In a game where we could be facing two town deaths a night I don't think putting our most valuable pieces in front, even a little, is a winning play on Day 1.

A mass claim might--might--help the town narrow down D1 lynch odds. An individual power claim is completely nutso, as it ensures you're almost certainly going to die that night or the next, and either way you could just get roleblocked, and a vanilla claim just helps the scum aim a little better and gives the town no info because of course a scum would claim vanilla town.

This is actually a really bad vote. A lot of people have the same perspective as me, why vote me for it? Cogs plan is anti town because it will cause power roles to be targeted by mafia.

Okay it's a bad idea that will greatly benefit scum much more than any benefit it would give to town.

It's not a bad vote reason. Others said it was a dumb idea, but you were saying it's a scum idea. That's different.

It's hard to see how scum would come up with that plan though, seems very risky, especially for a new player.

getting claims out there in an open setup sort of benefits the town in many cases, i don't know what type of games he is most experienced with but on epicmafia many of the formats are best served by day 1 mass claims

for this setup I dont think its the best idea there are too many safe claims, too many power roles, and 2 night kills

Doesn't mean it was a good scum play. If he's scum. I conceded that it's not damning evidence.

I just think a mass claim of power roles is dumb af and is bound to get them killed or rbed

Hello friends, after reading some of the other auspol Mafia threads to familiarise, I understand my first move is meant to vote for Kashuno?

Actually, I'm considering something. I think the town might benefit from a mass claim.

Thoughts?

These sort of logic games aren't something I'm particularly good at sussing out. Assuming you're right it seems like it could work, but it genuinely does not seem like a fun way to play the game at all. I'd rather be wrong with every one of my convictions and end up losing since it's more fun at yelling at everyone calling them fools and being denigrated back, as is really the true spirit of the Mafia game.

Is it that bad of a vote? I don't agree with gulag but he thinks that you're attacking someone who is blatantly town. Saying that other people share your perspective is particularly weak in such a binary issue.

Eh. I don't put much faith in those sort of truisms. You could just as easily say that being new makes him a wild card who's out to break all our boundaries.

I just finished running a game online for my friends. At least he's not basing his vote off of the number of letters in a name.

F'reals though I've caught mostly up, last thing I'm not 100% sure on is what they were talking about on the scum doc of Podimas last game I read is what busing is and why I'm going to probably get owned by it.

Ok, say one mafia claims power. Then each power role claims what they are, and we lynch whatever we have two of. Mafia dies.
Also this is dumb and you should sit in the corner and think about what you've said. If one mafia is going to claim a power why wouldn't every mafia claim a power? Then we have 9 claims to powers, 4 of which are doubled and we have a 50/50 shot of lynching the power role and losing it forever by not letting our backups come online. Spend 4 days doing that in the best case, but lets see how well we look trying that with all the night murdering happening too.

Hello, confirming!

I like the motivation behind cogs idea (as others have already said), but not the idea itself. Not that I've played more than one game with the guy (and not that I've ever seen his scum game), but that post reminds me of his content focused game in the other game I played with him.

Bussing is when one scum accuses/gets into a fight with/leads a lynch on another scum for town cred

Oh sweet thanks, my previous thinking was that its when they all voted together in a minute to cause the hammer and gently caress someone over, hence "throwing them under the bus". But I don't want to say the wrong term later when everyone's going to tear out my throat thinking I made a scumslip.
