Was that due to the possibility that your role was insane and that mafia wouldn't actually be made aware? | ||

I very much doubt youngminii has a role that makes him permanently immune to lynches and that if that role existed it would certainly not be a scum role. Medics should protect our most experienced players for now. Period. That's Fishball, Bumatlarge, Ace, BrownBear, infundibulum, and possibly Divinek (not sure exactly how much of a vet he is) Medics should NOT protect me obviously. | ||

Because as of now you dodging just makes me incrediably wary of you. If you can't explain in thread, then I would suggest we somehow incorporate youngminii into a pming circle. I'm unsure how to do that however while still trying to get the doc(doc h that is) connected. Also, if the bodyguard can only be lynched it actually would be advisable for the bodyguard to claim so then we don't lynch him. Of course, that seems a bit OP for town so I would think there must be a lynch-related role of changing the lynch target... Hmm..... if only there was such a role... *wonder why I'm so suscipcious of you* why are you fishing so hard for him to claim? if there is a role that dodges lynches/hides at night I highly doubt it is a scum role. In fact it seem even more likely to me that he was acted upon by another more manipulative role. | ||

And I disagree about a role immune to lynches being a town role. To me, a role immune to night hits would be town, a role immune to lynches would be mafia. Who's going to get hit at night? Town(mafia/town if there are vigis) Who's going to be lynched in day? mafia/town A role involving immunity to lynches would almost certainly be a scum role in my eyes. If you can point out another game where it was not, I would be much obliged. Well let's find out: Artanis, can a bodyguard be lynched? A scum role that avoids lynches permanently is broken since we'd have to rely on using a single vigi hit to win the game, presumably. And don't assume a bus driver couldn't switch lynchees in this game. This is Insane Mafia and we need to throw our previous conclusions about how roles should work out the window. At least to some degree. Although my top 2 when I told the town who I was going to lynch was SiN and THEN youngminii, I changed my mind after SiN's martyring post. Perhaps a busdriver switched SiN and young, trying to save SiN only to have the opposite effect? It seems plausible enough but I'm not sure there is any real way to know and having YM role claim is just going to paint a new big target for the mafia forcing our medics to spread even thinner. @InfiniteStory There are many roles that could be twisted to do this that are fairly standard/used in mafia games. Roles like the hider, commuter, bus driver, etc. | ||

In any case, why don't you think about it carefully before telling me to claim? If I'm invincible, no one will believe me. If I'm immune to lynches, mafia will kill me. If I'm able to manipulate something, that will make me just as suspicious as I am now. Stop being an idiot and play the game properly. You always do this over-analytical crap which doesn't work. Go back a step and think before you post. Maybe you should start with the first post where clearly says PMs are not allowed. Did Pandain PM you? | ||

but then I read the rest of your post and that you can survive a short while without medics. I'm not sure it was necessary to claim. If the Mafia thought the only bodyguard was dead, they might waste hits on me, even stack them. | ||

Can Artanis confirm this? I know he can't confirm that you are the bodyguard so let me word my question thusly: If a player is "gone for the night", would that player also be able to protect me if they were a bodyguard that same night? If Aeres hypothetically is the second bodyguard and my other bodyguard is dead: Aeres leaves for the night and the mafia hits me. Do I survive? | ||

So you're assuming that I can PM people and your argument is that I should be roleclaiming through PMs? And please, tell me how letting me die is a good thing? Back up your arguments. In any case, your posts have been hugely scummy to me, but then again they always are. I've never been in a mafia game where you've given solid arguments as a townie. there is supposedly a role in this game that can pass on the power of PM's to others, I believe that is what he is referring to letting you die is retarded though | ||

By answering this question, I would be confirming the existence of the fake role and as such, I can't give a real answer. Maybe. I just talked to him about it on MSN. In the words of Artanis "If the definition of the night action is only that he can't be targetted by night actions, then nothing in that includes not being able to protect the mayor." Can you confirm this Artanis? | ||

However, like I said earlier, that bus driver would have to be certain youngminii is valuable and by extension probably know his alignment. That would indicate either they're both mason-like roles (unlikely, since the bus driver is already a bus driver), or they're both reds. But I've already noted that a red lynch-swapping bus driver would be ridiculously OP. Contradiction. Therefore, I'm convinced youngminii's role saved him, making him a likely blue. I looked around mafia scum roles related to lynches. What jumped out at me was the role "Unlynchable" which merely survives the first lynch. This can be either a town or mafia role, although it seems it's typically a pro-town role. Not saying that's YM's role, but this is not enough to confirm his as town by any means. | ||

It is very likely that there is a role that would prevent the "top" voted player to avoid the lynch, be it one time or can use all the game long. Young's case could be either ways; he has a role that immune to lynch (more likely one time, since permanent immunity is slightly too OP), or he has someone protected him with or without him knowing. We need to get more information before we can conclude which is the case. Right now, I think it is agreeable that medic should protect veterans first. However; from what I see from Sinquity's role, I think most medics would also be able to cure Murrayitis, which could be a decisive factor in this game. But since we don't have any infected player yet, the curing of Murrayitis is moot for the time being, but it should be discussed more on the next night. I want to ask you guys something too. Would it be a good idea to analyze the Murrayitis's mechanics and how it would affect the game in the long run? I think I find it's interesting but I'm not sure if other players agree or not. Murrayitis, for now, is something we have to be very aware of but it's also something thats effects will become much more significant as the game wears on. Our main priority is scumhunting. | ||

But fine, you have a good point about it being night. Afterwards, I'm still pushing for him to explain. This is correct Pandain said I don't want him to claim in thread if it hurts(thus through pms) and I don't even want him to claim entirely. I just want to know why he's not dead. Remember this is insane mafia, we need to make sense of what's happening. | ||

Is it that revealing this will reveal another aspect of your role that can be vital for town? If so, just say that. Because as of now you dodging just makes me incrediably wary of you.

Of course, that seems a bit OP for town so I would think there must be a lynch-related role of changing the lynch target... This is a pretty weak qualifier. Bum claims he can bring one person per night into the PMing circle and my guess is that YM wasn't his first choice, it seems unlikely that this scenario would occur at all and the only other alternative Pandain presents is an open roleclaim. I'm wary. You did later say you don't want him to claim if it hurts but that could very well be to save face. | ||
