I don't know that I want to claim.

I have a night action, I used it last night, it was inconclusive about Hal. I should be able to determine his alignment tonight, with a few caveats, if he's not dead because he got lunch'd.

I need to re-read about CPig.

CPig wtf was your scum game, dude. I guess it was good since I thought you were too scummy to be scum.

Final note as I'm putting on my shoes: you should probably lynch me today. You take away the perfect town victory, but I don't have any content at all for you to look at on any of the flipped scum - you're looking for a single scum player left. That is, you aren't going to learn anything new about me over the next X days while trying to find the last scum. If I'm the last scum, I'm playing this like a Survivor and have no d1 history that you can look at to see how my reads progressed from when I had to interact with my scum buddies.

Re-read notes:
Ernie obviously is town.

I don't think Somber is scum, through a read of Narc. Narc did all the things I think a newbie scum would do, and this post:

AnonymousNarcotics posted:

Guys I don't think somber is scum. His scum tell is that on day 1 he picks someone to target and yells about it.

I would vote merk though because he is actively contributing nothing.

But I still don't know.

What do you mean 'no performing monkeys'?
Okay fine, this game is a bit of a crapshoot and it's obviously gone completely broken for the scum due to some night action I don't think we'll understand until the end.

I am a tracker. I chose Hal N1, because I meant it when I said I thought he might be a scumbo, and he was the least under suspicion so it felt like a good choice.

I don't like there being a busdriver, but I think it's probably town based on the play of CPig and Narc who would have been quite hard bussing? Honestly "I have to use it every night" sounds like something a scum would say in case they get caught in an action though, and I am totally fine killing the wah wah bus driver.

Also cop is the laziest shittiest role, and without things like godfathers it is dumb. Imo it's in direct opposition to a what a mafia game should be about.

We also need to consider the possibility of a ninja which usually bypasses tracking/watching, so my role might be useless too now. Though I think that's less likely unless the order of night events went SK NK -> Scum NK, which is possible. It would suggest that the killer of PMush is still at large.

However, I think it's unlikely that this is the case, because PMush was a very bad target for a kill. PMush was scummy, and had little or no influence on the group as a whole imo. I think it's more likely there was some weird interaction, but from a game setup POV that seems kind of unfair having like a SK PGO without having a town-based NK in the mix. I still think it's more likely the death was a result of something like that though, because honestly why would you not let PMush live N1 without any knowledge he was a SK or w/e.

We have a doc, a cop and a tracker claimed. And a busdriver. We all know that role is generally anti-town in both intent and in action. A mandatory busdriver for town.

I don't want it, personally, unless the last player is godfather/ninja/penetrates doc (can't remember what that's called) MC ED is only a bad thing.

##vote MC ED

Take out the trash, do our investigations unimpeded, do the whole full claim thing first. Merk could be double bluffing volunteering for death, in this situation that would probably be a good play, but I think he's town.

I'll claim, you may decide to kill me over it, but if you do you can at least still get something out of it.

I'm a poisonbomb/poisoner. Kind of a weird town role. If I am hammered, the hammerer is poisoned and dies the end of the next day. Alternately I can poison someone at night (and they die at the end of the next day). It's one-shot, if I poison at night I lose the poisonbomb.

True story, Opop forgot to send my alignment in the original PM and I assumed I was 3rd party or scum until he sent another PM that was like "oh by the way you are town"

Anyway, it doesn't sound like a town role so if you want to kill me I understand, just make sure your second scum choice is forced to hammer me.

That being said, if I was scum I would almost certainly have just poisoned someone last night.

(this answer doesn't include ongoing games)

I've been playing a lot more Mafia than normal, and in my last run, there's been SMT (Ernie was scum), The Room (Ernie was scum), and The Kill (where I started the game thinking Ernie was confirmed town). Part of it was that I wanted to breadcrumb a "wow every time I play with Ernie he's either scum or confirmed town" (and then either park a vote on him if scum, or talk about how I don't suspect him if town). From a "hunting scum" perspective, the CPig/Ernie lie detector thing was shady and felt like one of them was lying. Unlike, for example, the Lumpen/Somber argument where both players kept piling on information which made me read them as both town.

The most honest answer - I didn't put a super amount of thought into it, I read over Ernie and came out of it with "I'm not 100% of his alignment" so I went for it. The breadcrumb thing was on my mind though.

I am verifiable through my night action, merk should know this. Merk also threw out a "kill me" post and has proceeded to come up with people other than him who should die.

I'm not going to go to great lengths to defend this, but read my calls on Narc and you'll find that I would have had to have hard bussed narc, when it would have been unnecessary and downright harsh for a newbie.

Also, I am pretty much verifiable unless you think I can NK + track, which is nonsense.

merk, if you're not scum you are doing a lovely job, you said you should die and I think you are a great poison target, I don't think we need to get rid of Hal immediately because if you don't die at the end of tomorrow to a hal poison tonight then we know hal was lying and committed a NK.

Today, we need to lynch MC ED, the professed busdriver who has the ability to gently caress up all of our results and with the disparity in power roles that obviously exist between town and scum, the chance of a busdrive hurting the town is much greater than the scum.
