Wow if muso is actually scum and just randomly claimed mason that is going to be the worst scum play ever...
##vote muso
until we get a claim from his mason partner.
Also I don't think acro's partner should claim until muso's claims.

encryption...
It is up the the mod to say if it's legal or not. I don't think it is really "against the spirit of the game." There are very specific circumstances where it's useful and this is one of them.

@Kushmasta: I want to back up the discussion a bit. Can you please explain your thought process once and for all when you were confusing masons and millers. At what point did you realize that masons and millers were different roles?

Before that point, did you think mason+miller was simply a role all wrapped into one? And if not, who did you think was being called out to roleclaim: "town members who could talk to each other", or "people who would show red to alignment cops"?

Acro, did you breadcrumb your mason role in your opening post? In that very opening post, you clearly state that you think masons should breadcrumb.

There is currently NO reason to claim mason and it is an easy claim to make if you or your partner runs into trouble, or it's lylo.

If mafia/sk inadvertently offs one of the masons, the other one has some decent evidence to back his claim up.

People were saying miller should claim. I thought they meant masons should claim and I agreed. I thought the miller role was mason and I though mason was miller.

No. Making a good breadcrumb is hard and we didn't think there was much rush. If I had made a breadcrumb, I wouldn't have had to bother with that encrypted post either, would I?

It's just like breadcrumbing, Zealos. I don't see anything wrong with it and I'm not sure how it's not in the spirit of the game, how else would mason partners confirm eachother?

I disagree strongly, but now isn't the time to discuss I think :p
Other than that I see no reason to change votes atm.

I'm pretty sure DP is the only one left who hasn't commented on muso's claim. So it's either DP is muso's mason partner or muso is the worst scum ever.
Maybe he fake claimed because he was confused about what mason did? (I actually don't know what either a mason or a miller are IRL. There should be more obvious, more differentiated role names IMO)

So I will consider anyone talking about
muso,
or encryption,
or the real scum claim,
or anything other than looking for scum in the remaining 12 people, unhelpful and therefore suspicious.

While it would be nice to be masoned with a fellow australian. Unfortunately I am not masoned with Muso, or a mason at all. Muso's partner should claim if he exists. If not then I am going to vote for muso for fake claiming mason. It's 10am ADST so musso should be here any moment. If he is not he is probably avoiding the thread.

Anyway. I am hosting a party today, and have much to do so I may not have as much time as I would like to post. I will make it up later though.

Really? Let me be unhelpful then and educate kush, mainly because I'm bored:

A miller is someone who mills. The wind/water mill was usually located outside, or on the outskirts of town. A favourite story setpiece is that the miller is suspected by the townfolk, because he is different: he lives outside the town and keeps to himself. However, he always turns out to be innocent (and maybe even saves the day). Hence the ingame role.

A mason is short for a member of the freemason society. A rather secretive group of people who organize secret meetings. I don't know enough about them, but they are generally highly connected between each other. Hence their ingame role.


Oh, and Release hasn't appeared yet either to chip in about Muso's epicly failed gambit.

I think it is the natural tendency of mafia to accuse people on things that they themselves are guilty of. As mafia you are hyper aware of your own mistakes and that gives the mind a convenient go to for what to look for in other people.

Mattchew hypothetically accuses release of something that he is actually also guilty of!
Release jumps on me for a stupid reason. Mattchew jumps on Realease for a stupid reason.
He accuses kushmasta of... honestly i dont know... especially after he asks about the discussion being about masons or millers. Kush misread the thread / roles being discussed and thought millers = masons... calling him scum for this is the biggest stretch i have seen in a while. there is no way anyone with any level of reading comprehension would draw these conclusions from kush's posting and reading the thread around it

release is trying to look like he is scum hunting by skewing kush's words from the thread.

So essentially you are accusing him because of bad "reading comprehension." That is kind of the same thing he accuses me of though.

I'm not being deceitful about it, I just got their names mixed up.
I think they should probably both claim actually.

@release
Are you suggesting that I'm trying to trick power roles like vig, dt, etc into mass claiming?

Are millers' true alignment revealed upon death?

well, you were assigning Mason traits to the miller, which led to the confusion that it did between who should claim.

Also, you didn't mention mason but the "town who can talk to each other." You avoided saying mason. Mason is clear. "town who can talk to each other" could be mason, but could be miller if someone assumed you were talking about who YOU thought "could talk to each other."

Mafia is a game in which posts can't be editted. People tend to check their posts for any dubious or tentative information. I highly doubt that you "mixed up" their names because things like that tend to get checked, which leads me to believe you said such things on purpose.

I wasn't talking about the mass claim. That was rather obvious.

This is pathetic and reaks of scum. While I was willing to write off his first post as one derp of accusing another derp, this one just seems malevolent. He is trying to paint a scum reason for making a mistake and dreaming up wild unprovable theories in the process. This is not a town move. It's an easy way for scum to (try to) get a mislynch bandwagon going. Nevertheless, it's a terrible scumplay. Holding off on my vote to see where this goes.


Zealos is being Zealos. I have nothing much to say about him yet.


Acro, I just want to confirm that you think Kush derped (i.e. is probably town) and that Release might have derped but it was very scummy and you'd lean towards him being scum. Is that correct?

That is correct.

@Release: I could vote for you, but there's no point yet. Why the rush with over 40 hours left in D1? As I said at the top of that post: I don't like your followup and can easily read a scum motive into it. However, it's D1 and tunneling on one player is not the way I like to play D1 (it leads to a mislynch 90% of the time).

yeah im voting because of the opposite, often on day 1 town loses focus and direction for its lynch and ends up in a last minute scramble. I trust my early reads pretty heavily so it will take a lot to move my vote right now

Are your early reads right a lot? Most people haven't even talked yet at this point, but you overblow this release case to the point where you already know who you want to lynch.

I think Mattchew was being hypocritical and overzealous in his attack on Release.

Thank you for taking the words right out of my mouth, acrofales, regarding what a Miller and a Mason are.

Also a more general definition of a Mason is someone who lays bricks, in history the bricklayers were their own society and you could tell a group of free masons bys ome signals they left in the bricks they laid.

Okay.

I take full responsibility for this situation.

Admittedly, I didn't make any attempt to assess the experience levels of anybody here before I started this game, so this is undoubtedly my fault.

However, I banked on Acro and his teammate figuring this out instead of coming out and counter-claiming me. Pretty much everybody in the game determined the following:
1. this is a suicide play as scum
2. it is extremely unlikely there were 2 mason teams,

Unfortunately, the masons didn't make the next leap in the puzzle, and think outside the box to figure out WHY? Fair enough, I'm not blaming you.

I am Kid Watching TV, aka a vanilla.

The point of the gambit should be obvious now.

I've caught up with the reading and afai can tell, Muso's reason for why he did such things is based on WIFOM( yes many things in mafia are wifom, but this has little to help up). From what i see the intent of this post was to spread confusion and maybe set up a 1 for 1 trade, which could have been accomplished with accrofale's claim.

more to come later.

So... yousay that you knew that a mason pair existed before you even made the claim? o.O What did you bank on them figuring out? I don't understand.
