Hey there! Never played in forum format, but played a lot of quick chat room format a few years ago after playing a bit with my university drama society, because of course that was a hotbed of RP games

VOTE: Clasko

Piplup is GOAT.

Honestly, having hard opinions on a gen of Pokemon starters that aren't 1 or the most recent one in 2021 is pretty sus.

VOTE: Roden

[Astra]

oh yeah and me and margotrosa know each other irl, but I don't believe we've ever played together before.

Have also committed IRL to not talking about the game outside of the forums, which is probably a rule, but also is just good etiquette

You're forgetting that the D/P remakes are coming out later this year. Also, "honestly" tell.

P.S. Hockey is town on vibes.

[LicketyQuickety]

What is everyone's experience playing Mafia?

[LicketyQuickety]

Why?

I would also like to know.

What do you have against honesty?

I've been playing on MS semi-regularly since I joined.

It's nothing major, but it's simply that scum sometimes have a tendency to overuse words that they think will "sound" more towny.

RQS is a scum tell. It's an irrelevant question that's just there to make you look busy.

Had a newbie game where someone said "tbh" over thirty times and turned out to be scum. They still won even after it was pointed out as a scum tell too.

Uh huh. What's your sample size for that?

[Roden]

If you're asking about the RQS scum tell sample size, you've been on this site long enough to know that one.

If it's the "tbh" tell I'm not sure how you expect me to source that unless you want me to comb through every newbie game and CTRL+F scum ISO's for "tbh" and "honestly". Which uh, I'm not gonna do. But I'm clearly not the only one who's heard of that tell anyway.

You used the honesty tell unironically, same for the RQS tell, which I have never heard of. If you look through my newbie games, you will see I like RQS better than RVS.

[LicketyQuickety]

At least for Newbie games.

I use honestly and tbh a lot. Will try to keep that in mind lol.

And personality appreciate the RQS stuff. Light atmosphere to start the game, which I imagine will get quite testy

[T3]

Why?

If there's no Tracker then we play normally. If there is a Tracker then if there's a Jailkweper they should Jail the Tracker. If there's a FN they should target the Tracker. If there's a Doctor they should protect the Tracker.
Once day 2 hapens we massclaim.
If Doctor/FN is run up to E-1 then just claim 'PR'.

But we just make scum job easier. They only have to kill one special role, and know who the other is, and if wee have the relevant setup, they can do so without ever having to worry about whether doctor is going to protect their target.

This is bad logic

[Astra]

I think I'm missing the utility of this? It seems to me that in that scenario we have a 1/3 chance of alive tracker but no result (if jailkeeper), a 1/3 chance of alive tracker and result (if doctor), and then a coinflip of dead tracker or alive tracker with result (if neighbour). And why would that help us on day 2 - surely it would be better for the tracker to not claim and hopefully get a result without risking death in the same way?

edit after margotrosa's post: I'm not sure what you mean by this?

[T3]

Mafias don't know if there's a FN or a Doctor.

[Astra]

Yeah I know, that's why I said it would be a coinflip

[T3]

Mafia not killing anyone is worse than them killing a VT. It's not logical for them to take that risk.

[LicketyQuickety]

Are you suggesting that Scum will not used their NK if we do this strategy?

No. I'm saying that scum going for Tracker in a 50/50 nk/kill tracker isn't worth it if it fails.

[Astra]

Ah ok I see. Even if it's the case they don't go for the tracker, what's the pro of the tracker claiming day 1 rather than day 2?
