Hello, friends! I believe you'll find that I am currently Quetzacoatl, Bird God of Lightning and Other Things I Decide to be God Over. You can find my credentials elsewhere.

yamato's bit on rayn not making townreads 5 minutes in reads like yamato town, silly thing to say if scum, and not in a good-silly way. Carefree comment, nonsense read based on nonsense reads, town. Especially since rayn thinks/thought that yamato might be mafia for being serious, yamato super town.

The Lil' Jon mashup always amuses me.

Captain's Log, Stardate 4135.24. Crash landed on alien planet. Pee-pee might be broken.

There are enough side conversations that anything good gets lost in the noise, even if you're hunting for random little things. Hopefully later on the good stuff will come out in filters, but even the legitimate conversations are broken up by all the unimportant stuff right now, or are just conversations that don't sway me in any direction. I'm serious about yamato though.

I fucking hate you Daniel.

For those of you having trouble reading this post, I'm pretty sure that the whole thing needs to be read from the bottom up and from right to left (obv), otherwise the context doesn't make sense.

I'd also like to mention, that I think Daniel posting like this is absolute bullshit, but you TL people would probably have a better handle of whether Greymist would make someone go through all this effort of typing in reverse. That's really fucking hard to do and I'm not sure that that would actually be a game mechanic, but knowing Daniel, that's something that he'd do to make the game more fun/interesting/difficult for himself


This entire post says nothing
I didn't like this response because I actually didn't realize Paper had posted in reverse. Saying "hey, someone posted a thing that was unreadable but it was really a post and here's how you read it" is helpful. I can't have been the only person who had no idea what was going on in paperscraps's post except to check his odd .s to see if he was crumbing something.

gumshoe remarkably overzealous.

everything else when skimmed does nothing for me or my pee-pee.

red part: nono. yamato would try to read me as town but he would also "try to read me" as scum. either a lie or a very lazy comment
green part: another good one, or rather.. bad one. yamato's read or "read" is not nonsense. my reads are definitely not nonsense because i already said i am srs. so austin are you calling me a liar? or are you making the same lazy "didn't read properly, didn't think for a second and i admit it, but anyways i am taking a stance" opening post you made in last game?
blue part: how does me thinking yamato is serious make yamato more town? this makes no sense.

best lynch 2014.
Unsure if this is serious or rayn trying to make a smelly case on me to make me think he's town. If the latter, it's not 100% effective. Green bit is super legit, carefree posting and stupid reads in this manner are a townie thing. Blue bit is that rayn's early game reads are often terrible, despite the fact that SOMETIMES they work out. This just stuck out to me as "lol rayn is wrong and he's wrong in a way that means yamato is town." If rayn is town, it's a bad early read and fits rayn making bad early reads on town. If rayn is mafia, nobody cares about his early yamato read, so there's no reason to call a scumbuddy mafia in this way, so he'd only be calling town yamato scum in this way, so yamato super town no matter rayn's alignment. #getsquawkt

My paragraph was not poo-poo. marv is wrong.

gumshoe remarkably overzealous.

Did you intend to imply that gumshoe being overzealous is alignment indicative and if so, does it make town or mafia?
I don't think it's alignment-indicative, but I don't know gumshoe well. It's a stark contrast from what I know off-the-top-of-my-head about his recent play, and everyone else seems to be doing normal stuff (Palmar is being Palmar-y, people are being themselves-y, gumshoe is going ham on people). I like syllo for asking this question, he grabs a strange part of one of my posts, asks about it, in a way that indicates he probably wants to get a read on me.

Anyone else want to input on what their favourite tl mafia game mechanic was?
HolyFlare, this is the wrong question. The right question is "what is the most town-favored tl mafia game mechanic" (or favoured). I have interpreted HF's posts as him having a role similar to the ... role we had as mafia in Aperture 3? We could transfer some people to a different game, and the rules of that game applied for the day. If HF can make other games' rules apply to people, or another game's rules apply to a single day of this game, he should be asking for the most town-favored. Something in there has to be fun as well.

And HF, assuming i'm right or half-right, I might say Bureaucracy? It was a fun game that also had mechanics to make things hard on mafia, they had no QT and limited communication. Any game where mafia had heavy numbers and a setup to try and compensate for their numbers advantage would make a good use for some kind of rules-adding or world-switching role.

This is a terrible post because poofter? already explained the backwards thing and then robik did the same thing. Eg his post said nothing of value. If you read the thread I'd expect you to see that so it's extremely odd that your return mentions that.
If poofter already explained the backwards thing then I missed it and robik loses his explanation points if he posted way after poofter, and you lose your "this is a bad post" negative points.

Why mention it at all if it's meaningless? Palmar hadn't even posted when you made that remark, and you using later content to explain why you singled out gumshoe at previous point is suspicious. Does no one else really feel different from how they usually play?
Jumped out at me. True on palmar. As far as feeling different, nobody else feels THAT different? Perhaps more that gumshoe (and robik) could be summed up by one word at that point. gumshoe overzealous, robik...pissy/ragey/something, but nobody needs robik pointed out.

Especially since rayn thinks/thought that yamato might be mafia for being serious, yamato super town.

I believe it's a piece of cake, if the way is hazy. I was once told that I had to "do the cooking by the book" and also ordered to "break it down bitch ... drop dat ass down low then pick that muthafucka up"


gumshoe remarkably overzealous.

everything else when skimmed does nothing for me or my pee-pee.

Did you intend to imply that gumshoe being overzealous is alignment indicative and if so, does it make town or mafia?
I don't think it's alignment-indicative, but I don't know gumshoe well. It's a stark contrast from what I know off-the-top-of-my-head about his recent play, and everyone else seems to be doing normal stuff (Palmar is being Palmar-y, people are being themselves-y, gumshoe is going ham on people). I like syllo for asking this question, he grabs a strange part of one of my posts, asks about it, in a way that indicates he probably wants to get a read on me.


Why mention it at all if it's meaningless? Palmar hadn't even posted when you made that remark, and you using later content to explain why you singled out gumshoe at previous point is suspicious. Does no one else really feel different from how they usually play?
Jumped out at me. True on palmar. As far as feeling different, nobody else feels THAT different? Perhaps more that gumshoe (and robik) could be summed up by one word at that point. gumshoe overzealous, robik...pissy/ragey/something, but nobody needs robik pointed out.

Austin what type of a car do you own?

This is just a straight-up lie. There are a number of vehicles and objects that can travel through time.

Coincidentally, I am in fact a zealot, praise be to to lord RAKADANAKOOL!

I think the issue here is you chose to mention something that for the most part is non alignment indicative but does have a negative connotation. Why did you feel the need to cast my play in a negative light (the word zealot is not a kind one / if you found me null?

Coincidentally though, I am in fact a zealot, praise be to to lord RAKADANAKOOL! MAY HE SMITE OUR ENEMIES AND USHER IN THE APOCORYPSE
One game - gumshoe where are you? gumshoe where are you? HI GUYS I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING BUT I'M HERE AND I WILL CLAIM A ROLE THAT ISN'T MINE AND NOW I'M SHOT KKBYE

Another game - I'm gumshoe and I'm posting and I'm super aggro.

Happy to use overzealous because you were so aggro. To the extent that zealousness is negative, it's not negative in the sense that "all zealots throughout history were also mafia."

Not that it makes you scum austin. my case is what it is.

It is that you comment on things that you have not thought through. You make conclusions based on something you have not read properly. If you post conclusions on somthing i would expect you to think why people say what they do (in this case yamato and me). You are clearly not doing so, but you are STILL posting conclusions.
My comment is entirely thought through.

People start the game posting dumb reads to get things going or dick around. Yamato tacks some dicking around onto your dicking around, in a way that I like. He's not trying to get you lynched, he's picking a stupid thing to call someone out on, in a quick and carefree manner. It's the sort of post that comes from a townie. People who make posts that come from townies are likely to be townies.

Right now, you are the carpet because you are whisking me away from the banality of the thread into a whole new world.

Koshi is the genie, except that is a futuristic prediction, because I expect him to come from nothing and poop goodness all over the thread.

Palmar is Princess Jasmine, because he has so many suitors bafflingly vying for his attention
Is the Jasmine read because "ick, girls" or "ick, brown girls"? You don't think suitors should have been vying for Jasmine?

If HF is a magical rules-changing fairy, what's ruleset do you think is the most town-favored to be imported (maybe partially) into this game?

that's not what's going on. see, this is the point of my case. ^_^

Many people have yet to understand our interactions, rayn, it's fine.

But hey, the point is this:
austin calls both of our reads "nonsense"
- at that point my reads were not nonsense because i literally said "i am always serious when i give reads"
- now, people who have paid attention know there is something going on with your read on me.

he still claims both of outr reads were nonsense.....
Your reads were nonsense. You're not the non-nonsense fairy, you can't wave your wand and make everything you say true or not nonsense.

She just had money, boring. Although I guess she turned out ok. *crosses fingers*

Too difficult a question for me.
If the game is banal, and you are the walking repository of past games, just like...name a thing or two? Agreed on bureaucracy maybe being bad for scum? Do you remember any other games where scum had an advantage/disadvantage to balance, but the advantage wouldn't carry over well?

We did not watch the same Aladdin either. Dem hips.

So, again. Are you calling me a liar?
Yes, gumshoe. I don't care whether YOU think they were nonsense. I assume you're being truthful there. But I think the universe, as a whole, doesn't order itself according to what you think. You can think something, be sure of something, and have it be wrong.

In this case, nonsense

Where wanting to be afk...is bad, but just being afk is null?

And saying you're GOING to be afk is bad, because ... you only say it if you want to be afk, not if you're just gonna be afk?

I don't get how the wanting/just being thing is relevant to stating/not stating

I just told you why.

I don't know if VA is actually afk because he likes being a useless lurker (which he does), or if his family died in a plane crash or whatever.

I know why kita is being afk (or rather "useless" since he did try to spam some fluff), because he said so, and it's 100% sure to be a non-valid reason.

Do you like actually not understand the difference?
I find that hard to believe.

Or do you think being annoying is going to help you read me?
I don't think I care about the difference, maybe? Kita saying "I'm going to be afk for part of this cycle" and someone else being afk for part of this cycle are more or less identical to me.

Whatever the difference is, no, I don't get why providing a good/bad reason is different than taking the same action. Or at least, I don't really care about a difference there and then I'm not sure where I'm going. I didn't have a full conversation planned out here, was just curious about you getting on Kita's nuts for essentially saying "I'm not going to be around until later D1." Felt like an overblown reaction.

Nah. It's like people disliking Coag and his seal or whatever that business is. Game wouldn't be any fun if everyone had some gigantic tell that was obvious every game. I like fun. If candy, puppies, people and love are anti-fun, I'm kinda...mixed on them then.

Syllo asked me a couple questions about one of my posts. Just a little bit, not the part that popped the most.

Made it appear like he was actually reading thread.

The question he asked and followup made it look like he was concerned about my alignment, trying to figure me out.

Likely town, although I'll admit I have little/no experience playing with syllogism, just a generally townie set of actions.

Dunno. I'm not WoS.

Generally you pray and do stuff to gain a God's favor. Gods don't...fight to curry favor with a single non-God. Myself and any other Gods will be watching you.

Catching up and am on 128 so we'll see if this continues but I don't see why Gumshoe is the magical lurker lynch over SUPER DUPER LURKY folks like Djodref.

Who responded super quick to syllo about his read-through, then nothing. And more nothing. And for whoever wants to talk about multiple games, is less than alive in other games, which should yield an increase in participation/activity more than stuff like "people who are alive in other games are posting in other games."

NOT A GREAT ARGUMENT. I UNDERSTAND. But I'm interested in why Gumshoe is specifically a good target over other lurkers. And if it's activity elsewhere, we've already seen RIGHT NOW that he can be inactive as town in other games. So the activity thing is basically a nullity (i'm not going to call someone town for not posting in a thread)

But djo has been on some lists and not on others and is a way lurkier lurker than Gumshoe if you want lurkers.

Hopefully someone else has realized this in the last couple pages.

Is there a tl game where tree stumps were used?

There was a tree stump in the Dr. Who PTP, Demon's Run.

But that was a player-created portion of the role, and he could un-tree-stump in order to vote once and then finally die.


we've also had a single cycle ghost in at least one game, but I have seen no full on stumps

There are a number of reasons why I've not been fucked. They don't relate to the game. As far as why I've not been here posting, there are more game related reasons than the lack-of-me-getting-fucked, but oh well.

I'll join for majority on someone who martyrs that hard in an effort to stomp out martyring, or just...saying it's fine to kill you. But I don't get why he's the be all end all option.

I don't really see a reason for robik to start lying about his role partway through D1. He had some people on him, but not a majority, and he had defenders.

At least, lying about his role in terms of making up win conditions/lying about win conditions. If you're going to lie about your 3P role or scum role, why not just say you're town. Even if you say dumb stuff about not being killable at night, don't you just say you were joking or say you're unkillable and town?

Palmar, I've got a pet theory. If you were mafia, and you had a decent number of inactive mafia members on your team, you would have an aneurysm and become deceased.

You spent part of D1 amusing yourself with your piles and whatnot. Therefore, you didn't have an aneurysm.

So you're not mafia, unless a large percentage of mafia are active. What would you estimate your aneurysm threshold to be, in a %?

Hey Robik, would you care to chat, except that if either of us wants to use the word "fuck", we have to replacing it with the word "Robitussin"? Specifically, I'm interested in the HF side of this:

Well HF has been scummy all game. The way he's playing this game looks nothing like Heavyweight Champ to me and I'd Robitussin lynch him in a heartbeat if he keeps up this shittastic style of Robitussin play.
I didn't play in or read Heavyweight, is there a specific difference or just overall feel?

I've been worried about him on a different axis, which is mainly just that he's willing to look at past games from EVERYONE (Foolishness posts like this in Shadow, someone in Newbie somethingIV, VA has been explicit in past games that he doesn't like catching up on threads, etc.), but was scummy on DI for a while. And again, while it's super shitty, DI has a well-agree-upon very very very easy to read scum style, which is don't post don't do stuff get killed because you're lololololol obvious. It's out of place to be reading all these past games and commenting on them here, and then be scummy on DI.

His activity is high, I don't dislike most of his comments, but just that and a crappy comparison between his trolling and Palmar's trolling (in defense to marv's voting him for antagonizing you and trolling /w palmar early) are under my skin. I've played against scumHoly before and don't have anything particular in mind that he did that game, he generally looked town and got along until maybe tripping himself up on some crucial votes/reads late.

So what in particular is missing? Beyond that, I think that you should open yourself up to the truth about radiation. X-rays, cancer treatments, ...infrared thermometers? Radiation does a lot of helpful things for mankind. I think you're giving it a bad rap.

Okay, already in just the first few pages of syllo's filter from CT, there is a glaring thing missing from him in this game. Syllo and sandro are super good friends, and discuss mafia games between each other all the time and have an uncanny knack for reading each other. In CT, syllo kept poking at sandro trying to get a read on him, and then posted this:

I was going to wait until tomorrow so I could see who people are pushing today without me, to an extent, locking down discussion. I don't think it's particularly working though and kita can't wait (whether he is town remains to be seen, but I don't think it's worth the gamble).

I'm fairly certain that sandroba is mafia. He hasn't done anything useful whole game long and he definitely could have. Everything that I've said about him before is still applicable. Even if he has been busy, it was by choice. No one forced him to run for election and he could have at any time dropped out and supported me. If he was town, I think he would have as soon as he figured out that I'm town.

Moreover, his attitude when he came back is still wrong. Instead of attempting to convince me or even address me, he just addresses everyone generally. He claims that I have been paranoid about his alignment in merc mini and that 80+ player game, but that is false or an exaggeration. In the huge game I was, in fact, pushing him for mayor on day 1 (we were both town). In merc mini I was only slightly suspicious because his ability completely broke the game, but I never wanted to lynch him at any point; the only suspicions were voiced over PM.

If he was town, he would be attempting to convince me, not play down my ability to read him accurately. To those who believe sandroba is town, what do you think mafia did on day 1? Who is mafia? Did they really have no one who could have ran and won? Do you think it's kita or acro were the mafia candidates then?


The whole thing is pretty telling of their relationship, but the bolded in particular: why isn't syllo trying to convince sandro that he is town this game? Why does he seem to be avoiding sandro altogether?

Yea, I think syllo is probably scum.
If you want to get sent on magical meta missions, I'd be interested in whether scum-syllo does the same thing in games where they both play or not. I don't think it's a great use of time, but this feels like nothing.

If they talk all the time about every game and wuv to figure each other out in every game they play, then they both know that (it would appear they both know this), then I see it as less scummy and more just "wtf are they doing" to not be doing the thing they always do and know they always do. I'm dragging in sandro there with "they," but from what I know it's not like syllo always talks to sandro and reads sandro, while sandro sits around snapchatting his penis.

Hey Austin, remember when I read you as town for going out of your way to make a case on someone you thought was town. You're not playing in the same manner this game. You're being more "inquisitive" instead of accusatory
Nope, I'm not, right now. This isn't even particularly equivalent to my inquisitive games (I do like being inquisitive early). Nobody's done anything to catch my attention as much as someone saying "I've been making up my reads all game and now I understand the game and will stop making up my reads except I don't actually have reads." When someone does that, I promise to jump on it and get accusatory.

Holy mafia?

I honestly don't know.
I can't trust the guy at all, like ever, especially after Cultured so it's always going to be in the back of my mind in every game unfortunately. Considering the ending of Cultured was probably largely my fault I don't think I'm the person to go to for this.

In any case there are more obvious and likely targets before him.

Also was watching random Youtube videos and I was reminded of this...
Surely when that cat picture was posted earlier in the pregame in regards to CATASTROPHE they meant to post this.

Perhaps it's more shades of CATPOCALYPSE, but I think this one fits CATASTROPHE better

I r confused.

Say we lynched amiko and amiko was being truthful or is of an alignment that wouldn't lie.

Why would syllo, who at least sandro now says should die, lie about amiko's night action on N1? What purpose is there to lie and basically 1 for 1 yourself with someone who, in the case of amiko being honest, would be 3P? (or town or whatever, but why would we insta-kill syllo?)

why does it matter? i want to cross off townies
Because it's not new information. Someone who is legit thinking "Death likely this alignment" or "Why is Death a DT?" should have thought it when it first came up. It's weird to bring that up this late after it was already revealed

Holyflare's grandmother : HolyFlare, I'm a squirrel, and last fall I ran around gathering acorns
5 years later, Holyflare's : WAIT A MINUTE. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE FOR MY HUMAN GRANDMOTHER TO SAY SHE'S A SQUIRREL AND GATHERING ACORNS


That is...a bad example, but I wanted to type it. It's just peculiar to have that gap in time, where you don't seem to be thinking about something the first time it comes up, and then hours and hours later when it's mentioned again all of a sudden you're interested.

Okay wait there's a better version where Holyflare's grandmother is elderly, and rich, and there's a decision that needs to be made about whether she's fit to live on her own or needs to be placed under someone's care. 5 years ago she said she was a squirrel and collected ACORNS in the fall, and then during some legal hearing she says it again, in the present day.

Either she's competent and lives on her own and has all her money OR she gets put under Holyflare's care and he handles all the finances.

In the case where Holyflare has no evil motives, town Holyflare, if he was worried about the squirrel comment or didn't believe it, he should have been that way 5 years ago, when the comment was made. However, if he just wants to find things suspicious about people, or show that his grandmother doesn't have her wits about her, then 5 years in the future he could suddenly have a bolt of lightning that she probably wasn't well because she did say she was a squirrel 5 years ago.

It fits better, in that it's opportunistic not to question something when it first comes up, and then randomly jump on it later. IT'S STILL NOT PERFECT BECAUSE YOU WOULD PROBABLY NOTICE WHEN THE QUESTION OF COMPETENCY COMES UP THAT YOUR GRANDMOTHER THINKS SHE IS A SQUIRREL, BUT ALSO VE'S ALIGNMENT WASN'T REALLY IN QUESTION WHEN THIS DEATH/DT STUFF CAME UP AGAIN, SO IT'S STILL NOT A PERFECT HYPOTHETICAL STUPID EXAMPLE BUT IT'S MUCH CLOSER.

Holyflare, do you want your grandmother's fortune?

People you message will have an improved ability to communicate with each other. They also might go insane. You are not quite sure what this means, but that might be because you are a bit crazy yourself. You also may also, twice per game at night, PM a host to put a message into the day post.

Why is what you did, "Hey guys I'm softhard claiming dimensional lemming" retarded to do as mafia?


i've never seen dimensional lemming in a game before so the only knowledge i have is that it's a mafia role (if i was mafia) and also the fact that i checked the awards thread where lemming was voted best mafia role. So there is no knowledge that lemming COULD be town in this game so there is 0% chance that i would risk claiming lemming this game if i was mafia at the start of the game onwards, that's why it would be retarded (to me at least)
SO HERE'S WHY I ASK

You were softhard claiming this on D1. A bunch. This is a 30 person game. 29 of the people are NOT YOU.

And the ENTIRE time you're doing this, how many people said "dimensional lemming was a mafia role last time, therefore HF is mafia."

I believe the answer is 0. If it's higher, it's like 1-2 max.

You have straight up evidence from this game that people don't just connect a role that's been mafia once to being mafia always. How can you think it would be otherwise? You can't honestly say it's retarded and people would think this when you KNOW they don't, because THEY JUST DIDN'T.

His list is bad and is the "people not voting" list. There are a number of folks on there who are unlikely to be mafia.

The kita/foolishness list, modified in a couple ways, is better (drop syllo for his scum claim, drop poofter for being dead, drop amiko for the syllo bit)

Nonono. You're claiming, right now, that it's retarded.

The evidence HAS already happened. D1 happened, nobody cared about your claim and said it meant you were mafia.


So it's not okay for you to think, TODAY, that claiming dimensional lemming as mafia is retarded, because you know what happens when you claim dimensional lemming. Nobody calls you mafia for it.

And you're using this, in part, to justify the stuff you said about everyone being 3P who "wins with the town" when EVERY GREEN AND BLUE ROLE PM SO FAR HAS FLIPPED SAYING THAT.

Which you followed up by saying the green flips didn't say that, and said the people were townie. WHICH IS FALSE.

You DID claim D1 with all your questions.

You stood up in front of 29 people and said "I really like animals that live in water, and swim, and have gills, animals that we can cook and eat, animals that are grouped into a category that starts with the letter F"

29 people just looked at you

You stood up in front of 29-x people the next day and said "It would be stupid for anyone to say they liked Fish. Because people who like Fish in the past have been mafia."



We all KNEW you meant you liked fish on D1. And we just looked at you, we didn't call you mafia. So it's entirely illogical for you to think, today, that saying you like fish makes people think you're mafia.

scum shot 3 towny looking people and i assumed they were 3p yeh x_x
Believed that there are 18 trillion 3Ps, (because every flipped blue so far would be 3P - marv, foolishness, kitaman, BLAZINDHAND who had the same thing, Holyflare himself, and Amiko, meaning Holyflare believed there were at least 6 3Ps in the game, and 5 of them just random 3Ps who also win with town (4 flipped people plus himself))


How is this where your brain goes? If you see THIS MANY ROLE PMS THAT SAY "you win with town" and you have PLAYED GAMES ON TL MAFIA BEFORE, how do you conclude those people are all third parties. ESPECIALLY when your conclusion (greens are town, blues are 3Ps) is not color-coded to the OP OR ANY OTHER TL MAFIA GAME, and when your conclusion RELIES ON MISREADING THE GREEN ROLE PMS THAT, IN FACT, STATE THE SAME THING AS THE BLUE ROLE PMS

no, i'm saying i got my role pm, it was blue, it doesn't say i'm town at all it just says i win with town so i'm like, that's weird wording but whatever what game shall i make it that's town favoured? i see palmar say it doesn't say his alignment, i think to myself! hey mine doesn't say that either, maybe i'm just like palmar! it doesn't say i'm town so maybe i'm 3p! check op - it says there are some 3p's where it says win with town, ok whatever i guess i am 3p!

in the meantime i go to awards thread and look for top town rated themed games, see lemming as mafia rated top game role, see games i dont really want to use here because it could go wrong, ask around in thread more and more, decide pm game!

lynch gumshoe, gumshoe has power, gumshoe is green, confirms my thoughts that i'm 3p because green people have powers too! keirathi, marv, foolishness and kita die! hey their powers are all weird not totally towny powers and they are all blue, maybe it's a super game with lots of 3p's! (drunk out of my mind on weekend too so not really paying attention)! game is pm game now, pm nobody, get pm'd by town heros, make good list of scum

here we are
Except the green role that you thought was town doesn't ever say "You are town," it only says "You win with the town."

You played in Hogwarts. Blue and green roles were town.

Back to basics had no 3rd parties and some of the flips aren't in the main host filter so I'm lazy and not looking to see whether there were blues but there probably were.

You played in TL XIII. Blues and Greens were town. 3Ps, the assassins, were black.

Played in World Heavyweight Championship. Green and blue were both town.

Played in II Titanic. Blues and Greens were town. 3P, sebastian, was black.

I can keep going, but I imagine that I'm going to find only games where Blue meant you were town, and all 3Ps were in Black. Cuz that's...how it always is.

Well, for one, everyone is green and apparently there was a big difference between green and blue in your mind

I would color JAT townie. He's on the right track here, he looked alright to me previously. The only hesitation is him not wanting a syllo shot and then being perfectly fine with syllo as a lynch option, but he can go to the bottom of a townpile, as I was townie myself on syllo D1 (although I didn't flop from townie --> good lynch like JAT seems to have (before the whole visitation and poofter check junk).

I color poofter only slightly less town, not as a lynch for today, but to follow his checks and make sure he's doing what he says he's doing. Syllo is a very visible player, and became SUPER visible today. If scum think they're going to lose him soonish no matter what, and poofter looks iffy, he's fine to say he's got a red check on syllo.

I would color rayn honorary red for killing a townie.

I think I like that WoS read, not sure on that hopeless one.

No, different thoughts.

If you don't think anyone should give a shit about the color of a role, then do Holyflare's thoughts and actions make sense to you as coming from a townie? Do they make sense as coming from a scum? Do they make sense as scum slipping and trying to cover up that slip? Do they just not make sense period?

^ snb is a curious one, just because he always seems to post only a little but they're really good thoughts and I always agree with them or find them logical, regardless of what alignment he is.

Liking foolishness's posts was a plus. Liking foolishness's read on iamp PROBABLY a big plus if iamp is red. I think sandro is a good target for snb to give a gun to, so that's fine, and him checking up to see whether that was his gun's shot is pretty good.

I think he's fine.

As posted above, I think it's probably coming from a townie POV. As scum, it's probably a bad idea to argue over semantics and make yourself look bad. I think there's probably a reasoning over the difference in coloring the role but not one that is currently visible to the town nor the one that HF is proposing. It's townie to trying and figure it out though. If he was mafia, anyone that wins with town is his enemy anyways so he probably wouldn't care much. The only way it would be a good play as mafia is if he's trying to drum up paranoia or some shit but it doesn't make any sense.

He didn't bring that up to talk about it. He was forced to because what he says doesn't add up.
This is the "It's scummy to do scummy things as scum, so scum wouldn't do scummy things" argument.

It is usually a mafia argument, and often mafia defending mafia

austin you've been talking a lot about this holyflare role confusion thing but why does it make him scum

break down the scenario for me

like, are you trying to say it's a literal scumslip because he didnt know how the town wincon was phrased? or is there something more than that?
It's maybe a combo. He's a person I've been suspicious of, so start from a suspicious mindset if you're trying to be in my head.

(1) There's something that might be a slip (does not know how town role PMs are phrased). It MIGHT be a weird thought from town.

(2) When trying to explain the thing in (1), he says things that are not true (Keirathi' and Gumshoe's role PMs say they're town and not that they win with town ---> this is false). Saying things that are untrue is more likely to be mafia than town, means it's more likely a slip than a weird thought, because a townie having a weird thought doesn't use untruths to substantiate his weird thoughts.

(3) Continues to argue that the statement from (1) is a weird thought from a townie, by saying
  • I cannot be mafia, because it would be dumb for mafia to have my role and claim it.
  • I assumed all the people with "win with the town" were 3P


(4) The FIRST bit there, that he can't be mafia because of the claim, is not of any value. It's clear from THIS GAME that when you claim dimensional lemming, not everyone thinks you're mafia. This is important because HOLY CRAP HE'S THE DIMENSIONAL LEMMING HIMSELF, HE KNOWS HOW PEOPLE REACTED TO HIS CLAIM, AND THEREFORE HE KNOWS HOW PEOPLE REACT TO A CLAIM, AND IT'S THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT HE'S SAYING. Does that make sense? He is implying he's town because mafia would do what he's done, because x would happen. We all KNOW x wouldn't happen, so his argument is just based on a falsehood.

The SECOND bit there requires him assuming at least 5-6 third parties in this game. Which I think is ridiculous, and cannot be a legitimate thought he had.


Because of (2), him using untruths to try and show how his thought was townie and not a mafia slip, and because of (4), how his further comments are nonsensical coming from a townie/being real thoughts, and HF is not normally a person to just hold a bunch of nonsensical thoughts, it looks more like he's making things up to try and make his comment look more like a dumb comment than a slip.

Dude, what are you even saying? Do you think Greymist used a bunch of different colors cause he felt like making the game prettier?

If your answer is yes, then enjoy your stay in lala land
If not, there's a reasoning. I think HF argument on the blue vs green was terrible. Why does HF care if he's mafia? You even called it a slip. If HF is mafia, how does he know who is 3p and who is town. He doesn't even have the info.
I am saying you look scummier for that comment.

"As scum, it's a bad idea to do something that makes you look bad. Therefore, someone who does something that makes him look bad is town."

That is GENERALLY a mafia argument when I've seen it. Within the last week it has been used by mafia to defend a scumbuddy on this forum.

Like, fill in some proper names there. "As scum, it'a a bad idea to do something that makes you look bad. Therefore, Holyflare is town because he did something that made him look bad (this argument)." Within that statement, you're saying HolyFlare did something that looked bad. Otherwise the "scum wouldn't do things that look bad" argument is inapplicable, you HAVE to have done something that looked bad for it to be a relevant argument.

But you just push that aside entirely and give some silliness about how he can't have info on 3Ps or would be paranoid or would know that "wins with the town" = TEH ENEMIEZ

Does that make sense? He is implying he's town because mafia would do what he's done, because x would happen. We all KNOW x wouldn't happen, so his argument is just based on a falsehood.

The SECOND bit there requires him assuming at least 5-6 third parties in this game. Which I think is ridiculous, and cannot be a legitimate thought he had.


Because of (2), him using untruths to try and show how his thought was townie and not a mafia slip, and because of (4), how his further comments are nonsensical coming from a townie/being real thoughts, and HF is not normally a person to just hold a bunch of nonsensical thoughts, it looks more like he's making things up to try and make his comment look more like a dumb comment than a slip.


Do you have any theories over the color difference?
My theory is that it doesn't matter
Also I suppose I should present evidence to support this theory.

In Aperture 1 - There were green and blue roles. Both were town. There was no difference.

Aperture 2 and Chrono Trigger both had just blues. You get no links.

I don't remember other Greymist games off the top of my head, someone else might.

I'd kill Killing.

Townies defend people who do scummy stuff by saying "He did a thing that's normally scummy, but this case is different because of x, y, z" or "He did a thing that's normally scummy, but I think these other things he's done are townie, and overall he's townie." Scum defend people who do scummy stuff by saying "He did a thing that's normally scummy, but scum don't like being scummy, so him doing a scummy thing makes him town." (BECAUSE HOLY CRAP THE MOMENT YOU MAKE THAT ARGUMENT ONCE, EVERYONE IN THE GAME EVER WHO DOES SCUMMY STUFF IS KINDA TOWN IN YOUR BOOK AND THAT MAKES NO SENSE)

You're assuming the catastrophe will be town specific. It's possible that it makes the game harder for mafia and 3p at the same time. I think we also have to put some value on the button. We need to know how important it is to have it guarded or try to deactivate it compared to using our town powers. It might be that it's better to have weaker roles guard the button rather than carry out their business. If we don't make a plan to deal with the button, mafia might just make a rush for it if they assume the consequences will fall on the town side.
Here, Killing is of the mindset that perhaps that Catastrophe is good for town. This is true, we don't know what the Catastrophe is, and whether it's good or bad.

So you're not town.........
Here, Hopeless is not town because he wants Catastrophe to happen. Implying that Catastrophe is bad for town only.

Which is the opposite of the above. We have learned nothing about Catastrophe, are entirely unsure what it does. Killing argues that it MIGHT be beneficial to town, perhaps, but then that Hopeless is scum for wanting it to happen.

There's nothing else that jumps out at me in Killing's filter to push me either way. Some participation in goings-on, random calls for speculation about the button and whatnot, but in general nothing overly townie or scummy, besides that stance on the Catastrophe.

I mainly would be alright with killing him for the argument above on HF.

Based on all the button speculation, his role is probably interested in the button somehow, just in one of those bluesnipey ways where constantly talking about x means your role involves x.

What...? I'm saying i DID talk about it how are you being so dense. I am saying that it proves I'm not mafia because if i was mafia i got a traditionally mafia sided role and then started talking about it in thread straight away which would be suicide. That does not add up at all!

You're saying that you DID talk about it, but saying that you WOULDN'T talk about it if you were mafia. I disagree with that. Yeah, we're not meeting heads on here, you DID talk about it, we agree, you WOULDN'T talk about it as mafia, we disagree there.

"Traditionally" is a stretch.

And again. What you're arguing is that when someone talks about that role, people will assume they're mafia. THAT is your reason for saying mafia wouldn't talk about having this role.

But nobody assumed you were mafia for your role. 29 people, 0 assumptions. So your argument that mafiaHoly wouldn't talk about his role is WEAK at best, MEANINGLESS to me, because we KNOW that people don't do what you are saying you think they would.

THIS IS WHAT IM SAYING, why would i take that risk!?!?!?!? how can i predict the future that everyone would just put it aside, if i was mafia HOW DO I KNOW that powers don't = alignments, I CANNOT know that unless i got a mafia role but in a town (or what i thought was 3p town win con) alignment!
You're a step off.

You're arguing hard for this being a risk, for thinking that mafia wouldn't do something because people would find it all scummy. But you're arguing that now, today, when D1 shows that it is a bad argument. If you HELD that belief, if you're being truthful, then your belief was questionable and you shouldn't be using it to bolster your arguments. If you NEVER HELD that belief, because you're lying, then you're pretty much mafia for lying so oh well.

You may have thought there was a risk, but at this point in time you shouldn't be thinking there was and arguing about it and thinking that it's a strong point.

Really, I just just generally seen town Holyflare make sensible arguments and whatnot. In this game, you're making THESE arguments, and you're thinking DI is scum on D1 and pushing that.

Random people are correct that this should stop, however. Whatchoo think about Killing's comment on you?

There are some hints of it in my role as well. Do you think dragons are good or bad?
I believe most Grey roles to be balanced, especially in games like this with multiple counters, and apparently insanity and dragons and whatnot. I think, on the whole, Grey is unlikely to make a "Chaos counter to 0" role in this game, especially where the chaos counter is apparently bad for town if it gets high. It's there to loom and be bad and to make us use roles that influence the chaos counter in a certain way.

It's not there for some townie to go "LOL ZERO NOW" and wipe out any decision making. At least, that's my personal opinion.

heck, I'm more inclined to believe that, if this were a townie role, it would be balanced out by something BAD. Giving up a power, doing something negative, whatever, because things that are very good for town, stuck on townies, are often balanced. Look at all the "you have this passive and this active, when you activate the active your passive is gone" roles that have already flipped. Based on what I know, there are few "This is good and always good and will only do good things ever, enjoy!" roles, especially of the sort that are affecting counters.

But I also don't necessarily believe it's a townie role, still think Killing is unlikely to be blue or green, and is more likely to be red. The bad kind of red.


Geript, my offer stands. Based on the last couple pages, I don't think you're going to get a better offer. I don't even see anyone offering half an ankle, or to let you stare at their faces without a veil, or sit in the same room as them, or coyly engage them in discourse about the monarchy.

Most times, scum generally don't make insightful posts. It just doesn't happen. Like a lot of times those type of posts come from town. Prplhz did the same thing in cell where he made some pretty insightful posts on me but early I was blindly tunneled on him and Rayn was blindly tunneled on me so I didn't stop to actually read and analyze either properly. So when you see a good post like that, it's generally town seeking some sort of confirmation. Is it quite possibly a scum soft pushing a mislynch based on perceived behavioral difference? Sure. But I don't think so. Like he doesn't bother pushing that point at all and doesn't lump HF in his scumpile. I just think he's town who's wrong/bad/whatever. That simple.

As for your promise/bet/offer/whatever, like I don't care if you show me ankle, your not hard pee pee or Marv's heterosexually challenged pee pee. I'm not role claiming. I will however be more than happy to read Joey.
Okeedoke on the claiming.

So that post is...LSB trying to figure out HF, but not pushing him for scum? You think he's legit trying to learn about HF's play to read him? THIS ISN'T REALLY A TRAP HERE I JUST DON'T GET THE SAME SENSE YOU DO FROM THAT BUT I'D LIKE TO ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND WHERE YOUR SENSE IS COMING FROM

My thoughts: Who gives a shit about the color of my role.
No, different thoughts.

If you don't think anyone should give a shit about the color of a role, then do Holyflare's thoughts and actions make sense to you as coming from a townie? Do they make sense as coming from a scum? Do they make sense as scum slipping and trying to cover up that slip? Do they just not make sense period?


As posted above, I think it's probably coming from a townie POV. As scum, it's probably a bad idea to argue over semantics and make yourself look bad. I think there's probably a reasoning over the difference in coloring the role but not one that is currently visible to the town nor the one that HF is proposing. It's townie to trying and figure it out though. If he was mafia, anyone that wins with town is his enemy anyways so he probably wouldn't care much. The only way it would be a good play as mafia is if he's trying to drum up paranoia or some shit but it doesn't make any sense.

He didn't bring that up to talk about it. He was forced to because what he says doesn't add up.
This is the "It's scummy to do scummy things as scum, so scum wouldn't do scummy things" argument.

It is usually a mafia argument, and often mafia defending mafia


Dude, what are you even saying? Do you think Greymist used a bunch of different colors cause he felt like making the game prettier?

If your answer is yes, then enjoy your stay in lala land
If not, there's a reasoning. I think HF argument on the blue vs green was terrible. Why does HF care if he's mafia? You even called it a slip. If HF is mafia, how does he know who is 3p and who is town. He doesn't even have the info.
I am saying you look scummier for that comment.

"As scum, it's a bad idea to do something that makes you look bad. Therefore, someone who does something that makes him look bad is town."

That is GENERALLY a mafia argument when I've seen it. Within the last week it has been used by mafia to defend a scumbuddy on this forum.

Like, fill in some proper names there. "As scum, it'a a bad idea to do something that makes you look bad. Therefore, Holyflare is town because he did something that made him look bad (this argument)." Within that statement, you're saying HolyFlare did something that looked bad. Otherwise the "scum wouldn't do things that look bad" argument is inapplicable, you HAVE to have done something that looked bad for it to be a relevant argument.

But you just push that aside entirely and give some silliness about how he can't have info on 3Ps or would be paranoid or would know that "wins with the town" = TEH ENEMIEZ

did you forget that was an option? I need CATASTROPHE™ to occur if I'm going to make any money.


So you're not town.........
Here, Hopeless is not town because he wants Catastrophe to happen. Implying that Catastrophe is bad for town only.

Which is the opposite of the above. We have learned nothing about Catastrophe, are entirely unsure what it does. Killing argues that it MIGHT be beneficial to town, perhaps, but then that Hopeless is scum for wanting it to happen.

I've joined 200+ page games before, big themed ones, and a Greymist game in Chrono.

I know the feeling, and also, btw, it's impossible. You'll never catch up, you have to play going forward. Especially since you're missing PM stuff that I wasn't in those games.

But I'm making the point for everyone, that wasn't specifically at you. I'm happy to catch you up on what I've done, but I'm not saying "Hey Geript, Killing is wonky/scummy/lying/blah blah." I don't believe, in general, that he's town and I don't believe, in general, that he's truthful about his role being OH YA HALP TOWN MANY HALP KK

I trust that he PMed some people and it made him look townier.

I don't trust that you fully know his role or what it does or whether he understands what it does, unless you yourself or someone else has the text of his role via check or logging into his account or being Greymist.

And I really don't think that "he doesn't even know what the majority of it is used for" points in ANY direction. Like...that's irrelevant to alignment, imo.

"Hey guys I used my role so I'm super town and it did super town stuff and now I'm super town kkkk. Also I don't know what a majority of my role is good for. It might be good for mafia! I dunno. But it's townie and I'm townie yum yum."

If you don't know what your role really does, when it's useful, what it's useful for, AND YOU'RE BEING TRUTHFUL about your role, then how in the world can you argue that your role is townie and it's use is townie. You're claiming both to not know exactly what it does AND know that what you're doing is townie townie.

What he did is not the main function of his role. His role has another function. Anyway. Maybe he lied. You're right. But I think he was being sincere in our conversation
There's a whole chain of questionable crap there then.

Base level - maybe he lies
Next level - he doesn't know what he does
Next level - he argues that he's town for doing one town favored thing as part of his role

If you trust he wasn't lying about his role, that's fine fine. But if he sincerely DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE REALLY DOES OR WHY IT'S GOOD, then it is difficult for me to go "Oh that's great, makes perfect sense he'd argue he's town based on his role." Because IF he's been 100% truthful, he doesn't actually KNOW if he's town-favored apparently. And if he's NOT being truthful, that's just a problem in and of itself.

Like...sincerely not knowing what you do or why it's useful is incompatible with "I did this thing with my role and it is townie so my role is townie so I'm town." Add that to his defense-ish of HF, no bueno.

For instance. You are Robik. How do you feel about that HF defense post? HF probably town because he wouldn't do this anti-town thing as mafia.

Okay, thanks for answering.

For all, I will note that things like "Having townie role and using it in townie way" or just "Using role in townie way" AND "having a ridiculous role PM that simply cannot be made up" are BOTH things that I've used to look town in Greymist games (and other themed games).

Scum with verifiable actions can't really always do anti-town stuff with their roles, because someone will verify or check up on them, and go LOLOLOL YOU SCUM. This isn't true of ALL actions, but it's true of a whole heck of a lot of them. I'm more interested in the actual posting than the role, what I'm arguing about the role is that I believe people are super overvaluing whatever it is they value about the claim, and that Killing HIMSELF should not be able to argue "i'm town based on role" while also saying "I dunno what my role does fully."

If I have a chest full of stuff, I can't go "I am rich because I have so much stuff in this chest" and also go "I don't know what's in this chest or how much it's worth." I AM ON FIRE WITH MOSTLY TERRIBLE ANALOGIES TO WEIRD SITUATIONS THIS GAME.

So the spectre, who can visit people and see what they did, and can report their actions (somewhat) to the thread with a vote.......................

can't visit Killing. If someone were super tunneled on Killing, they would say that this COULD indicate that Killing does Bad Things So Bad That The Spectre Cannot Know Them.

No, my role has "If the spectre visits you, he will dissipate". I didn't know if spectre was good or bad so I didn't tell anyone.


You didn't do anything.

Once he has placed his vote (or at the end of the 3rd day), the Spectre dissipates and travels to the great beyond.


Then where was the lynch if he placed a vote? He would have dissipated last night.
It is likely someone, and more likely than not someone scummy, has a power that skips a day. In PYP games it's "prince of darkness," basically a one-shot power to go from night --> night.

Also, paranoid musing, if this was a power that could be activated early on, I don't understand why scum wouldn't. More dead folks when you have maximum KP is nice.

POSSIBLY looks bad for geript, although we don't know that whatever this is was a N1 usable power, or didn't come from an item, or something else

I'm not sure if I'm lonely or not.

For I am Quetzalcoatl, the Bird God of Thunder. My cloacal protuberances are townie and vast.

Should your eyes seek to gaze upon my protuberances, you could not. They are too vast for your eyes to comprehend. You might discern a fold, a wrinkle, a few hair follicles, but you could not comprehend the enormity of my protuberances with your eyes and your knowledge.

In the same manner, you may look upon a friend of mine, but he is a single friend wrinkle upon my protuberances. There may yet be other wrinkles. Concern yourself not with the wrinkles of my protuberances. For now.

We got a dead scummer. Koshi took the actual shot, I used a different action last night, so he would have been the killer if LSB had an item/items. Koshi also should have used a particular item or had a particular item that I assume you guys know about, and shot LSB + guarded button.

The yes-ish bit is that (1) you should now be part of the group, unless I was blocked or something got in the way. Nobody has shown up today, and I've got a bunch of posts in all caps now wondering where you are and why you're not speaking. (2) Unless anyone has a killing machine repair kit + de-radiationator, we are unlikely to be able to pop off any more mafias

Okay. I'm not sure whether my action went through or not. Based on you not getting anything and the counters being where they are, I believe that I got blocked or something.

You should have received something and the radiation counter should have decreased, and my lovely Scum Shooter should not have broken.

So i THINK I was blocked or delayed, unless someone else raised the radiation by 2 (cancelling my lowering), in which case the numbers work out for the problem to be on your end, and not on mine. If there's a way to confirm that you were actionable-upon last night without revealing anything, I'd be interested, because it would give me a small amount of insight into how the counters should have moved/actually moved.

If you're actually protecting dudes, I would protect someone else. I've been mostly on the sidelines of this game, or up in my nest, and don't have as many shots as I thought I would end up having (unless I'm lying and gonna shoot more scum pewpew).

So now that LSB is confirmed mafia, can you explain why I used my role delaying power on something on a fellow mafia member when I didn't even know you were going to shoot him?


(1) We don't know whatcho stuff does
(2) YOU JUST CALLED HIM A FELLOW MAFIA MEMBER. SUP SCUM
(3) I'm unsure how not knowing he was gonna get got is a ... positive. Scum is more likely to empower scumbuddies or whatever if they don't think scumbuddies will get shot. If you KNEW he was gonna get shot and still did something AND he died, that's a point in your favor (why waste juice on a guy who will be deaded). But because you didn't know, it's not a plus for you.

Because VA said he wanted to kill LSB in our QT and LSB ended up dying so I was like "Meh maybe he's town after all". There was nothing that said there HAD to be scum in our QT, only that it was possible...so I took a leap of faith.
If you're not town-aligned, could you please give me a different answer that conflicts with earlier stuff?

I'd be kind of interested in everyone who says "there is / there's probably a scum in the town circle" to specify WHO they think it might be, or who the circle even is.

Otherwise, those statements feel like they say very little / nothing, and are based on just the assumption that "in a group of x size, there will be scum," when we may have absolutely no idea who we're talking about.


paper, why does town "running a train on mafia" --> at least 1 scum being in the town circle?

In the case that we're worried about Oats doing something strange at lynch time, I'd rather a couple key townies be on the secondary lynch, not just random people.

I don't particularly see "unlynchable" scum, but there are other roles that would interact with a vote or lynch like a twist on being vengeful or something. Other crap too, but most of the time if a role does something at lynch, it does something to the people voting and not to folks not voting. I'd rather hedge towards more safety and have whatever couple people are on a second wagon and not oats be super townies, or people critical to magical townie plans. Dunno if that gives too much away by showing scum who is valuable, but we've already had some roles claimed and whatnot, at the very least we should be able to get a couple people off oats and the vast majority on.

Voting oats mesself.

Nvm, just read through his filter and he claimed saruman. Let's kill him. Fuck everyone that claims 3p. Oats not town.
I'm still kind of interested in the above, based on what he's posted.

Do you have a moment to talk about the glory and love of ABBA?

I do not want you to die without the love of ABBA in your heart.

I have a feeling that you listen to other scandinavian artists, worship the A of -Ha and the Ace of Base. But I can offer you a chance to repent and open your heart to ABBA. Even if you are mafia, it would be unwise to enter the afterlife without knowing the true love of our Swedish masters.

So, my child, do you accept the light of ABBA into your, admittedly short, remaining life?

Please, if you wish to know the wonders of ABBA, link to your favorite ABBA song in the thread. A written acceptance of ABBA and this small act of atonement are all that is required.

We believe that, by accepting ABBA, you will either gain immediate acceptance into the obs thread, or spend a peaceful purgatory in the TL Automated Ban List thread (reading only, not as a ban), until such time as the gates of obs may open to you.

Should you fail to find your way, your afterlife may be spent answering a phone, the number of which is given out to every poster complaining of balance issues in any game.

On a serious note, I didn't adjust either counter yesterday. I can drop radiation slightly tonight, but have to increase chaos to do so. If there's no difference in 3 and "more than 3" chaos, I will start doing so.

Why would you do something non-KP-y to oats?

Given the message attached to his unlynchability, and given the balance we've seen in other roles (use x, give up y), he's unlikely to be as dangerous as Random Scummer X, or Random Possible Scummer X.

That's a LOT of juice if it all came from oats and more oats (or oats and buddy).

Paperscraps is thinking pretty quickly about the counters though. At the very least, it's really likely he <3s himself some radiation. I think it's also decently likely that something he did adjusted the counters.

Austin. I don't really get your point. Like I feel it's pretty obvious IMO that Oats is mafia and his teammate saved him. I remember Wave was 3P with VE maybe in chrono 2 and the could res each other I think, but normally players can't take more than one action per phase and iirc GM tends to follow that rule. So Oats teammate had to have saved him. I don't get how you don't see what I'm saying and how you don't come to this conclusion too.

was really odd. Robik doesn't say anything other than it's fucking dumb, and you drop that you can't see non-town being immune to lynch always.

Nobody mentioned being immune to lynch always, and there's basically less than zero chance oats is town. But that post reads wrong, it reads like you're going "if oats can never be lynched, he's probably not scum. If he's mafia, we can lynch him tomorrow." In response to "fucking dumb."

And here you say "oats' partner." Not "scumbuddy", not one of his teammates, just his partner. Scum don't have "partners", there's a team. Partner sounded like you meant 3P or something.

It's odd language, and odd ... thought processes imo.

By the light of ABBA, does anyone see what I'm talking about? Just that it's a strange response to robik? I can understand if anyone thinks I'm being weird about "partner", but ... this is curious, yes?

No it's pretty clear IMO. Like I highly doubt he's anything but mafia and this is a Greymist game. We've seen odd 3p powers on 3P before so I'm not ruling that out entirely. It's pretty obvious to me that whoever he's aligned with has helped him out. Plus, generally only town gets truly lynch proof status because that becomes super godawful for town on non-town entities. It's just a simple thought process. Like I really don't see where this push is coming from.

Partner because it's fucking obvious to me that he couldn't use 2 powers on the same day phase because that's fucking frowned upon and I don't think GM would let people do that in his game. So therefore he has to have at least one teammate or partner to use said power to fucking help him kill my Wubby or to help him not get lynched. Like how is this not fucking obvious to you in what I'm fucking saying? Right now I'm having a really hard time thinking that any of your pushes make any fucking sense because you've picked on things that are completely non-alignment indicative(killings role, my phrasing) while avoiding everything else. It's really hard for me to imagine that a solid player like you is this fucking dense the whole game.
Language, mister.

If this is true, you interpreted Robik's statement in a way that is funky to me, much different than my own interpretation ("this is fucking dumb" = wtf we just wasted a whole cycle on oats without doing a bunch, and now he's just lynch immune at the end and we no lynch? Bollocks")

And "partner" IS STILL JUST WEIRD. YEAH WE KNOW THAT SCUM HAS MULTIPLE PEOPLE BUT WHO SAYS PARTNER.

Don't care. If you're town and have suspected killing off and on for a while, why haven't you built on or analyzed my various points on Killing?
Because you have 2 posts on why killing is/might be mafia, and one is heavily based on video mafia stuff, which I can't confirm/deny/credit. You also seem to fully disagree with my reasons for suspecting killing, when I find my reasons to be the sexiest.

I SPECIFICALLY find them sexy because kushm4sta JUST used the "he's doing something scummy but scum wouldn't do scummy stuff so he's town" line as scum in Doctor Who 2.

I dunno. His reads popping in/out i like. video mafia stuff i can do nothing with. And if he flips scum, it looks good for you I think, finding him scummy from a different angle than I do. It's odd for you to be creeped out by me for that reason, because USUALLY it's good when multiple people are finding someone scummy, and for varied reasons.

I've also continued poking around a bit. His comment about oats being town earlier today was FUNKY, and i noted that, but never got an answer. The LSB stuff also popped out to me on reading him over again. Blah blah blah your points smell my points rule long live ABBA.

I'm pretty good with that list except:

1. I'm not town on austin but I don't have the info that you claim to have.
2. I'm not town on snb, I don't really have a good read on him. I can't even recall a lot of what he has said, hasn't really stuck out.
3. Same with WoS but I'm leaning town on him.
4. I'm not town on HF but the going full crazy over blue green reads townie to me imo. If I was mafia, I wouldn't argue about color for 3 pages.
5. Paperscraps could be colored as green. I've probably spoken to him the most during the pm phase.

Rest is coool

Okay. I know the feeling, it's about what made me ask koshi to shoot him over killing (the other option du nuit). He tends to look scummy for DOING stuff that can be scummy, and here he was doing jack and had that weird syllo vote.

Oats if mafia and dicking around. We are partially getting caught up in it, and should probably quit interacting with him.

I forgot about BH's counter changing, hopeless didn't see snb's post, we're missing stuff NOW and not reading over stuff in the past by just dicking around with oats.

Oats has rejected the ABBA. Shun the nonbeliever. SHUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

geript, question.

If scum has a "target player can't be lynched this cycle" mechanic on someone, why do they wait until now to use it? Could stick it on syllo or iamp earlier, possibly save a power of theirs and also keep a KP maybe, depending on numbers. Could stick it on Gumshoe D1, give no flip information, and PROBABLY have gumshoe be the lynch D2. Save it for a townie on a critical day coming up, no lynch, another set of NKs, and we PROBABLY lynch that dude the next day.

Do you think, if you actually work through it, that a buddy/partner/forbidden lover/supplicant/trusted librarian of Oats's would use that power on Oats? ESPECIALLY if snb's bit is legit and he just has one-shot abilities.

because oats has the pardon, oats' buddy has the janitor oats wants to sell as his own power.
(Right but I'm still working on figuring out Geript. He's not the most likely scum out of the non-oats, I still dislike Killing more, and geript has some townie stuff going for him. But his response to Robik still reads funky to me, and talking about how someone else would have used that on oats yesterday continued to eat at me, and this is one reason why. He's just...making these statements and coming to conclusions that I don't <3, that I don't understand, but they lack that SCUMMY reasoning behind them. Like, who cares who used oats-is-lynchable juice, it doesn't matter if it's oats or something else, and geript doesn't seem to be trying to SAVE oats at all by saying someone else did something to him, so there's no reason for scum to type that odd conclusion in thread, but it bugs me and bugs me so poke poke)

If scum used that on a townie oats... Why did oats say he could not be lynched?
You hear the ABBA, but you clearly do not read with the blue eyes of the swedes.

I'm not suggesting oats is townie or town. I'm trying to understand what geript is thinking when he posts these:

Austin. I don't really get your point. Like I feel it's pretty obvious IMO that Oats is mafia and his teammate saved him. I remember Wave was 3P with VE maybe in chrono 2 and the could res each other I think, but normally players can't take more than one action per phase and iirc GM tends to follow that rule. So Oats teammate had to have saved him. I don't get how you don't see what I'm saying and how you don't come to this conclusion too.

DI, i got...nothing in particular to ask about that. I generally believe it, just because you weren't looking scummy and apparently have been doing some townie stuff.

My only real question I guess is that you seem concerned with JAT throughout your filter, but not with Amiko much. I can understand "makes sense that there could be another survivor", but ... you didn't question his claim at all because of that? Or question just general play / claimed item abilities / comment about not being sure about committing himself to ABBA.

Okay you real.

If I were a survivor and someone else claimed survivor with some item-y shits, I would immediate distrust them and think they were lying about wincon or faction, like 95%. Heck, I'd think they were lying even if I weren't a survivor. I don't understand "oh yeah, their role doesn't do shit for a survivor ---> therefore, they're a survivor," but I don't think you type that if you're not being honest here.

my thing doesnt say that oats only has one-shot abilities. I just get to know the number of one-shot abilities that he has. He could have other abilities that are not one-shot.
My b then, but I think the point behind my question is still there. Why does scum save oats over doing nearly anything else.

KP is scum/2 right? So saving IamP/ syllogism doesn't change anything I don't think. Like syllo's getting shot/lynched again 100%. IamP probly that way too. That doesn't save KP even for a night IMO. Now. I think it's likely just a preserve numbers thing.
I don't know how many folks scum have. IF they had an even number, then losing 2 means losing 1 KP, but losin 1 means not losing KP (KP rounds up). So saving EITHER would mean a bonus KP that night IF mafia has even number of members.

Why save oats to preserve numbers? Again, why not burn it on a townie or someone who likely has more stuff in the bag than oats. ALL uses of "x can't be lynched and you can use this right before lynch" cause chaos, screw up a lynch, and give you another night cycle. Pretty much ANY use of that power "preserves numbers", either by saving scum or by giving you NKs and probably putting the lynch the NEXT day on a target of you choosing. If that person is town, you essentially draw 2 mislynches out of town on the SAME townie.

I don't think mafia is in a position to make that play. Like oats is super fucking scum. Maybe there are long 5 scum and 2 left. Like that's my point in calling this exercise worthless. I have specific thoughts and expectations of how the game is. But it isn't like we can realistically prove any of that.

Like why in the fuck would a good player like you waste time on this?
Because it's interesting to me and whatnot, and trying to understand your thought processes helps me figure out how your brain is working and what angle you're coming from.

Doubt it. Why not just say what you're thinking because like I don't see any reason for you to be poking here. I feel like you're just wasting my time because you have your own theory/knowledge/pinky swear/whatever.
My thoughts are known. If this is a scum ability that says "target bro can't be lynched", then I think (1) it can't be infinite and (2) they don't use it on oats. I continue to work in a world in which Oats has a one-shot ability to keep himself from getting lynched (again, multi-use is ... unlikely).

You thought about past games, about actions per cycle, and why you think someone else did this. But it doesn't seem like you thought "why would they do this with oats", and I'm trying to figure out if you didn't think that through, if you believe something different from me, or if it looks like you're just making crap up for unknown reasons.

VA a solid scum suspect.

Paperscraps slightly less so, just on looking over D1? He picked up votes from 3/4 of our scummers (working off oats being scum). He ends the day with 3/4 scum votes on him, which doesn't say much I guess but you'd think they might move off once things are pushed elsewhere if paper is a scumbuddy and gumshoe ain't.

LSB's vote and posts on paper especially make him feel a little unlikely. Syllo and oats don't do much for me either way on paper, but LSB's looks unlike a scum bussing.

I just had a random thought:

People who have the ability to decrease chaos/radiation might be more likely to be scum than town. Maybe whoever used the decrease of chaos/radiation or whatever the fuck decreased after oats wasn't lynched, maybe that has something to do with the counter decreasing. Like, mafia used a pro mafia ability and chaos decreased. Town uses abilities (as described in BH's role and poofter's role) and chaos/radiation goes up.

Thoughts?
Not anything solid right now. Seems like some people interact with radiation in different ways, chaos feels more likely to me (as a means of balancing other stuff though --> scum can do something nasty but chaos goes down, town can do something good but chaos goes up). It's not anything firm to go on though.

(But it would totally implicate killing, and I mentioned this previously that I "oh yeah just erase chaos" feels like...a lie, and in a not-townie way, because town wouldn't get "decrease chaos AND DO x" because the former is already super sexy for town).

I believe, however, that chaos is now 0 because we hit 3 or more, triggering the event thing.

Or you could just read the reasoning I gave for why it would be highly unlikely that Scraps is town. Like it's not just the 3/4 thing it's that they were on that wagon with 10 hours left in the day. Considering their preponderance not to bus, that's really weird for them to bus a teammate there when it's quite possible that another wagon doesn't form.

I'm out and won't be around til partway through the next day. My current thoughts would be that would be Oats > Killing > somewhere in VA/amiko/hopeless.

I think people who haven't done things that are provable need to be questioned/suspected/copped, because we KNOW that someone used an anti-BH power, someone used a prince of darkness equivalent. I'm not talking "Dude A says he did x," but actual things that we can PROVE occurred, and were claimed without counterclaim, or things that we can HEAVILY INFER occurred (a medic who claimed to protect a key target on a night where no kills occurred, perhaps). Also, we've seen plenty of people with more than one ability, so only people with proven abilities who have used them in particular town-favored manners are "safe".

Therefore, I would focus any checks, roleblocks, power steals, whatever we have, into like....VA/hopeless/killing but probably not amiko (very specific early claim). The more we learn about this group, the better.

I think medics MAY want to consider claiming towards the end of this cycle or next, or someone else claim the assigned protect targets FOR the medics. We've seen lack of KP before, and we don't know whether that's a tradeoff for the prince of darkness thing (scum can skip D3 but not have factional KP N3? We saw no kills N3), or whether medics got saved. If someone on the fence was a save, it would be good to know so that we can strike someone off the lists of those of us who don't know everything that's gone on. Again, great if non-medics can claim targets for the medics and we can confirm, but at some point we may just want those claims.

IF town is short on items now and scum has picked up a couple from kills, may be worth getting amiko to randomize. Item randomization is bad for town UNLESS scum hold most of the items, then it's more likely to dick over scum plans. If it just swaps items 1-1 between people who currently have items, this is ... not as relevant (too lazy to check back for that he said the thing does). It would also, at the very least, confirm part of amiko's story and can be used in a town-favored manner so long as town is at the item disadvantage.

Minor crap about people on that list:

Killing - I have plenty of reasons in the thread

VA - I normally find VA scummy when we're both town because he's always pushing targets I dislike, or pushing in a manner I dislike. Here he's just...not. Even during super quiet cycles, he's absent. If he's absent here and absent elsewhere, it's off from what I know of town VA. ***I HAVE NOT PLAYED WITH SCUM VA***. I would EXPECT VA to be a little more pushy and have a little more presence, and he feels like a good target for check actions / steal actions / pokity poking.

Hopeless - May have done something confirmable or town circley, I dunno. But he's not on my super happy list, and out of the leftover people (I come down to a questionable people list of Oats, ve, amiko, hopeless, killing, va, geript-ish), he's someone that's just gotten little attention and I dunno what he does and I dunno what he's done post-wise and push-wise and read-wise. If I'm around tomorrow, poke at me to poke at hopeless, and also poke at hopeless yourselves. The whole not reading the thread bits (not seeing snb's post about oat's powers, not seeing DI's claim) isn't great.



Anyway, praise be unto ABBA and may ABBA protect us from the NKs. Reject the radiation; embrace the melodies. If I die and flip and it creates any confusion, hopefully someone else will be able to clear things up. If not, I *am* partially responsible for the shot on LSB, via Koshi, but my PM won't reveal everything.

The post made it sound like something UNDID the resurrection.

Either via scum now having that item, or someone having an item reversal power (possible cough cough towards amiko), or someone having another timeline affecting/power use nullifying ability.

Austin what about ve? He's pretty high on my scum list atm what is your opinion.
Notes I just wrote say:

VE doing nothing but...I don't think scum VE announces that he disobeyed expectations and did not check Oats. Did he claim another check? Look into that. SCUM PROBABLY DON'T GO "LOL I MISSED A CHECK" AND "LOL I DIDN'T CHECK OATS AND DIDN'T KNOW I SHOUD HAVE LOL"

VE has been doing little, but ... unlikely he just lies as scum, unlikely that he claims THIS role as scum (I think, "finds out when people dead + role/alignment cop + takes ability from one person and gives it to another" is ... not a fake claim and not whatever THIS IS DUMB I JUST DON'T LIKE VE FOR MAFIA)



he's possible, but I think less likely than others? Assorted random thoughts - I PMed him and got one reply, didn't really engage beyond that. He said he checked Djo N1 under the assumption that VA would die D2/get pushed, and then he'd know the alignments of everyone in his QT. That's why I asked him a question about why check Palmar over VA, he'd basically indicated that priority #1 for him was to figure out his QT's alignments. He responded decently fast to my quesiton and seemed to either know what I was asking or have a legit reason, which is fine, but scum VE might not have remembered a single PM from D2 about why he checked VA, so that's minor minor town points.

Overall, for VE, it MOSTLY comes down to the fact that he's been mislynched a couple times recently, for being un-VE-like or doing less than people think VE should do. I don't think some kind of power swap + rolecop is a bad scum ability, could very well be scum, could very well be town.

If we don't have a lot of DTs townside, makes it SLIGHTLY more likely he's town, given that I would EXPECT town to have a DT or two in a big themed game like this?

Overall, he got cut on my last pare down or second to last pare down, mainly because of those two first paragraphs. I dunno about scum VE going "YOU TOLD ME TO CHECK OATS AND I DIDN'T" when he could claim he was interfered with, oats came back town but has NASTY POWERS, or something like that. All in all, it's not my strongest townread, but there's just random crap there that make me think he's more likely to be town than a decently large list of other folks.

The post made it sound like something UNDID the resurrection.

Either via scum now having that item, or someone having an item reversal power (possible cough cough towards amiko), or someone having another timeline affecting/power use nullifying ability.

The way bh's power was phrased I'm pretty sure even his past actions should be untargetable, but obviously my interpretation of his power was off.
I don't believe BH was targeted.

To me, I think the item that was used to rez BH, or the power that was used to raise BH, was targeted. Foolishness is NOT entering the game again, it's as if BH was never rezzed and never did anything. That FEELS to me more like a targeting of the item or the power, undoing it or reversing it, than it does something directed at BH himself (it's not BH's revival of Foolishness that was blocked, it's BH existing again that was blocked somehow)

Back, wanted to chat about this.snb, you asked this, and looking back at poofter I dunno. As far as (1), the reason is ye olde "because he looks like ass and they'd rather shoot vocal townies/circle townies". Also, since everyone is powered this game, it's not the normal calculus of shooting a cop or Some Townie, but it's a cop vs Vocal Townie Who Does Something. Not great reasons, but that's what fits.

I had to re-check poofter, knew he was a cop but I thought he had more restrictions than he did.
Each night, you may either Alignment check a player who ended any previous day voting you, or use “Borderline Ethical” methods and alignment check any player, but add 1 point to the chaos and radiation counters.
That points towards VE NOT being alignment and rolecoppy, as plain old alignment DT was balanced by either having limited targets OR adding counters, whereas VE has claimed alignment + role check, with an alternative ability to transfer a role for a day or night or whatever.

Given another lack of info night...I can come around on him. The claiming not to have seen "check oats" is still a point in his favor, imo, but nothing else really is when I look back at poofter's cop role.

The LSB stuff is...meh. He mentions him a bunch, but never really says WHY LSB is scummy. This is IT for why LSB is scummy, everything else is just coloring his name red and asking people about him, except he never says more about LSB and he never tries to get votes on him or anything:

oats obviously isnt town. im worried about if hes telling the truth about being 3p
If he were, he would have said that way way way way earlier yesterday and probably not shot townies without KNOWING that he would meet some win condition in doing so (if his condition was super assassin-y, you have 1 trap, you have to trap x wizard, then I could see him doing what he did, but he would have flipped out more about WoS's role as now he's essentially stranded)

Grrrrr. I want to try and figure out the mayoral lynch vs alignment check, but it depends on how many scum and how many 3Ps we have, neither of which we know.

I don't see that it's crazy clear-cut for mayoral lynch, in some ways getting 100% of someone's role would be nice, it delays a lynch 1 day but it lets us not mislynch if we're wrong on someone. But we probably use it to check a 3P claim? And that's not a great use of a day, even if scum is down to 1 NK after today's lynch.

Also, as far as "Why do scum not do x" questions, like dropping VE,

"why does scum syllo say amiko visited kita N1?" should be on that list. I still cannot figure out why he'd try to finger someone who, if truthful, is 3P, for the kita kill that early in the game. I don't think "was going to go to mars momentarily" is a good answer for that, he'd rather just get a townie killed mebbe. So in the back back back of my head is that syllo was getting a little heat, amiko IS mafia, and syllo wants the cred after the D2 lynch? That seems slightly ridiculous to just hard-bus someone at the very very start of a day though, when you don't know WHO the lynch options are and how townie you'll look in 48 or more hours. It's like a drazerk plan, and not a real people option for D2.

At some point we're bumping up against a bunch of scummy crap that we don't know a source of though.

That brings us to:

Prince of Darkness
Blazinghand unrevived
Oats being unlynchable (still think this will be on oats when he flips)
Protect on oats last night

Along with assorted small counter movements that we can't account for as of yet.

For those saddened by activity or number of 3Ps possibly needed offing due to fake-claimage, ABBA will see us through.

You may be thinking that not even the power of ABBA can overcome the mire this game is currently kind of in. But you are wrong. For 37 years ago, on this very day, Dancing Queen was the #1 song in America. Yessssssssssssssssssss.

Just like the moon, the power of ABBA waxes and wanes. And every 37 years from the time they had a #1 hit, they're...probably powerful.

One thing we haven't poked around is:
There might be a few items in the game. It is up to you to search for them! Items can change hands in the following ways:
1. The holder is killed. The killer will then take the item(s) from the previous holder’s dead body. In the event that two people both killed the holder, The item will be randomly assigned to one of the killers.
and I wasn't thinking about it until just now.

I know that at least one dead townie had an item when he became less-than-alive. It's likely some of the others had items as well. If you got or Amiko has ever gotten or whatever any of the items that were yoinked from townies, then we can track down who killed em.

Are they items that DO stuff? Besides the fire extinguisher, iirc that came up with the ruby and it keeps whoever had that from dying?

Given the conquest picture gumshoe flipped with, it's POSSIBLE the ipecac is relevant to horsemen as part of an isaac subtheme, but since you don't seem interested in it that's unlikely. Unless someone out there is isaac, which is pastable.

At the very least, we know a couple names of items from the dayposts. I know of an extra one.

Scum killed the townies who hold them.

Scum have those items.

So...we could kinda use knowing who has stuff, and Amiko it would be good to know who you've yoinked from during nights, what items you've gotten, and whether we can direct you at a specific target this night phase.

He doesn't stand alone.

If you weren't you, you'd be worried about you.

You call LSB mafia, yes, because he wanted to discuss whether to push the button or not. That's IT. Nothing else. You didn't point out scummy play of his, connect him to anything, track him at night, anything that makes you look particularly town. You quoted a stupid post of his, said he was mafia, and that was it.

You ask people to look at him, and at your posts on him, but you didn't really post anything about him. And you don't ever mention him again. He's not a vote for you. He's not someone you push D2, you weren't so suspicious of him that you check him N1 with your DT powers that you might have. You just leave him be after calling him mafia for something silly.

You go straight from iamp town --> iamp maybe not town (after reading foolishness's post on iamp and rereading iamp) --> calling foolishness kinda questionable (you decided to stop half-defending him and agreed with a post of marv's that was negative of foolishness) --> saying iamp was the best lynch with no reasoning whatsoever behind that statement.

You have a night where you were asked to check oats but didn't, and a night where you could/should have checked oats, but didn't check ANYONE. With oats flipping scum, and oats flipping with a role that essentially prevented 1-2 lynches, but wouldn't have if we'd known his role...that doesn't look particularly good.

You never mention syllo, ever. On D2, you say iamp is the best lynch and you never ONCE mention syllo or amiko. In fact, in your entire filter, syllo comes up 0 times, amiko comes up 0 times, poofter comes up 0 times except for asking whether he's a DT of some stripe. For someone who claims DT, you were utterly uninterested in DT stuff going on D2.


So I dunno how people are supposed to be not worried about you. You don't PUSH LSB, and while you call him scum, your reasons, to me, are MOSTLY nonexistent. You call iamp town, then questionable, but then question the townieness of the guy who accused iamp of being scum and kinda changed your mind, and then call him the best lynch D2 for no particular reason while ignoring everything else going on. How are people supposed to be particularly townie on you?

1. We've outnumbered mafia every night
2. We've killed a lot of mafia already
3. We have "3p" that want to town side that I don't trust with night actions.
4. Disabling the device allows all the towns that have been guarding to use their roles from now on.

There's no reason to keep guarding it instead of trying to disable it.
Why is disabling it a good thing?

Not in terms of (4), but in terms of the thing itself. Why is a disabled hoobajoob better than a non-disabled?

Is this a serious question?
Entirely serious.


1. We've outnumbered mafia every night
2. We've killed a lot of mafia already
3. We have "3p" that want to town side that I don't trust with night actions.

The flavor suggests something bad happens because catastrophe is bolded in red. I don't like bad things. If you make me explain why I think big bold red letters is bad, I'm gonna shoot myself.
And chaos getting to 3 gives town "a difficult choice" usually, including...a mayoral election which seems solid.

And greymist is never a jerkface who messes with everyone.

Mainly though, I think we get information each night the device is around and protected. People who protected it super early smell slightly townier, people who protect it night after night are NOT doing random stuff that MIGHT screw us over. I like forcing protects to slightly lessen any nonsense that can happen, and maybe force scum to occasionally guard in order not to be the only person never guarding.

Sexy sexy. Thanks muchly for not throwing, and grats 2/3 of 3Ps for achieving wincons?

Big thanks to Grey, Acro, Crossfire, LoneMeow, game ran pretty smoothly except for you guys letting people kill my cult members and breaking my gun and whatnot.

I dunno what it is with me being stuck in QTs by myself. Dr Who PTP I ended up spamming it with nonsense, Dr Who 2 I got converted to scum and was final remaining scum just chatting with hosts in scum QT, and now here I FRIGGING TRY TO ADD TOWNIES TO MY CULT AND SPREAD THE WORD OF ABBA AND FOLKS KEEP KILLING MY TOWNIES AND BREAKING MAH DANG GUNS. I just like to stay amused, and was hoping that eventually I'd add someone. Robik got killed the night I added him, but glad that I posted a bunch of crap so geript had most of my thoughts. Man, I love me some QTs and especially solo QTs that I can just gonzaw it up in.

YOU CAN STILL JOIN THE CULT OF ABBA. WE HAVE A 100% WIN RECORD.

I had a red check on me, Oats claimed mafia, VE claimed mafia

I give you credit for Iamp and LSB


List was made far before any of them claimed mafia.

It was a game of clearing people based on claims, roles and activity

So like every game of mafia then.

Most themed games yes, I do that too, but I think hosts should give the subject more serious thought. Hopeless, Palmar, you, koshi, WoS and some others were essentially innocent children due to their roles and someone like JAT could almost never be mafia because his claim was too perfect (there really were insane people).

The game was very light on analysis after day 1.
I think part of this is that things just slowed down like crazy post day-1. Between PMs and general inactivity, the game just turned into lynching into a smaller and smaller list, without it feeling like anyone was proposing anything else.

As far as roles, oats was killed for his role because of how he USED it, and for fakeclaiming something that couldn't have happened. VE wasn't killed for role, sandro wasn't killed for role, we didn't shoot LSB for role, iamp didn't get lynched for role, etc. I think there were less confirmed townies than you think, Palmar did jack all except complain about having to lynch 3Ps for days, there was no reason for people to super think that merchants had to be town, ... I just think there was less town sentiment than you think. Even if JAT seemed like an IC to you because of his role, it's pretty clear that townies didn't share that thought.

I know you were already deceased, but the last couple cycles were SOMEWHAT "every looks kinda scummy, let's just lynch some folks." Apart from SnB, most everyone was suspected by some non-scummers, there was just no oomph in scum to try and shift lynches much. Going into the night I was killed, I wouldn't have been surprised at all with VE, VA, Killing, JAT, or sandro scum.

All the last page or two is wrong.

You didn't jump on board the ABBA train, therefore you had to be lynched with righteous ABBAfire. By not praising ABBA, you claimed anti-ABBA, which is worse than anti-town.

I'm happy to take the middle ground and say I'm not entirely sure that I would have lynched you if I'd been alive and mayor. Would have depended on how the day went or how QT progressed with Geript and our reads. However, other folks do have the right of it when they say that surviving til D6 isn't indicative of much. Your wincon was for SCUM to win, not VE not to get lynched, and I don't think the timing on your lynch or suspicions of you is worth oodles. I can understand the whole hoping for scum win while not KNOWING who all was scum being a bit difficult though, and I don't think the rest of us fully see how that can warp game play --> how can you try to help scumbuddies when you ain't know who they be bein'.

Seriously though.

A VE who doesn't devote himself to the service of ABBA is a hung horse. And not in the penis way. The ropeneck way.

After typing that, I'm surprised that we were ALL mature enough to not put any kind of horse/hung joke in the thread or QT.

GOOD.

A couple years back I had "Take a Chance on Me" stuck in my head off and on for about 2 weeks. I'm surprised my roommates never murdered me in my sleep.

Better than The Wiggles.
I'm happy to take your word on this and never ever do the research myself.



I actually really like the idea of stuff like "revives the first name alphabetically." Creates that interplay where you can kill someone who comes before Blazinghand, really limits the power of the item, or at least might have before BH flipped. For all the town-favored power roles and whatnot, there was a dude who could undo things that had already happened and who was in the game TWICE without his ability ever going off. What was probably town's most versatile role never doing nasty thangs to scum.

I also think LSB's role balances out a lot of concerns in a way. Whatever is the thing scum was MOST afraid of, LSB can essentially be used to counteract that, or to get some kind of scum-favored outcome from a situation they normally fear. "All inventions have the opposite effect", and extra Prince of Darkness power, no flips for a bit, anyone who dies town and comes back to life is now scum, etc. etc. Given the way Grey was going to resolve this power you didn't know if it'd work or not, but I think there are a LOT of wishes that are both pro-scum AND anti-town at the same time, really screw with expectations for how a game works while also doing something else good for scum.
