Looking for a decent game (RR96%)
I'm looking to join a game with players that will actually play. I haven't played for a couple of years and was quickly reminded why I stopped when in Autumn 01 3 people failed to submit orders in my first game back. My RR is 96% (I'm still ashamed it's not 100% - I CD'ed once before RR was visible and didn't know it would negatively affect my stats). I prefer to play classic. Other than that, I'm not too bothered on rules or phase length. Also, I love players that "ready" often.

Throwing a game
What is everybody's opinion on players throwing a game? There's a debate going on in a game of mine whether it's a form of metagaming or a valid strategy, or just unsportsmanlike, and I'd be curious to see how everyone feels about it.

Gunboat as Austria: Suicide pact with Italy
Premise: Whenever playing gunboat as Austria and you are attacked by Italy right out of the gate, one should always give up as many centers to Turkey as possible and get your last dying armies onto the boot to drag Italy down with you. This is the only way the madness will stop.

Pretty weird joke, accusing the GM of incompetence right after you GMed.... but ok. What do you make of Zorclez copying you?
snowy801 (591 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
@Maniac that is the worst idea ever. The prolific posters are the last people who should be lynched, as I've stated over and over again, as they give reliable tells which the lurkers do not.

@brainbomb so you say, but so far no one else is corroborating your own claims to MVP and my own assessment of your play is that it's terrible whether mafia or town, since people are quickly jumping to lynch you based on your actions, and it's not as if anyone is being convinced by your reads anyway. I also observe that while you're happy to jump on others you rarely respond to queries directed to you.

@rdivera if you finish typing and click out of the box, the link to post reappears (at least on android) for >4 line posts.

Ikaneko has only commented on the bb-gold chain, and has made no input on his own reads, so I'd like to hear more from him.

Since he's here, I want to say I find Maniac very scummy. Here's a list of the comments he's made that makes me think this way:

Hey snowy will you be my best friend? Welcome to being budded. If you need to know anything just ask me I'm highly regarded around these parts. (possibly a joke)

Is it OK to vote for someone based on nothing more than a small thing they did in a webdip game. Legal and moral opinions welcome.

@Jamie @goldfinger @Captmeme (bringing up joke meta reasons to vote people long after the joke phase is clearly over)

Just about to be eliminated' - Dream on, I'm planning on soloing but we shouldn't be talking about a live game in the forum. (continuation of irrelevant topic which should've been dropped)

@Jamie "Let's just lynch whichever player has played the most games as that would make them the biggest veteran.

Who's that? Maniac or Captainmeme perhaps?"

In terms of number of games I'm probably the senior player now. In terms of game time on the pitch, i'm still a newbie and I think snowy has posted more than me already. (why is this even being responded to? how does saying this help town?)

I'm starting to think town generally is dissdvantaged by too much hay which makes finding needles hard. Can we kill a prolific poster today. BB perhaps? Is peter doing post/ word counts again? (there is no hay, only a pile of needles. All comments are relevant, and it's a terrible idea to lynch in prolific posters)

To sum it up I think he's trying to pretend to be contributing to town while leading town astray, and doing it terribly.

It should be mentioned that he instantly voted MoscowFleet for lurking not even an hour into the game, and that Floodgates also hopped on that bandwagon for no good reason.

"The prolific posters are the last people who should be lynched, as I've stated over and over again, as they give reliable tells which the lurkers do not."

Seems like you are giving scum an easy way to trick you, no? Also seems like a way to self-validate your "towniness" by posting a lot.

I just think there isn't much basis for that logic.
Jamiet99uk (758 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
@ snowy: What was all that? If you are quoting other people you need to be more clear. That was a mess.
snowy801 (591 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
I've said this before. If you talk a lot you slip a lot, and nobody's a perfect player. The "trick" only works in the early stages of the game, and I'm speaking specifically about day 1 lynches here.

Right now, if we lynch a prolific poster and mafia perhaps offs another we're left in a situation where the dozen people with not even 300 words or even hasn't even posted yet is forced to judge between themselves with essentially no prior information, especially if town gets lynched day 1 (because then you can't even play a guessing game with bussed vs. not bussed).

This is the clarification to my day 1 lynch policy on lurkers. If you see a flaw in my logic feel free to point it out, but I believe it to be sound judgment (or else I wouldn't be pushing it this hard).

Ikaneko (97 D)

To be fair, I don't think killing heavy contributors is a sound strat D1, we need at least a small bit of justification to kill them, and in general those who contribute heavily bring others into the game, force out lurkers and can consistently apply pressure. I think lynching lurkers is a good policy D1 as it forces people out into the light where they can be put under scrutiny.

@BB Just stop acting as if everyone who criticises your playstyle is scum, I want you to contribute but you just act petulantly in response. So confusing.
You are not a scapegoat. Everyone just finds your playstyle annoying, abrasive and tunnel-visioned. Please contribute in a more civil and open-minded way like everyone else.
