Mini 568 - Nubigena (Game over!)

[jerubbaal]

I hope you learned your lesson about being an idiot last time. Try to actually devote some time and attention to the game instead of flailing around ridiculously. And claiming this early is bad, because your job as a vanilla townie is to draw kills away from power roles. I guess it wasn't much of a loss this time, because I don't think you're a priority target in anyone's book, but do think before speaking.

What's your rolename again? Be specific. (and nobody feed him answers)

After my extensive and rigorous metagaming of the 4 or so games avinashv has joined in something like a week's time (crazy noob), I'm going to

Further, why are you claiming Vanilla townie in the opening post?

..... Mafiaplayer-

You should pay more attention to other players post as well, not just the opening post. So... Care to explain?

I made a mistake and thought that the Vig killed N0 was an NPC.

Sorry, did i missed something there?
Do you mean you voted avinashv, thinking he is an NPC? Why would you vote for an NPC in the first place.

[thephantom]

I usually give reasoning for my votes much like you just did.

The reason I unvoted was because I don't feel that keeping a vote on someone because "cats are evil" is a good reason.

jerubbaal, are you suggesting that you believe his claim? If so, why do you believe it so readily?

I actually read up on the Newbie game that I'm assuming you're referencing to and while Mafiaplayer's sporadic behavior in that game ended up getting him lynched, he didn't do something as strange as role claim right at the start of the day. I tend to not take unprovoked role claims very lightly, and I personally could see Newb scum attempting to role claim Vanilla right from the start.

Mafiaplayer, I'm gonna be blunt, what was your intention for claiming Vanilla in your opening post?

mod

, could you please send a reminder to Near? I think he's the only one who hasn't posted yet.

[Mafiaplayer]

My intention was that everyone would mass roleclaim, and then we'd take the strategy of lynch all Powerroles (LAP). Sure, some Powerroles would really be powerroles, but Mafia usually claim Powers. Also, we may get a few really dumb mafia to say Claim:Mafia Goon.

[destructor]

Near has been prodded.

[XReyoX]

Mafiaplayer-
Who told you that mafia would usually claim PRs? and why should we LAP? Surely if one of them claim townie, we'll all be as dead as a dodoo.

The suggestion that a mafia would claim the his true role is insulting our intellegence.

Why would you vote for an NPC in the first place?

Also, ignoring people's questions again and again is not very protown.

[destructor]

Fat_Tony has requested replacement. I'll hopefully have a replacement organised very soon.

[jerubbaal]

I'm not committing on whether I believe mafiaplayer's roleclaim at the moment, I just want him to answer my question (which he notably did not).

Mafiaplayer, what is you actual role name (at the top of your PM)?

In my estimation, he's actually making some sense this game, even if it's completely wrong sense with this LAP crap. Last game, he wanted to lynch Star for the accents on her name.

My meta on Lowell is simply that he's in another game with avinashv, in which consensus seems to be that avinashv is town. So he has additional motivation to kill someone who knows his playstyle and seems to be competent at the game. Scum tend to kill people they know might be threats, and there's some basis of knowledge here.

I believe there was someone else in the thread (don't recall who, I'll post it up in a minute) who was in a thread with avinashv, but the thread was on something like page 2. It's possible to have a read on page 2, but pretty unlikely enough to warrant killing. Or they could simply have killed avinashv because they recognized his name and didn't want overlap between their games.

[jerubbaal]

the_cat_herder was the other one.

[Sammich]

How come we're metagaming on page 2?

In addition to what Reyo just said, there's a few things wrong with this theory:

1) Players who actually have power roles will most likely not claim to be a power role. They're more likely to claim vanilla townie than anything else to prevent being hit by the scum.

2) "Mafia usually claim Powers" is a misconception. The only time scum will most likely claim a power role is when he/she is close to being lynched. Under zero pressure though (like for example the point of the game you've suggested a mass roleclaim), scum will likely claim vanilla like everyone else.

There's probably other things wrong with the theory but that's what comes to mind right now.
