The Lynch Mob

Welcome, initial members,

Why limit lynching to only the day? You are avid vigilantes, and feel like it's a waste for only one person to hang. As such, among your own private council, you can make another!

Please refer to the below for the full nature of the Lynch Mob Mechanic.

These mechanics are very important for you to study.

Lynch Mob Mechanics

• All of the below information is mod-guaranteed to be 100% accurate.
  
• The players with initial access to this private topic were semi-randomly selected before all aspects of the game. (Semi-random, because of the below.)
  
• At least one member of the original three lynch mob members is
  guaranteed to be human
  .
  
• No werewolf, not even a werewolf who would appear for all intents and purposes to be human, classifies as human.
  Werewolves are not human.
  Thus, you know this initial PT composition cannot be made up entirely of werewolves.
  
• If no living member of the Lynch Mob is human, the Lynch Mob PT will cease functioning. (Refer to above; werewolves are never human.) This will be announced in this topic during the beginning of the night phase, and the topic will remain locked.
  
• This topic is
  Night-talk only
  ; it will remain locked during the day phase. It will be unlocked during
  pregame
  as well.
  
• NIGHT-LYNCHING MECHANICS:
  • Lynch Mob members may Vote for a player. This is done using VOTE: vote tags or
    a bolded 'Vote:'
    , as per normal voting mechanics.
    
  • If the Lynch Mob
    UNANIMOUSLY
    votes for a player (2/2, 3/3, 4/4, 5/5), that player is night-lynched.
    
  • This night-lynch functions as a group-nightkill/group-vig: all members of the Lynch Mob visit the lynchee and the lynch CAN be prevented by any non-roleblocking interference.
    
  • Because all members visit, the kill cannot be roleblocked unless every member is roleblocked. Similarly, the kill cannot be redirected by a redirector targeting a member of the lynch mob (though other redirection roles are fair game).
    
  • The flavor of this group-nightkill is 'Lynched'.
    
  • Regardless of whether the last member of the Lynch Mob is human or not, the Lynch Mob cannot Night-Lynch a player with only one member of the Lynch Mob left alive.
    
  • Regardless of circumstances, the Lynch Mob may not
    Night
    -Lynch a fellow member of the Lynch Mob. (During the day phase you're more than free to vote/lynch one another.)
• If not lynching, members of the Lynch Mob may recruit a player to become a new member of the Lynch Mob. This is done with a
  bolded recruit
  vote. Does not need to be unanimous, but DOES need a majority (51%--1/1, 2/2, 2/3, 3/3, 3/4, or 4/4). This may only be done twice in the game. You may thus potentially expand membership up to five members, but no more.

Will catch up on this later. Out with friends.

i guess it's not a good idea to reveal this group to the rest of town for now?

i'm new here so i don't understand much these mechanics...

i'll give my opinions however i'm afraid of choosing the wrong person to lynch here and mess up town

i'm quite inclined to let you two choose it to be honest...

[Aronis]

Hi! Are you guys town?

We need to sort each other quickly to determine if we can leverage this as a masonry or not.

And if we can use this as a masonry then tonight based on the gamestate we determine if there is like an obvTown member we should add or if there is an obvScum we should vig.

The jist of all those words are is at least one of us three is town. I know I am town but need to sort you two. As a group if unified we can kill and all of us must be blocked to stop it. However it takes a majority to add a new member.

I do not like Y’s sit back and you tell me approach.

Your join date is today but you’re clearly experienced enough to know how to join a theme game. I don’t believe in alt hunting/outing so I won’t ask about you, however since you seem experienced in Mafia I will read you as such. Do you disagree?

Aronis Imho will sort himself on day one rather easily.

[Yuurei]

i'm okay with being read as such (i've played 3 games in my home website), however what i mean is that you shouldn't expect too much from me i guess?

i have a plan on what to do in night 1 here but it's not a good idea to reveal it now so i'll wait

[Yuurei]

is there a difference in theme games to other games? i wanted to play one because it has a lot of people and it seems fun but should i rather not?

I tend to agree if you have a plan to hold it back so scum can’t counter.
With experienced players I expect more to know what a power role is, what a plurality lynch is, and some common actions around that.

Specific roles and modifiers can be found here if you ever get confused about a MafiaScum role. There are some subtle differences between sites so I would check it should something come up.

With experienced players even if you don’t 100% understand the mechanics in front of you I do expect reads of some sort from you. Mechanics wise there are ways to bring people up to speed, however I will not accept you being silent on all reads because of your release date because “experienced”.

Mastina games are almost certainly hella fun!
I did not mean to imply otherwise.

It’s just theme games are similar to Manual Games on Mafia Universe or on sc2 anonymous complicated ones.
By all means do join, but mechanics will likely play a role in it.

I asked that question to see how you took to being doubted or questioned and I like the reaction you gave.

I am also thinking that when day opens or a little before we crumb we are neighbors. That way if it comes up later we can explain it.

@Yuurei A crumb is when you leave a small bit behind that strongly indicates you are a given role. For example Masons might quote a buddy’s post and start or end every word with mason.

[Yuurei]

i did read a lot the mafia wiki/old games before signing up here so i think i'll be fine with most power role names or acronyms used

masons are a sort of town-sided cult that has confirmation about their partners alignment correct? since we don't know if everyone here is part of town or a werewolf you're implying that is better to treat this as a neighborhood, that if i'm not wrong, is a group or duo of players that can talk in a private topic however doesn't has confirmation about each other alignment?

well, if what i said is correct, i guess that the "lynch mob" looks more like a neighborhood with special abilities than a masonry, therefore is better to do what you said i imagine?

i don't know if my "crumb" will be good or not though

Masons are not a cult.

They are a group of people who are moderator confirmed to be town and have some sort of chat access.
They can recruit (similar to a cult) only if one of the masons abilities allows it.

I am saying that yes, it’s better to treat this as a hood with potential scum unless we all unanimously agree that there are no scum in it. If we get to a point where everyone in the hood agrees there is no scum then we can treat it like a masonry.

We can talk about crumbing here before day start. It’s geberally a common word phrase or idea.
It’s more we need to sort each other fast and the fact we don’t have day talk to do that is ugh :/

[Yuurei]

okay, i think i understood.

[MathBlade]

(There is such a thing as scum masons on most sites however prevailing site meta is masons are town. So don’t suggest scum masons especially in a Mastina game. I have seen scum masons but it’s incredibly rare.)

Also your vote will disappear at game start. Votes are more symbolic in pregame. I plan on just revoting TGP at open barring any major issues.

[MathBlade]

So mainly we need Aronis to show up and agree to crumbing or talk more so we can figure out what we are doing before enough people approve.

Temporary plan if he doesn’t is to quote one of our posts and mention a food product and we three way circle it.

[Aronis]

If you get lost, just sheep me, Yuurei.

I'm town this game math, dw, you'll see that in like three posts

Adding someone to the group is a dumb idea, we should vigkill night 1

I'll do a great job crumbing something, I'm generally great at it

I am not concerned about your crumbing skills as generally you’re good at that as either alignment.
I am more concerned with Yuurei. If Yuurei is truthful about being new to the site (I see no reason to lie about that) then Yuurei may not be able to crumb as easy.

@Yuurei your pronoun field is not set. May I ask if you are a he? She? They? E? Something else?

I want to discuss what we do on night open.

A vig kill requires unanimous agreement and if there is scum in the hood I doubt they kill one of their own.

Generally you are pretty quick to sort but sometimes I do need the day.

[Yuurei]

@Yuurei your pronoun field is not set. May I ask if you are a he? She? They? E? Something else?

you can use what you prefer, although selfish of me it's quite fun to see people guessing my gender

in regards to the crumbs, i'll silently watch first what you guys are doing and will follow suit later

in regards to what do in night 1, i suppose it's better to leave it to later? we'll have time to discuss at the appropriate time anyway i imagine?

[MathBlade]

I am glad you find it fun, to each their own. However I ask that you please use he for all of my pronouns please.

I agree with Yuurei and leaving which action to later tonight.

[Aronis]

Mastina wouldn't put scum in a vig hood. Her games are townsided af.

Do we even need yuurei you crumb? Like if we do it right, it may be unnecessary to have yuurei's involvement as long as we insinuate their participation in the group

[Aronis]

What am I supposed to answer to the food question? Idgi

Also why can't we have daytalk.

In the last Mastina game you asked random questions about different people that seemed to have no connected purpose. If all of us have a post related to food with each other then later it’s traceable back to us being in the hood.

Because Mastina says so.

And to your other point, assuming we are an all town masonry then scum would have to have a global roleblock to stop our vig or at least multiple ones. I have seen that before in theme games where scum do have a limited global roleblock. It’s worth considering but I am not quite so sure I want to take that leap to masonry. I want time to make sure this hood is good.

[Aronis]

I just gave the perfect answer to your food question. Just wait until i explain this
