How did you vote a confirmed miller when mafia miller is strictly forbidden in normals?

I mean, I didn’t play great but I definitely would have nailed FL which is why he had to kill me, and I felt I did a good job of recognizing town Hawk when everyone else wanted him hung D1 just for claiming miller and I recognized town gamma and scum FL before I died.

Fitz is just salty i pushed through his lynch

Another game had me confused

Game was balanced fine

Miller is more of a named town than a negative utility imo.

What a game

Flavor leaf amazing

depends on context

w a cop, it's neg utility bc it's one fewer townie that can be cop cleared

w a rolecop, it's a definitive inno

wo those, it's really nothing (idk about all the "named townie" stuff... named townie has more of an IC element to it whereas a miller wo an investigative doesn't do anything and there's no good way to predict if the miller claim is real or not)

Miller claims D1.
Cop avoids miller and get other results.

If cop dies earlier, miller will work as a named town regardless, which is useful even if there's no rolecop.

Sure, scum can claim miller, but as much as scum can claim named town.

i get that...

cop has no definitive way of being able to tell if claimed miller is actually miller or scum fakeclaiming tho

therefore, claimed miller is out of the pool of "can be cop cleared"

Would you investigate someone who claims named town?

i guess i just thought "named townie" was always used as a flavor IC (if someone claims it and isn't CCed, they're conftown)

do ppl use named townie another way? that's kinda dumb

Some considered replacing IC with named town (there was a discussion about it).

if the setup info SAID there was a named townie and no one CCed, ofc not

if not, then... yeah

I've been named townie, 'tis a pretty lame role to rand

Which of my reads were bad Frogger?

My D1 Gamma scum read which I backed off of after closer review? Something you failed to do with me.
My D1 suspicions towards Creature?
My D1 Smocaine suspicions which you shared?

My D2 Flavor suspicions which you discounted as NAI?

My D3 Creature suspicions when you had him as town?

lol at your reads being any good. You did call FL scum. Considering you voted 10 of the players in this game (9 if we don't count you...but not once Flavor) yeah...you did great. Your D1 lovefest with "Mulchy" was a thing of beauty. Thankfully Anti's guilty on Mulch prevented you from "masoning" away the game with him...lol.

I admit it though...I am a bit snarky when I get a mislynch pushed on me in ~12 hours for sh*t reasoning from someone with blinders on throwing a shit fit in the game (aka tantrum) and repeatedly calling town f*cking idiots when they aren't getting their way. lol...so you got that snarky read spot on.

No hard feelings. It was a fun game while it lasted.

Also, @Two - I legit was just away from the game and wasn’t really caught up, so when you came in and pushed me, it made it easy for me to post and tunnel onto you the first few days.

And yeah, I kill off my threats when they don’t incriminate me. Transcend, Antihero, Frog, all we’re my immediate threats that would have pushed me. Two got townie, and it allowed me to kill there. Chara was the kill that was worrisome for me, but it worked out.

Also, I thought Antihero was our traitor. even after the guilty.

I also slipped hella hard in the neighborhood Day 2.

I love Fitz’s saltiness

Search box -> Normal

https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Normal_Game

Roles which are explicitly Normal for Town only include:
Vanilla Townie, Friendly Neighbor, Innocent Child, Mason,

Miller

, Vigilante, any roles listed as "for any alignment"

Search box -> Miller
https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Miller

For obvious reasons, standard Millers are Town.

Normal Guidelines
A Miller that knows they are a Miller and flips as such is considered Normal on mafiascum.net. A Miller returns a guilty result if investigated by a Cop, "Miller" if investigated by a Role Cop, and "non-Vanilla" to a Vanilla Cop. The Normal variant of Miller specifically only produces a false guilty to a Cop and Seer, so for example, a Gunsmith will see them as having no gun (unless they have a gun for some other reason).

wrt balance in traitor games...

That is definiteli NOT a lot for town.

Like, against the equivalent of a 3 goon team it's probably acceptable
But you have one strong role (gs - which scum can still BS around, and which will falsely clear the traitor and falsely guilty the rolecop), one situationally decent role (role cop can find two scum roles and verify the miller), a miller who's normally NU but can be cleared by rolecop (and GS? i admittedly forget on that one), and a neighborizer, which is completely useless most of the time.

Change gunsmtih to cop and you're probably fine here. Give town something small otherwise (even night doc?) and you're probably fine as well.

I'll explicitly take any and all comments wrt balance since it was my explicit suggestion on balance that was taken. I think in retrospect... balance was about correct. Scum outplayed town, but not massively so, and scum won. A gunsmith here would have been incredibly risky because it sets up a godfather (the traitor) who's completely unkillable by his faction, and can only be caught by the rolecop... and town didn't have enough power to justify that kind of "it probably won't happen, but if it DID happen then it's really bad news" outcome (and as it so happened, anti DID investigate mulch n1, so if he was a gunsmith instead of a cop, then town would have been in enormous trouble just on PR actions).
