Mafia Topic for Mini 1679

[Cheetory6]

Hello hello to the scumteam of Mainez, notquitethere and Hydrangea! Hope you're all as excited as I am
You may talk here until daystart.
Between the three of you, you have three safe flavour claims in:
i) Dallas Genoard
ii) Isaac Dian
iii) Mary Beriam

Good luck!

[Hydrangea]

hello everyone nice to be playing with you. I am still a relatively new player. I have played as scum before but if you have any tips for me I will definitely take them on board

[notquitethere]

Hello all! I'm looking forward to this!

We should share our roles with one another so we know what each other can do.

I'm a White Suit Henchman-- superinformed (we know that some players are immortal), and an enabler (if I die a town role will be deactivated).

Out of the ten other players some are immortal, but my guess is that there's probably not more than 5 or 6 of them, because we need to be the majority and we can only superkill one player (so immortals have to be lynched to die). That said, there's likely other factors which complicate this.

[Mainez]

hi all, looking forward to this too!
i'm a perma-commuter so basically, every night, no one can do anything to me and i can't do anything too. that means that kills are gonna come from you two.

[Mainez]

to clarify, my role means that i'm ineligible to be targeted by night actions

[notquitethere]

Cool, and what's your character name then?

[Mainez]

i'm lua klein

by the way i've only watched the first episode of this anime after signing up heh but it looks pretty cool

is your role basically an enabler? what's this superinformed superkill stuff?

[notquitethere]

I'm an enabler, but for town (so town loses an advantage if I die). As a team we're 'super-informed' in that we know immortals exist. By 'super kill' I just meant, once in the game we can have our kill work on immortals.

I'm guessing if you're Lua then Hydrangia is Ladd Russo.

[notquitethere]

Also, you should definitely watch the rest of Baccano!, it's a great series and not too long.

[Mainez]

apparently he's my lover ha

[Hydrangea]

yes watch it, it is sosososo good. That being said I am still in the process of finishing it... and now im hurrying like mad to watch it so that this game doesnt spoil the ending for me

[Hydrangea]

ok so I am Ladd Russo, mafia supermacho roleblocker

[Hydrangea]

incase your wondering what a supermacho is:

Your roleblock will bypass most
other abilities in the game.
If you make the nightkill, you
will inherently roleblock the
person you try to kill, preventing
them from using a night action
even if they survive.

So I am a strong roleblocker

[Hydrangea]

have you guys played as mafia before? (apart from any ongoing games of course)

[notquitethere]

Yeah I've been mafia a whole bunch of times, with generally good success. We need to stay active, develop reasonable suspicions and ve prepared to fake flavor claim if there's a mass claim.

If it comes to it, either we should should stick to fake claiming the same gender, or we should claim the character most similiar to our real character. If the latter:

Lua's permanent-commuting makes her a lot like Dallas Genoard for spoilery reasons.

Ladd Russo's blocking could be claimed as Isaac Dian infectious and irrepressible personality/thievery

Mary Beriam could be a town enabler as she's a valuable hostage but powerless on her own.

[Cheetory6]

11/13 have confirmed!
Will give you guys another hour to chat if you'd like and then I'm starting things up.
Just as a heads up.

[notquitethere]

A few last things:

The setting might imply a hostile 3rd party. There could be a Rail Tracer serial killer. There's certainly either Szilard or the devil to grant new immortality.

[Cheetory6]

Locked for Day One.

[Cheetory6]

Unlocked for Night One!

[West9]

Hi! I'm West.

[West9]

So, Johnny's confirmed immortal, right? That's cool.
Not sure how to feel about StatusQuo's claim. Might be true, but he might be an informed baiting a shot.
I believe Ari's claim. He'd be a safe kill if we don't want to risk hitting an immortal.
Beer's probably immortal? Makes enough sense.
I'm also pretty sure that BRO is immortal. He was the first one who used the term, while everyone else was saying "bulletproof."
Bit nervous about how blatant Varsoon's roleblock-bait was.

[Mainez]

we are in pretty bad shape cause we were all on the wagon

[Mainez]

i'll up my game in d2, apologies.

any strategies?

[notquitethere]

Here's my notes:

Kill List

Mikazuki (had a strong scumread on Hydra / 2nd most active player / no one suspects her)

ToastyToast - (Attacked TSQ over claim, slightly indicating Toast isn't Immortal - says he wouldn't have bothered investigating Aristo at night, implying he has an investigative role)

Kalimar - (is no one's target and suspects West)

JohnnyFarrar (most active player/spotted a Mainez/West connection, his early Aristo attack might suggest trusting TSQ's claim which might in turn suggests he himself is a town immortal)

Varsoon (Domino) (Domino trusted TSQ's claim, which might imply they're also immortal. Says he'll be able to check whether claims are telling the truth so may have a kill or an investigate)

Aristophanes - Claimed Ascetic (safe to kill, but not a dangerous role for us)
Beer - Implied Immortal
BROseidon - Implied Immortal
Jazzmyn (Thestatusquo) - Claimed Immortal

If we want to kill the most dangerous player, we should kill Mika. There's a fair chance she's not immortal.

Although he'd be safe to kill, we should keep Aristo alive: he'll draw heat and he's always a safe kill later on.

We should block Toasty or Varsoon as they've hinted at having active investigatory night roles.

[notquitethere]

And, yeah, it looks like I was right in think Johnny was immortal. He might draw some heat today. I think we can probably get Broseidon killed.

Our big problem is that all of us are suspected by a number of different players. We need to keep West alive as he's the most useful. If Mainez is the only scum left we can't nightkill. Basically we should all up our game: be active and inquisitive.

Strategy-wise, if any of us are in serious danger of being lynched we should use the following claims:

I'm going to claim Mary Beriam. I already breadcrumbed the name in my first post of the game. I'll claim to be an enabler of either town or scum. That should give people pause before lynching me.

There's no need for either of you to lie about your powers when we come to a mass-claim, just have good sounding reasons for blocking the people you block. Toasty is a good block pick for now, Varsoon was a bit too blatant on reflection.
