Micro 930: Neon Mafia (Neighborhood PT)

[nomnomnom]

I'm tempted to say it's townie of Looker to do what he does because he's just that cocky and has a weird obsession with me
but it's still definitely annoyed

[Captain the Furret]

Btw if anyone asks why I voted you, I am probably just going to say that we have a hood together

[nomnomnom]

is it wise to claim this early

[nomnomnom]

I was thinking of bringing the hood as a reason to townread you with mena but I'm not sure it's the right move to claim this early

[Captain the Furret]

I don't exactly know how claiming a hood early can be punished.

[Captain the Furret]

im confused
are you CCing him?

[Captain the Furret]

Like, I feel like Macho Neapolitan makes sense

[nomnomnom]

No?
I'm just saying that it's awkward for a neap to exist here considering we're both neighbors and that's 100% false positives if there's a check on us

[nomnomnom]

I ~guess~ it reduces the number of people to check if we claim, which you did
I'm just thinking this through, does that make sense from a game design perspective?

[Captain the Furret]

I mean
it checks out to me.

[nomnomnom]

I mean you have more experience making setups so I'm inclined to believe you
but I'm just thinking about the power of a Neap in this game considering we are neighbors
there are probably implications if this is true

[Captain the Furret]

Neapolitan isn't a role I explored that much considering during 2017-early 2018 I didn't really put neapolitans in games since I didn't really have VTs, so I didn't even know that we would check negative to it.
I feel like I'm more inclined to believe that it is real because we check negative to it. And its not like we had like, anyway of knowing.

[Captain the Furret]

Like, I didn't know that we actually did check negative to a neapolitan which is interesting.
I know what this means for me, but for you I have no idea, and I feel like I really need time to think about that.

[nomnomnom]

odd question but would you make a micro setup with a neap and a scum neighbor
It would significantly reduce my paranoia if I could come to the conclusion that it's not a thing but I have seen little when it comes to acceptable game design so yeah

[nomnomnom]

I think the real interrogation is with the macho claim, honestly
kind of implies we have a protective of some sort as well here

[Captain the Furret]

Macho Neapolitan, some kind of protective vs goons?
makes sense to me.

[Captain the Furret]

scum neighbors is something I explored in the past.
Would I do that when I decided to explore it?
If I thought about it, yeah actually. I probably would done something along those lines for Furret's Bizarre Adventure part 1 if I thought of it.

[nomnomnom]

that reduces the neap effectiveness by a whole lot though, considering the protective also checks negative
that would mean there are only 3 people max that will return a positive in this game, and if the goons get checked they have to fakeclaim
makes sense if the aim is having a very light investigative power in this game, tbh

[nomnomnom]

I think he's referring to this game: https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=81815

that's the setup

[Captain the Furret]

I wanna sleep on this

[nomnomnom]

Yeah so
the big big thing I see is that the neap in that game was neighbor with one of the 2 town prs
Any other check than the tracker on a townie would have confirmed a townie, that's much much stronger
The scum team had a lot of protection from the neap, between hiding behind a neighborhood and having an ascetic goon, and on top of that he's even night
hmmmm...

[nomnomnom]

That neap feels much more like a way to confirm townies, rather than incriminate people, is my conclusion
now the question is if that's the direction that was taken with this setup p much

[nomnomnom]

this game confuses me so fucking hard
i feel like I'm being setup as tomorrow's lynch already pretty much it's a very awful feeling

[Captain the Furret]

Bruh we just don’t wanna be played like gameboys tbh`
