1. Do you want to be in battle tonight?
B - Yes

2. Okay, that's your N1 choice, but is that like, your overall position, or just a tactical choice for right now?
A - Please continue to keep me (on/off) the battlefield at all times if possible (unless I'm just about to die and need to heal up, obviously)

3. Regardless of what you answered above, assuming you end up in battle eventually.... front row or back row?
B. Back

4. Do you have a very clear preference between Physical and Occult abilities? DON'T give away which one yet, just wondering... do you actually have to care about what kind of buffs you get?[/u
B. Nah, its all good

[u]5a. If you had a dayvig right now, who would you shoot and why
5b. besides me

I think I'm super into voting newbies nowadays. Victory is the only thing that matters. If they're scum, they die.

Also agree with this. I�ll let a noobie survive until d2, but if I think they�re scum then I want to kill them.

Btw Infinitum is dead wrong about townies concerning themselves with the other thread.

Every town player should at least be skimming the other thread to get a good idea of who their helpful players are aka who it's safe and good to shoot.

I�ll probably wait until later in th game before reading the other thread. We are only casing based off d1 gut reads, which usually end up being incredibly wrong. Seems like a waste of time to keep up with their thread this early imho

Sorry that I haven�t been active.

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.

Yeah that post caught my eye too. I was getting ready to mention that pera has disappeared, then I saw she made that post.

Lol what exactly did you find scummy?

For the record bif asked for all of my name, role, abilities etc and I provided them without hesitation. You know, because I�m town.

Uh, no. I�ve been following the thread all day. Anyone who knows me should know that I don�t contribute much on d1. Ive been providing reads for most of d1. And I was wondering why bif stopped responding to some of my posts in the mason chat.

flerp posted:

your lack of posting concerned me because ur usually more active (holidays, obv, play a part in this but it still struck me as a bit odd). it was also a bit of a meta feel because i felt like you werent posting as ur usual self.

most of bminus's posts r mostly nothing, excuses, or thin cases. but the big thing is that there ARE posts in a way that makes me feel like theyre just posts to be like "yeah im here!" so to both avoid getting lurker killed and to make it seem like youre active so as to avoid getting put in the lurker pool.

like i said, it wasnt anything i could actually work w/ because there is nothing there. you were in the back of my mind, but i was more interested in more scummy people like infi because they had posts we could read.

I�ll post here what I just posted in my mason chat, since it applies to more than just bif

It is day 1. Do you realize that we will almost be incredibly wrong in our reads? I don�t enjoy spending an insane amount of time making cases on d1 content. You�ve played games with me before and, you should know that I come on strong once there�s actual content to discuss (deaths,night actions, etc)
Ive provided reads, admittedly not at the detailed level of some people, but I�ve been around for all of d1

The very first thing I posted in our chat was an explanation of the masonry, and to not be alarmed by the big member list cause it was all 3 mods in there. I explained it was private so he could fullclaim. I reminded him no numbers were allowed, but he should paraphrase what all he has to work with.

After a long pause with still no B- around, I said he would need class, backround, and rank info AS WELL, and he should post his claims immediately even if I was asleep when he showed up.

When he finally did, he posted just the background, class and rank. I could see that as a possible misunderstanding, that I was asking for ONLY those, but...

after that, I asked for his abilities, and which ones he could do in which phase and which ones required Shine. He never did clarify about the Shine. And he left out a passive ability he just newly claimed.

That is seriously what pinged you? LOL

I didn�t see that I had a pm with a link to the discord. Podima messaged me on discord telling me to check my pms, which I promptly did, and immediately joined the thread.

I said no I did not need the "specific descriptive words" in your background and rank you said you were refraining from sharing. And AFTER that I went on to ask you to sum up your abilities. But you left out that passive one you just told me now.

We are splitting hairs here. You clearly know more about large mafia games and roles than I do.

Haha this is insane. I guess I�ll go ahead and full claim everything I told bif when I first joined the discord.

Eh it�s nkt gonna matter. As you�ll see when I�m lynched. You�ll probsvly see my flip. Well I think I would have been useful too.

Thanks for nothing bif. There was clearly a reason you chose me to be advisor. But I didn�t think it would be you who prevented me from even getting a chance. Good job.

Bif asked for the basics:

My first post: Awesome! The basics: I am Roberto, town alignment. I�m a farmer, class is a tactician and a private rank.

Bif said �yeah I don�t need any of that stuff� and asked me to sum up my abilities

I can collect gear from a random dead player at the end of a battle. I can provide cover for another player in battle. I have very weak melee and range attacks. And I have an ability to join a battle in a rank of my choice. There are a few other specific descriptive words in my background and rank but Ill refrain from sharing them unless you think it�s ok.I know I said I want to be in the first battle, but I sort of think I will be more useful in battle later in the game.

I didn�t mention that I was immune to fire, which makes me think there is some sort of arsonist or fire role. I don�t know why I didn�t say that right away, I was worried about posting too much from my role pm.

Anything else, feel free to ask.

what happened to your read on Pera?

I forgot to include pera. I�m under a lot of pressure right now and also on my phone. Excuses, I know. But it�s the truth.

At this point There�s not much more I can say. I was looking forward to playing in my first shine game and didn�t expect my own mason partner to turn on me d1. Bif picked me to be advisor too lol. Woe is me, yeah I know. I�m frustrated.

there's actually a lot you can say. if you were looking forward to playng then why didn't you play?
i know NYE and holidays etc but maybe start with why the people on your scum list are scummy? that's all we really care about!

I really thought I was participating enough for d1 in the chat and in the mason chat. Obviously I�m the only one who thinks that, so I�ll have to rethink my strategy. But anyone who has played with me can attest that you will never get walls of text of my own thoughts in the style of peramene, TNL or even Bif, especially early in the game. Im not capable of crafting elegant posts of my words alone. Imo i thrive on dissecting other players� activity from previous days when I construct my scum cases. That�s how I have always played mafia.
