Newbie 2037 - Game Over

[ItalianoVD]

Let’s make things interesting with some RQS

For those that don’t know, RQS is called Random Questioning Stage and it has its advantages. And this is for everyone in the playerlist. Non answers get scumread.

1. What is your overall mafia experience? Not just on this site.
2. Do you prefer playing scum/wolf or town/village?
3. In your opinion, what are some of the top things to look for when scumhunting?
4. When townhunting?
5. Is it easy or difficult for you to lie?

=======================

1. I’ve been playing the wolf version of mafia since 2006. Mafiascum.net for 5 months.
2. Town/Village
3. Apathy, inconsistencies, passiveness/aggressiveness giving the context, perfect posting, and voting patterns.
4. Disagreeableness, having one’s own mind and gut feel. Oh and a little scumminess never hurt.
5. Yes. I find it very difficult to lie and work to just not do it.

Smooth. It seems like you're pretty experienced at manipulating people to do what you want them to do?

In any case, I don't want to get scumread, so here goes:

1. What is your overall mafia experience? Not just on this site.
2. Do you prefer playing scum/wolf or town/village?
3. In your opinion, what are some of the top things to look for when scumhunting?
4. When townhunting?
5. Is it easy or difficult for you to lie?

1. I have little/no mafia experience. I witnessed my housemate play a game on a different site once, but that's the extent as to how far my knowledge goes.
2. I can't really comment due to lack of experience.
3. Look out for contradictions, deliberately misusing peoples quotes out of context in order to fit their own agenda and lurking/deliberately staying out of the thread to avoid questions/trying to slip under the radar.
4. Look for people who have their own reads and back it up with proof instead of just blindly hopping on the bandwagon because everyone else is. The more activity to go off, the better. Being too verbose could have an adverse effect too I guess. I dunno, it's a tough one
5. I can't lie worth a ****. I always inevitably get called out on it and I'm not the best at thinking on my feet, so I figure it's not worth the hassle.

[Rockhopper]

that's cool, i respect that. i think its very much possible that an experienced mafia player can experiment with different playstyles here, in which case metareading them wouldn't be as effective, if that makes any sense.

Don't hang your hat on meta. I'm amazed how much stock is put into it on this site.

yeah i see what you mean. guess you could say one shouldn't be overly...

metaculous

mi ryt lol

I am testing reactions

this post actually gives off town vibes to me tbh, i can elaborate on this if someone wants (ps im not really good at articulation)

1. ive played mafia with some irl friends, read a few games here back when i registered (couldn't play cus school and stuff) and read a few recently completed games too
2. playing scum gives me a kind of thrill which i really enjoy, but i like deducing stuff as town too
3. (shouldnt reveal top secret 1000iq strats)
4. (shouldnt reveal top secret 1000iq strats)
5. ez pz i think

I have to go to work soon, will post more when I'm back in about ~6 hours.
Is it normal in these newbie games to have an SE teamed up with a newb as the scum faction? What a the chances of a SE/SE or a newb/newb pairing?

I've played on this site twice and in game 1 the scum team was newb/SE and game 2 was newb/newb.

It's safe to say it's totally random. There are only 3 SE's, so it'd just be a game of attrition if 1 was always scum.

RQS is a new one to me and isn't on the Mafia Wiki.

To answer your questions:

1.I played a handful of basic games on a wrestling forum 10 years ago. This is my 3rd game on this website.

2.Town, specifically VT. I struggle with the pressure that comes with a scum or power role and just prefer to be able to post unfiltered without stressing over what people will read into my posts.

3.I'm not going to share the tells that I look for, but I immediately scumread people who post something like

Non answers get scumread.

4.Application of logic

5.Easy to post, but I agonise over it for an age before posting.

Sorry for the triple post.

ItalianoVD, do you dislike RVS?

Sorry for the triple post.

Ehh, I don’t prefer it. I’d rather jut get to the scumhunting; Actually I don’t like Day 1s cause there’s not a lot to go on and you usually have to get lucky to get scum on the first day.

Yeah I’m gonna townread this question because if you were scum you’d probably just ask your partner or the mod this question. It’s already been answered so no use being redundant.

Hey everyone! This is a fairly new player list how exciting

1 Eh it’s okay I guess not exactly experienced but I know how the game works lol
2 Really depends on my mood but most of the time I like playing town as I like picking who I think the scum is
3 Reactions to posts directed at the certain player
4 How well they try to solve the game
5 Difficult extremely difficult lol

[MiniMegabyte]

Also Italiano I’m not gonna say it’s a scum read on you but the questions on what people look for when town hunting/scum hunting pings me as something a scum would ask to try and play to the townie way each person describes

Italiano do you feel you can scum hunt easier with RQS instead of RVS?

what do you make of bak's post?

[Facebones]

Dunnstral, do you have anything to add to post #10? Keen to hear your thoughts on the matter

[Norfolk Boy1]

Is the RQS the basis for your vote or did it influence it at all?

Nah nothing influenced my vote generally a vote that’s made in RVS isn’t influenced by much if anything at all

[MiniMegabyte]

Anyways I’m off to sleep night all!

[Bakslash]

1. I play on Mafia.gg alot and I also used to play town of salem.
2. I prefer being town.
3. When scumhunting I think you should look for people who haven't contributed much to the conversation.
4. When townhunting I try to ask myself if they would do this as a mafia.
5. Pretty hard to lie ngl.

She voted for ItalianoVD before the RQS saga even came into the equation. How could it possibly be the basis for her vote?

3. Look out for contradictions, deliberately misusing peoples quotes

out of context

in order to fit their own agenda and lurking/deliberately staying out of the thread to avoid questions/trying to slip under the radar.

You really think I’d be asking the town how to scum?

Italiano do you feel you can scum hunt easier with RQS instead of RVS?

My take on it is that both RQS and RVS are ways to get to know the players. I think RQS is a more direct way and RVS a more indirect way, but to answer your question yes. I feel RQS helps me understand the players better than RVS, which in turn helps in scumhunting and also townhunting.
