Clearly the plan is to mirror Inf's postcount exactly and therefore avoid any suspicion.

Seriously though, there are two questions.

1. Does anyone have anything on anyone else beyond YPM posting too much and been suspected by Hal?

2. Can anyone counterclaim YPM being TM's partner? Because if not then I'm leaning on him being town pretty strongly.

But that makes no sense! If nobody counterclaims him on being TM's partner then it's highly likely that he's not lying and is town.

I mean, I actually like your theory about postcount but I don't think it gels with information subsequent to your initial vote.

Inf's entire meta is to latch onto something amazingly stupid and just ride it into the ground for no reason, that's alignment neutral.

Bif jumping on the "case" as though it's a real thing that makes sense, then jumping right off apparently because ypm made him laugh, now that's your scumbo.

You're assuming every mason pair is confirmed town to each other and they're not.

Makes no difference to me, but at the end of the game my hypothesis, regarding high post count by scum in a low-posting game, will prove correct; and YPM will flip scum.

I really don't like the assumption that a town's mason partner is also town. That seems real off.

Wait, what? The game instructions specifically say masons are unconfirmed:

Flying Leatherman posted:

Welcome to Flavorful Mafia, a closed-setup, moderate-flavor game for 18 players. This was an initially-whimsical concept that kinda spun out of control at some point along the design curve and became what it is now. Please note that the setup is fairly experimental, so if you prefer standard games this one may not be for you. You'll be paired with another player in the game in an unconfirmed masonry. Some of you will just be masons. Some of you will be masons with a power role. It may not be in your best interest to claim your flavor or role!

That's fair. My assumption rests on the idea that a scum player that can openly and easily lie to a town player would be an amazingly powerful role for scum.

Given that I think the ability for that to happen is going to be limited at best.

I see that idea, though I think that by having a warning upfront from the op that masons in this game are unconfirmed, scum's ability to lie to their mason buddy is diminished (since the mason buddy should not be assuming that their mason is town).

Again, ordinarily maybe yes, but much less so when the op all but tells people: "Hey that person who is in the masonry with you might be town or might be scum, you don't know for sure!"

It's a matter of gradation I guess. In every game of Mafia you walk in knowing some people are going to be lying to you. But because there's a lot of scrutiny I think it's harder to deceive people.

Happy to say I'm underestimating the possibility though. I'll defer to you guys on that.
