Ignoring "first 3 posters".. I am the FURST poster. (I am also the FIRST on the players list, and I trust I am the oldest too, so I shall be claiming the "chairman" seat until proper elections have been held. That said; my first executive decision is to .. wait for it: CANCEL ELECTIONS!)

Oh, and a random vote on...

VOTE: Pesto

This a totally random vote. It's not because that's the only name I don't recognize on the players list or anything like that.

this rule is linked to a player in the game, executing him will disable it, he is aware of it

I get the feeling there's going to be an excuse for a lot of red checks this game, but we'll have a lot of investigatives.

A solution is to assign one player to it all the time. Dwlee (claims a Universal Miller already) or Meg (claims Ascetic) should be the hammerers. Anyone else hammering becomes a major suspect because WHY would you want to be both Hated and a Miller?

I suggest we save the mod (and ourselves) the trouble and pack more votes on the Momragnal & KittyTacky slots. If someone is posting one (or all) will have a chance to look into their posts and votes to get a read on them. Slots that don't post are IMPOSSIBLE to read, so we need to either make them post or remove them early (so we all know where we stand, rather than have them around when it's riskier to eliminate a townie by mistake).

@MOD: Meg appears to be voting BOTH Mom & Kitty. Is this correct?

I have nothing else against Kitty tbh. Mom however is another story. This game opened on September 20 (check Yuki's 1st post). Mom contributed 5 posts since, none of which I'd call a good post. OK.. to save me a lot of tricky talk that could have me step on the wrong side of the rules.. have a look:

search.php?author_id=31140&sr=posts

I mean I think the worms problem is real, but what of the time between this game started and she found out about the dogs problem?

But yeah, activity is key for both. We can't afford 2 inactive slots because that would hinder our abilities to wagon someone we suspect is scum, so even if they're Town they're dead weight, and I'd rather get rid of them sooner than later (I hope there's a Vig out there, so we can treat D2 as if it was D1 in a 15-players game and move on)

You said "is" (singular) followed by "the" (definitive), so it's not a hypothetical interpretation. It's a literal translation if you will.

If you had said "Who is Scum?" (dropping the "the") it implies a "wild card" so "numerous names" can be used.

If you had said "Who ARE the Scum?" you would have been asking about a group by definition.

But "Who

is the

Almost50 · Post Post #547 (isolation #55) » Tue Sep 28, 2021 3:22 am

Where did you get that I have no reads? You asked me who the SCUM are, and I said I don't know. You didn't ask about my TOWN reads, of which I have many.

By play unwnd & Skybird are strong TRs to me.

Gamma is a strong enough but as strong as the two forementioned.

Meg is a Town Lean, and so are you (but only due to your claim if I'm being candid). I also have NDmath in this category but I forgot why that is.

I am still not cpmfprtable with either of Mon or Kop slots, but my push on them has been rebuked and I kind of felt disappointed as that stopped the game from progressing OMHO. They didn't need to actually get eliminated, but I thought some genuine real pressure on either could have given the game a good push forward. Now I'm just watching things develpp naturally and waiting for the day to end so I can start connecting dots.

assuming he was Town himself

, and his answer confirmed it was the case. He asserted that in a follow up post, so assuming he is Town he should have no problem being the yeet of the day.

The reason it's a better lim than -say- Ari is I don't TR RR, mastina doesn't TR him, Titus doesn't TR him, but STD (a major suspect for both me and the mastinas, and a null for Titus) actually does TR him. It's a test for how good our collective reads are, and it removes a slot that's obviously hard to read.

Ari not only can prove his role, but we can deduce his alignment through his picks and use of them. That -obviously- includes RR's ability(ies) tonight, so we lose nothing.

P=edit: Yes.. per corpse. This means he has less shots than there are roles (1 yeet + "at least" 1 NK per cycle). What I meant was no -say- 1-shot Rolecop/Strongman/Ninja etc. You know.. the roles that Scum usually thrive to survive "one more day/night" to use and then become a Goon.

I definitely prefer this to A50.
This is probably the towniest A50 has been in my experience with him; he's been heavily advancing the game, his tone is well-intentioned, and the high activity is also a good sign for him.

@Gamma, What does 'some room' even mean this late into the day phase?
I mean I want to give him another day phase or two because I think he’s not in a great spot to legitimately show his alignment because he’s kinda trapped

He's TOWN. I'm sure of it now (judging by his responses and will to cooperate after being pushed). This is NOT the issue though. If it was up to me I'd go for a NO LIM because not a single slot has "obv!Scum'ed" to me, but the majority of the players -including and spearheaded by RR- think a mislim is better than No Lim, so I was driving the wagon on him on principle (and it did give me the desired outcome of having a read on him).

Now, we have multiple options and not enough time to discuss and evaluate them all.

1) Go ahead with the RR lim. The most precious advantage is he's willing to self-hammer, so no Hated slot on D2
2) Switch to DotW. I'm cool with that, but what if another "I'm Town and I can prove it"?
3) Go for Titus. She already said she wanted to be eliminated, but I wanted her alive to -at least- try to VCA on D3
4) This may come to you as a surprise, but I myself wouldn't mind going if the likes of Gamma are going to misread my intentions. If Gamma can't tell this is 100% Town!me he's either scum or I have no place in this game.

As I said, we don't -and I mean Town collectively- have the time to discuss all options (this is what happens when you spend several days doing nothing at the start of the game). The thing now is I have several slots I won't touch because I TR, and some others that will resolve themselves within 2 cycles. I have only 3 slots left (if we exclude RR) to vote: Yuki, DotW or superbowl slot. I doubt we have the time to wagon Yuki, and I doubt even more superbowl will be an acceptable lim. I don't oppose a DotW lim, but -as I said- I expect another claim (of course there's going to be one regardless of whether it true or fake), and we all know someone's going to unvote at that point. So my question is: what next? Do we go ahead and throw DotW to the lions regardless? Or do we try to flash wagon yet another alternative? That's why I laid down the options in 764, and I didn't even include Yuki or sb for fear of hitting a strong PR with 5 minutes left to deadline.

Rolecop gets your ROLE. They're not affected by the Miller part. HOWEVER, it's up to the Mod to choose if they get the "name of the role" (which makes them a "flavour Cop" instead), or the whole Role PM (minus the alignment indicative stuff). USUALLY it's the latter (i.e. They get the description of your Role as you received it in your PM). This -of course- can be replaced by a simple Role name in NORMAL GAMES because a Jailekeeper/Roleblocker/2-shot Vig/Vanilla/MILLER is called just that.

If it was up to me I'd give them the DESCRIPTION so they know how the Role works. Otherwise -as I mentioned earlier) they'd be just a FLAVOUR Cop, and couldn't tell what the name means.

It's the kind of play that strikes me as very unselfaware (is that the word?). Like to me it doesn't make a lot of sense if you were trying to forge a trajectory of a hard scumread onto A50 -- how do you miss how bogus the innocent result was yesterday and go along with it? I know RR hard scumreads A50 *because* they're coming after him despite it seeming like something that wouldn't happen today.

So that's what i find hard to get from a scum!RR -- why come after A50 who I'm presuming to be town from other's reads and i thought was overwhelmingly TR

The thing is "I think" "it could be" "possibly" RR knew the flip was going to be green and helped still

what he's doing today.

Like.. "OMG.. no time left" should have exempted him from guilt from his own PoV. He thought no one will ask WHY because.. "eh.. deadline"

Do you have a better method of making something out of nothing than shifting around votes?

This also supports the idea that ND is trying to "make things happen" by building wagons for reactions (I don't necessarily approve, but it's the way half of the players on MS choose to play on D1)

More mindmeld. Remember that my main 2 "pushes" on D1 were mom & Kop? Even NOW I still agree that unwnd (now Pooky) looks much townier than RR still. (I do realize Kitty got replaced by Kop who was then shot at night, which may look iffy, but would scum explicitly state whom they were going to kill this early?)

This is probably the towniest A50 has been in my experience with him

@Gamma, What does 'some room' even mean this late into the day phase?

The bolded is a TRUE STATEMENT (or at least I think it is. I didn't check how many games I've played with ND or how they went)

And that was it for D1

On D2 he didn't bother questioning my "D1 stunt" as Dwlee calls it. I would have expected SCUM (side-eyes RR) to make it that

the

subject of the day. What better opportunity to shift all attention off Scum and focus it on a Town player?

I started to lose concentration at about this time. So that's why ND was still TOWN to me (I even FORGOT the details of D1. I just remembered he was a strong TR to me by the end of the day, and the start of D2 confirmed it)

Almost50 · Sat Oct 23, 2021 5:05 am

Your experience and mine are so much different than each other then.

Almost50 · Sat Oct 23, 2021 5:57 am

At the very least he would have made a "reservation". Like, rather than asserting that I'm still his strongest TR and that my fake inno was a silly thing to come from Scum he could have said something like I still TR him EXCEPT for that bit. "Strongest TR" and "silly to come from Scum" is too much "white knighting" to come from Scum. It's like "I'm never voting there".

I am NOT sheeping anyone today (except the 2mastinas IF they show up). I saw yours as the leading wagon, and Titus was the runner up, so I made a choice based on my reads on both slots.

Now as for my read on Yuki, it's a very weak Town lean. Like very very weak. Just above Null by less than an inch

In post 1633, Morning Tweet wrote:if A50 is scum

Starting with a false premise often leads to a false conclusion.

If you're Town (and I think you are); try solving the game with the premise that I'm TOWN and try to see things my way. Like, I never said Tarou was 100% a Townie. I said he is less likely to be Scum given the result of ND on him. Not the optimal choice for a lim today.

As for "Dark Magic" I have no idea what that is, but I saw the phrase "controlled by Scum" and assumed it's a SCUM ability. I didn't think Ari's role would count as "Dark Magic" because -in my mind- Dark Magic should have a -ve effect on the victim, and Ari's targets would be already dead.

I also was DEAD SERIOUS I wanted to wait until the 2mastinas posted because -when I'm so confused myself- I like to see how a

confirmed Town slot

sees the game.

Oh, and whoever said the mastinas not being able to interact with us is bad is making a faulty generalization. I -for example- have BETTER reads when I'm not involved in the game. I sometimes like to replace into a large on D3/D4 and usually have a much better view because I didn't get affected by the -ve feelings of -say- being SR'd for bad reasons. I also get the flips of the previous Days & Nights, but I guess the mastinas are "semi-involved" in the sense they did read up from the beginning without the flips.

Anyway, I am just babbling.. do as you wish

I can't answer the "why mastina TRs me" part, but my guess is either my tone, my involvement, or that nothing I posted was agenda'y. The reason isn't as important as the fact itself, and the fact is I'm town, so deal with it if you want to solve the game. Scum are going to have to kill me sooner or later, y'know, so that's one slot you need not worry about.

Funny fact: Sometimes I just post lyrics out of boredom, and Scum -somehow- think I'm crumbing my role and shoot me.

Almost50 · Thu Oct 28, 2021 7:22 am

1- I don't see a "solid" chance, but "a chance" does exist. There's also a chance ND is Town.
2- Using tw's role on you is suboptimal. Like, if this is an "anything goes" kind of setup, what makes you think a Redirector or a Roleblocker doesn't exist? How do I know you're not a Commuter, Ascetic, or Scum with a Rolestopper on your team?
3- Assuming the morning comes and we do get results, it does not clear you from potentially being Scum still. People may also still want tw's head (because we want to to prove his result is true.. the same result that is inconclusive about your alignment).

Like, I could be wrong, and ND could flip red. You could be Town. tw could be Scum and I could be the mist stupid player on MS. I'm just using probabilities here, and I think it's more likely ND is Town aligned... BUT..

Let me entertain your theory of him being Scum from one faction assigned to find a member (or more) from the other faction.. why would you want to intervene in the war between Scums? Why can't we wait for ND to find that "other Scum" OR let the other Scum shoot him?

And while I was about to submit it hit me: The sign-ups thread had something mentioning non-SK 3P, so it hit me that there might be an SK (meaning the second kill was done by them most probably). Why can't

that SK

be

the one role

ND is assigned to find? In effect, ND is an FBI Agent looking for the SK in the setup, and the rest is mere flavour.

ND's claim is the only saving grace he has in my mind

If his play was so scummy how come (A) He wasn't a major contender for the lim on D1, and (B) I NEVER voted him at any point of the game?

I'm on the verge of considering migration from this site altogether because most of you (even the ones that "used to be" good) are playing the game as a mere guessing game. In my view, MAFIA is less a game of intuition and more a game of deduction. USE YOUR HEAD NOT YOUR HEART. Use probability, use mechanics.. etc. But all you ever do nowadays is "feels, looks, sounds".

I concede I could be wrong on "most" of my reads. I will not accept the reasoning introduced though. For example: "MAYBE" Multiball isn't a good reason AT ALL. Because MAYBE NOT???

Also, I've laid down that IF HYPOTHETICALLY it IS MB, ND could still be Town. And EVEN OF SCUM IN MB the better play is to let the other Scum team take care of him.

In post 1926, Skybird wrote:I think ND probably used Ari's to base his claim from.

Enchant, the way I am reading ND's win con is there are two groups in the game and he would have won if one person from each group was executed. I believe the two groups are kingdom and scum faction. The fact that we only had one kill last night means we had a serial killer and a scum faction. We executed the serial killer, hence only one night kill.

It's surprising how eaveryone reaches a different conclusion from the same Role PM! Like, where does it say ND had any killing abilities? He was a Condemner... a double-condemner if you will, and to make up for him needing not one but two eliminations to win he was given an alternative to each, so rather than the simple "eliminate A and walk out a winner" or the more complicated "Eliminate A & B to walk out a winner" he was given the choice to eliminate EITHER A or B And EITHER C OR D. And to help him out he could hand out a BP vest to someone who helps him out once.

What interests me more is WHO his "pool of targets" were. I reread his ISO and thought RR, Enchant, Yuki, MT & Pooky would probably contain all 4 "redacted names".

I also don't believe the pairs had to be from the same faction. They could have been, or it could have been 1 Town & 1 Scum for each pair. Even more, if we are in multi-ball it could have been Town+Faction A for one pair and Town+Faction B for the other. Like, who can tell?

This list alone tells me Ari wasn't one of the 4 names on ND's execution list. Add the fact that ND never voted Ari (even when Ari came so close to being eliminated on D1) and never really pushed him either (the closest he got to that was "I don't really TR Ari BUT..." and I think it's evident (at least to me) that Ari wasn't one of ND's targets.
