[davesaz]

Mafia hangout for Pick your Poison.
Actions can be submitted here or via PM.

Welcome, Fishythefish, DeasVail, and sheepsaysmeep
The RNG has decided to make you:

Mafia Goon

Welcome, [Player Name]. You are a Mafia Goon, along with your partners [Player Name] and [Player Name].
Abilities:

Factional communication: During the day or night phase you may talk with your partners here [QuickTopic link].
Factional kill: Each night phase, one of you or your partners may perform the factional kill.
Before the game begins, you must choose which three of the following abilities to give to town:
Innocent Child
Tracker
1-shot Cop
Jailkeeper
2-shot Vigilante
Win condition:

You win when all members of the town have been eliminated or nothing can prevent this from occurring.

Please choose 3 roles for town. "Deadline" will be set to 48 hours, we can start as soon as choices are made and locked in by at least 2 of you.
Note I posted a V/LA through Sunday, if you pick before I go camping it will make main thread formatting easier, but it's not required -- you may take the whole 48 if you need it.

First

[DeasVail]

Hey dudes! I'm looking forward to rocking this game with you guys.

When it comes to picking our poison, I'm pretty easygoing when it comes to what we end up choosing.

My first thought would be something like innocent child, tracker, 2-shot vig. But hey, I haven't played much mafia in recent times and so I'd be keen to hear your thoughts.

[sheepsaysmeep]

Def like giving inno child

[Fishythefish]

I vote innocent child. Most other roles end up being practically confirmed innocent at some point anyway.

[DeasVail]

Any thoughts on the other two?

[sheepsaysmeep]

Tracker/vigi is meh because tracker can be mislead
Also we can claim cop as a stupid gambit and there won’t be ccs

[Fishythefish]

Agree with not giving cop. I'd say Jailkeeper/Tracker/Innocent Child. Vig is pretty strong - it's like giving the town extra lynches.

[DeasVail]

Let's go with

Jailkeeper/Tracker/Innocent Child

[sheepsaysmeep]

oh look we can daytalk <o/

[DeasVail]

Hey!

[Fishythefish]

This seems to be going pretty well. Elmo seems fairly unlikely to recover from this position. Looking at other people in the game for potential lynches:
- kelbris could be vulnerable; he posts quite wordily without saying much, which isn't going to inspire a lot of townreads.
- mutant is likely to rub some people up the wrong way with a different style. Hard to force this one while looking good, though.

My plan atm is to carry on prodding at Elmo in an investigative way, and quite possibly participate in a lynch there if it goes that way. I'm also planning to cultivate another scumread - maybe on kelbris, depending on how he responds.

When it comes to shooty time, I'd say we should look at the people leading the town - Transcend and Luca being the obvious ones- and shoot the one with the best reads.

[DeasVail]

Agreed!

I doubt that I’ll be pushing Mutant myself, but obviously have no issue with either of you doing it.

[sheepsaysmeep]

i will when im not procrastinating
that might not be for a long time

[sheepsaysmeep]

:/
im just going to sit back and watch town kill themself
and probably get vigged

[DeasVail]

they’re a bit of a mess right now

[DeasVail]

Hey sheep, don't worry too much about my vote on you. I don't intend on keeping it there for too long.

Considering the events of the game so far, I feel it makes sense for me to go in that direction, especially considering my misread of your post. I felt that me just ignoring you after that would be sus.

[sheepsaysmeep]

just lurking rn :/

[sheepsaysmeep]

hi
wagon on trans is the 3 of us
is that bad :/

[sheepsaysmeep]

huh
trans is jk
see how this unfolds
hoping ppl dont hop on boring cause boring's reads are like flipped

[Fishythefish]

No particular reason three of us on a wagon is bad. My only worry is that it draws Transcend onto one of us.

[Fishythefish]

Yeah - I was hoping to keep boring around because he's so very wrong, but I struggled to see where else I could vote and look OK.

One note on Transcend's claim: it would be quite a clever town gambit claim. The real JK (if they are sharp) could keep quiet protect Transcend tonight, confirming him. So we might want to avoid shooting Transcend N1.

[DeasVail]

No particular reason three of us on a wagon is bad. My only worry is that it draws Transcend onto one of us.

Agreed. If anything people tend to assume that it won’t be all scum.

I also agree with not killing Transcend

[sheepsaysmeep]

sent a replacement request like a day ago btw dont think dave has seen it yet
good luck

[Fishythefish]

Good work.

Yuria is the obvious kill, as claimed JK. Both the tracker and Yuria will be trying to hit the killer. They are unlikely to target me, as everyone seems to think I'm town - OTOH, it's worse if I

do

get caught for the same reason. Any opinions on who does the kill?

Pedit: oh, that's a shame.
