I'm an interrogator. What is that? I can vote somebody to be lynched, and I will be allowed to exchange pm's with the person I voted for the rest of the day. I'm going to vote Amber so I can talk to him and get to the bottom of this whole situation. I don't see anybody else who i feel like pm'ing today to be perfectly honest. My role is not that powerful, I am not a powerful player. Me claiming can only be good for town. Scum won't hit me(I think) because my role is far less powerful than some of the other roles currently in play. They also have far better/more experienced people to hit than me. If anyone has a problem with my claim please say so, but i feel like this is the correct decision to make at this stage. | ||

1.) Usually but not always. I did warn you that things move fast  2.) Day1 lynches usually degenerate into lynching inactives, however with good scumhunting its sometimes possibly to pin down and lynch mafia 3.) Things that help us find scum. Basically limit yourself to discussing things that force you to commit to and opinion on someone. For example, if you say you really think _____ is town and defend them heavaly for three days and then they flip mafia, well then we have a lead. | ||

I don't see a problem with a claim, but if non-scum created his role and he's lying in an anti-town way, that shit better get smacked right away. Call the bullshit if this role aint true. But while no one calls you, I'm gonna assume you're cool. Can I get a fistpound bro? #Fistpound: redFF | ||

2. We do our best to analyze and hope scum slip. 3. Things that will help us find scum and create a pro-town atmosphere. Call out lurkers, ask players questions/thoughts on the game or other players.

Finally, we've got lucky number 3: Here, Shcoleosis basically says: "you seem to disagree with me... fine, you're right!" Agreeing with everybody else is something that two kinds of players do: -unhelpful townies -because they're just being sheep -mafia -because they're trying to blend in I don't want either in my town come lategame. Based off of this analysis, I'd like to start putting some pressure on Shcoleosis. Until a better target surfaces or she comes up with some good posts later on, I'll put my vote on her. ## Vote Shcoleosis But now, compare it to the worthlessness that is VarpuliS this game: Silly idea from a silly man, we don't want to tell the mafia what kind of roles we designed, we don't need to give mafia info to work with man... Here he's just backing off cause y'know, this VarpuliS aint got no balls, now he just afraid like a little bitch. Then he goes on and tries to communicate with the dog for a while, that's just silly derailing, I ain't buying that shit. And then man, the worst of all... A goddamn excuse? A real man, a man that aint got nothin' to hide just sticks to his guns and grabs his balls of steel and says, yo, look, I'm smarter than you bro, so just shut up. No, this bro aint no baller, this bro is a damn scum. This is an example of a good post. Not only did it discuss and analyze a player to help provide input from multiple players (which is always a good thing), it started further discussion. | ||

That's vague enough that nobody should be able to tell that they got the role that you're pointing out, but specific enough to be useful.

About the Zodiac lists: At this point they just seem to be lists of strong vets, and I don't know you guys well enough to make an informed list. BC has looked pro-town, as have you. Not really sure who else. Sandroba, maybe. he's proven to be a good player, and his posts have been mostly good, barring the claiming plan. I'd like to know why specifically kita is voting for me. Is it because of my bad posting? I'll try to work on that. Specifically, I'm going to be quiet, because I'm not really sure what to do. what does NoC stand for? A goddamn excuse? A real man, a man that aint got nothin' to hide just sticks to his guns and grabs his balls of steel and says, yo, look, I'm smarter than you bro, so just shut up. No, this bro aint no baller, this bro is a damn scum. Different circumstances, man! a nine man game where the scum slips easily, there are no experienced players, and the only thing to talk about is whether or not we should policy lynch lurkers is way different from a 30 man game where everybody's got a batshit insane role and are discussing roleclaims and zodiac lists (which I had never heard of). This is the most vet-filled and spammy game I've played in so far. With all the talk about amber and zodiac lists, I can't find any real scumtells yet. So yes, I'm being less assertive. Does that mean I'm scum? no. oh, btw, loving the WifoM on whether I'm scum based on a joke in the beginning of the game. Coming back to bite me now, aint it? | ||

Who does everyone think is most likely to be town. from their posts alone? Who hasn't posted yet who you would have expected to post? This post especially makes me think that he's town. It encourages discussion, posting opinions, and keeps us on-topic. | ||

I can think of multiple situations where this role can be rather powerful. Even in the case you wanted to talk to Amber, I don't think you should have role-claimed.  Well, what's done is done. I hope you do not get hit by lightning and no one else follows suit in pointless role-claims. :| | ||

The chances of the mafia being unlucky enough to have given each others roles is very slim. Therefore I propose this: If somebody claims in the thread, whoever gave that role needs to look at the claim carefully. If it lies or is an entirely different role, announce you gave that person the role in the thread. This way we can catch fakeclaims. However, this won't be very effective later in the game because the people who gave the roles will be dead, and the possibility of fakeclaiming will be much less likely. For example, I'm much more inclined to trust redff1's roleclaim if nobody claims today... since everybody will read it and the real person who gave Red's role will undoubtedly counterclaim. tldr; if your person claims a fake role in thread, say so. otherwise stfu and let them be. | ||

I also find it interesting that you complain about spam while the entirety of your posting in this thread is fluff. I already did. They are just lists of players who have played the most games. A couple are fine, but we don't need all 30 players making a list without posting content. @tnkted, you still didn't provide an alternative. Also, your plan is common sense. | ||

Nobody is gonna claim that they gave redFF his role today or else they might just suffer the wrath of Zeus. This game is pretty crazy but I think that everybody might be very confused. Nobody's got a clear picture of the game, they only know how crazy their own role is and how crazy a role they gave to somebody. And what is this system really going to accomplish? Can't people just say "he's is fake roleclaiming" instead of saying this in a predetermined semi-convoluted way? | ||
