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.

:shrug:

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.

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:

Cheery entrance. This is meaningless unless a contrary trend can be identified in her opening posts elsewhere...

Also love these smilies :slick:
This was her first game-relevant post in Death & Taxes. Less brief, but perhaps comparable to her second post in this game:

POST. I see you voted. Any reason you chose the one you did?
not really, it's just the first number so why not start at the beginning
since we are going to cycle through all 5 positions anyway
and I like the number 1 :P
In each case she makes a quick Day 0 vote and explains that vote briefly in ways that I don't struggle to believe.
TinyBubbles wrote:Hi all, nice list Golden, and welcome Neverwhere :) this short game sounds like an interesting challenge, being limited to 4 posts a piece probably won't affect me much since I don't post much anyway, but I'd guess it'd be a bit of a stranglehold for the likes of Golden and Movingpictures :p

And I'm a good guy of course. Just once I would love to play the villain though maybe its for the best, as even in fallout 3 I couldn't bring myself to nuke tenpenny tower

Anyway I'm uncertain who to vote for. Slightly tempted to vote Neverwhere cause she was such a convincing baddie in the last game, but probably better to let her post first to get a feel for her likely role.

In her absence and because I dont know if ill be around to vote later, I'm casting my vote now for Hedge owl , for voting for golden. Golden has been a good guy both games I've played, so I'm taking a gamble that he is again. Sorry hedgeowl I know it's not much of a reason.
This was her first post in Omerta. It's a lot more substantive, but I don't think this means much -- players were limited to 4 posts per day in that game and had to jam them full of stuff at every opportunity.
TinyBubbles wrote:Ah i'm excited about this game! Never played a full version mafia game before, and the theme sounds incredibly cool. A number hmmm? Ok... I'll go with 4 because it's a solid number, a good foundation.
First post on Day 0 of Broadway. In that game she liked the number 4, not 1! Why not 4 this time Bubbles?! :suspish:
TinyBubbles wrote:Hi guys i'm replacing Bass, as Epignosis mentioned. give me a little while to read through the thread, and i'll post my thoughts :)

I observe nothing in this content that makes me care about Bubbles' intro post in this game any more than I otherwise would have.

See, this is what I mean. Of course you were kidding. You're right, it was obvious. My point is, why would you make that joke instead of just answering the question honestly? Maybe there's no reason, but maybe there is, and that is what I'm investigating.
cause i get asked the same question every game! i didn't want to declare " i'm CIV" for the 109485734th time so i made a joke about being bad.
This is confirmed truth, I literally just saw her other games and people definitely always ask her this. She also got a lot of crap in Broadway for claiming to be a civilian repeatedly.

~~~

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.

That just proves that one of those two posts is a lie. Do you really trust a liar not to be bad?

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?
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.

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.
I suspect this mindset will be different for everyone, but I do think there could be value in pooling our individual perspectives.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

When testing theories, different ideas are better.
This might warrant pedantic pink, but whatever I'm gonna ask:

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"

And every game you survive deep into is because 1000 veterans, myself included, say "DF always reads blendy - that's not indicative of alignment." You remember the losses, he remembers the times it worked for you. Both are true.

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.

I don't either.
So what made you feel the need to come out so strongly in her defense?
Call it preliminary defense. I have no actual idea whether anyone is going to voice suspicion of bea. I had an intuition and shared it with clear language. There can be no doubt about my take on bea given that post.

Do with it what you will. What do you think Bullzeye? Why did I come out so strongly in her defense?

It probably is strange. What do you think the implications might be of me making a post that could be called strange?

Might be something to it. I don't like to use the whole adverb "thing" (since we can't agree on the difference between "theory" and "concept") as my basis for a case on someone. But it could very well influence it.
This feels like you want to agree but you want wiggle room out of it. I'm curious as to why this is the day 0 thing you chose to comment on.
I'm saying the whole idea of making a case on someone because of "adverb usage" is more based on context, rather than whether or not someone uses adverbs.
Could you provide an example (even if you just make one up) of an instance in which you'd find an adverb or someone's tendency to use them suspicious?

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.
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.

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 :p
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.

For the moment my vote is on you in spirit. But do not despair; this is your opportunity to change my mind. :phew:

Linkis. Going to finish catching up first, so I'll respond as I read along.
Could you describe what you mean exactly by the bit I have highlighted?

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.
A few questions spring from this post, Bass:

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)?

I don't follow. Why would previous leaders be more likely to be leaders in this game?

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.
