Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 0)
Assuming the idea here is that the positions will rotate throughout the game, I think the earliest stage (right now) would seem the ideal time to choose the position which features the most potentially frustrating roles that don't involve murdering someone. That would include things like lynch switches and day restarts -- both position 5. I'd rather have annoying things like those in play when the game is young than when we're dealing in a more evidence-based thread and vote choices are more meticulous. I'm still poking around though.

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 0)
The position that seems the least troublesome to me at the moment is #4, despite having a couple kills. I think that one can be saved for later while something annoying can be favored now, like #5. Leaning that direction.

Mafia hunting like a maniac will be a tough task given the current faction ratios. I might have to delay my behavior by a day. I've never played in anything like this (except maybe Game of Thrones Mafia on RYM, but that's only barely similar), so I'm not sure what strategies I might employ yet.

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 0)
I suppose if I want to be recruited, I am going to have to show the leaders what skills I have to offer for their team. Some include:
I can juggle.
I am known for playing table tennis well enough to frustrate my nemeses.
I am a professional at making fun of the music of Creed

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
Oh look, an actual Thing to talk about!
I observe nothing in this content that makes me care about Bubbles' intro post in this game any more than I otherwise would have.
~~~
In conclusion, I don't see any good reason to lynch Bubbles on Day 1 -- certainly not her content in response to llama.
"JJJ, did you seriously just compile that post about that?"
Yeah sorry I dunno what to do with myself.
llamastache has endorsed a lynch of TinyBubbles for her response to his "are you bad?" question (she said she was bad facetiously). How seriously should this be taken? Well let's look at Bubbles' stuff and decide for ourselves:thellama73 wrote:Here is the relevant post.
Cheery entrance. This is meaningless unless a contrary trend can be identified in her opening posts elsewhere...TinyBubbles wrote:POST. hi everyone
Spoiler: show

I know because experience.TinyBubbles wrote:oh come on, i was only kidding about being bad, i thought it was obvious. if thats a reason to lynch me then this game makes no sense at all!
This is confirmed truth, I literally just saw her other games and people definitely always ask her this.

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
I suspect this mindset will be different for everyone, but I do think there could be value in pooling our individual perspectives.Golden wrote:That a good choice for a first lynch might be someone who has a reputation for surviving deep and not getting caught when bad, since a baddie might try to recruit someone that gave them the best shot at winning. Someone like DF or DP, for example, who frequently fly under the radar. Or someone like Typhoony or llama who can often survive deep on their wily skills by not being too civvish to NK nor too baddie-looking to get lynched.S~V~S wrote:I tend to judge people as individuals not as reputations. My best game of all time was Rabbits SOT, I was a ... civvie. We had a large civ BTS group, and we worked pretty well together. That team has been my gold standard of what a team should be. Not so much for the individuals (although they all were awesome and people in the Mafia community that I <3 maybe a bit more than most) but for the way we worked together. I would want cohesion more than anything, really. Team players, no Prima Donnas.
What was your theory?
But if I look at my own psyche, I'd probably just pick people who I felt I could have fun with too. Or that I really wanted to have btsc with because I hadn't yet, or something.
Hey everyone! Please tell us here in this very thread how you think you would go about choosing recruits in this setup if you were recruiters. What factors would be most important in your decision? Least important? If enough of you help me out with some delicious answers, I might even compile a CHART. Who wants a chart? We love charts, don't we? Seriously, this might be a good way to get a grip of early choices -- and perhaps even influence how future recruitment choices are made. We could in part dictate how the baddies recruit. I think this is appealing.
My answers, most important numbered and least important lettered:
1.) My perception of their skillset -- I would favor someone that I feel has a diverse array of mafia skills that can function cross-alignment and long-term.
2.) Complementary talent within The Syndicate -- I am newer here than most and do not boast a lot of experience in setups as complex as this. Someone who can fill that void would be a big help.
3.) Less inherently likely to attract thread attention -- I wouldn't select myself, essentially. Loud players are a dangerous choice.
///
A.) Fun -- I'd probably be a party pooper in this regard. While I do love fun, I'd also think choosing based on fun would be more transparent to others and less likely to progress me towards a victory.
B.) Reputation on The Syndicate -- I only have a cursory knowledge of this anyway, but I probably wouldn't care much whether someone is perceived by others to be elite or something else.

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 0)
This is plausible enough to at least lend me some confidence that you're not being manipulative with your treatment of Bubbles. In my last game I actually experienced this personally -- I was on a three-person mafia team but the other two were AFK for all of Day 1. I felt on my own and it led to some goofs on my part.thellama73 wrote:It's possible, if they are nervous or not paying close attention themselves. Like I said to MP, I expect more unforced errors early this game due to a lack of team support. My case against TinyBubbles has more to do with her unconscious anxiety rather than her deliberate intentions.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: Do you suppose liars who are bad prefer to do their lying in such a way that it begs for anyone paying attention to see an obvious discrepancy and hurl an accusation?
I don't really read Bubbles' content to this point that way, but at this point I'll just let her deal with you herself and assess further.

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
I'm a fan of Russ's early contributions. His longer multi-quote posts aren't good merely for being long, they're good for conveying a mindset and progression of thought that I have no difficulty following. I can insert myself into his brain and see the posts he is discussing through his eyes -- which would be suggestive that we both are reading posts with the same end goals.

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
This might warrant pedantic pink, but whatever I'm gonna ask:Golden wrote:I did not know SVS had previously been a recruiter but that played no factor in why I asked her. I asked her because 1) she was around when I was thinking about it and 2) there is noone else in mafia whose perspective I find to be completely different to my own more often. When testing theories, different ideas are better.
There seems to be a semantic discrepancy in the first sentence of this post. You seem to suggest that SVS's prior experience was not a factor in your motivations during that discussion despite the fact that you didn't know she had prior experience. This would seem to be a paradox or something. These notions should be causally linked, not separated by an anti-cause. That might be French, here's a translation:
Shouldn't it be more like this:
"SVS's prior recruiter experience was not a factor for me because I didn't even know about it"

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
unfurl, I am deeply troubled. This post... it endorses nothing! You're not down with trying to figure out who could be recruited. You're not down with offering a perspective on the Golden-Epignosis interaction despite bringing it up. I need to know why this post exists, please inform me. I beg you.unfurl wrote:Trying to figure out who "could" be recruited so early is a witch hunt imho
Is just guessing, but part of this game is just that at the end
Based in just guessing, I dont have suspects for leaders or recruiters. at this point, is finding a needle in a haystack unless you are a mind reader, then good for you, but discussion is good so there
Golden-Epig back in forth, intersting (haha I noticed Epig hates the word intersting!!!! :P)
Both of them talk and argue a lot, thats pretty much my conclusion
...
something as a general request
Please, use the green off topic color, for the people who dont have a lot time, to be reading/posting a lot, it helps to skim those parts

Drastic jump. Got em.

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 0)
Intuition is weird, man! It just happens, you know. You observe something and then the brain conceives it in some distinct way, surely based on some kind of actual cognition, but it's subconscious! I don't even know why I liked that bea post as much as I did. I'll mull over it and get back to you; maybe you'll agree. If I forget please remind me.Bullzeye wrote:I just don't see how your intuition came about from such an unremarkable exchange. It's not that it tells me anything about you so much as I just can't figure out why you said it or what inspired such confidence.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:It probably is strange.

It just seemed such a strange thing to suddenly come out with from nowhere.

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
Hey I can dig it. I kind of do my own thing too, I suppose. We all have our unique styles and we play to them as our whims direct. But I must state: the post I referenced before truly did trouble me. It bore the appearance of something literally torn from the Baddie Code of Conduct -- commentary relevant to the game that does not go anywhere or progress any thought process.unfurl wrote:It exist because I wrotte what if first came to mind and that was it
this is the first time we play together, so just you know I march to the beat of my own drum
Maybe you should read my previous response to bullz, to get to know a little bit of how I roll, and I will roll a lot different in this game, from previous games too
For the moment my vote is on you in spirit. But do not despair; this is your opportunity to change my mind.

Could you describe what you mean exactly by the bit I have highlighted?birdwithteeth11 wrote:Llama's behavior strikes me as llama-y so far. But the way he's debated voting for TinyBubbles makes me feel you could turn his own questions on him. Because the way he's asking her leaves him open to allowing others to think he could be a recruiter.
Linkis. Going to finish catching up first, so I'll respond as I read along.

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
A few questions spring from this post, Bass:Bass_the_Clever wrote:Ok so I have a crazy theory. I think MP or llama could be recruiters. I think they have made good points about low posters not getting recruited and then are left unaffiliated and therefor there is no reason to lynch the low posters. It also makes sense that the recruiters would want to take heat away from the more vocal players because they want to recruit those players. I also dont think BR or LC would give an important role like a recruiter to a super low posters or someone who flakes during games. This might sound crazy but I think its possible.
1.) Do you think BR and LC would be willing to forego the true randomness of role selection that is generally necessary for the game of Mafia to even make sense?
2.) How is your theory affected by the fact that MP did not actually state low posters wouldn't get recruited and instead that they might be more likely candidates (as well as being potential recruiters)?

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
I don't follow. Why would previous leaders be more likely to be leaders in this game?Scotty wrote:What is the purpose of sign-ups with people that a) Have been leaders before and b) have not been followers? I feel like they would purposely give people that have been leaders before the reigns. I think Bass may be on to something.

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
While I do think there's value in discussing potential recruiting strategies, that discussion is probably not going to be the eventual motive for my vote on Day 1. I still intend to push for the lynch of a player who I view as suspicious. Recruitment theories are way too speculative to serve as the basis for a lynch choice in my opinion. The insight there might help people to find people to focus on though in such a large roster of players.
