I was also going to request kidnapping flavor instead of murder flavor if we ever did decide to kill him. I would never harm Scotty 2 Hotty! What kind of monsters do you think we are?!

You are: A member of the Young Greens but are thinking of joining the Socialist Alliance. :confutoot:
You picked up some Socialist Alliance pamphlets Anidav dumped at the bar and they seem awfully convincing. All these Young Greens are misguided.

You are a Scum-aligned Traitor with reusable one-shot Tracking.

You are complex, to investigation you appear as scum but are not in contact with the scum group, you only know Anidav is one of them, you cannot contact him for fear of being exposed, or exposing him.
Curious now, you have the ability to track one player at night, once (PM me during night phase). However if that player does nothing you do not expend your ability and can try again. When you do succeed, they will be notified you saw them, after the actions are carried out.
Results will be in the form of "X did not visit anyone last night, and your curiosity remains" or "X visited Y tonight."

You win if all the town are eliminated or it is impossible for them to survive, and provided one other scum survives. If you are the last scum alive, you surrender your wicked socialist flirtation and lose.

After the final flight of Anidav you go back to your room and get to work. You find the attendees list and cross reference it with social media posts and hunt down Bifauxnens facebook page, most of it is friends only, so you do a greypages lookup of some of the commenters on her coverpage photo, finding one who attended uni with her. You send her a friend request and thankfully she has 2000+ fb friends so she accepts, from here you suss out her writing style and what her probable history with Bif was. You download Burner and send her an SMS from a fresh number saying you were her friend and lol you lost your phone so this is your new number and hey we should totally catch up and how are you doing these days. Bif replies that shes at a YG con and its a major lulz, though her pal from SA got hosed up on bulbs and fell out a window.

"OMG" you reply and burn the number.

Action Successful. Bifauxnen is scum.

Two things confirmed it for me - the first was his strident defense of you, but the major thing that tipped me was his response to my "there's scum on this lynch" post. Worlds biggest tell to me.

The only one I didn't twig to until right at the end was Milky. That was well done.

Yeah you were good but I can't remember a single other active player. The 4 main scum were super active. Most of my conversations were with them. I remember thinking that I was going to have a tough time convincing Milky/Beet/Bif to vote with me if I wanted them all voted out. I deliberately didn't voice suspicions of Beet and Bif in thread, and I was very soft touch on Milky who I wanted to free pass til D3 for being a bro anyway.

Great work from Kommando, hilarious flavour text, glad to see I created some drama over on the scumdoc. The first half of my play was definitely informed by dumb choices and dumb luck in not being killed for them, but the second half was intentional loving around for the sake of it, since the more poorly I performed, the more chance I had of the scum taking it.

Small Keating, what was going through your head? How was it knowing you had to find the scum and defend them without knowing who they all were?

Was the one shot roles too nerfy? I tried to make it kinda power light so there was more reading rather than nightactions.

why did you all roleclaim?

Scum, what did you think of the democratic godfatherless system? I think it added a bit of passive power to the scum as the investigators had to hit a moving target.

GAAAH this drove me crazy to no end. Okay it was worth it for the Anidav meltdown after he would've been hammered, but I don't see what could ever top that in the future so I see no harm in retiring this option.

I really liked the drama that came around from his role, even more after reading the PM with the full details on how it was set up. We were so uncertain about it, thinking he must be a 3P survivor that had thrown in with us only now that it looked like the town was hosed, and could flip back at any time.

I'm still semi-new to Mafia and this was my first time as scum, so I thought that was kind of how it was supposed to work anyway? :confused: I thought normally the godfather would pick a scum to do the NK and it didn't always have to be the same one?

It was awesome watching your nailbiting panic in the scumdoc when you were spotted. You guys had it in the bag and were dancing, then whoops, you got seen.

After spotting Bif with the bear, I initially didn't realise that Bif wouldn't know I was scum-aligned or that the first obvious move would be to NK me. As a result, I sort of blithely went about my business, figuring we were all on the same page and as such I would run interference whenever someone got close to Bif and otherwise watch for fellow Bif-supporters, who I figured were most likely to be scum. I also worried that my stupid moves early in the game would continue to be my undoing.

Eventually, I realised the precariousness of my position and was glad of the opportunity to put up a flare (i.e claim Bif was not involved in the TOML NK), which seemed to do the trick. On the last day, I was quite worried we didn't have the numbers because of absenteeism and that Bif was going to throw me under the bus, Anidav-style, to get back in with the townies, but at the last moment the scum cavalry showed up and all was well.

Solid game.

As far as day length vs hammer goes...

Hammer has a bit more immediacy and invites a bit more suspicion of the person who drops the final vote since, in a way, it is the most powerful. With day length, there's a bit more of a possibility for mindfucks. I kind of like it. However, I also agree that nothing seemed to really change once the vote was decided. Like TOML, it just didn't really add anything.

Maybe if we had more active players next time. I mean on day 4 I was trying to loop people to vote with me on something but town was too asleep and in the end all I got was TBK and Mith into a mindfuck. Which was good anyway but with more active players it would have been a tad better and maybe have gotten hooman on day 4.

Days length but only if the playerbase is proven active.

Yeah, today was weird for a while, cause we were convinced you had to be siding with us, but I thought they had a real good case on you. With the game nearly in the bag, but town inaction helping with that a lot, I kind of wanted to score more scummy points by keeping you alive if possible, as a survivor who'd ended up on our side. But while I had thought up some decent defense, since they all still thought I was scummy too, I thought it might really backfire if I was trying too hard.

I was just writing up that really weak "ooh hmmm I'm not sure now, SK better post so we can find out" post when you posted at the same time! So I was like "ah hah, what's the report then" and you said TBK, the guy everyone already thought was town and had now just dropped dead the same time you said to be visiting him. :doh: I had no clue what to think but I thought you had completely hosed yourself over and the townies would all vote for you anyway, so I decided to get in the first one to look more towny. But then the other scum pointed out that it hardly mattered at this point if you just stayed voting with us.

I was just really hoping that the town could have been swayed away to lynching someone else of their own volition, but that was getting a bit too greedy.

I was hoping it would allow absent players a chance to show up and make their case and have people swing back from a certain lynch before time was up. I was expecting people to change their votes back, vote and unvote a lot more. But it seemed once peoples minds were made up, that was it, discussion stopped until the flip.

I quite explicitly said that my accusation on Bif was not a defence of you - I was just more convinced of her guilt than yours at the time.
