[quote]

How is he getting more power?

He is just immune to night kill, if he was getting a double vote for the rest of the game that is a different story.

Having our jailkeeper with night kill immunity is really fucking powerful, at worst it soaks a rb for the rest of the game, at best it is just literally broken.

It puts mafia in all sorts of uncomfortable positions where they are fucked if the RB gets lynched or shot.

The vig shot or whatever can be negotiated, but I don't think vivax is bad as town regardless, and he is basically confirmed town.

Why would I roll the dice on anyone who is NOT confirmed town.

Rayn, marv and sandro are NOT confirmed town.

Lets be real here for a second. Vivax is also not confirmed town.


Wrong.

CC me or go away

Nobody will CC you on day1 if you have fakeclaimed (if we even have a Jailkeeper in that case). Not unless it looks like you are actually being elected and even then I am unsure if that would be the correct play.


You realize how much information I give away for free if I do this as mafia right?
It's like seppuku.

No, I do not realize. What are you giving away? Worst case you get the actual blue to cc you.


First of all, I'd betray all of my teammates just out of the blue.
The actual JK would be able to coordinate his actions better by knowing I was confirmed scum.

What you're suggesting is that I'd blindly gamethrow as mafia on D1.

I wouldnt call that game throwing and weirder plays have been made. Doing it as town is arguably worse in my opinion.


You'd still just sack a town JK on the first night so that says it all about the worth of your opinion.
Not just yours though.

Yeah, I will not sacrifice a strong town mayor for a JK that claimed needlessly.


Who's town?
The guy you are so sure you can read like a pro or a 100% authentic claim?

Maybe I won‘t find mafia with this, but players with a basic understanding of what must be done in certain situations.

So Rels, Dp, Dmb, Koshi are the smartest in the game for sure.

That should further be of help.

Besides, it's a first time I think.
You can go back to the game and see what happens if town succeeds in cooperating to elect such a role as mayor.
Instead many opt to suppress the innovative thinking in favour of conformism.

As for the second kill, the runner-up to the main wagon would be alright.
Otherwise a zero-poster.
No shenanigans.

That's where I am now.


I could see Trfel, the shield by cop bugs me too, though she could just be associating herself on purpose.
Especially the claim is something he would love to discuss as town as he's very analytical.

Looking forward to see his updates.

I could sheep you on that but it's possible he's still catching up.

We can do Oats + Palmar for D1.
What's your take on Oats?

I thought tonally he has sounded town to me, lots of posts naturally coming one after another.

I’m willing to listen if you think otherwise though - sorry if I missed reasoning beforehand.


I think I saw too much overdrive from him early, like the question to Grack that seemed like filler. And now he's fallen off a cliff.
His reaction to the claim was minimalistic.

Mafia has 5 members. I want this to be obvious before I go to bed tomorrow.


Ditto.

Also what makes Koshi further supertown.

Committment is needed.

[quote]Seems like an easy way to avoid the responsibility of the results of said lynch, no?

And I don't understand why saying pregame that you would vote for Palmar and then changing your mind is a reason we should make you mayor?

I was making a joke about Vivax saying he was going to autovote Palmar pregame and then immediately changed his mind.

Imo the Mayor KP is town KP, not a oneshot Day vig. It's not about avoiding responsibility it's about giving the town a chance to pull a 2for1 on D1.

Actually I'll cement that point, if I'm not going to win the mayor vote at the end of the day, I'm not going to vote for someone who hasn't also pledged to have the town decide the lynch.
I don't think the second wagon is a "town lynch" at all. In fact there's a decent likelihood that the second wagon would be pushed by mafia, no?

That's assuming the first lynch is scum which D1 imo is a crap shoot, it's just as likely to be town pushed by mafia and the runner up is the scum, hence the double tap. TL towns are like barely 50% for D1 scum lynches iirc.
You're still ignoring the possibility that both are town. My point is, just because "town" votes for something doesn't make it the best play. I'm not saying you have to go for a hero play or something, but just that automatically lynching the top two instead of the top one isn't necessarily a good idea.

If both are town then we'll have played a colossally trash D1 and I wouldn't be trusting my own read anymore than I trust any other individual on D1. There's something to be said for wisdom of the crowds.
There's almost nothing to be said for wisdom of the crowds, that's the point. It's 16 vs 5, the whole point is that wisdom of the crowds is really ineffective, that's how the game works.

The problem with this entire conversation is that Tfrel looks smart and MZ bad.
But it is the only thing Tfrel does in this entire timespan.
Look smart.
But he isn't doing anything that helps town find mafia.

I don't like it at all.


I think this is the second? comment about it, first being my rayn if I remember correctly.

Why the "Trfl looks smart" a bad thing?

Last game here, he was on fire and caught all the mafia team.

If you feel like that, pressure him to give you a list of players.



Because he looks smart on a set-up topic. As mafia it is harder to look good doing actual scumhunting, seeing somebody play sub optimal in a set-up way and make a conversation about that is way easier. You know you have the upper ground.
During that conversation he doesn't make any other posts interrogating people or does he try to solve the game. He is content to just talk setup with somebody.

Yes. Questioning lack of suspicion on themselves is actually not uncomon.

You still have your vote parked on VE.

I apologize too.

I'm surprised rayn didn't react more emotionally when I was rude to him though. Unless he is mafia of course.

Iamp probably doesn't give a damn.

JAT is just same old.

Rels is playing so good. Isn't he normally a guy who gathers a lot of votes on him as town and then comes back near EoD and tries to defend himself and fail?

I know he can play good. But mostly if he is left alone till later.

He upsets me but I don't know why.


Reminds me a bit of a French secret agent I once played chess with.

Trfel, Oats, CC, Palmar, rayn

would be my main sussy pool and Palmar is just me throwing trust at marv for now.

The auxiliary pool consists of JS, MZ, marv atm. I liked JS posts though, but pockety.

I value your input as I was really impressed by your reads on MS and frankly this looks like too little.

What do you think about sandro, marv, DP?
I really struggle to spot any type of focus here buddy.

Trfel had a hard townread on Oats and it needs updating.

I‘m not even tunneled I think.
I think rayn can be mafia but I‘d still not lynch him.
Cop felt like she was in way over her head at times.

Seeing Slam like this saddens me btw. Maybe he had a similar thought to mine.

Palmar a bit stiff overall. But I like his humour.

MZ with a very perfectionist display. Maybe a bit too much error-free for my liking. He avoids classical shitfights.
