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 ;)

[Stealthbomber16]

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.

[Mesk514]

Im a citizen woootwooot

[PowersThatBe]

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

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.

[blinkskater]

so what do i do just post?

[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.

[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?

[Mesk514]

You shpuld have gotten a private message blink

[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)

[blinkskater]

ah okay I guess i'm playing now then

[blinkskater]

so, i guess I will publically state my role then

[blinkskater]

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

[blinkskater]

so who ever we decide to lynch it is not me or nawa :P

[Stealthbomber16]

well this is fucking awkward

[blinkskater]

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

[PowersThatBe]

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

How would you even know nawa was town?

[PowersThatBe]

well this is fucking awkward

Just when we thought we escaped the trolls

[blinkskater]

it was sent to me with my role you nub

[blinkskater]

makes me think you may be evil

[PowersThatBe]

it was sent to me with my role you nub

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...

[PowersThatBe]

makes me think you may be evil

Lol it’s not that simple. First forum mafia game?

[blinkskater]

Yes, first forum mafia game my dood

[blinkskater]

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

[blinkskater]

-vote powers that be, never question a confirmed townie

[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

[PowersThatBe]

-vote powers that be, never question a confirmed townie

Lol you’re far from confirmed, you spelled my name wrong, and you can’t vote for another 2 days.

[blinkskater]

The mafia players who play with me on Arcade know when I claim sheriff i'm telling the truth i'm kind of a big deal/town hero soooo, yeah you're confirmed scum -vote PowersThatBe

[PowersThatBe]

The mafia players who play with me on Arcade know when I claim sheriff i'm telling the truth i'm kind of a big deal/town hero soooo, yeah you're confirmed scum -vote PowersThatBe

LOL forum mafia is way different than the mod. Also you’re not allowed to vote yet. Breaking rules does not make you town.

I also never said you’re scum. I said it’s a possibility and your claims mean shit, and the fact that you named one other player is sus because that’s something scum would do to get town clout.

Also your OMGUS voting me and over defensiveness leads me to have serious doubts about your claim.

[blinkskater]

I was under the assumptions that this game was just one day long, no night sequences, also I didn't realize I was not able to vote yet and the fact I named Nawa as a Citizen, is to confirm the both of us, SCUM always tries to say the guy telling the truth is making shit up, FYI

[PowersThatBe]

The mafia players who play with me on Arcade know when I claim sheriff i'm telling the truth i'm kind of a big deal/town hero soooo, yeah you're confirmed scum -vote PowersThatBe

Lol just realized you either fake voted intentionally (doubtful) or you don’t know how to vote

The command for voting follows

[ vote ] player name [ /vote ]

Without the spaces

[blinkskater]

I would post screenshot of what I was sent but i'm sure that would be against the rules =)

[Stealthbomber16]

How would you even know nawa was town?

Read the setup.

[Stealthbomber16]

I would post screenshot of what I was sent but i'm sure that would be against the rules =)

It definitely is.

[blinkskater]

Aite in about 70 hours, i'll vote you again the "right" way

[Mesk514]

I am the leader of this town, everyone must obey me and follow my lead

[PowersThatBe]

That may be true in the mod, but in forum mafia, usually the scum try to say shit confus the town since there is no way to really “prove” they are lying or not.

You’re gonna have a long road if you think everyone who questions or challenges you is scum. Just saying

[PowersThatBe]

Read the setup.

I did but I must have over looked that lol

[Marshmallow Marshall]

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

Thaaaanks for teaching me how to play PTB.

[Marshmallow Marshall]

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

OKAY XD


That's why I'm for mass claim, see? Nawa confirm you're citizen please ;)

I'm citizen too btw.

[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...

[Marshmallow Marshall]

The mafia players who play with me on Arcade know when I claim sheriff i'm telling the truth i'm kind of a big deal/town hero soooo, yeah you're confirmed scum -vote PowersThatBe

Ok blink, you're very good at mod but this is NOT the mod... first of all, to vote you must type [ vote ] playernamehere [ / vote ]

Now stop the votes it's a one lynch game. And you can't lynch until 48h later.

[PowersThatBe]

Aite in about 70 hours, i'll vote you again the "right" way

Lol so that’s a wrap I guess.

There are like 7 other people in the game for you to consider.

FYI tunneling someone or being stubborn in a one lynch game is not pro town.

[Marshmallow Marshall]

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

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. .

[Marshmallow Marshall]

LOL forum mafia is way different than the mod. Also you’re not allowed to vote yet. Breaking rules does not make you town.

I also never said you’re scum. I said it’s a possibility and your claims mean shit, and the fact that you named one other player is sus because that’s something scum would do to get town clout.

It's not breaking rules, we are just not allowed to hammer lol...
