The surroundings may change, but war never changes.

oh so Simotech is scum?
Do we know if it's a 3rd party or the groupscum of the game.

This sounds like a good idea but could you please proofread your posts

So you think we should lynch, say, a miller, who you don't think is mafia, so that we get serum?
Yes I do. The weak are fuel for the stronger ones here.

I personally disapprove of this course of action, we should always lynch scum over town.

Please tell me you don't see the value of the Mod making Negative utility roles as free food for the stronger roles to get more shit. Gimme an easy early scumread.

Actually, why shouldn't I view your proposition as scum-motivated? On top of not lynching scum you give scum an easy reason to vote these people.

Anyone against claiming companies?

I don't see the benefit.

They're probably scum, considering the flavor of this game. Though they were the town of the previous game...
We don't know anything else at the moment. The Rebels are probably town, and they're revealed in the Sample Role PM to use the color green, but it says Sample Role PM and not Sample

Town

Role PM. While their Win condition is seemingly standard for town it's possible it will change as new information is revealed.

However, I remember what happened in the previous game and statements that were made by the mod at it's end.
I have a theory that in this game there is no town or scum at the start of the game. Whoever wins the game will be town. Whoever loses will be scum. We might be evenly balanced between three or more alignments at the start. (Possibly two, but as I mentioned some of the flavor implies three.)

Rautherdir · Post Post #107 (ISO) » Fri Jul 19, 2019 5:00 am

That theory probably isn't correct or accurate though. I do think there's another alignment for Aeon Technologies though. In which case claiming companies is a bad idea since it could reveal alignment.

I like all this fan theory.

Simotech were the "town" of the first game, but it was very much a "are we the bad guys?" moment at the end. (spoiler, yes, kinda). Previous game was very "victor writes history", I expect this game to follow suit.

Speaking of last game, who's gonna be the Mathblade that causes me to go into a 30 page death spiral of madness culminating in a giant all caps rant this time?

Re alignment spec: Yeah it's not insane, Aeon and Iustitia are given more prominence and Mod said at the end of the last game Iustitia are going to be town in this one. Don't have any particular reason to believe chaos town multiball but the companies do lead your mind in that direction.

KidAmn · Post Post #111 (ISO) » Fri Jul 19, 2019 5:19 am

I'd expect 0-1 Simotech infiltrators in each corporation. Not every corp will have one, but the flavour (in as much as it can be used as an indicator here, which is to say, near nothing, so feel free to ignore this) suggests Simotech have inveigled their way into almost everything.

Primate · Post Post #112 (ISO) » Fri Jul 19, 2019 5:22 am

I think if it were that simple then it'd become problematic as a way of clearing too many people once a scum is lynched tbh.

Hm, true.

Ah, right. Forgot about that. Odd though, since Iustitia isn't an alignment in this one? Though the Sample Role PM was for Iustitia, that might end up confirming that the Rebels are basically town.

I'd say Iustitia and Aeon Tech are the least likely to have infiltrators. I agree with Primate though, it probably won't be that simple. (And I do think the companies are more to signify what sort of role you have, as well as your participation in events maybe?)

@Rautherdir: Are you aligned with the Rebels?

Has this ever worked? Semi-serious question.

Ha, I've seen it work in face to face, but that's not what I'm doing. I just thought he was talking about the alignments (rebels specifically) in a more detached way than I would expect.

KidAmn · Post Post #118 (ISO) » Fri Jul 19, 2019 5:40 am

Discussing hypotheticals re: flavour will do that to a person's tone. I grok what you're saying, I don't think it's IA.

Rautherdir · Post Post #119 (ISO) » Fri Jul 19, 2019 5:41 am

I'll go with an alternate statement instead of answering that question, I am either aligned with The Rebels or with Simotech, I have no definite knowledge of other alignments right now.

So I guess that was alignment indicative to you then? I'm pretty sure Primate was just asking if I'm a third party, I answered that question directly.

The manner in which you chose to answer it does not engender confidence.
