Mafia 94: When Gingers Attack; the play

I disagree. I think it's easier for scum to hide when there is lots of commotion going on. If there is a little slip up by scum while there is a lot going on, it's dismissed easier because of all the other little slip-ups by everyone else. The fact that you want more commotion seems scummy to me.

Chill used the G word! Must be scum!

Good luck with everything, I know that can be pretty hectic.

What's easier to find...a talkative mafia or one that hardly posts? It's hard for anyone to "slip up" when they don't say anything...

I think that generally the mafia have an easier time when discussion is low. There are certainly exceptions but IMO talking only serves to benefit the town, problem is that it has to be the right kind of talk.

I understand what you're saying. But when it gets so crazy and hectic like it often does, there are so many 'shady' posts that it's nearly impossible to pick out scum from the rest. Yes, more experienced mafia players will do a better job at staying low, but it's likely there is a new player on the scum team and they are more likely to post a lot and slip up. I just think it's funny that plantling wants a lot of commotion.

AAF is the only player who is remotely new...I'm not great at probabilities but I would hardly say that is is "likely" that they are scum.

Discussion =/= commotion.

If you don't want people to talk, should I assume that you want everyone to then be quiet?

I think that Plant pushing the "get everyone to talk" angle this early in the game is odd...we're 24 hrs in and it takes time for the game to take off...but the point(s) you're trying to make aren't making much sense either.

Oh, Ok, I haven't been around for a while, thought there might be some new players.

I don't want everyone to be quiet, not in the least, I just don't think it's good when there are so many posts that it can become overwhelming to read and decipher every single one.
 
Pir who else on this list (other than AAF) haven't you played with? The only one that I could think of would be Plant, but did you not get the hint that she has played before?

In all honesty, I didn't read over the player list. I see what you're saying.
Conversation is a good thing. You get people talking even about nothing, things come out. I know I was nailed by 2H once for inane banter that revealed I was on the scum team.
I remember that.
 
Plant, is there any reason you keep bringing up the idea of discussion, low posting, etc.? I don't disagree that it is good for us to talk, but it seems over the top you would mention it in so many of your posts this early. Just a common theme, I guess, that I keep reading in your posts...

Wow, first 3 days are 48 hours. When reading old games, first two days being that long seemed eternal. Guess it gives more time for discussions. I am usually a low to moderate poster but anyone who can't manage to post some useful thought about the game will be getting my vote. Hope you evil carrot tops don't think you're gonna glide thru the game by hiding and laying low. Hope to see lots of posts by the time i get home from work tonite.

Woooooot! So glad to be playing again. Can't wait to kick some evil scum butt. Let's kick some doors and shake some trees to flush out the gingers! :clap:

And I agree we should wait and see posting quality and volume before deciding if we need the 3rd 48 hour day. I don't want a lot of lame excuses as to why ppl can't manage to post though.

A few still to post, but the game did just start hours ago.

According to my notes, unless I just missed it somehow, 2H hasn't posted. Can't recall if they were all that active in the other games. Anyone? Hope to hear from him and more from others throughout the day. Remember, the innocents only allow the evils to hide among them when they are so laxed. More posting (non "fluff" posts) equals more discussions and info we have to go on.

IME, there are 3-4 gingers. 4 might be high as they have 1 50/50 chance to gain one. Another reason to post our thoughts so that if they are successful in turning one of us we might can tell by a change in attitude towards others, posting style, etc.

Just note taking error. Since not using my laptop, I'm literally taking notes with pen and paper. Thanks for pointing out my error, makes me feel like you are paying attention. However if I had a teammate that hadn't posted, I'd definitely not mention others who haven't posted, thereby drawing attention to the nonposters. Do you have a problem with me asking ppl to post more?

More later if I manage to get another break at work.

I'm not going to answer for 2H but it is odd to me that you would even need to remind or ask anyone to post more, especially to that extent, when we have barely started the game. I know you haven't been around lately but pretty sure everyone here knows that (with the exception of Pir it seems) posting is good.

It seems as if you want to appear overly helpful from the start...
