Yeah I think this is the definite play for gear today.
VOTE: House
Because of what you did to me in our last game.

This is scum-think. A vig shot before a cop? Right, because what townie wants to actually know a player's alignment before they kill them?

Buy: Tier 3

That's an interesting assumption.
This is my first theme game, but isn't that always the case? I've never played a game where the opposing alignments had the same role title.

Unvote Tier Thing
acronym, my usual approach is to ask a ton of questions, some game related and some not, and get a "voice" for each player to intuit off but you're lucky I've decided to try being more analytic this game.
What are you an acronym for or of?
↑ Albert B. Rampage wrote:Scum fear the vig. That's why they don't want to buy it.
↑ Nero Cain wrote:an infinitive shot vig is p cool and yes, it will have seeable results but no way are we vigging each night. An investigation we WILL be using each night and therefore I think its the best one to have early. And honestly? Its not like we don't get to buy again so we can buy a potential vig if we want tomorrow. This whole "we have to buy it TODAY!" seems quite silly. Between ABR and elusive I can't tell if they are trigger happy town or scum that wants a vig to help them. Even if they don't control the vig it produces dead bodies and that's what scum need. dead bodies. But I actually like a few things that elusive has said so ABR is our d1 lynch you guys.
vote:ABR

In general the balance of information is critical to the dynamic aspect of Mafiacraft, some players will have more than others. However, this informational divide is not intended to hurt a players chances of playing their own role effectively. As a rule, if you have a question about how your specific role interacts with certain mechanics in the game you should bold your question in-thread or PM me directly. You're still welcome to form theories about the other classes/races/alignments as you wish, but I can't give definitive answers one way or the other - these things will become clear with time.
Also a big shoutout to the manager of our R&D team, ika. There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes to make Mafiacraft run smoothly so we're lucky to have his talent and support.

Right, because it's not like a vig could be NK'ed night 1 just as easily as any other PR.

This just strengthens my assumption that only pro-town players areUngeared Raiders. Everything we need is in that post if we look carefully.
↑ killerjester wrote:Gearing Up!
There is no limit on the amount of timesthe towncan purchase from a Tier.
I think the wording in these posts is carefully deliberate. These are pro-town roles, I don't think they would go to scum.
When gear has been bought it will go to theUngeared Raiderwith the highest-roll on a d100 loot system.
Specifically mentioning the role-name we have in the example role PM.
Once a player has been "geared" they may not receive additional powers, and no rerolls are allowed so choose wisely.
Uses the word player instead of Ungeared Raider. This rule would apply to all players, where the previous one only applies to pro-town Ungeared Raiders.
RAIDERS- Begin Day1 with 20 Raid Tokens
Specifying the Raiders group. Implies there are other groups.

What do you think of ABR's game and alignment here?
Haven't I been clear about that?
I'm reading his vig push as scummy. He's being way too manipulative with it, unlike your own support of it where you are discussing all the options (though you clearly favor the vig shot).
↑ Albert B. Rampage wrote:acryion vote bankaikiller
My thinking is that town and scum have to commit to one person reading as scummy to them which is useful for analyzing wagons and later play\flips\alignment.
↑ Albert B. Rampage wrote:We need more bandwagons.
↑ Albert B. Rampage wrote:He plays like that as town too.
↑ elusive wrote:
Oh, these are more questionsall for townand hopefully acryon approves:
1. Where is your avatar from and why did you choose it?
2. Where is your user name from and why did you choose it?
3. What is your mafia experience?
4. Highest accomplishment or most proud moment for you in a mafia game?
5. Saddest moment for you in a mafia game?
↑ kiwieagle wrote:Ok so ABR is getting fooled by the classic newbie card. Ok see let me explain.
I know this because thats how I use to play scum.
Appear like a newbie fool and then everyone ignores me and just laughs. Coast on to victory.
I can even link you where I did that if anyone really wants to know.

↑ TroubledTownie wrote:VOTE: bankaikiller
Poor reaction to the votes as they piled on, instant OMGUS-voting anybody who voted for him, and showing emotion/insults that don't match early posting. Seems too sensitive to early accusations.
↑ House wrote:↑ acryon wrote:
Because JK essentially gets two chances of protecting each night (hitting scum or the townie getting shot).
Well... which is it?

↑ House wrote:
Relax, he's scum.
↑ GGG wrote:This is also scum. The argument that town should be consistent is false. Townies don't know who the scum and town are so their thoughts will evolve and change and not always fluidly. So pointing to confidence and consistency as a town trait is pretty scummy especially while at the same time scum reading someone for doing the opisite of your behaviour.
↑ elusive wrote:Ozgin, its a couple of things about him. I'm phone posting and will do a ISO case to tonight or whenever I can. Here's a quick summary to the best of my memory:
1. Bankai falls apart and kiwi eggs him on and gloats that Kiwi as scum could pull off an emotional gambit but bankai can't.
2. Kiwi claims he will decimate scum.
3. I put a vote on kiwi because of the gloat and something about the tone of that post felt smug, bankai had already erupted and kiwi chose him as a scum target after the fact. Also when someone boasts like that but doesn't pull through it pings me hard since what scum is is to talk without actual actions.
4. Kiwis reactions to my one single vote were ridiculously bad. Like I don't feel much pressure right now and I might be lynched toDay. Emotions are all steady, I've been tunneled pretty hard as town by town and scum so were still in the minor leagues.
5. Kiwi specifically mentions that he wasn't going to get emotional and gets really really emotional. For no reason which is why I called drama or theatrics. He just told a guy he's good at fake out frame then he does some totally crazy response to soft poke.
6. I refuse to answer his questions BC they are make a case on him and a parrot of my own questions. The answers he gave as I stated don't give any reads on his scum. I'm used to people making cases, if this is not the case in this game ya'll better lynch me quick because a person without cases...what is this Town of Salem?
7. Kiwi continues to get heated without reason. I may have poked hard but only after being called dumb ass scum which was part of the ongoing OMGUS. Oh and retard fight I didn't find that to be complimentary to me or bankai? Unclear who the second was.
8. His reaction to my deciding not to make a case, mostly because I was having technical issues makes him go off even more. Like patience.
9. His entire case on me is not answering questions and then going from small tiny posts to large ones. How does that make sense? What scum mindset can you figure out from those?
So therefore scummy acting scummy and petulant.
Oh and GGG, same thing for you. You find questions scummy, explain why. Then the post of yours that Ozgin quotes actually means that you can build a case on kiwi who believes that post lengths must conform or its scummy. Or at least take down his logic because thats what town does find areas where logic doesn't follow or where actions and words don't match up.
Rampage, what are you offering in return? The ability to spin straw into gold?
↑ Albert B. Rampage wrote:Lynch me tomorrow if elusive flips town.
↑ Albert B. Rampage wrote:I'm not even kidding. She is scum and you're just holding out on a vote is going to cost us.
↑ TroubledTownie wrote:↑ Albert B. Rampage wrote:She FREAKED OUT when she thought I was calling her scummy when I was answering her question. Then she flipped out and acted waaaay overdefensive like noob scum all over the recent pages. It's 100% obvious if you read.
I agree with you on this... that post was weird. The tone is different from elusive's tone in response to kiwi's accusations. I see two possibilites.
1 - Town elusive forgot the question she asked ABR 30 minutes earlier.
2 - Scum elusive was already in defensive mode against Kiwi and saw someone else coming after her... overreacted.
Number 2 seems much more likely to me.
VOTE: elusive
BTW, I read through some of ABR's theory posts linked on his wiki, so I understand now what he's doing. I have him at a null read now.
