On his claim I thought about the Miller knowing their role thing before the roles went out and figured that it really probably is the right play to tell town now as miller, in fact if it was most other people in this game I would take that as a pretty strong tell that he is in fact miller. But VE... Well I just actually finished a game that he was in and I hope he doesn't take offense when I say that he made a pants on head crazy claim in that game, I don't think that indicates that he's playing crazily here but of all of the players in this game he is literally the first person I would name as someone with the stones to claim miller as scum right from the start. On that line I'll say any other millers should claim now, if we have more than even 2 I would get very suspicious. Also I think it makes sense that he's saying not to check him, if he's making this claim it's obviously because he'll flip red, whether it's because he's miller or scum, he has no reason to say it if he wouldn't so any check would be totally wasted on him. | ||

Town should be keeping a super-close eye on me regardless of what I'm doing, exactly because of this claim. I'm not trying to "avoid examination", I'm trying to make the most of our DT checks. Are you saying that it would be beneficial to town somehow to "confirm" my claim by checking me only to lynch me later for me to flip exactly what I said I would? Is that what you're trying to achieve here? Having DT's actually check me? Because it seems like an awful waste to me, especially since your first reaction to the claim was "KILL IT!!!"...like, if all it's going to take is an off word or two to send me through the shredder, then why the hell WOULD a DT check me? Anyway, I'm open to suggestions as to how to handle it - I gave my suggestion. No actually, as a Miller, YOU DON'T FUCKING CLAIM. All you have to do as a Miller is seem as town-sided as possible to avoid inspection from cop, because in the end, the people most likely to get investigated will be people who are Mafia (just in general if we have a good cop). Okay, can I ask you something? Why would Miller claiming be good for the person claiming? In this game, where mafia is trying not to get killed, they would claim Miller. Additionally, Millers have the exact same power as Blues: nothing. They can only help in lynches. They seem aligned with mafia when under investigation, but that is only the balancing for the fact that mafia is outnumbered by town. So how the hell does it make any sense for you to claim Miller? And along with that, why would you claim Miller AND even state that your reads are more important that towns? | ||

If I'm a DT, I'm not going to check you. If I'm not a DT, I'm just going to ignore your claim for now and see whether or not you play like scum. You have a history of making claims at weird times as both town AND scum, so this doesn't tell me anything about your alignment. Your actions will. | ||

On the other hand, it's possible that he's mafia, that he's intelligent enough to know that somebody will investigate him, and that there is no framer or that he doesn't want the framer to be used to protect him. It's impossible to tell for now, but I think furerkip is being a bit rash in his decision. It's probably because he doesn't know of VE, as I would agree that the ordinary miller should probably stay quiet, act like town, and hope they aren't investigated. For now I'm thinking that he is actually the miller, because it would be a huge risk for a mafia and it would put them in the spotlight, but I agree that we should keep a close eye on him. | ||

Given furerkip's statement about how long VE's claim was, I decided to take a look at his previous claim in MTG Mafia to compare the length. On May 27 2012 08:04 VisceraEyes wrote: Cool. I'll be brief. I want you to lynch me if you PROMISE TO LYNCH BUGS NEXT. Everyone seems to think either Bugs or I am scum or that we both are. As such, if you guys have a handle on this outside the two of us, I prefer you just get us out of the way first so whoever is left is confirmed whatever. Please guys, no one is going to listen to anything I say at this point and I'm just a distraction. Remove it. Also I'm the Doctor, so if you don't lynch one of me or Bugs, I'm dead tonight anyway. Gg guys, sorry I allowed Bugs to mindfuck me so hard this game.  I had a null read on VE's claim at first because of the fact that both Millers and veteran mafia players should claim miller in a game where the miller is self aware, this does slightly push the case in favor of a mafia VE, but it's still a weak case. How VE will handle himself the rest of the game is going to be a lot more important. My concern however is that he shits up the thread regardless like he did in MTG Mafia where he tunneled WBG hard as town, and did the same as Toad as mafia, meaning that him tunneling someone isn't indicative of alignment. To be frank, I'm not sure how to read him. Why would Miller claiming be good for the person claiming? VE as a veteran is likely to get checked by a DT. By claiming early he prevents getting checked by a DT. We already know he would check red now regardless of whether he's lying or not, so a DT check is now useless. | ||

Wait what? What does 1 mislynch we can use on retarded townies mean? You should always always be lynching for scum. | ||

That's just proper game sense. If we use lynches to kill retarded town, then we avoid situations like that in the end game.

The question is whether he's mafia or a miller. | ||

No, we should always lynch the strongest scum suspects because anything else gives scum the possibility of a free ride just riding on someone who they can prove to be retarded. By just lynching people we think are scum they have to put their hand in the fire to try and prove someone else is scum. Scum doesn't have to lie to get a retarded townie lynched; they just point out he's acting retarded. A town atmosphere where lynching bad players is acceptable is horrible for town for that very reason.

We don't know how many millers there are. We don't know if Mafia has a framer or not. We don't know if there's a godfather or not. In NO way is VE flipping miller on a lynch good for town. | ||

Lynching townies is game ending on lynch or lose situations. Lynching bad townies on ML is actually okay in my experience. Makes for better 3-way lynches. As for the framer part, you have a good point. Anyways, it seems no one agrees with me, which makes me feel like I'm tunneling, but my FoS is still VE. I'll leave it at that, and won't press it, until I see another scumslip from him. | ||

Also as a general rule it doesn't matter how many lynches you have to spare, you should lynch the person who you think is most likely to be scum. When I say retarded town, I mean a townie that is scumslipping really hard like the post I was pushing at, which aptly fits your ideal of who to lynch. We should be okay with our lynches if the townie in question was scumslipping like no other. It's not okay to just randomly lynch townies with an ML, only townies who are scumslipping. If we identify those that are scumslipping and lynch them, we'll get the mafia, even if it means casualties on our side because mafia HAS to scumslip at some point, whether it be at the very end of the game or at the beginning. | ||

My #1 goal is lynching scum. I don't lynch townies, I don't lynch "for information" and I certainly don't aim specifically at "retarded town". If town players happen to die as we lynch down the list of scummiest players, so be it-- but we must try to avoid lynching town as much as possible. If we lynch town, don't be happy, be solemn. Maybe be mad at him for playing like scum. | ||
