He said that he was going to brutal cop one of his scum suspects, but just in case I was scum he declined to tell me who. (haha per his role, I'm pretty sure he was drunk when he was sharing this) He said he would probably tell me his target today but :iiam:

oh now this is interesting.

How does brutal cop work? pod dies if he investigates scum?

From what I recall, it means the cop kills any scum they investigate.

But I tried search the mafia wiki's and I can't find it. And I don't remember off hand what games it has been used in here.

Hum tried to claim it early on, but then said that was a lie.

So we don't know.

I would assume a vig would claim their kill of scum, so maybe that will still happen. If it was SK they probably won't claim.

And there is a chance he died to some other effect like PGO.

there are other, more hilarious, possibilities. it's possible that solus somehow got himself killed, because he visited pod last night. that's why i want to know how brutal cop works, did solus die because he was scum and visited pod? (this is also assuming we believe mmt/pod actually used a brutal cop). there's also another person who apparently doesn't want to come clean about visiting pod...

why are so many people lurking in this game.

Maybe time zones is a thing? Probably isn’t the best time for Australians to post and Kit has had previous issues with activity in previous games due to work schedule. Rhj still hasn’t proven their vampirism though I dunno if that’s cause timezones are bad for him or something more sinister.

Nat 20 being quiet is also unsettling for me, considering I’ve made a big post on why I find him suspicious. I’d definitely would like to hear his thoughts and Rhj to prove their vampirism so that we can prevent trying to use him lying as a launching point for a lurkervote.

I would like to hear more from Nat 20 so I’m gonna ##vote Nat20

Some of it might be timezones I guess. But yes, would be great if the wallflowers started posting.

I don't think Solus just visiting Pod would cause Solus to die. I guess he could have used his matchmaker on himself and Pod, that would force Pod to brutal cop him. But why would he do that? That would be a super weird choice.

Yeah, it's late there now, he's may be sleeping. But the thread was open all day for non game talk and he said nothing and the day started at probably around 7pm his time? If I got the time zones right?

I was already a bit sus on Yami, so maybe.

I'm still sus on Bif and would vote there to start the day if she hadn't done us the favor of proving her new vampire PR is real. She's at least telling the truth about that.

Also, weird that Rhj just popped in, said he was going to reread the day, then didn't comment on it.

I have *reasons* for not suspecting Nat20 currently. But I agree that his posting is very lacking. Like, his only usefulish comment while he was in thread was about how Pod, flipped towns, comment on him was uncharitable? Oh, and maybe, if we read between the lines, that he seems to have reasons for thinking pera isn't scum?

Would be nice if he brought his mafia abilities to bear on this game at some point.

First he argues that because of his role, Imgay is scum. But then changes tune to arguing that role shouldn’t be a determining factor in deciding scum and then decides to keep the vote on imgay for no stated reason and heads off to bed without any justification on his part and no consistent stem of logic. Out of the other votes which could be explained for personal reasons I.e. CLord and KB, this vote in particular stood out to me as the oddest.

It's interesting that you and Pod point out a contradiction that isn't actually there in my statements in order to push a vote on me.

Let's run through what I actually said.

Natural 20 posted:

Yeah I'm not moving my vote. Flavour and role don't determine alignment, Asiina does and I imagine she wouldn't have been able to help herself with some stuff.

So my initial statement is that Asiina determines your alignment above that of role and flavour.

I then suggest that she wouldn't have been able to help herself.

Now you could take the first part of the statement as a contradiction of the entire line I've been running for an entire day.

Or you could note the second part of the statement wherein I note that Asiina's choice on alignment would lead to her "Not being able to help herself"

What I'm suggesting is that sufficiently scummy roles and flavour will likely have been granted appropriate alignment as long as game balance wasn't affected by it.

I suppose therefore that flavour and role do determine alignment, but they only do so through the medium of Asiina's choice.

I mean mainly I really don't want to serious business a game that specifically isn't meant to be serious business.

I don't know about you, but if I put in a gigantic amount of effort into a game only to get memed by an absolutely broken scum role I'd be really really salty and there's a really goddamn high chance of that happening this game.

I know we’re all excited about night action Funtime, but i don’t want it to come at the cost of daytime activity. Honestly, with the crazy roles that exist, I’m leery of leaning too hard into night action mafia as hypothetically anything can be in the game and with the roles that have been flipped so far, trying to make full sense of the night phase seems like an exercise in futility. Not saying that night actions are completely useless though.

Yeah, Yami is in a similar time zone to me and it started around early evening for me IIRC. Though he may be slightly ahead of me so that could give him less time to post. I’ll give a day before I start properly hunting for him. He might be busy during the day.

I dunno where Rhj has gone. He said it was easy to prove, but still hasn’t done so? Maybe he’s in a time zone where he’s sleeping right now. Similar situation with Yami where I am willing to give a day before going full throttle on suspicions.

What was the case on Bif? She was honest about being targeted by imgay’s night ability, though I’m not sure if that’s really a strong indication of alignment. I haven’t twigged anything significant on her.

That was the post where I made the call, you'll need to read the exchange from the beginning in context.

She feels way off to me, but part of that could indeed just be the PR. I'm just thinking that is also a great excuse to lean into if you are scum.

You're not wrong, that would make things fall into place neatly, but deep down I know it means very little and is probably just the most opportunistic case he could make and it just so happened to be in Sal's "defense".

Honestly, the more I look, the more it looks like what I might do as scum, coming to town's defense when other town accuse them, so that I can be like "See I told you" if they get lynched.

Solus didn't have many posts, but his contribution to D1 was as follows:

- Declared that he didn't think you were scum (and earlier that he believed your VT claim)
- Declared that imgay was town
- Voted for B-
- Small interaction with bif and mmt
- One post 'interaction' with kb, humalong and myself

Normally scum try to not engage with one another. So I really don't think that should bring much suspicion on you, but it doesn't hurt to take into account and remember.

The spoiler thing is actually extremely annoying. This is were I am sitting at the moment:

I feel quite comfortable/ambivalent on a number of players at the moment. So my process of elimination, I think I am most suspicious of (in order):

Yami (disappearance, weird miller claim, leaving without voting when knowing they wouldn't be online for lynching)
Rhjamiz (too much lurking day 1)
Jimmy (behaving differently than normal town on day 1 and nothing so far to clear him)
Bif (not anything solid, but just suspicious of her)

I'm also suspicious of Chaos Lord and Natural 20. However, the first called out Solus' post as scum and the latter was cleared by KB.
