Hi at dinner! Happy thanksgiving to all USA peoples!

[Marshmallow Marshall]

Hi and glhf!

[Marshmallow Marshall]

This game SHALL NOT start by a random vote! Instead of that, I propose that we do... a mass claim. As last game scum, I was very scared of such a strategy because the simple fact of having a sheriff or two masons makes a town block that can overwhelm the Mafia very easily. This has been done in the last hours of the previous game, and "it has been a real mindfuck", as said ilovepickles.

Before starting claiming roles, I'd like to know your position about this strategy. I have to go now, and I expect something when I'll get back ;)

I know I was a dirty crime boy the first time this and I obviously had an ulterior motive for disagreeing with it, I still stand by the fact that it's boring as hell.

i agree, the only person that should claim is me, cause i'm jesus<3

Oh and you said I’m cocky.

You claimed on page one that you were town leader lol.

Everything you said about me you’re actually projecting your own bullshit

[Mesk514]

you made two long posts detailing everything great about your plays. multiple self flattery posts. Town leader is what i roled. not you. and you were not going to take that from me.

But it's a solution. A strategy being boring (for you) doesn't mean it's a bad one.

MM, when you start a new videogame do you immediately set the difficulty to the easiest mode so you can get through it as quickly as possible?

Nope. But I ain't starting a new videogame here. And I've played Deus Ex probably 10 times. :P

Hello.

Maf is going to claim TPR this game. This should be considered fact. At least one mafia will attempt to get away with a sheriff claim. This makes me think we actually do have a sheriff.

I'm looking forward to getting to know the new players on this site!

Hm, agreed. This brings the question: should we mass claim or not? If we get 2 sheriff claims, it'll be weird.

[PowersThatBe]

I’m against it at this point. I’ve never played a set up like this, but an early mass claim would allow scum to blend in from the beginning of the game. Whereas at the end of the game you can make a better assessment based on their behavior throughout the game. Also in a one lynch game you have to get it 100% right in a Cc.

The more info you give scum early in the game the more of a disadvantage you put us in. Scum already knows that we’re town, giving them our roles this early would make us more easily manipulated.

This is what I felt about early game mass role claim and then blink did it. I can’t believ you people can’t see how I would think that was scummy

[Mesk514]

you thought everything anyone said was scummy. you left all those doors open to your benefit.

[PowersThatBe]

Also without a night there is no way for claims to prove anything etc etc

This turkey is making it hard to type lol.

Only people who should claim are host confirmable roles like mayor (if there is one) or potentially masons if there are masons (if they’re allowed) so they can use their chat to confirm.. but again scum could fake claim masons too.

Basically the whole point of this game is to hone traditional scum hunting tactics. So you’re going to have to look at every post everyone makes and ask your self the sole important question.

“If this person is scum, what would be their motivation to say what they’re saying?”

Then apply the same thing to town “what would be town motivated reasons for saying what they’re saying.

Thaaaanks for teaching me how to play PTB.

[PowersThatBe]

Then figure out what makes more sense when comparing the two motivations and vote based on that.

[blinkskater]

so how do i even know what role i got?

[Stealthbomber16]

so how do i even know what role i got?

Check your messages, you should have received a notification of an "Unread Private Message". If you click on that, it will take you to your inbox which will have a message for you with your role in it (and if applicable any chat you may have)

[Mesk514]

Im a citizen woootwooot

[blinkskater]

so what do i do just post?

[Mesk514]

You shpuld have gotten a private message blink

[blinkskater]

[blinkskater]

so, i guess I will publically state my role then

[blinkskater]

Sheriff here, Nawa is also town, a citizen at that

[PowersThatBe]

Sheriff here, Nawa is also town, a citizen at that

How would you even know nawa was town?

[Stealthbomber16]

[PowersThatBe]

[Marshmallow Marshall]

How would you even know nawa was town?

Did you read the setup? It's a terrible error to not read it, huh...

[PowersThatBe]

Lol I guess I hate sheriff so much I overlooked it. I read mayor and instantly read the mason descriptions.

[Stealthbomber16]

[PowersThatBe]

well this is fucking awkward

Just when we thought we escaped the trolls

[blinkskater]

Best thing to do is be honest right, are you even a member of the town Stealth?

[Marshmallow Marshall]

Indeed. But here, some people figured out that lying about your role and thoughts as Town can be sometimes beneficial to town... They called that WIFOM, and now this disease is spread and townies started lying. .

[blinkskater]

[PowersThatBe]

Interesting. I’ve never played this setup so I didn’t know it sends roles to sheriffs.you and nawa could easily be scum though...

[blinkskater]

[PowersThatBe]

how ever what I said before IS true, I Must Not Tell Lies

Well we have no way of actually knowing that. Lol. I feel like you’re trolling, but only time will tell. So we’ll wait for a sheriff cc if there will be one. That will help with scum poe
