Elements Mafia 61 - by Linkcat

[DoubleCapitals]

He's roleplaying an idiot.

[Espithel]

Oh hey, my posting restriction got lifted. Yay!
Seeing my role's disabled now and I actually have to work with you mangy curs, I guess I'll just go full honesty.
I was a Jester. I would've been modkilled if I suggested this for what should be obvious reasons.

Linkcat described this in the PM I received that I got "rekt", implying that was the ability name.
And whilst this is conjecture, I would say that lines up with whoever has the persona of Solaris.

The Solaris hating, I was going to ramp up to retarded extremes combined with tons of spam and breadposting on day 2 which would've led to my lynch, so I'll drop it.

Any other questions you'd like to ask? I'm not even going to attempt to roleplay anyh00; I simply don't know enough about the character.

Also, Sub, that impression is so two weeks ago. Despite being an extremely memetic person, I disapprove of memes.
A for effort, though.

Speaking of Sub:

Apparently Jester is a thing in this setup. I'm having a hard time to tell if it suits my role or not.

I would've been modkilled if I suggested I was a Jester; I see no reason why you wouldn't be.
That's a pretty big dent in that claim, Espithachine.
Also, it 100% suits me, and you should know it. :D:D

THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE

On a sidenote, I'm kinda.... I don't know. Wary of people claiming early. Is that a good thing at this point? Remember we're feeding everyone, including the mafia, this information.

Whilst it's highly dependant on circumstance, information benefits the town more than mafia. Obviously, you shouldn't claim in the open if you're an investigative role, but if your role is otherwise completely useless, like paranoiac/dead nullified jester, sure, go for it. The more information the town has, the faster it can get to lynching mafia. The main benefit of info is the reaction to info, which allows us to see what we're all doing.

Postscript: Whilst complaining about arbitrary posting restrictions, something I'm sure JCJ can confirm I love doing, Linkcat said he did it simply because it amuses him. Given all the other shenanigans that have just happened, I think we're going to see quite a humour-oriented setup. Be cautious.

[Espithel]

TL;DR:

I was jester
Sub is scummy
Solaris (The role) leans scummy unless it's compulsive which it might be

Information definitely benefits town. Investigative roles should be sure to leave clues that you can uncover later regarding that investigation. Or, as some around here do it, dangerously openly out your investigation results and information immediately.

Caution: if all or too many non-investigative/protective/high-power roles claim then I see it making mafia's job easier in regard to sniping power roles out of the civilian player pool with NK's. That is, if we are letters of the alphabet then mafia knowing that A through S are open claimed non-investigative roles allows NK to snipe from the pool of T through Z instead of the lower-odds pool of A through Z.

Don't forget, No Lynch is a terrible no-good very bad idea.

TL;DR:
1. If you can investigate, don't be lazy and DO investigate your butt off so you can be informative to town for scumhunting.
2. Overly zealous non-investigative claiming can be bad in the way it limits the size of the pool mafia have to scour for good NK targets.
3. Vote on a lynch today, Day 1.

[skyironsword]

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this yet, but Sera is still definitely not mafia.

If you haven't been convinced yet, just take a gander at Linkcat's chiseled abs.

[CleanOnion]

No lynch is bad lynch? Alright.

That's what you get for trying to persuade us not to give information.

Linkcat's flabby, acne-ridden stomach makes me sick to the point that I'm certain that Sera is mafia.

[Espithel]

Voting is one of the most powerful ways to give the town info.

Link is having trouble coming up with  roles 

Maybe he realised we can't all be Linkcat.

Silly JCJ -- we know that Lc knows there will never be another Linkcat.

Based on the fun I had and my decent performance in Root's mafia (59) which was restricted to the forum thread only, and my relatively poor-er performance in other mafias I did here where I chatted and PM'd about the game, I am taking a vow this game to communicate only in the thread about the game.

If you chat PM me I will stay neutral and give responses pointing to this disclaimer. Feel free to post here if you have convincing arguments as to why I would benefit from talking outside this thread (in the past I always ended up in-bed with mafia and hurting town - just read some of my mafias prior to 59).

A Night 0 where we can talk?

I've been looking forward to this mafia game like I would a Root-fia.

*quote above was modified some for clarity of intent and ease of reading*

*snip*

I can understand the feeling of somehow missing out-of-thread information in the previous mafia, but I am wondering about the statement that you would not communicate in a host-provided pad as mafia. Wouldn't that make it even harder to plan things out?

Hmmm? What pad are you talking about Sera? I suppose a host-provided pad would be an obvious exception...

Anyway, I think it bears stating outright here that town roles need to be used often and wisely.   Breadcrumbs are something else I recommend we all consider wherever you see a need/advantage in it.

I love you guys all so much, let's all be friends and not lynch or kill anyone. 

Let's just get this out now - no lynch angles like this always favor mafia and hinder town. But I'm tired of losing this argument every single mafia. Either my reasoning that "no-lynch is bad" is wrong, or everyone else is wrong. Either way I'm obviously not winning this argument any time soon.

Hey, Sera, what does your role do?

Hey, Kuro, what's the name of your role?

Hey, Sub, what phase do you think I'll die in?

you know what fuk it, since youre probably mafia anyway and i'm going to die, i might as well say it.

skyironsword is mafia - both the person who has her role and she as a player.

i'm CR. So much for breadcrumbing my initials in my previous post, but that being said, I know that I'm not lying by stating that my role -literally- does nothing. I would quote my PM but obviously I cant do that because rules, although TECHNICALLY it doesnt matter if i die, and mafia will probably get rekt if I died anyway, so yeah. There's that. If I type in nothing, maybe people will understand, but modkills are bad. At least RR isn't hosting

Sera, I'm not explaining myself to you 'cause you're not trustworthy after what you pulled 4 mafias ago. Just sayin'.

I have cramps in my neck from straining to figure out who else this would be roleplaying... if not CR.

I suppose it makes sense in a circular reasoning sort of way to claim your role as that player would likely do it themselves? Much WIFOM. Such CR. Very Kuro.

[RQS response coming soon too - fun on N0 weeee!]
{reads list would be mostly junk from me at this point...]

*let's, um, just pretend my previous post didn't happen - it was only rule-requirements anyways right?

random scumhunting here we go. 



RQS for anyone interested:


1 - what roles do you think Link may have put into this game?
2 - What do you think could be the strongest role in this game?
3 - Who do you consider your friend that is playing in this game? will you pile votes on them if they are subject to lynching?
4 - I'm in the mood for a bowl of soup, what flavour do you recommend?
5  - unknown mystery question, what is your response?
6 - If we assume that no person has gotten themself for a role, Any current reads on those who have been actively posting so far? (just forum member name for role, no possible actions of roles yet)


not sure how to do this, but I felt like asking one 

1. I think he would try to balance all the roles as much as possible and include neat or clever ways of reflecting a player's history/tendencies as mafia roles.

2. could be? well, I'm not sure what all roles are in this mafia but Lc has stated that none modify voting totals/voting power outright, so I guess it has to be something not related to that... IF a Linkcat role is in the game then I suspect it might the strongest.

3. there are no friends on N0 of a closed mafia game. I will vote in a manner that I believe most benefits town.

4. new england clam chowder (the red if you were wondering "is that the red or the white?") is the flavor of soup I recommend.

5. 42

6. by rule nobody can have themselves as a role. would you rephrase or adjust #6 based on this being the case?

It's a vote of moral confidence.

A vouch from sky is condemning, indeed.

[Sera]

Basing a vote out of your opinion of a person that was not even proven scum, or even read as scum, is highly questionable. Any real reason why you would vote me?

If this was also based on what Kuro said earlier in the day, remember that it was just a CR roleplay.
If it was not, I have 11 questions to ask you, Kuro.
