Re: Zombie invasion Mafia game.
Another explainy post... who is your suspect list and who do you want to see lynched today?
I guess it is about time I sorted out my reads, by now there is enough material on almost everyone.
Noodle has been quiet, but that is not out of the ordinary for him. I voted him on day one for talking about Ankeli's claim and little else, but he has given some stances since. Null read, since I can't see anything particularly suspicious or townish about his actions.
Gorny is unreadable as usual. I thought the soldier soft claim was suspicious, and of course I did not get the WoW reference. I have seen him more active as town though, taking more of an interest in what is happening, so I'd put him on the scummy side of null.
Leo is being relatively active, and posts some OT as we've come to expect... nothing too suspicious about her behavior. I'm liable to believe her town.
Bad Ash claimed to be the citizen scavenger, and no one disputed him. That is as good as confirmed town.
Sathoris is also practically confirmed, since Bad Ash confirmed he knew how much food scavengers could find. I remember someone saying that the scum might have learned this information by killing a scavenger, but I can't remember any game where the scum would've received that much information from a kill. His behavior also matches what I'd expect from him as town.
I'm unsure what to think of Zhao_Yue. I've seen him before as pretty much a town leader, but he never tried to take such a role in this game. Calling him reserved is not exactly right either, he has commented on the state of the game and different players, it just appears as if he did not know where to focus. I don't know what to make of it.
Laarz has almost disappeared. I had to search for his posts to see if he had posted today at all, and he apparently only has a single post where he agreed with a 24 hour extension of the day. At this rate he will be modkill fodder though.
Krazeyivan has been pretty much all over the place with wanting to be scouted. And that of course is not something the scum would want, if the town roster revealed him as scum. But then again... if a scout can bring in several people at once, the scout skill cannot be focused on a player, however scum should not have known that at the beginning of the game. He has also not cared about the suspicion he has gotten for wanting to be scouted, so I'm inclined to believe him town.
nurman is another who, like Laarz, is almost completely absent. Except for one thing... he has been repeating a certain question several times, and I feel there must be some reason behind it. He is not one I would lynch without a claim from him.
I'd say that I_Told_You was scummy based on pure gut feeling and process of elimination, but there is nothing about him I could really put my finger on for being suspicious. Not a strong read.
Noammr is another I have nothing solid on, I just get a better feeling from his posts, kind of relaxed and townish.
Zarniwoop appears to be very much out of touch with the game. I've seen him ask questions about things that have been mentioned in the thread, such as where Sathoris claimed. He tried voting Sathoris too, and I have no idea what for. Looking at what he has been doing, he'd be one of my top picks for mafia.
Kijya I have no read on. There is practically nothing to base a read on. Also, after a single post today, this is another player in danger of modkill.
To make a simple list, from most town to most scummy:
TOWN
Bad Ash
Sathoris
Krazeyivan
Leopold Stotch
Noammr
nurman
Noodle
Kijya
Zhao_Yue
Gorny
I_Told_You
Laarz
Zarniwoop
SCUM
If you check the town stats, the town defense has been static at 10 throughout the game so no townies chose to defend the town, even the soldiers.
The town defense has a base of 10, but what the soldiers add is elsewhere in the formula. According to the reports, Valhauros did defend the town on the second night, and Technomancer did last night as well (which was quite useless, since there was no chance of success).
If the scout can only recruit 1 person per night, how did 3 people get recruited in 1 night on a previous night?
Was it not said by someone that soldiers had the option of helping a scout or scavenger instead of guarding the town? So the scout brought back more people when helped, just like a scavenger can bring back more food?
what about you? do you recall any?
