Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I think Dongs just turned infin's gambit on himself. If Infin were himself a town boss, he wouldn't have lied and said he could only detect rival godfathers. I really think he was hoping he found a rival scum boss to kill and gain town cred, but now he's boned. Town lynches are a happy side effect that he was all too happy to encourage when he wanted to see everyone turning on each other.

The way it's worded is that I return results on Bosses only. So I can likely only find the Godfather of the scum team, and if there are any 3P Bosses like a Masonry.

Just quoted this, but note that by suggesting he can only find a scum godfather, cops can't clear anyone on his list. Pretty insidious if he's a town boss.

Seems like he and you are making setup spec more than anything. I think his interpretation of his role is wrong and bad, but your play seems worse.

Setup spec? He didn't claim to be a boss himself, it's only because of dongs that we know he is one. By saying he can find scum godfathers, we can't investigate his claims and prove any of them innocent.

Now we know he's a boss, and that he told a few lies to get this ball rolling. Dongs coming out saves unnecessary (potential) town lynches (SSV, glowku, AR) which is a super townie move.

There are a lot of scummy smells coming from infin now because of dongs. Maybe I'm misreading, though. What's your interpretation besides OMGUS ##vote

I'm vacillating like a madman here but after reading infin and the OP a few times, unless infin is jerking us around and misreading the results dongs is actually claiming to be a scum godfather.

If infin finds a list of bosses that is "trying to take over the outfit" then one of them MUST be a scum godfather. Gonna withhold my vote and let others weigh in, but if we're wrong on this dongs is gonna get doctored every night and we're gonna kick ourselves for being duped.

Adahn seems to be organically thinking things through and just posting his thoughts as they come up. I do this to. I read him as town.

piggy posted:

there are x # of players who are bosses in this game. i believe there can be town-aligned bosses, scum-aligned bosses, and itd be weird, but maybe even a 3p boss.

I feel like the nature of a "boss" precludes the existence of multiple bosses on one team, we should be looking very closely at Infinitum and dongsbot because one of them is probably scum.

Now to go back and re-read Inf's original claim.

I definitely don't want infin turboed while he's gone, but of the two bosses I see dongbot's play as way more town than infin's. If he were a town boss he probably wouldn't have come right out, knowing that godfathers investigate as town and his actions will likely result in mislynches.

But if he were scum he'd assume the town boss would CC. This is the problem with WIFOM

I reaaaalllly think he was hoping he hit the jackpot and got the other scum team's boss. So he gets the other GF lynched, gains massive town cred, and gets a doc on him until endgame.

Good play unless what happened happens.

Ok so re-reading the way Inf presented his claim, it does seem a bit off. First, his initial post doesn't mention anything other than his snoop ability. He presents it as if he found a list with at least ONE non-town aligned player. Dongsbot claims his ability has the same name and only finds rival bosses to himself (am I reading that right?). So, right off the bat Inf is misrepresenting his ability as some kind of multi-cop thing.

Infinitum posted:

The way it's worded is that I return results on Bosses only. So I can likely only find the Godfather of the scum team, and if there are any 3P Bosses like a Masonry.

Again, if we assume dongs is telling the truth, then this post misrepresents what this ability actually does. It's still possible that, if Inf is a town boss, then he just interpreted his ability as finding anti-town bosses, but that would require that he know there are no duplicate bosses. Not to mention, Inf immediately assumes that the scum boss has to be a godfather. Its not a HUGE leap of logic to assume that, but its there.

Its also interesting to note that both dongs and Inf have posited the existence of 3p bosses. I think they know more that we aren't being told.

Interested to hear others thoughts on Inf. Going to do a re-read of dongs next.

I just read the mafia wiki and an assassin is a mafia role that bypasses protective roles, I think. Someone might have it as a shine power, since a lot of shine abilities are overpowered.

Speculating wildly, of course.

dongsbot 9000 posted:

i was going to use my alternative boss power to kill infi but then i thought about it and infi is probably another outfit-aligned boss

First obviously non-joke posts after Inf presents his results. Also the first post where dongs claims there can be multiple outfit-aligned bosses. This doesn't read to me as a town reaction, because if I had a specific role as town that another player was claiming my first instinct would be to counterclaim them, not make excuses for why there might be two.

Also he's calling people dumb who put forward perfectly reasonable ideas, which is scum 101.

Here's one question I have

dongsbot 9000 posted:

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

If you think bosses are some kind of elaborate backup system, presumably your PM indicates what kind of powers you can gain when you "level up"?

Of the two (inf and dongs), I have a stronger scum ping on dongs, but its not by much.
