[Flavor Leaf]

two years in a row DEB and I are scum together in Team Mafia.

[Thestatusquo]

Whatup lads.

[Thestatusquo]

I appear to be a goon, though that isn't spelled out specifically in my PM. I am Tanjiro Kamado with no special abilities. Don't know anything about anime and I don't see a fake claim so I'm assuming this is a safe character name to claim if I ever have to do so.

Do we have any power?

I'm planning on playing this game super aggressively.

[Thestatusquo]

Confirmed there are no ties between flavor and alignment.

[Thestatusquo]

Mistyx - Quick Attack
Iconeum - Class of 2175
TheGoldenParadox - Mask Your Worries
Nancy Drew 39 - Suicide Squad
Pine - Whatever Farm Animal of War
Ramcius - The Fakeclaim Processing Department
NorwegianboyEE - All your Scummies belong to us
zoraster - Maybe the Real Mods...
BBMolla - Half a Good Team Plus Two
Akarin - Perfect Grammar

It's been a while since I've played a ton on this site so I don't really have a lot of experience with any of these players. The only ones I have significant knowledge of are BBmolla who I remember as fairly earnest and pretty easy to pocket, a player who plays emotionally and is better to support down the wrong path than he is to push, and Akarin, who in my last game modded was very easy to push down the wrong path with mech talk and setup spec.

I would appreciate a bit of a one or two sentence on each player that people might have knowledge of so I can plan my pushes and plays accordingly.

[Flavor Leaf]

DEB and I both knew BBmolla in real life before coming to the site, and I lived on DEB's couch for a while, so this is an interesting rand.

I'm Boonskiies, if we've played together before. I think we have, but I can't remember the game or how long ago, been here since 2014, so.

Mistyx has been around a minute, they might be able to have a correct read, but they likely won't be able to push you and gain momentum. Likely can be a misfade for us.

Iconeum kind of the same thing as Mistyx, I don't know them too well.

TGP probably will tunnel, and they have a strong voice, but I've never really seen them be able to push anything hard.

Nancy can become super obv town, and will tunnel relentlessly. She's also likely to push you if you scum read her.

Pine's a veteran player, but he goes inactive a lot. Kind of a wild card because he can be a strong player, but also misfade bait.

Ramcius has slight aggression their posts, but not in a bad way. They don't post a whole lot from what I remember.

NorwegianBoy might tunnel you for the wrong reasons. Good reads, wont case well, but might be able to gain momentum.

Zoraster I don't know much as a player.

[Flavor Leaf]

I'm a JOAT, Mikasa from Attack on Titan.

Commuter
Watcher
Ninja

[Thestatusquo]

appreciate it. Looks like our best pushes are somewhere in [mistyx, ramcius, nancy, iconeum, tgp]

[Flavor Leaf]

right. I'll probably try to stop Norwegian from gaining momentum, so probably don't lay a town read there unless they're like obv town.

I think this can be a fun game.

[Thestatusquo]

I put nancy in there because given your description might be good to try to get them early before they can obv town. If we can discredit d1 to get the slot that would benefit us. Might be kind of a risky play though, not sure if we need to go that aggro.

[Thestatusquo]

right. I'll probably try to stop Norwegian from gaining momentum, so probably don't lay a town read there unless they're like obv town.

I think this can be a fun game.

Likewise, I read your scum primer and I think we think very similarly about how to play scum, so I'm looking forward to this.

[Dr Easy Bake]

I have a nice lil power, one time during the game, I can make the factional kill unblockable

[Thestatusquo]

@mod can we C/P or screenshot our whole RPs here?

[PenguinPower]

I've updated the OP with your roles.

[Thestatusquo]

much thanks.

[Thestatusquo]

My inclination on first glance is that this scum team is pretty weak, so we should probably expect a kind of weak town as well, which should open up some space for fake claim gambits later on, though I'm not sure if we'll use them. We'll see how it goes. Any ideas on what I could be crumbing from D1 to try to give us that option later on?

Also if anyone disagrees with my analysis of the scum team power level overall I'm interested in hearing it.

[Thestatusquo]

I'm interested in how much abilities are tied into characters, since flavor leaf's definitely is. I'd want to see one town flip before I go to deep into thinking about this but theres lots of interesting flavor for designing stuff here for this character.

[Thestatusquo]

oh no I can't edit that to instead of too is going to bug me until the end of time.

[Flavor Leaf]

damn, bbmolla might actually scum read me. Damn people knowing me in real life.

[Thestatusquo]

Feels like the kind of thing that will blow over if we let it, and we can consider a NK there if he's not too vocal about the read today. Still a lot of game to go.

[Flavor Leaf]

Yeah, it actually bodes decently well in my favor if I'm scum read.

I have a tendency to become universal town read early as scum, and then if something shifts incorrectly, it's like a glass shattering moment when people realize I'm scum, and I'd rather avoid that.

[Flavor Leaf]

Honestly, let's take this day slow, try to run up some claims.

[Thestatusquo]

Yeah I'm gunna be aggressive because that's just what I always do as town, but I'm kind of waiting for something to actually happen in thread, kind of stagnant right now. Any thoughts on the question I posed in post 16?

[Flavor Leaf]

Too early to tell based on setup, but can't go wrong with a bodyguard of some sort.
