I'm back online finally Signups seem to be a bit slow, but I'm in no hurry - actually it's nice if the game starts next week.

Should probably also check if signed-up people are still available, given the long starting time.

Also, last chance to recruit new players

Haha, not sure if my role has any actual connection to the "lore character", but hopefully it isn't nerfed

At least I got a good role if nothing else

Seems like there's a lot of off-topic banter so far, but it's a lot better than nothing. In fact, it's been good for (at least slight) town reads already.

What actually bothers me are those players who A) don't interact with any of this harmless gossip B) react to it in a weird way.

For example, WafeofShadow caught my attention.

Alright what in the actual FUCK is going on in here.
Let's see:
Dandel amuses me. The fact that I don't have to be on a scum team with him this game makes it even better since I don't have to freak out at everything he does.
Having never participated in a game like this before I have to ask: are we supposed to be tryharding at all or fucking around all game? There appear to be people firmly entrenched in both camps and I can't honestly say which I want to be a part of yet.

Geript: No love for you. DRIVE THAT TRAIN STRAIGHT INTO MY TUNNEL BABY

I don't know anybody else who posted so I don't have anything else to say.

Actually I do know solstice and BC but I don't care about them.

So, who got my role?


This "opening" post doesn't really contain anything of his own. It's just a reactionary post to Dandel Ion's trolling and the overall atmosphere of the thread. In addition, the post feels "crafted" in a way, kind of like a planned "okayish" entrance not worthy of attention.

You found me out. I haz role. Why you blu hunting biznatch?


Those who don't ##lovetap are SCUM

I see you trying to make me jealous by lovetapping WaveofShadow.


Anyone potentially activating your role when they have 0 information on you is retarded. You attempting to force said issue makes you more likely scum than town.


See I feel like I've unconsciously joined the tryhard camp because I was thinking this exact same thing.

I get a really scummy feeling from all this "tryhard" self-praise. WaveofShadow keeps saying he's "tryhard", yet his posts are basically contentless and useless pieces of semi-okayish text. It's like he tries to convince people that he's actually an asset while not being one. When would town feel the inherent urge for such "reputation building"? Basically never. Mafia, on the other hand, would greatly benefit from staying out of pressure without helping at all. And that's what WaveofShadow has been doing so far.

Well Xatalos, I'm usually all for early-game-banter-heuristics but I don't really find anything useful in today's early-game, other than getting some town reads.

So yeah good luck with other stuff I guess.

I take it you don't find WaveofShadow scummy so far? Or..? (That's exactly my point by the way, these filler posts haven't been a perfect start, but it's dramatically better than nothing or bland introduction posts.)

Take your stance, boy. I've been around here for quite some time.
Also, putting my vote on Dandel for creating a terrible, spammy atmosphere and not trying to change that.


Hm yeah, looking at your history, I doubt that you would start like that as Mafia. Too effortless and careless IMO. But really, voting for Dandel Ion because of spam? Granted it's not impossible that he's Mafia and spamming to "ruin the atmosphere".. I think it's safe to say that's not a typical way to play scum, especially this actively. And do you even think he's Mafia or just voting because he annoys you?

I'm home! Haven't read anything yet, but after umpteen scumgames and a fairly longish break, I finally rolled town!

Also, in case this plan hasn't been proposed yet, I think everybody should say what character they made the role for. That way, if someone claims, someone else can back that shit up, or act as a lie detector.


Or the scum can pick off the players that created their roles and they are free to use it as they wish or modify it with a fake claim. That's silly.

So what? That limits them in who they can kill. Restricting scum is a good thing. You scum yourself?


lol it doesn't limit who the scum can kill. Scum can kill whoever they want, but with your plan, they're not shooting blind. I don't even understand how your plan makes sense. Why can't we server as lie detectors after the claim, without all sharing who we made the role for?

They're still shooting blind. They don't know what role they're shooting nor what the role actually is other than the name (and they still don't know who that is).

But I do get your point that if claims happen we can verify. Just run the risk of this only happening after people are dead and the mafia covering for each other (if someone claims and nobody pipes up that they made the role, a mafia member can "come into the thread late" and claim making the role)


Hmm. This plan has far more negatives than positives IMO. Mafia are basically in the dark only about one thing: blue powers. If they know who created which role, it becomes easier to snipe players if the need appears to fakeclaim (just snipe the player who created a specific role). On the other hand, it becomes impossible for them to act until a certain player has been eliminated. This might be useful in the early game, but come late game, every has-to-be-eliminated player should already be eliminated. This just makes it easier for them to plan their shots. In addition, isn't it more advantegeous to keep Mafia completely in the dark? "Fear of the unknown is the greatest fear." That should apply to Mafia as well.

Btw, is that Lovetap thing just a joke or an actual power?

I think he's trying to behave like "I not scared noob I vote big shot vet hurr hurr" and get people to have town reads on him. I don't like that. Fos on sk8rboi.


Hmmmmm. That's pretty much a joke/throwaway vote from what I can see. Why is it alignment indicative? Other players have done similar stuff innumerable times before regardless of their alignment, especially during early D1.

Zephir, are you perhaps scum?




In general, I am pretty suspicious of those who have come into the thread and lamented the pitiful state it is in (Kurumi), yet have shown absolutely NO inclination to improve it in any way, shape or form. On the other hand, Xatalos' introduction into the thread seems like it is far overshooting the mark in the other direction. Maybe it's just his way of writing, which I remember from like a year ago in our newbie game got everybody suspicious of him as well, but he seems really concerned with making a good impression. Nevertheless, I had a similar feeling about WoS, so there's that.

Also, apparently my vote on Kita should have been in the vote thread, but I guess it's too late for that now. Voting SnB instead, because he's apparently in this game.



Haha.. Too tryhard for your tastes? I have limited time to post until tomorrow, so gotta make it count.. Why strongandbig?

Also, who knows about the lovetap thing? It could be an actual power, inspired by ##fistbumb from the original PTP, or it could just be sk8r having read the original game and using that to derp around.


Point 2 is actually... Partly a negative point. Maybe even mostly. Yes, they can't fakeclaim until they have shot the role creator, but in your plan, it only takes one shot to get 100% access to fakeclaiming that role. If nobody reveals, it's almost impossible for any Mafia to fakeclaim until end/lategame without incredible luck. And point 1 is really a no-point considering that fakeclaiming the name is incredibly easy once the role creator has been shot.

Consider that I'm Mafia and got the role The Doctor. Now I can just shoot you and fakeclaim whatever I want later on. If you didn't reveal, there's no way to fakeclaim until you have died through some other reason. That's the problem.

Because Drazerk isn't in the game. Without our common enemy, I reckon I'll just kill him and see what happens. Also, he's probably scum.


Ha ha.. Rarely do I see stronger reasoning.

It's not a negative point at all. If you think this game will not, at one point, end up in a mass claim situation you clearly haven't played mass themed games before. What this extra information, before claims go flying gives us:

1. It forces mafia to be honest as long (although simply leaving them out of the know would do that too)
2. If someone dies, we know what role is open to a potential fakeclaim
3. If someone flips mafia, then we know the role he made is open to a potential fakeclaim by his mafia buddy.

Points 2 and 3 are not available to us without the claim.


Points 2 and 3 are true, but IMO just not as valuable as making fakeclaiming more risky for Mafia. With reveals, everyone knows which role names are open for fakeclaiming. This helps Mafia significantly more than town. Everyone knows that a certain name is open for fakeclaiming, but it's only a *possibility* for fakeclaiming - there's no way to know if the claim is real or fake. Without reveals, Mafia can never know 100% if it's "safe" to fakeclaim a certain role name. There's always a more than 0% chance of being busted if a cornered Mafia needs to fakeclaim. And now if you're shot, for example, Mafia already have one solid role name to use for fakeclaiming with 0% chance of being caught. Of course it would look suspicious soon after your death, but the situation is vastly different at LYLO.

In any case, this isn't the most urgent topic to discuss. And it's kind of a mess if/when some people reveal and some don't (more likely than everyone agreeing!).

Acrofales, you mentioned (FOSed?) Kurumi for lamenting the thread. And me for "going in the other direction" (not lamenting it?). What about WaveofShadow? Way more scummy than Kurumi in my eyes. He lamented the thread AND forcefully added a "tryhard" attitude to himself without really backing it up...

##Pants: WaveofShadow

I'm going to bed now. I'm gone all day tomorrow and doubt that I will be able to post. I should be around Sunday, though.


Ugh. This is basically Crossfire99's whole contribution so far (not including his earlier one-liner). And it seems like it'll remain that way for the rest of D1. Not sure if such blatant lurking can even be called scummy, but it's at least definitely anti-town..

And, if you look at my filter. I am clearly not happy with the way WoS is playing. I even said so in my post about you...


Oh, ok. "I had a similar feeling about WOS." I misread that to mean that you had a similar feeling about WOS in some previous game compared to me in this game.

But, surely you have preferences (between Kurumi/WOS/me I guess)? That vote on strongandbig is just meaningless in every sense.

And.. It feels like the thread has been pretty inactive today (even with 16 players total). Some town reads have been possible to make so far, but no strong scumreads. I'd rather lynch WaveofShadow than a hard lurker atm, but consider that there are lots of blue roles, everyone. If you just lurk, you make a big target for power usage (just a friendly reminder ).

About half of the players have yet to do something, anything, today (in the next 24 hours left). No need to waste a lynch on a blatant lurker this time around, but no need to spare blue powers either Every player should keep that in mind while lurking (or spamming or doing something else unhelpful).
