Can the Qatol role ban the powers of the pardoner?

Mayor and Pardoner are not considered roles, they are considered elected offices. So yes, the Qatol role can ban the Pardoner/Mayor, but it would only remove the powers given to them by their role (the one they picked). They would still retain their mayor/pardoner powers.

There are 4 parties. Framer can make his target look like any one of them

I think he meant 5th party. From your answer, is it safe to assume framing as 5th party isn't possible?

If a framer redirects someone into another person, does that mean that the target is actually redirected, or that it simply APPEARS that the target is redirected?

i.e. if a vanilla townie were redirected to an NRA member by a framer, would that vanilla townie then die or would it simply appear to a tracker that the vanilla townie visited the NRA member that night?


In addition, you may also choose to have your framed target visit anyone you choose. Any actions they perform will also be misdirected.


The action(s) are performed so it sounds like a safe assumption that all roles are forced to visit

I'm awfully suspicious of anyone making assumptions on role picks without considering the 3 scum teams which drastically changes things. For instance, KP roles are much more reliable and therefore stronger, while non-self defensive roles might actually be better for mafia. Both doctor and medic allow one member to really scum-hunt with everone's help and they will most likely not die. Self defensive roles might be the best genre of role, for both town and mafia.

One great aspect is that opposing scum teams will probably overlap roles that mafia would normally take for free if town didn't actively deny it. Mafia won't be wasting time denying town roles at this point so I think grabbing these roles assures we will get a better assortment then any one scum team.

+ Show Spoiler +
Ace - Lie is the big word here
America - Spotlight role, causes confusion most of the time but puts a focus on America from all factions.
Assassin - Because you can't name GREEN, I think it's much better for town, as it has a safeguard if they repeatedly name RED. A less restricted CV role is better for scum.
Bad Santa - With more inherent KP, I think this is pretty good information grab for town that doesn't necessarily need to be used, while for mafia, it's maybe 1 kill or just some info that's more easily attainable with other roles.
Bullet Bill - Great town role, and I don't see mafia's use for this.
Day Vigilante - similar to america, spotlight and such.
Detective - alignment is useless to mafia, while this will be more sought after then other role finders
Dreamflower - Town will risk killing themselves instead of another townie, mafia will not :D
NKVD Agent - alignment no role
Parity Cop - alignment no role
Puppeteer - A strong scumhunter at the bottom of the list could make good use of this, and I believe you can PM the smurf?
Tracker - Information
Watcher - Information


These roles I feel a scum team has much less use for then town does. If you are town and not sure what to pick, I suggest picking one of these roles, as they help town by nature, or are useless or spotlight driven to mafia. It can be argued that mafia could take one of these roles to appear pro-town, but between having to prove themselves to us and not getting nailed by enemy scum requires a lot of work that could easily collapse. I feel like we are much to vigilant for this sort of thing to slip by us. I think I know what I'm talking about here because I have tried it many times as scum
I wouldn't attempt it in this set-up.

Of that list, I disagree with a couple of points-
Assassin can kill by role, and has some good synergies with things like extractor/NKVD, I don't think it belongs on a pro-town list despite it's drawbacks.
A scum team that could manipulate town gains a huge advantage over it's rivals, so we shouldn't rule out the possibilty of information roles being taken even if they don't benefit scum directly.

I'm going to prioritize my vote based on who the mayor will lynch day 1, and the candidates position in the draft order (Alongside filtering out people who seem scummy of course).
The draft order thing is because if the person is scum, they are less likely to have a top tier role, and therefore can't abuse their power to the same extent. Any candidates seeking my vote should provide this information

Platforms are irrelevant. Plans are irrelevant. What you say you are going to do with the lynch or pardons is irrelevant.

All that matters is denying the positions from scum.

I disagree.
We don't know which people are scum, and the more information you have on the candidates, the more informed your vote can be. As such, plans/platforms/foreseen actions are important. It also gives scum candidates more chance to slip up. And even if it was a vote between townies only, one will be a better choice than the others.

At this point in time, my top three likely votes are for wiggles/radfield/jimbo.
If you were on that list, please publicly state two things for me.
The first being who you would lynch right now and why, and the second is if you could choose mayor and pardoner now, excluding yourself, who would they be and why?

I'm up for putting Greymist in office, If his answer these is satisfactory I think he'd be best as pardoner, because that's the more powerful role of the two.

As for mayor. It's still between wiggles/radfield/jimbo, leaning on wiggles because he's the only one to have answered to both of these posts in the thread, and against jimbo because of his high spot in the drafting.

I'm going to go with voting wiggles.
I think someone we see as the best choice should come second and be pardoner, and I think greymist can secure enough votes to do that, and out of the others wiggles is my second preference.

And that implies that no matter what Radfield does, he needs to be killed off immediately since he's so unreadable.



??? So why would you vote him into a office that basically prevents him from getting killed on night cycles if he needs to be killed off immediately and he's unreadable? How would you read someone to decide if he's mafia or not if he's unreadable?


I'm making the point of the opposite. I don't want him killed off early purely for how good he is as mafia member.



What the fuuuck

This makes no sense whatsoever to me


That's because you took it out of context, he was talking about candidates using it as a reason, myself included. That said, I think he's right, Radfield seems like a good person to vote for. A large part of why I was voting Wiggles instead of Radfield is Radfield's excellent scum play.
That said, I will be voting Radfield.

If you are a weak doctor, you need to either telegraph who you are protecting, or outright tell someone(at like 1-2 minutes before the deadline). Telegraphing is preferable however.


This applies to every role that has any chance of giving us information.
Things like Hider/any DT's/weak medic should be breadcrumbing.

There's a few kp roles, perhaps we should discuss the merits of them breadcrumbing too, kind of like telegraphing kills so other people can't claim them later.

Unfortunatey, I'm not around for the next ~8 hours so I'm going to post this now:

If all you're going to contribute is trying to point out something that you want to be considered "scumtell" then I'd rather you just shut up.

Role-fishing is not a scumtell in itself, it's only if it's done in a scummy way that it isn't. You're trying to paint syllogism scum because you're not thinking.

This either makes you dumb or scum, and in both cases I actually don't mind you just shutting up.

Are you scum?

What exactly is your idea of a difference between scummy and non-scummy rolefishing?
