What usually happens with SA mafia is there's a period colloquially called Joke Phase, where people just jump in and shitpost for a bit and vote people are random.

At some point it turns into Serious Chat™ and the actual casing begins.

Joke Phase usually lasts, at most, around a day. As most D1s are 48-72 hours, depending on the type of game.

You can look up terminology that we'll be using whenever you get confused.
Alternatively just ask in thread like you've been doing and someone will hook you up.

I really don't like this though. There's usually very little collusion in scumdocs, as most players prefer to do their own thing.

Alleging that players are using specific keyword phrases strikes me as somebody trying to manufacture discontent rather than actually analysing the content.

"Hmmm but you don't know guys" isn't a read, and trying to nudge players towards a conclusion.

Would vote Toalpaz as scum.

I’m a bodyguard, it’s not the most protective role so you’re not losing too much, but like!!

Not sure what to make of this claim. As it feels like one step away from just claiming doc, and wanting to hedge their bets and be a bit 'safer' with the claim.

Admittedly that's :thunk: level analysis, and I'd probably err on not lynching a claimed protective role D1 (Until someone can check on them)

----------------------------------------

Deadbeat Dad posted:

##vote Sandwolf

I see what people are saying about Sandwolf upon re-read, but still don't think it's the strongest case. Lurker callout stuff was the weakest thing I saw, and I actually think his claim is pretty weak too. "I’m a bodyguard, it’s not the most protective role so you’re not losing too much!" -- I mean, if you are indeed town, losing a protective role sucks regardless. Seems like you're half resigned to being voted out but also kind of fighting not to be?

There's obviously nothing verifiable from it either, especially if he doesn't know when it's been used. Eh.

This is lovely reasoning talking themselves into a vote on Sandwolf.

"Yeah if you're town and we'd lose a protective roll that'd suck, still.. gonna vote you cause I didn't like the way you're defending yourself"

So now the question is are we looking at 2 scum teams, or a 3P+Scum scenario.

I'm hazarding a guess at 3P due to the JOAT.

I'm also of 2 minds on how to handle the marking, as we don't know what the gently caress it does.
If we can activate a mark somehow that would probably be beneficial info, but I'm not sure how to broach that scenario.

Inf, when you have the time can you tell me your thoughts on Kash

I am currently of 2 minds on Kash, but if asked on a position I would be leaning town slightly.
He has a brusque playstyle, but on a reread doesn't come across as particularly scummy to me at a gutread level.

I am also happy with my vote on yourself, but would also be OK with a Circlmastr vote.

The reason I am voting you is I did not like how you read tonally at the end of D1, and you were extremely apathetic about lynching a claimed protective role.

Moatillata posted:

I'm back and now fat and sassy

I would like to see hum or sandwolf die

Prefer sandwolf at this point but will switch to hum to avoid a NL

It comes across as "Just lynch someone, I don't care who", which to me reads as scum not caring who we lynch.
Town would be more interested in lynching correctly, regardless of the fact it was D1.

Would you have preferred we have lynched a claimed protective role D1?

Retro Futurist posted:

There's a big habit in this community of doing nothing all day, slowly building momentum on legitimate cases, and then all of a sudden a few hours to deadline there's a flurry of activity and everyone pivots to someone new, and it rarely works out.

Secondly, it tends to not be good to kill scum D1. I know that seems counterintuitive, but look at what we learned yesterday; not much. We have no history or solid interactions with hum to look at, whereas if Sandwolf died and flipped town at least we could look at the people voting him and catch a few there. That's also why I don't like the last minute switch, regardless of who it kills it throws out a solid day of work from everyone and at best puts us back at square one the next day.

While I 100% agree with you on hating the ever living gently caress out of waiting until 5min until deadline to hammer every single time, I think it's unfair to suggest there's no data to digest from the switch.

I'm currently voting Moat based on their interactions at the end of D1


Retro Futurist posted:

I also find it pretty hard to believe that we have three markers and none of them know how their power works, I'm ok with circl today to see a flip

As I said above I'd be ok with Circl for a flip, but I'd prefer Moat; which is where my casing is focused atm.
The reasoning as you've stated is where I'm at, and I feel out of the claimed Marker roles Circl pings my gut the hardest.

The marks being an unquantifiable factor isn't great news for town, and I feel one of them isn't revealing all of the info about the role.
