im gonna do vote records with colours at some point, wasnt willing to do that overnight cause it was a bit of work and I could've been shot.


My early thoughts are Sky and Kyan are scum. Third is less certain.

Maybe now is a good time to consider lynching an inactive?

I know that everyone in this game has been adhering to a general policy that post activity isn't indicative of alignment, but we have a bunch of posters in the thread who have been ignored from the start as a result of that policy. No one has voted for them. No one has pressured them. No one has questioned them. Maybe, just maybe, we should be concerned about that?

Okay...

Who else do you think is scum? We are probably in mylo or lylo, and we have more than one scum left. We can't afford to tunnel in one one person today. Even if we hit scum today, we still need to generate conversation about other people to help us as much as possible tomorrow.

Yuck.


Both these posts are pretty bad, I don't know how you couldn't easily figure it was lylo today.


Going for inactives (you seem to describe this as policy more than anything) in lylo is a terrible idea.

Re-analyze the situation, go for the most likely to be scum.

This isn't policy. Unless you, Splinter, and Kyanrute all happen to be scum (which I seriously doubt), then there are scum among the inactives!

I am venting for one at how much everyone has been giving the inactives a complete pass. We are in lylo or mylo, I am perfectly aware of that. We shouldn't be in the state where we have two or three people who have never been seriously questioned or examined by the rest of the players. It is a frustrating position to be in.

Tell me, do you think Lone_Prodigy is town or scum? What about Kalor? Zippedpinhead? Spare me the finger-wagging and give us some reads.

oh and don't forget to claim.
I'm some character who is probably from Infamous 2 named Eugene Sims.

My given role is Virgin. If I am night-killed, tge Mafia loses their next night kill. I didn't claim earlier in the game for obvious reasons.

Calling them inactives seems mildly insulting because that implies they are never there. They are low posters, there's not as much to work from but there is still something to work from.

I thought LP and Kalor were solid town until this point, but everything must be reconsidered.

I blind read Zipped, which I've made clear several times in this game. He naturally reads as scum to me every time. I definitely could see



Your claim is very useful for keeping you alive and for keeping scum off you now. I don't know why you wouldn't have claimed ordinary at this point.

Seriously?

You call for a mass claim, and when I do claim you immediately say that I should have lied on my claim and call it suspicious.

Also, you called them inactives in the post I reaponded to.

Why do you consider LP and Kalor solidly town? Until I called LP out on his behavior, he was posting minimum amounts of content to exactly hit the post minimum. Kalor has a habit of being very vague about the reasoning behind his reads and votes, and mostly posts in bursts to get just over the minimum post count towards the end of the day. Zippedpinhead has good arguments, but I can't shake the feeling that he is echoing the opinions of other people a lot of the time.

You can give me better reads than that, cabot.

My first thought is that scum would give this claim to someone more likely to be lynched, and Sky doesn't seem that much in danger atm

OTOH not all scum teams are also coordinated

Did you ask what happens if the neutral hit you?
My role PM says night-killed, not "night-killed by mafia". If Bronx hit me, scum would still have been hurt.

My general strategy was to generally just avoid getting lynched and not let on that I had such a role. After all, I don't usually have a problem getting night-killed early in these games! Naturally, the scum team was instead fed a neatly formed queue of confirmed townies to off. So things didn't work out as planned.

My logic is backwards, this is a claim that excuses continued survival, cabot's scepticism makes more sense now

Sky we've had this discussion about LP multiple times, I cant be bothered fishing my posts yet again. I gave reasons.


Kalor is because he just came off of Brexit being scum where he posted waaaaaay more than he usually does. This game he's back to normal.


Kalor deserves a thorough look again considering that's not the most impressive reason to town read someone.

Also by the by, I don't think you've played like a virgin, you've been scumread reasonably widely throughout this game, scum aren't going for you with that.

I am not responsible for other people scumreading me over inexplicable reasons and vague "bad vibes".

Everyone's reads this game have been terrible, if I need remind you. The only person with good reads was the serial killer. Most of the scum reads leveled against me were people just bandwagoning off of earlier reads that a post of mine *might* have been shady.

If you think I am scum, then say so and give me your reasoning.

I don't care about reads, a good virgin play is when you step up and start getting in amongst everything in the game. You should be in the same style as Splinter, Blarg and I. Instead you have sort of faded into the middle of the pack, where you offer some thoughts but it's never come off consistently as a strong voice. Why would scum lynch middle of the pack?

The town-confirmed roles have made it easier for them, though not impossible. You could've stepped up yesterday when it was quiet and tried to push the game, that maybe would have put you above OA.

I am not a perfect Mafia player. I am a FFXIV addict for one thing. Even if I wanted to, there is no way I could keep up with you and Blarg. You average nearly 80 post a game phase. I would need to be posting 24/7 to keep up with you.

BTW, you are still dodging my question. Do you think I am scum? Is this bad play or am I scum? This is low effort shade right now, since everyone can always theoretically play their role better.

Yes, I think you're scum. I've been uncertain all game, and I'm dubious of your claim.


Even ignoring the high post counts, why didn't you know it was lylo today? easy to figure out when looking at the player counts and spreading them by faction like I did. Splinter also mentioned it was likely lylo this phase during D6.

You can't deny it's dangerous to claim it could be mylo.

Hopefully everyone checks in and claims.

The fact you claimed a PR probably puts you second in lynch priority, though we shall see what everyone else says.

It's currently 4 town vs 3 scum.


We lynch scum, 4 v 2.


Who can scum NK?

Assuming PRs aren't lying, there are only two possible choices. Sky is a bad idea and I can't be killed tonight.


Remember that.
 

Kyanrute

And hmm.

Well.

I thought of the very thing that cabot just thought there.

If the other claimants are what they are...

Kyaaa's death is much imminent! Oh noes!

So.

Ummmm.

Anyone want to talk about balance?

cuz i is town pr too

I notice we're missing a sort of investigative role. I was hoping for some of that.


Upon my reading, town doesn't seem particularly strong. A few public alignment roles, my role is defensive and not much else.


Please be something worthwhile.

I'll include fluff names, though at least on my side I've forgotten most things in inFAMOUS, so it's pointless.

With a potential maximum of 10 Ordinaries, that seems a little low for the player count.


Then again we've got some fairly weak PRs.

Willing to demonstrate my ability should I somehow become the lynch candidate (though at that point I imagine it'd do fuck all). Obviously, I'd pick the time for the demonstration to avoid da hammer.
