Why would there be multiple town-aligned bosses that's stupid.

Today better be one of Infinitum/dongs imo, and my money is on songs.

Also we really should be careful with that ability because trading three townies for one scum is not worth.

we grow stronger when other bosses die so we're basically backups in a sort of way

Why would you claim now with pretty much 0 pressure on you?

The heat is currently pointed towards Glowku and SSV.

Well bosses sound like a particularly important mechanic so I'm glad we have two of them outed already.

HEY INFINITUM, IF dongs is right and it is possible for there to be multiple town-aligned bosses, why did you out another town player as a lynch candidate? Why is it worth killing not scum today?

bossi are presumably al capones lieutenants, and probably a mole or two, after the poo poo went down.

we can snoop around to figure out who else is a boss. we also have access to another ~secret power~ atm and when other bossi die, we get power. presumably we all get power. infi claim cuz hes a dumb power whore.

one of podima's explicit design policies for shine i was to prevent mechanics lynching by messing w/ setup spec and i cant believe there r people dumb enough to go "oh no the role is called BOSS guess that means theres only 1, the unforced day 1 claim by dongsbot 9000, the best mafia player in the whole world, must mean he's scum"

I think Dongs would have to send me a message saying 'I am scum, it's alright to vote for me' before I would. And I'm pretty close to the same with AR. They're both really good players who I try and emulate to a certain extent. Glowku hasn't been playing much so I'm not sure how to interpret his actions, and SSV has heavy lurked in multiple games recently. However, I don't remember Infinitum being helpful in any game I've played with him, so I'm not sure if he's being truthful or trying to pull some insane gambit hoping that us townies never catch on.

This is an odd reaction afaic

like literally the entire role (minus one part) is that bosses become stronger when other bosses die pretend its not called boss why couldnt / wouldnt there be multiple bossi per game

i did a snoop and found boss in absurd, adahn, aa, an, cpig, ccat

absurd were on both me and infis list but i think that might be a coincidence

im a lil suspect of aa or an who both voted me i wouldnt be surprised to find out that one of them is the scum mole boss

You're not wrong, it would have to be a hell of a gambit for you to be scum.

You're saying that we have multiple town aligned players who objective is to get other town aligned players killed. I am finding that hard to believe.

i think the role pm is pushing us to think that way (must kill other bosses) for sick lols but i think the purpose in game balance is to put power roles into the game with a disguised backup system

I dunno, thought bosses showing up in infin's list were described as "taking over the outfit" and therefore one of the scum teams. I think by definition it wouldn't pick up a town - aligned "boss", right? Also godfather is necessarily a scum role. It's scum that invests as town.

Makes zero sense.

I don't know if I buy this Quid because Inf is still suspicious.

I read his post last night and I was pretty suspect of it because: a) it seems pretty powerful for every night ability, b) it's pretty dumb to claim it immediately (even with a result) and c) it's pretty lucky to pick 4 random people and get a positive result on N0.

I'd think if I was in Infs shoes, I'd let D1 play out and try to direct the vote towards any one of the 4 players he picked without claiming. Then regardless of the outcome, I'd recheck 2 of the players during N1 so D2 would either be a 50/50 chance of lynching a boss or possibly a guaranteed scum lynch if one of the players got lynched on D1.

If there is more than one scum kill tonight, then Inf is almost certainly a dead man because the doctor can only protect from one kill during the night.
