yeah sorry cephiro, I don't think you're a bad guy I just think you're 100% mafia.

"I don't trust you enough to have you possibly misleading town around with the inconsistencies you've already shown in your own play which I pointed out."

this is one of the slimiest fucking sentences I've ever read.

Because I don't want to antagonize you as a person I'm ignoring you from now on. I suggest you stick with the plan.


If you ignore me, that just proves my point. If you want to prove everyone else and me that you're town, then start showing it.
As I pointed out, explain the inconsistency in your reaction towards me/Vivax/TicTock?

How come I'm clearly mafia to you, while being the most see-through out of the three about my actions, when you have TicTock listed as idk when he was clearly trying to misguide others of what he was picking?

What's with the KP trust on geript out of nowhere?
Especially when you say you want him on an investigative role yourself.

Like there's so much stuff you're not explaining at all which doesn't make any sense for someone trying to assume a position like you're doing right now. If you want to be a town leader, you're gonna have to be a lot more transparent about that if you want to have a shot at it.

cep even if palmars mafia he has to appear townie and be somewhat protown. It also puts him under the microscope so you can figure out his alignment. again whats your issue?


The fact that he's not being transparent about what he's doing, there are inconsistencies in his play that he refuses to address. These two factors combined with sets a huge shadow on his play of trying to lead the town for a cooperative effort, I'm not going to follow anyone as shady as he is currently being and no-one else should either.

If he fixes and addresses the aforementioned points, explaining more in-depth some of his reasons, I wouldn't mind. But that's clearly not what he's doing, he's avoiding the issue by calling me scum.

Also I think the role you want to pick is fucking scummy


Explain me why the role I said I'd prefer to go for is scummy?

Cyrus forces a lynch between me or someone else. If I'm scum, you should be happy about me having that, as it gives you a 50% or a 100% chance of lynching scum.

If I'm town, then the worst case scenario is that I force a town/town lynch with it.

Shovel Knight I can understand your PoV, as it's a KP that hides a flip until the owner is killed. I figured that if I don't get the other roles that are more town-favoured which I'm aiming for, I can at least get a KP to kill mafia with when thickheads won't listen.

Mirror Man is pretty awesome? It can be used as a medic on a townie being shot, or as KP on mafia with some shenanigans or if mafia is protecting themselves. A lot of other possible uses as well, redirects while being chaotic, especially with the invertion can lead into some pretty nice plays. Harder for mafia to use in my opinion, due to requiring a pick target and reflecting everything on yourself. (Worst case scenarios you get yourself killed, not something mafia wants)

Windrunner is something that I see extremely town-favoured?

I can mason two seemingly town players and act as their bodyguard. Or if we find out I made a bad choice and one of them might be mafia, we can get them killed without me taking damage by correct usage of windrun.

So... what's the issue with my suggestion? If I'd have 4 blocks instead of 3 (I assume it's rounded down to 3/7 instead of 4/7 roles blocked), then I'd be fine with taking shovel knight out of there.

Ah, I see. So because you were inconsistent once again, you're taking the easy out of "I think you're scummy for no reasons specified, but because I think you're scummy I can say whatever the fuck I want about you."

Just what I'd expect from an anti-town Palmar.

Since you're clearly not going to be co-operative, I won't be either. So watch me pick whatever I want. And watch me laugh when you're going to talk some bs about being accountable while you're doing all kinds of shit whilst doing your best to mislead town.

I'd argue that City Councilman is probably not a very good role for mafia either. (Forced bodyguard position.)

I also think someone town should snipe Captain Malcolm Reynolds, will be pretty fucking hard to kill whichever mafia team drafts that one?

No, you're going to tell us which one you take.

Like I want everyone to understand how terrible it'd be for town if he doesn't tell us because that means townies will be guessing and risking not getting the thing.

Keirathi is 100% mafia.


For once I'll agree with you, if he won't clearly state which role he firstpicks (and stick to it), it's a pretty clear indicator.

Keir, you wanted 1,1 which means every single pick in the game is partially dependant on yours. By withholding information you're way more likely to screw town over than gain any benefit over scum.

Badly formatted notepad post:

Disformation: Another filter I haven't reviewed. I remember thinking something might possibly be off about him. I want him to pick the Doctor
^ Wants to give a doc to someone he feels might be off.

Ticktock: I haven't reviewed his filter. I would like for him to pick an investigative role, preferably Moriarty

^ Pointed out towards his (Palmar's) inconsistent reaction regarding this guy earlier, and he said he hasn't even reviewed him. Wants to give a vet status to a player he has no idea about?

Onegu: Perpetually unreadable player who mafia will never shoot if he's town, but I have a solution to that.
Onegu will be picking City Councilman and we will be holding elections on day 1. Obviously I will be chosen mayor and voila, Onegu is now useful!

^ Wants to ensure that Onegu gets killed in the case he is town without having to waste KP. Why the hell is he not suggesting this role for one of his scumreads?


Sicklucker: Our secret weapon. COMPLETE AND UTTER FFA. Sicklucker is allowed to pick any role, including very mafia favored roles if he feels like it to check if they're in the game and to check if people above him followed the plan. He is also allowed to grab a KP role if he feels like it. A good suggestion for a role for him is the knight artorias thing which is a very strong mafia role.
Our secret weapon, who picks 3rd last place. That's going to do super much. Have you really thought this through Palmar?

I also love his introductory chapter, it's completely written from the perspective of "anyone trying to go against me is obviously scum", when that is certainly not true.
The most unbelievable part is this sentence: "Mafia will disrupt my plans, not because they think that's good for their team, although of course it is, but mostly because they think "that's what a good townie would do"."

No mafia or even townie believes that bull. There's no way in hell a single person in this game honestly believes that intentionally disrupting is pro-town, with the only exception being if you believe the one trying to assume the town leader position to be scum.

I do mostly agree the part with post counts, except that you shouldn't expect the whole team to play similarly. With 4 mafia players for each of the teams, they're more than likely to fill out different playstyles/roles.

As for what he's suggesting me to pick, I'll decide in the upcoming hours. I know he isn't getting me lynched anyway so I'm not concerned about that at all.
Also surprised he's not suggesting anyone to counterpick Hero or PSY?

I have to admit I like the idea of going dreamflower and just shooting mafia in succession. (Or failing and committing seppuku.)

I'm not gonna respond to ceph because he is mafia. There is no way he simply tries to tear everything I do down without either:

a) Actually calling me mafia

or

b) providing an alternative that's useful himself.

And if you're so sure everything I'm doing is dumb and you're awesome ceph, just pick the goddamn role I assigned to you and go be awesome!


I'm going to respond to you anyway so everyone can enjoy your blissful ignorance of posts you can't reply to.

I'm pointing out inconsistencies that would be good to fix if you truly want to try and make a pro-town plan, and your reaction is to ignore it?

A lot of the points I raised are extremely valid, yet you are ignoring them because you're tunneling me as scum, if it's because you've suddenly become terrible at mafia or simply because it's the easiest way for you to try and deal with me if you're scum, that I'm not sure of. Leaning more and more towards you being mafia simply since you refuse to address the points I raise when fixing them up is clearly the pro-town thing to do and is what you should be doing.

If you want to be a town leader, then suck it up and take the criticism. Just because you're trying to assume a leader position doesn't mean you get to decide everything you want. If you're pro-town, you should be concerned and fixing the issues pointed out at you.

I'm not raising these points because I want to be a dick or claim that your play sucks, but because those are the things that need to be addressed. If you want brownie points for every thing that was done properly as one going for the position you currently are, you'll have to find them somewhere else.

So again, repeating these:

1) Why are you wanting to give someone you suspect a veteran status?

2) Explain why you're not locking one of your scumreads into the City Councilman, and instead assigning it to a player who you don't have pegged as either way, and you talk coming from the perspective "at least this way if he's town he'll get killed"?

3) Doctor role to someone you're not sure of?

4) No counterpicks for roles like Hero or PSY?

Address the above please. It's not that hard.

There is no such thing as vanilla in this game, how come there are people who don't get it by now?
If you pick the same thing someone else already picked, you get one of the Mysterious Challenger roles, which effectively forces you into a "special" role.

Also Palmar, if I just straight up call you scum nonstop, what do you think will happen?

I'll tell you what. You will refuse to address me even more than you already do, with the excuse of "Lol ceph thinks I'm scum so he is confirmed mafia".

So suck it up and start proving you're town. I won't mind drafting KP to kill you otherwise.

Alright, I admit I like your stance/approach to killing mafia players via lynching. I suppose vet/doc roles on mafia isn't going to help them much (except from crossfire from other mafia) if the town hasn't drafted much KP either. And I suppose if I go for dreamflower it sort of works in favour of that as well, given that if my shot doesn't go off and I live, we can be certain that a protective role is in mafia hands.

I guess I could really go for dreamflower, the only downside I can see is if I play badly it's less scum dead, +1 townie dead and I won't be around to help town lategame. Would prefer a less gambly-role but I guess I might have to just nail scum on D1 then. Still thinking about whether to go for it or not.

If I don't, what other role would you prefer for me to take?

None, but I promise I'll do my best to help you shoot mafia.

I think, by now, you taking dreamflower is the only way we can be friends again. And I'd actually like to be friends. It will make it pleasant to work with you because I know your own life is on the hook.


If I take dreamflower, if you want to have any control over my shot, I want to add a fail-safe for you as well.

Basically, if you point me towards a townie you agree to get shot/lynched in return.

(I believe if we two co-operate and you're truly town as well, we should easily be hitting mafia so this should not be an issue for you.)

So will you prefer for me to take the shots deciding them by myself completely, or be willing to shoot a target of your choice with your life on the line as well?

Dreamflower scummiest pick EU/NA/KR combined. o/

Yes, I got it. Which means I don't have to listen to anyone that I feel is trying to be detrimental to my decisionmaking.

I will stick with the Palmar-liability thing, if he shotcalls targets for me and is ready to be lynched / shot if he's wrong, I'm perfectly fine with that.
