Preferably 1-4 hours earlier. That way I could participate in the early D1 stuff as well as reliably be around at deadlines.

Actually that might be a decent idea. Random choices are the best in lottery as well (least likely that you'll have to share a victory). The problem is that if you pick something like 25, it's almost certain that you won't be getting one of the best roles.

The only problem I have with rayn's plan is that Mafia could pretty easily narrow down who are the Detective, Medic and Jailkeeper (remove the KP roles from the possibilities, then the Mafia team members, and you already have a very good chance at hitting one of the most pro-town roles).

I guess it's still more beneficial to keep the KP roles in check and avoid rogue KP at obvious townies. Basically scum need to do town's bidding or claim scum (if they get KP roles which seems likely). It's obviously good if either of those options happen.

Also: Survivor should definitely claim ASAP. If there's a CC, then it's pretty obvious that the first claimer is Mafia (since Mafia would never sacrifice themselves for no good reason like that). If there's no CC, then it's pretty certain that he actually is the Survivor. All in all, I don't really see any reason for scum to fakeclaim Survivor at this point. Later on, yes, but not now. That's why Survivor should claim ASAP.

KP roles are one-shot though and the most important "town" roles can be used several times. And they purely benefit town and can't possibly kill townies.

Oh actually Vigilante has 2KP and Assassin has possibly 2KP. That makes them a bit more powerful indeed.

Yeah, it also eliminates some duplicates (and obviously it's more beneficial for town to "waste" as few roles as possible since almost certainly scum will each get a role anyways).

Ahhh ok. I guess it's best to enforce a strict policy to prevent townies using YOLO KP. It would make sense to consider the KP as just additional lynches.

By the way, I haven't actually picked my numbers yet, but I'm seriously considering the ones I "claimed" earlier. Mostly it was meant to gather reactions as well as to create some fun mindgames to play.

Well, it seems like only rayn and Oats really took the bait. I think this makes them both townier, since it would have, in fact, been pretty anti-town to pick my numbers right away (it would render any glorious upcoming plan pretty much useless). Also it's usually more towny to instantly take a hard stance. AND rayn likes to be more aggressive/reckless as town from my experience. marv's reaction was meh, pretty much null. I slightly disliked Artanis's reaction of soft-defending me. That seems like the classic "scummy reaction" of not really committing to any stance, but gaining slight favor in my eyes. Also I can never completely trust Artanis again after how I was fooled last time, it's too bad

Dude you are not really helping atm if you are town.

btw you must absolutely not pick the numbers you claimed, at least change one number to prove you are not bullshitting right here right now.


I said that I can support the plan but that it's not 100% good. I don't think that's really wishy-washy or anything. Just fact.

Because it gains next to nothing and only serves to confuse town on your motives rather than provide something tangibly useful.

In short you are saying "just lol" because you are perceiving something to be dumb, but you did a dumb thing in the first place, you just don't perceive it that way.

Maybe if you didn't do dumb things in the first place (if you're town) then people wouldn't draw incorrect conclusions based on what you said, hmm?


It's just the way I play. I like WIFOM and getting reactions out of players. I generally suck at reading a thread objectively and nailing the scumteam from just that.

Dunno. Just saying that the only situation where you would truly be doing me a favor by giving me a "break" is if I'm Mafia. But since I know I'm town, it's pretty much counter-productive to pressure myself, so I guess it would just be stupid.

About LSB...

"2) Having multiple Kp roles all at the top of the list is very dangerous because mafia can share numbers and avoid clash. This is especially true in a mini game."

I don't think this was mentioned yet, but actually rayn's plan solves the problem that was presented as being a problem with rayn's plan here. If we follow a plan to pick the KP roles, there can be no clashes with picking the KP roles, meaning that Mafia have no advantage in picking the KP roles at all. So in the end this point 2 just encourages rayn's plan.

LSB hasn't really done much else besides this anti-rayn stance. He also seems set on undermining the plan rather than trying to genuinely talk about it with rayn. It reminds me of myself in LXIV where I tried to undermine the mass claim plan and marv becoming Mayor - no meaning to be objective, just flatly refusing it in any way possible. Very possibly scum.

I'd guess using Detective is more important than Vigilante, Artanis.

I guess mass claiming is the way to go. It's not quite as effective as in LXIV but still generally makes scum's life hard.

I do think Artanis deserves to live though. His soft defense of me and 100% townread of rayn were weird, but he's active and he tends to lurk more and more as scum towards endgame. We can DT check him as well. And he may be an important asset as town.

Low amount of players and short timespan of the last game made it a lot easier to play like I did. Anyway, you only gave reasons for me being scum other than "being active" which you saw me do last game so I don't know why you're using that as something to give me a town read this game. I don't understand your read on me.


+ Not serious/lurkish like generally as scum
- Was active and trolly last game as scum (although less so towards the end)
- A couple of slight issues (soft defense, quick to townread, filler posts)

-> Pretty null (needs more time)

hes really hesitant about joining this plan of Rayn's like he doesnt want it to actually happen.
He hasnt really done anything else past kinda defending xata but not directly.


We'll see pretty soon if yamato actually picked 1 1 at the beginning. If he did, it's pretty terrible, since that's even more anti-town than picking something like 5 4 would have been... And I wouldn't put it past him as Mafia, since it's usually relatively easy to find out if he's scum or not, so it's not like he has a lot to lose by doing this.

There really isn't much that yamato has done so far. It's all filler, anti-town / null (such as picking(?) 1 1, vaguely resisting the plan, giving soft opinions)... Overall just nothing that makes me think town. And I think he should be more townish by now if he actually was town. So he's probably scum.

Maybe not particularly scummy.... But mostly anti-town/null. And I would expect better from town yamato. Currently I'm mostly wanting to hear if he really picked 1 1. I'd also like to see some solid stances soon.

I'm not really sold on Hopeless being Mafia. He's sheeping his vote, "the plan", even asking others to decide his numbers... It's basically too obvious that he's following thread sentiment. As scum there should be at least a slight effort to look like he's thinking critically. It feels more like lazy town IMO.

prplhz is pretty useless and passive-aggressive. Is he always like this? His filter is overall kind of null and unhelpful.

I don't know if that really goes though. Hopeless himself has said in Shadowed that he doesn't really try until he's at risk of getting lynched. Could just be lazy scum.

Prplhz felt really different in Default Suspicions. Quite active at the start and poking at things, then went afk a bit. I checked a scumgame of his before that game and the biggest difference I felt was that he didn't care about the game as scum, which I'm feeling here as well.


Well, I guess he could be. But I'd say it's more likely that he's putting himself in a bad spot as town than as Mafia.

I'm having a hard time reading what purplhz is saying because he posts a ton of text but barely says anything in all of it :/ His attitude to the game is just unhelpful. If he's usually helpful then he's probably scum.

puprlhz is just pretty much null overall, I guess. I barely understand what he's saying and even less I understand if he's town or scum.

Btw I think marv is more likely town. I once read a couple of his town/scumgames and the general trend seemed to be that he's more hesitant and passive as town (especially at the start) whereas he's more aggressive and tunnely as scum. The hesitant/passive seems to fit a lot better here. Maybe like 70-80% town.

I picked 8 4 in the end. Seems like it wasn't such a good idea... There were less clashes than I thought.

I also sent in my role choice, but apparently this choice isn't permanent, so it's not like it matters too much.

A lot has happened while I was away. Mainly austin and gumshoe have come under new suspicion. Both resisted rayn's plan for bad reasons. Also LSB remains as a suspect. prphlz not so much anymore. I dunno about him, but at least he's pretty active in the discussion, so I'm not too fond of lynching him.

I'm not truly sold on gumshoe. His stance against rayn here reminds me of his stance against me in GoT Mafia (I was pretty clearly townie and putting in a lot of effort, but he kept opposing me for dumb reasons). Then he pretty much went AFK and was town KP'd. On the other hand, as scum (granted it was a long time ago) he was a lot more passive and unnoticeable. Does he do this thing where he baits a lynch on himself as scum nowadays?

austin... He's really focused on a pretty irrelevant topic (unlikely host speculation). I guess he does have a point, but it's not like all the roles will be greatly changed (maybe like DT, but probably not much else). I don't think it's that bad to talk about this topic in itself, but he hasn't really done anything else worthwhile. Most importantly he has done nothing to help with the D1 lynch and has just 100% focused on a pretty irrelevant branch of the PYP stuff. He's certainly null at best and slightly scummy at worst (for contributing in a way that's overall not helpful and even anti-town by distracting the discussion and undermining rayn's plan).

LSB has also mostly attacked rayn's plan, but at least he had some slight contributions to scumhunting (rayn+austin+Hopeless). Although he seems VERY fast to jump to conclusions (rayn Mafia for shaky reasons, austin Mafia for one post (?), Hopeless Mafia for sheeping...). His crusade against rayn is also very tunnely and doesn't seem genuinely concerned about the best direction for town. It's more like he just wants to attack it for the sake of attacking it, not to determine if it's truly useful or not. His play is just pretty scummy and even at best it's just null.

Hopeless seems to have dropped from the discussion entirely. He's an extreme sheep but I don't really think he's Mafia for it. More like just lazy/insecure. We'll see if he'll push anything of his own.

I'm starting to feel pretty scum on yamato. True, he didn't pick 1 1 at the start, but even more worryingly he's become very antagonistic and useless. It's kinda like here (as scum): http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/423047-got-mafia-lords-and-liars?user=yamato77 On the other hand, as town, he usually feels quite townish (see http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/438132-tl-mafia-lxiv-a-game-of-intrigue?user=yamato77 - although it was a PM game so part of his contributions were in PM land).

My preferred lynches would be yamato/LSB/austin atm. gumshoe doesn't really fit in my lynch candidates unless I'm convinced that this is scum gumshoe playing like this (against my experiences with him).

Also someone pointed out that there isn't necessary a Survivor in this setup. And that seems to be the case currently, I guess.

It'd be pretty weird if all gumshoe/austin/LSB were Mafia... But I think at least one of them quite probably is. It'd make sense to undermine rayn's plan in hopes of getting people off from it.

I think gumshoe is by far the least likely one of them to be Mafia. It's more like he personally explained his distrust of rayn rather than tried to get other people to distrust him. It's just so much how he distrusted me in GoT besides me obviously pushing town agenda.

But did he at least read your posts and then distrust you?

Or distrust you blindly without really reading your posts as here? It's quite a significant distinction.


Actually it's a bit different from here since it happened mostly in PM land at N0 before the game truly started. I started campaigning to be our House Lord and tried to convince people (gumshoe, Grack, iamperfection) to elect me. gumshoe's reaction was something like "I don't trust you, I don't want to elect you". It was a long night and eventually we elected iamperfection, but basically gumshoe's reasons for distrusting me were mostly emotional and/or senseless. It's like he automatically gets suspicious of someone trying to campaign for himself. It felt pretty similar to here where rayn was proposing his plan and kind of leading town, but gumshoe's gut reaction was just to distrust him for no good reasons. The point is, I don't necessarily think gumshoe using bad reasoning to oppose something makes him Mafia. Dunno if it makes him town either, but it feels more like the town gumshoe I've known. Has his meta shifted to be more like this as scum too? Because last game I played with him (a pretty long time ago) he was just quite passive as scum.

Like... This is how he posted in my last game with scum gumshoe (it's been long so it could be irrelevant by now though).

On March 22 2012 01:34 gumshoe wrote:
Alright just woke up, On the topic of random voting, I don't mind it so long as its a means to an end. It should generate discussion not baseless band wagons

Also on the issue of third party. Isn't little finger sort of irrelevant to town? I mean unless he's going to act like a total dick and try to get himself lynched he really shouldn't be a problem for us, its scum who have to worry about shooting him. Townies look for scum, scum look for third party, lets not do scum's job for them by finding the guy whose potentially the biggest threat to their operation. It's better if little finger stays hidden looks like a helpful blue and soaks up a hit. I'm not saying we shouldn't talk about him, I just don't want to give him away(which as far as we know makes no difference to him) until scum finds him on their own, because just by being there as he is he disrupts and confuses scum.

For the record though I think he has to ensure that catelyn survives no matter what(or maybe sansa) and ned dies. Or maybe he just has to identify everyone. It'll be near impossible to confirm our theories until later when we've seen someone act peculiar(like a third party would) even then though like I said before it might still be a good idea to keep Baelish under wraps.

Next up, Xatalos, why did you vote for me of all people? Is it because I'm a newer player eg an easy target to pressure/bandwagon?

Hmm. Clearly his scum meta has changed. For example these opening posts are kind of similar:

Muuuuust ressist dessssire to lurk cause Xata T_Y GAAAAAR. oK I hast broken curse for short time, the only long term answer is to KILL XATALOS.

In all seriusness, dumb/policy lynches are a baaaaaahd idea, even for das jokes, we have a disgusting amount of kp floating around and some of it may very well fall into scum hands. Despite that possibility, scum dont even need the guns, just the bullets to fly in the wrong directions. In fact whereas town need to abuse the fact that they have far more control of the setup, all scum need to do is play standard.

If they can just look better than town, this game can be over extremely fast, thats why I personally feel that Artanis and Palmer are town, because while they're behaviour is unlikely to get them lynched (and shouldn't in fact, we need to be damm sure about our lynches) it IS likely to get them shot.

Honestly I dont think anyone would really bat an eye if Artanis died over night(sorry best buddy ) : ) if scum play jokey its such a simple thing for them to get caught out. For that reason, I expect scum to be playing a bit more serious, it's something that might get them lynched in the long run, but the bullets are likely to be spent by night 2 and where they land will probally decide the game anyway.

This brings me to my person of interest.

Rayn : Has clearly thought out the setup throughly, he came into this game knowing exactly what he wanted to do and I'm damm sure he would have led the charge as scum or town. His plan has allowed him reasonable positioning pecking order wise, but it's also led to town discussion and formation, taking into account that scum need to play competently to win this game I would consider his organizational efforts a wash.

Less neutral a factor alignment wise is that rayns been playing extremely aggressive this game, picking away at the likes of Palmer and others. Rayn sees himself as an aggressive town player, personally I find he is an adaptive one, bringing out aggression when its called for not just for the sake of it. When Rayns scum though, he plays to his idea of himself and is far more pushy, often feeling as if he needs to jump on things before anyone else. I will be taking 2,1 because I dont trust Rayn atm and I rather neither he not get the one of his choice. As for his plan, I think it's fine so long as rayn doesn't get a gun, I'd prefer if Artanis and palmer could take hold of the heat.

As for LSb's issues with the plan, I dont see a problem with it myself, I'm sure Rayn thought it out pre game so it's fine either way as long as the right people are on top. I doubt scum would so openly disagree with it, they're probably going to just secretly pick whatever number they want. Openly attacking a plan thats gaining momentum seems silly / :

Anyone have any questions for me? I got a bit before I need to go.

I also dont think hed reveal like this if there were one or two members of his team on at his time of confession, which would be a bit of a dick move, this tentatively clears Grack( who I had pinged as null) thrawn(his posting aggravates me a smidge just like in the last serius game we played, so probs town) and bum, all of whom had decent thread presence and posted within a couple hours of mocstas confession. Bum I especially consider townie because of how seemingly sincere hes been in his attempts to push discussion, case in point this post glows green to my eyes.

"It seems like you have a stronger read on Vivax then you do QuantomPope. Can you respond to what he has said. I would appreciate if you two(three?) would hash out what you think of each other. I'm in the same boat with your scum list, but because you don't go into much detail, I can't benefit from what you think!"

An attempt at getting a contribution out of a player whose likely to be lynched comes off as a weird scum play, unless that scum player is totally confident that the townie will provide misinformation. Something I dont think a scum bum would count on.

Vivax also posted within range of the confession, but even disregarding that I honestly cant believe Mocsta would quit like this if he had Vivax on his team. Same reasoning applies to rob.

Which leaves a pool of six within which lies the last two scum.

1:Shiapi: Has done extremely little for town, that much hasnt changed, Round hasnt really said much on him all game long, usually deflecting questions or arguments against him onto someone else, only once he became the clear lynch did Moc/rayn hop on the wagon faithfully. A shiapi scum partner would def fit the bad scum team narrative.

2:Mattchew: Posts a bunch of one liners, mostly comments on others reads, has a relative amount of heat on him, thread presence low to medium. I dont think hes scum with shiapi unless shiao called his mother a goat or something. Although that would explain Mocs exasperation with his team, meh.

3: Quantom Pope: Extremely low content, could definitely see Mocsta getting pissed about being with this guy.

4:Mordanis: His early posts look like they have some actual, albiet befuddled, thought to them but his targets are odd, and bieng reasonable more often than not does not translate to bieng townie. He goes after Rob and Vivax, two relatively green players at the time, strange choices even if you take into account the volatile nature of any games start. Another odd thing is Rounds hard defense of him.

"I think Mordanis has about the best posts in thread. Yes they are worded a bit awkwardly and idk what that means. He can answer for himself about that. The "brb gonna go write a wall of text case against everyone" is an obvious joke and everyone should be able to realise it.."

at the time Mordanis had done a decent amount of contribution, but it's odd just how far Round sticks his neck out for him, going so far as to call his posts the best thread... Not even sure if Rayn's the kinda player to do that if they were buddies. Could just as well be post flip posturing on a possible lynch target, a motive backed up by Rayns willingness to change his stance on Mord as scum got more desperate for a lynch. Definitely a frustrating scum partner to have, so Mord does fit the terrible scum team theory.

5: Sidesprang: Not much of a contributor, but reads townie to me . Him asking for my replacement seems like a pretty unscummy thing to do, scum would want my slot to stay inactive as long as possible, yet here he is pretty much begging for a real contributor. Also his asking for a townie certificate... Considering the dark green and bloody history of Coag's accursed emblem, seems pretty brazen. Oh and his first vote, although a light hearted one, was on Mocsta... yeah maybe hes scum? Extremely reckless if thats the case, doesn't ultimately read red to me.

6: Jar Jar: least scummy of the bunch, has his own thoughts, pushes his own reads, generally helps town, I can elaborate if anyone likes but if you read through his filter you can see that although sherlock he aint, hes certainly doing more for town than anyone else on this list,(admittedly not saying much.)

Thats all for now, if anyone has any questions, I'll answer them tomorrow, it's been a long day, gl and good night town.

Oh and regardless of all this, no reason to not vote round. Hurray for free lynch!


The difference is, though, that the one from GSL is much "safer". This one where he attacks rayn is sure to bring him under scrutiny and I'm not sure what the point of that would be as scum (since several other players, probably including scum, had already attacked rayn with better reasons). gumshoe doesn't even really oppose the plan, but rather rayn as a person. What's the point? It doesn't really achieve anything other than making himself a lynch candidate.

Otherwise gumshoe hasn't really done much yet. Apparently because of the "Xatalos curse" (lol).

I'd feel much better about lynching yamato. He's going for his scum meta so far from what I can see. Or LSB/austin would be acceptable as well. They've both undermined rayn's plan with a tunneled focus and without much reason. And without real other contributions. I guess the same can be said for gumshoe, but I feel like he's the towniest of those three. And actually he did give Artanis a townread at least (and with a pretty decent reasoning).

Actually yeah, gumshoe denied rayn his spot a little bit earlier than LSB. I guess if LSB is town, then there's a chance that somehow gumshoe is scum and decided to bet everything on screwing with rayn... But I just don't see that being the case. At least I guess *both* gumshoe and LSB are very probably not scum. But still, I don't think it would be worth it for the scumteam to put one of their own in a bad spot just to deny rayn a top role. LSB was already against rayn so it wouldn't surprise me so much, but gumshoe just entered the thread and did that... I think LSB probably didn't refresh and see gumshoe's post because otherwise it'd have been useless to "block" rayn.

So rayn, marv, you really want to lynch gumshoe? Isn't LSB the better lynch with this reasoning? Also one of them is most likely town so lynching one of them could be good to semi-clear the other one.

Ahhh ok yeah the one who is lynched will lose his role pick. My suggestion would have been almost the same but I wasn't sure who would be best to leave without a role (yamato/LSB or rayn to minimize losses if he's NK'd).

You are right. I was thinking about LXI but apparently enough time makes 5 pages of filter 1 page.

It's basically win-win. If yamato is scum, he'll probably just claim scum, troll, spam nonsense or something. If he happens to actually be town, he'll probably at least try to do something.

On a more serious note, unless yamato comes back and suddenly shoots townie rainbows, I think he's certainly the best lynch. I can check LSB/gumshoe and austin can be shot. That should net us at least some Mafia and overall a nice situation information-wise.

LSB, the role choice isn't final so it's not like your role choice is "locked". You should switch to Doc now I guess.

The reason is basically that you're useless (much like in GoT Mafia as scum) whereas you're pretty much obviously town as town (like in LXIV). It shouldn't be hard to change that if you are, in fact, town.

I dunno about Palmar, he's pretty much null, but it's not like he's so suspicious that you shouldn't comment on any other players besides having some slight suspicion on him. Who would you want to lynch if Palmar wasn't in the game?

Rayn said it earlier, I can be lazy and shitty as town. If you keep me alive, I might be more useful later, but unfortunately, I don't have time in the next six hours to prove anything to anybody because I'm leaving for work in 15 minutes.

Tonight + tomorrow I have time to play. If you lynch me before that, whatever, you're all bad.


Actually rayn took back his words earlier... Apparently you're just not this useless as town.

Also *might* be more useful *later* isn't really convincing. If you were town, you could have used this time that you used to complain here to do something helpful.

I'm null on most of the people besides Marv/Rayn/Artanis

Second scummiest person is hopeless.

You're also on my radar, you're far too diplomatic for my tastes, it reminds me of LSB's game.


Ah yeah, in that game I tried to make you Mayor and oust marv from the Mayor position. It was a painful game.

Why do you think that Hopeless is more scummy than austin/LSB/gumshoe for example? Hopeless doesn't even try to hide that he's sheeping. Overall he's pretty much null at worst.

Btw has austin's meta shifted recently? Last games I played with him were already some time ago, but in those games he was pretty active and useful as both town/scum. Now he's just... Focusing entirely on something quite irrelevant and spending a ton of posts on that. And nothing much else. I have a hard time grasping his play from a town perspective but also a bit of difficulty in grasping why he would be so obviously lynchable as scum.

Apparently Oats has been following the thread and posting filler one-liners every now and then. Dunno. It doesn't feel like he's very invested in the outcome of the lynch.

The way Oats evolved around first calling Rayn's plan dumb and then later seeing the point and then being (one of) the first to call LSB out on a bad post reads pretty town to me.

I don't particularly why he doesn't do any of that as mafia.

Take Palmar's cop game. Oats took a terrible stance and then argued it into the ground despite the entire game telling him he was being stupid. He didn't give it up or frankly even look like he would give it up.


To be fair I think he was doing it somewhat intentionally (knowing that his stance was bad). At least that's the picture I got from him.

I guess JOAT could turn into Framer for Mafia (I mean the DT part of it). Otherwise I don't really think there would be a Framer.

Also it's not very useful since the plan is already in motion. Better focus on the lynch now.

Well basically you had a slight point about there being changes to the roles based on if the receiver is town/Mafia. It's certainly possible and worth some thought. But it's not a reason to shut down the plan and certainly not worth spending a ton of time on when clearly it's just unlikely that this branch of thought would have any major impact.

Well, the bad reason is just that, that the host could change the roles after they're given out. Certainly there could be some slight changes, for example to DT (since otherwise it would be useless for Mafia), but that's just a bad reason to undermine the plan. But if you don't think I'm scum then why are you focusing so much on me?

All roles that may be chosen are in the spoilers below. Roles may have additional alterations based on whether they are picked by Town, Mafia or Third Party. Players who draft these roles may or may not be informed of these alterations after receiving these roles.
I still can't tell what you think my reasons were, and why they're bad.

You think it's bad because the host wouldn't just change roles after they go out, even though the OP says there may be modifications and then goes on to add that you might or might not get notified of modifications, indicating that a couple different roles would change based on alignments (otherwise why make a notified/no notified distinction?)? Or it's bad to EVER undermine a plan that rayn comes up with? Or bad to undermine THIS plan?

Like, when I read your post, it says that I, myself, have bad reasons for resisting. Scummy reasons or just not good reasons to question things?


I'm going to assume that geript won't make any unnecessary changes. Otherwise it wouldn't really make sense to "choose" the roles in the first place.

With that in mind, it's just bad to persist with this line of thought when clearly it's not going to change anything (nor it should). It wasn't bad or scummy when you first brought up this idea, but then you proceeded to just focus on that (which was distracting and generally anti-town). The time could have been spent much better and frankly it would have been better if you had never continued on that topic even if it meant going AFK. I can't say it makes you anyhow really scummy but it doesn't make you look good either.

Now focus on something better for a change...

I guess rayn+marv+Artanis are town. If one of them is still alive later on then it's probably worth checking out but I'll refrain from suspecting them for now. It'll be so much more useful to check people on the grey area.

I don't think that game gives me much because we were bussing eachother hard all game. There's just a few tidbits from your I'm a cop play that I feel have transferred and I think they're alignment indicative though I haven't checked.

Oh yeah, of course, that. For some reason I mixed up games. Do you think there's any resemblance to that game here?

I don't think that game gives me much because we were bussing eachother hard all game. There's just a few tidbits from your I'm a cop play that I feel have transferred and I think they're alignment indicative though I haven't checked.


Hm. Like what?

General openness, willingness to both critique and sheep where applicable, dumb stuff like not being careful with how you formulate things, that kinda thing.


Yeah, I can agree with those. Thanks for your participation.

Lol gumshoe's vote was certainly the most scummy vote so far :/ Too bad I wouldn't put it past him as town... (see GoT for example)

I feel like yamato has a higher chance of flipping Mafia so I don't really want to YOLO anyways. But austin's comeback has been almost equally disappointing.

LSB is getting called scum for fighting the plan, and/or for choosing rayn's numbers.

As far as I can tell.

Those mean that if LSB is mafia, he/mafia is trying to like...screw rayn over. There's some reason mafia want rayn to not get what he wants.

I present him an opportunity to bolster his argument, or to try and build a resistance, or to do SOMETHING with. If mafia don't want rayn getting his way, then I'm doing what they want, and they at the very least interact with that somehow. They buddy, they encourage, whatever, but they don't just sit there and leave it alone.


Hm. That's a small piece of evidence that could have a point, but it's nowhere enough to townread LSB. Also it's not necessarily the only goal to mess with the plan - equally important could be to create fake contributions to appear like he's doing stuff.

More importantly which players would you want to lynch?

Marv leads town. Marv is smart. Marv doesn't bus unless teammate is sandroba.
Results are the easiest way to confirm marv. If yamato flips town I'd actually have to read his filter and that'd be very annoying.


Heh. Well, I guess you do have a point. Still marv's play so far fits better with his town meta IMO.

I probably won't announce my check target on the off-chance that there is some role to alter check results. Anyways it's going to be one of the null/scummy players.

I still think it's very possible that gumshoe is town. This is almost exactly how he played as town in GoT. Not to say it's a good way to play but it doesn't really point to scum.

It's very fortunate for us that austin didn't really put up a fight and got killed. Otherwise I might have checked him, and then A) he would have been lynched -> Xatalos Mafia! or B) I would have been lynched -> austin town! I didn't actually expect there to be a Godfather role, maybe Framer, but that was a bit unexpected. Now hopefully there isn't another role like that (although we can afford several mislynches so things are looking good in any case).

Town definitely deserves to win this game after yamato's and austin's weak displays (no scumreads, no effort, nothing).

I was thinking of splitting up the check targets with LSB but then I remembered that he's been extremely resistant to any kind of organization and gone rogue whenever possible. That's why I think it's wiser if I don't share the group of players I'm going to check into in case there's something like a Framer still in the game.

LSB can tell us how the organizing has worked so poorly and then we can organize his death really quick.

rayn, you make me sad.

You think I'm scummy yet you never say why.

You thrown dirt at me for any possible reason (or non-reason).

You don't invite me to the sauna.

You think my filter has no content despite it being a major factor in getting yamato lynched and making everyone else think I'm town.

You don't even talk with me about any of these things.

Why do you do this to me?

I checked Oatsmaster and he's town. Although it's pretty much useless information now since he doesn't have a role and there's no way he could have accomplished what happened last night anyway.

It's pretty hard to analyze what happened when the remaining Mafia player almost definitely has some slight/moderate modifications to his role. I guess it could be even a PGO that killed marv when marv visited him. It's too bad that marv didn't say who he was going to RB.

Another option is that Hopeless's Vigi shot gained a power-up (for example: "ignore protection"?). But in that case he would have more likely shot me, so dunno.

LSB basically confirmed me regardless of his alignment. It wouldn't make too much sense to do that as scum (if I checked him, it'd be instantly GG). He also seemed confident that I would return green if I checked him. I guess there's a small chance that scum has another GF effect, but it doesn't seem too likely for now.

It's possible that Artanis is scum based on the actions (if JK somehow changed to having KP), but unlikely based on his play so far - and also unlikely that a role would suddenly gain new KP.

I guess it would be best for Palmar to shoot Hopeless now and then we could see where that leaves us. I'm not sure about gumshoe. Doesn't him being alive mean just that someone (Hopeless/prhlhz) most likely didn't shoot him? Hopeless would make a lot more sense. But I guess we won't know that until Hopeless flips.

gumshoe would make a lot of sense as Veteran -> PGO, but then again there's no way that marv roleblocked him.

I wouldn't say it's completely impossible since this many power roles are otherwise quite town-favored.

But of course I know I'm town and Oats is 100% confirmed town to me (he has no role so he couldn't possibly be immune to my check).

Let's see... Here are the remaining players (the roles are almost all confirmed, the colors are at least semi-certain):

LSB - joat
Xatalos - dt
Palmar - ass
Artanis[Xp] - jk
gumshoe - vet
Hopeless1der - vigi
prplhz - day vigi
Oatsmaster - vanilla

That leaves 4 sensible suspects for the last remaining Mafia:

LSB - joat
gumshoe - vet
Hopeless1der - vigi
prplhz - day vigi

gusmhoe hasn't really done anything, but sadly I can't expect more from him as town. Null.

LSB claims to have greenchecked me. It would be risky to do as scum, since he would have no way to defend himself if I redchecked him. Slightly town.

prplhz claims to have shot gumshoe, but gumshoe still lives.

Hopeless also claims to have shot gumshoe.

The most likely explanation is that one of them is lying. It's probably Hopeless. They both also have the most dangerous roles in the hands of scum.

So what I propose is:

Palmar shoots Hopeless
If the game still continues, we lynch prplhz
If the game still continues (which I find very unlikely), we kill gumshoe and LSB

I find it very unlikely that we lose this way.

I think Artanis should roll a 50/50 RNG between jailing Oats or me. Scum will otherwise almost certainly shoot one of us, but in that case they might shoot Artanis. And if we kill Hopeless and he's town there should be no more than 1 KP at night anyway.

For Oats to be scum these conditions would have to be met:

- gumshoe didn't pick a role
- Oats picked a role (Veteran) and lied about it despite the lie being easily verifiable after gumshoe flips
- Veteran transformed into a super role that is immune to Cop checks, can KP, bypass protection etc.

Yeah... no.

Well, that took out the easiest explanation. I didn't really think more thinking would need to be done, but here you go...

Now we know that Hopeless shot gumshoe once. This means that either A) prplhz was lying when he said he used his day-vig on gumshoe or B) gumshoe could somehow survive 2 KP or C) Artanis jailed gumshoe / Hopeless or D) someone bus drived gumshoe and marv.

C seems very, very unlikely. Artanis would need to have RB/save + KP. I heavily doubt that there would be bonus KP through any modifications to a role - it's just too big of a change. Artanis -> very likely town.

It's plausible that gumshoe could somehow survive 2 KP, but not very likely. It'd also be pretty weird if gumshoe could survive 2 KP AND kill marv+rayn through protection at the same time. It's just way too much stuff in one role. I really don't think gumshoe is our remaining scum. gumshoe -> pretty likely town.

prplhz could have lied about his day-vig on gumshoe. Maybe his role changed from day-vig to some kind of a NK role? It doesn't make too much sense though... Day-vig would be fit for scum the way it is. And if his role is the regular day-vig, he would have no way to kill marv+rayn. Also prphlz would have at least semi-bussed both yamato and austin early on. prlhz -> null?

I guess LSB as a scum JOAT could have his DT check replaced with a bus driver ability or something (DT would be useless for scum). It's a bit far-fetched, but possible. It would explain everything perfectly and it wouldn't even be OP in any way. It's problematic that LSB took a heavy risk by claiming greencheck on me (he could do nothing but concede if I redchecked him), but the situation for scumteam is pretty dire, so maybe he just took the risk. LSB -> scum?

The LSB bus driver theory seems surprisingly like the best explanation. Artanis is very likely town, I don't believe gumshoe could both survive 2 KP and kill marv+rayn, and prplhz would need to have his day-vig transformed into some more powerful NK role.

What do you think Artanis?

Basically every other mechanically possible option (Artanis, gumshoe, prplhz) doesn't make much sense one way or another. I'd argue that gumshoe isn't even really mechanically possible (he'd need to be a double Veteran + have KP that would pass through protection = mission impossible!).

But LSB having bus driver as one of his JOAT options would just... explain everything. It wouldn't actually even be OP in any way and it's not *that* far-fetched (austin did have a GF modification after all and nothing like that was mentioned in the original roles). And him having bus driver would explain everything neatly:

1) Artanis jailed marv
2) LSB bus drived marv-gumshoe
3) Hopeless shot gumshoe (-> marv died)
4) LSB used Mafia KP on rayn

There's nothing weird or odd in any of these events. It's not even very weird that JOAT would be modified for Mafia to replace DT with something like bus driver.

There's also something pretty weird in LSB's filter. Early on LSB posts this (distancing?):

Gumshoe - although wishy washy, I totes understand the point "How about lets not let people who propose plans take highly abusable roles?". Especially since it seemed like town would follow the plan, it would be a bad idea to sacrifice yourself to send yourself down the list. I'm gonna read him as town.

Hopleless1der - Has done nothing but sheep, has very little original thought, just setup talk. I have no idea what is going on this game, but compared to his last game in Shadowed, there is a huge discrepancy.

Also LSB's vote on the D1 lynch was pretty scummy. He basically just ninja-voted Hopeless (town) and went away from the thread while the thread was discussing lynching either yamato (scum) or austin (scum). gumshoe did a pretty similar thing, but like I explained, it would be extremely hard to imagine that gumshoe's modified Veteran role could survive 2 KP + kill marv (through protection).

I can't be bothered to think about this anymore. There's good reasons for LSB being scum and there's good reasons for everyone else being town.


Yeah, it's mostly about how weird it would be for anyone else to be Mafia at this point. We'll see at the deadline if it was right.

If anyone has a more sensible explanation for the N1 actions, I'd like to hear it. Not including senseless / OP role powers.

I think there was a PYP game where a role was a combined DT+Vigi... But the point is that it would be weird for something like a basic Veteran to become super+resilient + other powers on top of it after modifications.

Wait... I thought LSB can only use his power once (pick one power, use it, that's it). Or can he use each one of his possible powers once? I'm confused.

My opinion on Artanis's plan will depend quite a bit on how that works.

I believe it's the latter.


I think it's the former but I asked geript just to be sure. If it's the former, we should definitely lynch LSB. If it's the latter, we should probably lynch prplhz. I just don't see how gumshoe could be scum with a (modified) Veteran role. Also he's probably modkilled soon enough or if he returns, his explanation would clear up the situation significantly. I see no good point in lynching him today (and he's quite likely not even Mafia based on the night actions).

Okay, once JOAT uses *any* ability once, he becomes a vanilla. So LSB should have no more powers if he used an ability last night (which he claims).

I don't think gumshoe is particularly the most likely Mafia based on play. He was just as useless in GoT Mafia as town. I do agree that prplhz is less likely to be Mafia based on play (he would have bussed yamato+austin during D1, for example...). LSB is IMO the most likely Mafia based on night actions AND play so I see no reason not to lynch him. Now we also know that your plan is faulty so there's no role-based reason to spare LSB.

So let's consider the advantages of lynching LSB/gumshoe.

LSB:
+ Scummy play and scummy D1 vote
+ Most sensible role theory for N1 night actions as scum
+ gumshoe is probably getting modkilled anyways

gumshoe:
+ His death wouldn't at least lose us anything
+ His death would possibly reveal us more about the situation (if he's a normal Veteran, then either prplhz was lying or gumshoe was bus drived)

I say we do it like this:

1) Vote LSB for now
2) If gumshoe comes back just to ninja vote, we lynch him - otherwise he gets modkilled so no reason to lynch him
3) Lynch LSB/gumshoe
4) ????
5) profit!

I'm fine with a compromise like that. gumshoe has it coming if he just ninja votes once more.

Scum Veteran

In addition to being a veteran you are also a busdriver. You may bus yourself.


bussed himself for marv last night


I guess that's not *that* unrealistic. Would fit much better with JOAT though.

Gum has gone afk for long times as town. I'm not actually sure if he's done it as scum.


That's actually a good point.... Has he?

This is gumshoe's whole town D1 contribution in GoT Mafia (right before deadline):

I'm leaning pretty town on prplhz. He's also engaging in the discussion even though it's related to a lynch choice between LSB/gumshoe (as scum it wouldn't really interest him).

Whatever, just give me a gun so I could shoot both gumshoe and LSB. I'm 99% sure the game would end.

One thing that bothers me is how LSB appeared so confident that I would return green if I checked him. Could he be immune to my check too? Or was it calculated acting? Or was it genuine? It's hard to say for me.

My theory is that he'd be happy to have the game end because his scumbuddies got caught so quickly, but didn't want to just concede so he decided to play reckless in that regard.


That's possible, yeah.

Hm. But what do you think of these points:

1) gumshoe played exactly like this as town in GoT Mafia?
2) it's pretty unlikely that Veteran would also become a BD compared to one of JOAT's powers changing into BD for Mafia?

It's now 4 in favor of LSB and 2 in favor of gumshoe (LSB, prplhz). gumshoe has yet to (ninja) vote.

Btw don't forget that if I'm not around at deadline, a tie means no-lynch (which is the worst thing that could happen). In that case lynch either one of them.

If gumshoe remains AFK he's probably getting modkilled. In that case we should definitely not lynch him.

I won't be there at the deadline, but I leave you, Artanis, to handle the lynch LSB is very probably the best lynch. If he's town, we'll have to think of something else, but for now I think it's him.

He could've busdriven himself with marv, let gum die and have you "greencheck" him.


Then gumshoe would be dead now and marv would be alive?

Hmm. I'd say killing marv instead of gumshoe is a pretty big plus. Also I didn't really give the impression that I was going to check LSB from my thread presence... Maybe he felt like he had to take a risk?

I guess one weird possibility is that gumshoe became a PGO and marv RB'd him for some reason and then he died because of the PGO effect. It seems unlikely that a PGO would survive 2 KP as well though.

Oats is confirmed town though. And Palmar killed austin. I guess there's a small chance that Palmar did that just to gain cred but it simply cannot be Oats.

Here are the things that confirm Oats:

1) A greencheck while having no role (no way to be immune to a check)
2) marv dying through weird night actions (no way for Oats to kill him)

I *guess* there's a very small chance that Oats's role became something else because of him being scum. A VERY small chance. But then his role would need to be 1) immune to Cop checks 2) able to kill through protection / bus drive. It's just unlikely.

It's too bad yamato and austin were so useless that there's really no way to make connection theories. Although here are a couple of things I thought about:

1) Pretty much the only "contribution" from yamato was to throw dirt at Palmar. This makes Palmar more likely town.
2) The only thing austin did was to hard defend LSB. It's weird no matter how you look at it. I can't fathom his thought process there for now. WIFOM regarding a scummate? Maybe.

I still have a nagging doubt that something like this happened:

1) Hopeless shot gumshoe (gumshoe got the notification just after the deadline)
2) prplhz fakeclaimed a day-vig shot on gumshoe at that same moment (maybe his role changed into something different and he had to fakeclaim a day-vig shot at this perfect opportunity?)

prplhz seems town though and his role changing so drastically from day-vig is very unlikely....

Certainly not Oats (no role) or Hopeless (he talked a lot about seeing his action etc.). Or you (you were going to protect him after all). Or me or LSB. I guess Palmar/prplhz/gumshoe could be potential targets. Or then he just didn't RB anyone.

Hmm, I guess gumshoe is the most likely option. If he became a Super-Vet-PGO with immunity to RB, then it would also explain the night actions. That's already stretching the limits of realism though.

I doubt that prplhz or Palmar would suddenly gain a bus driver ability in addition to their KP. Pretty much the only role where it really makes sense is if it replaces one of the (for Mafia) useless JOAT powers.

I'm trying to wrap my head around if this a good WIFOM plan by LSB or if he's simply town. There are several things that point to town:

1) Clear belief that I would return green if I checked him
2) Unwillingness to lynch the easiest possible mislynch
3) Wrong assumptions about how the Mafia roles would work

I have to admit that LSB is doing a good job of playing innocent if he's scum.

Horrible idea, gumshoe is confirmed town in my explanation. That's what I'm hoping to make clear to you guys at least

True: I jailed Marvellosity.
True: RBer takes precedence over jailing.
Likely: Marvellosity RBed Gumshoe.
Plausible: The person that Marv visited killed him
Plausible: A scum veteran role could turn into a PGO-like role as it makes sense for the flavour of the role
Why is Gumshoe confirmed town again?



If Gumshoe is PGO why didn't hoplelessder die last night?

Perhaps only the first person that visits him dies. It makes sense as Marv's action takes precedence over a vig shot.

So you assume three things for Gumshoe to be mafia.

1) Marv RBed Gumshoe - Most likely
2) Gumshoe has extra Lives / immune to night KP - on top of vet, really?
3) Gumshoe has a PGO ability that only targets the first person that visits him at night - Okay this is just getting silly

For anyone else to be mafia, they would need a bus drive ability. Just one assumption.


I do agree that this is a far-fetched theory. But it's also quite far-fetched that Palmar or prplhz would receive a bus driving ability on top of their already powerful KP roles.... And they're also otherwise towny. That would really just leave you.

I'd say LSB deserves to live more than gumshoe for now in any case. Clearly gumshoe isn't going to bring anything new to the table, but at least LSB is doing stuff (and also appearing pretty towny in some ways). While I still think that LSB is the most likely to have a bus driving ability, we lose nothing by lynching gumshoe (and it's not impossible for the PGO theory to be true).

So you've actually been lurking the thread all this time without commenting?
Pls lynch with fire.


Exactly as I did in got, nuclear ect. By all means though enact thi firry vengeance.

As for reads, I would have to have read the thread to have them, which I havent.


Maybe you could before you're lynched? There's still 2h after all

Now I feel a bitty silly for defending gumshoe all game. But good job LSB for establishing your innocence (kind of) at the later stages

gumshoe's role *is* a bit OP but I guess it's understandable considering how town-favored the setup is otherwise.

Also gz Artanis your idea was almost correct!

On the other hand, I think it has more to do with how unbalanced the teams were rather than the setup being unbalanced. austin+yamato+gumshoe (passive lurker scummers) vs a group of strong/decent townies is almost unwinnable.

If this was a normal setup, I think it would have been a total steamroll as well. Now gumshoe's powerful role just messed things up a bit, but it ended up fine.

Looking at the ScumQT it is a bit sad. Basically only austin tried to do something and yamato/gumshoe were just hoping for some luck to survive a bit longer :/

austin isn't really a lurky scumplayer tbf.

town just too good

palmar didn't even have to play


I think it would have been one-sided one way or another btw. If we had lynched town D1 and all scum would have gotten powerful roles and town had been disorganized... Scum could have just steamrolled town very quickly.

Hopeless was KP'd by us though. And LSB suspected. But otherwise it was perfect.


Btw I still don't know why rayn suspected me throughout the game :/ It genuinely disturbs me because I think I played exactly like in I'm a cop you idiot mafia 2.

palmar only shot hopeless because the 2kp that town directed at mafia didn't kill him :/


Well, he did slightly at least

I had difficulty imagining gumshoe's role too, as you can see...
