No. I refuse to accept that a minority of the game telling me that they're not going to play Mafia, they're going to let their special snowflake character do whatever he wants invalidates the fact that removing what looks like a 3P that is not acting from a town mentality is the right move.

This is my hill to die on; we're playing a game, not crafting fanfic. So play the game.

You're not playing mafia, either. You're jumping up and down demanding another player full claim. They aren't going to (Hmmmm, I wonder why someone wouldn't want to full claim Day 1?), so now instead of actually playing mafia you're trying to drum up a lynch on nothing. You say they aren't acting from a town mentality because they aren't going to claim to you? That's nuts. This is what we know about the role:

Asiina posted:

New people are welcome, but there is a very unusual, completely non-standard role in this game where the person will be required to play the game quite differently from a normal mafia game. It is not recommended for newer players or those looking for a more standard mafia experience.

They have a non-standard role. We have no idea if they are scum, town, 3p, not actually a player, or anything else. You're stretching, between the above saying Axe Cop is already acting non-town and this

Byers2142 posted:

No, my immediate reaction is to ask that person what's going on with their unusual role. Ignoring that question, though, suggests a malicious intent, which is worth a vote D1.

Yes, because there is no other reason a person wouldn't full claim on Day 1. Hey, question, what is your role again?

As for the Red Alert event I'm not sure who to send. I'll gladly go if people think it's dangerous but right now I'm gonna help send HiipFire because I want to ensure we don't miss out on the event - I feel the events will be beneficial and we want them to work out.

That said if you gently caress up HiipFire we're gonna lynch you ....

Wait, what? You're nominating him but then you're preemptively voting him in case he messes up? Why not wait until we see the results?

Serious comment.

Send me on the mission for the following reasons.

1. My role supports me going on this mossion because if the mission has negative effects they will likely be mitigated by my role.
2. If the mission involves any kind of choices I will present them to the thread before making any decisions.
3. Sending axe cop is a silly idea.

how?

I want everyone who said "Byers is scummy for freaking out and replacing" to own up and explain. How is that *scummy*? How does that make him more likely to be *scum*?

I'm on my phone (passed my exam!) but pretend everyone is getting called out not just chaos.

I meant it wasn't ideal for the game. On a personal level I didn't like to see that. Not indicative of alignment, just silly all around.

I really dislike your entire mentality - others have started being nervous about the Q role but you take it to a new level - you're railing on one of the confirmed flavors in the game for no real reason and then claiming if discussion progresses you're going to "afk out" and lurk on us?!

I worry about what happens when he isn't mod confirmed day 4, and then proceeds to spout a bunch of crap about how it was all a gimmick or something. I would really like to hope everyone turbo lynches him, but I really have my doubts. Especially when at that point, the scum want him alive (either because he is scum, or because he will cause a lot of confusion going forward).

We vote him, full stop. Why listen to excuses at that point? Why would you doubt that would happen?

EccoRaven posted:

Isn't this the second time you've asked someone to claim their flavor? :raise:

First. I asked Byers to full claim as part of a larger point of how he was being an idiot and I expected him to tell me no. I wasn't seriously expecting a claim from him then because it was a dumb idea.

In this case we have someone who has already claimed an action. If they don't want to claim their flavor that's fine, but if they're offering information I figure I might as well ask. So far it seems flavor and roles have been pretty tightly connected.

This a good point and something I forgot

Scientastic posted:

For reference, asking people to claim is quite scummy. There is no pro-town outcome of revealing people's roles this early in the game.

Thanks dad. For reference, I am suspicious of Taste so I was looking for something else to try to vet his claim. Asking him about his flavor seemed the best way to go since he was so willing to give out a part of if not his full power. If he didn't want to answer me he could have told me no.

Oh, also, Ecco, you've already gotten onto me a couple of times so I'm hesitant to ask, but hell, why not make it 3 for 3?

Did anything happen to you last night and if so how would you describe it? Don't even care if you go into detail, can be as simple as "good" or "bad" or "nothing happened". Or you can tell me to be quiet and I'll drop it. Thanks!

My mom watched it religiously when I was a kid so I never got around to watching it myself until just now. It's actually helped explain a lot about my mother (e.g. she genuinely and honestly thinks she's a Lorelai and wants me to be a Rory but neither of us are at all and it took her until I was well into my twenties to accept that).

But to answer your question no nothing happened to me in-game last night.

No read on Met or Runaktla, would be good if chaoslord and KFC could post more. Would be good if Scientastic and PMom could post less, their reads so far have been terrible but they strike me as town.

Yeah, I do need to post more. I'm just not a high volume poster to begin with and hate it when I have to "me too" all the time. Being on call this week for me has meant my ability to be around has been extremely unusual (bout to have to head in to work right now) so that just hasn't worked out well for me. I'm fully expecting to fall to the modkill, but I'll be in and out today and back tonight to see if I can crank out posts. Otherwise I'll claim the information I have (if any) close to deadline.

I'd like both Officers Taste and Lord to comment on whether they believe each other's claims.

Knowing that TT is also an alternating tracker/??? makes me skeptical again. I know Tracker isn't the strongest role in the world but it seems weird to have 2 on odd nights and then 0 on even nights to me when it would have been just as easy to have 1/1 if you were making two alternating roles. But setup speculation shouldn't be the end all/be all and Somber was SK so my skepticism is a minor personal detail and not really worth anything to the game at large IMO
