Newbie 1963 - Game Over

[Saladman27]

VOTE: Chibiie Thanks for showing me I can’t trust anyone.

[Saladman27]

Also, anything you guys say can and will be used in my next modding venture.

[Saladman27]

Ah, you have so much to learn in just around 20 pages.

[Saladman27]

Come on guys, let's get along : ( VOTE: No Lynch since we don't know anything yet.

I wrote this out while scum, but it remains true (scum can’t/shouldn’t bs mechanics). The short of it is that there will be a lynch today.

1. No lynching does not "add a target for scum." Whether or not we lynch today, we must catch a scum by D3. All no-lynching does is turn worst-case D3 lylo (3-2) into mylo (4-2). This actually lowers the odds of successfully lynching scum on a day where scum must be lynched or town loses (hence lylo - lynch or lose/mylo - mislynch and lose)

2. In order to catch a scum by D3, we need all the information we can get. Mislynches provide info. Who is pushing it, who gets onto it at a key time for weak reasons, who avoided the wagon like the plague. Scum is most regularly 1-on, 1-off town wagons. If they are both together, they are both on far more often than both off. Its information like this/vcas that is imperative.

3. There is minimal risk of hitting PRs (and doing so can be good). Wagons must build to L-1, then to intent (absent deadline pressure). At intent, the PR can claim. If they are the real PR, then they dont get lynched, we have chained the NK in a way scum might not have wanted and PRs might protect, and we can do the same VCA but now without even the cost of a town.

4. Literal no downside. Sure, towny could die. But see 1, it doesnt change day structure/number of targets for scum at all.

I remember this, it helped me boost my ultimate downfall.

Shameless plug from my previous modding venture but this is good for newbies like Gardenia.

Btw for super new newbs

VT - Vanilla Townie

PR - Power Role

ML - Mislynch

TR - Town Read
TL - Town Lean
SL - Scum Lean
SR - Scum Read

PoE - Process of Elimination

NK - Night Kill

JK - Jailkeep

NAI - Non Alignment Indicitive

Sheeping - Following the crowd

Pocketing - synonym for buddying, which means making someone else think you're less of a threat by acting friendly or something of the sort.

WIFOM - Wine in Front of Me
Lets say something is the optimal play for town. But then scum does it to confuse town and if we ML then it might actually be better for scum.

Town!x - refers to "if x is town..."
For example, town!emps would post more

Scum!x - refers to "if x is scum"
For example, scum!emps would sheep more

Scum!x and town!x can, and usually will be paraphrased, because "if emps is scum would sheep more"
Makes like no sense

@Newnewbs Is this your first game of mafia ever or have you played before on different sites?

[Saladman27]

Brit Jojo, what’s your experience with Mafia?

[Saladman27]

It might agressive!Town but I can see FF being a little bit “crunchy”.
Context: https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... er_sort=Go

[Saladman27]

Crunchy /ˈkrʌntʃi/
Adjective
To defend yourself with aggressive posts.

I coined the term from CapnCrunch, someone in my old newbgames who basically had a "Crunchy" playstyle. The link is actually an ISO.

[Saladman27]

Well, 1 just replaced in, another just got prodded and the last one is just making Jojo references. @mario, What do you think of the game so far?

[Saladman27]

Town

Townlean
- Chibiie: Fresh viewpoint, but I’d like a readslist from you, even if the game is dying.
- Gardenia: You’re newb!town for me, I would like it if you could read every player’s ISO (excluding replaced) and write a sentence each on your thoughts about them.

Null
- Mario: Would like to hear your thoughts about the game.
- Teach: I always seem to null read you...
- Uncrowned: You’re eh? I’d like to hear more from you. (P.s. I know the feeling of living in AES/DT)

Scumlean
- Formerfish: Why do you SR teach so much? This might be a tactic to shed light away from your partner, but the question is who?
- Gyro: Kind of lurking here.

Scum

[Saladman27]

@chibiie and Teach, I think the site rules doesn’t say “You’re not allowed to discuss replacements’ It says “You’re not allowed to threaten replacement.”

[Saladman27]

And @chibiie, it definitely gets better, even if I’m the worst player, I seem to enjoy games even more as I play more. There’s so much to learn and so much to look forward to. Modding, scummies and GTKAS/Community! You’re a great player and I don’t want to see that potential lost.

[Saladman27]

I’ve actually never replaced in this game, or my whole time on MS, not even on Mish Mash.

[Saladman27]

I miss the Newbie Queue of yesteryear, 7 months ago. Idk what's up now but when I was a newb, everyone but me actually

played

the game.

[Saladman27]

Let's try to revive this game. CLEAR! VOTE: Gyro

[Saladman27]

@gardenia, Scum team is always 2 in Newbie games.

[Saladman27]

Well that was an eventful 3 hours... VOTE: FF

[Saladman27]

Sorry about your first game turning out bad @Gardenia, hope it won't turn you off from playing in the future.
