Terywj first:
Gheb, you should update the OP player list.
Vote: Felipe
Pure RVS, unless he saw the same thing Ryker sees about Felipe being blatantly scum.
Ryker, can I be a cool kid? Interpret this as you will.
This post doesn't need an explanation, lol.
I'll wait for an IC player to explain what just happened.
Unvote
Vote: Serin
Nothing in this post, either. He says he'll wait for an IC to explain the RVS wagon, then switches his vote to Serin.
Hey Ryker, do your responsibility as an Inexperienced Challenged player and explain to Serin what just happened.
Telling Ryker to do his IC duties. Nothing here, either.
I'm not sure I understand your question.
Nothing here.
I'm no expert, so I'm like gonna misword stuff. RVS=Random Voting Stage. The beginning of Mafia is very...awkward. Nobody knows anything and so random votes are thrown around to get discussions and reactions from people. I don't actually know if Serin is new (I'm assuming he is, since 3+ IC's seem unlikely, especially given having 9 players) but not knowing about RVS but blindly following the crowd is lame. My vote on him was still pretty much a joke until he volunteered to be lynched.
Tery has his first meaningful post, here. Half of it is explaining RVS, but he explains his Serin vote: "pretty much a joke until he volunteered to be lynched." This is still null, though.
You're forgetting X1-12 as an Inexperience Challenged.
Pointing out my mistake, no contribution here.
I disagree. There is always going to be information to get from interacting with other players. Eventually, there will be a point where the town has enough information / judgement to lynch someone who they believe are Mafia. And even if no such information is come across, there can be a no lynch or something else will be done. Offering yourself at the immediate beginning offers no possible benefit to town as it literally sounds like you just don't want to contribute or care. If you are town, you have everything to prove by working together to scumhunt with the rest of us.
I feel that if you're town, Mafia now have you as a really good target to just pick at the entire game.
This post is just doing IC stuff and helping out Serin. "scumhunt with the rest of us" implies that Tery thinks he'd been scumhunting before this post. From what I've analyzed so far, I don't think he was.
You'd be surprised once you see other people posting and interacting.
I'm well aware of that. That does not justify your claim of "Well someone's gotta go so it may as well be me right now since we lack info." Work with the connections and dialogue presented by the other people. For example, what do you think of Kantrip / Ryker? Kantrip / me? Or even this interaction between us right now?
Helping Serin again. Tery does ask his opinion on Ryker, himself, and myself, and his view on the conversation that was going on. The first things Tery's done to help town as far as I could read.
Alright. So when the others post here, be sure to communicate with them so you can develop reads on the players, which will help town scumhunt. I don't follow your null on Ryker though. I'm assuming by "'Cept Ryker." you clarified him as a null and not scum.
What did you find contradictory? Is being contradictory indicative of alignment? If so, does that justify unvoting just to put it back on in the future?
Helping Serin again and asking me some solid questions. Tery's doing some pro-town things in his conversation between Serin and me.
Show me where Serin specifically stated that.
If contradictory-ness (forgive me) is not beneficial to town, is that a slip?
Why remove the vote if you're just going to sit around waiting for something else to happen. Make or break Serin, or the actions you've seen now should determine whether or not your vote will stay. Otherwise you're just doing nothing helpful to town by removing your vote / not voting.
Here is where I feel he was starting to pit Serin and myself against each other. He tells me there was no point in removing my vote, as doing so doesn't help town in any way. He also offers some questions related to my vote on Serin. Odd that he questions the reasons for my vote, while at the same time telling me it should have stayed on.
Serin, what do you think of my questions on Kantrip?
Here it seems to me like Tery wants to get Serin back into the conversation. He does this by asking Serin what he thinks of Tery's questions directed at me.
Man, I have missed playing Mafia so much. :3
Nothing to see here.
Because I'm sure you can milk more responses from Serin that just that.
This post is the one I like the least. Tery defends Serin in the same post he tells me I should have kept my vote on him. Then he gets Serin in the conversation by getting him to give his opinion on Tery's questions. Next he tells me I could have milked more responses from Serin. It feels to me like Tery was trying to get Serin and I to antagonize each other. This is certainly not beneficial to town.
Doesn't seem like you are, because after your removal of vote on Serin all you've done is talk to me and not much else.
Did you read what I posted about RVS? What makes you use this response.
You said being contradictory is not indicative of alignment but has a negative effect on town. What are your opinions on slips (messups or mistakes)? Are those indicative of alignment? Is being contradictory a slip?
This half of the post is pretty quality, however. His questions seem legit and have the intent of helping town.
Let's not forget everyone else, too! Adumb, X1-12, thoughts?
Just trying to get more responses. Null.
I'm not saying these are unavoidable, I'm asking what his stances / opinions on those functions are.
Clarification and nothing else.
Mostly because the interactions between Kantrip, Serin, and myself were the most active and obvious, I thought it'd be getting some feedback from the other players (including yourselves) for their opinion on those dialogue.
Apparently according to Ryker, I'm like a pseudo-IC, so I will also be trying to help you guys get into the game. Remember that this is regardless of my alignment just like the other three IC players.
Now if only Adumb would post.
Tery's most recent post. Everything here is pretty null.
After this post-by-post, I'm really still coming up with a null read on tery, if only because the only content he's given was between Serin and me. There was some legitimate scumhunting in a few of these posts, but I'd like to hear Tery's opinion on some other players (marathonman and Ryker, maybe?).
Ryker next.
