In post 16, AniX wrote: I want to remind everyone the last time I played forum mafia (I want to say 2004? early 2005?) I think only Dragon was on the site and one or more of you might not even have been born so please cut me some slack when I eventually lose the game for the town. I am effectively a newbie and since I just shuttered the newbie queue and fired the newbie mod, I really am rudderless right now.
Anyway, I kind of want to vote Save the Dragons, I really want to be able to say "I haven't played since before any living player joined". Can we make that happen?

First, we ignore literally every mechpost, because mechposts have nothing to do with alignment, but rather mechanical intelligence, and mechanical intelligence is not AI. Second, we realize that AniX comes from a time when the Earth had yet to cool and the atmosphere was still mostly sulfur, and so their posting also needs to be viewed through that lens where post restrictions and mechsolves are common place and that's just how town is supposed to approach the game. Third, we ask ourselves "Does scum really fake a readslist with two players who haven't posted surrounding a player who has if they're tryharding". Fourth we realize that if we look tryhard up in the dictionary there's a picture of AniX staring at a picture of Taylor Swift.In post 262, camelCasedSnivy wrote: how is anix obvtown either
Ani is crazy performative here, but that's more because it's Ani than any actually alignment indicative thing and Koba pushing the slot as surface level is actually skeevy as fuck.
This is true, post restrictions were more commonplace in 2005. There was some crazy ones in games I played back then (and faked ones) but I've only seen one in my games this year and it was optional to activate a night ability."Yeah after a point it felt like Aureal was the only one talking sense despite being a goose so I just followed."

I agree with this in principle. But I'm more wary of Nurse specifically, because he was in that Strange Dreams game too for a while, and a lot of his posts were basically like this. It turned out to be a scum slot."Yeah after a point it felt like Aureal was the only one talking sense despite being a goose so I just followed."

Really Cook, you too? You're the one who gave Alisae the prompt she needed in order to get what I was saying about the red PMs. You got the joke, you don't find it at all weird that Alisae didn't? Despite supposedly also having a red PM?
Like, how tf does a TOWNIE with a red PM not remember that fact because it should've triggered some confusion. A Mafia, on the other hand, wouldn't see anything strange and probably wouldn't even register that town can get red PMs until someone points it out.
Maybe Alisae just gets a lot of weird PMs and it didn't register. But it's pretty suspicious."Yeah after a point it felt like Aureal was the only one talking sense despite being a goose so I just followed."

I'm finding it really sus how a bunch of people are just refusing to talk about the color of their PM on principle like this. This talk been happening since like page two, people! Neither the mod nor our SITE ADMINISTRATOR have said a peep to indicate any issue with describing a color that the mod may or may not have used. Describing the color of a PM is common talk, do you want me to go link someone using 'red PM' as slang for Mafia or something?!In post 925, camelCasedSnivy wrote: im gonna avoid talking about role pms just in case of rules"Yeah after a point it felt like Aureal was the only one talking sense despite being a goose so I just followed."

I feel much better about my ability to read you than you do, which is why I haven't actually pressed the slip that much. I'm willing to watch what you do and read you from that.

It's a direct response to Alisae discrediting my ability to read her play. Seeing a scumslip is not a read on her play. Whereas saying that Alisae responding by discrediting my ability to read her makes her more likely scum is a read on her play.In post 1051, Bingle wrote:

Well I guess it could tell us 'ok looks like we're dealing with a Godfather Janitor' or whatever, but without your role which can apparently confirm Koba was actually town it doesn't even do that.
BTW your power doesn't count as a night action even if you use it at night, right? It wouldn't be blocked if you were unable to use a night action?"Yeah after a point it felt like Aureal was the only one talking sense despite being a goose so I just followed."

You're not concerned with Dragoneater totally blowing off claiming while also trying to say he's not waiting for anything? Because I darn well have been waiting for it, so if he's actually just outright refusing to participate in the mass claim he bloody well needs to say so.In post 1544, Bingle wrote: I just saw that I’m voting dragoneater and don’t at all remember why.

I quite disagree with that assessment of Dragoneater. His overall manner is rather mixed and I've taken note of a couple things that stuck out as rather scummy in addition to this whole dragging out claiming to hound Ranger instead thing.In post 1554, DkKoba wrote: I'm not concerned with de claiming bc he's newer and also transparently towny
The deflection is scummy af
I don't really give a crap what you think about my 'deflection'. I've already claimed like half of it to AniX in the neighborhood I opened earlier through that interaction in the thread. Guess nobody noticed that they slipped and said my role was related to MLM even though I just gave them a generic sales pitch about food.
It's hilarious(ly infuriating) how DE complained about wanting a neighborhood with Ranger because of whatever he's going on about. Guess what, we can give it to him with my role! I sell Amway, so everyone who accepts my offer to join Amway once I open a neighborhood with them gets a copy of all my abilities, which are obviously based on the amount of people in the chain of my recruits.
I haven't bothered doing a lot of spec on exactly what to do since I know the mechheads are gonna twink, but it clearly seems Bingle's lack of ability to modify his role is confirmable through use of this. Someone just needs to get him to join Amway then he uses a recruitment phrase on another nonAmway person, and if no neighborhood forms that should confirm it to the would be recruit. And the person who 'recruited' Bingle probably doesn't get credit for him either, though that's maybe kinda grey.
Anyone who accepts the Amway abilities gets the whole set, so everyone except Bingle can a have a neighborhood with whomever they want if they take it (and he should still be neighborizeable so he isn't totally left out), now that this is in the open so people darn well know what's up when someone gives them a sales pitch they need to react to for it. They'll get the Amway night actions instead of whatever their actions were, but it seems we have little in the way of useful night actions anyway. (Hence my asking Theta whether that would be a night action)
So, if you all got to pick, who would you want or not want to become a vig?

But if you're seriously concerned about something like this, if we're going to pass my role around like candy like would be the most hilarious use, then there will be plenty of people who can stop me with the roleblocks and vigs that I give out.

I find it really disappointing that our mechheads' response to my ridiculously powerful role is just "wow, scummy". No attempts to think through how to use it. I thought the ability to give a bunch of people neighborhoods and vigilante powers seemed pretty obviously something that would come from town, unless you think it's some sort of cult. We could know exactly what abilities basically everyone in the game has available at night, reducing the possibilities of who's resposible if there's say, a suspicious roleblock. Or, y'know, we could literallyend this game on Day 2with proper use of the role and good reads."Yeah after a point it felt like Aureal was the only one talking sense despite being a goose so I just followed."

I don't think it really is vanillaizer, you should still have your role and any passive attributes or day actions. You just can't use its night actions, unless you get out of Amway, which is a night action that'll cost you your vote the next day (so it'll be pretty obvious if someone does it).In post 1616, Theta Alpine wrote: it is a partial vanillaizer+neighborizer but it gives you abilities based on how many times you use the ability
plus also it gives people hit with the ability a copy of the ability
at least if i understand correctly
Like, do you guys not understand what multi-level marketing is? If I recruit Theta right now, Theta can go recruit Koba, who can recruit DE, who can recruit Ranger, etc. etc. etc. all the way through the playerlist. All of you will be in my chain of recruits which will unlock new abilities for me at the appropriate numbers. Everyone after Theta will be in her chain, and she'll get those abilities as well after just one more recruit than me, since she's my recruit so I have one more. Koba will get those abilities with two more recruits in the chain than I have. And so on.
It can do two neighborhoods a day, so we have basically infinite options here- we can have people split their chains if we want to dilute the access to power rather than one long unbroken one."Yeah after a point it felt like Aureal was the only one talking sense despite being a goose so I just followed."

So you try to push that I'm scum for my role and then call it a scumclaim when I think otherwise. Wow. Okay. I was starting to think maybe you weren't actually scum, but you're really trying to make the case that your scumflip will be a real scumflip and not this 'death miller' thing, aren't you?In post 1631, DkKoba wrote: aureal trying to push they are town for role is like one of those classic role madness scumclaims lol. not that im ever gonna use that as a sole reason but the more they push it the more i just wanna tunnel harder"Yeah after a point it felt like Aureal was the only one talking sense despite being a goose so I just followed."

It just says people get a copy of all my abilities, so I assume everything in the original role still exists, you're just blocked from using other night actions while in Amway. I assume people would still flip as their original role, maybe with the Amway abilities added on? I guess I could ask the mod, if people want to know.In post 1625, Theta Alpine wrote: i mean you did not mention a way to regain the abilities so i assumed vanillaizer"Yeah after a point it felt like Aureal was the only one talking sense despite being a goose so I just followed."

Ooooh, you think the Desperate would apply to powers given to you, not just the ability you already have?
This is hurting my head to think about, lol. The neighborhood is automatically created on anyone when you do the appropriate interactions with them so long as they're not already an Amway consultant (though xyzzy did say it'd be a good idea to send a PM to point out the interaction so they don't miss it) so a failure of the neighborhood to form after you're sure the mod knows would indicate that it's been blocked somehow. And so far as I can tell that wouldn't even be blocked on Bingle, he just wouldn't be able to accept the actual abilities. So I guess it could be an investigation if it works like that, though it feels like it shouldn't."Yeah after a point it felt like Aureal was the only one talking sense despite being a goose so I just followed."

I'd be most concerned that you're going to get killed before being able to do this, with this spread across multiple days. Ranger's thing would remove your modifier for one day or something? I guess you'd need to make sure it's surpressing the Desperate during the day tomorrow and not just at night (I haven't gone back to read exactly what she said about it). So you'd only be able to open a neighborhood to recruit scum today, and they probably wouldn't comply and take the abilities to pass it along to town after being caught out by a failed neighborhood, lol. (I thought of something else of possible concern but shouldn't say it here, remind me about it privately if we end up going this route). So you'd need to hit town with it tomorrow to get a proper chain, yeah. The vig is available at a chain of 10 recruits fyi (dead people still count) so you'd definitely need town to cooperate with you then.In post 1648, Theta Alpine wrote:

desperate is not tied specifically to my original ability so it would apply to any inventions or new abilities given to me as well
we would probably want ranger to hit me with their ability so i can start getting a town recruit chain of my own
then future usages would have desperate so i can use it as a cop
then once enough power for vig
well
desperate vig is a little bit powerful
Although I guess if you get killed, Drew gets your role if his claim is true (and I'm not sure it is). So there would still be one day's worth of potential Desperate neighborizing attempts from him, but that wouldn't even be able to prove his backup claim.
I think I need to eat dinner and get my head out of the weeds now. x_x"Yeah after a point it felt like Aureal was the only one talking sense despite being a goose so I just followed."

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking, that Bingle is probably same grouping of roles as mine. How many people are going to make a "can't receive new abilities" role without including any roles that can give new abilities?In post 1731, Theta Alpine wrote: oddly enough i think aureal might actually fit into that grouping given the interaction with bingle"Yeah after a point it felt like Aureal was the only one talking sense despite being a goose so I just followed."

Well excuse me for having a complicated long-ass role and not immediately talking about every tiny detail regardless of interest! I said to ask if you had any questions and instead I get shit. I don't even remember all the details and there's things I forget until I look back at the PM again.In post 1756, Bingle wrote: For now, aureal has NOT full claimed.
1 to send a messageWe still need number of followers to trigger every individual role,
3 to neighborhood
6 to roleblock and open a neighborhood and autorecruit (same target)
10 to vig and recruit
Is it really so hard to ASK about what you wanna know instead of getting accusatory?
whether role chains are recursive,
What?
IT'S A FUCKING PUBLIC ACTIONwhether aureal gets to know who has access to each individual’s list of powers.
Do you think I and anyone else who's seen the text needed to open a neighborhood is going to just NOT NOTICE when someone starts spouting off about securing their family's future in the game thread?!? And now that it's all out it's going to be mostly obvious to everyone else too! We'll know the number of recruits we have (I assume xyzzy will say something at night about it, they said they're keeping track). It's not entirely a sure thing that someone accepts the offer once a neighborhood is formed but it's easy to tell when they do the neighborhood, and anyone in the chain above will have their recruit total increase in case of a successful recruit so it shouldn't be that freaking hard to figure!
Not EVERYONE, they can't all have 10 recruits. It'd be up to 7 including me because there's 17 people. Gosh, that math was hard.The role itself has the very distinct characteristic of not benefiting at all from being last claimed, yet aureal was very concerned with going early because claiming after everyone would break the game. In the strongest case, aureal has a role that functionally turns this game into everyone is a vig.
And are you trying to say this role cannot break the game and also that there can be a whole bunch of vigs in the same breath??! You don't think having a bunch of vigs breaks the game??
I ALREADY FREAKING EXPLAINED HOW TO CONFIRM YOU WITH ITAureal slipped on part of her role that’s being withheld when talking about me. She mentioned that her role could confirm my role, but prima fasci it does not do that. If I were lying about my role and aureal’s was as claimed, the only thing I’d have to do to not be caught would be not use any visible powers. That tells me there is a significant portion of aureal’s claim that isn’t being said. Based on my role that could be an alignment change mechanic (recruit five people, join scumteam) or a compulsive modifier.
IF YOU DON'T THINK THAT WORKS THEN EXPLAIN WHY
SAYING "OH I CAN JUST REFUSE TO CONFIRM MY ROLE" IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE EXPLANATION BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IF WE WANT YOU TO CONFIRM IT AND YOU REFUSE YOU GET HELD ACCOUNTABLE
You're really intent on coming up with any sort of way to discredit me and get rid of this power rather than evaluate its potential use, aren't you?? Criticizing perceived attitude rather than the role is a bad look. It's like you didn't even read my attitude, either, since you're wrong.Even then, Aureal doesn’t show any paranoia about scum getting access to vig shots. Vig shots, which I very well believe have utility only in situations where they are known or reasonably certain to be coming from town.
Insert handwaved paranoia because of some other game with no explanation of it or how that could even be relevant in this situation hereTl;dr, this is probably a Sakura Hana from RC’s UPick type deal where the role is all about scum convincing town to trust them and then profiting.
AniX should accept the power up and claim the information they get, but no one else should accept a power up from either player aorn.
Bud, you can fucking flip me after getting these abilities out there, with my own powers that I could give people no less, to make sure I don't have some secret role. But instead you're suggesting that AniX should be barred from using their own abilities without gaining anything from mine and then undoubtedly gets killed before being able to start making use of the Amway powers. Obviously someone without night actions is going to be the ideal place to start up with this, not someone who's going to miss out on stuff.
I expected a lot more from you guys. There's no attempt to evaluate the risks and benefits of these abilities. There is only the desire to squelch them. It's hard to see that not coming from scum."Yeah after a point it felt like Aureal was the only one talking sense despite being a goose so I just followed."

Okay, I am trying to not be tilted by what still seems to be pretty bad faith responses. I wrote my claim post up on my phone, while having my lunch break. Obviously it's not going to be the most organized and well-constructed explanation in those circumstances. I was focusing on getting it out there with what I felt was the most important stuff, so that people could start workshopping what to do with it. I expected people to listen to me when I suggested thinking about who would be good to give this power to- this is what I expected people to do, not launch a major discrediting campaign against me. So here I am now, having waited all day to respond to anything else so that I could sit down and do it in a more structured manner.
