what's scummy about trying to test whether cpig's ability can be used more than once (and the possibility that he might hold on to it to mylo or lylo if he were scum)

Hi! You are welcome for hammering scum. It was one of the most thrilling moments in my mafia career.

Yeah, I really wish I had used this power when I had it in another game. Super exciting.

CapitalistPig posted:

It cant, I'm vt now.

In case it matters, when I had this power previously, I could use it twice during the game, but not consecutively. I'm sure different mods do things differently though.

I'm going to look this up in a bit, but for the record, has there ever been a scum hammer power on an SA mafia game? Having one to fall on Somber is just enough to be plausibly busing, and I want to see if there is any precedent before we jump to CPig as having an essentially confirmed alignment.

Opopanax posted:

It doesn't matter if there were 100 or this was the first, don't confirm people based on role

I have a hard time imagining Cpig scum doing that to Somber scum as bussing. I know Cpig will do things for comedy, but that seems cruel. I'm pretty sure Cpig is town now.

There isn't a lot to glean from Somber's post history. His interactions with Chic don't seem like bussing to me, but I could maybe see his interaction with Rurea in that light. Similarly, Rurea's interactions with Somber seem to have a really light touch. I could see a Rurea/Somber scum team.

We didn't get a lot of content out of day 1, so there isn't much to go on yet, but this seems like a good start.

Because scum have to be afraid of the lynch unless they can swing it in their favor. Prying for details on it doesn't make sense as town, because it's not something they should be trying to game or steer.

Also, if it's a scum power, why blow it on Day 1 on a jokevote bandwagon against scum?

yes... as town i should feel super okay about someone being able to control the one ability i have (my vote) without question. anything i say about this topic is steering conversation in a bad direction, and is not me trying to figure out if i should be careful of placing my votes in the future or not.

and if it's a scum ability, i don't see why scum wouldn't use it on d1? but never mind that the ability could be a 3p one or something, let's just arbitrarily decide that talking about a turbo is scummy.

So thats a really interesting day/night cycle we just had. MCS, is there any particular reason why you phrased your question to CPig in a hypothetical where you're scum? Why not just ask him directly? Feel free to explain it to me like i'm a literal child because I'm genuinely curious what the motivation was there.

Apart from that I don't have a lot of questions yet, and I don't think throwing heaps of shade around is going to help us at this particular moment but there's been some very interesting claims on D2 so far that I'd like to talk about tomorrow. I'll be around but I don't really want to step in any poo poo because I really wanna survive today just to get some answers

Fair enough, I'm not really familiar with any of the posters here so I guess I should probably read through a bunch of old mafia games to see how you all play town/scum but its a lot of effort.

I dont really think lurking D1 is particularly suspicious because it always seems like a clusterfuck, but I think we're at a really interesting place right now and i'd be genuinely surprised if anyone was still lurking by the time we're 24 hours or so into D2

"You could call it heroic responsibility, maybe," Harry Potter said. "Not like the usual sort. It means that whatever happens, no matter what, it's always your fault."
Is Ernie attempting some sort of bizarre jesterbluff and/or is this me-on-a-bad-day level play? I am admittedly a bit dazed and confused.

I'm thinking the Burgundy/Rurea dynamic is slipping under our attention; one of the two is probably scum, with the very methodical posts by KB and the single "he does" by Rurea.

I'm leaning towards the latter.
