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.

Sorry forgot ikaneko too. 9/17 players. Goldie wants us to ignore over 50% of the player pool to lynch a veteran and make D1 meaningful. Sounds like he means me.

Well I just woke up. My bad theres 21 players. So excluding lynching himself he means 9/20 ***nearly*** 50%.

Okay, I'll try to clarify what I've said previously, though all the commentary on what I've said is convincing me I should just stay quiet so I don't distract the town too much.
First the comment on Jamie that brain and Moscow wanted an explanation for
-Brainbomb, in his note1, mentioned his thoughts on snowy and Jamie, so I thought that it would be good to continue discussion on that. Snowy was easy, since I know him, but I didn't want to skip on Jamie, so I gave what impression I had.
-As far as my statement about not having to make promises, my reasoning was that even if I made some objective claim or promise, it doesn't mean much because I can't offer any proof. I'm happy to claim VT, but I just didn't think that would mean anything to you guys, since you don't have any reason to believe me other than my own claim.
brainbomb (290 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
" I'm happy to claim VT"
So are you VT or is it just a claim.
Balduran (119 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
I am VT.
Take that as you will.
brainbomb, what are you smoking. Most of those players have played multiple games already. If there's anyone being irrational here, it's you.

Rdrivera, I said I wouldn't lynch them, not that I wouldn't pressure them. Why are you ignoring part of my statement?
Looking through the list, I see only Balduran, snowy, and civwarbuff whom I believe have never played forum mafia before.
Jamiet99uk (758 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
Brainbomb, I looked back at Goldfinger's post and he said he would not lynch a "new player" not that he would only lynch "a veteran".

Your list of new players seems to include several people I would not regard as "newbies" really:

Rdrivera has played 3 or 4 times.
Ezio has played at least twice before.
I think this is Zorclex's third game.

@Goldfinger: Just for clarity would you consider voting for Rdrivera2005, Ezio or Zorclex (if you had cause to do so) or would you put them on your "will not lynch" list today?
Jamiet99uk (758 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
Oh sorry cross-post with Goldie, he answered my question.
brainbomb (290 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
Well goldfinger maybe you need to clarify what makes someone "veteran" then. Sorry but I dont classify ezio; peterlund; tom bombadil, ikaneko as fuckin veteran
I mean, at this point I think rdrivera, Peterlund and zorclex have played as many games as I have.

Brainbomb, am I a newb?
Well bb, then stop imposing your own judgemental standards of the worth of other players onto me. I said newb. That generally means "new player" and "new players" are typically ones who are in their first game
Jamiet99uk (758 D)
07 Feb 17 UTC
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?
Tom Bombadil (4023 D(G))

@rdrivera: You talk about the merits of pressuring new players, especially d1, yet you end up voting goldfinger and haven't pressured any newbs. Why is that?

@brainbomb, goldie clearly meant people who have never played before when marking newbies. The fact that you're spinning this ludicrous tale where suddenly he's refusing to vote for half the people in the game is frankly stupid.

@Floodgates there is a certain breed of mafia player who try to participate just enough to avoid being marked as a lurker, and yet never actually make contributions to town. Your first few comments had me flagging you as being of this variant which is why I singled you out.

On a related note, it would be stupid to vote goldie right now. The fact is nobody is a perfect, and the more you talk the more you reveal your alignment as either mafia or town, and it would be crazy to lynch the third most talkative player in the game, when there are people who still haven't even talked yet. As the game progresses the talkative mafia will make slips and will be easier to identify as the game moves on, whereas if, say, Chaqa was mafia I would have no idea either way. What we should be doing is pressuring the invisible players who we have reason to suspect (coughcivwarbuffcough) to spit out more information to work with, and not MAD the two most contributive players in the game.

@brainbomb I would ask, given Jamiet's comment of "let's lynch the most veteran player there is", whether you still think his switch is natural. I would also like to hear more from people like Chaqa, Ezio, Zorclex and captainmeme who have clearly started the game, and yet has said nothing useful. I will observe that Floodgates still hasn't said anything contributive in his last comment.

Fact: rdrivera has been scum 2 games in a row
Fact: rdrivera is always scum
Alternative Fact: rdrivera must be scum this game

Conclusion: rdrivera? SAD!

@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.
