[Basic]: Girls Gone Wild Mafia

[peacesells]

The mafia must of posted is my first issue. Not everyones checked in. Most people check in as soon as they see their role PM. So mafia or town people dont check in by a certaib time on alignmebt

 

 

also im active as either alignment, sane as others

Are you saying you think Time has read her PM?

[dapianoplay3r]

Is there a reason to doubt that? She dodnt say she hasnt did she?

[peacesells]

Okay, logically speaking people have higher anticipation of being scum than town.  Likewise people who are mafia gain more from a quiet game than a loud game as it allows them to slip between the cracks.  Thus my hypothesis is that if we are to find scum and scum are interested in playing without sticking out then scum must have posted but would not be to forward as of yet.

 

Thus... Vote Time

 

Sorry, Dap..thought you made this statement..but it was Darthe.  Nevermind what I asked.

[dapianoplay3r]

Yea see

im not crazy

 

Darthes reasons bug mme abd i disagreee

[Kaylee]

I'm not saying they haven't posted. I'm saying in general they try to lay low and not stand out. If they didn't post at all they'd be replaced most likely.

[dapianoplay3r]

Metas are mmore useful than lurkers

 

honestly

[Kaylee]

Most the time yes. There are a few times when going off of meta has gotten an innocent lynched though. For the most part I use meta.

[dapianoplay3r]

Yea i dont like darthes rules

 

abd i try never to lynch purely on meta. I use meta as a start

[Elaevia]

I'm not surprised that Hallia hasnt checkled in yet, and I didn't expect Time to be here before today anyway, so I dont think that tells us alot.

 

Out of interest, how do you approach newbies like me without meta to give you a start?

[dapianoplay3r]

I use WOTs. I see how you interact with others mainly..

 

Im more forgivibg to start though.

How much have you read up on mafia or read past games?

[Elaevia]

I know enough to know WoT doesn't mean wheel of time in this context! :)

 

I've read a bit, the wiki etc to be familiar with most slang that is likely to be used, and tried to keep up with the vegi tales game, but missed a few pages and got lost! instead I read the completed shifters / hunters game from last year that has been bumped. that was fun to read, knowing who the mafia were from the beginning.

[dapianoplay3r]

Veggie tales would be a good game to read. Its short enough that you dont have to slog.

 

WOT means Web of Trust (i think??)

It's when you link players together based on circumstantial evidence

I happen to enjoy them lol

Nope, WoT is Wall of Text. It's when you include a gazillion quotes from assorted posts all at once with your responses to them, or just your thoughts on them. Sometimes a WoT is even split between multiple posts if it is particularly long.

 

As to Hally and Time, I don't see anything suspicious about them not being here actively yet. Time said before the game thread began she wouldn't be on till sometime today. Hally is dealing with a death in her family, and according to her FB the service isn't till tomorrow. It might be a couple days before she shows up.

[Basel Gill]

Stupid post button... anyhow, continuation of what I was saying. I don't see anything scummy about either person not being here yet. Csarmi has yet to post at all, so there's no read till he shows up or is replaced. I don't see anything scummy about Darthe's vote yet, though. To me it reads like it could be town setting a trap to see who responds.

Here is a post I made to help new players.  http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/topic/76698-new-player-tips-and-information/

It's not too long.

[Niniel]

Hallia can´t start until Sunday. I have asked her if she still wants to play and I´m waiting for an answer. Csarmi hasn´t read my PM. I will see if I can find him. 

[dapianoplay3r]

I am very good at walls of texts lol

 

whats a web of trust then?

something that was made up.

[dapianoplay3r]

they are real! just like unicorns

[michellem]

A web of trust is when you read through the game and see small hints of connections between players. To players that agree with each other to much, or possibly treats eeach other like the other doesn't exist. I find it's easier to use when one person is dead, to see who s/he interacted with and who they didn't. In most games, when the first mafia is dead, I ususally do a re-read to look at that persons interactions with others.

[Elaevia]

thanks for the link, that's a nice summary

[Darthe]

See?  Mod confirmation that everyone else has read their PM.

 

So what reason could they have to not post at this point?  I don't think it is unlikely to speculate on this.

 

Additionally, I could have chosen a different name than WoT, it didn't really matter.  That one just stuck out to me.  

 

Oh, and if you want to see some of my crazier theories I will gladly post a full list of small psych techniques that I use... as soon as this game concludes.

[michellem]

You missed the post on Page 1 that Tina made that Time couldn't be active until the 27th?

[Elaevia]

we know why Hallia isn't here, know that csarmi hasn't read the pm and not expecting time quite yet.

 

everyone else has checked in, and posted at least something else, so I'm not quite sure who you mean, Darthe.

 

is it usual to wait untill everyone is here, or would you expect accusations to start flying straight away?

 

(that last bit isn't specifically to Darthe, by the way)

[Darthe]

I'll answer anyhow.  Straight away!

 

Also, Tina don't hate me but.. self plug!
