mystery box of silver 10. (done)

[superbowl9]

OK, our third should remain hidden... or not. Up to them.

Third one shouldn’t claim.
If one of you two die then that third one can confirm themselves as Third mason thing whatever you are, later.

Agreed. We discussed in our PT that we could almost act as activating ICs, which is why we didn’t claim post 1

Superbowl... stop testing fate...

[Almost50]

0%

though the "is a 3p that can win with the town scum?" debate will prob flare up

We are not 3P "who can win with town". We are TOWN who appear as 3P to an alignment Cop. We canNOT win without the town winning, and we do not have any "extras" to our win-con, cor do we have an alternate win-con.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Bragging about a hidden crumb? Really...

[superbowl9]

Trust me norway if someone could find it I wouldn’t have said that

[Almost50]

if you guys are just miller masons you aren't 3p...

I used Miller because we do not return "Town" to alignment Cops. But we do not return Scum (Mafia) either. We return 3P. Do you have a better name for us? Because the mod didn't tell us we are "Millers" either, but rather "Town-aligned 3P" as superbowl said, but -in my mind- that IS a Miller modifier. So I am a Mason (because all 3 of us are confirmed town-aligned to each other) and a Miller (because I do not appear Town to an alignment Cop)

[superbowl9]

Yes A50 we are functionally that but i think Nero thought that was your actual role based on how you claimed, which caused confusion.

[samantha97]

wouldn't the third mason not claiming add risk of a cop (if one exists) wasting their ability? obviously it would thin the pool for mafia to choose from as well, but I don't think that's a bigger issue

[Menalque]

so, we kill one of the two who've outed to make sure it's true then go from there?

[Ban Hydras]

I still can't whether or not this is a troll

Take a wild guess. Who do you think it is? You have ONE shot at it.

[Menalque]

motifs of the series:

assignment of roles to town by mafia; heavy information to mafia; night actions being determined by events (e.g., two players are assigned to collaboratively use a doctor ability); normal roles or otherwise non-flashy roles; uncertain guilties vs. certain innocents; setup fake-outs; vanilla by any other name tastes just as sweet.

incidentally: "uncertain guilties vs certain innocents, setup fake-outs" makes me think this could be a thing, but idk if A50, superbowl, and the third have enough experience with MBoS games to come up with this fake claim as scum

so do you not wanna answer that question or?

TR on Menalque has just been revoked. Now I have TEN "potential scum" candidates on my list

[Nero Cain]

Who are they and y?

[NorwegianboyEE]

A50 i wanna give you a light playful tap on the head right now.

[Ban Hydras]

I'm skimming occasionally when I want a short break from work.

I buy the miller mason claim because of the A50/Norway conflict over it and because Superbowl was a solid townread and in that block of three. Three locktowns is nice.

Menalaque should know their take is terrible.

What was the question? I saw you suggesting the 3rd should Mason out, and I said you should guess them. Are you asking me to out my Mason buddy against their own will?

That would be a one night loss.

The odds of that happenening are 1 in / 23 -2 (outed "3p masons") -1 (cop won't check themselves).

So we get 1/20. Then minus the odds the cop gets roleblocked or either target gets nightkilled.
-nightkillshots -roleblocks on cop.

The worst thing if all of that happens right is the cop gets outed. Not worth it.

[Titus]

At least this gets us closer to lynching Taylor.

Yeah sorry your omgus was wrong buddy

[samantha97]

the question was:

wouldn't the third mason not claiming add risk of a cop (if one exists) wasting their ability?

do you agree/disagree? obviously because I think that it would risk wasting a night of a cop ability I do think they should claim though, yes

[Almost50]

Who are they and y?

I won't list them until "our third" outs (if so they wish), As for the why, it's a combination of specific SRs, and PoE (I took off the ones I deemed are TRs). Town-hunting in a Large is a good strategy, especially when there are some high posters and some lurky ones (i.e. when I can't get reads on many either due to them not providing enough content or them talking too much to the point I dunno what they're saying anymore)
