An Analysis of Dr. H: or
Wtf Why Must You Post So Much

Summary:
Dr. H has lied, deceived, and misled the town. If anyone really wants to, I can go on, but just by seeing the first couple hundred posts it should be obvious how scummy Dr. H is. In addition, just noting right now, the fact that there are bandwagons going on which I believe have been started by mafia to hide the fact that Dr. H screwed up hard. Dr. H has lied about his role, given false facts, contradicted himself countless times, and wasted by 2000th post.

Basically, we can see some main thing which indicate he's scum.
1. He's lied about his role, and aspects regarding it
For example, we see he constantly has said things about his role which obviously he now says he cannot do. For instance:

To those of you saying Fishball could be lying about his role, slap yourselves

he would need to have 5 of his other scumbuddies fake being part of this "circle" in order to convince us he isn't lying meaning town would just be handed 6 mafia on a plate

like i said all we would need is for other people in the circle to come out and post their game related PM's to eachother in this thread. if there is no circle, obv, they get modkilled or they are mafia. it's pretty easy.

if no one is willing to do that we lynch fishball. the first person to come out gets rolechecked by the DT i'm assuming we have.

having 6 mafia pose as an impartial circle made up of players with several alignments would be the worst mafia play possibly in the history of the game


Well we don't even know if this circle actually exists. I suspect it does, but until someone else within the circle steps forward, we won't know for sure.


if the circle doesn't exist, we lynch fishball. it's that simple.

we rolecheck those who claim to be in the circle.

now imagine these scenarios:
neutral circle, 5 town aligned players 1 mafia players
neutral circle 6 town aligned players
neutral circle 3 town aligned players, 3 mafia players

from a meta/balance standpoint i find it highly unlikely that mafia outnumber/equal people in this circle. lets say you are the 1 mafia (maybe there are 2) in this scenario. your best move is to come out, post a pm from the circle, and prove it exists

the dt rolechecks you, you flip scum, this incriminates fishball who is blue.

that's why we need everyone in the circle to come out and claim it now. prove it through fishball, who will post his PM correspondence with you. talk about something related to the game (an off topic pm can be sent by any player to any player without fear of modkill) and post it ITT

if the circle is a fake by scum, we'll win the game by forcing all scum to claim or at least get an easy lynch on fishball

if the circle is what fishball claims it to be, then we have a protected member who can communicate outside of the game thread with other players (including mafia) and appears to have an important secondary role. since he is protected by bodyguards, he should claim that role as soon as he is elected and plague doctors should protect him.


How do you identify the one mafia player in a group of 6? You're ignoring the odds in this scenario. Or is there something I'm missing? I'm still not cool with role claiming. It's going to create headaches to sift through countless and infinite role possibilities. It will clutter this thread with nonsense finger-pointing.

If anything claiming to Fishball is safer, so then he can direct actions. The town as a whole doesn't need to know what everyone's roles are. Only Fishball needs to know, which then I would see a valid reason for Fishball to take the mayor position. This doesn't "confirm" Fishball, but we would then have to take the risk of electing a possible mafioso. We will know if things aren't looking right by Day 3/4 anyway.

ANd as someone already said, Fishball has something we can trace back. He is now accountable for the actions of this "PM Group," if one exists. I need more convincing before I throw a vote on him though.


i'm not cool with roleclaiming either, but people in this group should come out. it is otherwise too easy for fishball to lie about this. if we know who is in the circle, we know who has out of game information, we know who to keep an eye on as town.

if there are mafia in that circle they will have to play twice as good as they would normally have to play. if the whole circle is mafia, faking it to save fishball, we will likely dominate them and win the game easily

do you get where I'm going with this? even if there is only 1 mafia in the circle, we at least confirm there is a circle with townies in it and that is useful information for us. it's not necessarily about finding and killing mafia (it would be lovely, in fact i hope it's all a mafia lie), but it's a win/win scenario for town no matter what happens.


Dr.H, I don't understand you.

You were in full support of Fishball, because the opportunities that can arise from this alleged circle are great. Even in this post, you are supporting the possibilities of the usefulness of this circle. But then you change your vote to Pandain? Why?

Right now, I feel like Fishball is a good candidate. I think the benefits of having him in the circle could very well outweigh the negatives of having a Mayor who can talk in private. However, I will not give him my vote until someone else from the circle steps forward.


because mayor can't be rolechecked thats why im not voting for fishball

but i can further confirm the possibility that he is town in the night (my role is sorta complex and im just figuring out all of its applications
) and i'm considering changing back and putting more pressure on the pandainwagon


Alright. Stop here. Look at the bolded quote. He says he can confirm someone is town, yet from what he claims now his role cannot do that at all.

i remembered incorrectly about youngminii

he bandwagoned fishball NOT bumatlarge

this makes more sense, why would a scumbuddy come to the fake rescue of someone who isn't scum. that gives me more to think about. I'd really really really like a DT to rolecheck fishball. I can only kinda determine whether they may or may not be town and even then it ends up in a bit of a WIFOM situation.

the reason i feel weird about pandain is because his election reminds me a lot of the time when i was elected as scum mayor in my first mafia game and the way its going is very similar to that.

i wish there were more than 2 legitimate candidates that both come off as suspicious to me.

now that youngminii was voting for fishball, I'm less sure. I know youngminii in haunted mafia when he was vampire, he was a smart guy and always explained what he said in vampire chat. he's not the kind who would just say meaningless bullshit if he was town imo


Back tracks on his statement he can confirm if he's town, but still says he can, in some way. Dr. H, this is very suscipcious.

i'm gonna run for mayor

pandain has a big bandwagon that isn't saying shit about why they are electing him for the most part which is really suspicious

fishball needs to be rolechecked and the scummiest player is on his bandwagon and having him not be mayor makes things easier for town

i think by my posts everyone can see I'm pretty clearly town aligned. I can also roleclaim safely then and I will tell you that I have a very useful role that can help us coordinate to win this game. there is also no chance that i will die as mayor so plague doctors would not need to waste their night action on me and can protect other people

i'm a huge target for my experience and value to the town, why not get me protected so medics can protect somebody. i'd like to see our experienced players survive the night (infundi, ace, bumatlarge, fishball, brownbear, etc.)

Whoashit, this changes EVERYTHING. I'm very curious as to what you mean by not needing a Plague Doctor... some sort of immunity to Murrayitis? Or perhaps you're Mafia, and your role is to spread the virus... On the other hand, your posts so far do point you out as a townie, and your experience in past games does lend you the sort of aura of command I think a Mayor needs.

I'll ponder this some more.

i will tell everyone exactly what my role is and what it does and then I will confirm my role to someone who has been rolechecked who can then confirm it in the thread

that's all very confusing

but basically as soon as I am elected I will prove I am not mafia or you can lynch me.

How are you going to find and recruit a Detective role, and convince him to cooperate? I mean, we're all pretty much in the dark here, so unless a Detective acts of his own accord, I don't see how you'd find one to help, short of being in Fishball's circle (assuming it exists at all).

i havent thought of who i would lynch because there hasnt been any traction for my candidacy yet

but i think mayor candidates shouldnt reveal this anyway because if they would go after a mafia, it may incentivize other mafia to vote against them or to not vote for them when they otherwise would

I admit, I didn't think of this. Good point, Annul. I won't press the issue any further.


This is true.

But I can confirm that I am the role I say I am. The only problem is confirming it to the right person.

Alright, but you've already said wrong things about what you say your role is, and so far we don't know if you can even really confirm your role.

there is a second way i can confirm my role

if i somehow miss my confirmation, i can confirm it indirectly as well. and i will always get a second chance the next night to directly confirm it.

DrH I'm willing to throw my vote on you if you're going to seriously get the town organized. I am not confident about the FB vote and I still feel comfortable about Pandain, but if you really want the mayoral power I'll support you. You're the only person that's putting forth the effort to organize a strategic plan past the first night.

here is my basic plan for organization:

1. at night i can confirm to one player that I am who I say I am.

2. that player confirms to the town my role

3. hopefully masons will induct me into the circle

4. with my power i can help coordinate other roles, I don't want to say too much as to how right now.

There are only two scenarios in which the 1st step can fail. They are very very very very very very unlikely. If the person I confirm to is mafia, they can just lie and say I didn't confirm to them or never bring it up.

Mafia will be forced to confirm that I am blue, or I'll out them for lying.

I can be much more specific when I'm sure I can not be killed at night.


Points out that his plan could fail if one of these happen, but say they're very unlikely. Yet now he's bringing it up as defense. Also, I thought he said his role can confirm another players role, didn't I point that out?

How do we know the person who is "verifying" your confirmation of your role isnt just a Scumbuddy of yours?

well they would be ideal for a rolecheck

this would be incredibly dangerous play as mafia to out my scumbuddies as the game progresses. every time i confirm to someone i will be claiming it.

it is possible the person i can confirm to is a mafia, i have no way of knowing someones alignment. but look at this play from the perspective of me being mafia and it really makes no sense. I'm going to out all of my mafia compatriots just to win the mayor position?

you'll see very soon that the information I'm providing will be beneficial to the town and we'll see real results in numbers.

I'm putting my head on a plate for you guys if I turn out to be a liar. I can back this up.


Notice a trend that Dr. H is doing. He claims he can be confirmed, leaves an out, yet the fact remains that he's constantly saying that he's almost certainly going to be confirmed, that he even laters says he is 100% confirmed, and even uses the old "trust me, If I'm lying lynch me." Yet we've now caught him as lying, and what do people do? They hop on another bandwagon!

of course it's possible

but look at this play in the terms of the game overall. think for a minute that I am mafia. I would essentially be outing my entire team to the town over the course of the game.


Wrong if your lying about your role/do not have the role at all. And we've already pointed out you've lied about your role....

I'm not sold, yet.


there are other things to my power that will prove beyond any doubt that I am a pro-town player. they may not take affect immediately but everything will be quite clear when I am elected and roleclaim


Which is.....? Back up your claims, dr. h

Well, I see it this way. Dr.H has no reason to give us the names of another Mafia member just to get the Mayor position. I mean, sure, it's a nice position, but worth losing teammates over? Not sure...

There aren't 22 scum like there were in Haunted, there are many fewer (I forget exactly how many). This means that every time a mafia member dies, it is a bigger hit this game.

I hope there wouldn't be more than one shape-shifting role in the mafia.

One question though:
Does the Godfather get chosen Day1 or Night1?

If Godfather gets chosen Night1, then Dr.H couldn't possibly be shapeshifting now. Also, since he is roleclaiming immediately after being elected, it wouldn't give the Mafia enough time to have a Godfather, so even if he's Mafia, the person he would be claiming to wouldn't be shapeshifting yet. Or something to that effect...


Godfather would be chosen on the first day I believe

I have a small chance of confirming myself to a mafia. Mafia can then come out, get rolechecked, and sacrifice themselves to kill me

So in the freak scenario that this happens I would plead town to wait a day before lynching me. Not to mention it could be the miller as well.

There are other things to my role that will confirm me as town but I want to make a disclaimer, I have no way of knowing what other players roles are (I certainly don't have DT powers) so I have as much chance as anyone of acting upon mafia.


Since I really think it's obvious he's mafia, I'm just going to start going on that assumption,and why everything he does makes sense if he is mafia. Of course, I will still be pointing out errors and fallacies but time to set gear into overdrive.

Alright, so now he says his role cannot tell what another person's role is, says there are other things that can confirm him(yet says nothing else besides the fact he claims he can confirm himself, yet hasn't.)

why would you vote for someone who can't confirm themselves as town aligned?

If I'm not elected, I will likely be protected by a medic. I'm not that worried about dying tonight if I lose the election.

what is your reason not to vote for me, because I'll die if I'm not elected? my role is really only useful if it's known to the town anyway. the most useful ability is to confirm myself as town to other players, it's ideal that a player with this role would be mayor.


Yeah, that's what I'm wondering. Why did we elect someone who can't confirm themselves as town aligned. Unfortunately, we did leave out the possibility of a roleblocker, but again, the fact he should have been thinking about that and the fact we don't know the roles I'm suscipcious of the "Well, maybe there's a roleblocker" excuse.

Where did I tell you how to use your role? If I did that isn't my intention. I really don't care about your role, I'm more interested in your ability as a scum hunter. So far you haven't shown the ability to think beyond 1 step of a plan so you don't seem worth it as a Mayoral candidate.

What makes you think I haven't planned out how to use my role throughout the game?

You're telling me to stay quiet and then come out tomorrow with what needs to be said.

I'm offering coordination to the town with guaranteed protection. If you don't think thats better than what pandain is offering (nothing) then I don't really know what to say.

What lack of foresight? My plans are long-term plans on how I will use my role to benefit the town. The first step is confirming my identity, the second step is using my powers to coordinate the town in a way that is crucial to our survival and victory.

I've put the finger of suspicion on more players than you. Coagulation, youngminii, you haven't really done much in the way of scumhunting either. Mind telling me who you think is scum, if anybody?

While scumhunting is important to me, being mayor will without a doubt maximize the effectiveness of my role and give the town coordination it needs in this game. It's pretty simple.

Well for one, just seeing what happened tonight makes me think if you are town you didn't think everything through. And I'm still confused on how being mayor maximizes your effectiveness if your town, I mean, you can still do everything the same. Basically, you can confirm yourself as town, and that's it. But even that is in question.

Also anybody running on the platform of "I will roleclaim if I am Mayor" needs to reconsider their platform in light of the fact that the mayor can be rolechecked.

Additionally, Artanis alluded to the possible existence of elements that can tamper with role check results - e.g. a framer or insane DT - meaning that a rolecheck on the mayor night 1 is possibly useless, as any rolecheck-tampering would almost certainly be directed the mayors' way.

Finally, remember confirming a players role ability != confirming a players alignment.


I can prove my role is what I say it is without having to be rolechecked and if anyone tries to fake a rolecheck on me they'll be incriminated when I prove them otherwise.


I can't fathom any way you can do this that doesn't involve the possibility of you just getting your mafia buddies to help you do whatever it is you say you can do

I dont like the idea of just picking someone for what they say they are able to be or capable of. I'm more inclined to go with someone who has shown they can actually be useful instead of spewing confirmability.

Whatever it is you say you can do to confirm yourself i have no doubt the host put in something to make it possible to compromise the integrity of your claim. It's silly that you could try to be concrete on something so unknown to anyone.

I would rather have someone leading with clearly good intentions and capable of doing something instead of saying well guys i can be confirmed, cause once someone gets elected the spot lights so heavy it's ridiculous anyway


My role has two basic abilities:
-to confirm itself to another player at night. basically I can send a signal to another player once per night that confirms I am the role I say I am.
-to assist in stopping the spread of the plague. i will use this role to reliably coordinate the night actions of plague doctors and the results will show in the murrayitis counts.

Both of these actions can be proven, they have results that cannot be faked.

Secondly, (more like the hundred time I've said this and people don't listen)

If I were mafia using mafia to fake my confirmation ability. This means I have to consistently out scumbuddies for the entirety of the game just to stay alive. And for what? Immunity to nightkills that won't happen since I'd be mafia in the first place?

Mafia benefit from being mayor isn't big enough in a normal game to do a play like this, much less in a game like this where the mayors power is severely reduced.

What am I offering beyond my role? Simply put the town can trust me. I've put myself in a do or die situation and I'm more than prepared to back up what I'm offering. I can offer immense coordination that is OPEN to the town. I won't jump on poor mafia bandwagons. I'm not running on the basis of being a mayor that will do whatever the town (i.e mafia) tells him to do. I'll try my best to cut through the bullshit and use my votes the right way.


So, now we know you were lying about the second way to confirm yourself. And how could you confirm another player. There are so many things you've claimed about your role which now are being pushed aside. And now your saying mafia doesn't have anything to gain from trying to get mayor when previously you said it's valuable.




2.He contradicts himself/lies.

There are numerous examples of him either backtracking on stuff or just lying/misleading. Note many times he tries to lie/mislead/deceive, and if called out on it he will back down. Yet if no one does, he continues driving it home, embellishing it further and further and trying to establish it as fact. Even without taking into account the time's he's lied/contradicted himself on his role let's see some posts by him:

See, I only played haunted before, so I'm only getting used to the basics, but this one seems pretty crazy, so what guarantee is that we elect a good mayor with little to no information about him/her?

Also, do we know of anyone who is definitely blue?


having a mafia as mayor is a blessing and curse for the mafia

the extra vote power (which im guessing mayor has in this game) is super useful late game but mayor also has a lot of extra scrutiny on him which means he has to play very well.


First real post this game. Right off the bat I notice this is different from what he's saying now, which is mayor is not useful for mafia and they wouldn't want to have it. Contradiction is noted, but opinions can change. Moving on...

even if fishball isn't elected, we should go through with my gambit

that is if no one else from the circle claims at the end of the day, we lynch fishball. everyone who claims gets rolechecked to make sure it isn't a big mafia trick.

if it is a big mafia trick:
we win the game, easy as that.

if the mafia ditch fishball:
first day mafia kill, woo!

the only troubling scenario is where only the few mafia in the group come forward or say, the mafia in the group get rolechecked first, then we start killing the townies in the circle.

I think maybe electing Fishball might be a bad idea since he is then unable to be rolechecked. Mafia doesn't want to kill people in the circle, since if they are in it, they want to manipulate the information as much as possible.

also I suggest a plague doctor does not visit the mayor tonight. that is for reasons I can not tell you.

I'm going to vote for pandain since he is the only other choice. I have a weird feeling in my gut that he is scum but he is incredibly transparent and obvious as a player


Very anti town as well. First of all, he says we should check everyone who claims, when we would only have to check one. If it's mafia, then we know it's a lie/ we can check another person who claims. If not, THEN we lynch Fishball. But if we reveal a town, then we can stop, as he would be telling the truth. I don't see why Dr. H would be saying we should do this. And also his reason of not electing fishball: "he's unable to be rolechecked." Isn't that true for everyone?

Finally he says he suggests a PD not visit mayor. Why is this, dr. H?

Also, he has started to say in here he is wary of me because of a supposed bandwagon on me. Sadly, I did not look into this enough. Let's analyze the facts:
1.He claims there is a bandwagon on me.
This implies two things:
1.There is a group of people who just bandwagoned on voting me.
2. They give little to no reason

Both of these are outright lies. Like 5 people voted for me OVER THE COURSE OF 18 HOURS OR SO. And dr. H even voted for me!
Finally, he claims they gave no reasons. Hmm... let's look at these posts
coagmeepak

node also but I lost the exact link. -,-. So 3/5 gave at the very least a decent reason. So basically he accused me based on the fact two people didn't explain their votes fully enough.
Can't believe I didn't notice this...

you are really intent on making me look bad in this game aren't you. too bad you have no good reasons for it


Again says I have a huge bandwagon, when I do not. Also coag has been bringing up good points on dr. h.

i'm gonna run for mayor

pandain has a big bandwagon that isn't saying shit about why they are electing him for the most part which is really suspicious

fishball needs to be rolechecked and the scummiest player is on his bandwagon and having him not be mayor makes things easier for town

i think by my posts everyone can see I'm pretty clearly town aligned. I can also roleclaim safely then and I will tell you that I have a very useful role that can help us coordinate to win this game. there is also no chance that i will die as mayor so plague doctors would not need to waste their night action on me and can protect other people

i'm a huge target for my experience and value to the town, why not get me protected so medics can protect somebody. i'd like to see our experienced players survive the night (infundi, ace, bumatlarge, fishball, brownbear, etc.)


So, your running for mayor because your "clearly town aligned"(hmm... look at this post so far). You say your a huge target from mafia, yet also say so is fishball, and both of you would have to be rolechecked(actually can't -.-). So you really have no reasons other than you would later reveal you can be confirmed, but that's in high question right now.

i'm the only candidate aside from node who is claiming to offer 100% proof that I am not mafia when I'm elected, just saying

you have offered nothing yet have a huge bandwagon behind you for whatever reason


1.No bandwagon. And 2 people not explaining enough is not a "huge bandwagon."

I would really really like for you to make me feel comfortable voting for you for mayor. but your doing a bad job so far.

let me put it this way

there is a 1/39 chance i will fail in confirming my role to the town

there are multiple ways i can prove my identity over the course of the day. so you would rather vote pandain who offers nothing? you're doing a bad job at discrediting me. considering that mafia are probably shitting their pants over the idea of a confirmed townie with great coordination powers become immune to nightkills I'm not surprised someone is trying their best

FoS

And these other ways of confirming your self are?
And I did offer stuff, I just don't outright claim it because there's a good chance I wouldn't be elected, and I don't want mafia to have any more information about me than neccesary.

Four hour difference. Not exactly way way back if you ask me.

I'm just pointing out that you say there is no reason someone should vote Pandain, yet hours earlier you voted Pandain and gave a reason.

which i then discarded as bad when i changed my mind

4 hours is a lot of time in this game. I voted for Pandain because I felt wary about Fishball and at the time there was really no other viable candidate, since I thought bumatlarge was out of the race. If I didn't think that I would have gladly voted for bum instead.

I decided then the best thing to do would be to run myself and have since grown increasingly more suspicious of pandain based on the actions of his supporters who have thus far given little to no reason to vote for him

1.No person voted for me again after you did, meaning that couldn't have changed your mind there.
2.You say I'm a viable canidate, yet now say I offer nothing.

so far we have 3 people who most likely to be mayor: Pandain, fishball, Dr.h

Panda: i think he would be the most reasonable choice since his first election post looks really clean o.O or as Dr.H said: "transparent"

Fishy: i dont know about this guy... he claimed that he has some sort of mason going on... and i dont trust any group of towny... there is always important information in there being shared and there always could be a spy.... really fishy

Dr.H: lots of people voting for him since he has some great posts on what he would do once he become a mayor. Let me tell you: He has never been a towny b4 in the history of mafia => he is a Veteran mafia and a shitty towny (no offends). Those people who did bandwagon and vote for him could easily be a group of mafia just voting for their leader... Dr.H will be my Last choice what so ever.

for now, i will keep my vote on my self and consider to change it on to the most reasonable person in the end!


you really think i could be mafia?

do you understand how outrageously fucking stupid I would be to play like this as mafia? not only would i have to consistently out my scumbuddies throughout the course of the game to the entire town but I would have to fake a beneficial blue role that I promised already shows real numerical results that cannot be faked

I am tying the noose around my neck to be hanged if I am lying.

How can you call me a shitty towny if I've never been a towny and you don't even suspect I'm townie in this game. Hilarious post.


Every time he says to lynch him if he's lying just makes me cringe. Because now we're at an impasse where he can just continously say "just wait one more night" while he leads us around bandwagoning people who I think are innocent.

Why does that make you nervous? I can prove to the entire town that I am town aligned. If I don't do that, simply lynch me.

Why would you vote for a low key mayor that isn't offering anything with the role when I am handing the town a blue-confirmed mayor who can coordinate on a plate? Why wouldn't you want that?

Fishball doesn't need the mayor role to scumhunt within his small group whereas my plan is for open coordination, immunity from death would be important. By no means do I think it's a bad idea to vote for Fishball.

I find it strange that you bring him up considering you said both him and myself are undeserving of your vote.

So let me turn that around for a bit if I may. If Fishball claims to have a circle of players and that his ability will help him figure out their alignments then why should we vote for bumatlarge. And why would you vote for pandain over fishball? '


I responded to the bolded already.

I'm voting for bumatlarge because I don't see any negatives with him. With you and Fishball I do. I've also already explained about Pandain.


It just seemed out of place that you would bring up fishballs candidacy as a point against me when you're against him as well, rather than asking why people should vote for me over bumatlarge instead

Because people don't have to believe your going to do what you say? I think you're better off trying to show us from another angle why you need to be Mayor. With you and Fishball both saying you have to be mayor because of your role it's actually killing your chances imo.


So what's my plan then, assume for a minute I'm scum. To lie about proving I'm town, get elected, use the 1 lynch, and then die for the lie? Sacrifice myself for a single kill?


1.) That wasn't being used as a point against you. I was talking about you, Fishball and Pandain as the remaining candidates who didn't have my vote. Nothing to do with bumatlarge.

2.) If you're Scum, get Mayor, lynch someone - how do you die? I don't know what roles are in the game and neither does anyone else. The name of the game is INSANE Mafia. Maybe you're scum with a role that can do something and look Pro-Town? I don't know and honestly, even if I did know the roles in the game that doesn't mean I'm going to take you at your word. There have been plenty of games where Scum says they promise to do something, like oh kill themselves and then WALLA! Something else happens, the Scum spin it to show that there is a better idea and the Scummy Martyr goes free. I'm not in the business on playing for promises.


I am saying I am 100% able to prove I have a not scummy role and if I am found in any way to be lying, the town can lynch me. You don't have to take me at my word but this is a huge gambit I'm taking with a very small payoff if I am mafia.

Would you prefer I simply roleclaim now?

Please, can we finally make him stand up to his word? I've called him out so many time's he's contradicted himself, lied, or greatly misled.


3. Has played anti town.

He has continously played as if scum, leading town by his own hands. He claims to have lynched YM, then sinq is lynched, and he defends YM. He claims to be able to be 100% confirmed, yet now there is no way of knowing whether he is town or not and now he claims he knew he wouldn't be, but he was lying/not telling "for the good of town." I'm sorry, soaking up a POTENTIAL ROLEBLOCKER WHICH MIGHT NOT EVEN EXIST is not a good reason to run on a campaign. Dr. H. He has fished, given poor reasoning, and I'm sure I would find more evidence but believe I have found enough in his first 100-200 posts. If anyone really isn't convinced, I will submit more evidence, albeit relunctantly. Let's see:

im assuming mayor has bodyguards

mayor should be an experienced player since mafia will try to hit experienced players first.


Yes they will. I like and don't like this post at the same time. On one side, he's neglecting a very important and perhaps the most important aspect of being mayor: being protected as long as you have a bodyguard, which is really useful for important blue roles. On the other hand, it is a good point to protect expierenced players, albeit I am obviously cautious since he later ran for mayor. Part of my conspiracy portion of the brain thinks he was just setting up for him claiming, but that cannot be proven one way or the other. Next

mayor should be an experienced player so we have an experienced player that is protected. medics should also protect our most experienced/best players (ace, bumatlarge, brownbear, infundibulum, etc.)

i'm voting for bumatlarge since he's the best one running currently



Onoes more conspiracy in mah brain. I agree Jcarl shouldn't be mayor for those reasons, for orgolove he doesn't really give any explanations so that makes me cautious....(but perhaps true, I don't want to be mean :p).
Again says we should protect expierenced players. I'm going to note this, he's basically saying perhaps the most important aspect of mayor that should function in this town is in its aspect to help expierenced players. This is true, albeit I'm unsure of whether that should be the most important. It seems logical to me that mafia would shoot an inexpierenced Mafia-revealer(best role ever) vs. an expierenced townie.

Hey all, sorry I'm late. Just got off my flight from Liquidvania. You wouldn't believe the lines. People must be dying to get out of there (sorry I couldn't resist.)

I haven't decided who to vote for as Mayor yet, but I do have two requests.

First off, I would like to see an additional person claim from this "secret 6 person circle". If it exists, odds are incredibly likely that a mafia member is one of the members. If that's the case, then the mafia already knows the identities of all six members. So what harm is there to come forth to the town identifying yourself?

Secondly, I would like to hear how the Mayor plans to use their first day lynch. Will it be based on the majority opinion of the town, a suspicious set of posts during the first 48 hours, or a power player you are intimidated by? Do you already have an idea of who you want to use it on? In order for a candidate to receive my vote, I require they address this issue.

Good luck all ^_^

not just an additional person, everyone in the circle should claim. mafia doesn't have incentive to kill them for it so it's all good.


NO! BAD! This is a very anti town move. Pms were, and even with 3 of Fishball's member's dying, are one of the greatest things town has right now. Why? Town circle, obviously. Telling everyone to claim just allows mafia to snipe people off, while giving town really no useful info when just one person claiming would have the same result. this is very suscipcious.

what are you offering aside from that? i'm pretty sure everyone running is gonna roleclaim when they are elected.

Actually, from a sense, I do need the Mayor role to scum hunt "within my small group", especially after I've decided to come out, there is no turning back.

It will all make sense when you know my role.



Is medic protection not enough?

If you are killed then wouldn't that increase suspicion on certain members of the group within the group itself?

Do you know the names of other players in the group and if so can you say who they are since they won't claim themselves? Otherwise there is really no reliable way to confirm your town alignment other than a DT check.


Fishes for town circle, trying to find it out. Why would town do this, it would only reveal to the mafia a town circle so they can snipe it. Yet Dr. H is trying to get him to reveal the list.

As for people bringing up the idea of having the circle come forward, I've put some thought into it.

If the circle remains hidden to the public, the Mafia can try to remain within and get as much intel as possible, while we'll be trying to do the same thing as well. If the circle comes public, the Mafia might as well off these members one by one. Keep in mind, there is a chance that there are no Mafia members in the circle (though very not likely), but regardless of this possibility, Mafia can plant confusion among the remaining members, and mislead the town.

Also, if the circle comes forward and god forbids, gets eliminated, it would defeat the entire purpose.

I'm not exactly against this idea, but I just want everyone else to think it through a bit more and provide more input, possibility a better alternative. At the end, this would not be my decision, but the other players'.

PS. A correction I have to make. I said I've came in contact with 4 other players earlier, this was a mistake. I've only came in contact with 3. The remaining 2 have not contacted me. This does not mean they haven't contacted each other, which I would not know.


As far as I see it if Mafia start killing off town aligned members of the circle, they incriminate themselves really in the end. This puts a lot of pressure on mafia as to how they choose their kills and they have to very carefully consider their activity within the circle.


Very bad reasoning. Mafia couldn't incriminate themselves since we wouln't know who killed them.

While I agree with this posts, and some of the points you made, I disagree that lynching our mayor on day2 is a smart idea. Can we at least give him one more night? Maybe he'll make something of his role, he'll get some sort of confirmation, etc.

He is one of the FEW who has claimed, so he should be easier to confirm/bury than the rest, don't you agree?

It just seems unreasonable for me to lynch the mayor after one day of ruling, that is all. Please let me know what we have to lose if we give him one more night/day to perhaps clear his name?

1.If there is a roleblocker, they'll just keep on roleblocking him.
2.If there's not(or if he is mafia), then he can just continue to claim he is/claim the other person is lying.
He's claimed like, two different things that he says his role can do, but says they can't now. And I also disagree that just because he's mayor we shouldn't lynch him, on the contrary, mafia having two votes is a bane for the town.

You say he probably just made an honest mistake? what makes you believe this? I feel I've pointed out a huge inconsistency in Aeres' defense and everyone seems to be ignoring it.

Is the inconsistency where Aeres says he hopes that DC isn't the body guard? This makes sense, he assumes DC soft claimed (so did a lot of other people) so he decides to fake claim to draw a hit. Then he says he hopes DC wasn't the body guard after all and that the real second body guard is hidden. This makes sense, under his false claim he's trying to trick the mafia further by adding a third person into the body guard mix. This all made sense from his perspective when I try and put myself in his shoes it seems like a logical strategy.

Regarding Pandains post; I don't think we should lynch Doc H tonight, he's still to valuable if he's telling the truth. We need to lynch either Aeres or YM, I've already stated I think YM should be lynched because I think he's more likely to be scum but if we lynch Aeres and he flips town then it tells us just about the same thing as a YM lynch: we need to look at Doc H.

If YM is blue or Aeres is red then I'm completely lost


If, if, if IF! I don't see how everyone can be so oblivious to how transparent Dr. H has been. IF he's telling the truth, then he'll never be able to confirm it since mafia will keep roleblocking him. The only way we could get him to confirm is if mafia does not have roleblocker and Jcarl lied, but I find that highly unlikely.

And I disagree with Dr. H being lynched not telling us about other people. It gives us insight about YM and Aeres, and in addition we can't lynch YM(I'm pretty sure he has a role which means he can't be lynched.)

unless they cant roleblock twice in a row
fair point, but I'm not just going to keep you alive because you *may* confirm yourself if i think your scum.
2.If there's not(or if he is mafia), then he can just continue to claim he is/claim the other person is lying. that assumes i made my role up. i already explained why this is a ridiculous assumption. stop making me say the same obvious things over and over again to prove you wrong Just thinking of Caller's insane busdriver claim, I wouldn't be suprised if you can do the same. Also, you don't neccesarily have to have made it up. You could've known about it from previous games(even outside TL), you could still have the role and BE mafia, and so forth.
He's claimed like, two different things that he says his role can do, but says they can't now.no i didn't read my post And I also disagree that just because he's mayor we shouldn't lynch him, on the contrary, mafia having two votes is a bane for the town. assuming i am mafia which you seem to have done read my post


If, if, if IF! I don't see how everyone can be so oblivious to how transparent Dr. H has been. or how transparent you have been in your attempts to make me look bad You can counter argue me by saying I'm scummy, but I trust in the faith of the town to believe arguments, not blind statements IF he's telling the truth, then he'll never be able to confirm it since mafia will keep roleblocking him. why do you assume the mafia have infinite roleblocks? you've made a lot of assumptions about powers mafia have throughout this game that a townie would have NO way of knowing for sure. THAT's suspicious. I don't think I've played a game where roleblocker couldn't roleblock more than once. In addition, knowing how Artanis phrased it(in a traditional game...) and the fact this is not makes me think they indeed can.The only way we could get him to confirm is if mafia does not have roleblocker and Jcarl lied, but I find that highly unlikely. or there was another role that blocked what I had done such as a bus/redirector/commuter/hider Meaning you would've poked someone else, no? And I'm pretty sure Jcarl would say something if he was commuter/hider or something. And what's a redirector?

And I disagree with Dr. H being lynched not telling us about other people. It gives us insight about YM and Aeres no it doesn't, it's all WIFOM smoke and mirrors. If I'm mafia Aeres could be a bus. Both YM and Aeres defended me and Aeres defended me more, who's more suspicious in this case? Neither., It can still give info. If you flip scum, then anyone who defends you will be looked upon with suscipcion. Ignoring that aspect of the game is silly. and in addition we can't lynch YM(I'm pretty sure he has a role which means he can't be lynched.)you're prettttty sure? lol bullshit. he could be unlynchable (which typically works once), judas, or saulus, or a new insane role that artanis invented. worthless speculation and another possible soft fish for a roleclaim. he said "I would defend myself but I don't feel the need. I took that to mean he will not be lynched again,.

Alright, let me put this plainly.

There is no reason Aeres would lie if mafia. If Aeres was mafia, then the only reason he would fake claim bodyguard is if mafia wanted to kill DXCII and Dr. H. But, as we see, neither of those died.
So there is no reason Aeres would fake claim bodyguard if he was mafia.

If he was town, however, Aeres would discourage mafia from shooting mayor(if Dr. H wasn't :p), and even himself because he roleclaimed the hiding role.


Aeres is not mafia.

I would say that if DrH fails to confirm himself this night phase.

This is the part where I say "I told you so"

And the part where I go batshit crazy. Seriously, we don't fucking lynch FOR BAD TOWNIE PLAY, WE LYNCH FOR SCUM PLAY. It was pretty obvious that aeres did the former.

So I really want to lynch the people who started the bandwagon now, but I guess it will have to wait until next day phase.

i interpreted it as scum play

his gambit didn't really make sense as it described it but I suppose he just didn't think it through and acted on impulse. it made him look scummy to me and unlike others in the bandwagon I was the only one who bothered to explain why I thought he was scum rather then just yelling LYNCH ALL LIARS over and over again.

Alright, let me put this plainly.

There is no reason Aeres would lie if mafia. If Aeres was mafia, then the only reason he would fake claim bodyguard is if mafia wanted to kill DXCII and Dr. H. But, as we see, neither of those died.
So there is no reason Aeres would fake claim bodyguard if he was mafia.

If he was town, however, Aeres would discourage mafia from shooting mayor(if Dr. H wasn't :p), and even himself because he roleclaimed the hiding role.


Aeres is not mafia.

Unfortunately I have a time limit on the amount of time I can play so I can't respond to your post as of now :/ .

Expect it tommorow

We need medics to protect dxcvii, he's the only person who we really KNOW is going to get hit. If anyone's in a town circle with medics, make sure to coordinate them so at least one person(prefferably one) is protecting him.

Good catch with Coagulation, infinite.

But regarding me, I admit I was wrong about Dr. H since he has obviously confirmed himself. But honestly I was in doubt as to whether he would actually do it, and if I think someone is mafia, I'm not just going to let them live.

lol. Depending on who dies tonight, I think he might be the scummiest player in the game. I remember he said he could confirm himself, just like Dr.H did and so far he has never made mention of that fact again.

hope he gets a vig to the face. Otherwise he just a player causing arguments that lead no where and distract town from the vibrant display of information we have. Aeres first though.

What do you think of Pandain?


Read from top up; After browsing through the last 20-30 pages, I find Pandain to be the most scummy right now. His last 2 notable posts are:
1.

I find it quite scummy how he is trying to give directions to the blue roles, while also trying to have the medics mass save this one person. He tries to cover this up by telling PM circles to coordinate, but he knows full well that several PM circles (fishball and bumatlarge for now) have gone to hell. Ya, and we ended up saving him, no? And clearly my post says not for everyone to protect him, that would be retarded. And also, wtf, fishball and bum weren't dead then.

2. He made an enormous post about how Dr.H is oh so terrible and scummy (on page 109), but it seems apparent to me that Dr.H has already roleclaimed and proven (sorta, not 100% sure) that he is what he is. Also, Pandain has no evidence of being pro-town besides his extreme insistence of lynching the mayor. No duh, this was before and really he WAS suscipcious, I mean, look at my post on him and I believe it is perfectly logical. He did explain alot of stuff, but until he succesfully confirmed someone he was on my scum list.
3. He parrotted divinek (mafia) ---- Basically quoted from Dr.H

Basically, I think Pandain is mafia because of his insistence on assaulting Dr.H, but lacks comprehensive evidence that he is pro-town.
Pandain mentioned that he would have enough evidence to come forth on day 2 or day 3. Isn't that a blatantly obvious stall for time? If he is DT or ANYTHING he should be able to prove himself HERE and NOW, rather than need several days to compile evidence of his non-guilt. He basically took all the arguments about undefined role against him, and "postponed" them so that he could instead hound Dr.H on what HIS role is. Wrong again. It's a fact because of my role. Just like how infinite stories role contains "indirect" confirmation(can only really confirm himself if he finds scum) my role is like that. And the point of Dr. H was that he WAS supposed to be able to confirm himself night one. I clearly said my role couldn't.

I'd prefer if someone proved me wrong, but this is what I managed to conclude after reading for like 20-30 minutes of the forum.

I may add more later.

I think the fact that Pandain has 6 pages (100 posts each) of posts mostly to do with his interaction with DrH, then starting to lurk after the attention was brought on him indicates a little bit of his scumminess, don't ya think?

Lucky break with the mafia retard. I honestly thought infinitestory was more scummy than most others.


Honestly if not for the fact a Judas role woudl be incrediably OP for town, I would've highly suspected you of being mafia. I mean, here's the gist of your argument against me:
"Just stop, I hate reading long posts. Analytical posts are crap. I'm not going to debate your arguments but they're crap."

Hang on, he says his role is ADD Detective but he RNGs a target. But the ADD Doctor has a 10% chance of killing his patient if his patient wasn't 'sick'. Shouldn't that make an ADD Detective a Detective that gets a wrong reading 10% of the time?

Food for thought, don't look into it too much (yet).

meh, I doubt it's exactly the same. I'm inclined to believe him because he fished for other ADD DT's in the same way I did for other stickys.

I'd think it's more likely he has a 100% chance of investigating correctly, since orgolove actually had a 100% chance of saving right?

Yeah but I'm just saying there's the possibility of him lying about his roleclaim, since I've never seen an ADD role that wasn't a "x% chance of getting the opposite result" type of thing. Oh well Coagulation's mafia anyway, bus or not so no use worrying about it now.

By the way, Pandain voted at 10:06 TL time and hasn't posted in this thread (I was giving him time to post before writing this). At a time where someone should be defending themselves heavily instead of lurking like he is, I think it's fair to say he's either not playing well or he's very scummy.

Or I'm reading everything here and responding to it. I had to catch up like ~10 pages. In addition to the fact a new page occurs every like 3 minutes -.-.

Finally, remember confirming a players role ability != confirming a players alignment.


i think it's beyond silly to say they can be assuredly confirmed in any way. There is got to be a high chance of having some kind of framer role, and what better choice than a mayor that's trying to say hey guyz i can be verified

I can prove my role is what I say it is without having to be rolechecked and if anyone tries to fake a rolecheck on me they'll be incriminated when I prove them otherwise.


I can't fathom any way you can do this that doesn't involve the possibility of you just getting your mafia buddies to help you do whatever it is you say you can do

I dont like the idea of just picking someone for what they say they are able to be or capable of. I'm more inclined to go with someone who has shown they can actually be useful instead of spewing confirmability.

Whatever it is you say you can do to confirm yourself i have no doubt the host put in something to make it possible to compromise the integrity of your claim. It's silly that you could try to be concrete on something so unknown to anyone.

I would rather have someone leading with clearly good intentions and capable of doing something instead of saying well guys i can be confirmed, cause once someone gets elected the spot lights so heavy it's ridiculous anyway



can i also note he's making some of the exact same arguments pandain is making now?


Also wtf these are basically different arguments.

1.He was saying this before you had failed to poke someone, I only questioned you after failed to confirm yourself.

Actually, in fact, he would be pro towards you, since he would defend the fact you had been unable to confirm. I was questioning the fact whether you could do this at all, Divinek was opposing you because he felt your role might not be actually useful in those scenarios.

You didn't even address one thing. Not one thing. And honestly, I spent time into those. I don't like people saying its crud.

Why hasnt Dr.H?

And why are you the FIRST PERSON in the game to claim this?
Also, at least giving details on the CONDITIONS that need to be achieved so you can confirm your role would be nice, instead of this vague stuff we keep getting.

Honestly I'm a bit confused about what you're saying here. Can you clarify?

I did it when you brought me under suspicion. Now it's your turn :D


Alright, actually I might as well roleclaim since in all honesty either you or Infinitestory is going to die tonight, so I'm pretty safe.

I'm trash collector. Every night I find out the results of a random person's alignment.

No. Mafia knows who is blue and you can spend as long as you want confirming townies to us and then later bus a mafia.

Is there any flavor text in your Role PM that explains the significance of the title trash collector?


I look through their trash and see if they've been doing bad things

Hmm...but then wouldn't I die? So in that scenario at the most I'd die for one town?

@Dr.H: No point in even going further with this. Let's go back to Day 1:

When Dr.H claims that he has a role that can confirm himself to be town, Pandain also does the same. Pandain also says even if he doesn't get Mayor, he'd be able to do this.

Now, it's Day 3 and Pandain doesn't reveal the result of any of this until now. When I read his posts on Day 1, it sounded like his role could be instantly confirmed pro-town and not something that would rely on random chance.

So if Pandain knows his role relied on random chance then why did he seem so sure he could confirm himself easily?


1.I said it would take a couple days
2.I said it would be indirect

Wasn't Pandain's main 600 post argument against DrH the fact that he 'lied' and he couldn't confirm himself 100% because he got roleblocked?

Now it's day 3 and Pandain can't confirm himself which is a bigger lie than DrH's? Does this not strike you as fucking stupid at all Pandain? Couldn't you have come up with a better argument/roleclaim?


First of all I still don't see how if I find mafia that doesn't confirm me. Now obviously at most I could do if mafia would be to claim a townie was mafia, and then they get lynched. But then next day, I get lynched. That is definitely not beneficial for mafia.

@KtheZ, we're actually different roles, his is in fact even better than mine :/

If you say it would take a couple of days and be indirect:

Then how come you felt so strongly against Dr.H if you're own role wouldn't be so powerful? Those are 2 weak reasons to claim you can confirm yourself pro-town when you made it seem so good. How is that better than a Vigilante claiming he could shoot the scummiest person to confirm himself?


I felt strongly against Dr. H because my role was actually working, while he had no results. He was playing incrediably scummy imo.

As for Dr. H, I still don't see how it would be beneficial AT ALL for mafia. The one thing I could see now was if I claimed mafia were confirmed, then later outed a real mafia. Then it would seem the original mafia was confirmed. Hmm....

The main purpose of a DT check is to check ALIGNMENT. Other tidbits are just useful to know.
Having two ALIGNMENT DTs in a game doesnt make sense. For example, in haunted mafia(which i failed epically and will make up for), there were 2 dts for 60 people. Now, considering that we have ~ 30-40 people, I find it Extremely unlikely that town has TWO RANDOM ALIGNMENT CHECKERS. For all we know, you could be scum; you never claimed alignment (But you'll obviously claim town). And for all we know you could be lying about your role, your role actions, or anything you want.


I could be lying about anything. Same can be said for everyone. Note I don't find out his role, which is why I'm sort of pissed off at Artanis for giving me this role.
