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.

As far as I can tell, blood feud is good at this point in the game because it gets talk moving and causes people to take sides. And of course, more talk means more information and more chances for scum to slip up.

Brainbomb your commitment to the mic stilk sucks. Tom, I wish you'd talk about something other than Brainbomb's soundcloud. I will note that the boxers or briefs question was specifically posed to me by Tom Bombadil, but I don't think that's worth talking about much longer.

I disagree with your assessment on civwarbuff. The only noteworthy conversations happening immediately prior to his comment were from me, brainbomb and Tom and the comments that I and brainbomb made were mostly settled and didn't require diverting from. So if we're tasked with the question of whether

"Hey snowy - you know Balduran right?

Share everything you know about him. How does he play? What is his normal personality? What is his greatest fear? His ideal woman? Boxers or briefs?

Give us some insight."

Is a comment worth 180ing around from, my own assessment is a resounding no. If, as you posit, civwarbuff is attempting to protect a mafia from a slip or misplay it was a) extremely unnecessary and b) really poorly done. I can't imagine anyone here is that bad at this game, unless this whole thing is a wifom.

Now his response to questions about why he made that comment was pretty scummy. Especially him saying brainbomb is fosing him "for some reason." It should have been very obvious what that reason was, but instead he pretended ignorance. He then proceeded to respond very negatively towards Jamiet's chainsaw, and then topped it off with "not much to talk about," which I didn't think was true at the time. So while his initial comment was nothing noteworthy, I find his follow up very questionable.

@civwarbuff I'd like to hear your thoughts on why you said the things you did.

I was referring to the examples of various scum behavior (used jokingly) shown. I had asked for some tips and explanations in the sign-up thread, and didn't get much of a response. I appreciated being able to see it in action a bit, even if it was purposefully outlandish.
"Fairly informative" was probably overstating it, I was mostly just glad we'd moved beyond the pointless memes ("I am a hotdog bun" and "when do we start") to at least joking/semi-joking votes.
Floodgates (2004 D)

snowy801 (591 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
I'd have more to say but I want to wait until everyone gets a piece in first. With 6 people who haven't even said a word it seems forced to try to dig deeper. I would very much care to hear back from civwarbuff still, however, but that's why it's a 48 hour phase I guess.
Alright, I'm gonna be the only one to come out and say it I guess, but brainbomb I seriously cannot deal with your soundcloud stuff. After work and when I have some downtime I guess I could listen to it, but during work hours and if I'm in any other relatively public setting, I will not be carrying around headphones to listen to your stuff. So, carry on I suppose if you think people will hate you less for it, but I'm telling you I'll be missing a lot of what you say, and I think that's a waste.
But its glad to have a lot of fresh faces here. Its good so that these games don't become too over-laden with meta.

Speaking of meta though, I see this is page four. We're usually onto something semi-substantial by now. Typically, by now, some newbie has said something stupid and there's already a bunch of votes on them for it. I'm actually fairly happy this isn't the case this time around. Too often a new player ends up swinging on day one just because they're a new player. Perhaps we can actually have a useful D1 lynch this time around and lynch a veteran.
Wow, D1 and its been 45 minutes since I posted, with no response.

Where is everyone?! Where are our usual questioners and instigators?

So I have been on an interesting journey this evening. First, I was no longer able to upload notes to soundcloud. couldnt figure out why for hours. So I finally came up with a interesting solution.

I turned my phone into a wifi hotspot since I have no internet at my new place. Well, now I can post on my laptop when I am at home and actually contribute. Instead of making lots of audio clips, (found out I have to upgrade my account there now just to keep posting because I hit my limits for a free membership)... ya fuck that.

For starters
A. Dont understand the bo vote on ezio. also dont know if he actually scumreads ezio. I dont know if I even scum read either of them. So lets table that for now.

B. Civ war didnt answer shit. his reply saying "oh anyways" is a pivot. but a pivot from what? He answered everyones questions to him angrily which is off. he also answered all the questions with questions then left. @anyone, wasnt there some game recently where this guy flipped out and demanded being replaced because he was being bullied by people? maybe if we pressure him and he is scum he will get flustered and out his team or something? not sure but seems like we should all vote him..

hell imma end hammer him ##END.

C. Jamie adjusted, seemed a bit weird but now hes not that bad. I dunno about why meme is voting him, or why he scumread meme.

D. Balduran says alot was learned Page 1. now he says its a joke.

E. Where is ghug? is he on vacation?

F. Does flood not realize moscow is joking? is moscow joking? it was from last game but its also a lie?

G. why is tom different this game? is he better or is he angry for some reason.

H. hi goldy, I will not be able to keep posting audio clips unless I wanna pay a monthly membership to soundcloud. ehhhh. forget that id rather have a wifi hotspot. :)

I. I havent seen much yet this game. snowy has provided 900 words to the thread in only 20 or less posts. I have posted now less than 30 times and produced only 1/3 of the amount of content of snowy.

So why do I not have a strong read on this kid? I dont get it.

I miss alot of the usual players who are in these games. no vecna, no guak, no teacon, no RHK, no dargo (lol), no DemonOverlord, and no kakarroto. Not sure how to even relax here.

@Maniac, carry town?
brainbomb (290 D)

Hi goldfinger, it is nice to see you posting. Lets talk about that awkward civwar post. "so anyways"

what do you think he was saying "so anyways" about? he claims thats his entry into the game... that seems hella fucking awkward to enter a game saying that. its simple but it also feels like hes distancing or moving the game on from some awkward moment. that maybe,... just maybe

his scum buddies voted each other or blatantly addressed each other and he was reacting to it.

which leaves only meme and jamie
or the balduran and snowy excess interactions.
brainbomb (290 D)

@zorclex promising to comb the game for breadcrumbs is such a stupid fucking thing to say too.

why even waste the energy to type shit like that? you are either scum or you literally just want us to waste our time debating if its too scummy to be scum, which is an amazing way to get yourself butchered to a bloody pulp day 1.

your contributions so far are to claim you didnt read your role, vote your brother who isnt in the game, and to tell us you are hunting or town PR.

your play is exclusively anti town 3 strikes so far.
explain, improve, or die real soon.

Snowy - "I'm a firm believer that a day start day 1 does matter, and is far from the "it's basically random" lynch a lot of people I've seen parrot."

Where have you seen people parrot this? Which previous Mafia games have you read? If you've already mentioned this somewhere sorry.

he is referring to my audio clip where I stated the following:

"Jamie seems off, hes doing a thing. Not sure how to explain it, it feels deliberate more forced than everyone else so far. reading him he feltt like a sponge that longed to be a pineapple but was going through the pains of transmorphing into a stage identity"

Its weird balduran would identify with this because what I am saying is insanely vague. I was trying to say that of the joke posters Jamie seems to be alot more serious, his meme vote was lacking an ocothorpe, so I dunno if it actually was serious or not. I think it is weird balduran gravitated to that however.
MoscowFleet (129 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
He sort of agrees with you that Jamie is off, but at the same time Jamie has seemed like himself to him, but at the same time balduran has only read Jamie as GM so how the hell does he know what Jamie is normally like anyways?
