Sandie, I've never asked: Why did you pick me to send this message?

You're entirely wrong...

If Sandroba had the option to "sacrifice two minions" then you're saying he's the President of Marketing or Chairman of the Board. Those are the two roles with minions to be sacrificed.

If Sandroba were either of those roles, then the CEO would know him, because CEO knows the identity of those two roles.

You are right about the CEO part, but you can ignore that part and it still makes no sense at all.


Nonono, you used that as the entire argument as to why he wouldn't do that as scum syllo. Why wouldn't he do that as scum if that's the case? Town-cred is fucking potent in this setup.

If mafia get safe-claims (which hasn't been confirmed or denied by the hosts as far as I can see,) that makes it even MORE likely that Sandroba is scum bussing right now.

Reason syllo, I know you're capable. Why wouldn't sandro-scum bus 2 of his minions to buy the town-cred necessary to coast through the rest of the game?

Austin stop please, this is an argument you can not win. Just send his name in tonight and let the CEO take care of. Trying to get him lynched or power stolen is not the way to go,.

Kurumi, I believe you. Will review your posts when you flip blue. Don't take it too hard, this happened to gonzaw a few games ago in bang bang. Sometimes a slip up, even when town is too much and it there is nothing that can be done about it.

Wait town-cred is like..meaningless in this setup isn't it? :/

Okay I'm willing to wait on Sandro. I really wish he'd confirm that he can send messages to townies though, because his aim is bordering on too phenomenal to be earnest.

Well, even if Kurumi was a non-obvious choice, Zealos was a solid one, and he has 1/3 chance of hitting scum.

Because his mafia play is bad and he is a rational player who plays to win and playing like this would strictly hurt his teams chances of winning the game. He would still have to keep playing, appearing town and it would be harder and harder to explain why he is alive later on and also he would keep producing new material to analyze. Even if you believed that he might do that as an executive, read this

Sandroba claims that he can pm every 1/2 cycle, so every 1/2 cycle he has to PM someone and he would quickly run out of minions to sacrifice if he was mafia. If he is town, he will obviously keep PMing. I can't believe we actually have to have this discussion.

Why do you say non-obvious, it seems to me like it was a great choice.

Do you even understand what the argument is? Read the posts. Syllo states that a sub-boss would not bus two minions for town cred, because it would make him a target for the N1 shot. The CEO determines who gets shot, and knows the identity of both sub-bosses. Syllo is entirely wrong about a bussing sub-boss being a target for the N1 shot. Read my posts, read VE's post above.

I've not said anything about BM and power stealing, because that's all nonsense right now. That's a discussion between matt and others that is going on at the same time.

Kurumi was a piss-poor choice, as Probulous pointed out. Kurumi was likely to pretend to be mafia regardless of his alignment as far as I'm concerned, so that makes that particular choice terrible.

Zealos was decent IF HE WAS LOOKING FOR MINIONS...but Sandro has been onboard with Operation: CEObliterate since inception...it doesn't make sense that he'd try and fool ZEALOS if he's hunting for Executives.

But he has to hit minions, scum already has a code in place to verify the messages. so he has to hit people not contacted yet.

I agree Kurumi as a personality was a bad choice as he would go along with it, but as a tactical choice it was the best as it wouldn't be an exec as it had used a power in a questionable way.

His choice was based on his message.. High ranked guys would never fall for this. So basically sandroba never aimed for the easiest targets but for minions.
CEO wasting the message for two lines of shitty text?

I'm not saying it's the best plan ever. But let's see, if you want to play that game:

(1) Sandro: "Heavens to betsy, it appears my power has been stolen/blocked today"
(2) Sandro: "I lied, my power is actually x-shot"
(3) Sandro has a minion who can message town. Sandro is down 2/3 minions, so he is messaging the remaining minion every half cycle. Each half cycle, Sandro sends the minion a prepackaged message and a target to send it to. The minion sends the message, townie confirms that he received a message, Sandroba claims he sent it, and also can give the content of the message to confirm himself as the sender. Ta da. Messages every half cycle, confirming Sandroba. (Done off top of head, but I think this works?)

Kurumi you were calling Sandroba stupid for THE WHOLE of D1 for his choice. Calling my bad now is simply laughable considering.

So Matt what made you go from considering/including Chezinu on your scum lists to considering Chezinu town and using the logic of "can't have 2 people with the ability to PM anyone" to make your read on sandroba?

Hey Bill Murray, Please steal Sandroba's vote tomorrow and PM me with his powers.

If BM can't do this Sandroba is the exec

Why are you encouraging him to waste sandroba's power? There is 0% chance that sandroba is mafia and we shouldn't waste his power just because you don't feel like reading the thread and thinking whether his actions possibly make any sense at all for mafia doesn't mean. Even disregarding that, if kurumi flips mafia, he is basically confirmed town or at least confirmed enough that we don't have to waste his power to confirm him. If kurumi flips town, he is confirmed non-executive because they don't have a power besides the ability to message minions.

Really? 2 players with the ability to PM anyone? Do you think Chezinu is scum or do you think they are both town?

Everyone please think of the kill structure for a moment.

The CEO must kill someone off the list of names submitted by his underlings

This means he cannot just choose someone at random, he has a list he has to pick from.

And he chose WBG from that list rather than Sandroba, the wily scum-hunting messenger? HONESTLY GUYS?! REALLY?!
