Something-something a thing to allow fake-claims (without threat of angle-shooting) if that ever happens, as I used different wording in the PMs.




You have access to an anonymous chat with two other congressmen!

You won't receive the Anonymous Chatzy chat link until SoD1.



You may pardon someone each night. A pardoned player cannot be yeeted the next day. You can't target the same player twice in a row, nor can you self-target. This is announced at the start of day.



Each night you may target a player, making their vote count for 0 the next day. This is announced at the start of the day.

You may target someone at night, placing an anonymous vote on them. This will be announced on the next day, and cannot be changed until the next night. You may self-target and target the same person in a row.



You may protect someone each night. You may self-target. If you successfully save someone, you cannot do so again. If you do, you are informed but your target is not (unless you are the target).

I hate RVS and would rather talk strategy. I guess I'll reread the setup, since I just skimmed it.

Also a couple of things:
First, don't burn yourself out and/or have unrealistic expectations for people's contributions. There's a difference between a lurking scum, and someone who is making good posts, but not talking a lot. So when you are frustrated with the lack of contribution at 3am PST, get a grip, and reread/summarize the game instead of asking "wHeRe Is EvErYoNe? DeAd GaMe!!!!". It'll help you, and help those not able to spend 25/8 on the forums.

Second, since we're playing with the ARCANE early hammer system, I will refuse to vote until end of game. You can assume that whoever I put first in my "vote order bird vote" list is the person I'd vote for. Don't like it? Vote me, petition the host to change it, or bite me.

Why would a scum~congressman say "no" if the opposite makes them "very towny"?

Or even if scum have 0 CMEN, doesn't it help them narrow down the remaining pool to PRs and Voters (making mafia's PR hunt easier than out of the pool of PR+Voters+CMEN)?

I would assume always that the host would put one scum congressman in the chat. I think that any host would do that. So if you approach the chat as though it's like a final 3 scenario, ie, there is one imposter among us, I don't see why it would be a bad thing. Creating further information disadvantage for town is never something that benefits the town.

Yeah, considering any scum within congressmen will be able to share the knowledge with his scummates, this could make sense. It's not like there is a real benefit to remaining hidden anyway, at least none that I can see.

Uh, no? Why in the world would you want the PRs to claim lol, they're just going to get gunned down. The medic only has one successful save charge. The setup was designed not to be solvable via massclaim (and to even punish it). So no, absolutely not.

I like the meta point against Lag, though. I'm not sold about it yet obviously, but it certainly is a great way to start the game. Plus, Lag is always super towny, so I get the chance to vote them for once :D Lag

This vote pings me.

It's one thing to see oliver making a read like that and realizing there is almost no way he makes a post like that as wolf, therefore you think oliver is town.

It's another thing to see the post and actually agree with it, because the accuracy of the read is quite bad. I can link several games directly contradicting the meta read - and considering that you were in multiple of those games, the fact that you go along with a meta read that you should know is just wrong is dubious.

But the real kicker is the hedgy "not sold about it yet" - it's RVS, you can vote whatever, feeling like you have to justify/hedge a vote made not even 25 (player) posts into the game feels like a wolf that's trying to not step on toes here.

Lumi
December 12th, 2021, 09:15 PM
I'm inclined to agree with oliver on the power roles claiming - but it just comes down to people's opinions on mafia philosophy, and ultimately probably doesn't matter that much whether mass claiming is done now or later. Later is probably just better though.

The reason I agree with oliver in that mass claiming should be done at some point is that none of the power roles other than medic actually have inherently pro-town abilities.

Pardon someone from the chop? How is that pro-town? If pardoning someone is in town's interest, then town can just... not vote them? The pardon can only be used to go against the majority's wishes.

Making someone's vote count for 0? How is that pro-town? Even if there's a player that is an outed wolf, you can just ignore their vote. The fringe scenarios where a hidden judge can clutch and stop wolves from having
as many votes as town in like a 2v2 setting is offset by a wolf judge (or even a town judge) torpedoing town in a 3v2 scenario to make it 2v2 instead.

States Attorney + Mayor are effectively the same when it comes down to it - double vote power isn't pro-town, it's just better for the slot that has the double vote power, and we just hope those slots are town.



But I already know that there are players that will hard disagree with this, and unlike the Bisected Souls game - the benefit of an early mass claim is dubious, speculative, and not worth derailing the thread

Just because someone says we're not in RVS, doesn't mean we're not in RVS.

And like, no offense to oliver, but that is especially true when it's a new player making a read that's just totally wrong, pairing that with a statement of "we're not in RVS" doesn't mean anything, you of all people should know that. Also why did you just ignore all of my other points?

Hay Lag. I see you're already dealing with a bunch of analysis so I'll just sit back on this one.

I made a pizza. But I put some diced green onions on it. It was pretty good. I'm surprised more people haven't done that, like yeah white onion is a thing, NEVER red onion. Even chives, which I think is related to green onion and the leek family? But nobody ever says GREEN onion.

Voss, what do you like about Oliverz read onnLag?

You don't know me, but that's okay. I like you because of it.

I liked Oliverz jumping straight into a meta read on Lag. I've talked with lag a bunch, but never played with him, so he's a scary "pro player" in my book. Oliverz seems to have some experience, and I'm glad they shared it, and would agree. Slightly trolling Lag is not my expectation here.

Also, it doesn't look like it, but my 1/3 congressperson idea came up independently. I missed critical things on the first read of the day and blame sleep deprivation. I townread oliverz though for the read on Lag, and not for saying 1/3 congresspeople are evil.

I also read more of your posts past this quote, and I think I will enjoy playing with you :)


Refusing to use the tool to put pressure on people and generate information that way is a little dumb, tbh. I will go with the option "biting you", since this is not AI, it's just sad and suboptimal.

Also, WHERE IS EVERYONE?!! : ]

I mean, if someone is at L-1 and I'm sure they're scum, I'll vote them. But I don't want scum to be able to do this.


This is actually kind of interesting.

I would assume always that the host would put one scum congressman in the chat. I think that any host would do that. So if you approach the chat as though it's like a final 3 scenario, ie, there is one imposter among us, I don't see why it would be a bad thing. Creating further information disadvantage for town is never something that benefits the town.

Let me expand on this a little bit.

Assuming an evil congressperson can figure out who the other congresspeople are through diction, post timing, etc, the scum team knowing who the other congresspeople are benefits scum. Scum would then just not kill or pressure these people, and up their chances of winning by killing non CCable PRs.

I'm not sure how this is information disadvantage, and i'd never advocate for something that I believe is anti-town.

Like, my other assumption here is that it's not advantageous for town to do a D1 mass role claim. This is because we don't want scum killing the better TPRs, and would rather wait a few days for TPRs to out and justify their night actions. Right?

I'd really like to make sure the other congresspeople don't use their chat as it only helps scum, so mechanics are important to me here. And I don't want to type this into the congressperson chat because then the other congresspeople will know I'm a congressperson.

China's Congress has passed a constitutional amendment that removes presidential term limits,
allowing Pao Zedong to remain in office indefinitely and confirming his status as the country's most powerful leader!

We must unite and lead the Chinese people in working ceaselessly for a better life. This country is its people; the people are the country. As we have fought to establish and consolidate our leadership over the country, we have in fact been fighting to earn and keep the people's support. The Party has in the people its roots, its lifeblood, and its source of strength.

Hay Lag. I see you're already dealing with a bunch of analysis so I'll just sit back on this one.

I made a pizza. But I put some diced green onions on it. It was pretty good. I'm surprised more people haven't done that, like yeah white onion is a thing, NEVER red onion. Even chives, which I think is related to green onion and the leek family? But nobody ever says GREEN onion.

So Frinckles claims to be a GREEN onion and NEVER red onion.

I mean, if someone is at L-1 and I'm sure they're scum, I'll vote them. But I don't want scum to be able to do this.


On this topic, what timeframe are you referring to? Every day? D1 only? Earlier days only (before end of "game" - or did you mean "day"?)
"I will refuse to vote until end of game"



Let me expand on this a little bit.

Assuming an evil congressperson can figure out who the other congresspeople are through diction, post timing, etc, the scum team knowing who the other congresspeople are benefits scum. Scum would then just not kill or pressure these people, and up their chances of winning by killing non CCable PRs.

I'm not sure how this is information disadvantage, and i'd never advocate for something that I believe is anti-town.

Like, my other assumption here is that it's not advantageous for town to do a D1 mass role claim. This is because we don't want scum killing the better TPRs, and would rather wait a few days for TPRs to out and justify their night actions. Right?

Solid points here.

I forgot everything about the set up of this game but it looks like politicians here suck as much as their real life counterparts for what i just read from Lag, so what if we just play it old school and stop worrying about mechanics and just catch scum on behavior? Yah?

Cool
More or less, although mechanics are important to worry about when it comes to calculating MYLO since they mess with votes. They will also probably matter tomorrow if/when abilities are used. I really think we should focus on behavioral analysis when possible, though (like right now).

I didnt say Lag was scum, i said Voss is
Oh, my bad. "Lag" was in the last words of his post, and my brain made the switch.

So... why is Voss scum, then? Is it because he blankly agreed with Oliver's read on Lag without further comments?

Hmm.. MM mixing up whom Guillo was replying to. Mixing up the TvT's that aren't on your team Marshmallow Marshall?
You wish :P

Just because someone says we're not in RVS, doesn't mean we're not in RVS.

And like, no offense to oliver, but that is especially true when it's a new player making a read that's just totally wrong, pairing that with a statement of "we're not in RVS" doesn't mean anything, you of all people should know that. Also why did you just ignore all of my other points?

And are you claiming that you actually agree with oliver's read for the reasons he stated?

When somebody gives a reason to vote someone that is not random/trolly and that several people react to it accordingly, RVS ends, whether you like it or not, and the more serious phase begins. Oliver went straight to the point lol.

Yes, I am claiming exactly that, but with an important nuance: as I said, I'm not sold yet - you see, the nuance matters.

Also, I ignored the mechanical part because I was tired and because it was less important ^^. My stance was already stated, too. Are power roles crazy pro-town in this game? No. Are power roles in the hand of town good? Yes. Can scum know who is a town PR? No, unless we literally just tell them and allow them to plan accordingly. Plus, more claims = less cover for the medic. Actions are public in all cases but the medic's, so we're going to ask for specific roles to claim soon enough anyway.

I have one serious read, PQR is 100% town.

No, I do not have any serious reads at this time, other than some town-lean people. No serious scum reads at this point. Consider also that some people have 2-5 posts, so do you think there is a legit mafia slip in one of them? As i've said many times before, I dislike D1 because it's pretty random. The shitposting is kinda necessary (in my opinion at least) to enable things like psychoanalysis. I think the best I can do here D1 (or at least at this stage 16 hours into it) is exclude people who appear towny from the list of otherwise random candidates to lynch.

My thoughts so far, with scoring being 100=lock town, 0=lock mafia, 50=meh.

Loldebite is MIA yet again, hopefully shows before the end of first 24h or else time zone is no longer a great excuse.

Not much from Rene, Gikkle at this point. Not enough for a read on Guillo either. 50's

Paopan is a 50 and is 100% Paopan.

Lag is a wildcard, 50 for now. I always shake and tremble with fear when she is in the game.

Frinckles only shitposts so far, is this within his meta on D1? score 45, seems he should have offered something constructive by now, although he did join late. Speaking of joining late... make that score 35-40.

You, MM, agreeing with oliver on more than one point is scummy behavior, especially when there is not a strong rationale (and still no answer from oliver to my question) on one of them. Score=35.

SB16 made an interesting point about rogue CMAN amogus. Tone was OK so score of 60 for me.

oliver's posts did not make sense to me (or to Gikkle, who has since chimed in), but it's NAI because could be a newb (sorry, comrade) or different thought patterns than mine. It seems silly for scum to make comments that are likely to generate controversy (unless this scum is truly playing like a newb and slipped lol). score=50.

Voss has quality posts and good thoughts. Deep wolf with deep pockets is possible, ofc. Score=75 for now.

From now on, posts are to be in English (i.e. the language used in this post). While using English is not a rule by itself, it should be well-known that many players here likely are not fluent in the same language as others are fluent in except English. Therefore, it will be treated as an attempt to create a password-protected message.

Continuing to post completely in a non-English language will result in replacement at some point at my discretion.

If it happens to be a bad time and no one is able to replace into your slot within approximately 1.5 cycles (ex: current-night>day>night OR current-day>night>day), then your slot will be mod-killed and no one is responsible for that but you.

You don't know me, but that's okay. I like you because of it.

I liked Oliverz jumping straight into a meta read on Lag. I've talked with lag a bunch, but never played with him, so he's a scary "pro player" in my book. Oliverz seems to have some experience, and I'm glad they shared it, and would agree. Slightly trolling Lag is not my expectation here.

Also, it doesn't look like it, but my 1/3 congressperson idea came up independently. I missed critical things on the first read of the day and blame sleep deprivation. I townread oliverz though for the read on Lag, and not for saying 1/3 congresspeople are evil.

I also read more of your posts past this quote, and I think I will enjoy playing with you :)

1) You admitted to have never played with Lag, so you got no meta, no nothing.

Also games you've not been in, but other players in this game were in (or hosted) like the Anime World 2 game Guillo hosted and Gikkle was in where I spent most of the start of day 1 appraising slots based on how "chill" I deemed them to be, lol

Both Oliver and Lag voiced approval for claiming PRs though. Oliver first, then Lag. I don't know what to make of that. Can they be both town mindmelding? and wrongly so? Or could Lag be providing false positive support for Oliver?

I voiced support for it because I think it's optimal play.

For several reasons:

- Power roles should be claimed before we're close to LYLO, because otherwise we risk running into a scenario where 1 day to LYLO is actually LYLO because scum have vote manipulation power roles.
- None of the powers other than medic are actually pro-town, just pro-that-slot, so a mass-claim doesn't cause us to lose anything like a cop
- The power roles actually are alignment indicative, because the setup is hand-picked, we can infer information about the scum equity of slots based on what role scum flipped scum have

Notably, if it gets to be too late in the game before the claim, then we run into a scenario where scum power roles just claim vanilla and we don't have time to chop through all possible liars (kind of like red check claims in LYLO)

it's theoretically pro-town to cut it early and get into real debates ASAP, so yay, I guess.

I'm getting strange scum vibes from PQR this game. Something is off about his tone, he is usually very confident but he seems more confident than usual.

Would you describe a player that rated every player in the range of 35%-60% town as someone that is "more confident than usual"?

Voss being the one exception who is at 75%

Ok, welcome to the great chinese text-wall of Pao zedong. I wrote it after post #107. Its mainly based on thoughts i had while rereading.
first at all: happy birthday PQR! I suggest amnesty for today, i dont see him yet to be lynched d1. I dont see enough reasons for him to be lynched, i dont see any reasons at all. (yet).
mass claiming has yet to be fully thougth thru.
considering claims: guillo claimed medic.
IS ANYONE COUNTER-CLAIMING MEDIC???
to: lags#42. I never claimed rvs was over. Just my vote on you wasnt rvs.
btw: it looks like many, e.g. MM and lag, suffered under the influence of paopan. However there is a victim: frinckles. He left the path of rationality and fully dived into the parallel reality of baby shark, king shark, and soviet union pizzas.

Lag

I don't lag his focus on mechanical play specially the subject of claiming roles during Day 1.

My concern with my own scum lean on Lag is that I know he is a competent player and fishing for roles on day 1 is just newbie scum play, which he is not.

I really liked all your posts before that one. Lag focusing on mechanical play is very much in his meta, at least his town meta from the few games i've had/seen. I dont see you ignoring this either, so why would you not like it, still ?

Uh, no? Why in the world would you want the PRs to claim lol, they're just going to get gunned down.The medic only has one successful save charge. The setup was designed not to be solvable via massclaim (and to even punish it). So no, absolutely not.

1) What use are to town PRs that dont know how to use their powers for town's good, aka Attorney, Judge, Governor ? All these roles have powers that can hurt town REALLY BAD if misused, AND are extremely powerful for scum !
2) Please explain why/how the setup punishes massclaim. I see little to no downsides.

It would be pretty naive to use their abilities in that way, since it's more a matter of "when the massclaim happens" rather than "if the massclaim happens"

But again, I don't think it's necessary to do a massclaim day 1, day 2 massclaim is just as good, probably better

How do i multiquote here. Oliver claiming strat stinks.

I think the medic should claim.

I’m the medic.

This player is fucking based.


Let me expand on this a little bit.

Assuming an evil congressperson can figure out who the other congresspeople are through diction, post timing, etc, the scum team knowing who the other congresspeople are benefits scum. Scum would then just not kill or pressure these people, and up their chances of winning by killing non CCable PRs.

I'm not sure how this is information disadvantage, and i'd never advocate for something that I believe is anti-town.

Like, my other assumption here is that it's not advantageous for town to do a D1 mass role claim. This is because we don't want scum killing the better TPRs, and would rather wait a few days for TPRs to out and justify their night actions. Right?

I actually somehow completely missed the fact that the congress chat is anonymous. Your thoughts make a lot more sense to me now.

From now on, posts are to be in English (i.e. the language used in this post). While using English is not a rule by itself, it should be well-known that many players here likely are not fluent in the same language as others are fluent in except English. Therefore, it will be treated as an attempt to create a password-protected message.

Continuing to post completely in a non-English language will result in replacement at some point at my discretion.

If it happens to be a bad time and no one is able to replace into your slot within approximately 1.5 cycles (ex: current-night>day>night OR current-day>night>day), then your slot will be mod-killed and no one is responsible for that but you.

I struggle to comprehend what you were intending with this post, both because it's weirdly formatted and also because it's just very strange.

I'm gathering that you view PQ as null and are not comfortable with lynching them?

Discussing Guillo's medic claim at this point is anti-town and if he is NOT medic I actually would call the medic to not CC because I have Guillo as a lock townread right now.

I actually disagree with this feeling. PQ openly said in his "read list" earlier that he doesn't have anything serious. That... doesn't seem very confident to me.


"Interesting" is not a scum tell on its own per se but it is depending of the moment it is posted and how.

Saying something is interesting without saying why implies TMI.

The term "interesting" has been a meme on this site ever since a PR mislynched a citizen in one game because he said the word "interesting".

Is loldebite meta to bail when they rand scum or something? Cause otherwise, this sounds like a mischop set up if they are town. The best way to handle zero posters is to bug the mod privately for a replacement. Zero posters offer no info upon elimination, so unless they have a meta for bailing out upon randing wolf, we are not chopping a zero poster.

What is the purpose of that comment you made on Lag? You tremble in fear now? Why?

if MM is scum for agreeing with people why is Voss town lean for you?

All caps non-sense. Unless this is Frinckles D1 specifically. I remember Frinckles being thoughtful and mechanical in past games (forget the name of the game, but one we he and i and others won together when I was slightly fearful Frinckles made a big brain play as scum to appear super towny). So far in this game, Frinckles is Null and Void. Is that only because it's D1? I don't know, I can't memorize all players' metas by day.

I am not saying you usually are a boring machine-like person/player xD. Your tone did strike me as different when I first read your posts, though (even before I read oliver's), and you're not the epitome of townness as of right now, whereas you usually are pretty much that. I can't say I have a solid read on you, but I certainly have my eye on you. And to be honest, the only thing you can do to change my mind is to be towny, not to debate whether or not your tone feels different - plus, that's unproductive. I voiced my support to Oliver's suspicion on you earlier for three reasons:

- I agreed with him that there could be something fishy about you, so why not say it
- We mindmelded in our interpretation of your very early style, which is a point in favor of town!Oliver and gives more credibility to what honestly was just a hunch
- It was an extremely spicy stance to start the game with: a read with that kind of strenght and confidence on the very first page is relatively rare. Also, I don't get to attack you every D1 start, so I might as well take my chance when it comes xD.

I wanna see more from Oliverz. Don't quite see why both Lag and Voss are TRing him. Sure, he did a really early read that kicked off discussion, but it felt a bit forced to me considering it was only 12 posts in the game and based off a flimsy reason. It'd make more sense for T!oliverz, if he thought he understood what T!Lag would do, to wait a little while longer to actually be sure Lag wouldn't say anything about optimal mech play. Instead he attacked Lag immediately, making it so Lag could very easily wiggle out of it if the meta WERE in fact true, and then his future posts kind of drop the topic (only briefly mentioning it in his most recent post) and focus more on mech.

Whole thing feels strange and I'm not quite sure if Oliverz genuinely believed what he was saying (that Lag not immediately making a grand plan within the first 12 posts of the game is scummy for them, despite the fact Lag did not do this in the last game he played with them) or if he was doing it just to look like he was coming into the game swinging.

I also find the 2 people immediately TRing him (voss and lag) and the 1 person actually joining his push (mm) rather strange. Voss has a weird, semi robotic tone which pinged me early on, so out of those 3 I find him the weirdest.

Hard disagree with this, there are lots of AI interactions that occur during RVS.

Don't think there's anything AI about you saying this, but this is a disagreement in mafia philosophy, and I can't just not speak up about it!
Oh, I am an unconditional RVS lover. But when you can get straight to the part where people express reasonings and interact with eachother, it's probably even better.

and yes, let the debate beginnnn /s

Ok, welcome to the great chinese text-wall of Pao zedong. I wrote it after post #107. Its mainly based on thoughts i had while rereading.
first at all: happy birthday PQR! I suggest amnesty for today, i dont see him yet to be lynched d1. I dont see enough reasons for him to be lynched, i dont see any reasons at all. (yet).
mass claiming has yet to be fully thougth thru.
considering claims: guillo claimed medic.
IS ANYONE COUNTER-CLAIMING MEDIC???
to: lags#42. I never claimed rvs was over. Just my vote on you wasnt rvs.
btw: it looks like many, e.g. MM and lag, suffered under the influence of paopan. However there is a victim: frinckles. He left the path of rationality and fully dived into the parallel reality of baby shark, king shark, and soviet union pizzas.
completing this tmrw

Why in the world would we discuss the medic claim. It's WIFOM. Leave it be. I like that Stealth said pretty much that at some point in reaction to this post, too.

PQ is painting Frinckles as scummy for "arriving late". Speaking of that, it's inconsistent with his "fine for now" for Loldebite, strictly speaking, so the word painting seems appropriate enough. He's giving a free pass to Voss because "he has quality posts and good thoughts", which means... not much; plus, Voss hasn't said anything that stands out as towny, that's just his style. I suspect he's going with the "easy read on a complicated slot to push" strategy on Voss. And then, I'm scum for "agreeing with you on more than one point"... which is a little ridiculous. Guillo also brought up a good point about PQ townreading Voss, who also is into agreeing with what other people say, but scumreading me for the same reason.
I would say that's pretty rich for the first half of D1.

The last lines are signature-worthy xD.

I doubt he was genuine. If he's town, I find it more likely he intentionally exaggerated simply to kick off discussion. For him to be genuine he would have to have somehow convinced himself that Lag's town meta is to post a grand plan within their first three posts, despite the fact that this did not even happen in the one game he played with T!Lag.

I will let you answer this question yourself. Why do you ask that? What could your motive possibly be for asking this question outside of testing the waters for a lynch? If you are scum, Frinckles is clear.

So your vote is on me because I dislike that you agreed with oliver, whom I disagree with. Is that accurate? Any other reasons?
See my last post.

Well RIP. I just checked your recent posts hoping that xD doesn't appear.. but it does. So much for my attempt to detect a tell. So inconsistent with xD and XD, too, you bastard!
xD

I wanna see more from Oliverz. Don't quite see why both Lag and Voss are TRing him. Sure, he did a really early read that kicked off discussion, but it felt a bit forced to me considering it was only 12 posts in the game and based off a flimsy reason. It'd make more sense for T!oliverz, if he thought he understood what T!Lag would do, to wait a little while longer to actually be sure Lag wouldn't say anything about optimal mech play. Instead he attacked Lag immediately, making it so Lag could very easily wiggle out of it if the meta WERE in fact true, and then his future posts kind of drop the topic (only briefly mentioning it in his most recent post) and focus more on mech.

Whole thing feels strange and I'm not quite sure if Oliverz genuinely believed what he was saying (that Lag not immediately making a grand plan within the first 12 posts of the game is scummy for them, despite the fact Lag did not do this in the last game he played with them) or if he was doing it just to look like he was coming into the game swinging.

I also find the 2 people immediately TRing him (voss and lag) and the 1 person actually joining his push (mm) rather strange. Voss has a weird, semi robotic tone which pinged me early on, so out of those 3 I find him the weirdest.

There is a tone change in Lag. Pointing it out, starting the discussion strongly, making people take a stance about his read, all of this is towny and does not seem to be accidental. Oliver gets a townread from me for this; he's doing what a townie should do at gamestart, and I tend to start my town games in a similar manner whenever it's possible and I feel like getting into action quickly.

If you're trying to give Oliverz the benefit of the doubt and argue it's possible he wasn't being super literal/exaggerating a bit in his accusation, that's one thing, but arguing that's OBVIOUSLY what Oliverz was going for is a bit strange when there is always the possibility he's just straight up scum going for early aggression.

If Oliver was a brand new player who tends to be overly aggressive without thinking about the consequences of his posts, then you would be right.

I voiced support for it because I think it's optimal play.

For several reasons:

- Power roles should be claimed before we're close to LYLO, because otherwise we risk running into a scenario where 1 day to LYLO is actually LYLO because scum have vote manipulation power roles.
- None of the powers other than medic are actually pro-town, just pro-that-slot, so a mass-claim doesn't cause us to lose anything like a cop
- The power roles actually are alignment indicative, because the setup is hand-picked, we can infer information about the scum equity of slots based on what role scum flipped scum have

Notably, if it gets to be too late in the game before the claim, then we run into a scenario where scum power roles just claim vanilla and we don't have time to chop through all possible liars (kind of like red check claims in LYLO)

Lag, we just started the game, we are not close to LYLO so why bring up claiming now? hmm? To help scum figure out who the real important pro-town PRs are so they are hunted down? You know this, you are an exceptional player and I will judge you with higher standards than everyone else.

Today is my birthday btw, send me presents!
Okay! I won't vote you today


From now on, posts are to be in English (i.e. the language used in this post). While using English is not a rule by itself, it should be well-known that many players here likely are not fluent in the same language as others are fluent in except English. Therefore, it will be treated as an attempt to create a password-protected message.
Chill. Chill. I already hired a translator. I can now speak proper English! The Anglo-Saxons would be so proud of me. But yeah... minus scredits for me.



OH also, if paopan has a vote tomorrow, judge is dead.
Are you soft-claiming judge?


This list prompted me to go and read Paopan's posts and wow what a meme.
I've seen Paopan play in several games now and this lack-of-content posting feels very reminiscent to the Murder in the Mid-Atlantic game I hosted where he was wolf. Just noise with no content.

I think it's too early to tell, honestly. His posts so far I think could come from both T!Paopan and S!Paopan. In 333 (scum) and 334 (town), early on, he was pretty unhelpful in both games.
Both of you are actually very rude that I almost want to OMGUS. I actually felt I had an awesome opening on the RVS stage.


Yah I'm the medic, live with it.

I'm the best killer you will ever meet, night vigilante or day vigilante? Guillotina got you. But medic? I always end up protecting scum, trust me, you are better off not having me protecting anyone.
Sorry. But I'm counterclaiming this. I'm the real medic.

Voss is known for his low activity, high content style. Or well, he was known when he actually played, this is his first game in a while actually. I don't think this is a frozen wolf, just standard Voss who has a life. That doesn't make him town, though, just not scum for that specific reason.

Or he is just waiting it out.

So in other words, I'm either wrong or scum because of a mindmeld and an assumption favoring logic over pointless and weird play? You know what... I'm gonna put my veto on this lol.

No, I think you could be right and be town, but you trying to put words in Oliverz mouth (#169, #179) was very strange. #179 was also strange with the comments that it was "obvious he was not literal" because it "would not make sense", and later when I asked about whether that was dismissing the possibility of S!Oliverz doing it for scummy reasoning, you brought up an extreme scenario (#194, your point about Oliverz having to be a lunatic if he thought he could get Lag lynched from the beginning of the day. Not sure if this is just because you misinterpreted what I was saying? You never responded to me correcting you about what I meant by "early aggression") to dismiss my whole point about the possible justification S!Oliverz may have had where it would make sense for them to make a literal post like that so early on.

Your prior explanation for why Oliverz was town ( #168 ) didn't make much sense either. Here is what you said:

"There is a tone change in Lag. Pointing it out, starting the discussion strongly, making people take a stance about his read, all of this is towny and does not seem to be accidental. Oliver gets a townread from me for this; he's doing what a townie should do at gamestart, and I tend to start my town games in a similar manner whenever it's possible and I feel like getting into action quickly. "

This does not match up with what Oliverz has actually done.

"Pointing (Lag's alleged change in tone) out" - This is Marshmallow putting words in Oliverz mouth, which is what we talked about afterwards and which he acknowledges as a possibility in #179. The only thing Oliverz did publicly say was that Lag wasn't doing a full mechanical plan and "being smart town" like they were last game. Oliverz did not point out any kind of change in tone or anything like that.
"Starting the discussion strongly" - Strongly worded, sure. I wouldn't call it "starting the discussion strongly" though, as it wasn't strong in it's structure, considering he doesn't talk about it all after that and the explanation is pretty lackluster.
"Making people take a stance about his read" - Never happened.

This is just a very strange read altogether and seems a lot like you're trying to justify something you don't really believe in. Maybe I'm wrong? It's just weird on the surface and your answers so far have only raised more questions.

Sorry if this doesn't make much sense or is jumbled, I'm a bit tired.

No no. I voted for you because you literally scum read almost everyone here.
On the other hand, I was just trying to get to know you better cos I am familiar with everyone here except you.

Stealth, in case you didnt see what hit you.

1) I may or may not have fake claim medic to provide cover for the real medic.
2) NotPao may or may not have CCed me to provide cover for the real medic or for me. Because i dont believe he'd CC me if he was the real medic nor he'd CC me if he was scum and trade 1 for 1 for me. So he is just town.
3) You saw an opportunity to shade me and try to pocket Pao and went for it and got caught.

My work is done! Solved the game on day 1 like always.

Aight, time to focus on this game. I got mislynched in the past hour on another website.

Here's an overview. We are still at the RVS stage. I don't get why some people hated this, this is literally like, one of the best stages in FM. Now, let's talk about two things. Setup and players

Setup:
I don't think everyone should reveal their roles.
I mean... Oliver suggested everyone reveal except the medic and voter. Like, seriously?
Assuming everyone here didn't take gaokao. I am still expecting everyone here to know how to add and subtract.
As for the Medic,

Marshmallow Marshall - MM pocketed me and is successful. MM is a low-lying bastard if scum.
Lag - Lag can both be beneficial or disastrous to town.
Gikkle - Unlike before, I'm now familiar with Gikkle. I tunnelled the guy for the first 3 days and he flips town. I like his recent post, so yeah.
Loldebite - Yeet this, seriously. No explanation needed!!! :laugh::laugh:
PQRnHack - Not provoking/starting a train on me?? seems new. He did it as scum before. So positive review for this guy atm.
oliverz144 - Attacking Lag straight out for meta reasons. I'm not familiar. First impression might be a bus with Lag.
Freckles - Goddamn Shark. Confirmed town!
Voss - buddying with oliver, skipping RVS, straight up IIoA post. I hate it. If Guillo wasn't active, I'll 100% vote for Voss.
Guillo - Scum reading half the pop. Still testing the waters on this guy.
Renegade - Renren is beloved Mayor in which I was last game, so I fully knew how big the responsibility of Mayor. I'm a medic and I'll protect you renren
Stealthbomber16 - Seeing no excessive AtE (if town) atm. Feels good, but also wary.

Now noobs, inspect and scumread my read list.

In case people did not know:

There are links with the words "ISO" to the left of the player names in the player list of the first post (OP) of the thread. I made them so its easy for everyone. It also includes my own ISO at the top of the list.

Setups like these can involve a lot of bussing.

oliver + lag is a possibility
pq + voss is a possibility
pq + lag is a poss

nevermind. so many variations atm.
I'll stop counting the chickens before they hatch.

I mean, we all know there are only three scum so IF all scum were in that list, im wrong about two of them, now tell me, why do you associate suspecting several players with being scum? I'm uninformed, wouldnt be more suspicious if i was townreading half the playerlist on day 1?

I… what?

1. Yeah, I recognized that and called someone out for commenting on it
2. You don’t think he’d CC you if he were real medic? Why not?
3. Lol ok

I’m just confused, more than anything. Like you just broke the entire theoretical smokescreen by making this play and you didn’t even get anything out of it.

I’m pretty sure you genuinely got counterclaimed and are trying to dig your way out of the hole because I called you out for a weak response…

This is the post that really breaks the illusion, by the way.


NotPaoPan are you a new player to mafia?

This shows me that you aren’t confident in this gambit. All that you just did was potentially out the medic. I fail to see how what you’re doing is pro-town.
