I think https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... 5#p5474325 makes a pretty good argument for mass claiming lovers day 1.

Here's how I see it:

I agree we should eventually mass claim all lover pairs for the reasons outlined there (although i disagree that mafia doesnt gain as much). However, I do find some addtional value in seeing what arises before the claim in terms of reads and how they hold up after the reveal if info.

I cant go that much in depth, since If we end up doing it I rather not telegraph mafia any clue how to react, but for example: Player A scum reads both player B and C. B and C turns out to be a lover pair. How will A respond?

I will admit I just realized a potential flaw which is that we only have four day long day phases, so this may be to chaotic to try and pull off, analyze, and make a lynch in that short timeframe. Nonetheless, I think it's something that should be considered.

Would that really be quality though? Sounds kinda boring. There should be more drama!

I won't disagree that point, but best to get obvScum out of the way early........finding your buddy is the tricky part.

@HoldenGolden Whatever we do, we should only claim if everyone claims. Your theorycrafting is already giving me headaches. I think massclaim right away will make everything simpler for everyone, giving a net benefit to town since we outnumber mafia.

That's why you tenderize them; slowly pressure cooking them over the day phase until they bark out their partner like a snitch.

If people agree, sure. We can do it now. All I'm saying is to delay an universal mass claim to gather more info to help town after the claim then what we would get mass claiming now.

Would you like to claim your mafia partner while the rest of the crowd debates?

I will say that my lover hasn't been all that active in our PT, not sure if it is a time zone thing........or I fear I did something to anger my lover!

I am broken hearted now.

Follow the cop is a weak strategy. It never works at all. That's why they changed the newbie setup years ago so cops can't be followed.

Plus I CC: I'm a lover watcher. Nobody is allowed to make love without me watching. There can be only room for one invest role in this town.

Holden, you disappoint me on many levels.

Pre Edit: I should say I am in favor of mass claiming.

hmm in general im not a fan of it. at least not on day 1. the only thing we gain from claiming is associations, and we dont want to be speculating based on associations pre-flip. so day 2 we can do it if we want, but today nono. day 1 scum are somewhat in the dark, but day 2 scum know who all the pairs are so at that point you lose nothing by claiming.

i feel like people always put too much effort into gimmicking a given setup and too little time scumhunting.

I agree with Votey. (Trying a nickname how does it feel? I kind of instantly hate.) He is one smart and sexy unicorn.

Personally I think massclaiming on day 2 is more gimmicky than on day 1.

hawt. nicknames are fine, but that one just sounds like im full of votes. vode, vovo, vo, tater, tato, my love, etc all work tho. if you're sold on votey i will try to learn to respond to it i guess. im not that picky. Some people call me Taylor (as in Taylor Swift). Dunno if that helps though.
