I had a quick look through mith's posts to see if there's anything worthwhile and after tirade, the only people she seemed remotely suss on were milky (rip) and FS. so that was a dead end :(

uh nooooo that sounds like a nice weigh in from beyond the grave, honestly.

Yes, dastardly. What masterful minds.

Congratulations on being deliberately misleading. again.

I'm saying that you three are in a mafia together - he backs up your "town" claim, but not your roleclaim - but the implicit confirmation of your alignment backs up your roleclaim.

It's not an nth dimension anything, it's a fairly loving basic play if anything.

so the theory is that they wanted to get rid of people that would support your push on FS, because getting rid of you would be more damning?

No I got that I'm just playing what ifs with the rest of you instead of actually looking for scum.

Apparently by general consensus thats the way the games played.

Lynch people who annoy you, Furiously question role claims, and whatever you do, DON'T ACTUALLY LOOK FOR SCUM.

getting rid of me or FS would be damning as if FS flipped town I'd look extra scummy.


Wait no I think I just further convinced myself that FS is scum.

Which 3, Gaspy, TOML and whats for dinner?

Maybe WFD could turn out to be a naive Pyne and his results are borked, but the only way I'm going to believe he's not telling the truth about being the cop is if Freudian Slip pops up at lunchtime saying it's him instead.

what I'm getting at is it may still be loving stupid if FS showed up to counterclaim, but at least it would be statistically POSSIBLE as a dumb play to make. If no one counterclaims cop at all, that means Tithin's suggesting town has no cop period.

This could be some more of Mills' 'I want you guys to stop relying on daaaataaaaaa' thing from the last time he ran a vanilla-only game. If it is, I'd be extraordinarily pissed, though.

he's already run a basic game already? gently caress how many times have you played mafia while I was away. I thought this was game 5 after my Greens one.

You were identifying a scummy playstyle. Eh. No one would blame you. I haven't been in a game long enough for people to see how I play. I get the same way with video games/puzzles/riddles. Monomaniacal. Peak haughty.

nameclaiming reeks of ignoring the evidence that the names either don't mean anything; they're opposite to what we'd all expected; or they're based on some totally alien system incomprehensible to mortal minds (ie., who mills does or doesn't like). so it's at best pointless, and at worst could be seen as an attempt at leading people back into the name and role analysis that proved to be so destructive in the transformers game. so i'm kind of suss on people who keep trying to weasel names out of the other players.

i don't have anything to say wrt "she's not playing like herself". this is literally my second game. i don't have a signature playstyle yet and am just trying to break away from the mistakes i made in my last game, where i was too aggressive, almost got lynched, and then got killed on day 2 because soag thought i was suss.

there's too many variables for me to comment on that. a well-coordinated scum team could have one claim a princess role and another claim a cop role, both fake, but guaranteeing that nobody was game to lynch the first player and were reluctant to lynch the second. yes, it's a long shot, but people in this very game have claimed that scum throwing their own godfather under the bus on the first night is semi-feasible and i think it would be a pretty straightforward ploy compared to that.
