CAPITALIST SCUM TEAM
Really classical mafia team : A godfather, a consigliere and a consort. Heat actions do not seem overpowered at all (they'll basically use it to kill a revealed Trostky or Putin, which is the way to go.) They're tailored to fight Castro but in this game he's not present so they are a bit on the weaker side I'd say? Since the role that gets sent out cannot do his night action, the mafia has several ways to play this one in my eyes :
1. Utilize JFK HEAT right away to have 2 kills night two. Seems like the strongest plan, but it also means that either consig or godfather will have to attack. If the consig have to attack, he will not be able to gather info, and if the godfather attack he will not be able to HEAT to recruit rumox. The strongest plan here would then be JFK HEAT, Truman HEAT, Nixon kill. This leave the mafia team without consig info but also allows a sure kill on rumox without it being revealed, while also having the possibility to have 2 kills the night after, but without the HEAT roleblock from Truman.
2. Utilize JFK HEAT right away to gain two kills night two, but also send the consigliere to gather info to make a better decision on night two. It will then send the godfather to kill, and they would use their HEAT the second night to allow for 2 unblockable kills for their faction. In this situation, rumox won't be converted at day 2.
3. Don't utilize JFK HEAT right away and send him to kill. This is what I expect a bad mafia team would do, as it leaves the godfather doing nothing (or HEAT?) without having 2 kills the night after.
With JFK HEAT and a bit of luck for the mafia, the town is at LyLo at day 3 (2 town death n1, 3 town death n2 making it 3mafia vs 3 town vs 1 sk). I'm not even sure it's considered LyLo as it's extremely brutal.
I've pointed out that the mafia would hit rumox with a HEAT action to assure the convert to them, but they would obviously prefer killing Trostky or Lenin, or a Goulag Officier (which we don't know if we have): because getting rid of these roles asap is better than to make town lose a lynch on him. But if myself was from the mafia, I would advocate doing plan #2 because I don't think Rumox claim is legit. If it is, it's all in the interest of mafia to learn of the truth and not waste a lynch on a citizen.
We're at day 1, so group agenda for the mafia isn't already established, but I can clearly see individual agenda to find TPR in sneaky ways being done the first day. As we're going to put pressure to find evils, they would utilize this pressure to gain info by day.
It is also worth noting out that consort will NOT claim escort due to the low possibility of that occurring and risks of being counterclaimed. We should lynch every escort claim by day 3. Instead, I think the consort would claim roleblocked on himself to be put by people as town; or at least not-scum. < Look into that people.
But if I read the setup correctly, we are not defenseless against their line of play : Trotsky can use his role to see every mafia action. I assume this is not seeing the targets too because that would be grossly overpowered, but it will allow town to know what was going on by night 1. I suggest against Trotsky to claim what he has seen however, as he would eat a HEAT bullet the night after. And we surely need this powerful role.
THE PROLETARIAT TOWN TEAM
Our defined roles are extremely powerful, be it Trotsky or Lenin. They would definitely hide behind a citizen claim or avoid claiming altogether to avoid being outed. As such, we should take caution about using the FoS on everyone as, at some point we will out one of them. And we don't want to do that by day 1.
Trotsky would surely use his night action to see mafia's ones to know when the HEAT has been used, and NOT use the gun carelessly as if he shoot even 1 town, it's lost for everyone.
Lenin would use his heat the second day, after gathering a list of good reads, because passing down his healing power to town is IMPORTANT for us if we want to be able to withstand 2 attacks per night. However, I would understand him using his heat the first day, as if he dies N1 his power would be wasted either way. But this is also very dangerous as I believe Lenin night chat is NOT anonymous so if Lenin choose a mafia right away he'll be able to tell his team and we would lose our doc first night, a thing we should avoid at all costs. I don't think the other TPR roles are relevant because proper use of these 2 will make the game for town without anyone else doing much but scumhunting. The strategy for town would be really role-based; and not worth to out every potential thinking here as it would hurt some komrad in an impactful way. Standard FM playing will be sufficient to win easily.
Talking about scumhunting, SCUMHUNTING WILL BE ESSENTIAL FOR TOWN TO NOT LOSE : We're going at mylo day 3 without us doing anything wrong (let's say skipping day 1 and lynching JFK day 2). So every town not scumhunting will fall into the scumdetector and be questioned, tortured and whipped. Passive playing as town, even if you're Trotsky is discouraged because it'll just make us loose.
MY CURRENT VIEW ON THE STATE OF THE GAME
We're good, nobody has died yet, Distorted is not here so he will not be the #1 voted for the majority of the first day and his alt seems extremely towny. The game progress in a way I'm happy with, and the FoS is being dropped around without heavy tunneling. Some actions were scummy, some players were scummy, but that's basically what mid-day 1 reads stops.
Magoroth and Blinkskater are scumhunting and does so while exchanging ideas and opinions, which is a sign of good town players early in the game. They fall into the town read category.
Unknown feels towny too, easy going and helpful but not doing much except being pleasant to be with. Potential scum hiding here tho.
Interaction between MM and me feels intriguing (he's basically assuring a lynch on me if he flips maf because of our interactions) and his going out on a newb is hazardous at best but I don't feel like he's important this game. Not talking about meta, he seems a little bit too much on the spotlight and defended himself very hard, while I feel he would be dismissive if he was real scum as to not escalate this further. He's a null read with a huge potential town lean for me.
naz is a null read at the moment, but she seems to agree on my view of rumox, interactions will reveal a lot on this spot.
aamirus spot, slight scummy read because he seems to claim he's found a caught mafia in MM; which feels like a forced mislynch at this point.>
rumox feels scummy to be by a good margin, not only because he claimed sleeper agent (a powerful role I said multiple time SHOULD REMAIN HIDDEN) that can turn on us, but because his interactions feels like he's trying to sway town opinion to his own, which is not helpful at this state of the game. Also he tried to turn a vote brigade against MM to avoid his own?
