hi

People are so good at this game, they have already deduced drazerk as scum so early. Wish I was that good. This is pretty neat though.

Dont think scum would be so publicly proud of something people see as scummy. It's needless. I say town.

If a townie is ever split 50/50 on something and there is not much context to go on, he can rely on the "mafia dont shoot each other" technique. Lynch is town KP, so utilizing it on someone that is already going to die is very bad use of it. Lynching anyone else or waiting to assess the inactive/tempbanned player is always the right choice. It's not even about information.

Anyone who votes grush at this point in time without a reasonable case on his previous posts is anti-town (VE). If he posts bad everygame, then at least its a control.

yeah Mattchew, I don't have as much time as I normally do. I'm going to try not to rage if something retarded happens (like in BC's game) but I'm also hosting AoK mafia which is taking quite a lot more time than expected.

I don't like imallinson and I would be fine with lynching him today. If you all would kindly take a glance at his posts, in most of them he fails to take a strong opinion and defers his own stances to the opinions of others. For example:

cause you haven't sunk your teeth into a real candidate with reason yet, you haven't picked a fight, you also havent explained why you havent done the previously mentioned things. you usually do atleast 1 of these things as town


Yeah, this sounds like you as town too. The reason I haven't "sunk my teeth into a candidate" yet is because there are no real candidates for me to choose from. Draz is like the only one and I don't like the fact that a bandwagon built on the BS case SnB put forth. It's a shitty case and I don't like the smell of the bandwagon that formed from it...so I'm not supporting it presently.

My grush wagon could use some help though, if you're interested. It's guaranteed to rid the game of an anti-town poster and gosh, it might even net us a scum. What do ya say?


It feels kind of wrong lynching someone who can't defend himself. I've never played a game with him before, is he normally this spammy and terrible in his posting?


The only real thing he's contributed is that he thinks people aren't thinking "outside of the box" enough with respect to roles (about the multiple power thing). However, that has nothing to do with finding scum and he himself admits its pretty much not of any help:

I've been out all day so I apologise for not posting earlier.

One thing I noticed, between the spam, is a hell of a lot of role discussion, talk about kp, etc. I think everyone has missed a very important point in all this. These are pokemon we are dealing with and last I checked most of them have more than one power. Because this is PTP it wouldn't surprise me if most people did have more than one power. Add to that the fact that all the role talk has been about standard mafia roles it seems like no one is really thinking outside the box on the roles. The real question is do they think it's the case a not talking about it for strategic reasons. I'm not a fan of misdirection in mafia from a town perspective because it normally only serves to make scum hunting harder.


Most roles can be equated to standard mafia roles.

You can deal KP? Your a vig role.
You can protect? medic role.
You can edit your posts? Okay, this one doesn't exist.

Short of everyone claiming what role they created (Which might be useful, but a great way for scum to fuck with us), we have to use terms that everyone else will understand. Once we get through a round of Night actions, (assuming decon\greymist use the ability names) we'd be able to refer to specifics.


I didn't really mean calling roles different names just because of PTP. I'm perfectly fine calling KP role vig, protect role medic and so on. I'm talking about roles that would never be in a normal game of mafia and thus don't have a standard name. I'm pretty the role I created doesn't fit into any normal mafia role and I'm sure there a lot of other cases like that.

As for role calling I think it's a terrible idea, especially in PTP because you can make up a fake role for yourself just as easily as the role you created for someone else.

I do agree with you that things should become clearer after night 1 because we will at least get some info on the roles that are in play.


But how do your thoughts on roles and PTP mechanics help us catch scum?


It doesn't really, I'm just pointing out a big missing piece in all the role talk so far. Honestly I don't think role talk day 1 will be helpful in this set up.

So the following -

No pokemon names
No Type
No role information
No claiming medic to save scum

Anyone who does this will probably just be shot down or turned green

Herp derp?

I don't know if anyone else noticed this (I have to reread some of what I missed) but I saw this and figured it has to be pointed out.

Unfortunately it's Drazerk, so to be completely honest my read of Drazerk doesn't change here.


I'm an exception to my own rule because at some point I need to be taken down for the good of the town


But is that point now?


So if it's not going to be helpful why is he spending his time pointing that out instead of trying to find scum?

In addition, note his vague language, his meek attitude, and his overall "hide and say a few noncontroversial things and hope no one notices me" style. All of these things are great ways for scum to blend in.

I would shoot my own team mates as scum so that isn't exactly true especially in a game which is likely to have trackers / watchers like this one since it throws town off so much that the end results are hilarious

(Not to mention the team mate rage )


Of course, a silly oversight on my part.

Sure ask him but not me. Sounds like you and grush have played together. You are voting with emotion, or feigning it. That's typically townie if it's genuine. Obviously if you are faking it just to throw your vote around uselessly, then you are scum.

Enlighten me on what it was, and take your vote off grush.

Interesting, you ask me which one it was as if my answer on the matter means anything. Assuming I was scum, could I not just say "FUCK YEA IT WAS EMOTION GRRRZZZZZZ ANGER!!!"? Similarly, I could even say that I'm "feigning it" in an attempt to illuminate middling opinions such as yours as they arise.

But the fact of the matter is that it doesn't matter what I say is my reasoning, only what I can make you believe is my reasoning. So in response to your question, I have one of my own.

What did you hope to accomplish by asking me that question Bum?


It was rhetorical.

Meh, allinson seemed pretty obvious not to go for him. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a decent portion of the scum team not voting him. Dirk's alignment would be pretty enlightening.

Cool well I've taken damage. It wasn't very effecitve.


If I could shed some light on this? I'm not meowth (nor did I make the role), but since it was a normal type move, VE has to be a Rock type if he's telling the truth, which I think he is. There are about 10 rock types, so unless VE is multi-typed, I think it's fairly obvious for mafia to figure out that he is probably a Vet. If he was a ghost type, I'd imagine the ability would have never worked.

In the future, if you are told a hit on you is super-effective or not, you should think about saying it publicly. If a mafia member picked a rock-type's role, he probably knows what VE does. That's my stab at it.

Speaking of STAB,

VE stated that he did not mean "not very effective" in the pokemon sense of the phrase. Only that it didn't kill him. Also, anyone can be a Veteran. There's no real limit to what abilities were given.


I think most people would tend to give abilities based on typing and flavor. That was kinda the point to the "same-type-attack-bonus" (STAB) mechanic, so that the roles would be more evenly distributed.

I missed when VE said that wasn't what he meant. Guess that means the ability itself wasn't enough to kill him?
