I'll spare you guys any lengthy intro and just provide some helpful info instead.

Highly recommended reading. Also the wiki is a great place to learn and get a grasp on mafia theory on a path to develop your own theory and style. (I like to teach learning rather than a specific style of code of play.)

I've played somewhere around 50 games and I'm still learning. Probably the key thing I could offer to you guys is that you never stop learning in mafia, and you never truly "master" it. It's constantly evolving, constantly changing, so always be open-minded and willing to learn and take away something from every game you play.

Any questions about the above, or anything else in general. Feel free to ask.

By the way, since this is a newbie game, I'll bring up that some people confirm by typing out conform as a joke. (When I said I've seen it before, I was referring to the fact that I've seen other players do it before.) It has no bearing on Parker's alignment.

My 8-sided die has landed on 6 so:

Vote DavidParker

[Zachrulez]

I think Abe's actually a good place to start with a bandwagon. His pre-game actions on Parker are worthy of further investigation and discussion.

[Abe27342]

I didn't actually do any ACTIONS. If I were confident he actually were a mafia (which is near impossible after reading 2 posts), I would have voted him. I didn't vote him, so I was merely asking. Sure, I was asking in an aggressive manner, but no townie will ever get anywhere without questioning.

[Zachrulez]

There's being pro-active and being pro-discussion, and then there's trying to appear pro-active and pro-discussion.

You line of inquiry and discussion doesn't lead to any genuine scum hunting IMO, it's actually a line of discussion that can easily take the town off track.

[Abe27342]

The asking about /conform? Yeah, I've never played on mafiascum before, so I've never seen it. I can tell Parker's a joker now, but before I had no clue. The only other time I've played mafia on a forum, it was incredibly aggressive. Aggressive as in, a new post would appear every 20 minutes or less during the day. If you miss out for about 12 hours, you need to catch up on 50ish posts. A typical game of mafia lasted for about 2500 posts (Huge games), so I'm still getting used to these sets of rules and small games. Your vote is fair enough though, as I can see you're just testing my reaction under pressure. You don't seem too scummy, so I'll

Unvote: Zachrulez

[Abe27342]

Oops, the reason for the unvote is basically you're attempting to start discussion (even if it is on me) and scum-hunting.

If your vote didn't get counted, let me know and I'll fix the VC. Here's a tip to have your votes counted:

Code: Select all

[vote]Name[/vote]

Don't put anything else between the VOTE: tags. Also, don't bold the word "vote" in other contexts, like

Code: Select all

[b]Hey Joe, why did you vote for Alice when Alice is obviously the SK?[/b]

Unvoting before voting isn't necessary.
