Welcome HockeryFan.

Something about how Greeting’s played early on feels artificial like they are doing it to look busy, but I feel like it could be a Newbie thing.

I highly disagree that its impossible for scum to bus in a Newbie game, since it has happened, can happen, and depends on how scum wants to play this death off that it is optimal that scum kills their buddy.

There are times when it doesn't become risky but a viable option.

Weird in that it felt like PR claim but it doesn't make sense since Greeting said later that it wasn't good to do?

Also with how things have been going with GrandpaMo and Dorsey I doubt both are scum together unless one of them is individually more scummy.

Also 3 votes still on Dorsey when they were at E-2 and claimed uncounterclaimed jail keeper is just very odd since if he flips JKer is just horrible. I think the best way to play this is eliminate someone else, have Dorsey JK and hope they survive if the other PR can help them.

Otherwise if they don’t hammer or hammer Dorsey and he flips JK then it’s horrible for Town. If that happens I’m guessing town implodes on itself because of this later.

I guess JKer is convenient since there are two scum and JKer protected so there’s that, but I highly doubt someone gets insanely lucky that both PRs are compatible with JKer here, and nobody CCed.

And by compatible I mean they can maybe both exist with JKer and each other but don’t think it’s possible.

Lol, why would Titus send her Friendly Neighbor to me? She was supposed to send it to someone to prove that I didn't JK them and then clear whoever I did JK.

Can I get spoilers, though?

Sorry, no spoilers. See Micc's head post.

Most of my posts were actually nai and would've been the same even if I was town, ngl, we just have conflicting playstyles but I got unlucky and you jailed me d1. It's also possible my playstyle just gets universally scumread, but a town meta in the future should help deal with that. It's not active lurking.

Friendly Neighbour pretty much doesn't matter, if you jailed the right person that's pretty close to automatic win for town. CCing you on day 3 just loses for mafia, so whatever you say would've counted.

I don't get why Greeting would say anything to out Friendly Neighbor despite being asked either.

Hello everyone!

First, Dorsey, well done on saving us, town, on Night One. I wanted you gone as tbf your behavior late into Day Two seemed like a desperate frenzy to me. The claim at the end made me think that you're scum even more. The "Sure, Jan" gif is a meme which was meant to indicate my disbelief.

I was, and am busy. I work 8 to 4 and then usually sleep. :dead: This behavior isn't indicative of anything, I would have done the same even if I were scum.

In post 17, StrangeMatter wrote:I don't get why Greeting would say anything to out Friendly Neighbor despite being asked either.
I faced a dilemma. I received a message and originally wanted to withhold its content from town and subtly reinforce the notion that I knew Titus was conftown. However, when asked directly a question like that, I figured that this is what Titus wanted so I did it.
In post 8, StrangeMatter wrote:Weird in that it felt like PR claim but it doesn't make sense since Greeting said later that it wasn't good to do?
In my opinion, it wasn't. I've done it because I felt like I was pressed to do it. After all, it did not concern me directly, but Titus and so I thought that she knows what she's doing and apparently she did.

Another thing is Day 1, unlike in chat mafia usually has no information for town but that really doesn't stop anyone, and usually unclaimed PR is real

Although take that with a side of salt since it was mostly casual not too serious.

It’s cool, no worries. I have a specific playing style, which involves using gifs because it’s a game and not a funeral home. That, combined with my wrong reads led town into voting me out.

Anyways, I'm not entirely sure if kennyk is scum. I might have dismissed them too easily as a substitute to an idle newbie (Dew). But to be fair, they made pretty valid points.

GrandpaMo on the other hand is great at creating a mess with their posts and passing under the radar while doing it. I think there's a reasonable chance he's the second scum member. Thoughts?

I honestly don't know. It doesn't make sense to me either. I also don't know why she chose to send Friendly Neighbor to me on Night One.
