Normally I would advocate against a no-lynch but with so many powerful town roles it would really suck to accidentally cap someone really useful (Sheriff, Investigator, etc.)

On the other hand town literally being 100% power roles/there being third parties being detrimental to the town that are not Mafia I'm not opposed to getting a lynch done.

Magnus asking TT to create a case seems kind of unreasonable though because it's day 1 - all there is to go off of is meta-judgments (which frankly I can't make with this being my second SA game). I am currently ill at ease voting for anyone currently voted for and I'm not finding a lot to base any kind of case off of except Magnus's fervor for lynching TT who evidently votes no-lynch D1 fairly frequently based on what I'm seeing/hearing? I dunno if that's enough to build off of.

An excellent question!

Magnus would be a pretty obvious choice but I'm undecided on him - he could have just made a poor choice with his roleclaim, but now that we're cooling a bit on him he may be getting away scot-free. The only way to know 100% is if someone comes forward as a sheriff or investigator, which I would not recommend. I'm not a super great mafia player so making a call is difficult. I also want to know why he's not pushing TT again as he was So Sure on the previous day.

Mostly I'm suspicious of anyone who didn't vote D1 - mfcrocker, Opopanax, Pinterest Mom and Poison Mushroom didn't vote. Pintrest Mom is dead, Opopanax is talking a bit, PM is quiet but could be at work or something? Not sure how I feel about that.

If you forced me to guess I'd pick Magnus Gallant, Opopanax, Poison Mushroom and Somberbrero (maybe not all mafia - one could be an arsonist or something I dunno). Ask me again D3?

Also since we're engaged in a dialog:

mfcrocker posted:

So you don't think any other good could come out of D1 that you wanted it over that quickly?

Pretty much! I'm here to play, not dither around while inevitable votes slowly trickle in. I was on the fence for lynch/no-lynch to begin with. The only person I would have wanted to vote was Magnus but it was obvious that wasn't going to happen.

Statistics? I'm assuming there's 4 scum, 2 third parties and 7 town (or maybe 3/2/8 I dunno). I know neutral roles are in the game so I "budgeted" for it. More important, I was asked who I think is suspicious - not who I think is scum. Third parties can harm the town and we should be on the lookout for them!

Man, short day yesterday. Only 12 hours.

I don't agree with the Mags lynch. If you claim poisoner, it's no different to claiming town vig. But everyone was all "HE MIGHT HIT TOWN". Well no poo poo. The investigation implied there was a 50% chance he could be the arsonist, and even then I didn't agree with voting him. But then I checked OP and it was actually a 1/3 chance and that's even more bullshit. Bad town.

I really really don't like sombers approach to everything he said about magnus and pushing the magnus lynch ##vote somber. Ras is also gut pick for maybe badguy.

Cpig is goodguy.

Tearshed is barely posting and the one post of serious importance is disagreeing with Somberbrero, who made a lot of very good points and who was probably the main reason Magnus was lynched so effectively. I feel like they are just dodging scrutiny via inactivity (but! to be fair, they could just be busy - god knows I'd rather do things on my break than try to re-read pages of this game whilst on the crapper at work).

Capitalist Pig:

I don't have a third pick for scum because frankly I'm not picking up on a whole lot to work with because, surprise, Somberbrero has been up my rear end since Magnus died and frankly I feel like I'm the only "scum" being hunted.

where you believe I'm scum for... agreeing with you? You legitimately made a good point that I, in my inexperience, overlooked - that a reckless poisoner is a liability. Similarly, what I had posted earlier didn't have any particularly strict criteria; only that I was vaguely considering a group of people. Forgive me for not adhering to strict scientific rigor when replying to what I thought was a basic question!

Following that up you confuse two spots of humor (sorry!) for some kind of horrid scum tell. I am very sorry I used the word "crusade" when disregarding your complete lack of an actual case presented.

I think Somberbrero just picked up on one bad statement I made and is honing in on it, or possibly an Executioner with lynching me as his goal. Magnus was much more critical, but even when attempting to discredit Magnus he was working me over.

Also if anyone gives a poo poo I'm the escort. Night one I roleblocked Magnus Gallant because he was hellbent on TT and I was concerned that TT might not make it through the night (statistically, TT is/was more likely to be town than scum). Night two I roleblocked mfcrocker because both Somberbrero and mfcrocker were gunning for me, but Somberbrero's actions made me feel that he was more than likely either a town role just trying to be helpful or an Executioner who needed me dead to claim personal victory while mfcrocker was more interested in just having me dead. If mfcrocker was going to protect tithin, well... poo poo! Sorry dudes. With what appears to be two roleblockers, a jailor and who else knows what's going on I probably didn't think that through and I do apologize. I would also be concerned if mfcrocker immediately came back saying "yes I was going to protect him, ergo Epsilon is scum", though, so...

I'd really like to hear what people other than Somber and mfcrocker have to say, however. If I'm to be lynched, I'd at least like to see everyone's opinion so that you know who to trust after my corpse is hoisted.

If you can't see why having a poisoner running around killing people at random is a bad thing I am not sure how to explain it more effectively than previous players have. We technically lynched a townie, but someone killing without direction is a liability regardless of alignment. If he had kept silent until later to try and coordinate a potential scum kill, that would have been reasonable.

Currently I think that TT is some kind of neutral role we honestly don't need to worry about - his posting style has made it pretty clear that he's disconnected from the game. CPig has counter-claimed me, which I of course find inherently suspicious having claimed the same role previously. So far I've got these players, in order of most-lynchable to least-lynchable:

1. CPig
2. TT

CPig claims night 2 that he was "completely ineffectual", shortly after PMush says she was roleblocked. I've already stated I roleblocked mfcrocker that night (although it was afterwards). His posting has been pretty lackluster all game but I assume he's doing it from his phone (look at those periods) or busy or some poo poo, so that's a non-issue. The only time he's really dug into somebody was with Magnus, though - but we appeared to be pretty much all in agreement at that point. I was suspicious of CPig the previous night but didn't have much to back it up at the time.

PMush, I think you're either telling the truth and you're the bus driver, or it's (less) likely you're the Witch. However, you've not done a whole lot with your day phase - you mostly appear to be fighting with TT instead of doing anything particularly useful. Having you around as a bus driver is useful though; as we've not gotten any scum yet, even if you're just randomly swapping people you're getting more likely to nail scum (assuming scum don't do something ridiculous like target one of themselves on the off-chance you randomly select a scum). So:

1. CPig
2. PMush
3. TT

Lampsacus seems to be coasting by on having claimed sheriff despite a wide variety of interesting posts!

Lampsacus posted:

##vote no lynch

Because it sounds reasonable. But I am careful of just following the pack. With role madness I am excited to see the clusterfuck of results. :p

This is the exact same poo poo I've been slammed for previously. Similarly:

Lampsacus posted:

I don't understand agreeing that Mag is a town role AND voting to lynch them.

Town should be vying for not_town lynches.

This was after the reasons for lynching Magnus Gallant were pretty clearly stated. This is the same thing Teashed got lynched for (at least partially, in my opinion). Ras stated it more clearly than me with:

Rascyc posted:

I don't want these posts to vanish into the ether. There is something really wrong with this sequence. It goes from an over-explanation of strategies to "Is lynch all liars a thing on SA Mafia?" to "I misread Magnus" to "Lynch all liars".

Also TT brought up the interesting gambit possibility, which I'm not sure if I buy but I'm definitely thinking about it.

So now we stand at:

1. CPig
2. PMush / Lampsacus
3. TT

I've already stated how I feel about Opop:

1. CPig
2. Opop
3. PMush / Lampsacus
4. TT

mfcrocker's actions appear to contradict TT's, and I don't think TT has any real reason to lie about his role/his posting is a pretty clear tell for his role. He also claims to have used his night action on TT twice under belief that he was the jailor. Moreover, he states that TT interacted with Magnus that night, which doesn't mesh with the roles TT could feasibly be. So:

1. CPig
2. Opop
3. mfcrocker
4. PMush / Lampsacus
5. TT

Finally Ras's posting doesn't have anything particular pointing out, other than disagreeing with me on CPig, which isn't really anything to build a case on. But still more likely to be scum than TT.

So basically my list, after rereading the entire thread several times and confusing myself more than once is:

1. CPig
2. Opop
3. mfcrocker
4. PMush / Lampsacus
5. Ras
5. TT
