I'm not sure that's damning for prism tbh
yea I can send a message to someone starting on night two
I'm not sure what's the point of my role if there isn't a scum ascetic to catch
I was thinking of just sending love letters to Dats but I don't think that's what the mod had in mind.
I guess it could be a red herring role designed to make me think bad thoughts.

False Positive for PT Cop?

Is anyone familiar with FL's mod meta?

but others might see it that way, and mentioning it indicates that you were at least aware of how others could perceive that action

Might as well Day 1 massclaim at this point.
Not as familiar with the mechanics, unclear whether you'd even get confirmation that it didn't go through. Two ascetics is also not out of scope.

The first line is a joke btw, we are not massclaiming.

I'm p sure mailman doesnt get caught by pt cop
But i think town ascetic could very plausibly be a thing
Also dwlee's reaction to my scumping makes me more sus of them

Not super confident in my setup spec abilities, but it appears that Ari is town, so at least there's that.

Sounds like traffic analyst false positive

I mean there could be 2 mafia ascetics in the game and town gets a novice mailman that acts as a semi-checker but not really

the thought makes sense from the POV of "i am not the ascetic you are looking for"

You're having too many SERIOUS reads based on meh things.

Not really. Aristeia's use is actually valid, point isn't that she gets confirmation point is that it can be used to inadvertantly catch someone hiding.
My first game onsite had two town ascetics, one town one mafia is fine and actually disincentivizes claiming it as mafia if they get beat to it.

Traffic Analyst checks for "Outside communication".

from a mod POV
if I put a town ascetic into the game with a town novice mailman
and town ascetic claims d1 cuz that's correct play for town ascetic.
and draws push from town novice mailman
it feels somewhat like a setup
and there should be additional town power to compensate for this wild goose hunt that FL is putting us on

Idk, if I was town ascetic, I'd just assume it was a false result investigative. (Admittedly, I haven't even looked up what a mailman does and I'm trusting your description is accurate)

Novice mailman is a pretty strange role no doubt. Why is a mailman so good it needs to be nerfed?

You realize i can *very* easily bounce this read back at you, right?
And also i think you're vastly overestimating the strength of my reads ar present

Oh I read that as a verb lmao
What don't you like
I once put a scum mailman into a setup to give a scum player that the traffic analyst couldn't guilty

I can send messages to people starting on Night 2
It's literally a useless role except to catch Mafia Ascetic.
