I claim neutral good moderator stealer

I claim Psychopathic Moderator

Aditionally:

• If you know no one, try to see how each one plays. Specifically, who is weak and who is being strong/leading.
• If nothing is happening make something happen. Go ISO someone, think on the current votecount, pessure some lurker or devil’s advocate an opinion.
• Don’t ignore anyone. Don’t let yourself be ignored.
• You are the only person you know for sure to be townie at most games. You are the only proven townie for yourself.
• Make a sheet for reads, it helps PoE wonders.

Innocent child steps in

Mafia Innocent Child

[anon97870008]

I guess it depends heavily if you come from ToL and have never played FM before, or if you come from other sites. I don’t really think it is required to learn the terminology if you’re playing FoL here, at least from my experience.

No bastard

@Shurian

Salt inducing never works. It backfires. Never try to make the other person salty. Nothing comes out of it. (Besides raging and a /replace out )

@Boss110

don’t forget to alway check you journal and be sure to update it!

@Shurian

Creating Chaos… can cause some discrepancies. Who knows what deductions you would be able to make from the subtle actions of the players?

@Livicus

WIFOM is always a thing

@Icibalus

Sheeping is a weapon in your arsenal that should be used when needed. Don’t feel like you always have to be a town leader or not follow the consensus.

@Shurian

Try not to be confused. Ask for clarification for their actions or words (when you think appropriate, because there are some jerks who try to reaction test bait you). For those trustworthy ones like me, just ask straight away! :3

@Marluxion

If you think Margaret is acting scummy, they’re probably BD / Town.

@Margaret

23. If Celeste claims innocent child, shes either a vig thats about to shoot a town or actually an innocent child

@MaximusPrime

Margaret used to be Celeste_Ludenberg for all you new people out there

@Insanity

Always do your night action.

@NuclearBurrito

If someone asks for town protective and that’s you, don’t give it to them.

@Sketch

Reaction test. Often.

@Icibalus

it is compulsory to say lolreactiontests every time someone reveals they were doing one

@Twil1ight

Never fully trust so called “Townblocs”. Regardless if you’re in or outside always question any uncertainty as Town.

@Sketch

Consider claiming Alchemist as Physician and Physician as Alchemist interchangeably depending on the situation.

@Marcus_Doodalee

Liking a lot of one person’s posts during a FM is a good way to pocket them

@Marluxion

Rule 0: Ignore all of the following rules and yell “despacito” at anyone who accuses you of being scum

@Vulgard

Don’t go for easy lynches unless they’re the only choice.

@Hippolytus

No, NEVER purposefully sabotage your town game just so when you roll scum you may fair better. Thats what seperates a thrower from a normal player lol.

@Insanity

74: Do not ever attempt to fast hammering as it reduce your time for discussion.

@Insanity

75: If someone flames you, don’t get disheartened! Stay strong, be your ownself.

@Icibalus

When you have a ‘red check’ on you as a wolf you have a number of choices. You lolcat and attempt to disrupt discussion, you fakeclaim something which would make you have a false positive to the check or you claim something so utterly outlandish it might be true and then attempt to go all in on a mislych

@Twil1ight

Never Policy Lynch anyone for little reasons. Maybe for you it doesn’t seem harmful but it is ruining player’s experience and it may discourage them to join next games.

@Mercenary

Heal town because you think they are town, not someone random because it is random

@james

I think, what you really need as completely FoL Newbie, is:

1. Bring a lot of time, prepare yourself to read a lot. Make yourself notes, write down every claim and softclaim you are able to spot. Reading is king.
2. If you don’t understand something, ask. If it’s something mechanical, ask your host.
3. Talk, don’t be shy. Give the others the chance to read you as BD.
4. Try to not go off-topic or meme too much, this will only make the thread less readable, and that’s bad for BD. Don’t make the life of your fellows harder.
5. Make your own decisions, try to make your own reads. Sometimes it’s better to listen to the majority, but remember, it’s your game, do what you think it’s right.
6. If you realize you’re emotions are going out of control and you are raging, step back from the PC for a while. It’s not fun for anyone, when you insult others.

[MathBlade]

You say this in jest but if everyone townreads you as scum it’s a good path to victory.

[Emilia]

@anon97870008

Make yourself notes, write down every claim and softclaim you are able to spot

Who does that

[MathBlade]

I have a very particular taste in moderators

[MathBlade]

If not lazy me. If lazy I go off memory.

[anon97870008]

That’s even standard in ToL . . .

[Emilia]

Because It’s much more fast phased

[Emilia]

Don’t tell me you’re writing essay

[anon97870008]

I disagree with one thing: If people are flaming you, it’s totally acceptable to step back for a while, noone can expect from you that you are deliberately read and answer to that shit.

[MathBlade]

It depends on the flaming/issues.

For example when Geyde was doing some things I wasn’t particularly fond of in a recent game me stepping back wasn’t an option for two reasons:

1. No other scum was posting at that time. A game with no scum posting isn’t fair for town.

2. Me responding with a replace out would have made that fight alignment indicative/noticed

Backing away may not always be an option however not feeding the fire is.
