Don't breadcrumb/hint your personality for no reason as it's quite probable some of the roles can be figured out purely based on the name

What's the point in personality speculation and fishing at this stage? You should keep notes of your thoughts rather than voicing them in the thread unless you've a reason for it. The thread is already quite unreadable with all the supposed posting restriction related spam. Even if you have a posting restriction you don't have to be so obnoxious about it as there's always some leeway no matter what the PM stipulates.

What's the point of having such a posting restriction when you can apparently just say that it's just that, a posting restriction? Anyway, if you have a distracting posting restriction that doesn't stipulate that you can't announce it in the thread, you should go ahead and do it, especially if doesn't give away your personality.

That wasn't intended to you specifically, the main point being that I will consider hiding behind such restrictions suspicious later on.

Right, we got us here an interesting situation with the majority lynch rules. Unless we have a shortlist of targets by say 24 hours into the day, its going to be pretty fucking difficult to get anyone lynched.


there is no reason to ignore evidence that comes into play later than 24 hours into the day u know?

if your gonna just vote some stupid random person, then that's fucking scummy, but it only takes like 2-3 hours to switch the votes if we find scum later in the day.


Never said to ignore candidates after 24 hours, I said if we don't have a decent shortlist getting a lynch will be difficult. I also disagree that its possible to turnaround a lynch in 2-3 hours. Even with evidence that someone is 100% scum, because of different timezones its possible that you won't have enough people online. Couple this with the fact that you're never going to get absolute proof, whats more than likely to happen is people start to switch votes and we end up lynching nobody.

Anyone that comes in with 'new' evidence just before the deadline and tries to swing a lynch should be vigged. They should have presented the evidence earlier or shut up.

Yeah, Bum is right. I don't think that names and alignment would be linked directly, as it would break the set-up somewhat through mass name-claims. As well, how would we decide what names are what alignment? I see it as people would be able to just twist it as they see fit, as a lot of players have had good games as town and mafia, or can fit into both alignments. For example, Ace is given as an example role for town in the OP, but a lot of people would probably try to argue that he's mafia as well. It's a very insubstantial way of scum hunting that I think we should try to avoid. Anyone pushing for someone's lynch just based on their name is probably scummy. (Or dumb)

Also, deconduo had a good post about the lynch rules:

People not voting for one of the top three candidates at the end of the day should considered scummy as fuck, especially if we don't reach a majority. We can't have anyone throwing away a vote cos of tunnelling/stupidity/OMGUS. Each vote is vital.


I agree with his sentiment, that it will be vital to consolidate votes as the day goes on. We don't want a situation where the vote is split amongst several people each with only a few votes on them, as then we either waste our lynch, or we're forced to try to switch around votes right before the deadline, giving scum a good chance to manipulate the lynch right before it happens. I think a major factor in this, will be people needing to actually think and read, judging who's scummiest, and dropping "protestation" votes and pressure votes (that are for information) before the deadline is up.



-----


Jackal is likely telling the truth. He's been pushing for kurumi to be lynched ever since he claimed BM. Its quite unlike him to fake claim a restriction like that, and seeing as no one has CC'd L I believe him. This doesn't reflect on alignments at all, and in fact I would think its more likely for L to be a mafia personality than Bill Murray.

However it does us no good to have Kurumi troll, and if Jackal is forced to tunnel him then we have two people that are just posting trash. Lynching Kurumi solves this problem quite nicely. He should be one of the people on our lynch shortlist for sure.


So you think it's more likely Jackal is Mafia and Kurumi is Town but you want Kurumi lynched instead?

Hi there scum logic.


Read the post properly before commenting kthx. People are saying that Kurumi is scum because BM is a scummy personality. I said that L is more likely to be scum if personalities reflected alignment, which I believe they do not.


Please show me a single person that said Kurumi is scum because BM is a scummy personality.

That's his claimed posting restriction, as I'm sure you know, so what was the point of that exactly?

Let's see what he has to say.

You are smarter than this. Did you honestly read that "pm" and believe it was "intercepted" and real? How exactly would it have been intercepted, why would it be signed when the supposed recipient used an alias and even the content is ridiculous.

I don't buy pandain's explanation of the events. I haven't played with him before so I don't know how rationally he plays but it makes little sense to remove someone's powers, assuming that really happened, unless you think the person in question isn't town aligned. There are a few decent lynch candidates right now, but I'm going with him

Where is the flip? This is a majority lynch system, we've a bit over 7h until lynch and euros will have to go soon. We've to start consolidating votes soon and we need the flip first. If pandain flips town, scamp will definitely get my vote because even supposing he had a posting restriction that forces him to day vig someone on day 1, his reasoning was ridiculously bad.

To add to what kav and sandroba said, the fact that aidnai responded so quickly (28 minutes) to Kav's call out, despite not having posted at all before that, and then disappeared again is quite suspicious. I don't know how to interpret kav's roleplaying/pr, but regardless of that, aidnai seems like the best lynch, especially with pandain dying.

Oh, btw Curu, my guess for why Fishball brought out your roleclaim:
I'm a 1shot vigi that can only shoot people who claim roles/powers. Fishball wanted to note your roleclaim so that he can shoot you if need be.

The role and that statement makes no sense at all. If such a role exists, why would he be against people role claiming and how does "noting" the claimhave anything to do with him potentially shooting someone. Further, how would such a role know when someone is fake claiming? If it's a oneshot ability, why did you waste it on kurumi? Did you find him scummy? Also, he was banned, as in received a real 2 day ban, so it's not like spamming was going to be an issue. You are lying.

LOL! Are you serious? So I've been breadcrumbing my shot since I came into the game, claimed the extra KP, and this is all elaborately planned by mafia? No, I think you're just trying to instill doubt here when I'm obviously the vig who shot Kurumi. What other possible explanation do you have? How else could I have breadcrumbed the Kurumi shot beforehand? Eh?

It's not wasted at all. This is to show I won't tolerate spam. And if he's banned, he's a lurker now too! So let's see, shoot someone hurting town atmosphere. Check. Shoot lurker. Check. Clean up thread. Check. MY GOD, THAT'S SO ANTI-TOWN.

Noting the claim makes it indisputable that the person indeed claimed. Fake claim doesn't matter. If you claim in any way, I was allowed to shoot you. The exact word is roleclaimer, therefore anyone who claims a name/power. Authenticity doesn't matter.

Did any medics protect Kitaman?

What I'm trying to do is understand your motivations and so far the story hasn't really added up. It's very likely that you actually shot kurumi, the question is why and why your answers to sandroba were so strange. I disagree with the notion that shooting kurumi was a pro-town move; Kurumi would have likely been a) modkilled or b) replaced with a more active player and his play so far looked very much like his day 1 martyring/suicidal play in ptp2 as a townie. It was basically a wasted shot and allegedly your only one. Regardless, your reaction here looks more genuine than what I've seen from you so far.

Me and Sandroba were suspicious of Bum on day 1 and you've done nothing but to add to that suspicion today. There is no way whatever PR you may have is forcing you to play as you are; trolling, doing next to no analysis, randomly nuking players who are unlikely to be mafia and not discussing it beforehand. Further, hiding behind PRs is mafia territory anyway; as I previously noted, the restrictions have to be quite limited in scope and you should be able to work around them. I don't think Kav even flat out role claimed to be Chez. While Pandain is either completely clueless or very suspicious for his defence of you, you are by far the best lynch today. We'll deal with Pandain next, depending on how things go.

Sandroba is a ridiculously bad lynch. He spent day 1 voluntarily talking to me, and apparently a few others who know him well, over skype, which is something scumdroba would never do. Feel free to yell wifom, but it's just not a risk worth taking and in XLIII as scum he was much more reserved and inactive on skype, while here he came across genuine. Moreoever, Ver's power is, regardless of alignment, way too powerful not to be utilized. It's very unlikely that he is just faking the RB.

LOLWUT THATS EXACTLY WHAT HE DID DAY 1 OF TEAM FORTRESS MAFIA. YOU WERE TALKING TO HIM DAY 1 OF TEAM FORTRESS MAFIA. THERE WAS A HUGE LOG POSTED OF YOUR GUYS CONVERSATION IN TEAM FORTRESS MAFIA.

VOTE ME FOR MAYOR FFS.


sorry for caps.

You don't know him as well as I do; he wasn't talking much in that "huge log" and in addition he never talked to me in private, merely in that group conversation. Moreover, he was stuck talking to us at least a bit because not talking at all is suspicious given that we normally talk a lot, but this isn't a PM game, so he could have just chosen not to initiate PMs with me.

Incog, I apologize for always appearing so angry in my PM spam, despite most things going our way. As I said, I knew I was being unreasonable but I had to vent. I'm assigning some blame to flamewheel for saying you are easy to convince . Thanks for hosting, the setup had a lot potential for hilarity and some of that materialized.

We didn't play particularly well, but town was so awful I decided pretty early on that we can win just by lurking and not really by blatantly pushing the mafia agenda (cough). If curu hadn't been lucky with his night action, this might have been a flawless mafia victory. It turns out lurking apparently makes you less suspicious in the eyes of this town, not more.

The setup seemed mafia favored for once, but town did have a lot of KP and failed to use it properly. Sandroba's role was incredibly powerful, but he telling everyone about it on n1 wasn't a good, but I guess he was really paranoid about being hit and thought it was likely that one of the people he contacted early was mafia. We were quite afraid of a mass claim since a lot of town roles were likely confirmable and not very likely to be given to mafia. While comparing PMs isn't allowed, even matching vague role descriptions with appropriate personalities can be risky.

Perhaps the game was balanced around mafia losing some of their key roles early, but as that didn't materialize and town lost some of their own key roles early on, the balance shifted decidedly on n2. Town was warned against role/personality claiming, but kept doing it anyway. Tnkted strongly hinting that he had some kind of vote rigging role was the final nail in the coffin. We used our forced role claiming ability to make sure it really was that, as it was difficult to believe a townie would basically reveal their role during night, let alone end the day prematurely. The ability didn't force him to be truthful, but I suppose he thought that lying would just make things worse for him and didn't anticipate a role thief.

Also, town should have read through PYPI post game balance discussion to get an idea of the mafia roles that might be present in this setup. There was no speculation about the potential roles at all. When Kav suddenly blew up and "another" nuke went off, town just shrugged and moved on. It was possible to deduce based on that chain of events that it had to have been some kind of bomb, unless you thought plausible that he was day vigged AFTER he had already been nuked. Similarly it might have been possible to conclude Bum couldn't be mafia, but a flip framer is such powerful role when unexpected.

Special mention to Kav for his chezinu impression. We also regret that we had to take out the real one on n1.

fake edit: wow town had a lot of roles they never really used

Both sides sucked, and I had absolutely no idea who had the bc personality at first, factor in that I figured that since it was technically 8 vs town the chances of the bc personality being red were fairly high. As such me dying could have killed one of you guys, I had no way of knowing until i knew who all the red were that my "lynch" wouldn't rape a mafia.

Also you guys ruined all chances of me ever revealing myself to you the moment you had palmar out my role. Had I not been modkilled I wouldn't have done jackshit to reveal myself unless game made it to lylo and I was somehow still alive.

When mafia asks the traitor to do something, he should do it regardless of what he thinks is going on in the game. Clearly mafia has more information than you and as such can make a better assessment of the situation. Basically even without that lynch dodging thing, town couldn't lynch you or they would lose and we were going to have a medic on you if you had claimed.

e: i suppose your belief that BC could be a mafia personality is a reasonable explanation, but I don't think that was very likely
