If you're actually town then you're an idiot for fakeclaiming mason

I don't think you're an idiot though

Hence my vote

She knows I'm town and doesn't need me to pocket her. In fact, if anyone was being pocketed, it was me. Which i accepted with open arms.

Cause of my role pm?

I'm still not 100% sold on Trancend as town so I'm making her do stuff.

Like I had originally voted her b/c I felt like was slightly uneeded if she was just RVSing Maria.

You guys can birthday lynch him, but my role PM suggests I should lynch MariaR.

was a total joke post but I think sometimes scum tend to be jokey and glib.

BUT

Conventional wisdom says she might not put as much attention on herself as scum. I mean the whole buddying of Elyse and/or saving her scum buddy is a thing but I kinda want to lynch in the non scumhunting lurkers/low posters.

You act as though faking a mason claim means nothing changed

in regards to me nothing changed I did nothing else really so anyone who sr me should still sr me so wtf changed with it I don't understand

Keep reading and respond to 623

@Maria
Do you think it's possible that Transcend is taking advantage of your experience with him and fakeclaiming masons to get you on his side? I've seen him say that you're obvtown (lol) but aside from the fake mason claim, you haven't explained why you're townreading him. And if the mason claim is the only reason, you need to take a step back and see the scum motivation in doing what he did. Read the game that I linked.

I don't think Maria/Transcend are both town and think it's far more likely Transcend is scum. Fakeclaiming mason to save a townread that wasn't even the definitive lynch of the day does not seem like a townie thing to do. Makes much more sense for scumTranscend to see an opening to get a pocket townread from Maria. And if he knows she is town, he probably expected her to flip first of the two. And even when she didn't flip mason, he would look good because she was still town. He might get called stupid and antitown for fakeclaiming, but not necessarily scummy. I literally did the same exact thing for the same exact reasons and sailed through the rest of the game.

Yeah it's not like i haven't thought that he could be scum trying to pocket me but the thing is his tone and very all play just screams town to me he plays like this all the time and I know he's good but I doubt he can mirror his play like he is now and the only reason he retracted the claim was because of blacklist he got the vote off me when I was at L-2 I think scum Transcend could of just went along and said "yeah Maria is scummy" and hammered me when you put me at L-1 and this day would honestly be over I am quite sure he is town

Ok so aside from his "tone", you're townreading him for not hammering you?

That's awful. You think he would risk lynching a townie so early on in the day? Especially when he apparently knows your meta and you could throw him under the bus in twilight.

That's not even close to all I'm trying to not out all of my meta on him or he can abuse it when he's scum

I be at home on Sunday but I'll be watching football so...if I see something important I'll hop on but in the mean time you guys can decide which lurkerscum to lynch.

100th post!

Something is off with the Transcend Maria dynamic. I feel one of them is mafia, but I'm not really sure which right now.

What feels off it'd be nice to get an outside look on it even if I think me and him are both town is it the fact we hard tr each other or you're jealous of our mad skillz

haaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

nah it feels forced from at atleast one side, but idk why. anyway, i still dont have a solid scumread on anyone yet

urrrdurrrr

gerry just policy vig them.

hurrrhurrr he'll figure out we're town eventually.

just needs to not be a paranoid asshole like always.

In post 523, I Am Innocent wrote:Nero does this change your reads at all?

maybe...probably. I was coming around to the idea of a kranka/shadow/kanos team. Would Trancend, as scum, put that much heat on himself? I actully think I rather lynch someone else today. Gerry can policy vig that.

@Nero: I would argue that Transcend, as scum, would try the mason fakeclaim whenever he felt he could get away with it. If it works he has made himself essentially unlynchable for the first couple of days, while also buddying up to Maria. There's huge payoff there. The heat his actions generate seem more detrimental to town then to scum as well. From his perspective, if he is town who is trying to defend a townread, he risks two mislynches instead of just one if the plan backfires. Whereas if he's scum fakeclaiming with Maria town, his lynch could easily be followed by a Maria mislynch push from his buddies afterwards.

The mason fakeclaim is something he would always do as scum, and not nearly as much as town. As such, it is far scummier then anything else that happened in the thread thus far. No reason to leave the situation to other players, do what you can do: vote Transcend.

@Maria: If you're interested in the thoughts regarding game balance on mafiascum, you may want to read this or this thread in mafia discussion. General consensus is that we're making games that aren't nearly as townsided as they should be.
