they did not begin with asserting their plans and they are consistently building off the other... really hard to fake this as theatre imo.

if youre referring to me not taking a more AGGRESSIVE play by voting people and wagon hopping, ill just be honest and say i havent fully digested the past 10 pages well.
and so im really just spewing what comes to mind with the few posts that pique my interest
In post 8, Gamma Emerald wrote:Alright. I wanna start off with an RQS this game. Questions are as follows:
1) what power role have you not been that you want to try out, and why? Don’t factor in your current role, answer this question assuming you are vanilla this game.
2) If you were scum, who would be your a) D1 miselim push, b) N1 kill, and c) partner you’d want to bus you and go to the end, given each person was the correct alignment for that specific action?
3) What is your skill with mechanic-heavy setups? If you’re not skilled at them, do you intend to get better with practice or rely on others?
4) What is your favorite candy?
5) What would you say is your biggest strength and biggest weakness as town/scum/in general?
1. I'd like to be cult leader in a game where my entire cult didn't bus me to death.
2.a. probably you b. probably Titus c. Pooky or DGB
3. Generally bad, but I played a similar game to this recently. I was so bad I somehow managed to die twice before anyone else had died. But it was so fun!!
4. Candy bad.
5. Biggest strength as town = pretty much never getting mis-elimmed. Biggest strength as scum = mostly winning because my bad reads are a benefit
HE DOESN'T LIKE CANDY?! LIKE WHAT?!
Also, check out number 5. Never getting mislim'd and having bad reads. hmmm...
In post 92, SirCakez wrote:well outing the locations is good and bad
good because we can make a plan
bad because scum can mess with that plan presumably
maybe but i'd rather have the entire game leashed so people dont wander off and murder each other in the room they shouldn't be in

Lol are you actually scum cake
you think outing everything now is good? I see too much risk
we've started now dude. I'm totally down with elimming in the pool of those who won't claim if we have such a thing.
In post 118, Battle Mage wrote:I feel pretty relaxed with Pooky in charge - he knows how to do this game.
Wait you relaxed with someone else in charge?
Completely! the last time we played a game similar to this I got singled out and killed by scum immediately. Pooky didn't realise I was dead and tried to rescue me....dying himself in the process.
He knows that people getting picked off sucks, and is coming up with a plan to avoid that. Total townvibes.
Or this... This is scum vibes to me. This is "I'mma coast and let other people do the hard work" and with the last post, doesn't sit well with me.
In post 189, Alisae wrote:Battle Mage has 1 task so it should be fine.
I can also go w/ Battle Mage so you feel safer, I have a 2nd task but I don't mind it if it would make you feel safer
I'm not planning to go anywhere without 3/4 people minimum.
This is interesting...
In post 37, Battle Mage wrote:i guess the alternative to all moving in a pack would be for people to pair up - easy way to identify scum.
And this is why. I'm getting a people pleaser vibe here.
In post 201, Alisae wrote:I think allowing the opportunity for scum to get an extra kill is important
we also shouldn't be sending anyone that's too important if we do try to create opportunities for scum to kill. Town can benefit off of a townie that needs to be sorted dieing.
I'm not sure on this though.
if we're just going to do the tasks and win, does sorting even matter though?
Like we've said why we still need to sort people but he's hesitant to be sorted it seems?
I dunno, I feel like I'm in a rabbit hole at this point and everythings just going to go "I'M SCUM!" at me? (¤﹏¤)
In post 195, PookyTheMagicalBear wrote:it doesnt matter if someone needs to be in a room two nights in a row. the point of leashing the entire PL is that nobody can wander off and kill you when u r in that room alone on night 2
I meant in terms of how many nights it make take to complete. We can't just visit X number of rooms each night and cover each room on 1 night.
Maybe not enough people have combinations like mine for it to matter, but wanted to claim this before we get too far.
Also splitting into smaller groups where the towniest players are paired makes sense, but if scum have a regular NK they can potentially frame people.
ah i hadnt thought about the framing thing. do the kills take place at the same time though?
Honestly, have you given this game any thought? :/
In post 205, Alisae wrote:Like I'm not okay with obvtown getting killed via the extra kill mechanic, so it would be someone that town would be okay with dieing.
pedit: I mean I think we can try to go for a task any% speedrun but I think if we get handed a free scum lynch we should take it?
agree if it's on a plate due to a cop investigation or something, but otherwise I'm not keen on us elimming through half-assed scumhunting when we are all handicapped with post restrictions and the like.
BM is my greater sus atm there is something off and I'm about to do an ISO dive
ehhhh. not a fan that you sus'ed the other popular wagon because it feels like youre waiting to jump elsewhere
but ill wait for your ISO dive before further thought.
I looked at HC because people were asking for suspicions on that slot and I was hyper braining so figured I'd get warmed up on that one. BM was a stronger suspicion since my entry post.
I like to case people and confirm my reads when I have the hyper brain function available to me (⊙ꇴ⊙)

I guess I'll make my own brand of argument for why I don't think no flipping is a good idea.
Stealing from others.
1. Scum gunna run interference of some kind. Whether that interference is strong enough or not is up to the murdercatto true believers and cynicaldoggos of the world.
2. Blah, blah, info to solve/majority town controlled elim is better than 100% scum chosen elim (usually? I should probably look that up) blah,blah, blah you've heard it all before in every no elimination? mafia thread that has ever been posted.
3. If you think it's hard to hunt now when there are no post restrictions get ready for rhyming Bear trying to explain why xyz is scum.
Counter arguments:.
1. I doubt it.
2.Game winning through task solving if we start right now COULD conceivably work. It's just making an argument from ignorance.
3. Even when we can talk straight we're usually wrong anyway, lol. Maybe it will make us more accurate instead I dunno. But more arguments from ignorance. sry.
I'm an ignorant doggo.

@DGB - I'm working and the majority of this thread seems to be filled with pointlessness regardless.
Even then I never said I wouldn't catch up, merely that it is delayed and I will be lurking about in thread until my shift ends at least.
Do you have anything that you want me to look at in particular?
Ftr, I will be done at work at 8:30 EST and will be completing my catch up some point after that.
Moving on, @Bell - This seems like a bad strategy simply because we have no point of reference for if this is working or not.
Surely the game is balanced around the fact that this wouldn't work, no?
Plus if we go all in and it turns out we're wrong (which, let's be real, is the most likely outcome) then we just lose straight up.
Scumhunt normally until we see a reason to do something else, which is probably never going to happen.
PEDIT - I will also note that work has put me into a slower workflow so I may actually find time even before the end of my shift to get more done.
Furthermore, I feel that alisae has somewhat shallow reads and constantly posting lists is an easy way to look like you're doing something when you're not.
A cursory glance shows she has done this at least 5 or 6 times already.

Work is calling again, busy until a bit later unfortunately.
I will note that voting into the no elims might prove fruitful - I feel like that's an idea that's obviously bad so there could be something behind it.
BM being there probably means something.
Isn't all of mafia pointless by definition? What does one expect?

@Taly,
Pooky, alisae, you (or you're doing a good job of faking some pretty detailed thoughts!), Flea,
even though I gave a warning about the doggo the doggo is still town spewing from my pov.
The rest are kinda meh, I could prolly point to weak town leans/scum leans but per post it would balance on and off.
Titus I'm rapidly vacillitating on because she looks like obv scum, but she's always scum/third party so.
Have I even played with town titus.
Oh. Yeah sort of.
