[Council of Villains] A State of Corruption [Concluded]

[Insanious]

So this was pretty much the most useless first day of a mafia game ever... no one talked about anything, and now day 2 is just like day 1 but we are down 6 people now... we going to start the almost obligatory "talk about lynching inactives, which then gives people something to analyze to actually start the thread off?" Or are we just going to continue to use random.org to find which targets we should lynch? Just wondering.

I do not like this post - you sound like a tryhard, a despairing one at that. I especially do not like being told what I think, nor do I find it pleasent you'd subtle accuse the town of incompetence, and then try to formulate it into an innocent question. No townie would do this, not Day 1, 2, 10, or 20.

Vote: Insanious

Thanks for the lead though, power role or scum that you are.

Um.... I didn't tell you what to think in any way shape or form, where did you get that from my post? Nor did I accuse anyone of incompetence, I was just saying that no one was posting. Its really hard to find scum when all you have to go on is a post with "Vote player XXX". We had 3 pages of "/in" posts, 7 pages of voting, and ~1 page of day/night posts... there has been nothing to talk about or analyze.

Unless of course you have a talking point we can start on... or a good way to analyze 1st day voting to find scum...

Maybe we should go after those who wanted so badly that tie? It does not take much to figure that a tie would lead to both being dead, and any other result would still be good for the baddies.

Who honestly thought one would survive? I shoudl have voted earlier....Warman....I am sorry I could not save you.

Well that seems absolutely disastrous... Aurora 242 is marked down as a "Survivalist", but one would think she is a very powerful pro-town role - if she isn't of course, we can't complain! I am just surprised to be still alive (See Active Contributor in the Glossary).

I don't think there is any point in lynching Insanious just over his annoyance at how hopeless the town is in the first few rounds. His attitude reminds me of a pure townie who is disgruntled by the lack of options.

I'd like to point something out to new players if I may - something that might be obvious but which I didn't know about 'til after Capo II.

In the forum, when you look at the thread titles, if you click on the number of replies for that thread you will be given a list of all participants and the number of posts they have made in the thread.

By clicking on this number, you will be taken to a list comprising all posts that player made in order, start to finish.

This can be an invaluable tool of analysis.


And looking at that list this morning, one of the players I am liking least, and certainly one of the least helpful is

Tsk, what are you talking about? Ties are usually resolved one way or another. I don't remember a game where all the tied players would die, so you can count me in those who "honestly thought one would survive".

Looking at the running tallies, it was rarely tied during the day. In fact after one player reached 5 votes, the tally was exactly tied 3 times and the way votes were going, I have doubts that any of them were created on purpose, except Glenn who was very specific on the matter.

Besides, how do you propose to find those "who wanted so badly a tie"?

If that is how you feel then begin by stating some views who do you find suspicious? Ask some questions, do something, do not just snipe from the sidelines.

Aw man dead on the first day? Hrmph, put me down for replacements.

[woad&fangs]

vote: Insanious At least give us a vote before you start disparaging our methods. A random day one is hardly a thorn in the IGFH and GH side.

Um, since when is the first day ever very useful? Honestly, there was a lot more of value than there usually is yesterday. This post strikes me very strangely. However, I am going to reserve judgement for later, when there are more posts to look at. For the time being though, lets post a nice clean vote:abstain

This was a bog-standard day one. If anything (barring two townies being dead instead of the more typical one), it was better than usual. There's a heck of a vote trail in the case that classical hero, ATPG, or anyone else ever in danger turns up mafia.

Where have you played mafia before?

Ugh out of town and posting on phone. No time to defend myself at length due to nye party. Investigator is lying. Last night I was investigating. As proof, my result was that sasaki is Rundas, GF survivalist. He can confirm this.

Tincow's own post indicates the decided-upon defense for this round.

The Dark Samus team is caught with their main investigator's pants down. They decide, as a group, that the defense used to keep Tincow from dying is to point out there is no way he was killing.

They do this in twofold fashion: Insanious points out he's missing from the writeup, and Tincow reveals a correct investigation result.

Good god, why? What would he have to gain? Whatever else, Beskar himself is probably telling the truth about this.

See how Renata interacts with Insanious, and even reacts to Glenn's pressuring of Insanious, and plays the counterpoint to the other two mafiosi.

She suggests the results on Tincow are true; distancing tactic. But where is her vote on Tincow?

INACTIVE: ByzKnight (1st), dcmort (1st), Khazaar (1st), Renata (1st), Yaseikhaan (1st)

Nowhere.



Tincow, Renata, Insanious.
