I disagree with a mass claim day 1. All pr doesn't mean that it's useless to keep some prs secret. I'd be willing to use ice's idea for having gunsmiths (roll dice privately and only 1's equal pick GS and 6 being reroll). One or two GS can go through and give a lot of clears, but making them claim pretty much means they die quickly if true. I'd rather let any possible GS's have two nights worth of investigating before having to claim.
I'm not sure what to do with the other roles. Mafia's likely to make a ninja do all kills (and take one or more ninjas) so until that's lynched trackers won't really learn anything. Coroner while useful having more then 3 just means repeated info. 2 coroners (2 simply if one dies early) is also enough. Voyeur I have no clue how that role is supposed to be used well in this set up.-

I still don't see how it's actually useful. Trackers see town actions for the most part. So what they report verifies a town pr claim but considering it can be from scum it's not useful. Coroner can't report anything useful on day 1. Voyeur actually thinking on it may be most useful for knowing if a player was targeted by a crooked cop. GS does help but it means outing them. That covers what claiming mostly does and I don't see that as being worth outing all the GS day 1.-

I could actually see that being plausible. Would have to run some numbers but it sounds fine. It essentially makes crooked cops useless. Although I have a feeling bus drivers/redirectors could really screw that up. Role blocker is also very weak with that plan (only way to block and not be tracked blocking is kill the tracker on you). Ninjas will only slightly dodge it (since only one sends in a kill).
P-edit: Benefit is really harming multiple mafia roles and making a lot of GS's as being plausible.-

Well it depends what number of GS is ideal. If those 5 can't be GS that leaves players. If you want 3 to be gs pick a random number from a rng between 1-8 with the first three numbers being choose gs. That would allow independent picking and also make a high chance of not having more then 4 gs.
I'd be fine with a few gs, and then a lot of trackers/voyeurs or all gs/tracker for planning. If it's a few gs then pick a number between 1-8:
1-3: GS
4-6: Voyeur
7-8: Tracker
Then for the five players MOI doesn't want as GS:
1-2: Voyeur
3-5: Tracker
6-8: Coroner
That would make a set up that doesn't really rely too much on any one role making countering a lot more difficult. If I had to estimate on average this would produce: 3 GS, about 4 voyeur, about 4 trackers, and about 2 coroners. The amount of reasonable variation in it could produce something like 4 gs, 2 trackers, 6 voyeurs, 2 coroners, etc.-

If the numbers go out of the chi square value then we'll know some rigging went on. 6 gs is near impossible by percentages so if scum actually try to claim gs a lot then it can make the gs place a pool to lynch from. They can still pick gs on purpose to a more moderate extent, but isn't that mostly the same normally. If everyone just picks the reasons like going to be I expected not that many to pick gs since people repeatedly said only a few need to, or I like gs. I don't think the reason for picking a role is likely to help a lot.-

I actually marked MoI as town from this:
In post 66, MagnaofIllusion wrote:I ask that all the following players agree NOT to be Gunsmiths – Nuwen, Primate, MoI, CDB, Amrun
It pretty much blocked him off from ever saying the GS was wrong. That and the way he wanted to do a mass claim of roles then results looks town.-

I didn't mention it before, but beyond looking at actions voyeur can really help with identifying the whole scum team roles. And bus drivers/role blockers can not target themselves (so anyone role blocked or bus driven is town if those are the only two possible scum roles alive although until we lynch some scum that's not very helpful to know).
Plus GS guilties/innocents, and one player saying another is lying can help eliminate possible things.-

For the moment, we can assume that the Gunsmith is town. If he is town, he will either die soon or give a valuable result. If this is not the case, he is either scum or really unlucky.

Can you clarify this guille? It just felt like you thought I'd be role blocked before I said anything.-

Same reason as before (perhaps minor, but I believe it's genuine) I still think moi is town and a lot of the I said two people at the end claim first thing just got into a fight over a minor thing. Guille I trust less for the comment.
VOTE: Guille
And for normal policy should the person role blocked say who they targeted anyway?-

It's not useless, since it can still help in reads (along with hearing why you chose who you did). Right now I think amrun, moi, klazam (through amrun) and you are town. With 4 scum out of the other 7 only three are town. I want to popcorn all the reports along with reasons why you chose each role/target (don't really like the order we used though and to start off I'd like guille's report).-

I'll parrot moi, but why track me if nuwen is town? Nextly explain the logic the motive for Moi to claim a guilty that quick and early as scum when if scum he could have done that later on or just pushed normally?
I realize it's not a 100 percent guilty, but combining PoE and the fact nuwen was tracked to me makes me think it's pretty likely to be correct.-

I'm making up a number for the 50 percent and that should be fairly easy to see. At the very least she has over a 33 percent chance (which is the base chance for any player) day 1 based on the report. What the exact number is can be debated but I do think it is over 50 percent (go check every tracker guilty in every role madness game and I'd expect at least 50 percent to be true). If you're referring to the part Moi could have been lying, well I had him as a town read and the claim feels more likely to come from town then scum there so I trusted that.
Few mislynches when on the first lynch is not a great excuse to be really cautious with lynching (without any guilties how ido you plan to lynch, just be super careful and spend days debating minor details on a scum read since there is last chances to make mistakes).
P-edit: Robo explain your syndrome read more.-

If you need town meta on klazam try looking at micro 5. I think it's one of his most recently finished town games. Admittingly his play is different (there he was a lot more active and tended to try to lead more and ended being town leader in later days), but right now my town read on amrun makes him a bit more likely town (I'd think redirecting another player at themselves could work like a pseudo role block and I'd have expected it to be used on town).
Opinion on nuwen is the same (she still needs rope and it's really based on role stuff).
P-edit: Nuwen I'll add if that plan sucked you could have easily spoken against it more during the pre-game (you mentioned once then and could also have picked gs yourself if you hated the idea) vs wait til now to add something to your scum read of him.-

My town read on Amrun is really just based on tone and the timing of her posts (in the sense that she just usually posts whenever something is happening vs waiting and tries to lead in a sense there).
Syndrome I'm mostly putting away for A. more likely scum targets first and B. I just agree with a lot of his reads even though he is really parroting me now. The strangest thing in syndrome's play is siding with moi over nuwen when he had nuwen as town and moi as scum before without really transitioning that.
Currently I would want report claim order to go (people who've already claimed or are day coroners aren't on this list):
Guille
Ice
Primate
Syndrome
Klazam
quadz
MoI-

Don't have time to say a lot but for the ninja aspect remember a voyeur can target a player and see what happened to them the night before. Not sure on it, but if voyeurs can target the dead having one voyeur target cdb and see what happened to him N0 would be nice to check for whether or not we have a ninja.-

VOTE: Ice
Of that PoE he's the one I'd like to vote most. Guille can not be a redirector or bus driver unless ice is scum (which leaves only one scum role for guille to possibly be which just makes him less likely and if ice flips town then until the at least one of the redirector/bus driver dies guille should live). Coron's recent posts are really just gut slight town. Primate and ice are about equal right now (ice being tipped based on the guille connection so ice town equals 2/3 clear for guille).-

There's a reason I said I wanted to lynch Ice (info wise it mostly clears guille or gets us a scum lynch). Writing down all the possible scum roles a player could be is going to be useful.
Really guille can not be redirector or bus driver unless ice is lying. The other scum roles that are not tracked are ninjas and encryptor. Both of those roles make little sense for scum guille (the first should go to the most tracked player while the other belongs to the guy who lives longest). It's really why I can't see guille as likely scum at all if ice is town.
Confirming a bus driver exists would be nice. Only one player noticed it so a voyeur checking amrun or works (just don't all target amrun/coron).
Amrun and klazam both scum I'll agree is strange (I still don't think really think amrun is scum in the first place though).-

Amrun is really just a gut town read I have (I'll look over later when I'm home to explain a bit more, but it was originally just a tone thing).
On the other hand I am willing to agree with a primate lynch. He exists, but lacks any true presence (not sure how else to word that). Generally when he posts it's on more minor things vs arguing a lot.

This night kill argument is idiotic unless you really want to propose good players aren't allowed to live past n1/0 (in fact I've played games as scum where the reason not to kill someone n0/1 was they die too much already).
Amrun explain your coron read. You only called him scum based on something you later made a null tell.
In fact you've also contradicted yourself with klazam somewhat (well you did say conflicted, but still):
In post 341, Amrun wrote:I just realized my wording is confusing in the above. Klazam was a pre-game scumread, but now I believe he's likely town because of the result. I'm still in the fence on how likely it is for the scumteam to target one of their own with a redirect on N1; they could have been scared of a gunsmith, but they could also have been trying to frame a townie. Bleh. For now, I'm going with town purely because of the result, but based on in-thread, he still reads scummy.
Nextly looking back why do you even suspect klazam? You never explained the scum read at all.-

SERIOUSLY? You REALLY haven't figured out it's because I saw a redirector visit him? What?
Yes when you still have him as one of your three scum reads. Whether he's town, scum, or null it'd be nice if you picked a stance vs just being unsure what your own opinion on him is.-

Overall is what I'm really wanting read wise on him. Right now you've much said both for different elements (and every town can have a scum case built on them and vice versa so overall reads help more then listing everything scummy and pro town he's done if it doesn't decide it or just put him as null).
@quadz, well when a player's died like half of their games on a site with only night starts it might not be the best move I've personally agreed to it fine to let them live past n0. Another one is a player's meta (off site again) for always being scum if alive day 4 or so. There's plenty of reasons to choose someone else (beyond the wifom depending on why scum want specific targets). Considering moi wasn't even a shining beacon of town at the beginning of this day it's not like leaving him alive is necessarily bad.-

Well I'm most likely to die based on role so having one voyeur on me would be nice (I mostly want to see if a ninja exists or not).
That and I don't want the trackers all targeting the same person (or just having multiple trackers on one player). Trying to get each to be one different player would be best. We have 4 trackers alive with 11 (soon to be 10) players alive. Having each tracker be required to target one of two people would work fine (that would cover 8 people and while me, moi, and robo aren't clear I really doubt moi or robo are scum so I don't want them tracked).-

MoI being scum requires him to have bussed twice on day 1 (assuming amrun is scum and I think she is). MoI scum is very unlikely. The theory of him being scum relies on the fact he didn't die n0 and wasn't targeted by any scum roles. At the same time he was the one who made the plan of specific people not being gs so the mafia could have much more easily just not targeted him since he wasn't going to be a gs.-

I want to claim my result last and we should mass claim reports again (by popcorn). I now think guille is town (based entirely on how ice town mostly clears guille and with only two mafia left the mafia team would have to guille/ice for him to be scum). Syndrome was one of the very early votes on amrun in a place (one mafia already dead on day 1) where scum would not want to deal with a bus. Robo is just town for tone/actions towards scum/etc. All three I'd rather have go near the end (although since it's popcorn if someone suspects them a lot they could go earlier).-

Robo messing up even more actions is a benefit. While I can agree bus driver/redirector is a bit redundant that is not bad. 2 cops causes the power to increase a lot vs 1 cop and I see that to be a bit similar (plus with the two flipped it seems like they focused on messing up actions).
And if a bus driver is slim that'd make primate lying (I doubt he was redirected since if he was klazam would be scum by fact that saying player x is redirected when they're not is easy for that person to cc). I don't particularly suspect him honestly.
And while spec is fun, one of the non robo, syndrome, guille, me people needs to start mass claim. I just dislike long mass claims.-
