Hi Shrek, don't know why you opened with a roleclaim at E-3 but I'm interested in seeing what you have to say.

my role claim is vanillia townie now excuse me while i read back on the thread and see everything thats happened
hihi :eek: do u always start off with a roleclaim or did u feel like u needed to claim..?
portia is being grilled and i would also prefer to eat the nightkill as a vt than an important power role. i have less of a problem claiming with vt since i know i dont have any useful abilities to start off with anyways and i feel like portia needs something to pull them out of the hole since theyd have to claim sooner or later anyway. best to get it outta the way now

basically idc whether or not people know im vt and i dont really see the downside in it except for maybe the fact that its such an easy claim anyway. i dont always claim immediately but i tend to be a bit more open with my role regardless

That’s… unfortunate cause like part of the function of VT is to obscure the power roles. You just reduce the mafia’s PoE then …

This is a weird explanation

Why would you expect to be nightkilled as a claimed VT whose slot is under suspicion?

because im an incredible gamer who should be eliminated asap if the mafia want to win. #1 scumhunter in the making yo

also theres always the possibility that im a power role claiming to be vanilla town to avoid being nightkilled in the first place. so who knows whether or not it would reduce the mafia poe? vt is the easiest claim in the book and its also always the best claim barring a few special circumstances. so me claiming vt really doesnt mean much to begin with, because i could literally be any role including vt. also i just hopped into the game i havent gotten my line of thought in order after my last game as a traffic analyst who was under threat of being nightkilled so idk. im still reading through the thread so gimme a hot minute

VOTE: Not_Mafia

regardless of whether or not his playstyle is just to be ‘hard to read’, that doesnt mean he can be excused from giving his current thoughts on the situation. looking through his iso he really doesnt have any meaningful contributions at all so id like him to come forth and like. talk more

VOTE: The Ogre
Also, what is Not_Mafia doing? This is some of the worst play I’ve ever seen.
I will SEARCH for games with you and N_M to help you policy him.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.

well it dominated the start of the game i think? i really dont see a mafia being willing to engage themselves in a feud and draw attention for that long. youd think at one point one of them would have dropped it way earlier than it went on for but they just kept going. i think that val comes out of it looking worse because he tried to explain away his nm sus as 'not serious' which is a little weird to look at so i have him lower than luke, but otherwise i think it might generally be tvt.

Color me confused by the claim, but I guess I understand your thinking on it.

If the thread and what people have said is any indication, NM is unlikely to respond to your request for more contributions.

quick note: miselimming a townie is usually a bad thing. i still dont know why nms strategy of being unreadable is a good idea to begin with, but i suppose the inner machinations of his mind are an enigma

also i still think that one of luke/val should be flipped in the future just for safe measures. i would say val if i had to pick because it seems like most of his content from the debacle is backpedaling and saying it wasnt serious but luke has reasons to be sus too
