it's more that Wos and I work very well together when we're both town and we both acknowledge this, so I'm pretty curious why he wouldn't approach me if he's hashing things out with other 'PM buddies'
[15:15] <Palmar> and yes marv, you're a total hottie

maybe he thinks you're scum; alternatively, maybe he's a horrible digusting liarrrrr

If you're scum after that emotional blab, I'm never playing with you again.

I'd suggest ditching dick move analysis; it's proven to be ineffective as of late. I will however appeal to you personally; you can take it as you will. Knowing what you know of me, my playstyle, and my attitude towards mafia and rules in general, I think you can draw the proper conclusions.

Now if people are interested in my scumreads (and you should be), I'm thinking primarily suchdoge for starters.
I have been in discussion with a few players in PMs (I won't reveal who I'm talking to with regards to specific conversations unless I believe it's absolutely necessary---they can reveal themselves if they so choose) and one player got me thinking about suchdoge's identity. I won't really bother guessing (even though we both guessed the same person) because basing a scumread solely on that (and as a result, meta) would be terrible but if other people have any guesses you may want to keep those in mind or alternatively you can PM me and I will discuss that section with you.

Suchdoge:
His massive entry post that said the same thing about the mayoral election that I already did earlier in thread, and then promoted marv and mig as good candidates for election despite the fact that marv (at the time) was barely playing this game (although I can't be certain about PMs) and I'm assuming Mig hasn't shown up yet (and from what I saw in PYP I'm not particularly impressed with his play).

The rest of his filter (and he HAS one, unlike others) was shitting on the main and strongest mayoral prospect and talking about how he can't PM.

I would be curious to know what interactions people have had with him in PM/IRC-land because I have spoken to people with conflicting reads here. It is my belief that such an entry into the thread, not offering anything particularly useful other than the offering up of mayoral candidates that can widely be accepted as 'good players' if they decide to run is nothing more than a safe and neutral play under the guise of effort, a perfect scum opener. The rest of his filter does not lead me to believe he has town's best interests in mind (despite some people currently agreeing with DrH not being the best mayoral prospect, including DrH himself) as he promoted negativity without offering something positive and realistic in return. Also now that marv HAS announced his potential candidacy I would like to see how he will react.

I agree with you marv, but I stated at the beginning of the game two things: that I'd be trying something a little new this game, and, having never played a PM game before I'd rather let players come to me, similar to what you stated you'd be doing.

I do agree with your sentiment, and we DO tend to work very well together marv, but you also know how naturally untrusting I am, and without the rest of the thread to tell me not to be paranoid about you (if you ARE in fact townin PM-land, I'm not sure how useful it would be---in my mind it may simply open myself up to be manipulated even more. That being said I would love to discuss reads with you if you'll send me a PM, just keep my current attitude and reservations in mind. For similar reasons to the above as well, I would not currently be comfortable voting you for mayor.

Original Message From Blazinghand:
reasonable since scum would probably shoot r + m before you, so if they're shooting you first it means r + m are probably scum.

much more reasonable because one of them is almost certainly scum. I have moderate scumreads on both r + m because they have both pmed me asking if I was hopeless1der's mason partner; fishing for mason partner doesn't make a lot of sense unless you're thinking of shooting whoever hopeless1 makes his bodyguard.

I think it's unlikely they're BOTH scum since if they were both scum only one of them would go fishing (why risk exposing both of them)?-- the most likely situation is exactly one of them is scum.

I'm asking about the placement itself

Original Message From Blazinghand:
it lets me know you have a strong suspicion i'm town.

if I were scum and r + m were town I'd shoot you tonight 100%, and i'd stop supporting your mayor campaign, since r + m + drh are all capable townies. if I were scum and r + m were scum, this would be a clever way of you avoiding the shot tonight, but since i'm smart enough to figure that out and you know it, you would not claim hatter to me in that situation. you know i'd shoot you anyways since i know you'd know i'd know you were fakeclaiming.

you're claiming hatter to me because it's true, and you figured out i'm town.

Original Message From DoctorHelvetica:
What if I told you I'd put a bomb on rayn and on marv

Original Message From Blazinghand:
but i'm telling you now so you know I think it now:
[
There is one difference to someone claiming miller, though as everyone has said it is a nulltell, it means cops shouldn't bother checking him. The two possibilities (real miller or scum faking miller) both have the same outcome to a check.

I like how much thought DrH has been putting into the game. Reading his posts, I'm immediately aware of his thought process and it jives with how I think town DrH would think. There will be a temptation to not vote DrH for mayor because you think he's too clever, because you think his cleverness is an indication that his helpfulness is not alignment-indicative. Don't listen to it. If you don't vote DrH it should be for reasons like "I think he's scum" or "I really want kush lynched d1 no matter what so i'm voting BH".

In DrH's favor: The fact that DrH thought about situations how the hammer can be used in an aggressive way to help town indicates to me a town mindset. I suspect a scum player, even a scum DrH, wouldn't immediately think about how the Hammer could be used to put on the pressure. A scum player likes other things about the Mayor role, thinks other things about the mayor role


I'm not madhatter. Why does BlazingHand have any kind of scumread on rayn or marvellosity, both of whom are pretty strong townreads for me, why is he more concerned with talking to me about how I must be town than talking about his actual reads on Marv/Rayn and why isn't he stating this in the thread. He began the game with an empty policy lynch on Kush, then supported me, now he has actual scumreads he isn't pursuing and went along with the idea that I would kill not only two players who are doing a good job of establishing themselves as town but two of the most active players in the game? Lynch BH today.

BH seems like the kind of player who would flip out on someone for blue fishing him but he's not really pursuing his own reads because they are fake and bh is scum

here's more bad pm logs xatalos sent me from his communications with BH. Here he's talking about a scumread on alakaslam and saying he will push whoever is elected to lynch kush. Weird considering he SUPPORTED and campaigned for me afteer I said I almost certainly would not lynch kush and even mentioned more than once I'd like to lynch/kill him and iirc in past games I have played with BH we did not get along very much so it's weird for him to talk about me in such a positive way

Original Message From Xatalos:
I'll go read your older games. I really didn't like your kush -> DrH switch though.

Original Message From Blazinghand:
it doesn't make a hyoooj amount of sense for a guy to reference his own meta but i'm just gonna tell you if you think my play this game is remotely indicative of me being scum you really gotta check my meta. my profile has links to most of my mafia games (aven't updated in a few months though) and lists what alignment I was.

if your'e wondering why people are mostly wanting to lynch me for being a pest, not for being a scum, the answer is simple.

Original Message From Xatalos:
What would scum Alakaslam possibly gain from lying about PM'ing you? That just makes zero sense. I have trouble thinking of any explanation though. IRL issues maybe?

I've played with kush and I think he's trollish and useless. Frankly, though, I don't think it's too different from playing with you. You at least seem like you're trying, but I'd equally not want either of you as Mayor.

Original Message From Blazinghand:
i have played and hosted many games with kush. perhaps you have not played with him; that's fair enough. you'll understand what I mean by the time we get to D2 or so and you have a chance to observe his play firsthand.

slam probably scum. anticipate he'll claim he pmed me.

Original Message From Xatalos:
That answer didn't really raise my confidence in you. I don't understand wanting to lynch someone before he's even posted. Can you explain your rationale behind the tunneling better? Because I just see it as mindless.

I'm curious about Alakaslam though.

Original Message From Blazinghand:
yes but drh is probably better for it. he's obviously town and better than i am at mafiaa

if elected I will lynch kush. I will lobby whoever gets elected to lynch kush. kush needs to die.

yes no ,slam has not pmed me

Original Message From Xatalos:
Dat vote....

I've been reading Carnival Cruise Mafia a bit. There you don't want to policy lynch kush. Are you telling me that it's some sort of a scumtell for you? Otherwise I don't see anything easy to notice. Your play is so weird that I find it hard to read you at all. I really don't like how you're flip-flopping your opinions so casually.

Original Message From Xatalos:
Are you seriously running for Mayor?

Was your push on kush real or perhaps a way to generate discussion? I still remember your tunneling on xigxag in Titanic II and heavily dislike an attitude like that.

Would there be any good reason to elect you? Do you have opinions on players other than kush? What do you think of alakaslam after your chat?

Original Message From Blazinghand:
surely is easier to talk with me then to get slam to do for you.


What do u want to ask me so bafly?

Mason
You are a town Mason with [Insert player names here], you survived a recent TL Mafia game as town. After said game you are certain of your fellow Mason's alignments. Unfortunately you have a weak constitution so >>>You cannot be protected from night kills<<<


uh... this is a pretty serious problem with that plan.

Bodyguard FAQ

Upon election of a mayor, the mayor will choose two bodyguards. The bodyguards will know that they are a bodyguard, but no one else (besides the mayor) will know who the bodyguards are.

The bodyguard ability is considered a night protect and may be roleblocked (both bodyguards must be disable for a non-mason mayor to be killable). As stated in OP, masons can not be protected by anything, including the bodyguard ability.

EDIT: A mafia bodyguard will protect the mayor (unless roleblocked)
Once is an accident. Twice is coincidence. Three times is an enemy action. Bus Driver can never target themselves I'm sorry
