Early on D1, he soft claimed what I thought was Brutal Cop. If that was really his claim, I can see why he'd think that makes him look super towny.

But now he seems to be implying he is just a mason? Or a mason jailer/killer? God knows. In any case, I see no reason why that would make him towny, and his current shifting claim does not seem to be at all consistent with his soft claim earlier.

well it's not a mason at least. No clue here on my end.

....actually wait. The Turks team, of course they'd suspect that even if it wasn't spelled out for them. They'd expect Shinra to be the main bad guys.

This got me thinking.

Why would they think that?

Shinra in game employ the Turks, they'd have no reason to even begin to believe that they had different alignments to one another.

But more importantly, it got me thinking about a secondary point.

We know there are at least two scum teams.

Assuming that the scum teams aren't full scum teams but are undersized to compensate for the presence of multiple factions, the scum teams knew that there were multiple factions on D1.

Let's play the Nat20 imagination game.

Imagine I'm a player on an undermanned scum team called Shinra or the Turks. Who do I assume is the other scum team?

If I'm the Turks, maybe, maybe, I think it's Shinra. But if it's Shinra, no way on earth do I think it's the Turks.

I think it's Sephiroth.

I think we're making a huge mistake if we assume that there are only two scum teams. I think there are three and the third is something like Jenova/Sephiroth.

Yeah it would be hella weird if there wasn't anything related to them. But as Gaspy just mentioned, it could be technically a 3P or something. Or maybe an SK team like me and KB had in FF6? :dance:

I mean, if there were three scum teams, wouldn't the numbers have to be super low? Like, so low that we might have ended one of them already? 25 people - So single scum team would be like, 6-7? So if there were three, 2 per? I dunno. I'm leaning towards 2 teams making more sense. Maybe throw in a 3p or two?

This is what I was going for. Jenova/Sephiroth is my most obvious choice, although I think Jenova/Sephiroth/Hojo is a strong possibility.

So I'm going to metagame.

25 person game. Assume 3 scum teams. We know already that one team has at least 3 people. Let's then look back at FFVI and the 2 man SK team. So a guess would be 2 teams of 3 people, 1 team of 2 people that's stronger for being more undermanned.

Even if every team ruthlessly and perfectly targets town every single day with their individual NKs and town fails to lynch anything but town, town is only annihilated by the end of day 5. (17 town, 4 die each day, the final town member dies on day 5).

Consider the reverse, scum always kill the other teams and town always lynch scum. With absolutely perfectly even killing (to maintain the NK for all factions) town win by the end of N2. (8 scum, 4 die each day). If a single person has BP it's the end of D3.

Both those scenarios are within the stress test for a mafia game.

Dude. For you to even try to sell this as rolefishing is redonkulous. Nice attempt to divert attention/throw some shade. You were the one that told us we would think you were super towny if we looked back at your posts. Did you mean something other than your brutal cop soft claim?

Okay cool so let me throw out some ideas before scum realizes I'm 100% #1 town superstar and offs me

So pod is cleared from being shinra but my guess is between him and bif there is a turk a lurkin

My guess is probably pod since both him and gulag wanted to off me as a lurker lynch prior to my grand appearance yesterday.

Tobbs and king b are my suspects for another shinra and I'm leaning towards king b being scum (partially because I wanna believe both me and my man are on the level this game)

I'm a great suspect for shinra despite pushing tithin, dropping my vote on NGO, and making sure DB was far enough ahead of NGO to be the clear leader.

I mean, I could be the other one. It's more likely that GD was hard-bussing me than me being aligned with tithin and DB.

Technically neither scum team would know the other existed before N1, so we can still look for fake casing. Might be obfuscated a bit since there were actual fake opinions for the other team to look for, but it's still useful.

I actually kind of like this post, makes me feel better about TQ. If we have multiple scumteams, from a numbers perspective it's gonna be blatantly obvious to members of each group that there has to be more than just them out there. I don't think scum with that knowledge staring them in the face thus far comes into D2 making this post.

Because you are playing the game and I never have. Didn't realize you hadn't encountered the character.

Anyway, once I checked the wiki and realized the giant thing she was holding was a shuriken, it made sense to me that my flavor was probably the stabbing.

I can't speak to how Pig assigns abilities/roles.
