to be actually playing this game. The rest of you seem to think (before this page) discussing lurkers belongs to mafia games. Try the "mafia discussion" forum.

Sure you got a bit of discussion. But, do you think it said anything about the alignments of the players?
BlakAdder wrote:Dodging the issue yet again. You start to go under fire and you try to change the subject to something that totally doesn't matter.
@armlx: Explain, please.
I did not dodge the question. Look at the post and the two quoted posts carefully, then
think
what I may be hinting there.
Moratorium wrote: Translation: Hey, thanks for unvoting me, Armlx, here's a token compliment.
A career tip: Don't go into translation business.
Moratorium wrote: 1. Why should we not consider your shotgun approach to questioning and refusal to answer questions as a scummy, obfuscating tactic?
There's something called meta. If I play like that all the time, it can't be scummy, can it? And, I have actually answered most of the questions asked to me if you read my posts more carefully and grasp what they say completely.
Moratorium wrote: 2. The pressure we are starting to put on you is, I would say, rather mild. But we're starting to see wierd replies from you now like "Ha! I voted, take that!" on voting EmpKing, or "That's the way I play, OK?". I would interpret these non-responses as a defense mechanism while you try to figure out how to explain your scummy, scummy ways. I'd like to get a reasoned response from you that simply puts all of our arguments to rest.
Wouldn't it serve you better if you check whether I really play like that instead of speculating whether it is a defense mechanism or something? If I really play like that, then do you expect me to change my play style just because a few players are voting me? It's not going to happen.

Shanba wrote:indicates that you feel everyone that it was discussing the lurkers that was scummy, not just the one bringing up the discussion. But that's kind of strange, since it's a well established strategy for starting games here. Furthermore, you yourself contributed to the discussion. What am I missing here?
1) I did not know that discussing lurkers en masse before anyone really started lurking was a well established strategy for starting games on MS. This must be extremely recent development.

2) Discussing lurkers isn't scummy. Discussing lurkers WITHOUT doing anything else is scummy. Look at the amount of posts which seemed to do nothing BUT comment on lurkers before, and for a bit after I attacked farside for voting a V/LA player. That is scummy.

3) I did comment on it, but the main focus of my posts was farside22's vote on xtoxm, not the lurker theory.

Moratorium, it is interesting you put a link to Designer Mafia. I did NOT use this play style for that game. I was a serial killer in that game, and you don't reach final 5 in a large game as a SK by using a shotgun approach.

Re Triumvirate: I was not using this approach Triumvirate mafia either. You are confusing voting V/LA with voting using dice. In Triumvirate, I attacked MoS because he voted using dice, which is decidedly much, much worse than what farside did in this game. Besides, I did nothing but attack MoS while I played that game; we were doing massive D1 distancing.

Mini 466: Yes, that was the game where I was developing this play style.

Fauxdafafa, Mafia 66 was one of my first games. I played differently back then.

I have posted 3 games which are fairly old (at least a year or so), but newer than Mafia 66 which more or less confirm the meta a couple of pages ago. (and, my meta is not necessarily town specific)

And, by the way, I feel you are blowing things out of proportion a bit. I HAVE explained most of my play in this game too, and unlike what a few people might say, I have answered most questions too as long as they were not stupid ones.

BlakAdder, do you think I should ignore discussions between you and Shanba completely? If I see you make a scummy or strange point to players other than me, I will still point it out. Deal with it.

(and, you still haven't answered my question, btw)

When people post in a mafia game, I take it for granted that they have read the thread unless they specifically mention otherwise. There is no need for a post like that unless you are trying to make some point about a certain player's posts.

I'm sorry, but that isn't "contribution". And, a mafia player shouldn't depend on other player's post to look for voting patterns. Post Counts really doesn't count for anything at all.

(Hint: There is a option at the bottom of the thread for viewing each player's posts separately. Use it for analysing voting patterns and post counts if you want rather than other player's posts)

More information is good. I havn't played in a game this large before so i imagine one aspect that will get in the way of town is getting through the clutter, having 16 different conversations going on at once, etc.
Fair enough. What are your conclusions then?

It's participating because he's told to. Now, how much did I invest in this? Did I lead the charge to have him lynched? No. Did I then proceed to follow the discussion on why he would do that, then weigh in, and unvote? Yes.

You're being so ridiculous.
I can pretend to play in one post all I want, but it is irrelevant as far as I am actually playing in other posts. Now, the thing is, I think you know your vote on me for the reasons you are giving in that post was very weak, and yet instead of agreeing that it was weak and just leaving it there and moving on, you continue to try to defend it. I see this as a scum-tell. The scum are, in general reluctant to back down and agree that they were wrong most of the trivial incidents, like that vote, something which you are doing at the moment.

Slicy wagon is sort of silly... I am willing to wager that he will come up town. But, that post where he posts "Oh, well, I am doomed" doesn't look too good for him, but his other posts don't give scum vibes.

Still, the lynch appears inevitable so we'll see.

Armlx, it doesn't have to do anything with the ratios as far as I am concerned... more to do with hunches (based on the way the player is behaving, his general play pattern, people on his wagon, etc. It's fairly complex, and I am not sure I can explain the whole thing) about such wagons which I get right more than half the time.

Basically, I post them just to see if they were right or wrong (see Mafia 70: Traditional mafia, Yamahako's and BM's lynch), and it has more to do with my ego than anything else, so I don't expect this lynch to not take place by any chance.

4 scum have been lynched D1. 1 of those claimed townie, 1 claimed Doc, the rest did not claim.
This does play a part, yes, because I find mafia, especially fairly newbie (and quite a few experienced) mafia do not generally claim vanilla townie when pressurized. It doesn't help mafia in any way. (for example, claiming cop can lead to counter claim, which exposes the cop, etc).

I did not mention this, because I didn't want this to be brought into open in this game and give scum any ideas, but those statistics are damning.

Oh, I misread your post... (the point still stands though)

If you have a lot of time on your hands, you might want to see how many claimed power roles (due to pressure) were scum. I think it might be a rather large number.

Armlx wrote: That's a lot more extra time then I have, as I would have to go back through and read full D1's of each game as power roles aren't likely to be lynched D1. Though of power roles lynched D1, the percentage being scum is higher then par, most likely due to the fact the bar for lynching claimed power roles D1 is much higher.
And, what about the games you have been in?

Of all the new york games I was ever in, we never lynched a mafia D1 -- almost all the people I ever lynched claimed vanilla. The only time we got someone to claim cop -- DrippingGoofBall in Mafia 70, she was mafia.

This isn't exactly a big sample size, but I admit to being biased by this experience.

No, I don't think so. I just checked the timings of those 2 posts, and I have to conclude that farside22 wasn't blindly following you... it would be highly impossible to grab those quotes from Jebus and type all that in all of 6 minutes after your post (provided she saw your post right after you posted it) which makes me conclude she did do independently at least up to some level.
