[Official] NBC Mafia Town Win MVP=trinicardinal

[trinicardinal]

so the options are this.

Randomly pressure someone
Pressure someone who says something kind of weird.

I sympathize with Betiko for trying to get something going and having it backfire, it can be frustrating. BUT, we have to get some info.

vote Betiko

I totally agree with this. I will not vote yet though .. have to check and see how many votes for Betiko... I am not going to take a chance of mistaken lynching for sure..lol

[jonty125]

what I exactly said is "let s put the question the other way; out of the 16 who do we trust a little?"
and I said that for me it was rodion for the question I asked giving my reason. I just think that scums will do anything to avoid starting constructive reasoning too soon so that we can randomly lynch one of us and we run out of time.
I said "trust a little" meaning that I don t fully trust rodion, but I am likely to do so because I think the question he asked would help and he s the first one to really ask something game related that could help us in our decision.
I perfectly knew that asking this question I would put myself in the front line, as no one started at that point taking positions (other than for joking). Now, objectively, would waiting for other players to answer this question make me necesairly scum? i knew that asking this i would get a few votes, but there is a bit too much of band wagoning here in my opinion..

If I didn t want to take any risk I would ve just asked if peter crouch got dumped by his girlfriend for unapropriately signing for stoke city! :-p

Peter Crouch has a wife not a gf.

And I can't see this case on betiko can someone who has voted please explain why for the life of me it just likes a BW (particularly from BG)

vote Betiko

Let me anlayse the votes

I agree that inactivity itself can be grounds for suspicion. However, I have just reviewed all players and all players in the game have posted within the last 48 hours. Obviously some more active than others, but far from deadbeats at this point. Dates are as of my own timezone I imagine.

show: Last posts by player

Agreed on this. However, I don't think that's something that we will be able to lean on in Day 1 in this game because I believe people will be more active as it's an official game.

I can kind of see the betiko and Rodion arguments. However, it's has enough WIFOM that it basically just leaves you using your gut either way you decide to lean. So, I can't really see a great case being made. I do like putting pressure on people when nothing is happening though, because I think it reveals things. So, unvote vote betiko

A pressurising vote to get the ball rolling

Well honestly I'm not really buying into any of the current cases...I don't really think there's anything to Rodion's questioning of leitz, I don't really find the betiko case that strong and the rodion is basically non-existant. If anything I buy the betiko case more than the others but I still find it fairly weak even for day 1.

Of course it's weak, but so are most cases on day 1. Rodion's asking for a reasoning is... about as non-scummy as things get, though.

Betiko's questions, "would you be ok with lynching the person below you" and "who do you trust" are odd, though. If everyone answered honestly they could be used to figure out scumbuddies or mason/lover partners. But expecting honest answers is foolish in the first place, so what's he after?

Was the first question not asked by Rodion?

Anyway I did not find either question particularly scummy. To me it just seemed like 2 guys trying to get some kind of conversation going which can only be a good thing.

You're right, Rodion asked the first one. I must've gotten that mixed up somehow.

ok...

Then we have betiko asking one weird question, and Rodion asking a weird question and later a non-scummy question. I'm still leaning towards putting pressure on betiko, though.

I agree. I saw nothing too scummy but we must do something. unvote vote Betiko

dazza hops on the case

vote Betiko

And you too.

What I can't see is what has betiko done that is scummy

[MoB Deadly]

How many mafia games has Betiko played before, is he new? I haven't seen him around before

there doesn't seem like any case to me. All it seems like is that the idea is to pressure someone into giving information

There really isn't anything much to go on so far

[BGtheBrain]

[Rodion]

Medefe, I don't think I've ever played before with Leitz, trinicardinal, Swifte and betiko. I assumed they were all first timers or at least really new. Add some other newer players and I thought that by asking my question I had a chance of catching newbie scum on the move so it was worth trying (seemed like a zero risk, low reward move). Unfortunately, it didn't quite work out as Trinicardinal and Strike Wolf quickly gave the "town-looking answers", effectively giving possible newbie mafia players a cop out (all they had to do is give the same answer and not look scummy).

I'm not a big fan of the Betiko case. To me it seems like he saw people jokevoting, then he saw me trying to get serious and thought that the initiative of moving the game forward was indicative of a town-aligned player, thus the "trusting Rodion a little" comment. I find it a legitimate thought process.

So far, I think MOB Deadly has been acting weirdly. I don't know if it's the bias of being suspected by him, but doesn't it seem like he's trying too hard to implicate me somehow? The degree of paranoia present in this post definitely caught my attention: viewtopic.php?p=3444870#p3444870

Saf/VS, can you post an updated vote count, please? Thanks in advance!

[jonty125]

@Jonty - i dont think he has done something extremely scummy. I think he did something weird.

My point is, we will end up pressuring someone. I would rather pressure the person who says something weird than a random person who hasnt said anything weird, let alone scummy.

Do you think we would be better of pressuring a random person?

Well, yes but if its for something weird then I won't be joining the pressurising.

[Swifte]

let s put the question the other way; out of the 16 who do we trust a little? to tell the truth, i think that rodion by asking this question is one of the guys i would trust the most... aparently you guys have played this a few times together so you know each other better.. this means that I don t trust SG7

unvote vote SG7

The logic in this betiko quote was the most strange to me. Asking a question about trust automatically makes Roidon trustworthy? SG7 making a joke about Roidon always seeming to be in the mob earns a vote and distrust? I just didn't follow this at all, and some above have said it could have been a diversion to get attention off of Roidon. It's not a strong case, just seems like the strongest we have to go on so far. This is just my summary of those events, others may of course have interpreted differently.

[Rodion]

Now that you bring this up, it can be evidence of Betiko skimming. If he thought I was town and wanted to vote on people that suspected me, he should have voted Jimfinn (serious vote), not Shield (joke vote).

a few answers:

-yes, it s my first mafia game (played in real life with friends a few times a game called the werewolf in france, that is exactly the same, but obviously with real life friends you know, well there are a few physical tells that you can t find in here...).
I didn t quite figure out if each game you play here are with the same number of scums and if all type of townie/ neutral roles are the same from on mafia game to the next or if the mod chooses each time a new receipe... (if it s the case, he kind of said watching the nightmare before chrismas movie could he... and i haven t seen it!)

-rodion, not voting for jimfin and voting for gh7 was because i thought jimfin's argument was irrelevant but not scummy; and gh7's pop out vote came out of the blue with this strange way to say "confirm" and kind of bandwagonning.

-I have 2 votes counted as well!

This. This is the case on betiko. I didn't restate the case when I voted because I was not the one who was online first to see it and point at it.

hollo, mate. The name's SG7, don't know where you got GH7 from

Thanks for explaining your reasoing, it seems you just found something that stands out and had to go vote for it

Yes it's different playing on the forums because you can't see the people you're playing with. Here, mods use a whole bunch of crazy set ups. Some games are regular C9 games (mafia, cop, doc, & vanilla townies), while others have a whole bunch of crazy roles (like this one). So yeah it has a lot of specialization in it and each game is pretty much unique, only limited by the mod's imagination.

I start getting a few votes and you band wagon with no other reason that to put pressure on me because there is nothing else at the moment. then swifte finds an argument (I explained in the earlier post why my vote was leaning towards SG7 at a particular moment of the game); and you finally find something to hold on to, quite poor in my opinion, to justify your band wagoning. I just think that you seem a bit too convinced by this type of argument and that you want to see me lynched quickly. I find this weird, not a big case either, but you become my number 1 suspect.

unvote vote chapcrap

[strike wolf]

I'm more suspicious of some of the people who are voting for Betiko than I am of betiko at this point. More than one people have basically declared they would add pressure because they found it weird (not necessarily scummy) and some seem to just be following along.

I agree with everyone else. It would be completely random. I have not seen anything scummy from him yet.

Have you seen anything at all from him?

Not a lot but he has posted. Twice since he confirmed. Just a joke vote and answered Rodion.

yep. I'm around . I don't think we have heard a lot from anyone really... probably because of the weekend... I'm usually on less on a weekend and I'm sure other people have the same problem

so the options are this.

I totally agree with this. I will not vote yet though .. have to check and see how many votes for Betiko... I am not going to take a chance of mistaken lynching for sure..lol

At this point in trini's posts I'm getting kind of a neutral vibe from his actions. The last one especially seems a bit like someone who wants to press for the wagon but is hesitant about getting directly involved. Possible scum tactic.

what I exactly said is "let s put the question the other way; out of the 16 who do we trust a little?"

It is quite simple strike... I agree that we probably need to put pressure on someone to get some more info. In this case a bandwagon has formed on betiko so he might be the first person to give us info. But in no way do I want to bring betiko to the point of lynching without some sort of tangible evidence that he is scum... there has been no tangible evidence for anyone so far... just some vague suspicions.

I just want to lynch some scum... Its Day 1 so extremely hard to find scum. So yes, if it would mean that pressure would give information I don't mind applying the pressure. I DO NOT want to bring a possible townie to a point where mafia could just hammer home the kill. We have no idea who has what role in this game and in my limited experience so far.. applying some pressure has worked... i have also seem power roles get killed this way so I am cautious.

[trinicardinal]

Also I find it interesting that strike talks about being suspicious of some of those voting for betiko and then proceeds to try to build a case against me when I have deliberately refrained from voting for betiko at this point due specifically to the point that there is no real case against anybody yet. Hell this thing is nothing but paranoia
