When does the game begin? 32nd January?

6th of February.

Lets talk strategy. Last game what did town do right? What could have been better? What did scum do that was so effective for so long?

I think we should pick a few players after each game and talk about what they did well. I felt the strongest performer D1-D5 was DeathLlama who was scum.

His scum meta was very similair to his town meta. I think his bussing RHK would have been better if RHK had died first among scum.

-I'm sitting this one out in respect for you guys. I've not got enough time to handle RL responsibilities this season, much less time to participate responsibly in a game. I'll be in the spectator thread when/where I can, following along with the rest of town as they figure things out. That said, I've seen how beneficial it is to have subs ready, support subbing over modkilling, and want to see a good game. If things are so dire that I am needed to sub in, I will likely not be able to read the entire backlog of pages, so sub ND in first.

-Jamie asked about the idea of having to end the day by hammering it. The benefits of the day-hammer seem to be more incentive for participation, but I'm not sure that outweighs the benefits of fixed-length phases. IMO fixed phases helps people in different time zones be able to participate in the same phase, even if no one is online when you are. You don't all have to be online a whole lot at the same time, but have the freedom to check in when you can, or post according to a strategy that includes the use of time. Fixed length phases means that you can play within a stable framework of *time* ...as part of the game. That's present for day-hammering, but not at all the same way. I like it the way we have better. Solutions to lurking are... well, some develop naturally. I got quite-rightly nailed as lurky obvscum. If that tactic catches on, good town metagame shift ought to begin thinking about policy lynching lurkers, or at least putting _significant_ pressure (significant means "more than three votes for about an hour")

-IMO, a standardized doc role should be able to self-save, but that save counts as a "visit" (for watcher/CCTV purposes), regardless of the weirdness that causes for the flavor. And of course, the doc counts as a "player" so that he/she cannot visit the same player on consecutive nights.

-I'm glad to see darg GMing, and a vanilla setup.

-I can confirm that zorclex' schudule prevented him from actually playing and reading before the time he confirmed he'd be available. He did get subbed in early,

-RIP goldfinger. maybe you should have had your threatened family sign up to play.

My advice to Peterlund is to learn to interpret data from your vote counter/ post counter. Your drying words were that myself and Balki were scum...

We both died from scum for a reason

I was happy to see I still can keep teacon busy though. ;)

I should apologize. My fake claim meta is inadvisable, its reckless and sub optimal. So, I think its time to put that aside. Many town lost their lives because of me.

For the new players yer gonna hear alot of weird terms: wifom, omgus, chainsawwing, anchoring, lurking, spamming, parroting and piggybacking

Yes, you will hear these terms, and in case you are worried, no, we will not explain what they mean.

PM VashtaNeurotic for any desired explanation of the above terms. He's always happy to help.

You can PM me or Email me at [email protected] and I will gladly provide a how to play guide, optimal standard play practices, and vocab

The important part of this game is really about not falling behind and being able to keep up with the flow of the game. This doesnt mean posting every 5 minutes

Many people will te you that I ruin the games, that everything is my fualt and killing me is best idea. You have to decide for yourself.

Wifom: mafia deception, bussing, ect
Bussing: mafia voting for each other
Omgus: voting someone angrily who voted you. Retaliatory act. (Scummy)

Are you specifically talking to someone.. Or?

Anchoring: voting someone without a reason and disappearing.
Chainsawwing: attacking someone who is targeting your scum buddy

Parroting: taking someone elses idea and repackaging it as your own.

Looking back I found this message:
(peterlund, Night-2 03:18, page 85) "Yes you should point your gun somewhere else. You basically get no info out of finding out that I am a VT as I claim. There are much better shots to take. If I die please remember who the people where that set me up. Balki, Xorxes, RHK, Brain, ..."

In this list I had actually 2 scum! :) (but also 2 town.)

Very good! My bad peterlund
