Opposite Gender Friends leads to Lower Academic Performance
Interesting paper I'm reading right now. Not completely done with it, but its methodology seems sound.

Hi I am new, quick question
I am starting a game with some friends, can you play with less than 7 people? If so, is anything different compared to a full game? Thanks :-)

Jesus, Maniac. You'd better not actually be the mayor.

Also PE just did one of my favorite town tells by saying he was leaving, yet still sticking around a bit longer. So huzzah!

Does the mayor get to split his 3 votes up? Or is it a bloc vote.

@chaqa - is that the stupidest thing you've ever said?
ghug (5068 D(B))
22 Jul 15 UTC
@Maniac, there's stiff competition for that title.

I don't like how Fluminuminum is acting. Why are you acting as such, Fluminuminum? What are your goals right now?
Maniac (189 D(B))
22 Jul 15 UTC
@ghug, the correct salutation is 'Mayor Maniac', but 'Jesus Maniac', does have a certain ring to it. Maybe next game.
ghug (5068 D(B))
22 Jul 15 UTC
(That said, Vash is scummy AF so what do I know.)

More tomorrow when I'm like really sober.
ghug mayb mafia too. early impression is questions not going anywhere, and theres this weird tonal overstating of things that doesn't sound right. but the tonal thing could be either alignment. I dnu. Those questiosn suck tho.

Kill Vash / y2k and then mayb ghug. ye

Mafia requires great scum hunting if town are to succeed. We need to find scum, I worry that Chaqa could find his own arse with both hands. No offence.

Is this the same Maniac that argued lynching the experienced players early was the best strategy? Why has it flip-flop

Chaqa (3971 D(B))
22 Jul 15 UTC
I could so find it! Maybe. With Google maps.
Maniac (189 D(B))
22 Jul 15 UTC
@yoyo I had suggested in a previous game that lynching experienced players could be valid town stratagy. But I was wrong. We know from Mafia threads that lynching experienced threats IS a Mafia stratagy. Some say I flip-flop, others say I'm flexible and will listen to reason and change my opinions when the facts change.
Maniac (189 D(B))

Still voting chaqa as he has an arse that can be seem from a satellite, biggest scum tell there is.

Good morning my little angels. How are you?

Guak and Krellin, this is the All Star game, so if not for any other game, stop lurking. You've both been online since the start of the game.

some decent action last night. maniac is starting off as his standard crazy town self it seems, whether he's the mayor or vanilla is to be seen. don't see anything yet to make me want to take my vote off Chaqa.
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
22 Jul 15 UTC
i think if anyone does lurk through most/all of Day 1 I would support a lurker lynch.
Maniac (189 D(B))
22 Jul 15 UTC
Just to echo what yoyo says about lurkers. We have no vig to kill you guys off so we have to do it ourselves. I will be counting posts and assessing contributions closer to day's end. Unless I have firm scum read I'll be leading a wagon on most useless players.

That's right, you hear me, I'm taking numbers and kicking ass.

Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
22 Jul 15 UTC
So, caught up after the night. Thoughts:

y2kjbk: Well, he's gone from being defensive, to essentially whining about always being scummy but trying to say "it's different this time". Then, to add the cherry on top, he tops it off by softclaiming on PAGE THREE. That's horrific.

Vashta: Great. Role analysis. The only roles that are new (Medium and BH) are either self-explanatory, or you give nothing at all. So a whole lot of nothing. Can you wipe my ass for me too? Not a great start.

PE: Seems to be thinking the same thing as me a lot. Maybe that's because we're uber-mafia legends on other sites. Far too early for that to be deliberate shadowing, but also yet to be on something really critical. A little townie.

Maniac: Typical ballsy strategy that I'd expect of him. There's no point in seeing him as anything other than town for today.

Fluminator: Putting a lot of convincing into the end-day strategy, with the argument that scum are more likely to panic if we do it. Fair play. Problem is, he isn't really doing much scumhunting alongside it. Whilst I find the end-logic tolerable, I'm not quite buying it, and the fact he isn't also trying to home in on mafia and put a lot of pressure on someone to make them panic like he apparently wants does make me a bit suspicious of him. The most pressure he's managed is telling Vashta "you're my number one scumread right now". Not exactly tearing into someone.

Yoyoyozo: His "joking" around with ghug went on a bit too long for my tastes, but he instantly picked out some of the stuff I dislike about y2k, and pressured him on it. I like that.

WardenDresden: Didn't buckle under the Maniac pressure, and pressured Vashta. Reasonable start. I'm not particularly bothered by the NL thing, though if he leaves it up later then that might change. People throwing silly votes around early on seems to be the fashion here.

Nothing unexpected from Chaqa/ghug/tvrocks, whilst thdfrance has only given his (not great) entry post and guak/krellin haven't said anything at all. That leaves wjessop, who has posted a few times but hasn't done anything of note at all. I suppose that's good, as what noteworthy stuff he did last game, he did as mafia, but I was expecting a bit more from him.

Oh, and ##vote y2k
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
22 Jul 15 UTC
i think you'll find if i make it past Day 1/Night 1 into Day 2, I'll be doing much more scumhunting and much less talking about myself and my personal thoughts, which i guess sounds scummy and defensive. i'm just trying to be honest and open with my thinking.
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
22 Jul 15 UTC
And you can't do that now because...?
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
22 Jul 15 UTC
i am doing it, i'm being honest with my thoughts and typing them here and people are reading me scummy for it.

Pacific Northwest FTF
I've only ever played FTF with people who don't really care about the game and want to be done after a year, and I always feel a twinge of jealousy when I sew those people having fun playing in real life on that crappy coast across the country. This is just a post to see who might be interested in getting something set up on this side of the country. I'm in the Seattle area.

Conundrum
So the people who make the schedules at my school are kinda dumb. I signed up for both AP Micro/Macroeconomics and AP European History. Only one class of each is being offered. And they happen to be the same hour. So I need to drop one and pick up some other course. I really don't know, so what (preferably AP) course would you suggest for me to take instead of AP Micro/Macroeconomics (because there's no chance I'll drop Euro)?

Getting Germany every single game
Hi everybody, I'd like to ask if anyone has experience with an account getting a certain country every single game. One of my friends who I've played in several games against has drawn Germany out of the pot every single time. We're onto the fifth time out of 5 games he's gotten Germany.

I'd put it up to chance but we've reached 5 sigma and are on our way to 6. Thoughts?
