[FancyPants]

Hi Zenith, welcome to the team.

@Plotinus, can I confirm daytalk? It didn't work like that for me in the past.

I don't consider playing scum (scum is shorthand for the mafia faction) my strong suit but I always play to win so goodluck!

How much experience with mafia do you have?

Here's some personal advice for playing as the baddies:
- DON'T ever make a post about power roles, don't speculate about power roles in the game thread at all.
- DON'T claim a power role UNLESS you are quite literally about to get lynched i.e. someone is threatening to hammer you imminently, even then avoid claiming your role until the very last second, you'd be surprised how easily a wagon on you will get derailed.
- DO let your "suspicions" be known, you don't have to be super active if you don't want to but you should always say your suspects and WHY they are your suspects, it doesn't matter if your logic isn't great, just have some sort of justification for voting. Many people vote for bad reasons, just as long as it LOOKS like you are actually hunting for scum.

As for how I will play - I'll pretty much never bus you (vote for you, or solicit others to vote for you) I don't think it's good strategy in Newbie games, but feel free to bus me or be suspicious of me if you like.

Let me know if you have any questions, I just posted this quickly from work so I don't actually have that much time.

[FancyPants]

Oh and because I'm the role-blocker we are in one of three set-ups:
- Mafia Roleblocker, Mafia Goon, Town Cop, Town Doctor, Vanilla Townie x 5
- Mafia Roleblocker, Mafia Goon, Town Jailkeeper, Town Tracker, Vanilla Townie x 5
- Mafia Roleblocker, Mafia Goon, Town Mason x2, Vanilla Townie x 5

We can talk about who to target, and the best way to use our abilities if we make it to night 1.

[Plotinus]

Yeah, newbie games all have daytalk now. It's part of the new setup

[FancyPants]

Yeah, newbie games all have daytalk now. It's part of the new setup

Thanks Plotinus!

[FancyPants]

In that case Zenith if you get reaaally stuck I can help you out with what to say, but we can't make it too obvious.

[Zenith]

I wanted to be town. Oh well.

Role confirmed.

[Zenith]

If I get into a bind, don't defend me directly, though distracting by pushing for someone else may be fine.

[Plotinus]

you're the 8th person to confirm but it's past my bedtime, so the game will start when I wake up.

[Plotinus]

It is now Day 1! Day 1 will end in (expired on 2019-10-26 08:30:00) unless you lynch somebody first.

[Zenith]

Lol you coukd vote suspicious for a quicklynch

[Zenith]

Nevermind, you are on it. How great would it be if a townie accidentally lynched though?

[FancyPants]

Lol you coukd vote suspicious for a quicklynch

I'm already on the suspicious bandwagon .

[Zenith]

I was also thinking of voting the first person to unvote, but nevermind.

[FancyPants]

I was also thinking of voting the first person to unvote, but nevermind.

Haha go ahead, we can have a bit of a back and forth.

[FancyPants]

Suspicious is a power role. I'm putting money on it now.

[Zenith]

Wow, the game was looking slow but now i have 4 pages to read through.

[Zenith]

There are some other things which feel off about suspicious, but i think it might be better to not post a comprehensive case against someone. Better to leave some things for others to find when pointing to someone's ISO. Better to let people convince themselves than be convinced by me, and even if that doesn't work out, it allows me to drag out more fodder for later.

[FancyPants]

Don't give up at this stage, it's time to get fake mad and start lashing out at people on your wagon for for being obvious scum on a townie wagon.

[FancyPants]

The wagon on you isn't that strong, plenty of people are only voting you because you're frustrating them, or they have no other options.

[Zenith]

I don't get mad. Also not worried.

[DrDolittle]

ok, skitter is rly good. but theres only 2 days. so lets try to milk things out and force a mislynch and then we can nk her and hope theres no doc

[DrDolittle]

but meanwhile set up townread on her?

[Zenith]

Hmm..

[Zenith]

Well she suspect me pretty early lol. You've got some time to work on a catchup thread while waiting to see how this plays out. If things still aren't looking too great, you might want to bus me.
