anyways my initial reaction is infi is dumb (may or may not be scum) and anidav is pinging me but this based off of skimming and not reading some posts so this could be wildly off base (likely tbh). i still gotta drive an hour back home but when i get back watch out for some hard hitting reads!!!!!!!!!!!! or shitposts idk

Tell you what, Inf. Here is a list of 4 possible targets I think would be cool to rolecop:

Cat
RF
Prince of Space
Drunk Nerds

Cat and RF obviously have not shown up yet to claim anything at all about their battle preferences. Prince and Nerds have already willingly claimed more than most about the flavor of their abilities, or hinting at background.

Pick one, and then for the love of Kakyoin keep your mouth shut about who you picked and their power levels or whatever, and just focus on whether you can find a contradiction to report tomorrow.

I would not rely on this at all. Our characters living near the Mexican border may very well be well-versed in Spanish, or we could have some Hispanic members of our army who are fully loyal. lol hey pera/Pod, my phone wanted to autocorrect that to Loyalist

Also, I'm sure Pod would not want our thread to get such easy flavor-solve opportunities. Not when a Mexican rolecop in a game of English speakers could not assume as easily that an English ability name points to a Texan.

Inf

Inf is playing in the exact way I would expect Inf to play town, especially if he's got abilities he thinks he can use well. I'm noting this from the way he acted in DBZ Mafia and Megaman Mafia when he was town with a weird ability set. I don't think there's anything here that makes me think he's suspicious beyond just being himself. Further, a much fuller and more informative investigation can happen tomorrow since he's already claimed rolecop.

I feel like Inf is frequently a high variance player, he either hilariously ruins scum or completely misfires and blows up his own side and I feel like I'm okay with gambling.

Venom Soag

And with all that being said:


I absolutely loathe everything about this post and the case on Inf that stems from it. Not only is it just wrong in its assessment of Inf, it's just a horrible thing to have in a game to begin with.

Let me be clear, I do not give a poo poo about winning or losing relative the enjoyment I get from playing a game of mafia and being friends with the people here.

This and the related posts run counter to basically everything I believe about how mafia should be played. I wish being an rear end in a top hat was indicative of being scum, but unfortunately it's not.

That said, voting someone because they're "Bad at Mafia" when the opposite is true is so moronic that I can't just let that go.

I'm mad because of a thorn in my impenetrable hide
Anidav: I don't have too much of a read on him right now but their "confusion" over the rules/strategy reminds me too much of Quid for me to like.

b-minus1: Has posted far less than I thought they would considering previous performances. I'd mostly give them a pass due to New Year's, but their last post was one of those "oh wow look how many posts I have to read" posts with zero followup. That feels a bit scummy.

busb: Their reads seem genuine, I'm fine with thinking of them as town for now

curiousCat: They haven't posted once, but gave reasons before roles were assigned as to why that might happen. Null tell.

Drunk Nerds: Hmm. They seem to be contributing, but I'm not getting a concrete idea of their opinions yet. I'm wavering between "town-ish" and "slightly suspicious"

flerp: I feel they should case more, but they've stated themselves that they're holding off 'til Day 2. Make of that what you will.

iajanus: Not enough posts, null tell

Infinitum: Oh my god that loving copclaim. Still, going over their other posts, They're giving opinions and making, well, 1 case, which is more than a lot of people. Leaning town for now.

Jeabus Mahogany: Brilliant posting, brilliant reads, just all around a star player. 10/10 Super Town

Little Mac: Okay so he starts off defending Prince of Space but then his next two posts are attacking Prince of Space with little reason for the turnaround. THAT'S WEIRD

Mithross: Mostly null tell but again their last post is a "look how many posts I have to read" post and even claims it as the reason they might miss deadline. I don't like it

Natural 20: I wasn't feeling great about them until they started actually making cases. I like them a lot better now.

peramene: I'm not seeing anything that makes me think scum

Prince of Space: Their flavourposting makes it hard for me to figure them out. Immediately thinking of Xad as town is definitely bad, but I don't know whether that's dumb or scum. I would like them to start giving real reads.

Retro Futurist: No posting, no excuses. In a regular game I'd be tempted to let them get podruled out but in a soldiers game there's a greater need for communication

SirSamVimes: Very content-light. A lot of questions early-game, with the rest mainly being light commentary on the current major discussion. The fact that they're willing to put a vote down on Soag sticks out to me, but I'm not sure why. Bears further observation.

SLASHER HAWKE: There's a lot of interaction and opinions here. I think Town

STONE COLD 64: He's only made three posts. His case on Inf is both questionable and prophetic. It's the kind of argument that you can only really make Day 1 when there's no actual posting to go on, and I still don't like it. Null read for now with a request for him to post more.

The Ninth Layer: I'm going back and forth on this. There are times where I feel he's got valid points and times where I feel he's just trying to shout down the opposition. I'm conflicted, will probably need to go over it with a finer-toothed comb separately.

Tired Moritz: Mainly pushing for a lurker vote, but giving other opinions as well, mainly about Xad. Leaning town

tithin: I'm getting good vibes from their posting, little as it is

tpink: It's barely anything, except for

tpink posted:

Yah sorry I’m dumb.

look at what he's responding to, look at what he'd posted before

is this a scumslip? This feels like a scumslip

Venom Soag: I think he's pissed town, perhaps in both senses of the word

Xad: There's not much substance here. What there is feels at best "okay". Slightly suspicious.

It's still not very clear, but I'll tentatively accept this explanation. I'd still like to hear from the man himself. Either way, they've still barely posted anything and I'd be alright with eliminating them right now.

i think this is infi scum. over the top but not really aggressive. his role is probably has some aspects of it that are true, but is exaggerated. his rolecop ability can be scum aligned. his unstoppable ability can be scum aligned. his dayvig can be scum aligned. idk why infi would ever claim as much as he has d1 esp with the role he supposedly has. i think its infi just trying to run a gambit on us and im not falling for it.

I sort of believe infi’s rolecop claim, but I’m not sure why he felt the need to claim d1. I’ve never played a battle mafia game before, so I’m not sure how common it is to have non-battle abilities in this game.
