I must be crazy mafia (4/7) End Game: Mad World

[LiL_Whitebone]

hey.. i'm still keen.
or has it already started? i kept checking in for the newbie one that never started, bummer if i missed out on this.. good luck if so

[BuJaber]

Hard to find something to say when people aren't posting. Looks like even the replacement isn't interested.

[Metsfanmax]

Day 1 is always a little awkward, and usually we get through it at all because the joke vote phase stumbles into seriousness. Doesn't work so well when the joke vote phase peters out early.

The only thing I have to go on so far is dakky. He took my joke about his habit of D1 claiming way too seriously, and also read something into TFO's comment that wasn't there. But I can't yet say if it's scummy or not.

[Ragian]

So... Would you vote for him?

[Metsfanmax]

No, because I can't yet say if it's scummy or not.

[LiL_Whitebone]

Vote BuJaber

[Ragian]

Why BuJ?

[LiL_Whitebone]

He just smells off.

[strike wolf]

Vote BuJaber

Please don't vote if you're not officially in the game.

That said, since Lil_Whitebone is posting but Mtam is not, does anyone mind if I just add him back in for Mtam?

[strike wolf]

Vote Count:

Dakky (2)-Mets, Ragian
TFO (1)-Dakky
Mets (1)-Buj
TeeGee
Ragian
Mtam
Buj

Deadline end of day tomorrow.

Prodding TeeGee.

[Ragian]

No, but it would be nice to know who's actually playing

[BuJaber]

No, but it would be nice to know who's actually playing

Second this

[dakky21]

No, but it would be nice to know who's actually playing

Second this

Third, I'm here. Just don't have anything to say. We'll end the day obviously without lynch since like half of the people are not playing or scummaringing.

[TheForgivenOne]

Vote BuJaber

Please don't vote if you're not officially in the game.

Mtam hasn't been online since the 24th. I say we put Whitebone back in lol

But considering dakky didn't address Myself or Mets regarding his twisting of words, I'll Vote: dakky.

[dakky21]

That brings me to L-1 so I will claim, I am currently a doctor, town aligned. If I am lynched, look at those who voted for me. Even with 2 inactives (mtam and teegee, some of three and fourth on the lynch could be scum)

[Metsfanmax]

unvote

[TeeGee]

sorry guys, been a little busy with the rest of the site,
I'm a little confused on how we work out who to vote for in the beginning.
Guess thats the fun part of the game.

But unable to turn off my logical brain i see this piece of advice

In case he is a newbie townie let me help him out..

TeeGee we usually start like this

Vote: Ragian

Because Ragian is always scum.

Nobody Can Protect You This Time Rags

While the guessing of player roles can be fun, directing me just "because" is pretty scummy

so in conclusion I

Vote: BuJaber

[BuJaber]

That was beginning of the game. As is tradition I find a way to vote for rags for fun.

Also because he really is scum a lot of the time. Statistically he's right, it doesn't matter but still feels like good way to start.

Mod said balance not included. I think I believe dakky and as such it might indicate some night time shenanigans like extra kills if only 1 scum in the game, or 2 scum and maybe some town-sided shooters.

Gut says scum is mets or whitebone.
Mets posts have a tone that feels a little fake to me.
And I find it suspicious whitebone perked up suddenly when he was about to be replaced. Especially when he isn't putting much effort in actually playing if he's interested.

I know I can't expect too much from players at the moment because it's early in the game but I do expect a certain level of interest in finding scum.

[BuJaber]

I wrote that backwards... 1 scum + town sided killing or 2 scum. 2 scum + vig like roles would be insane as that's 3 potential townies dead from just the lynch and night 1.

[Metsfanmax]

Some mods, for some games, tend to choose scum intentionally (not randomly) based on who they think would be a good fit for the role. Since scum can lose easily if it's not done by players with a certain level of competence, I think it makes sense that it is assigned to competent players like Ragian more often than pure chance would suggest. So I tend to agree that, in the absence of any other information, it's not the worst decision one can make.

How does that correlate with being scum?

Wait, what? Are you saying it's more likely that I'm scum because I'm good at it? I'm not. I've won one game as scum (well, two, but Aage won that one). If that's not what you're saying, could you repeat your point for thick people like me?

[dakky21]

Rage, practice makes perfect... so yeah, there is more chance that you're scum over someone else and I agree with Mets that some mods might pick scum not randomly.

I meant more because you're good at mafia in general, which is really what most people remember (I never would have guessed that you've only one two games as scum if you hadn't told me).

Anyway I'm not actually accusing you of being mafia in this game, just saying that I can understand the logic of someone who used that for a not-completely-random jokevote.

[BuJaber]

Well generally scum wouldn't care about generating meaninful discussion. They'd only be interested in staying alive
