I don't particularly like even normal masons posting skype/irc log dumps. Long, time stamped real time conversations are hard to fake and take way too much effort as mafia. Even if it's a town/mafia mason pair, I think it's better if the onus on identifying the mafia is on the town mason rather than on the whole town. Even if you, as mafia, manage to convince your pair that you are town and start pushing some agenda, everything gets copy/pasted into the thread eventually.

I would much rather have masons paraphrase their conversations or paste very small segments.

It's against what I perceive to be against the spirit of the game to even ask a hydra to post their logs. You are trying to Devine the alignment based off the posts that slot makes.
if I had to describe his playstyle, it'd be a coked up rabbit with the attention of a goldfish injecting caffeine into himself directly through an IV drip. it's like a reel of random animated shorts where things just blow up randomly

Mason different because it's a power role... Imo

"Town was nerfed" always was and is in comparison to what the mafiascum page tells you to do and not what was up with the set-up (I agree, it was slightly town favored, foolish said the same) TL-wise. That's the reason I said town was "nerfed" btw mafia was "buffed".

I don't think the double 1 shot vig was a problem though. The hydra was, yeah


the thing is, I ran variants of C9++ and tweaked it for at least 3-4 months before I thought it was even close to being balanced. I still don't think the version I run is completely balanced, but this is even worse than the first setup I ran.

I purposely tell people not to use mafiascum as a resource for C9++, only as a guideline, because if you copied C9++ directly then it would be ridiculously town favored. Every change I made was deliberate, and I talked it over with multiple people before finalizing, including Foolishness, GM, Ace, BC, Incog, and Ver. e: it's also why several of the first normals I hosted had slightly different variations; I was testing out what players thought and what I thought of how the setup was going.

That's also why I chose not to publicize my randomizer, though I don't think anyone is actually using it now even though it was released at some point (though I still don't think that's the latest one I use)

Posting screenshots of your spreadsheet is also pretty questionable and asking for someone else to do that definitely is

something both Bugs and Toad do every game.

Hydras posting logs was super OP, I already ahd them as town in a hard way but they were essentially confirmed town. Especially when Toad told them to stop. Since it was obvious their logs were real.

Like.. That's just something you gotta consider before claiming masons. There's a similar requisite ability/knowledge required for successfully fake claiming any power roles.

I do almost everything I can when playing as well, just saying that in my opinion these things are helping towns too much

Posting spreadsheets is not questionable, if a player is willing to do it as town then they'd be willing to do it as scum too. Also it's within the confines of the game; all it is is a read list formatted differently. In fact, it can even be dangerous for town if a strong townie lists scum as town and then dies.

I guess I just don't like the screenshot part, just copy/paste or summarize what you have instead of doing that. Then it would at least take some time for town and mafia. Maybe I'm just too lazy as mafia. You are never going to get my spreadsheet/logs as either town or mafia though, so I guess I've that to hide behind.

Also the mason stuff can be applied to PM games. I don't like PM games because of the difficulty of balancing them; I don't think hosts do a good enough job of spending the time to balance them. I don't think they can't be balanced, just that it's really hard to.

In a PM game scum are forced to fake PMs, if they wanted to fake a mason (completely voluntarily) then they'd have to fake logs. It's an incredibly risky thing to do, and tbh it's probably not very worth it, but in a properly run setup the claim should be possible. I would personally think about it as scum in a lylo situation.

Similarly miller claims are a calculated risk taken by scum too. If marv had stayed in the game I'd be pretty confident he would have lived a while with that miller claim. No one has done it yet because no one is brave enough to try, but it doesn't mean that something needs to be changed because townies are getting too many blues or whatever.

I agree that in this game, the setup was cracked because of host error and a relatively town favored setup, but I don't think that this is the norm.

not sure what the town nerf was honestly. I think the set-up was pretty good for town. Though even more good with thrawn rolling over dead day one. Like others I left my vote off him hoping to actually get something done day one, though I was planning on simply shooting him night one.


I wanted to shoot him night one as well

Bottom line - hydra logs unacceptable. Requesting hydra heads sign their posts is fine. That's as far as it goes.

I second the 2 shot Vg over 2 one-shot VG

That's an extra confirmed town.........
