Eurobricks Mafia Day One: Let the metagaming begin!

[Hinckley]

What I find hilarious is that the world evolves around Def.

No no no! Not bob. It was Scuba the guy everyone is glad isn't playing this game.

Everyone voting for one person will give us zero voting record to go off of. I was presenting another option for a lynch- one that I thought personally hadn't given us much of anything. I don't understand the case against Flare and would rather get rid of someone who has said lots but done little.

The voting record analysis is more about who voted for who, but when they voted. It doesn't need to be for more than one candidate for us to have something to analyze.

Or is there some way you can find the other half of your Scum team by having more candidates to vote for?

[Hinckley]

Oh Blah. Never mind. Now I see it.

Sowwy! I guess I am a know-it-all. Wrong know-it-alls are the worst kind.

[Zepher]

Oh, I forgot that all strategies that don't originate from Hinckley are wrong.

[Dragonator]

Well! I'm going to take your advice Zeph and not follow the bandwagon as there isn't really any point in doing that on day 1, especially when we don't need a majority to convict. Better to vote for the person we feel most suspicious of at the current moment.

My vote goes to someone who is being a dick for some reason, when he doesn't usually do that. I recall mentioning to him he needed to change up his scum game, so perhaps that is what he is doing? Vote: Hinckley. The weird reasoning behind nominating Flare as mayor of all people and then setting him up for a day lynch also seems odd to me. Oh look, let's vote for this guy as mayor, but when that doesn't work you should convict him instead! Very convenient.

That's my gut feeling for now, I'm off to try and convince Shadows to disclose his role to me now.

Good timing on this, I was about to summarize a few similar points to the same end.

I agree with everything said above, the Flare nomination was suspicious or stupid and then followed by what almost seems like a meatshielding when it's obvious he won't be elected mayor.

Add in the dick attitude that almost seems designed to mock the host for not appreciating the dick in the last game. Add the times that I've said things that he would normally attack but hasn't, despite being a dick to others, and it's incredibly suspicious, like selective dickery with a hidden purpose.

Oh, and one of the biggest for me: he keeps encouraging us to metagame, which is not the point of this game, it's exactly the opposite. Sure, the day title could be interpreted that way, but in reality it's obviously a commentary on the usual state of EB games, which is the whole point of this game, to comment on what usually happens here and how people usually behave. Since metagaming rarely helps the town, anyone encouraging it must be doing so with the intent of helping the scum. And now I'm doing it to the person doing it and he'll probably accuse me based on doing exactly what he keeps telling us to do and what I say we shouldn't. Paradox. *Tries not to think about it*

Vote: Hinckley

That's my gut feeling for now, I'm off to try and convince Shadows to disclose his role to me now.

Just the person I was wanting to talk to. Step into my parlour ...

[Tamamono]

This whole day has been, as a greying old policewoman once said, a circlejerk of nonsense. I actually really feel like Flare towntold under pressure (his calling his initial post mentally impaired seems to be the general backpedaling scumtell a lot of noobs give off). I know it sounds backwards, but I've found that the strongest "scumtells" are usually noobtells (like with Trumpet in Heartlake). He should still be verified, though.

As for the other candidates, I don't like the Big Cam vote or the Trumpet vote. Big Cam's done literally nothing but poop this game, but I honestly have never known him to towntell too hard. If anything, I'd say he's town based on meta. And Trumpet, while noobish, is just a tough read and not someone I'm comfortable with lynching at this point. Hinck's push on him makes me question his affiliation as well (although scum doesn't know their teammates...).

Darkdragon I'd actually be pretty happy with. She seems to be getting overly flustered, and it seems to me like she and Hinck are somehow involved this game (at least from the mayor vote). Plus, when voted by JimBee, she immediately jumped onto the most popular bandwagon.

However, Draggy and Shadows make a good point; Hinck feels off this game.

My vote goes to someone who is being a dick for some reason, when he doesn't usually do that. I recall mentioning to him he needed to change up his scum game, so perhaps that is what he is doing? Vote: Hinckley. The weird reasoning behind nominating Flare as mayor of all people and then setting him up for a day lynch also seems odd to me. Oh look, let's vote for this guy as mayor, but when that doesn't work you should convict him instead! Very convenient.

It's not just the fact that he's mimicking Scuba, he's acting incredibly forced and more aggressive than usual, which is his scumtell, as I learned from Bloodbrick II.

Vote: Hinckley (Hinckley)

I think this is the right lynch for today (seriously this time )

[Dannylonglegs]

Eh? Has Flare had a sex change?

We have the full first day to discuss and vote. The day won't end if we reach a majority; possibly if we're unanimous, but I can't see that happening any time soon. We can unvote as many times as we wish, if we wish, and votes (for those of us who still have them) are not locked in. I see no reason not to vote. Surely everyone's seen something they aren't completely happy with? Because if they haven't then they're either not paying attention, or deliberately ignoring it. So when people (like darkdragon, for instance) feel uneasy about voting "early" (after a night zero and 24 hours in day one), I fail to understand.

Him! Him! Him! I suck at genders on the web. Ask Cece. She had to deal with it too. Sorry Flare.

Alright, well I've been busy all day, and I think it's about time I vote. Again, sorry Flare. Vote: Flare (Flare)

I'm not convinced 100%, but I don't have any other ideas on who could be scum.

I disagree with the Big Cam vote for now (I wouldn't be able to post a huge deal of info, or at least would be disinclined to, if I was forced to talk about poop all bloody day ) That's not to say he couldn't possibly be scum, I just don't think it's fair to judge him on that today. At least we've learned that there's a Witch. Hink, is Badboy really suffering from a curse, or was that just a joke. That could mean that the Witch can curse 2 individuals--or that there's a Witch and someone with a 1x witch-like action, or something. I wonder if it's a Town or Scum role. It seems Scummy because its effects suck, but it still could very well be a Town role. No doubt we'll see.

I honestly don't understand the Tumpetking vote. What was that about again? He voiced a suspicion in private? I haven't seen anything else particularly scummy about his posts aside from the normal new-ish stuff that he demonstrated in Heartlake--and he seems to be much better this time around (although that could either be him improving or a scum-team helping him. I haven't analyzed it that much yet though.)

JimB's accusation of DD makes some sense, but I still don't agree with most the points made, especially the "busy but checking in" comment. I do that too.

Honestly, Flare's the only one that I don't disagree with. It's odd that the Mayor situation happened so fast, and his comments afterwords were bizarre. I didn't entirely expect that sort of talk from Flare, as his last performance of which I am aware was pretty good (he was Godfather in Jedi Temple Mafia.) was quite similar. It could be that he's only acting so out of touch because he's not grounded by a scum team, or it could be the reverse. I think we stand to gain the most from lynching him as it'll help put the mayor vote into perspective too. All-in-all, I'm not happy with this Lynch, but I have to vote, and I have no better choice. I'll change it if a compelling argument for someone appears.

[Hinckley]

That's my gut feeling for now, I'm off to try and convince Shadows to disclose his role to me now.

Just the person I was wanting to talk to. Step into my parlour ...

At least the two halves of the Scum team are now united.

It's not just the fact that he's mimicking Scuba, he's acting incredibly forced and more aggressive than usual, which is his scumtell, as I learned from Bloodbrick II.

Mimicking Scuba? I haven't been a dick for at least two days and already apologized for it. And I was hardly a dick at all. Suck it up. And I'm always aggressive. Sorry to tell you, this is my Town game. So, your gut still sucks. See? What's dickish about that?

[Shadows]

Sorry to tell you, this is my Town game.

Your town game is to attack me pointlessly in hopes that you'll eventually be right and try to get everyone to turn over their roles behind the scenes while making sure to include at least one scum in your town block so things go down in flames. You might be doing all of that, it would be hard to tell, but whatever it is you're doing, it'll only hurt the town like always. It's what I counted on in the last game and what we can't afford to allow here.

So whether you're playing your towniest of town scum game with a dick twist or your jesus game with a dick twist, we don't need it.

[Scouty]

I've been on set all day long...uhm...on my phone....while I was in the corner....so I'm super tired, so forgive me I if I don't think straight.

Anyway, I just wanted to say, that my suspicion still holds on JimButcher, I'm also interpreting his latest comment about not being sure about flare or whoever the other guy was (trumpetking??) as rather on the fence and somewhat scummy. I'm sorry to keep harking at you, but these are what I'm getting from you. Maybe I'm tunnel visioning , maybe I'm right...

On the case of Flare, he probably would make a decent lynch candidate...not sure if I'd place my non-existent vote on him though. Dark dragon, I agree, has been acting a bit odd, but I haven't keeping up with that argument well enough to get a reading on her. Trumpetking is in the same boat as Flare, but that may just be because he won the card game (but of course of other reasons stated.) on that against Hinckley, he has had a very different game this time around...but I can't tell as to what that means for his alliance.

In the end, my non-existent vote would go to JimB, Flare, Trumpet, DD, then Hinckley, in order of who I suspect the most (taking into account those who have been voted for/discussed about).

[Hinckley]

So, you're voting for someone for metagaming and being a dick while you...do what exactly?

[Shadows]

So, you're voting for someone for metagaming and being a dick while you...do what exactly?

While I point out your specific behaviour in this game and apply your standards to do so. I guarantee that most of us have been looking on at your act with suspicion, even your reactions now are wrong for you and it's painfully obvious, but do carry on, it's kind of amusing.

[Piratedave84]

But you did bring it up? Or was that PirateDave? Gah!

To clarify about my confusion on PirateDave/DarthPotato, Piratedave did bring up Flare as one of several of the quieter ones among us for a mayoral candidate.

How do you confuse Darth and me? It's not like we look alike, our names are not remotely similar and we clearly don;t express similar thoughts!!!!

Anyways, I missed most of the day and have been playing catch-up for the last few hours; I'm freaking mentally exhausted!!!! Looking at the thread, there is (for me) no reason to vote for any one particular person; eneryone is on the defensice, everyone is acting ackward ... Gosh I hate day one!!!!

I would honestly be content with holding my vote but since I don't want to be penalized, I will Vote: Hinckley (Hinckley); purely to balance the vote (6 to 4) I really don't understand his game this time around but yet it does not seem all that scummy to me; bizarre? yes, scummy? meh!

From what I gather another 8 person or so have yet to vote .... make yoursleves heard!!!!

[Hinckley]

I will Vote: Hinckley (Hinckley); purely to balance the vote (6 to 4) I really don't understand his game this time around but yet it does not seem all that scummy to me; bizarre? yes, scummy? meh!

I'm surprised by how many people are claiming to vote to even things out. I don't understand that tactic at all. Not saying it's wrong, it's just incredibly confounding to me. Why not just vote for who you think is the most Scummy? By admission, that's not what you are doing. You place a vote for me but then say I do not seem Scummy to you.

[Scouty]

I agree, voting to even the vote out has always been, in my view, a silly tactic to do. If the vote is evened out, then all it takes is one precarious vote to misdirect the lynch.

[Dragonator]

Agreed, we don't need to even things out here because there is no majority that we need to reach. Vote for who you think is the scummiest.

[JimBee]

I never said that. I said that I don't think we should worry about the photos and spend the day discussing what killer did what kill because coming to the wrong conclusion (easy to do with only one photo for each kill) can be more damaging to us than just waiting one more day.

In my opinion it doesn't hurt to speculate, so long as we're not dead-set on the first conclusion we reach.

How dare you say I didn't give it any second thoughts, that is a mighty big assumption on your part. It wasn't some flippant vote following someone else and I've already explained my reasons for the vote. I also explained, when I voted, that I agreed that it was a good idea to pick someone from the newer players list as our mayor.

A might big assumption that I made because you showed no deliberation in your posts whatsoever, and mayor'd Flare pretty early in the day.

Well, I'm sure your busy version of life and mine are different, but I won't hold that against you. Yes even when I'm busy I try to keep up with reading things (which was even difficult at times yesterday). You know this though, so it makes me wonder why you bring it up here. I was online somewhere else and extremely more quiet than usual there too, which you probably know, so hmm that makes me wonder what you are up to with that particular point.

How would I know that? I usually go inactive when I'm doing other things, but again that point I made is the least important. To me, it just seemed like you were lurking. I can see you just trying to catch up, but it seemed like a very long time of you reading the thread without posting (as in, all day).

I'm not sure why so many people are saying I never explained my mayor vote, I did earlier in the day. Here's the quote for your convenience.

I still don't find that good reasoning for mayoring him though. Especially considering you can't unmayor.

How do you confuse Darth and me? It's not like we look alike, our names are not remotely similar and we clearly don;t express similar thoughts!!!!

Nah, you're names are similar to me. PD/DP, I get them mixed up. And you're both decent new players. But I've got it straight now, I think.

I'm surprised by how many people are claiming to vote to even things out. I don't understand that tactic at all. Not saying it's wrong, it's just incredibly confounding to me. Why not just vote for who you think is the most Scummy? By admission, that's not what you are doing. You place a vote for me but then say I do not seem Scummy to you.

I find this confusing as well. TinyP's mayor vote was somewhat justified (as he explained earlier), but Zepher? I'm not sure I understand the reasoning behind it.

[Hinckley]

I find this confusing as well. TinyP's mayor vote was somewhat justified (as he explained earlier), but Zepher? I'm not sure I understand the reasoning behind it.

Don't look now, but Tammo too.

I meant PirateDave84...

[CorneliusMurdock]

This is interesting. A late run on the votes. Way to voice suspicion early in the day, guys. Isn't that when he was being the most dickish anyway?

At this point I still find Flare more suspicious than Hinck. Despite Tammo's obviously well-thought-out argument that a scum tell must be a town tell, I still think something is off with Flare.

I think the most suspicious thing Hinck has done today was vote for Flare for mayor. And there are a fair number of you guys out there that did the same thing, both because of the "noobs make good mayors" argument and after Flare's weird reaction to the vote.

This business of Darkdragon and Hinck having to be on the same scum team because of the timing of their vote is stupid as well. Surely if they were, they would have been better with the timing. I don't think we'd learn much about the other's affiliation if we lynched one of them.

[Adam]

Oh, and one of the biggest for me: he keeps encouraging us to metagame, which is not the point of this game, it's exactly the opposite.

My vote goes to someone who is being a dick for some reason, when he doesn't usually do that. I recall mentioning to him he needed to change up his scum game, so perhaps that is what he is doing? Vote: Hinckley.

So people are suspecting Hinckley because he metagames, and their reasoning to support a lynch vote for him is based off of... metagaming? What?

Again, I only have a couple of three-year-old mafia games to go off of, but from what I remember, Hinckley has always been a dick (I mean that in the nicest way possible).

This vote feels a bit random. Just a few pages ago people were pouncing on Flare for trying to accuse Hinckley and assuming that he would be accused. Now a sudden lynch starts for him at the day's end, focusing on dickish behavior?

The biggest point against Hinckley is his involvement in Flare's mayor and lynch votes, for which he has supplied several responses. I find it odd that these points would be so quickly leveled against Hinckley at the day's closing, thus possibly bringing about a sudden surprise lynch. Why did you guys wait so long?

[Dragonator]

If you hadn't noticed, I arrived late. Nothing about waiting, just voicing my suspicions from all the reading I was forced to do. You are welcome to have a differing opinion though!

I don't suspect Hinck because he metagames, he always does that. Rather it is the method in which he is doing so, and the way he has acted thus far. It's pinging my scumdar and thus I am voting accordingly.

Day 1 votes are always somewhat random anyway, particularly when there is no required majority. The usual case is a band wagon forms because people are too lazy to voice their own suspicions. Rather than doing that, I would prefer to place my vote where I want it to go, not where anyone else thinks it should go.

When you're the one being accused, it's a little hard to see through it, but I agree with your assessment and that of Cornelius as well. This late in the day, for a bandwagon to form so quickly, especially when I've answered these accusations thoroughly, is odd. It does make me seem that these two, who are typically in cahoots, are up to something.

What's weird about your vote though, is that you've been here since people started voting for Flare and you kind of mentioned being suspicious of me, but you don't place a vote. But then you place a vote for things I did before the last time you posted. If it's so important to voice your suspicions and vote accordingly, why didn't you do it the first time? Especially considering how much of what you reference happened before you last stepped in. It seems like you were trying to sway suspicion away from Flare and when it didn't work in a subtle manner, you went harder when you came back.

And I seem to remember def saying something like: "this would be a game that not only allows metagaming, but encourages it." I looked in the sign-up thread but didn't see it so perhaps it was in the Den or in his application. But the sentiment remained in my mind about the game and today's title only served to further my thinking that he wanted the game played this way. We are all playing ourselves after all. That aside, I've made no solid accusations based on metagaming today. Any suspicion I have voiced was based on in-game behavior. I compared TrumpetKing's post to a past experience Scum post, but that was from a different player. My accusations have been based on activity from this game. Yes, I told Jim he made the exact same post as he did in Ragnarok but did I continue to press accusations against him? Did I join in with Scouty who is also voicing suspicion? No. I've been suspicious of DarkDragon for saying we should focus on finding the psycho killer instead of the Scum and trying to tell the Scum they should help us, to make it sound like she's talking to them and couldn't be one of them, and then she got defensive. TrumpetKing's confusion post seemed feigned. My candidate for mayor, Flare, opened his mouth and Scum-tells fell out. Every serious accusation I've discussed today has not actually been metagaming.

So, just to contradict what I just said and really meta-game the way you say I have been, you and Shadows are notorious for working together. If you are Scum, this is my guess as to what's going on: You and Flare are on the conversion side. Shadows is a Townie you've promised to convert since you claimed to each other on Day One, (like the opening in this game says, not past meta-gaming experience. ). Flare is in trouble so you try to turn the vote on me. Shadows helps by attacking my character, hoping I'll spaz and seem Scummy. That's a risky move for Day One and especially for a smart player like you. But, I can see wanting to save a player if you only have one or two team members and need to find the other half of your team somehow...

Or maybe you're Town and actually think I'm Scummy. Until your abrupt vote and subsequent mini-bandwagon, I didn't suspect either of you at all. What's the weirdest about what you did is how PirateDave and Tammo followed in your footsteps so quickly. PirateDave doesn't even think I'm Scummy! Way to pre-emptively vote to lynch a Townie! I don't think this person is Scummy but I'm voting to even the numbers out. Then, when I turn up Town, "Oh, but I said I didn't think he was Scummy! "

Lots of possibilities. Very interesting Day One. We've got lots to analyze in later days. Are the real Scum sitting back and wondering which one of is safe to contact to connect? Or have they somehow already connected? Sometimes a host sets something up that seems impossible that gets solved very quickly, like a puzzle. I hope the Scum haven't figured out how to contact each other yet. We could be in real trouble if they have. Let's hope the Scum have been trying something today. Given enough time, the lies will be exposed.

Just so everyone can see what I'm referencing (from this game) here are the two posts:

Draggy said this after four people had voted for Flare:

Don't worry guys, I'm awake. Cards really bore me... I'm not particularly lucky.

I have a puzzle piece I can add to the pile.

Yes my piece has a weiner.

As for the voting so far... not sure why Flare is on the chopping block. He was nominated by Hinck, putting him in the spotlight, and now he's our easy day one lynch that nobody will feel guilty about? Put it down to metagaming, but I find it weird that Hinck would want to elect some random he has no reason to trust. I would find it more likely that the scum would want a townie up there, so that they can then try to convert or kill that person later depending on what would be more beneficial. Trying to put one of their own up there would be far too risky in my view, for very little gain.

He is also one of the people who held onto their puzzle piece. Then in the post where he votes, he only references my behavior before the previous post. Why not vote the first time? Was the hint you tried to plant not strong enough? Nobody else took the bait? I admit, I'm guessing, but his behavior is the one seeming odd to me now.

Well! I'm going to take your advice Zeph and not follow the bandwagon as there isn't really any point in doing that on day 1, especially when we don't need a majority to convict. Better to vote for the person we feel most suspicious of at the current moment.

My vote goes to someone who is being a dick for some reason, when he doesn't usually do that. I recall mentioning to him he needed to change up his scum game, so perhaps that is what he is doing? Vote: Hinckley. The weird reasoning behind nominating Flare as mayor of all people and then setting him up for a day lynch also seems odd to me. Oh look, let's vote for this guy as mayor, but when that doesn't work you should convict him instead! Very convenient.

That's my gut feeling for now, I'm off to try and convince Shadows to disclose his role to me now.

Not to mention, why would the Scum need to convict someone just because the nomination for Mayor didn't pan out? I'm glad Flare's not mayor. After he opened his mouth, I would've changed my vote if I could've. I've thoroughly and painstakingly answered every tiny thought in my process. Go back and read it, if you like. However, wouldn't trying to lynch the person I place the first vote for draw more unwanted attention to me? Why would a Scum member do that? Wouldn't it be smarter for the Scum to just focus somewhere else instead?

Oops. I forgot to edit that little question out of the end of the list. It can be ignored now. I think we have everyone.

[Dragonator]

Wouldn't Shadows and I both posting in unison and attacking you draw unwanted attention to us? Apply your own logic.

I was just waiting for the big long defensive post, exactly what I thought you would do when you were accused; attack your accuser. So predictable it hurts. But yes, throw out the first silly theory that comes into your head and make a little fit, that's more like townie you isn't it? What wasn't like townie you was your one line answer to my initial vote against you. Feeling a little flustered and trying to stay calm perhaps? Good effort on the rant just now at least, that was looking a little more like town you, but not really quite up to your usual level. Keep trying!

As for puzzle pieces, mine is not at all helpful in solving it. If you want to find your scum I would think looking at who had the big pieces that made it possible to solve would be more helpful. Or perhaps you've already done that and haven't wanted to tell us because you're teaming up out the back somewhere?

I love rhetorical questions almost as much as you do it seems.

Anyways, for now Hinck is looking the scummiest to me today, so that's where my vote is going. None of the other votes have any more or less weight behind them, everyone is just reading the posts and looking for what they think are "scum-tells". I've spotted a couple from Hinck so that's my why my vote is there.

What wasn't like townie you was your one line answer to my initial vote against you. Feeling a little flustered and trying to stay calm perhaps? Good effort on the rant just now at least, that was looking a little more like town you, but not really quite up to your usual level. Keep trying!

As for puzzle pieces, mine is not at all helpful in solving it. If you want to find your scum I would think looking at who had the big pieces that made it possible to solve would be more helpful. Or perhaps you've already done that and haven't wanted to tell us because you're teaming up out the back somewhere?

I love rhetorical questions almost as much as you do it seems.

Anyways, for now Hinck is looking the scummiest to me today, so that's where my vote is going. None of the other votes have any more or less weight behind them, everyone is just reading the posts and looking for what they think are "scum-tells". I've spotted a couple from Hinck so that's my why my vote is there.

Weird that you see my post as a rant. It seems rather logical and calm to me. Anyway, I posted one line to your first two posts because I think they're silly and I was playing Yahtzee. Then when a couple other people voted and Shadows kept trying to get a reaction out of me, I started to think more. And then Adam and Cornelius analyzed your behavior and well...it's all right there for you to re-read if you want to.

It is good to know that Shadows read my post and went straight to his Potato Messages.
