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.

^xpost, first paragraph aimed at brain.

Brain is spammy, contradictory, all over the place. He's a great guy imo (BUDDYING) but is like a dog with a bone with short term memory loss, when it comes to mafia.

Id rather find out if hes one of the 5 scum goldy. Or was that not clear?
That really was not clear, brain. It looked an awful lot like saying

"He could be in pile A, which includes vanilla town and scum; or he could be in pile B, which includes town PRs"
snowy801 (591 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
I will say that my reason for wanting to keep Balduran in the game is not something so altruistic as our being friends, but because I think he's the one I have the best chance of accurately reading.
snowy801 (591 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
Further, even taking everything as straight value, I can't see how as we currently stand you could convince yourself to switch from civwarbuff to Balduran. Their level of scumminess are not comparable, in my opinion.
brainbomb (290 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
Explain.
brainbomb (290 D)

"Their level of scumminess are not comparable, in my opinion"
So one is extremely scummy and one isnt? (This is getting good)
snowy801 (591 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
Explain what? civwarbuff's scumminess? You believe his initial comment was a pivot. I'm not so convinced, but both of us agree that his deflection of the question and hostile remarks to Jamiet, and on my part the "nothing really happening" comment soon thereafter was highly questionable.

Versus what, a guy who may be softing VT (which again I don't agree with the interpretation, and obviously I believe my own interpretation of his statements is more reliable) and is in any case a rank newbie?

I know your votes have been all over the place and Moscow seems to corroborate this tendency, but I have to wonder how you decided Balduran is a better lynch than civwarbuff (again, as it stands - statements and reads can change tomorrow).
snowy801 (591 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
Yes, to be completely honest I don't have a scumread on Bald. All these things he's said are completely typical of him.

"He could be in pile A, which includes vanilla town and scum; or he could be in pile B, which includes town PRs"
(Pure fucking bullshit)
brainbomb (290 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
Part B was never implied. I said there is no way he is a PR. Thats worlds different than me voting him; then implying he could be.
brainbomb (290 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
I wasnt asking for clarity on of he was a PR. I was clarifying that by his own admission he has no promises he can make, no objective claims, and is lying
"Balduran doesnt like lying. But lying wont be an issue here for him because he has no promises to make or objective claims. So hes admitting hes scum or vt yes?"

That is your quote. Let me enhance a bit.

"So he's admitting he's scum or vt, yes?"

"SCUM OR VT"

What else is there bb? Please, tell me. I'd love to know how you weren't implicitly looking for PR there.
brainbomb (290 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
In every lynch we are implicitly looking for what is not our most valuable assets. Anyone claiming vt should be put under a microscope as godfather.
brainbomb (290 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
You keep trying to contort it to fit a narrative I am PR hunting while you yourself defend all new players as beyond scrutiny.
brainbomb (290 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
I made an observation this player says he will never need to make any promises or claims this game. That tells me hes not afraid of ever being lynched or nk'd.
No, brainbomb. What I did was find something you said and point it out. And instead of actually looking back at it and seeing that it comes off exactly as I'm saying it does, you called it "Pure fucking bullshit"

And now you're trying to defend it as saying you're hunting for godfather and that I'm the one who is contorting the narrative. That seems like specious reasoning to me.

@Brain - I was Mafia 3 of 4 games here, this means my chance of being Mafia in this game is the same as any other player.
You asked about QT, what I can say is that it clearly depends on the players. M25 Chaqa took the lead on the QT being the more experienced ones (big mistake). Last one as we have many lurkers I tried to speak more but it didn't worked at the end. And M23 I was alone most of the time. But in none of them we discussed which page to post or something like thpat. And in D1 there is no coordenation yet, so I don't think it will help us.

Until now I find odd Moscow and Goldie behaviour. Moscow because he is so calm and controlled, not really like last games. And goldie because this stupid "will not vote newbies" thing. Newbies should be pressured like everyone else, and D1 is a good moment to do that because if they are scum they don't have any advice from the others yet. But I can follow his suggestion: ##vote goldie

@brainbomb - Yes, I know MF was joking with his 'anxious' comment. However, I feel like he may have intentionally referenced his anxiousness from last game in an attempt remind us of his town role there, hoping to link it to this game. No proof, just a feeling. I'll roll with it for now though.

@ Maniac: If you were voting someone to punish them for their conduct in a dip game that'd be fairly awful. If you'd analysed their conduct in dip press and felt this gave you an insight into when and how they might lie or make false claims them that's totally legit. Why do you ask?

I notice Maniac is only asking people who are in a game from which he's just about to be eliminated as Austria...
Jamiet99uk (758 D)

Well, 5 of the folks he asked are, anyway. HR was a dreadful, shitty, obnoxious sitter in that game and halfway ruined it.

'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.

It's not an anonymous game, Maniac. Don't be silly.

Now, again, why did you ask this question?
