EoFF XXVII Discussion Thread - Strengthen Those Social Links

[Fynn]

I'm just saying it's very easy to be led astray by that line of thinking and doom innocent townies, hurting your cause. It's also a strategy that ca be easily abused by mafia.

There really is no right or wrong way of going about it, but you can be convincing without seeming like an idiot who can't see beyond his own point.

[Psychotic]

I guess it depends on if you are right or not as to whether you can get away with it

[Formalhaut]

Probably the main thing is to be confident when you think you're right, but humble when you realise you're wrong or in error. Nothing seems more suspicious (or just annoying) than someone who doggedly refuses to back down from their point.

No matter how confident you are in your theory, mistakes will happen (as it self-evident with Theodore's lynch). I personally like it when people can fess up without throwing a tantrum, but then I also like it when everyone gets along great, which simply isn't always possible in Mafia!

Oh, small update and even a bit of advice about searching:

As I have time between Day phases, and as the pile of posts begin to grow larger and larger, I've decided to include Day links in the Opening Post. Basically, click on 'Day One' and you're taken to the start of Day One. Click on 'Day Two' to get to Day Two. it just helps you guys out when you're finding posts but aren't sure whether Day Two started from page 4 or Page 6.

Another thing as well: be sure to use the search function! It can be found on the top of each thread under 'search thread' (obviously). You can use an advanced search to allow searching for just one member. By paring down the results to posts just in this sub-forum, you can see all the posts made during the game, which can be useful if you're trying to locate a post by [x] by can't find it, or you're trying to character assassinate someone but needs some juicy details to block quote and rip to shreds. Whatever you're looking for.

Seriously though, the search function is useful for all you guys. Knowledge is half the battle!

Don't you tell me how to fight my battles!

To me it's more like I can tell that kind of reasoning wouldn't convince me in a game since it's flaws are way too glaring for me. So it's really not a sure fire way to convert people to your line of thinking. for me, it's just a knee-jerk reaction

[Freya]

Well you have being confident and then you have being confidant over flimsy reasoning. If you're confident over flimsy things then you just look bad every which way.

[FFNut]

This game messes with your head big time. You get a theory in your head, and then you get tunnel vision and overlook suspicious behaviour. Then one person will see the same thing as you and you end up all in right or wrong.

[FFNut]

Ok, I a, ready for day three! Getting excited.

[Formalhaut]

Just to say I've now received all night actions. When I next get to a computer, I'll just update my spreadsheet and announce the results!

[Slothy]

Took you long enough Formy! ;p

[Formalhaut]

Yeah, sorry, I was at the pub. Having a life. Now that makes me wonder what drink Igor would have. Hmm.

Anyway: my initial reaction at the results of the night was to postulate whether or not Strega is allergic to ice cream, seeing how they're killing all the vanillas.

[Formalhaut]

Anyway, Day Three now is at Mislynch-and-Lose. This'll make the phase much more tense. I know it is a little to announce a game state but some moderators do state when a game has entered into a new state, and I feel like my style of moderating is of the more 'hands on' variety.

Besides, anyone who isn't Ken can do math and work it out, so.

But yeah, Town needs to lynch or they really risk being killed in the Night. If somehow the Doctor is lynched during Day Three, they will have no way of preventing a loss. Something to think about.

[Slothy]

Don't you dare smurfing jinx it Formy.

[Formalhaut]

I'm just giving everyone basic information. It's up to you guys to not make it happen.

I will admit I am secretly rooting for Town to survive a little longer. This game has been so exciting, I don't want it to end just yet!
