I think you mentioned in the current mafia game that you only wanted hardcore players in this game, but if you need more players I'd love to get in on this

I have a feeling that inventor will be the first role to go

Mostly because it's just something that I'm sure everyone would like to try at least once, even if we can only use it rarely throughout the game.

Same, tbh I think it'd be fine with only 15 people, but I'd like to finish some projects first seeing as how I'm only barely avoiding getting mod killed in XXII

Sorry guys for not claiming, was gone yesterday and the day before, I'm just glad I didn't get modkilled. I'll try to make up for it by being a more active townie than last game. Now time to read the rest of the thread.

Alright after reading, I don't really have any new thoughts, but I'd still like to show my agreement for a few points. First off, I agree that all roles should remain private. With mafia only having 1kp per night, it's seems that we wouldn't screw ourselves over too badly with everyone claiming, and it would be easier for doctors to make their protects, but since I doubt they'd all be able to protect every vital role or guess correctly every night, I agree Zona's point on giving our important roles an extra layer of protection by not having us know who they are.

Also, maybe I'm not thinking straight right now, but I'm almost leaning towards setting up a townie to be lynched on the second day so we can tell all cops in this thread to investigate them. That way all the the cops will know fairly quickly what sanity they have.

Oh, sorry, I'm not sure if this was already mentioned earlier in this thread (or even the OP, but I didn't see it there), but what's the limit to how many alignment cops can be in this game? Because if it's only one then that plan probably wouldn't be worth it, and I'm only proposing that idea under the (perhaps naive) belief that mafia only have a nightly kp of 1 will give us some leeway so we don't feel pressured to hit scum everyday.

Sure, hell if enough people actually think my cop plan is any good, I'll even offer myself up for sacrifice.

also note, so far in this thread, the following people have claimed they don't have a role:
korynne - important role (not inv or rb) above him
jonny - silly
caller - silly
falcynn - silly
qatol - copy above him
opz - comp vig above him

i'm wondering why y'all revealed this info, but i imagine some of you are lying as docs or something which also sets up nice mindgames. if you're all telling the truth though then /facepalm

While I was skimming through the thread I noticed this post

The non-claimants are:
L's replacement
Falcynn

Amnesia
Scamp

and assumed somehow that Ace might've posted something revealing who hadn't claimed a role yet, so I was explaining why I didn't claim. Afterward I realized that Ace didn't mention anything about who claimed/who didn't, but I can't edit my post obviously so I just left it.

Anyways, is my alignment cop idea really that bad and that's why no one's mentioned it? Or did everyone just miss it?

Also, we only have one cop who would need to figure out his sanity - the role cop and JOAT are auto-sane.

So lynching someone to figure that out is bad imo.

Ah I see, guess I just suck at reading comprehension =/

2b Falcynn wishy washily claimed VANILLA without actually doing it

Alright, I guess I should clearly state, I'm a vanilla townie. I decided not to make mention of it since . Was preparing for/doing this on Friday/Saturday http://www.filmracing.com/Cities/sanfrancisco.htm and missed the role claims because of it. I'll make a blog of it Thursday night/Friday since we're not allowed to upload our video until after the screening (yeah, this is really more to just get attention for my future blog post then to actually explain myself

)

Anyways, as for lynching sidesprang, you're logic seems pretty sound, I guess at this point with all the information that's been gathered, it'd be nice to make sure whether or not everyone at the top of the list has been telling the truth about their roles. If we can get a day vig hit then that might help, although I'm not sure if we'd be able to figure out another lynch target and pile the votes on them in time. It'd suck to essentially waste a day vig hit by not getting the lynch to add to it =/

Wow, no edits so in that first post where I said "I decided not to make mention of it since" I meant to add "since Qatol essentially told me that me claiming was a stupid move". However if we're narrowing the list down by figuring out who's telling the truth about their roles and who's not, then I figured it'd be beneficial to just straight out explain myself rather than have everyone guessing over what I really meant when I said I forgot to ask for a role.

I have a bad feeling about this guy....

So do I to an extent, but that's not really enough reason to lynch him, especially now. His plan actually makes sense, if we lynch sidesprang, we'll have some info on whether or not the people above him are telling the truth with their claims (and I'm sure that you guys are experienced enough to know the whole "lynch all liars" strategy). Lynching Radfield now doesn't do anything, it's not like we'll lower the mafia KP by getting him, and he's so far down the list that it's unlikely that he has a really powerful role. We have plenty of time to get people based on suspicions like this, but right now let's just work on getting information based on roles since that's the best lead we've been given.

Holy shit, yay! ^_^

Pretty awesome second lynch. Gotta read back over the posts again, but does this mean that we can assume (for the moment anyways) that the people above him are probably telling the truth with their roles?

My draft numbers? [1][7]

I didn't read the thread before I put in my numbers, and I was preparing for the filmrace so I never bothered checking if the town was organizing someway of having people pick numbers. Sorry if my numbers turned out to be anti-town.

I have to disagree with you Citizen, sidesprang was lynched because several things pointed to him being the mafia copycat. The only other real option was him being a very bad townie.

But moving on. JeeJee has information right now that pretty much no one else does.

i didn't go for copycat so presumably we have some liars up in here
either that or hobbes is mafia
for the role that he is (or should be), he sure isn't doing shit with it.
then again neither is sidesprang so i'm at a loss here

Now that sidesprang is gone, JeeJee is claiming that he tried for a role and failed to get it. Which means that someone above him has his role. He also is claiming that whoever that person is, is failing to use it in a pro-town manner. I've looked through the roles, and I really can't figure out which role he could be talking about though. DayVig is the only one that seems likely.

As far as who might have the role? In my mind the options are Opz, Falcynn or Hobbes. Bm and Foolishness have inventor and CV, if Korynne was lying about her pick then Foolishness would have outted her, Qatol is almost certainly telling the truth about trying for CopyCat, and everyone else is dead. Another possibility is that Foolishness and Korynne are both mafia, but I think this unlikely.

So JeeJee, if you truly think that whoever took your role is anti-town, then you should role claim, because you will likely lead us to a mafia. However, I leave the final judgement up to you, no point in outing a pro-town player's role.

you are correct, i probably know hobbes' role now, of course that's still pending whether others have lied but the way the events have unfolded so far, the claims seem legit. i think i probably understand hobbes' strategy now and it kind of makes sense.. we shall see.
atm i am leaning towards hobbes being townie so that's where we stand on that issue.

what's the plan with inventions this night? i'm still leaning towards alignment kits. maybe you can get creative and get a gun with special bullets .. if you hit a mafia, they die, if you hit a townie, nothing happens. its like an alignment kit with bullets, whooo

=)

I love the invention suggestion. How can this harm the town? Swift justice + lasting info. Call it... the silver bullet gun. DT kit v. 2.0.

Easy. Do you trust Bill not to make a regular gun but have the same name? How about he makes another one after that? And then the mafia all fire their guns the same night.

This is your strangest comment yet Qatol. If you do not trust Bill this entire discussion is worthless. It makes no difference if you ask him to make invention X or Y - if he works for the mafia he will make what he wants or change the properties of the invention how he wants. I don't get it.

Actually, it makes perfect sense. The thing is, if Bill is working for the mafia, he will want to give out as many inventions as he possibly can before we catch him. To do that, he has to give out inventions which seem to be helping the town when they will actually help the mafia in the long run. If we are asking him to give out guns, what is to stop him from giving out his "guns" to mafia members and either claim that they went to people who just died or just say they went to the mafia members? Then the mafia can just go on a shooting spree in a few nights and close out the game.

this doesn't make sense
if he claims the gun went to a mafia and thats why it hasn't been used, then he should call out said mafia and we lynch him, lol

Okay so what if he claims it went to someone who died but actually gives it to a mafia member? Nobody can dispute that.

Well now that your brought that up, we'll know that excuse is probably bullshit, especially if he uses it more than once.

Anyways, I'm gonna have to agree with the suggestion posted a page/few pages back that the inventor at this point should focus more on inventions that'll protect the town/help the town gather information rather than inventions that will give us more KP. Once we have some really solid leads then getting extra lynches will be very beneficial, but considering that the inventions last only one night (I did read that correctly right?) and we don't have enough leads to justify having guns+CV+regular lynch in a single day, I think getting information should be our priority rather than getting extra kills.

With enough information we can go after the mafia+SK relatively easily, but getting more kills will probably damage us since it forces us to follow fairly weak leads in order to have targets to be killed.

Falcynn doesn't have many posts, and most of his statements are just questions about the game or agreement with plans others have posted. His excuse is that he's working on a film-making contest and thus is busy. The only interesting thing of note is his offer to sacrifice himself so that the alignment cop could use him to determine sanity, but nothing has come of that.

I'm actually done with the contest, that was on Friday/Saturday, I was only using that reason for why I missed the role claims. My activity here is mostly due to the fact that I usually don't have much to contribute other than agreeing with others =/ In flamewheel's game (mafia XXII) I was criticized for not saying much and was told that even if all I do is agree with others, then at least say so as that appears less scummy and helps the town by knowing where the townies stand.

So even though I usually don't have anything new to add to any discussions, I figured I should at least take the advice from last game and get involved with the discussions, even if all I do is agree with people.

Anyways, I'm going to go ahead and just say (even if it makes me seem scummy) that I agree with lynching BM or calling for him to be CV'd if he makes some other obscure item that goes against what all the other townies have said. The gun that only kills mafia sounds like a great idea, but really, as long as BM invents something that shows he's at least listening to us rather than just taking things in his own hands would do a great deal to make him less suspicious.

Right now, it seems BM is doing a good job (probably not intentionally, but that's beside the point) in dividing the town and distracting us.

I already checked the time stamps. The people who could have plausibly lied are JeeJee and Falcynn. Scamp technically could have, but he would need serious guts to have done so.
That's why I think we are basically stuck with a coin flip between the two unless someone has a strong case to go for one over the other.

We can just day vig/CV one of us and lynch the other. Although I'm actually not really sold on JeeJee, I'll try to get back in time to do my own analysis on him. Considering Qatol has struck me as suspicious a few times, I'm not just ready to take his word for it, but if other people share the same sentiment that it's very likely either JeeJee or I are lying then I wouldn't be too opposed to essentially a double lynch.
