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.

Re: S-FM 336: (Ladder) Politico II
Renegade just changed his profile picture, this is obviously extremely alignment indicative.
I'm not going to say if it's town indicative or mafia indicative, because it's so obvious that it should go without saying, but everyone knows what Renegade is now.

My contribution today will likely be spotty at best but I'll try to make all of my posts (following this one) quality posts at the very least.

Re: S-FM 336: (Ladder) Politico II
I'm gonna go out on a limb and hypothesize that there are 3 corruptors here, thinking 2 PRs and 1 Congman/Voter (Cong kinda makes more sense for a scum 3rd wo/man). Town then has 3 PRs.

I meta know lag as well as my pocket
This 3 posts completely contradict the usual neutral-smart town game play
This is not rvs
Town lag would already come up with a plan
Now i need to jump in, gimme some time.
We have 2-3 scum
1 of them is lag.

Re: S-FM 336: (Ladder) Politico II
I think that claiming who is congressman is very towny
Only scum will say no
So i think that every congressman should claim immediately

Re: S-FM 336: (Ladder) Politico II
Sa, judge, governor should claim aswell
Only medic and voter shouldnt claim

It's funny that you think the posts I've made thus far have been alignment indicative.
I also don't think oliver is able to pull off a post like this as wolf, I think this is the fastest >>rand town read I've ever had
-
Re: S-FM 336: (Ladder) Politico II
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.
Gotta say I like oliverz here on the Lag meta read.

Re: S-FM 336: (Ladder) Politico II
Oh, ren is actually the mayor. Missed that with the trolling.
Governor, states attorney, and judge aren’t really worth commenting right now bc they haven’t had time to do an action.
This is something I'd like to discuss though:
I don’t see why congresspeople should ever talk in the day/night chat. Scum will only use it to figure out who not to kill.

Re: S-FM 336: (Ladder) Politico II
It is I, the town leader of this town.
You can call me Mr. Chairman

It is sheer fantasy to imagine that the cause of socialism is all plain sailing and easy success, without difficulties and setbacks or the exertion of tremendous efforts.

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)?

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.

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 -vote Lag

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 almost want to say that you're towny by meta for this, considering your last game as Mayor in Once Upon a Town in the West. But seriously, please drop it. I was scum, and I can say you were a blessing for us because you distracted everyone. Please integrate thoughtful content in your posts. Else, you will be deemed lazy and antipatriotic, and will thus be sent to the nearest gulag. Thank you.

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.

Re: S-FM 336: (Ladder) Politico II

Re: S-FM 336: (Ladder) Politico II
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

No, we just kinda skipped RVS thanks to Oliver :P. It's a D1 read, but it is based on something reasonable. So stating how I position myself towards Oliver's read is perfectly legitimate.
Hi guillo. That's a nice statement you have here. Why is Lag scum in your opinion?

Re: S-FM 336: (Ladder) Politico II
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

Hi guillo. That's a nice statement you have here. Why is Lag scum in your opinion?
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?

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 :)

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.
