Earlier someone said that everybody should roleclaim now, what's the consensus on whether this helps town or not? I'm too scrubby to really know the difference :v:

Also Met, I'm loving the new av.

Thanks!

Scum would just lie and use their roles more effectively knowing what our roles are. I assume some townie roles would benefit from not being known as well.

Hmmm I see. I found the post I was talking about.

is there any reason not to immediately massclaim?

Somber can you explain your reasoning here?

Also, what's to stop town with useful power roles from lying about those as well? There probably isn't a town doctor, because it's a useless role for us, and with a closed setup, there's no knowing what roles the town players have, aside from the NK we all get.

The biggest problem I see with that plan is that it also fails if we have one scum targeting the two others, or two scum each targeting the remaining scum. I still think it's the best option presented so far, but being aware of potential failings is important. I think that coordinating daytime power roles as best as we can is going to be key as well. We don't know how many cops we have, but it probably isn't more than one, as that would be pretty heavily in town's favor, unless there's a godfather or something similar.

I'm also curious what sort of information can be gleaned from our flavor, and if there are any common themes. There may actually be a third-party that's flavored as Quentin Tarantino himself who would actually win if everybody dies. Of course, that may have been a plush joke, but it's certainly something to consider.

I'm guessing there are probably three scum, plus at least one third party player. With our info-lynch, and assuming we have a cop, we have a decent chance of outing at least one of them, so long as we're smart.

3p doesn't make much sense to me in a game like this. Any reason you're considering the possibility?

I thought PMush had hinted at it in his posts, but it looks like I had misread. When I first checked the thread after PMs got sent, I admittedly skimmed it. I'm not entirely convinced there isn't some sort of 3p, as it could gently caress with people with investigative roles. There might also be some weird 3p with a weird wincon; PMush's crack about how if everyone ended up dead, Quentin Tarantino wins was more than likely a joke, but this game is off the wall enough that I'm not willing to completely discount the possibility.

Why are you so convinced that EP isn't scum?

You said that he was clean when this:

Epsilon Plus posted:

the mafia disease known as "friendship"

was the only post he had made other than his sign-up and confirm posts. I fail to see how that's any indication of his alignment, unless you have access to OoT information.

I literally have The Shining but only when it comes to Epsilon's alignment.

It might also be that you're scum and are latching on to a townie. Or that you two are scumbuddies, but that seems a bit brazen. Then again, maybe you're the 3p, which could explain your skepticism of there being one in the game. I don't know, but several of your posts have thrown up some red flags for me.

It could be that Somber and EP are linked somehow. I think it's more likely that Somber is scum, but that doesn't necessarily negate a link between them either.

If we can get a scum flip with the lynch, then we have a good chance of winning, even moreso if our cop(s?) gets a hit. Does anyone have any decent reads on potential scum yet?

Because I'm a daycop. Having a nightcop in this game would be useless. If y'all want to switch to me, I'd be alright with it and will switch my vote if need be. Remember that we only need a plurality here.

you cop then you either shoot or not

That's true, I hadn't thought of that. However, this way is more useful to us as town. If you want to confirm both me as town and Mills as scum, vote me.

No Mafia were killed.

I don't think it would have mattered for this particular game, but next time I don't thing the Mafia should have any power roles other than their kill.

I didn't follow the plan, by the way. I shot MMM instead. :negative:

Also, suck it, EXACT Science. Paranoid Gun Owner, woo! I had no idea how I would use the role to my advantage. I could have claimed something that would make me a priority to be killed by the Mafia but I didn't want to risk too many townies thinking I was full of poo poo and aiming for me so I opted to not say anything about it instead and treated myself like a Vanilla.
Yeah I shot at you because of the two possible targets I had in MMM's big post, you seemed scummier to me than TT. In retrospect, definitely should have shot at Mills, haha.

Also i would rework some of the roles. You can't call it a one day mafia with all it's implications then shoe horn in a day cop.

I have no idea why the day cop investigated me either when Taste was a shoe-in to shoot me, especially after I asked him to.

Because I am bad at mafia, mostly.
