2.) We also need to hold off on using roleblocking/kill roles.
I agree with everything except this part. Last game, mafia had a psion. If mafia has another role revealing ability, potentially blocking them will slow mafia down a bunch. Late game we can get strategical with it.
One thing that i would add is dont try to subliminally role reveal. Its what got GN killed last game. So dont put an element mark in a post or something like that.

Can the nymph not be nightkill-protected at all, or only during nights that ability is activated?The nymph cannot be nightkill-protected at all.
2.) We also need to hold off on using roleblocking/kill roles. This refers to Warden, Toadfish, Otyugh, Mind Flayer, Arctic Squid, Ghost of the Past. If we use these roles on random targets, it's likely that an important role (Golden Nymph, or even GA/Psion/Dragonfly) will be blocked, or a civilian with an important role will be killed. We had civilians roleblocking civilians last game and it was a nightmare. Yes, it's possible that a mafia with psion or roleblocking could be blocked, but even more likely we block one of own civs. If you have good reason to be suspicious of someone, then yeah you can roleblock them (although I almost always disagree with renegade kill roles being used unless it's a last ditch effort to win), but otherwise I wouldn't use them.
Thoughts? Agree/disagree?
Mostly agree with root but Ghost of the past drawback is minor and could help identify people who cant be targeted that phase and iridium warden also gains some info with each use. Might be worth using those. Killing people willy nilly is of course sth thats reservered to mafia and early lynches while one time use kills should only be used when you are fairly sure it gets the right person.
About queen reporting I dont know either. Not 100% sure i fully understand it either, but we got the promise it will be clarified.
lol, I just thought it's the same number of mafia as last game. Only now saw that there's 4 of them.
And please don't roleblock random people...
I have an idea. We're still going to lynch whoever we want to, but we should have a bunch of random votes as well (and not just 1-offs). The Golden Nymph would vote on who they discovered to be mafia and pretty much leave it at that without trying to push for the lynch.
Then, when the Golden Nymph finally gets nightkilled, we would know a few of the mafia.
Of course, this needs to be done carefully to avoid detection.
In case you are subtly trying to incriminate me as the only message sender, I was giving shock deckadvice completely unrelated to this game. He can probably vouch for that.
There's staff work, there's PvP, there's soon to be Brawl, there's random chitchat a là kaempfer and shock... continuously monitoring Who's Online won't help us a single bit. Not like banning it would be possible by any means, anyway.

Worst case, GN ends up not finding mafia and voting on randoms, which would be no better than what we'd have anyways.

Gotp is an extremely conditional permanent roleblock. It does get pretty bad if it triggers early on the wrong person, but you either use it basically never, or once you have used reaim it constantly to get as much info as possible (unless you somehow know the current target is a good one, but in that case why dont you just lynch them? Especially with all Info you can get as towny who is not using secondary. It's kinda a shitty ability for a towny to have, it's either mostly worse psion as untargetabilityidentifier or just plain dead. I do wonder now tho if a towny ghost should actually use its ability now. 90% of the time itll just do nothing and it hitting a towny at time of death is not much less likely than identifying untargetability once or more, even with my suggested strategy. But either go ham with the targeting and pray it doesn't backfire or don't use it until you somehow found a mafia and yet we refuse to lynch them even though everything a passive towny gotp would know is public knowledge?2.)

GotP can potentially fuck up everything. I don't think it's that good of an idea to use it early. Warden on the other hand can gather quite a bit of information I guess. So I think it might be worth blocking a random role.
I am wondering how useful Nymphs are. Green and Amber seem to good to cast onto oneself especially if Warden/Squid are mafia. Turquoise/Anubis doesn't look powerful at all. I don't see the benefit of an Immortal army for town. Does mafia benefit? Should we not use it at all? If we find that there are a couple protected people we can assume they are mafia.
Rule question: Do people with Adrenaline know they are frozen? Does the ability fail?
Is there any sensible way to get publicly confirmed civ? If no does this mean Crusader has to use its ability on a wing and prayer?
My scum read is iancu. He is trying to trick us there are only three mafia.
I am also against using the who function. Although I did follow the link just now. ~~

With PMs banned, the game gets a lot harder. We have a Golden Nymph still and hopefully it won't die early on, although it being EoR makes things difficult. It helps to have roles like GA/Graboid/Seraph/Phoenix since we can potentially dodge some of the night kills while the GN builds up information.
Things got a bit messy last game with a lot of the civs playing in the best interests of mafia, so I have a few guidelines in mind to be discussed.
1.) We need to hold off on revealing secondary roles. Some of the roles are pretty weak in the hands of civs, but when these roles are revealed to mafia, it narrows down the number of people who could be a power role. Last game, mafia knew half the civilian roles very early in the game, so it wasn't really a surprise they were able to kill our Golden Nymph and Vulture before they could do anything useful. The game got harder with the removal of PMs, so it's all the more important to play correctly. No revealing roles unless there's good reason for it.
2.) We also need to hold off on using roleblocking/kill roles. This refers to Warden, Toadfish, Otyugh, Mind Flayer, Arctic Squid, Ghost of the Past. If we use these roles on random targets, it's likely that an important role (Golden Nymph, or even GA/Psion/Dragonfly) will be blocked, or a civilian with an important role will be killed. We had civilians roleblocking civilians last game and it was a nightmare.

Thoughts? Agree/disagree?
Agree with Root. It is very important to have the Golden Nymph trigger, and the less roleblocking we use, the safer it is.
On another note, we should be primarely talking during the Day Phase, as by then we are the first to get value from that information. If something is revealed at Night, mafia might gain momentum.
Dwaddy Swubmwachine?
Should we report catching a firefly to the group or not? I feel like we should, but there might be unintended consequences that I may not be aware of.
Also, while we're at it. There's this corner of the forum called http://elementscommunity.org/forum/who.
It lets you see what people are looking at, or even what they're posting in:
(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/413864880496443394/580497899587239968/unknown.png)
I would like to ask that, in the name of sportsmanship, we don't use this. It's been used in previous mafias in the past and I've always hated it, as it's obscure and, in my opinion, against the spirit of the game. I'm telling you all about it just to make absolutely sure you're all aware of this.
If the group's fine with it, you can absolutely bet your anuses that I'm going to be mashing F5 on it, seeing what we can get. I'd encourage everyone else to do the same - no message-sending is safe. We'd find all the messaging roles (including who sends the nightkill) by the first night.
There's probably a way to turn it off:
(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/413864880496443394/580497645387251756/unknown.png)
But I don't know how. We should probably figure that out.
If it was me with total power, I'd have Dwaddy Swubmwachine (owo) modkill any proven instances, but that's tricky to moderate as he'd have to mash F5. I think Dwaddy Swubmwachine (owo) has better things to do with his time.
Discuss.
You can't turn it off, it appears like that because he's viewing a secret section.
Also, I don't think anyone used that.

I asked that, too. Didn't I.
I'm stupid.
GotP definitely could be useful to town under certain circumstances, but I'll still say save it until we have a reason to use it rather than popping it immediately. Same with Anubis.

I'm fine with this. What order should we lynch?
The only role-blocking ability I see an upside to is Warden. It blocks and informational role, but prevents mafia from finding out that they're potentially an investigative role. It also just protects anyone it targets. Good for town because of the protection, good against mafia for role blockage. Other than that, I agree with Root.
Scum reads are dangerous to out this early in the game, but I would be wary of anyone who is rooting for something under the guise of it being good for town.
If it was me with total power, I'd have Dwaddy Swubmwachine (owo) modkill any proven instances, but that's tricky to moderate as he'd have to mash F5. I think Dwaddy Swubmwachine (owo) has better things to do with his time.I allow using /who, because it is an unreliable source of information, but please do not post screenshots of the /who page. You can describe your findings with words, but posting screenshots is against the spirit of Mafia.
Rule question: Do people with Adrenaline know they are frozen? Does the ability fail?If a player becomes Frozen, the player is notified even if he has Adrenaline. The ability does not fail, the player will have both the Frozen and the Adrenaline statuses.
2.) We also need to hold off on using roleblocking/kill roles.

The way you worded your post implies that you are scumreading someone who is "rooting for something under the guise of it being good for town," but you don't want to name them directly. In my view, the only people it makes sense for you to be throwing shade at are me or (looking back through the thread) MW, since we're the only ones who disagreed with you and everyone else. If not me, then who were you throwing shade at? If you say nobody, then your post doesn't make sense.
So basically 2 coordinated ffqs can prevent their fireflies from ever being detected? Or does only the Initial deployment of the firefly count as activation?If two Firefly Queens target the same player with Queen, the fireflies will report Queen to their own Firefly Queens, which would otherwise not happen. Surely that would also count as being detected.
Yh but they never ever go away and report every nightI missed to clarify that. The fireflies only visit their targets for one night, then they either return to the queen or get caught.
Generate a firefly that follows target player. The fireflies will report back to you each Night with all abilities that they saw activated
Iancu is correct, the role clearly shows that the firefly is permanent until it's caught.Sorry for the confusion then. The sent fireflies are permanent until caught.
I disagree.I agree

Back on the game for a bit, should I say who I targeted?That completely depends on your ability, which only you know. I'd say keep your cards close to your chest, but it's all up to you really. Only you would know if that info helps us or not.

Night ending earlier would crash the schedule which would cause chaos. Nobody loves chaos. Gravity is king.
I agree with Ginyu. I don't want to have to have people delay their ability use until the last moment just to keep the schedule.I also agree with this, so even though the Night would end earlier, the Day phase would still end on the same hour, making the Day phase as longer as the Night phase was shorter. This would be most effective on later Nights though, with much less players alive.

Oh this is super sketchy. Espi had options here.
He continues to use it without telling anyone. Thats real Mafia spirit. He uses a tool to his advantage until told otherwise.
The only thing this tool can do to rise suspicion is tell you if someone is sending a PM. So this doesnt role reveal meaning the only person this tool is harmful to is Mafia. The only people who wouldn't want this tool used is Mafia. So Espi asking in public is super weird. He couldve asked sub in private just as easy. But it sounds like he wants to tool banned. His excuse? The spirit of Mafia.
Damn good excuse tbh. HOWEVER, asking about its legality in public is still really weird. It doesnt sit right with me. Espi doesnt sit right with me overall tbh. Lemme break it down into pros and cons.

You've already told the entire group, including the mafia, you have a role that targets. That's already pretty brazen of you.
That's really the bit the mafia care about when they decide who to kill - the role itself. The roles they hate the most all target, so you've basically just asked to be nightkilled at some point. Same goes for you too, Walks.

then theres espithels breakdown on how mafia is more likely to be protected, so chances are ian will either uncover the nightkill target or a mafia member with room for uncertainty ofc.

Not sure about any of this. If he was mafia, and wanted to use the tool to his advantage, wouldn't it have been the safer play to not post publicly, in order to not remind people/let people know that it exists? Or even just bring it directly to Sub? I don't see how mafia gains anything from such an elaborate metagaming gambit.
Also - sending a PM doesn't really role reveal at all, since many roles PM, and most of the people in this game have other forum responsibilities. I think reading into this too much at all is unproductive. Maybe even a diversion.QuotePros if we lynch

I want to reiterate the last part of this - MW also stated he used an ability. In my opinion, this is detrimental to town - we agreed not to use (most) offensive and defensive roles, so this narrows down your potential abilities, a piece of information that helps the mafia more right now. And furthermore, unlike iancu's statement, which we could potentially get information from immediately if we chose, there's no such potential benefit for town from MW's statement.
(aside: I don't think iancu should reveal specifics right away - it's just worth noting that does create a plan we could pursue if we desired)
Here is the thing tho. You got me trapped.
If i say i targeted you, then mafia is instantly going to assume the worst and conclude i am GN.
If i say i targeted ANYONE else other than you, then i get lynched because people will believe I am scumming you.
I will not reveal my target and i suggest ian does not either.
I think you know you got me trapped. I think you want me to reveal target so I get lynched or i get NK'd. There is not a single person i can say i targeted that will not get me killed.
Honestly, well played.
Your argument's essentially that Scum!MW is trying to bus Scum!Espithel so that if one falls, the other one looks innocent.
You then want to lynch one of us to gain more information. You then decide to lynch me because you hate fun.
I'd like to poke you with two things, though.Oh this is super sketchy. Espi had options here.

This analysis really does nothing - it's just 'lynching mafia good, lynching town bad', which is self-explanatory. It feels like it's forcing a conclusion.
What you have just posted is a lot less concise version of how I feel about MW's post. When I first saw it, I was really confused on how to tackle it because it was just so wrong, on so many fronts, as you've pointed out.
I thought there was a hidden agenda, honestly. However, as poorly made an argument it is, it was contributing to a conversation and I didn't want to discourage MW from further discussion by absolutely tearing into it. It doesn't matter what we're talking about, as long as we keep conversing.
So, instead of responding, I decided to brush it aside instead:Pros to Lynching InsignificantWeeaboo:vore me daddy
Mafia Kill
No more Vore
Cons to Lynching InsignificantWeeaboo:
Possible civ kill, although I doubt it.
The pros outweigh the cons.
Espithel (1) - MasterWalks
InsignificantWeeaboo (1) - Espithel
I hope you see the parallel between the above post and yours: "This analysis really does nothing - it's just 'lynching mafia good, lynching town bad', which is self-explanatory."
I'm bringing this up because I feel that if we were both scum, I would be expected to retaliate against him to make the bus seem more real. I haven't, and don't really intend to. It's what he'd want if he's scum.
I'll accept one of us being lynched, though, because the logic here is perfectly sound. I just don't feel it properly describes reality.
Secondly:You've already told the entire group, including the mafia, you have a role that targets. That's already pretty brazen of you.
That's really the bit the mafia care about when they decide who to kill - the role itself. The roles they hate the most all target, so you've basically just asked to be nightkilled at some point. Same goes for you too, Walks.
I want to reiterate the last part of this - MW also stated he used an ability. In my opinion, this is detrimental to town - we agreed not to use (most) offensive and defensive roles, so this narrows down your potential abilities, a piece of information that helps the mafia more right now. And furthermore, unlike iancu's statement, which we could potentially get information from immediately if we chose, there's no such potential benefit for town from MW's statement.
(aside: I don't think iancu should reveal specifics right away - it's just worth noting that does create a plan we could pursue if we desired)
Much like how we asked if Ian should tell us who he targeted, is there anything to be gained in asking MW the same?
Unlike Ian, MW is currently under the lens of being mafia. That might change the dynamic.
Here is the thing tho. You got me trapped.
If i say i targeted you, then mafia is instantly going to assume the worst and conclude i am GN.
If i say i targeted ANYONE else other than you, then i get lynched because people will believe I am scumming you.
I will not reveal my target and i suggest ian does not either.
Here is the thing tho. You got me trapped.
If i say i targeted you, then mafia is instantly going to assume the worst and conclude i am GN.
This only matters if Espi is indeed mafia. If he's town, then mafia can sit back, relax, and not kill either you or Espi until they absolutely need to - which is why one of you should be lynched as soon as possible.
If we lynch him and he's mafia, great! - you're probably GN. You're going to be an NK target immediately, but at least we know. If he flips town, we know you're not GN - an assumption that, in that scenario, the mafia can already safely make.
If we lynch you and you're town, we probably don't learn anything - Espi looks a tad more suspicious and that's it. If you're mafia, the inverse.
The idea of using flimsy reasoning to vote on people was that the GN can vote on a mafia without having to roleclaim, then when the GN dies, we can parse back through their targets and identify players who are likely mafia.
If we treat every vote as a feud, and (incorrectly) postulate that every feud involves at least one mafia, we're going to end up with a lot of dead civs.
That being said, if we have to choose between Espi and MW to lynch, the right call is Espi, since MW could still be GN. But I think for now we should just let people vote without reading too much into it. The GN needs to have some degree of cover.
Regarding shockcannon, I think he's a decent lynch target for today. Yes, he would probably play like this regardless of whether he's mafia or civ, but a random lynch on shock is no worse than a random lynch on anyone else. The utility of the lynch on him would be that he stops roleblocking people. There's a decent chance that our GA correctly identified the NK target (there are other ways for there to be no NK, but this is one of them) - what would have happened if shock had decided to roleblock the GA last night? Or the GN? This is not a factor I want to have to deal with.
You all are actually so boring to read. I don't think shortening night phase is going to make that any more bearable. Let's speed things up a bit. I'm mind flayer. The person I blocked last night is hidden somewhere in this message. Have fun.
Why did you vote for jcj specifically, out of curiosity?Based on his vote. I think he should know that in a choice between MW and Espi, the right lynch is Espi.

I still really don't think lynching shock is the play this round. My choice is still Espi, but I would rather change my vote to MW or jcj if someone else joined me than lynch shock.

I don't really like any of the trains tbh.
Y'alls whole system of "town strategy" is to gather information during the night using the cover of numbers to keep the important roles hidden, and then reveal when there's another guaranteed info. Random lynching based off unfounded arguments and ridiculous reads on day 1 is literally the opposite of that. If you're going to play this boring meta "town-strategy" and lynch anyone who chooses not to adhere to that (idk maybe like me) then at least stick to your own freaking strategy for at least 1 day/night phase. Mafia's probably having a field day right now.
If you're really that keen on lynching someone I'm going to change my vote to someone I actually think is mafia later in the day. Feel free to join. Can't guarantee this vote will be 100% accurate. I'm less sure this game with more players and I need one more day/night to solidify some leads. Really should be voting no lynch for today. I didn't want to post this because I was having too much fun, but then I realized I also like winning and I'm really bad about staying quiet.
Firstly, he has not defended himself much at all really, more just deflection. He has held majority of the votes this day and hasnt really addressed any of it.
...
Its the fact that even after applied pressure, he has not said much of anything about getting voted on.
I do not know Espi, and i have heard is a bit weird, but something is just NOT sitting right with me. Do i have more information on this that i do not want to share? Yes. Its more than a gut feeling but thats all i have to use to convince yall to vote for him.
Ill come out with my gameplan rn.
If i get majority vote and its close to deadline, I will role reveal and target reveal. HOPEFULLY that will convince you to vote him.
If he gets lynched, I go back to Mafia 70 MasterWalks and lay low, giving out what info i can gather using my role until i have enough info to help more.
I ask everyone who is sus of me to go back and check one of the chat logs. Whichever one Linkcat was talking about me. He knows me quite well (a little too well tbh, i havent talked to him on a personal level that much, kinda weird) and knows how i would play.
I'm a little muffed by what is going on with the trusting root as town right now. I think that we are able to do this without the guidance of our unclear; however, that's not to say I scumread Root.
I was going to mention something about the possibility of well-orchestrated bussing between dd and shock, but I think shock is town so that's irrelevant now.

True, but sometimes hard defending is not the play - he posed a lot of questions to me after I added pressure, prodding my logic. I will concede he didn't respond much to you, however, which is certainly notable.
I'm also against lynching Walks. As... Stubborn as he is, he is my hardest townread. I'm feeling 85%+ he's town. Mafia do not tunnel as much as he is right now.
Ian, your face is lame but you're a genius.

They can in four-mafia games, and/or games where there's a perceived talent advantage to mafia. What if the team (and just throwing out names of some experienced players, no scumreads and no shade if you aren't on this list) is, hypothetically, MW/Root/jcj/Link? I think it'd be a legitimate strategy for that team to have an aggro mafia.
But, regardless, I agree with you - I don't see MW as mafia here either.
I'd probably remove my vote if it comes down to this. I don't think town gains anything from lynching Johnny.you trying to catch up before getting out of bed I need to get up now I only got as far as this one but I had to f****** comment that my name has no h in it :D

My apologies, I though Jonathan was long for John. Will edit.No, no, no, don't edit please. Editing posts is against the rules in mafia. I hope I said this in time and you didn't edit it yet.
Also, I caught a firefly.
I still really don't think lynching shock is the play this round. My choice is still Espi, but I would rather change my vote to MW or jcj if someone else joined me than lynch shock.

The question I now ask myself is: how useful/irrelevant is shock for mafia, one who does not necessarily conform to town strategies.
Above quote shows dd apparently is fine with lynching JCJ, instead of focussing on Espi/MW, but then again I don't see the benefit of that. It does not provide anything better than lynching shock?! It might be a bit scummy.
The odds of you being GN are the same 1-in-19 as they are for anyone else.
The odds of MW being GN are a lot higher because he made a fairly bold claim of someone being scummy. It could be that this is just a decoy breadcrumb that he's putting too much effort into justifying, or he's reading too much into insignificant details, but otherwise it means he's GN and has found a mafia. I think that option is fairly plausible.
So, between you and MW (again, this is still a dichotomy I disagree with), I think you're the better lynch candidate.
Other people that jump out to me are Coffee for being quiet, kaempfer for not playing how I expected him to, and Root for giving me weird vibes.
The odds of you being GN are the same 1-in-19 as they are for anyone else.

You have defended Espi as town more than anyone else.
Everyone else just thinks if Espi is mafia
lynching him gains no info. I agree kinda.
But you seem to have so much confidence that he is. With PM's banned and so little info, how are you so sure?
I can see what Linkcat is saying now.
I'll attempt to make sense of your post, because I'm having a hard time really.You have defended Espi as town more than anyone else.
I believe kaempfer defended Espithel because as he said, the accusations appear to be baseless. I believe the same thing, You are probably giving too much thought to little things, because hardly any discussion occurred before you wanted that lynch.Everyone else just thinks if Espi is mafia
I hardly believe everyone else thinks Espithel is mafia.
This was totally taken out of context wtflynching him gains no info. I agree kinda.
I agree on this, unless Espithel is mafia, lynching him still leaves a big question mark on top of your head. The same can be said about lynching you.But you seem to have so much confidence that he is. With PM's banned and so little info, how are you so sure?
Now you are contradicting yourself, one second ago kaempfer was defending Espithel, now he believe he's mafia?
Um, wat? This what hes doing as a mafia, Of course hes going to defend him as a town if they are both mafia. I reread my post and its written correctly.I can see what Linkcat is saying now.
I don't really get what part of Linkcat's post you are referring to.
About kaempfer acting strange.
Also, I agree with the fact that ddevans appears to be pushing a lynch between you two too hard, so I'm moving my vote accordingly.

My hypothesis? You [Kaempf] are mafia and you are defending another mafia [Espithel]. Other than that, you have role checked him and found he has an important role. If it's the latter, than i will change my vote again.

And yh, I too am curious about dd feeling so strongly about mw vs espi, as it seems to completely hinge on him believing mw to either be gn or mafia. Otherwise we gain no info whatsoever from espi flipping sth and as other people pointed out even if espi flips mafia it doesnt really tell much.
Above quote shows dd apparently is fine with lynching JCJ, instead of focussing on Espi/MW, but then again I don't see the benefit of that. It does not provide anything better than lynching shock?! It might be a bit scummy.
Now that I look at it, it does seem weird how dd emphasizes Espi and MW as the only options for lynching...
If there is any additional information in the chatlogs, please post them, because I couldn't bother reading through such an amount of text (I read the entire topic, however). I will hold my vote back in the meantime to cover burrowed players, which I think is a good idea. I am overall leaning to kill either Espi or MW though.
I backed away from the stance that we should lynch either Espi/MW, preferring MW, and moved my stance to 'anyone but shock' - I felt that it should have been obvious, at that point, that my initial pressure on those two was left at that.
So this is 1) incorrect and 2) curiously, was not an opinion you [Calindu] had voiced earlier - it was kinda just tacked on to this post about MW well after after Link made his post about me.
If you were town, a possible explanation would be that you wouldn't feel comfortable voicing that opinion until someone else did, which is fair. But that would also show blind faith in Link.
"I backed away from the stance that we should lynch either Espi/MW, preferring MW, and moved my stance to 'anyone but shock' - I felt that it should have been obvious, at that point, that my initial pressure on those two was left at that."In contrast to:
"If you haven't been swayed by Link - vote for MW (or dawn/jcj if you desire), and I'll join you. For now, my vote is symbolically on my biggest mafia read, per shock's request:"
You have moved your stance to anyone but shock, and it was negligent of people to assume that you were pushing for this when you've stated you haven't.
Yet, you want to move your vote to a choice of MW, Dawn, or JCJ. There are many other non-shock targets, such as Weeb, yet you came back to these three.
Is there any particular reason you want MW, Dawn, or JCJ lynched over any other non-shock target?
Do you want to Lynch MW, Dawn, or JCJ over lynching Weeb? If so, why?
I have voiced that I didn't believe either Espi or MW to be mafia - I have also voiced that I don't believe MW to be GN.
If you haven't been swayed by Link - vote for MW (or dawn/jcj if you desire), and I'll join you. For now, my vote is symbolically on my biggest mafia read, per shock's request:
Personally, I'd take the opposite stance regarding survival - it's better to just keel over and die instead of trying to self-preserve, because it removes the ability for mafia to use self-preservation as a defence. That only works if every other town follows suit, though, which... Yeah, no.
You didn't answer the second part of my question, though: Would you prefer to lynch JCJ, Dawn, or MW over Weeb?

If you were mafia, maybe it could be this scenario - one of the early lynch wagons was one of your mates. Then, a wagon developed on me. It would, of course, make sense for some number of mafia to join that wagon.
There were 3 other places I could place a third vote on when I moved my vote from shock to you, and there were plenty of opportunities before that to wagon on someone else. Yet, I only joined this one.

That's not how probabilities work, Linkcat. If the odds of MW being GN are higher than 1/19, the the odds of everyone else being GN are lower than 1/19.
Linkcat is scum confirmed, trying to sway us by pulling numbers out of his ass.

I change my vote due to Links experience, but Espi, dont think you are off yet.
I BEG that someone roleblock Espi. Please.
It is true that in games that I am confident in my skills at, I usually have a lot more laidback playstyle. TBH I've come to realize that lynching people on the base of their actions not helping town, when the reason seems to be incompetence or a plain missunderstanding is actually a mistake. The actual reason for that was not immediately intuitive to me though and I only realized today why not only the people I am directly targeting but also people who are definitely more experienced than me disagreed with me.
Assuming every towny lynched people who deviate from the gameplan for reasons that are perfectly in line with their character (and thus more likely than not town if thats the only lead), mafia will never have to bother much with lynches and fit right in with no information gained for us during the day phase.
I will act not so rash in the future anymore and also try to refrain a bit more from discussion that doesnt help finding leads, even if it means having to accept that some of our allies either actively choose (for the fun factor or due to thinking they know better) to play suboptimally. After all it too seems that I aint quite got the hang of this.
So for now I will wait for more information to make a move. Which ironically means my vote on mw remains for a while even though I admitted its likely a mistake :P
As for why I quite strongly believe espi to be town or at least mws claim to be completely baseless, even though he clearly feels strongly about it: Similiar to DC and somewhat shock (although espi does strike me as better mafia player than either) simply has an irritating personality that most of us got used to, but mw clearly hasnt. Everything espi said (even if some of it is controversial) seems perfectly sound from townperspective to me and he definitely helps furthering discussion (towns primary weapon!) and he has experience (at least by virtue of sheer number of games played). If he is town, which -statistically speaking- he is, I would not want to lose him.
And yh, I too am curious about dd feeling so strongly about mw vs espi, as it seems to completely hinge on him believing mw to either be gn or mafia. Otherwise we gain no info whatsoever from espi flipping sth and as other people pointed out even if espi flips mafia it doesnt really tell much.
I'm still on MW. Sadly not had time to fully keep up but every time he talks i want him dead. *shrug*
The reason why lynching 'bad' town is bad is that when people play badly it sparks conversation. It sparks drama. Drama makes people make mistakes in their game. I kinda love the way shock and espi play.
(not related to the game, i really like the makeup of this mafia. we have new players, experienced players, logical ones, chaotic ones. People thinking differently to you is always a good thing. Sparks conversation.

Two mafia in this group of voters.
Proper post later, I have housework to take care of.
Now that I look at it, it does seem weird how dd emphasizes Espi and MW as the only options for lynching...
As above, the point was to provide pressure on multiple people - which I succeeded in doing - and I have since moved to expressing a different stance.
This is even more notable to me - I put the most value in a bandwagon on the second vote. One vote can be a throwaway, a lone ranger, a controversial opinion people aren't ready to bite yet, etc. Two votes means something. This was the second vote on me - and it was based on a false statement, with no deeper reasoning.
I disagree that lynching one of Espi/MW will give us any information. Espi always does weird shit as town or mafia so lynching him won't give us anything useful. MW thought that something weird that Espi did was weird and got on his case. He seems pretty town to me, and lynching him will just confirm that he was a town that pushed on something weird. Not really valuable information.
I don't see why dd even calls this a feud, since Espi hasn't even given a proper response to MW.
I really don't like the way dd focused the thread on Espi/MW. Instead of putting down a vote like normal, he frames it as an option between two people, which makes it fairly likely that one of those two options will be lynched at the end of the day, especially when one of them is Espi, who has always been easy to lynch. As mafia, this is a great strategy for controlling the lynch and making sure it lands on a town, since it's easy for a mafia to get lynched on Day 1 with all the random votes. And since he's only doing this for "information", he won't even get a bad look for it.
Considering that the first group contains 10 of 19 players and there's 4 mafia, I agree that there's probably two mafia there. Considering that the second group includes me, there's a pretty low chance that 2/3 of the others are mafia. I also think there's a good chance that a mafia hasn't voted yet.
Disagree, two votes mean nothing, as we can see with dawn and JCJ. The third vote is the one that turns it into something real.
It looks to me like you've only been going after easy lynch targets this game, with weak, if any, actual scumreads.
Other people that jump out to me are Coffee for being quiet, kaempfer for not playing how I expected him to, and Root for giving me weird vibes.
Also, I caught a firefly.
Did you hurt it?
My priority is now survival - see my response to Espi. Information is the secondary goal.
Syke! More tunnel for a sec.My priority is now survival - see my response to Espi. Information is the secondary goal.
Okay so you have a million responses to him but i took a look at the one i assumed was the right one. If we are going to honest with ourselves, "survival first information second" is a "me game". Me survive first, town get information second.
[18:04:46] ‹ddevans96› it's not a 'me' game, that's the thing
So we got contradictions once again.
I dont blame you for defending against a lynch, but helping town should ALWAYS be priority, It has been for me. Right now, you surviving is not helping town, or at least you havent made a point in how it is. So far, you have said "I know i am town". I bet a mafia would say the exact same thing. Really, to me, thats your only excuse. Other than that your defense has been picking posts apart sentence by sentence and explaining yourself. I still am not seeing how that helps town. Your posts are long so it may be that i have missed something you said, but as of now, you are playing a me game.
Ah, there's nothing quite like picking fights with good players. I've missed this. I would respond to your individual statements, but I have a life so I'll just give a general response.
I still think my push was good, but you had a strong defense so I'm putting you back to neutral for now. I agree that your play this game does not match what I've seen you do as mafia before. However, a lot can change in two years, so I'm undecided on this point. I could push harder but I have a feeling it would just be a repeat of 62, where I lynched rob Day 1 and we were both town.
Your Insig read is still bad, his post is totally in line with what I would expect from him as either alignment. How do you feel about a kaempfer lynch?
@kaempfer13 I really don't think you're mafia. If you are I might be throwing for town but I'm going to take a gamble. I'm going to give you something that I hope you have the brains for.
@MasterWalks There's a potential chance you also can crack this, but I also don't believe you are mafia.
A long time ago there was a little mix up and error made when you attempted to give me weekly tournament winner codes. I want you to try and think of the reason why this mistake occurred. Simplify the cause of this error to a single word that makes the most sense if you could only use one word. That word should loosely be able to connect to one of the 12 elements. If you think it connects to multiple pick the more appropriate one.
If you think you know the answer, post that element icon along with 2 other random element icons (if previously you thought there were two possible elements that could relate to the word, do NOT include the weaker connected element in your 3 element icon answer).
If you answer this correctly I'm going to use that word as a key for a cipher in which I share some info with you.
Any attempt to bypass the PM restriction and send information to a specific player is against the spirit of the rules and will be treated as breaking rule 9 of the Game Rules.
I went to go cite the rule that says codes and ciphers are banned, but apparently I forgot to actually put it in the rules all this time.
I'm still on MW. Sadly not had time to fully keep up but every time he talks i want him dead. *shrug*

Maybe I shouldnt do this, because defending people with little threat to them in the first place is what got me here. But I cant help but defending myself each time that I am called into question.
Me acting awkwardly was obviously a consequence of me being new first, but it's also actually because I am town.
While technically I am surrounded by people allied to me, I have noone I can fully trust and on day 1 there is a little information I could have based on a role. All I know is that to gain information we have to talk. And so I blabbered whenever the opportunity arose.
As mafia it would have been much easier to lay low and just contribute enough to discussion to not be suspicious and I would have people I can orient myself towards.
[17:43:26] ‹moehrpi› ‹@iancudorinmarian› Did you mention anywhere that you wouldn't be as active as last mafia? Or is it because dd and Link are already doing the lion's share of posting/analysis?
[17:43:54] ‹moehrpi› Maybe I am just confused that late-game iancu posted a lot more than early-game iancu does.
[17:45:07] ‹moehrpi› [22:47:54] ‹Espithel› 'The first mafia lynch is the biggest information dump in the game.' I'd appreciate it if you could elaborate a bit. :)
[17:52:48] ‹iancudorinmarian› I can't contribute much tbh.
[17:53:04] ‹iancudorinmarian› I only really step forward when there's no discussion.
Evans seems pretty certain that there's one scum who hasn't voted.
3 hours left, and I want to make sure there's not going to be a no-lynch day. Does this make me look scummy? Maybe.
Evans seems pretty certain that there's one scum who hasn't voted.
I've said the opposite - I think it is most likely all the mafia voted prior to me waking up yesterday.
Iancu, please EBWOP to include my vote.
Iancu, please EBWOP to include my vote.Your voteis in his postand probably the reason he migrated his vote in the first place. He doesnt want our lynch target to be hammered in, so that mafia can just watch from a safe distance as we lynch a towny (presumably). If we target more people - so long as we do lynch someone in the end- we can make mafia feel more uncomfortable.
I've been watching this without much commentary, mostly because I still don't know all of you that well. So until I have a better read on people, I feel going with the majority is best for me. The ideal situation for me would have been to be absolutely sure, and I was considering using my vote to throw a null lynch, but given how the majority of you feel about that, I didn't want to give off the wrong impression and make you think I was mafia again. I truly hope we're making the right play on ddevans, but at this point, I suppose it can't be helped. Please bear in mind this is only my second game of mafia, and I don't want my inexperience to come out as scum.

Hm, since JcJ was GA, I wonder if he protected himself, survived the nightkill and thus mafia wanted to get rid of him while town is easily swayed?
There's a high chance I know who JCJ targeted N0.
There's a high chance I know who JCJ targeted N0.Alright, that was a lie. Just wanted to see people's reaction. Most were just guessing, but Mobian seemed to be pretty sure of it. I think we've just found one of the mafias.
There's a high chance I know who JCJ targeted N0.
Yeah, himself. He was likely the NK target.

no lynch is bad for town in the long run so thats actually more of a red flag, even if we ended up targeting one of our own

[16:53:04] ‹iancudorinmarian› I only really step forward when there's no discussion.
[16:58:23] ‹Guest-Archangel-5bddf› He’s mafia
[17:00:48] ‹iancudorinmarian›
[17:21:58] ‹iancudorinmarian›
[17:22:04] ‹Guest-FireflyQueen-3c571› hey
[17:32:14] ‹Espithel› ‹@moehrpi› Sure. Until we know who a single mafia is, a lot of our information is weak because nothing's certain.
[17:32:33] ‹Espithel› Once we get the first lynch, we can look at how other people reacted to that mafia.
[17:33:06] ‹moehrpi› ‹@Espithel› That makes a lot of sense. I actually just misread.
[17:33:28] ‹moehrpi› I thought about the first Nightkill. Somehow I missed 'lynch'...
[17:33:49] ‹moehrpi› Thanks for clearing that up. :flinch:
[17:34:43] ‹Espithel› Another truism is that if we've got one scum, we can look at previous nightkills to try and see why the mafia killed those people. Maybe they said something another mafia member didn't like?
[17:35:46] ‹Espithel› We can't really do that until we've got one kill because of the good old toxic townie motif: I'm defending Walks super, super hard, for example. So if I flip scum, it's going to look real, real bad on him.
[17:35:58] ‹Espithel› Ditto cal/kae.
[17:36:26] ‹Espithel› Sometimes, the mafia like to use that to try and make somebody look scummy.
[17:48:03] ‹Guest-Deathstalker-4afa1› ‹@Espithel› btw link said that there’s a chance that maf hasn’t voted
[17:48:11] ‹Guest-Deathstalker-4afa1› Not Evans
[17:52:18] ‹Espithel› fuck.
[17:52:28] ‹Espithel› Point remains!
[18:00:19] ‹iancudorinmarian›
[18:09:09] ‹kaempfer13› hm, I did say that i would move my lynch vote at the end of the day
[18:09:49] ‹kaempfer13› dont really feel comfortable with the choices though
[18:10:48] ‹kaempfer13› also kinda want to use the who function not for ingame reasons (atleast not really) but just to see how many people would be ready to react intime for the lynch
[18:12:58] ‹ddevans96› so what're we thinking?
[18:14:17] ‹moehrpi› ‹@kaempfer13› Is it the question whether you divulge information and it's bad if it doesn't lead to a lynch? If that is not the case do it now.
[18:16:05] ‹moehrpi› ‹@ddevans96› No scum-read so far. I am a bit surprised to see Root without any votes while some people have expressed scepticism.
[18:16:21] ‹vagman13›
[18:16:38] ‹ddevans96› hm
[18:16:46] ‹ddevans96› is anyone opposed to a jcj lynch?
[18:16:53] ‹kaempfer13› fair point
[18:17:21] ‹MasterWalks› The only scum i am reading from jcj is he is not as aggro as last game
[18:17:58] ‹kaempfer13› but many of the things that make jcj look scummy are explainable with things not related to things that are different this game
[18:18:06] ‹MasterWalks› thats not even really scummy. dude has said he wont be that active until monday and that all posts are coming from his phone
[18:18:42] ‹MasterWalks› i guess i would say i am against a jcj lynch
[18:18:44] ‹moehrpi› ‹@ddevans96› I asked somewhere earlier when there was no real motivation to lynch what we could gain from it. But neither votes for nor by him seem to be doing anything.
[18:19:49] ‹moehrpi› ‹@MasterWalks› I am against most if not all lynches. But I am against no-lynch.
[18:19:49] ‹ddevans96› okay. is anyone opposed to a MW lynch?
[18:19:54] ‹ddevans96› (MW need not answer)
[18:20:03] ‹MasterWalks› yes i am
[18:20:07] ‹MasterWalks› oh
[18:20:12] ‹ddevans96› :thinking:
[18:20:51] ‹Calindu› I don't find jcj scummy tbh, I don't think activity is a good way of deciding a lynch
[18:21:11] ‹ddevans96› I have a scumread on jcj unrelated to activity
[18:21:24] ‹iancudorinmarian› Same
[18:21:30] ‹kaempfer13› I have no strong feelings about any lynch (but my own ofc)
[18:21:50] ‹ddevans96› it's very light, but so is every other read for me rn
[18:22:16] ‹kaempfer13› day 1lynch is basically always going to be town, since mafia can easily counterbalance things
[18:22:28] ‹moehrpi› For my liking MW is too easily swayed. Then again I might be the same if I didn't just vote on anyone and decided to give it some time aterwards. I don't think it's scummy.
[18:22:31] ‹MasterWalks› not if we lynch espi it wont be town
[18:22:39] ‹kaempfer13› although if they do it too much it betrays them
[18:22:46] ‹ddevans96› essentially, yes, town lynch d1 is highly likely
[18:22:51] ‹moehrpi› Although some arguments seemed to have some holes, again not scummy.
[18:23:29] ‹ddevans96› so new question: how many people have their vote on someone that isn't their biggest scumread?
[18:24:01] ‹moehrpi› ‹@ddevans96› I do.
[18:24:39] ‹ddevans96› if you could choose any lynch, who would it be?
[18:25:31] ‹kaempfer13› I guess I could say mw isnt my biggest scumread rn, but alternatives arent much more scummy to me
[18:25:47] ‹ddevans96› who are your alternatives?
[18:26:21] ‹ddevans96› bc it seems like we don't really want to lynch either MW or jcj, and obviously I don't want to lynch myself, so is there any other option?
[18:26:48] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› how does one revise anatomy, theres so much info
[18:26:53] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› like its not going to stay in my brain
[18:27:12] ‹kaempfer13› I wanted to have another take of root, but most of that is an inkling feeling he lost his skills
[18:27:21] ‹moehrpi› ‹@ddevans96› I could drop a few names but it would most likely be related to activity and wouldn't do the others justice as it is a very weak read if you can call it that.
[18:27:38] ‹iancudorinmarian›
[18:27:40] ‹ddevans96› Root is insanely smart, no way he lost his sense of logic
[18:27:53] ‹ddevans96› that was suggested yesterday do, I don't know that I buy it
[18:28:12] ‹kaempfer13› last mafia i didnt realize he was confirmed towny for the longest time as mobian seemed like an obvious scumread
[18:28:16] ‹Calindu› Root appears to be very quiet, but I don't believe he'll play like that if he were mafia
[18:28:18] ‹moehrpi› ‹@Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› Studying usually helps.
[18:28:44] ‹Guest-GiantFrog-c080b› Has anyone seen ARTH or aves around? I'm curious where we stand on brawl stuff.
[18:28:47] ‹MasterWalks› If we were lynching for information, i think ian would give us some decent info. If we were lynching for reactions, not too sure. If we were lynching for mafia kill, espi would be the best target.
[18:28:52] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› ‹@moehrpi› it doesnt help
[18:28:54] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› ive been trying
[18:29:00] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@Guest-GiantFrog-c080b› ARTH just posted
[18:29:22] ‹ddevans96› I think the strongest read in the game is you on Espi
[18:29:25] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› ‹@Guest-GiantFrog-c080b› read the forum post before you lel
[18:29:30] ‹ddevans96› with the second being shock on iancu
[18:29:43] ‹ddevans96› that's the only two reads that have been strongly pushed
[18:29:57] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› how much time till day end?
[18:29:57] ‹Kameqo› Is this ToS?
[18:29:59] ‹kaempfer13› those are the ones with the most confidence behind them i guess
[18:30:17] ‹Guest-GiantFrog-c080b› In the few seconds it took to go from forum to here he posted. It wasnt there a minute ago when I checked.
[18:30:18] ‹ddevans96› I think one of them makes the most sense to lynch - but we'd have to get all the votes on them from 0
[18:30:20] ‹iancudorinmarian› shock's vote is random at best
[18:30:22] ‹kaempfer13› but from players who quickly latch onto things
[18:30:28] ‹MasterWalks› i honestly think shock wants ian lynched for info, not a mafia read
[18:30:54] ‹ddevans96› maybe, but that's not what he's claiming
[18:30:59] ‹Calindu› I hardly believe we'll get much info by lynching ian
[18:31:15] ‹MasterWalks› shock is always like 70% lies 30% truth
[18:32:38] ‹Calindu› This vote feels random
[18:33:16] ‹kaempfer13› yh, basically makes it impossible to lynch anyone else, there was no need for it
[18:33:23] ‹ddevans96› yeah, that severely limits the chance of me not getting lynched - it's not a hammer but it may as well be one
[18:33:34] ‹ddevans96› we kinda have to go for jcj or MW now
[18:33:48] ‹ddevans96› and we'd need 2/3 people to do it
[18:34:49] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› this is so fun to watch when you know who the mafia is :sillyspin:
[18:34:52] ‹Espithel› I am 100% opposed to a Walk lynch.
[18:34:56] ‹kaempfer13› well i suppose thats one way to restore balance; sortof
[18:35:11] ‹ddevans96› yeah, I don't think a MW lynch is in the cards this round anyways
[18:35:14] ‹Calindu› I don't think lynching MW is a good idea for this round, he's playing too aggro to be mafia
[18:35:19] ‹Espithel› Jcj is fine. Evans is fine. Ian is fine. I don't like how wishy-washy we're being.
[18:35:33] ‹Espithel› (fine to lynch)
[18:35:39] ‹ddevans96› it's not really wishy washy, this feels pretty standard
[18:35:51] ‹ddevans96› 1) early push and you (and kinda) MW
[18:35:55] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› ‹@Espithel› your face is fine
[18:35:58] ‹ddevans96› 2) strong push on me
[18:36:03] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› ian, did i do that right
[18:36:08] ‹ddevans96› 3) attempted organized push on someone else
[18:36:23] ‹iancudorinmarian› ‹@Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› *sigh*
[18:36:52] ‹Calindu› Why are you guys seeing jcj as scummy?
[18:37:18] ‹iancudorinmarian› Remember how last game he was all like "Let's not lynch D1, let's wait for more info"
[18:37:23] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› how many mafia are there
[18:37:25] ‹iancudorinmarian› Now he actually wants a D1 lynch.
[18:37:33] ‹ddevans96› 4 mafia, 15 others
[18:37:36] ‹Espithel› ‹@Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› 4
[18:37:37] ‹iancudorinmarian› I dunno, it's a thin line, but it's something.
[18:37:38] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› 4
[18:37:40] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› cool
[18:38:16] ‹ddevans96› his three reads stated in his last post (excluding me) are all opposite of mine - that means there's a perspective different somewhere
[18:38:30] ‹Calindu› Well, I haven't played last game, but I believe info is more useful when you can PM
[18:38:32] ‹ddevans96› probably nothing, could be something - 'could be something' is just the best we can do rn
[18:38:45] ‹Calindu› So you can maybe afford to take it slower
[18:39:09] ‹Espithel› We probably are stressing too much about the day 1 lynch, to be honest.
[18:39:11] ‹iancudorinmarian› I don't have any strong reads.
[18:39:26] ‹iancudorinmarian› And the only reason I previously voted for dd is to have a D1 lynch.
[18:40:01] ‹MasterWalks› If the vote is tied, does the deadline postpone or do we No Lynch?
[18:40:10] ‹ddevans96› we no lynch
[18:40:18] ‹ddevans96› so we don't want a tied vote in...20 minutes
[18:40:31] ‹MasterWalks› ok we need to break this tie
[18:40:43] ‹Espithel› On it
[18:40:45] ‹MasterWalks› I hate both targets
[18:40:57] ‹Calindu› There are 6 people that haven't voted yet
[18:41:06] ‹MasterWalks› thats fine. It hides garboid
[18:41:11] ‹kaempfer13› as in you want both dead or really like them?
[18:41:23] ‹MasterWalks› No i want neither of them lynched
[18:41:39] ‹MasterWalks› I like the people lol
[18:41:45] ‹MasterWalks› i hate the votes
[18:42:01] ‹Calindu› It hides graboid, but you don't need that many people hiding the graboid
[18:42:33] ‹ddevans96› agreed with Cal, ideally some of these non-voters vote soon
[18:42:44] ‹kaempfer13› there is a 1/3 chance mafia already found graboid
[18:42:46] ‹Espithel› I'll last-second vote if there's atie to begin the overtime.
[18:42:46] ‹ddevans96› I'd say 3-4 people defending graboid is optimal
[18:43:08] ‹ddevans96› oh, yeah, the deadline does move back slightly, to prevent vote-sniping at the very end
[18:43:10] ‹Espithel› ‹@kaempfer13› Because of the nk failing, right?
[18:43:16] ‹kaempfer13› if it even exists
[18:43:23] ‹kaempfer13› yh
[18:43:34] ‹ddevans96› yeah, that's true, actually - that is one explanation for the lack of NK
[18:44:08] ‹Espithel› The other one is a blind heal, which I find hilariously unlikely but possible
[18:44:20] ‹ddevans96› it is technically a 1/19 chance
[18:44:40] ‹ddevans96› absurd, yeah, but it's mafia, sometimes you succeed on dumb luck
[18:44:53] ‹kaempfer13› there is eraph and guard i think
[18:45:13] ‹ddevans96› those are the other options, yeah - I think that's all of them
[18:45:16] ‹iancudorinmarian› Guard protects against NK?\
[18:45:19] ‹ddevans96› unless they just...didn't send one in
[18:45:37] ‹MasterWalks› there is no way they didnt send one in
[18:45:48] ‹Espithel› Inb4 sub's a bastard mod
[18:45:49] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@iancudorinmarian› its higher on prio list
[18:45:56] ‹iancudorinmarian› I don't think Guard blocks NK
[18:46:05] ‹iancudorinmarian› NK is not a secondary ability
[18:46:15] ‹ddevans96› yeah, rereading the ability, it definitely does
[18:46:26] ‹MasterWalks› Iridium ward? nahh that doesnt block NK. I had that ability last game
[18:47:22] ‹kaempfer13› damn should have really asked for clarification on that
[18:47:40] ‹kaempfer13› but guard not actually guarding is kinda weird
[18:47:53] ‹Espithel› 13 minutes until surprise buttsex tiebreaker vote.
[18:47:59] ‹moehrpi› I am very sure guard does nt affect NK.
[18:48:09] ‹MasterWalks› kinda. Its a roleblocking ability which some of us agreed not to use N0
[18:48:15] ‹ddevans96› it definitely does not*
[18:48:21] ‹ddevans96› sorry
[18:48:26] ‹ddevans96› i.e. I'm with iancu
[18:48:39] ‹Espithel› So, seraph, graboid, mafia's retarded
[18:48:51] ‹ddevans96› basically, yeah
[18:49:12] ‹moehrpi› Seraph, Grab, GA
[18:49:12] ‹Calindu› GA is also a possibility
[18:49:22] ‹Espithel› GA?
[18:49:29] ‹Calindu› Guardian Angel
[18:49:30] ‹Espithel› Wait, seraph and GA are different roles?
[18:49:31] ‹Espithel› fuck me
[18:49:31] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@MasterWalks› i specifically explained why guard is the exception to the rule (whether it protects from the nightkill or not it gives quite a bit of information on use)
[18:50:05] ‹Calindu› I'd argue GA is just as likely as Seraph or Graboid
[18:50:11] ‹moehrpi› ‹@kaempfer13› It does not protect.
[18:50:28] ‹Espithel› Seraph/Graboid is more likely than GA, imo
[18:50:45] ‹Espithel› When you have healers, there's a WIFOM game of "do we heal someone good, or someone less important"
[18:50:55] ‹Calindu› No, think about it this way
[18:51:18] ‹Calindu› Mafia hitting graboid is a 1/19 chance
[18:51:30] ‹Calindu› Mafia hitting a target protected by GA is still 1/19
[18:51:58] ‹moehrpi› ‹@Calindu› That is true only if you are town.
[18:52:07] ‹Espithel› Yeah, but it's not 1/19.
[18:52:13] ‹Espithel› Because of the WIFOM game.
[18:52:18] ‹moehrpi› If you are mafia you know whether one of you is Grab/Serpah/GA and can skew the odds.
[18:52:47] ‹moehrpi› ‹@Espithel› WIFOM still results in a nash equilibrium.
[18:52:47] ‹Calindu› That's true, yeah, didn't consider that, but I still think it's comparable
[18:53:03] ‹moehrpi› ‹@Calindu› It absolutely is.
[18:53:29] ‹MasterWalks› we REALLY need a different target than jcj or dd
[18:53:42] ‹Calindu› Also, consider that it's more likely GA targets an experienced player, I believe mafia would do the same
[18:54:06] ‹ddevans96› I don't think we're getting one
[18:54:17] ‹moehrpi› ‹@MasterWalks› Any other suggestions, like yourself?
[18:54:46] ‹MasterWalks› It would not be wise to lynch me but its honeslty better than those 2.
[18:55:05] ‹Espithel› No it's not!
[18:55:15] ‹Espithel› Because you're 1000000,00000% town!
[18:55:21] ‹Espithel› Stop being suicidal walks
[18:55:22] ‹Espithel› aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[18:55:25] ‹MasterWalks› Espi, Kaempf, ian, insig,
[18:55:26] ‹Mobian› Why so sure, Espi?
[18:55:31] ‹MasterWalks› all better than those 2
[18:56:06] ‹moehrpi› ‹@iancudorinmarian› ‹@ddevans96› Can you give further explanation to your JCJ scum-read other than he flip-flopped between lynch/no-lynch?
[18:56:24] ‹iancudorinmarian› I dunno, it's a hunch.
[18:56:30] ‹Mobian› It should be known that in 5 mins, unless someone votes on either JCJ or ddevans, or removes a vote from them, no lynch will occur
[18:56:36] ‹MasterWalks› god damnit
[18:56:49] ‹moehrpi› ‹@MasterWalks› jester
[18:56:51] ‹Espithel› If that happens, I'm going to last-second vote, mob
[18:56:54] ‹Espithel› Don't worry
[18:56:58] ‹MasterWalks› ian, vote someone else. JCJ is afk and moving and typing from a phone
[18:57:01] ‹ddevans96› already did so
[18:57:08] ‹ddevans96› the flip-flop isn't my scumread
[18:57:42] ‹ddevans96› [2019-05-25 11:38:16] ‹ddevans96› his three reads stated in his last post (excluding me) are all opposite of mine - that means there's a perspective different somewhere [2019-05-25 11:38:32] ‹ddevans96› probably nothing, could be something - 'could be something' is just the best we can do rn
[18:57:44] ‹moehrpi› I don't think ian is mafia. The claim of a blocked role makes me think otherwise. I am closely watching, however.
[18:57:52] ‹kaempfer13› wasnt there a rule for 5 minute extension with each vote?
[18:58:01] ‹Espithel› Yes. kae.
[18:58:07] ‹iancudorinmarian› ‹@MasterWalks› That has nothing to do with my scumread on him
[18:58:19] ‹Espithel› ‹@Mobian› He's tunneling on me extremely hard.
[18:58:38] ‹Espithel› He's putting himself in stupidly large amounts of risk in doing so. If he's mafia, there is absolutely no reason to.
[18:58:43] ‹iancudorinmarian› Plus, he can then focus on moving :D
[18:58:45] ‹moehrpi› ‹@ddevans96› Thanks for the quote. Totally slipped my mind.
[18:58:49] ‹ddevans96› ‹@Espithel› you need to vote now to reset timer, btw
[18:58:49] ‹Espithel› It could be argued that it'd be actively hurting the mafia if he was.
[18:59:17] ‹iancudorinmarian›
[18:59:45] ‹Mobian› 1 min
[18:59:47] ‹Espithel› So, if walks is mafia, he's braindead. Walks isn't braindead.
[18:59:54] ‹Espithel› So I'm like pretty sure he's town.
[19:00:36] ‹Mobian› True to your word, last fucking second
[19:00:52] ‹Espithel› gottem
[19:01:35] ‹MasterWalks› Lets take bets on what role jcj has. I bet GA
[19:01:41] ‹iancudorinmarian› lol
[19:01:44] ‹kaempfer13› my time reset vote would have been even closer, but thereis no need now
[19:02:17] ‹ddevans96› BY GOD, THAT'S SHOCKCANNON'S MUSIC
[19:02:18] ‹MasterWalks› DAMNIT SHOCK
[19:02:21] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› lmao
[19:02:27] ‹kaempfer13› I like JcJ as a person, so a little sad, but no ingamerelated objections here
[19:02:43] ‹kaempfer13› huh
[19:02:49] ‹Mobian› DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMNNNNNNN
[19:02:58] ‹Mobian› Shock swoops in with a save
[19:03:33] ‹MasterWalks› I object lynching JCJ but i think its better than dd
[19:03:37] ‹moehrpi› ‹@shockcannon› Did you put in that vote because of your scum-read on iancu?
[19:04:03] ‹shockcannon› I put that in so we don’t lunch
[19:04:10] ‹shockcannon› Lynch
[19:04:18] ‹MasterWalks› wy
[19:04:19] ‹MasterWalks› why
[19:04:26] ‹MasterWalks› no lynch is a terrible idea
[19:04:31] ‹kaempfer13› I do wonder actually
[19:04:40] ‹iancudorinmarian› shock doing shock things again
[19:04:41] ‹MasterWalks› litterally everyone is opposed to it. Thats probably why you want to. Hipster
[19:04:46] ‹Mobian› MW counter'd your play, shock
[19:04:48] ‹shockcannon› Ian you’re mad. Shut up
[19:04:54] ‹shockcannon› Maf*
[19:05:00] ‹Mobian› Not everyone, MW....
[19:05:06] ‹kaempfer13› weve seen most of the information we could get from the lynch other than the roleflipping on death
[19:05:14] ‹MasterWalks› you want no lynch too?
[19:05:21] ‹MasterWalks› why tf do you want no lynch
[19:05:24] ‹kaempfer13› not really
[19:05:46] ‹Mobian› Because we don't have much intel to accuse anyone on
[19:05:46] ‹ddevans96› I mean, I'm fundamentally opposed to no lynch, but I do see why people aren't
[19:05:48] ‹ddevans96› for d1 at least
[19:06:01] ‹Mobian› At this point it's all just bickering
[19:06:06] ‹MasterWalks› Yea and we will have less if we dont lynch
[19:06:06] ‹kaempfer13› roleflipping and the chance of getting mafia should be worth it
[19:07:01] ‹moehrpi› Maybe I should vote shock...
[19:07:14] ‹Mobian› But on D1 without any confirmed intel we're just shooting blind
[19:07:18] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› do eetttt
[19:07:20] ‹kaempfer13› from a statistical perspective town has to always lynch
[19:07:24] ‹MasterWalks› dont you dare move your vote
[19:07:38] ‹Mobian› Sure, we MIGHT hit a mafia, but it's more likely to kill a town
[19:07:54] ‹kaempfer13› but psychology makes everything muddy
[19:07:54] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› "[19:06:06] ‹MasterWalks› Yea and we will have less if we dont lynch" thats wrong btw, though i probs cant talk much cause im not playing in this one
[19:07:57] ‹Espithel› ‹@Mobian› Do you want to know the best way to get confirmed intel?
[19:07:58] ‹moehrpi› ‹@kaempfer13› No, odds change/improve on later days.
[19:07:59] ‹Espithel› Killing people.
[19:08:20] ‹MasterWalks› I agree 1000% with espi
[19:08:39] ‹ddevans96› day is now final, I believe
[19:08:54] ‹Mobian› Perhaps, but it doesn't sit right with me
[19:09:01] ‹ddevans96› shock's vote is late lmao
[19:09:04] ‹Mobian› I need to go to the bank. Back in a bit
[19:09:36] ‹kaempfer13› yep on my clock shock votedtoo late
[19:09:46] ‹MasterWalks› lol shock was late by 30 sec
[19:10:01] ‹MasterWalks› need to practice you typing speed shock
[19:10:11] ‹shockcannon› I was late on purpose
[19:10:20] ‹PlayerOa› Oh wow that's a lot of chat history to read :silly:
[19:10:23] ‹ddevans96› for memes? understandable
[19:10:28] ‹shockcannon› I had a last minute idea
[19:10:29] ‹Kameqo› Right?
[19:10:42] ‹iancudorinmarian› 25 seconds late lul
[19:10:46] ‹Calindu› rip
[19:10:50] ‹kaempfer13› damn he really was ga
[19:10:58] ‹Kameqo› GA?
[19:10:59] ‹iancudorinmarian› wow
[19:11:05] ‹ddevans96› [2019-05-25 12:01:35] ‹MasterWalks› Lets take bets on what role jcj has. I bet GA < lmao, good call
[19:11:13] ‹MasterWalks› :D
[19:11:43] ‹MasterWalks› lol sub and link about to feud
[19:11:53] ‹Espithel› Hm.
[19:11:59] ‹Espithel› Is it possible that jcj was the nightkill?
[19:12:04] ‹Espithel› Can he protect himself?
[19:12:25] ‹PlayerOa› Angel??
[19:12:26] ‹iancudorinmarian› yeah
[19:12:44] ‹Espithel› Because if they can that would actually make GA as equal to block the nightkill as grabby
[19:13:00] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› LOL
[19:13:30] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@Espithel› only every other round on same target
[19:13:36] ‹moehrpi› ‹@Espithel› I don't think you understand how numbers work.
[19:13:59] ‹Espithel› ‹@moehrpi› Numbers are those things that go up and down
[19:14:05] ‹Espithel› Right?
[19:14:38] ‹moehrpi› ‹@Espithel› Yes, also lifts.
[19:15:32] ‹Espithel› Do lifts rotate into another dimension if you multiply them by the square root of -1?
[19:16:11] ‹Kameqo› Is this ToS?
[19:16:39] ‹Kameqo› Also I love that math joke
[19:16:41] ‹kaempfer13› ToS is also a mafiastyle game so sorta
[19:16:54] ‹Kameqo› Good stuff man that was great
[19:16:59] ‹Kameqo› Imaginary numbers are wack
[19:17:01] ‹Kameqo› What game is this?
[19:17:21] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› etg
[19:17:39] ‹Kameqo› Ethyl glucuronide?
[19:17:57] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› elements the game
[19:18:02] ‹moehrpi› It's mafia.
[19:18:58] ‹Kameqo› Just called mafia?
[19:19:17] ‹moehrpi› Yep.
[19:19:25] ‹moehrpi› Or werewolves.
[19:19:26] ‹Kameqo› Mk
[19:19:39] ‹Kameqo› Wait what
[19:20:01] ‹kaempfer13› there are many names for games in its style, but this standard mafia with etgthemed secondary roles
[19:20:01] ‹moehrpi› Two different names for the same game.
[19:20:33] ‹Kameqo› Ohhh okay
[19:20:39] ‹Kameqo› That's pretty cool
[19:20:45] ‹Kameqo› How have you guys been playing it?
[19:21:04] ‹moehrpi› http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-game...
[19:21:10] ‹kaempfer13› dreadfully, we killed one of our best allies
[19:21:37] ‹Mobian› Yup, we surely did
[19:22:02] ‹Espithel› So.
[19:22:06] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› maybe its not your ally :sillyspin:
[19:22:17] ‹Espithel› ‹@MasterWalks› You want me roleblocked, yeah?
[19:22:20] ‹Espithel› Any particular reason?
[19:22:38] ‹MasterWalks› Cuz your mafia and you didnt get lynched
[19:22:42] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› in mafia you are always town :sillyspin:
[19:22:53] ‹Espithel› I think you should be roleblocked because you're mafia and you didn't get lynched.
[19:23:07] ‹Espithel› :^)
[19:23:57] ‹MasterWalks› vaild point
[19:23:59] ‹Mobian› Or you're both mafia, and bussing each other
[19:24:16] ‹iancudorinmarian›
[19:24:24] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› or everyones a town this game because bastard mod
[19:24:27] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› that'd be very fun
[19:24:55] ‹MasterWalks› we arent throwing each other under the bus, we are jumping under it together.
[19:25:22] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› the point of the game is to figure it out before we killed 11 people :sillyspin:
[19:25:22] ‹Mobian› I still wish Manny was playing
[19:25:41] ‹Espithel› Could you at least throw me under a train, at least?
[19:25:48] ‹PlayerOa› ‹@Mobian› A man can dream...
[19:26:13] ‹MasterWalks› I asked him but no response :/ He would probably just vote and not explain anything.
[19:26:45] ‹Mobian› ‹@MasterWalks› he'd find a way to troll
[19:26:53] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› i petition to be put into this mafia as the roll that wasnt used
[19:27:27] ‹Calindu› The roles are random, so there could be multiple of one role
[19:27:34] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› oh
[19:27:36] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› rip
[19:27:40] ‹Mobian› Who are you?
[19:27:48] ‹MasterWalks› "If I jOiN MaFiA i WiLl JoIn OtHeR eVeNtS"
[19:27:50] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› inb4 dd and jcj both GA :sillyspin:
[19:28:11] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@Mobian› its w3 on a new device
[19:28:24] ‹Mobian› Ah
[19:33:43] ‹kaempfer13› Also sorry JcJ
[19:34:17] ‹kaempfer13› maybe one day we'll be on the same team and you wont become irrelevant/inactive day 1
[19:34:24] ‹Mobian› No point in apologizing to a corpse.
[19:34:50] ‹shockcannon› You idiots
[19:35:02] ‹Espithel› YOU FLAMING IDIOTS
[19:35:03] ‹Espithel› TAKE THIS!
[19:35:31] ‹iancudorinmarian› kae mafia confirmed?
[19:35:51] ‹Espithel› ...Actually, yeah.
[19:35:55] ‹Espithel› Kae, that's a bit of an awkward thing to say.
[19:36:13] ‹kaempfer13› ya, but we get along pretty well and yet failed to ever work together in team games, even though war and pipeworks both were great opportunities
[19:36:29] ‹Mobian› I did apologize to MW after I got him killed...
[19:36:38] ‹moehrpi› ‹@Espithel› ‹@iancudorinmarian› learn2read, nubs
[19:36:46] ‹Espithel› ‹@moehrpi› Yeah, I know
[19:36:54] ‹Espithel› I'm not going to make a thing out of it.
[19:37:03] ‹Espithel› But damn that could be taken the wrong way
[19:37:29] ‹Espithel› Also only Daddy Shock gets to call me a noob >:(
[19:38:52] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@iancudorinmarian› okay what was your sus of jcj then if it wasnt about the afk
[19:39:23] ‹iancudorinmarian› I told you, it was a hunch
[19:39:30] ‹InsignificantWeeaboo›
[19:39:33] ‹iancudorinmarian› A bad one, as it turns out.
[19:41:15] ‹Linkcat› Fuck
[19:41:21] ‹Linkcat› I missed deadline
[19:41:28] ‹Linkcat› Who died?
[19:41:35] ‹Calindu› ‹@MasterWalks› You were the one that actually chose to lynch JCJ
[19:41:35] ‹Mobian› JCJ
[19:41:36] ‹moehrpi› GA
[19:41:37] ‹moehrpi› JCJ
[19:41:38] ‹Calindu› ‹@Linkcat› JCJ
[19:41:39] ‹Calindu› GA
[19:41:42] ‹moehrpi› Your vote did not matter.
[19:41:48] ‹InsignificantWeeaboo› shit
[19:41:50] ‹Mobian› Town
[19:42:04] ‹Espithel› You know who we should've lynched?
[19:42:06] ‹Espithel› Sub.
[19:42:12] ‹Linkcat› Good shit guys
[19:42:39] ‹Espithel› oooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[19:42:42] ‹Espithel› ‹@iancudorinmarian› Spicy
[19:42:53] ‹Espithel› Was it himself?
[19:43:13] ‹Espithel› ...I like how that looks like a sword.
[19:43:34] ‹Espithel› ooooo(OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[19:43:48] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@Calindu› I voted to break tie
[19:43:58] ‹MasterWalks› any lynch is better than no lynch
[19:44:37] ‹Mobian› ‹@MasterWalks› I still disagree.
[19:44:55] ‹Linkcat› I probably would have just kept my vote on dd.
[19:44:58] ‹Calindu› ‹@MasterWalks› But you could have chosen to lynch dd instead
[19:45:18] ‹Linkcat› Well, I need to go to a party, will check in later.
[19:45:57] ‹MasterWalks› I figured jcj to still be better than dd
[19:46:05] ‹kaempfer13› deja vu; nk failing on jcj n0
[19:46:22] ‹MasterWalks› idk anymore but dd seemed less sus than jcj
[19:46:47] ‹Calindu› That's what I don't get, why jcj was seen a better lynch than dd
[19:47:28] ‹Espithel› dd is "helpful to the town"
[19:47:30] ‹iancudorinmarian›
[19:47:39] ‹MasterWalks› jcj was very little help last game iirc.
[19:47:39] ‹Espithel› Or, rather.
[19:47:44] ‹Espithel› "more helpful to the town"
[19:47:44] ‹MasterWalks› and he was totally active
[19:47:45] ‹Calindu› I feel like he was chosen in the end because it was easy to coordinate on him, he was not here, he didn't really communicate much
[19:48:13] ‹Calindu› It doesn't matter who's more helpful, it matters who is more likely to be mafia
[19:48:14] ‹MasterWalks› I disagree. For me anyways, i just saw more value in dd
[19:48:20] ‹Espithel› This is true.
[19:48:28] ‹MasterWalks› Well if that was the case, yall shouldve voted espi
[19:48:34] ‹Espithel› As in, mafia being more likely is more important.
[19:48:37] ‹MasterWalks› but nooo i have tunnel vision
[19:48:59] ‹Espithel› https://proxy.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2F4.bp.blogspot.com%2F_-NIo79GfwbA%2FTAC9ErCXQcI%2FAAAAAAAAG9g%2FwAHfS9F3og4%2Fs1600%2FNew%2Btunnel.jpg&f=1
[19:49:40] ‹Calindu› Because you did tunnel vision, you probably saw something small and you just followed that
[19:49:56] ‹Calindu› I saw no real reason why you think Espithel is mafia
[19:51:18] ‹kaempfer13› how can ian actually know who jcj targeted if his ability failed?
[19:51:34] ‹kaempfer13› i guess he couldve lied once
[19:51:39] ‹Mobian› 1
[19:52:26] ‹Calindu› Maybe ian targeted someone and his ability failed because of GA
[19:52:52] ‹iancudorinmarian› I'm not saying any more, but it should be easy to figure out.
[19:53:59] ‹Espithel› Stop giving shock justifiable positions
[19:54:00] ‹Espithel› >:(
[19:54:02] ‹kaempfer13› oh ga prevents offensive roles too
[19:54:15] ‹Calindu› Well, it's either him or the person you targeted
[19:54:22] ‹MasterWalks› I think shock is FFQ, if thats worth anything
[19:55:03] ‹Calindu› Why is that?
[19:55:31] ‹Espithel› Yeah, that seems plausible. FFQ over dragonfly, though?
[19:55:34] ‹kaempfer13› if so and dd is to be trusted he very likely only knows that dd neither acted nor was acted on
[19:55:52] ‹shockcannon› Wanna hear a hot take?
[19:55:54] ‹kaempfer13› ofc multiple ffq are possible
[19:56:01] ‹shockcannon› 3 mafia voted on JCJ
[19:56:21] ‹kaempfer13› very hot indeed
[19:56:25] ‹iancudorinmarian› Then mafia are incredibly stupid.
[19:56:34] ‹ddevans96› make sure all of this gets logged, I'm packing for the weekend
[19:56:40] ‹ddevans96› I'll respond to the log later
[19:56:45] ‹kaempfer13› i dont think theyd expose themselves that much
[19:56:49] ‹Espithel› THERE'S TOO MUCH TO LOG
[19:56:51] ‹Espithel› AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
[19:56:52] ‹MasterWalks› He wants several rounds to info dump, he probably targeted high risk people first round hence targeting dd, and he is being carefully reckless
[19:56:52] ‹shockcannon› Mafia went for the double mindgate
[19:57:04] ‹moehrpi› Well, if dd is mafia there is at least one more mafia on the train.
[19:57:21] ‹moehrpi› me, root, ian, espi
[19:57:25] ‹moehrpi› not counting mw
[19:57:40] ‹ddevans96› (bonus: highlight things in the log you want my response to)
[19:58:12] ‹kaempfer13› a mafia member is fairly unlikely to catch a firefly imo, although its easy to lie about it ofc
[19:58:27] ‹Calindu› But if shock targeted dd, then the only info he could have gotten is that dd didn't use any ability and was not targeted by one either
[19:58:28] ‹moehrpi› I am also struggling to see how ian can know JCJ target.
[19:59:08] ‹moehrpi› Unless he tried to poison/eat someone, he can see if he was healed?, his mafia buddies told him.
[19:59:15] ‹Calindu› ‹@kaempfer13› I don't think it's easy to lie about it, I don't see FFQ as a powerful role, I'd gladly sacrifice myself as a FFQ to out a mafia
[20:00:39] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@moehrpi› guard and gotp are also offensive roles
[20:00:57] ‹moehrpi› not blocked by heal
[20:01:07] ‹InsignificantWeeaboo›
[20:01:37] ‹kaempfer13› i reread it to check if it can block roles, seems to state all offensive ones
[20:01:39] ‹Calindu› I think they are blocked by heal
[20:02:35] ‹kaempfer13› squid and flayer would be scummy to use though
[20:03:12] ‹moehrpi› Heal has a lower priority. That wouldn't make sense.
[20:03:48] ‹moehrpi› So the only way it can fail is if it targets someone who was healed the night before or the same night?
[20:03:57] ‹kaempfer13› oh forgot about priorities
[20:04:31] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› why dont you all talk in thread
[20:04:41] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› its eassier then chatting in here and copying this to thread
[20:04:46] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› (for people who arent here)
[20:04:52] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› chat log is so ugly
[20:05:20] ‹MasterWalks› Its easier to speculate here
[20:05:53] ‹kaempfer13› for quick talking forum requires too much refreshing
[20:06:07] ‹iancudorinmarian› Channeled my inner shock
[20:06:14] ‹MasterWalks› Some of us should list scum reads in the forum tho. Like a full list of all reads they have
[20:06:38] ‹Mobian› Yup, when I run a game, I'd like to use a separate discord channel
[20:06:48] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› in my maf, ill ban chat talk. While it has its benefits, people who arent as active and cant be in chat all the time, its an annoyance to them
[20:07:00] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› but im never hosting a maf
[20:07:13] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› so ill just have to be FGO and then do a link and veto anything else
[20:07:50] ‹iancudorinmarian› tbh, I'm fine with a chatlog instead of just having 20 pages each day.
[20:08:01] ‹Calindu› ‹@iancudorinmarian› As random as that may seem, I actually kind of agree with that lol
[20:08:16] ‹Linkcat› Lmao
[20:08:19] ‹Linkcat› True
[20:08:39] ‹moehrpi› ‹@Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› But what if you want to bandwagon your GA within 30 minutes and need four more votes?
[20:09:11] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› ‹@moehrpi› wat
[20:09:37] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› go beg in thread. chat's fine for small mafia related qs here and there
[20:09:44] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› not for a full on discussion and thoughts
[20:09:48] ‹MasterWalks› Chat log is friendlier for mobile than forum
[20:09:51] ‹moehrpi› ‹@Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› wat 'wat'?
[20:09:54] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› much easier to read posts then a chat log
[20:10:03] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› *than
[20:10:35] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› i hate how chat log looks on forum, its so ugly
[20:10:43] ‹Calindu› It's easier to communicate in small messages than wall of texts
[20:10:47] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› and having to see who typed each chat message is a pain too
[20:10:59] ‹MasterWalks› Just post a series of screen shots
[20:11:13] ‹MasterWalks› can w3 participate by posting all the chat logs?
[20:11:20] ‹moehrpi› If you need to read up forum is easier. The information in chat is just so light.
[20:11:23] ‹Linkcat› Sure
[20:11:38] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› there, i got you into mafia
[20:11:46] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› no
[20:11:51] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› im not posting chatlogs ew
[20:11:54] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› so ugly
[20:12:14] ‹MasterWalks› Make them beautiful! you are a model after all
[20:12:14] ‹moehrpi› ‹@Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› Make them pretty! With colours! :)
[20:12:25] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› no ew
[20:14:18] ‹MasterWalks› damnit mobian. not again
[20:14:39] ‹Calindu› Wow
[20:15:42] ‹PlayerOa› Can't help but seeing that as kind of a red flag
[20:15:59] ‹Mobian› ‹@MasterWalks› In regards to my salt or ian's asinine accusation?
[20:16:49] ‹MasterWalks› salt
[20:17:02] ‹MasterWalks› Mobian? more like Mortons
[20:17:25] ‹Mobian› I do live in Salt Lake City
[20:17:33] ‹Guest-Phoenix-b838e› Mafia is in the drivers seat right now and they’re in fourth gear
[20:18:12] ‹Guest-Phoenix-b838e› But are they smart enough to kill me enough before I lay down the road tacks?
[20:18:12] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› nope, im only third gear right now
[20:18:15] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› got more gears to go
[20:20:28] ‹Mobian› ‹@MasterWalks› In all seriousness, though, what new intel have we gained, aside from knowing we killed a friend?
[20:20:59] ‹kaempfer13› everyone that voted for him is more suspicious now
[20:23:31] ‹InsignificantWeeaboo›
[20:23:42] ‹Mobian› Maybe
[20:24:50] ‹Mobian› My theory is shaping up to be a lil different. If I survive the next lynch, I'll put words to it
[20:25:20] ‹PlayerOa› Gj cillessen, I have money on Barcelona :(
[20:28:36] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› ‹@PlayerOa› wheres ter stegen?
[20:28:53] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› and suarez
[20:29:58] ‹PlayerOa› Guess Cillessen is cup keeper
[20:30:02] ‹PlayerOa› Suarez no idea
[20:30:33] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› just read, stegen is injured
[20:30:36] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@Mobian› Id say quite a bit. We have a possible answer for N0 no kill, sus of people who started the bandwagon, and tbh losing GA isnt all that bad since they cant protect GN
[20:31:03] ‹Guest-GiantFrog-c080b›
[20:31:12] ‹MasterWalks› I mean its still bad we lost a town, but it wasnt the worst role to lose
[20:31:31] ‹PlayerOa› ‹@Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› Oh that's a shame, best gk in the world atm along with oblak imo
[20:31:34] ‹MasterWalks› sucks he couldnt defend himself
[20:32:22] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› hmm
[20:32:36] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› ederson is really solid ngl
[20:32:54] ‹Calindu› Allison has also been there this year
[20:32:55] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› and with kepa, you get additional bonus that you dont need a manager
[20:33:00] ‹Mobian› There is no defense against Lynch, aside from reason.
[20:33:17] ‹Calindu› And De Gea kind of sucked for the second part of the season
[20:33:24] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› yh
[20:33:30] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› most likely due to contract issues
[20:33:40] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› best to get rid of him and get some money
[20:33:50] ‹PlayerOa› ‹@Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› You think so?
[20:33:53] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› romero is class, we can put romero as first choice for one season atleast
[20:34:00] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› while we rebuild the other aspects
[20:34:01] ‹PlayerOa› Romero is good yeah
[20:34:09] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› cause we desperately need CB, RB, midfield and RW
[20:34:12] ‹MasterWalks› him doing a role reveal wouldnt have been a terrible idea and would've likely saved him from lynch if he said he used it N0
[20:34:25] ‹PlayerOa› Sorting out RB, RW and CB is first priority
[20:34:26] ‹Guest-GiantFrog-c080b›
[20:34:29] ‹PlayerOa› Fckkkkkk valencia 2-0
[20:34:39] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› midfield too imo
[20:34:42] ‹Calindu›
[20:34:46] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› midfield is shambles. we got no one
[20:34:51] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› herrera gone, matic too old no
[20:34:52] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› now*
[20:34:53] ‹PlayerOa› ‹@Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› Scott<3
[20:34:57] ‹Guest-Phoenix-b838e› You guys are act so bad at mafia
[20:35:11] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› pogba needs to fix up a bit
[20:35:23] ‹Calindu› Pogba will leave too
[20:35:27] ‹PlayerOa› RB > RW > CB = CM
[20:35:33] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› yh, id cash in on pogba too
[20:35:39] ‹PlayerOa› If pogba leaves then CM first
[20:35:41] ‹iancudorinmarian›
[20:35:43] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› sell pogba lukaku degea, get money
[20:35:49] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› invest in youngsters
[20:35:53] ‹Mobian› Maybe short term, but if the mafia didn't kill him, everyone would accuse him of being dirty
[20:35:56] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› get deligt
[20:36:00] ‹PlayerOa› Daniel James looks interesting
[20:36:07] ‹PlayerOa› De ligt would be a dream...
[20:36:14] ‹PlayerOa› Along with Sancho
[20:36:26] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› theres a better chance now of de ligt coming to utd than before
[20:36:30] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› barca obvs still favs
[20:36:37] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› but the van de sar link will help
[20:36:48] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› and he'll be our no1 for sure
[20:36:49] ‹PlayerOa› Seems like lfc's in the race too
[20:37:09] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› cant see de ligt going to lfc
[20:37:21] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› van de sar not gonna let him XD
[20:37:40] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› if barca lose this match today, theyre gonna go hard in transfer
[20:37:43] ‹PlayerOa› :D
[20:40:15] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› hopefully that will mean barca go for mbappe and griezzmans free for us LOL
[20:41:05] ‹Calindu› I can't see barca going for mbappe
[20:41:15] ‹Calindu› No way PSG lets him go there
[20:44:41] ‹PlayerOa› It's a shame ibra got his injury
[20:48:06] ‹MasterWalks› Someone want to chat log post this monster?
[20:48:21] ‹MasterWalks› conversation has shifted to soccer
[20:51:45] ‹Mobian› When I get home
[20:52:03] ‹Calindu› Did you just call football as soccer?
[20:52:20] ‹MasterWalks› U.S.A
[20:52:21] ‹Espithel› He's not mafia, but he's certainly scum.
[20:52:25] ‹Espithel› >:(
[20:52:26] ‹MasterWalks› I like the Chivas
[20:52:39] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› ew
[20:55:36] ‹Mobian› He called it soccer, I call it pointless. FITE ME
[20:55:53] ‹MasterWalks› its not pointless
[20:55:58] ‹MasterWalks› the cleats have points on them
[20:56:16] ‹Calindu› You made a powerful enemy today
[20:56:38] ‹Mobian› ROFL
[20:58:06] ‹iancudorinmarian›
[21:00:36] ‹PlayerOa› I'm with you cal
[21:02:48] ‹InsignificantWeeaboo›
[21:09:39] ‹MasterWalks› why do people have L/J on?
[21:10:42] ‹Calindu› Because I like to see when people join or leave
[21:11:57] ‹MasterWalks› it crowds it so bad tho and you can see whos here already
[21:12:04] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› news says utd very close to signing de ligt???
[21:12:10] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› why they getting my hopes up
[21:12:36] ‹PlayerOa› ‹@Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› Really?
[21:13:04] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› idk i just googled man utd
[21:13:06] ‹PlayerOa› Edwin's at the wheel
[21:13:09] ‹PlayerOa› lol
[21:13:18] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› and first three articles said very close
[21:13:45] ‹Calindu› There's a very reputable source for that
[21:14:17] ‹PlayerOa› ‹@Calindu› Which?
[21:14:29] ‹Calindu› Gerard Romero
[21:14:46] ‹Calindu› I heard he's pretty accurate for Barca news
[21:14:47] ‹PlayerOa› de Ligt has been liking an instagram post by Lukaku, lol
[21:14:49] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› on that note, bring edwin as technical director with you, de ligt
[21:15:00] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› ‹@PlayerOa› he also liked rio ferdinannds
[21:15:12] ‹Calindu› He said that de ligt got a very good offer from man utd
[21:15:15] ‹PlayerOa› Messi hits the post fml
[21:15:56] ‹PlayerOa› ‹@Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› That's even more interesting tbh
[21:16:09] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› he'll be tested more if hes at utd, and i feel hes the kinda guy who will want that challenge. plus utd offer him more money for sure
[21:20:06] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› there arent many good RBs around this window are there?
[21:20:25] ‹PlayerOa› Wan Bissaka would be the most likely I guess
[21:20:36] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› oh yh him
[21:20:44] ‹PlayerOa› pretty solid player
[21:23:10] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› why are transfers taking so long, hurry up teams, i want to see transfer business
[21:24:27] ‹PlayerOa› ‹@Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› Chief transfer muppet
[21:25:25] ‹PlayerOa› Nah just kidding. I'd like to see some business as well, looks like they're sorting out James at least
[21:26:51] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› not just from utd, but in general
[21:27:06] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› no signings so far
[21:27:34] ‹PlayerOa› Pulisic

[22:00:55] ‹JonathanCrazyJ› 😘
[22:01:08] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› you can say more to me
[22:01:10] ‹Guest-Chrysaora-9ce35› im not playing
[22:03:48] ‹vagman13› you arsefaces lynching jcjc, i said when in doubt , always lynch ian :sillyspin:
ian is more reckless this time around. He was ultra concentrated last game. Making long term game plans, calculated votes, etc. Thats why he got a ton of votes for best player. This round his reasoning for lynch was a hunch. He doesnt appear to be gameplanning all that much. He not espithel sus but i think its worth closely watching him.Except I did make a long term plan on N0 on how to protect the Golden Nymph. And except I had concrete plans later in the game last mafia and I was still voting based on my hunch up until there were very few people left. And except I just revealed a plan I made to make mafia (Mobian) slip up.

You're not reading me very well at all.
TBH Mobian doesnt appear to have the confidence he had when he was mafia. I would know as i had allied with him last game. HOWEVER I WILL NOT DEFEND HIM after what he did to me last time. I'm just not getting mafia read from him (granted i didnt when he actually was mafia last time)What do you mean? He seems to be really confident. He said almost nothing during the whole round, made a very late vote with no given reason, then jumped to criticise everyone's style of playing mafia, despite himself admitting this is his second mafia game. He wants us to wait for proof in order to lynch someone, instead of trying to actually read people.
Not in the early stages, but you people are SO hung up on "someone has to die, so we MIGHT learn something". With that mindset, we may as well not even have secondary roles and just blindly shoot people till the game ends.

And yes, I would like more information on a player besides WHAT they said, especially at the beginning of a game.
And yes, I would like more information on a player besides WHAT they said, especially at the beginning of a game.
What are you hoping for in a rule set that doesnt allow PM's? For another shock crusade of role reveals? For your ability to gather you more info? I doubt anyone is really going to info dump what they have found unless pressed with lynch which takes time, but according to you, we should no lynch. WHAT they said/say is really all we get for public information. What you gather with your role is your info. If you want to tell us what youve gathered, sure! But dont expect to live much longer after Mafia knows your role.
Damn, it's good to be back. Requesting Heal/Buffs on me.
If Ian didn't target Link, which would mean Flayer targeted Ian, this allows mafia Dragonfly to target Link, outing JCJ as GA. Then N0 NK just happened to target a Graboid. Btw if dd is town Graboid then the people who voted for him are super suspicious. This is also interesting, noting that FFQ supposedly targeted dd. Mafia FFQ, then dual target dd with Queen and NK would be a completely valid approach for them here, especially if other roles of theirs can get information.
You really think I'd have rolled dirty twice in a row?
No. I am, however, annoyed that we don't seem to like evidence, and would rather strike out blindly in the asinine hopes that we get lucky enough to hit a mafia. Explain to me who that helps, aside from mafia. Thanks to us blindly shooting in the dark, we just killed off one of our strongest defenders. So yeah, I'm a tad salty. If you think that's enough to make me mafia, then so be it. It's not like we need proof to kill anyone, anyways.
Even if they don't push the lynch, there's nothing stopping them from adding on to existing votes. A free GA kill is really nice to have for them
Nevermind, I'm going to sleep, mafia pls no kill.If they were going to NK JCJ anyway, having the lynch be on him is already convenient for them. Now they can choose whoever they want for the NK, be it dd or someone else. At this stage, they didn't know there was a 2nd GA so there's no downside whatsoeverEven if they don't push the lynch, there's nothing stopping them from adding on to existing votes. A free GA kill is really nice to have for them
Since they already have a guaranteed NK on JCJ, If dd is town I actually find it more likely that they would have pushed his lynch since he's a strong player, and even more likely that they didn't push either lynch. If dd is mafia then they definitely pushed the JCJ lynch.
feel like espithel is mafia
feel like link and shock are town
Can’t have blocked ian if he caught a firefly. So either we’re both liars or neither. You pick Root.

Can confirm that there is at least one Otyugh in the game. dd was targeted by them.
Gonna refrain on voting for now, but figured that it could be vaguely useful to give this info.
Ooh, interesting.
Who would want me dead?
[21:49:09] ‹ddevans96› ‹@InsignificantWeeaboo› post in mafia when you can. I want to hear your thoughts

C'mon, this is mafia. That's a really threadbare analysis. Would you mind elaborating on it?

I think we are still missing moehrpis justification for JcJ-lynch; he made a vague claim about jcj being too quiet, later mused taking it back but didn't.

For reals MW, espithel is town okay?
The fact that we didn't kill Espithel or ddevans the other day and instead wasted our lynch on JCJ was a real setback.

This is strange. Not really the content but what you did here. You've been super silent all game and the first bit of info aside fromvoreyou say is your role and target, and even your N0 action. Warden is really good late game and you role claim when there are only 2/19 dead. Can you explain your thought process doing this? Did you not think people would assume you were ward based on that info? Or do you think Ward is a bad role?
If a role that targets players but does not return information normally (such as arctic squid, mind flayer, or green nymph) hits an immune player, will they be notified?If an ability fails, the user gets notified even if it would normally not return information. On the contrary, if you are not notified with such role, then your ability didn't fail.
In other words, would one of these roles be able to discover a graboid for example or do they never receive feedback on their actions?
Claiming Warden, after having established that Warden is a potentially scummy ability
So are wards just not supposed to use their abilities then?
2.) We also need to hold off on using roleblocking/kill roles. This refers to Warden, Toadfish, Otyugh, Mind Flayer, Arctic Squid, Ghost of the Past. If we use these roles on random targets, it's likely that an important role (Golden Nymph, or even GA/Psion/Dragonfly) will be blocked, or a civilian with an important role will be killed. We had civilians roleblocking civilians last game and it was a nightmare. Yes, it's possible that a mafia with psion or roleblocking could be blocked, but even more likely we block one of own civs. If you have good reason to be suspicious of someone, then yeah you can roleblock them (although I almost always disagree with renegade kill roles being used unless it's a last ditch effort to win), but otherwise I wouldn't use them.
Devil's advocate here, but also bear in mind Insig's ward on dd did save his life. Sure, it prevented whatever action he attempted, but he gets to stay alive to help us sort out this mess. The question now is why did a FE/Oty try to kill dd? Townie making that play is odd. Likely came from mafia source. Let's also recall that ian's ability failed. It's possible that he's the FE/Oty, and if so, highly likely to be mafia.
...more like sus of dd which a lot of people are.

game rule 5
IW
Move to kaempfer with me if you're town, dd.Hold on I can play this game too
The only way I see an Otyugh using their ability on dd this early is if a Fate Egg got GN and investigated him N0 and then got Otyugh and targetted him N1, but dd said he caught a firefly N0 and no one called him out on this, so this is not possible.
I think we are still missing moehrpis justification for JcJ-lynch; he made a vague claim about jcj being too quiet, later mused taking it back but didn't.This is true. Here's a question:Did moehrpi start it?Or, did Root, sensing an opportunity, continue it?
The connections are between Cal and kae, and Cal and IW. Espi can discuss the former and I've talked about the latter in thread - I'm away from home on phone currently.
(Also, figured people would guess Dragonfly or another info role)

It's possible that he's the FE/Oty, and if so, highly likely to be mafia.I can't disagree with this being a legitimate possibility. That being said, it's also legitimately possible that IW is mafia Warden, and a town Oty convinced that I'm a likelymafia and comfortable taking heat if they were wrong decided to pull the trigger. I don't think it would be an unusual play, just an aggressive one. Maybe a decent play in the early game, since I'm going to be a goldmine for information when I die. Maybe.Regardless - the Warden softclaim isn't the whole picture, it's just some little things that just give me this uneasy feeling. It's the only thing I have that I would actually call a scumread right now.Aside: what if shock is town Oty? Almost completely lines up - most of us see him as town, he did have a shift in how he seems to be viewing me seemingly over the night phase, he's a wildcard who can handle criticism. There's too many missing pieces to be comfortable thinking that, however - more of an amusing scenario.
Insig's is not a softclaim anymore at this point.
Again, shock did joke about eating someone very early.
I'd like to hear more from shock but understand that I need to exercise patience.....more like sus of dd which a lot of people are.Feels like it's just you, shock, and Cal at present. Granted, three's a crowd, so still valid. Maybe also Espi and Mobian? Hard to be sure.
I am also suspicious of most people who are actively engaging in the discussion including you. But in your case I tell myself I need to sit back a bit.
The reason I am suspicious is because you avoided being lynched and pushed (with great ease) the lynch on town GA. I was in accord with that but seeing the outcome it's just not comfortable. But if you were town it's the only viable play you had left unless you have a shitty role, then the small chance to kill mafia might not be worth it. The last part is the reason I try to come to my senses and see reason. If you were mafia it's a good play but needs to rouse suspicion.
However, I don't think it's a good idea to lynch dd. He's a good way to get rid of Oty. Which is great if either he himself or Oty is mafia. It's pretty bad if both are town as we could have made better use of Oty later in the game. And good or bad if it was FE depending on what dd flips, but also mostly irrelevant now. Even if it does tell us a bit about another person's read.
Devil's advocate here, but also bear in mind Insig's ward on dd did save his life. Sure, it prevented whatever action he attempted, but he gets to stay alive to help us sort out this mess. The question now is why did a FE/Oty try to kill dd? Townie making that play is odd. Likely came from mafia source. Let's also recall that ian's ability failed. It's possible that he's the FE/Oty, and if so, highly likely to be mafia.I can't disagree with this being a legitimate possibility. That being said, it's also legitimately possible that IW is mafia Warden, and a town Oty convinced that I'm a likelymafia and comfortable taking heat if they were wrong decided to pull the trigger. I don't think it would be an unusual play, just an aggressive one. Maybe a decent play in the early game, since I'm going to be a goldmine for information when I die. Maybe.Regardless - the Warden softclaim isn't the whole picture, it's just some little things that just give me this uneasy feeling. It's the only thing I have that I would actually call a scumread right now.Aside: what if shock is town Oty? Almost completely lines up - most of us see him as town, he did have a shift in how he seems to be viewing me seemingly over the night phase, he's a wildcard who can handle criticism. There's too many missing pieces to be comfortable thinking that, however - more of an amusing scenario.
Insig's is not a softclaim anymore at this point.
Again, shock did joke about eating someone very early.
I'd like to hear more from shock but understand that I need to exercise patience.....more like sus of dd which a lot of people are.Feels like it's just you, shock, and Cal at present. Granted, three's a crowd, so still valid. Maybe also Espi and Mobian? Hard to be sure.

I'm exhausted as fuck once again, but I'll try to address what I need to.
MW has not properly represented my read on kaempfer. Him being awkward in the first place is not that much of a problem and only drew slight suspicion from me. What made me want to lynch him was the sudden and complete change from his posts coming across as odd, to his posts coming across as completely normal. I think the most likely cause is that he adjusted his play based on input from his mafia team. Now, the feeling of his posts is completely subjective, so it's not a particularly strong case, but it's the one I'm most interested in pursuing right now.
Since dd didn't use an ability N0, it doesn't make sense for a mafia to Ward him since he probably doesn't have a strong role. It makes sense for town Insig to Ward dd since he was scumreading him, even though it was a bad play. Outing as mafia Warden makes even less sense as we can see by all the votes on him, while outing as town Warden is believable with the reasoning given, even though that was also a bad play as we can see by all the votes on him. There's guaranteed at least one mafia on that train. Move to kaempfer with me if you're town, dd.

IW/kae/Cal have had some interesting interaction history this game, as Espi and I have previously noted
Everything in Cal's post makes sense, up to the point where he voted for me - basically everything there points to more of a scumread on IW than on me
I think the suspicion on ddevans is unwarranted, and IW is blind roleblocking, so this is an easy choice for me.

[10:53:34] ‹InsignificantWeeaboo› dd seemed to be attempting to orchestrate votes to get rid of important town. I wanted to prevent him from doing too much
What interaction history? The only interaction I had with kae is both of us defending Espi day 1.
The only interaction I had with IW is me calling him out on possibly lying.
That's the thing, I am not sure exactly about the interaction between you two, I found some possible scenarios, but they all are strange:
...
3. IW mafia, dd town: Again, no reason to warden dd, even more of a strange play. But at the same time, IW could lie about the whole thing happening, for unknown reasons.
I believe IW is town, since him lying this randomly or the mafia team targeting each other this early makes even less sense.
Alright now its pointless to hide it in case 4 people somehow missed that pms between mafia are allowed.
This is my first game of mafia here so noone would have noticed it as unusual if I held back and waited for responses from mafia before posting anything major. As such I think the one thing that makes you suspicious of me is actually my best defense here. I can go into even more detail about this shallow point if you request it.
But my waking up call was not a member of mafia pming me "wth are you doing man", it was me spending a day asking "why does almost noone agree with me?".
I am also suspicious of most people who are actively engaging in the discussion including you. But in your case I tell myself I need to sit back a bit.

The strongest connection is between you and insig. Albeit one-sided.

Move to kaempfer with me if you're town, dd.
[10:27:52] ‹MasterWalks› hes going to cherry pick everyone's comments about him and dissect them until they are irrelevant like he has been doing.
He was sus of dd, just like a ton of other people. You said it yourself (well more quoted it) If you are sus of someone, then yes roleblock them. Which is exactly what he did.If there were a decent justification for why ddevans was mafia, then sure. But there isn't. No GN claim, no Oty reveal, not even Psion - basically nothing of value. I'd still wager it's more likely than not that IW is a civ playing way too recklessly, but the odds that he's mafia are definitely better than the odds that ddevans is.
Dd has been really aggressive with pushing specific lynches, even after he got to his goal of selfpreservation for the round.
And he really needs to make it more clear when he's calling of the dogs, I still havent found where he actually stated anything contrary to espithel being the one and only logical lynch so long as people follow through (until after he was directly questioned about it).
Here's one, about I think focussing too much on one person for lynch target is likely bad for town in the long run as fewer people are actually forced to talk that way. For mafia getting town to lynch town is obv good.
[10:09:50] ‹shockcannon› ian is 100% maf
I just want to comment that if ian ends up being civ this game, the log loss (http://wiki.fast.ai/index.php/Log_Loss) of shock's predictions becomes infinite, basically meaning that he's so incorrect that human measures of classification performance are incapable of describing how unreliable he is. Just something to think about in future mafias - that one of the people you're playing with is an infinitely unreliable teammate.
What happens if iridium warden guards another iridium warden?
I would like to add to this plan.EBWOP
I think ONLY 4 roles reveal, and only specific ones.
Psion- Who you targeted and if we should be wary of any of their roles. You dont have to reveal their identities tho if it wouldnt help.
I missed a couple early posts that may have drastic consequences on my read. For those concerned about what my current reads appear to be, I'm reevaluating ddevans and ian to explore the small chance they are both town.
I suggest we wait for today's lynch before this whole roleclaim thing, which I am really not too sure about. It didnt help at all last game and I suspect a similar result
Also, shock realized he cant read people so now he is going for this roleclaim madness again. From 100% mafia to 100% town. I am awaiting the next flip.
QuoteMove to kaempfer with me if you're town, dd.Hold on I can play this game too

Guys, like 30% of the reason I think ian was mafia relied on ddevans. But if we really think ddevans is town, then ian might turn up something that we didn't want to see on the dead list.
Alright, I didn't want to do this.
I'm golden nymph. Ian is town.
Target Espi PLEASE. He is mafia and i have reason to believe he may be a FFQ.
Because i think a mafia has FFQ. I also think you are mafia. So by process of elimination, i have deduced that you must have FFQ.
Because i think a mafia has FFQ. I also think you are mafia.
Who wants to take bets on who dies tonight?
'in case you live'
I wasn't going to live without claiming. Like three different people all asked me to claim if I wanted to live.
'if he dies'
The point was to not die.
Because i think a mafia has FFQ. I also think you are mafia.
I argued against this in chat, yet you still push this. Explain.
dd has been so close to lynch every day that while even the slightest disturbance has him avoid lynch, it could go the other way.
It clearly only takes a tiny bit to move the scales away from me, given that I've survived at the very end twice.
We want the GN to have as many living former targets as possible upon roleclaiming. People mentioned 3 as a target number and I think this is reasonable - it would mean a Day 5 reveal in the best case. So, GN should target whoever he thinks is least likely to die - from lynch or NK alike.
If you say anything remotely scummy, "the scales" will tip not in your favor. I still think next lynch will come down to another vote hopping session unless GN is lynched. And the hopping will be on you and someone else.
He's saying GN shouldn't target someone who is likely to die soon.
He's saying GN shouldn't target someone who is likely to die soon. This makes sense, because it would make the GN target less useful. Keep in mind that a GN reveal tomorrow is likely still not the best play, in which case we'd have no surefire way of ensuring that ddevans isn't lynched if GN discovers he's civ. In other words, if GN checks dd tomorrow and finds he's civ, then town tries to lynch dd, GN can either 1.) roleclaim (bad idea) or 2.) drop hints/do nothing (dd could die anyways, in which case GN has no useful info anymore).
That being said, publicizing desired GN targets isn't great either, since mafia can NK those targets.

Then make me not likely to die soon. Mafia would be idiotic to NK me right now, it gives town so much to work with. So just don't lynch me.
I realize I'm probably not going to convince anyone, but if I was a bystander in this situation, I would be borderline positive I'm town. If I'm mafia and I've lived under heavy scrutiny for two rounds, with none of the mafia giving themselves away as keeping me alive, and no confirmation that I'm mafia, town just straight up deserves to lose. I don't think there's any way this town could be that bad.
If people don't want to investigate me, I'm going to at least ask that they investigate IW. He meets MW's 'more quiet semi sketchy person' criteria.
Disagree, Day 1 and 2 are always a mess and it's believable that you avoided the lynch both days without any of your teammates putting themselves out there. You're good enough to not crack under pressure or show obvious scumtells. There would only be 3 other mafia, and 14-15 town. Mafia doesn't have much impact on the lynch early on. There could easily be one mafia bussing, one in the non-voters, and one on any player but you, and we wouldn't be able to pinpoint one just like that if you got lynched. If you were mafia I would not blame town at all, there's not much to go on this early. Being mafia doesn't magically make you easier to lynch.
I want to adress something that is really annoying me, to the point of me even losing motivation to play. The general use of chat is fine, although the gigantic masses are too much for me to bother reading. If people being online could give a short summary, that would be great (and thanks to those who already did that).
However, the fact that several chat logs aren't even posted anymore is definitely not the way to go, and also against the rules. I've recently being poked into chat and there was mafia chat going on for hours, with breaks in between to easily post them. No one did that. At the end of Day 2, people were chatting for about 6 hours (!) without a single one feeling responsible, and it the end Sub himself had to do it. That sucks, because those not checking the chat very often (I only have it open for notifications most of the time) might lack lots of important informations. Further, seeing lots of posts makes you realize there is an active discussion going on to hop into. And if you did not have the chat open for the time being - we all know how great and fast the chat history is.
The icing on the cake is players masquerading as guests, which I probably do not need to elaborate.
FGO Note: I've addressed every instance of non-player interference that I am aware of. I don't see guests in chat as a huge problem if it's clear who they are, though I do ask that everyone log in before talking about any ongoing forum game. We'll definitely have some discussion on chat rules and a few polls after this game.
My ability failed this night.

- I think FFQs should reveal. I believe there are two and I think their information would be useful without having everyone else have to give away more roles. I know no wants a full role claim so we can keep roles hidden for now.
I would rather have avoided my immortality being revealed, but I will confirm. Thanks, dd.
So be it, I'm FFQ and you are actually lying about targeting Linkcat, I'm not sure if you are lying about being GN.
Linkcat was my N0 target, I know his role and what he got targeted by. He got guarded N1 and an Anubis targeted him N2.
I would rather have avoided my immortality being revealed, but I will confirm. Thanks, dd.
Except I didn't target you.

You have got to be kidding me.
If Cal is telling the truth, then ddevans is lying. If Cal is lying then Linkcat is also lying. If dd is lying, well then dd is lying.
I would put money on at LEAST one of these guys is mafia. Probably more like 2 of them are mafia.
I'll be brief and annotate.can only assume its because of inactivity. this is my first mafia and im not sure what im doing also last 3 days ive been in bed with the flu hence the more recent inactivity
- I'm GN and have checked ian and Linkcat.
- Linkcat is mafia
- I'm fairly certain mafia has psion and mindflayer
- I think it's likely that they discovered JCJs role n0
- I think the random moehrpi vote on JCJ was highly suspicious. Could be mafia throwing it out just to see if it gains traction without any pushing of it (which it did)
- Insig using warden last night was also suspicious but I think he's town. Again, I don't think mafia let themselves get into a situation where they're being voted up. Likely all the prime suspects so far have been town. This clears Insig and ddevans for me. Could be bussing but why bus if your team isn't even close to being on the radar
- Linkcat being mafia clears Espithel in my opinion
- ian said he had info to dump had he lived. To me this means a couple possible options. 1.) He lied about being blocked N0 and found some info. 2.) Insig actually blocked D2D N1 when targeting ddevans and ian was either roleblocked again (giving him info that there was a mind flayer or 2nd warden out there) or he hit a protected/untargetable player.
I've got some more hard info to share later, but I want votes on Linkcat for now.
Also, I want some thoughts on the following players that I find highly suspicious and likely mafia:
moehrpi
immortal_feud
mathman101
I'm still alive.
@RootRanger I need you scum reads. Besides the shock hate, i have no idea who youre looking at. You bashed shock for not helping town so lets see you help town and share some readsLinkcat's description of me was accurate; I strongly favor mechanics over reads. There's not especially strong public information that anyone is mafia, in which case it makes the most sense to me to simply lynch the players who are acting in the best interests of mafia. If they're civilian, we've lost less than if we had lynched any other civ. It's not just hate; it's my strategy to prefer lynches on players who are disrupting civ gameplay. Most recently, shock's lies have forced a FFQ claim, plus revealed that Linkcat is immaterial, which just gives mafia more info. And god forbid if we had an inexperienced GN who had counterclaimed in response to shock's (likely fake) GN claim - it would have been hugely detrimental to the civs. So, when no one strikes me as an obvious mafia, the choice defaults to the player who has been doing the most to advance the interests of the mafia.
There is a big problem with this dump, Coffee claims to have adrenaline, which means poison will insta kill.
How is this a problem?Because I would have no reason to claim that unless I was mafia and knew my team mate was the only toadfish.
How is this a problem?Because I would have no reason to claim that unless I was mafia and knew my team mate was the only toadfish.
Thank you for fighting for my innocence for me.How is this a problem?Because I would have no reason to claim that unless I was mafia and knew my team mate was the only toadfish.
...No?
There's at least 5-6 roles missing in the game. This is the first time Poison and Adrenaline's been heard about. I seriously don't think Poison is in the game by this point - it's not been mentioned at all and the list of roles we don't know are in or not is very small.
Secondly, who adrenaline'd you? Could've been a mafia trying to make you look scummy. Could've been a bad town (again). There's way more possibilities than just "The scum also has a toadfish."
@Linkcat: What’s the official ruling on Coffee and modkills?
Linkcat (1) - shockcannon
shockcannon (2) - Calindu, RootRanger
Espithel (2) - MasterWalks, ddevans96
MasterWalks (1) - Mobian
mathman101 (1) - Linkcat
Of Root's two lynch choices that aren't likely town, I would prefer to lynch Espi right now.
[14:52:52] ‹MasterWalks› Hol up
[14:52:57] ‹MasterWalks› Coffee posted today
[14:53:01] ‹MasterWalks› he shouldnt get modkill
[14:55:33] ‹Coffeeditto› I posted every day
[14:55:41] ‹Coffeeditto› I think it has something to do with my not voting
[14:57:12] ‹MasterWalks› Thats not against rules at all
[14:57:17] ‹Coffeeditto› oh.
[14:57:23] ‹Coffeeditto› maybe I didn't post every day
[14:57:30] ‹MasterWalks› Graboid would be modkilled every game
[14:57:40] ‹Coffeeditto› right
[14:58:36] ‹MasterWalks› I think you missed 2 days but still, you posted today. He cant modkill you mid phase for inactivity. If he was going to modkill it needed to be done last phase
[14:58:55] ‹Coffeeditto› I also have been submitting actions every night
[15:01:55] ‹Espithel› That
[15:02:01] ‹Espithel› That right there is seriously important
[15:03:04] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› nubmachine
[15:04:24] ‹ddevans96› testing deck
[15:04:27] ‹ddevans96› draw no novas for three games
[15:04:30] ‹ddevans96› then draw four novas
[15:04:33] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@Espithel› I'm a 2nd iridium warden. I target root the first night, who was targetted by Golden Nymph. Due to this, I think that shock is actually golden nymph, as he softed targeting root n1 a while back. Night 2, I targeted Link and nothing happened. Night 3, I targeted insig and nothing happened, but I got targeted by Adrenaline.
[15:04:41] ‹ddevans96› feelsElements
[15:06:04] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› woah
[15:06:09] ‹Espithel› OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH BOY
[15:06:15] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› woah woah woah
[15:08:36] ‹Espithel› THAT'S SOME SERIOUS INFORMATION RIGHT THERE
[15:10:00] ‹ddevans96› tfw someone who should have been modkilled gives game changing information
[15:10:10] ‹Espithel› Oh BOY
[15:10:25] ‹Espithel› Sub IS a bastard mod
[15:10:26] ‹Coffeeditto› tfw the rules on modkilling aren't fleshed out properly
[15:10:32] ‹InsignificantWeeaboo›
[15:10:57] ‹ddevans96› 8. If you do not post for three consecutive phases, you will be modkilled.
[15:11:05] ‹ddevans96› I think it's a dumb rule, tbh, but it's pretty clear
[15:11:59] ‹Espithel› His last post was on day 1
[15:12:03] ‹Espithel› Night 1, Day 2, Night 2
[15:12:06] ‹Espithel› Should've been modkilled.
[15:12:12] ‹ddevans96› yes
[15:13:01] ‹MasterWalks› hooooly shit
[15:13:14] ‹MasterWalks› Thats some juicy stuff right there
[15:13:28] ‹MasterWalks› At least he got it out before getting killed
[15:13:45] ‹ddevans96› I mean...it's out in the open now, nothing we can really do except pretend he said it at the end of night 2
[15:14:50] ‹Coffeeditto› so should I have acted as dead before being declared dead?
[15:15:04] ‹Espithel› What I'm gonna say
[15:15:12] ‹Espithel› Is no one should post in mafia until Sub/Link's sorted this out.
[15:15:15] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› another issue with allowing chat is, is it fine if you chat post within the three phases?
[15:15:30] ‹Espithel› ‹@Guest-Vulture-4afa1› AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
[15:15:34] ‹Espithel› DON'T
[15:15:38] ‹Espithel› DON'T MAKE ME THINK ABOUT IT
[15:15:41] ‹ddevans96› I asked Link, and he said the rule was clear, it must be post
[15:15:41] ‹Espithel› NO
[15:15:43] ‹Espithel› PLEASE NO
[15:16:51] ‹ddevans96› (again, I disagree with the rule, I think if you're using abilities/talking in chat you shouldn't be modkilled - but that is the rule)
[15:17:45] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› oh wells
[15:18:21] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› lets just not riot too much about it and get too angry xd
[15:18:41] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› whatever the decision sub/link decide
[15:19:58] ‹Espithel› So, yeah.
[15:20:09] ‹Espithel› I think we shouldn't talk about mafia until Link/Sub's sorted it out. Is that controversial?
[15:20:31] ‹Espithel› Because DC was the one who should've modkilled Coffee
[15:20:45] ‹Espithel› This might have the potential to end the game on the spot.
[15:21:22] ‹Coffeeditto› was the phase shorter than usual?
[15:21:40] ‹ddevans96› no, they've all been two days
[15:23:45] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› honestly, id still just carry on w the mafia, its not a massive thing. yh its in the rules, but theres a bit of common sense too. If sub/link modkill coffee, let that be and just play as normal tbh. just my 2 cents
[15:24:09] ‹RootRanger› Eh, "post" could be interpreted to also mean PM to host
[15:24:19] ‹RootRanger› Guest is shock, right?
[15:24:26] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› no
[15:24:32] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› its me ww3
[15:24:35] ‹RootRanger› rip lol
[15:24:43] ‹RootRanger› Anyways
[15:24:54] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› dw you dont get to have fun roast battles rn
[15:24:58] ‹RootRanger› Pretty sure this means shock is caught in another lie unless I missed something in the rules
[15:25:34] ‹RootRanger› He claimed he targeted ian night 1, right?
[15:26:08] ‹RootRanger› Or night 0, makes no difference really
[15:26:24] ‹RootRanger› If GN was roleblocked N0 and targeted ian N1, it would be on cooldown N2 (shock says he was roleblocked)
[15:26:37] ‹Coffeeditto› No hold up
[15:26:38] ‹RootRanger› So this is literally the *second* time *this round* that civ information has proven shock was lying
[15:26:47] ‹RootRanger› (unless I'm missing something)
[15:27:07] ‹Coffeeditto› he is claiming he is mind flayer and targeted moerphi n0
[15:27:23] ‹RootRanger› I guess Fate Egg GN is a possibility albeit unlikely
[15:27:32] ‹RootRanger› shockcannon is claiming mind flayer now?
[15:27:42] ‹RootRanger› Ofc
[15:27:46] ‹ddevans96› he claimed Flayer, then GN, then Flayer again
[15:27:53] ‹RootRanger› Lovely
[15:27:55] ‹Espithel› f u c k i n g h e l l
[15:28:16] ‹RootRanger› This is like textbook criteria for me to lynch someone
[15:28:24] ‹RootRanger› 1.) random lies to give cover for mafia to lie
[15:28:29] ‹RootRanger› (or he's mafia)
[15:28:39] ‹RootRanger› 2.) roleblocking civs to benefit mafia (or he's mafia)
[15:28:58] ‹RootRanger› 3.) fake claiming GN to solicit a counterclaim in order to reveal the actual GN to mafia
[15:29:19] ‹RootRanger› The sad thing is, all this considered, I'd say it's at best a 50/50 that he's actually mafia. He could just be playing really, really, really poorly
[15:29:48] ‹Coffeeditto› No, because he might be lying again in this way:
[15:30:18] ‹Coffeeditto› he might have revealed he was really golden nymph and all the info he got but then acted like he was lying to protect him from getting killed by the mafia
[15:30:19] ‹Espithel› Honourary Fifth!
[15:30:19] ‹kaempfer13› shocks chanxes of being mafia are always 1/5th it wont change anything about his playstyle
[15:30:29] ‹RootRanger› If we have the mentality that civs can just spew out random lies, we give mafia the same privilege
[15:30:51] ‹MasterWalks› Oh wait, i wasnt supposed to talk until sub and link do huh
[15:30:53] ‹RootRanger› He is benefiting mafia in almost everything he does
[15:31:05] ‹RootRanger› That makes it an obvious choice, even if it's the usual 1/5 odds
[15:31:09] ‹kaempfer13› gn targets people on even nights now
[15:31:17] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› ‹@kaempfer13› slightly more than 1/5. 4/19
[15:31:19] ‹RootRanger› Unless there's someone else who is a way more compelling lynch, and I don't think there is
[15:31:20] ‹Espithel› ‹@MasterWalks› I'd prefer it if you didn't
[15:31:21] ‹Espithel› But
[15:31:22] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› :silly:
[15:31:26] ‹Espithel› It's not like I can stop you
[15:31:47] ‹Espithel› If Root's SCREAMING, you can too
[15:31:50] ‹RootRanger› I think it's 4/14 accounting for 4 civs dead, plus me being civ
[15:31:50] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@Guest-Vulture-4afa1› ya, this mafia nerfed town superhard
[15:32:18] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@RootRanger› doesntchange the odds of being assigned it from the start
[15:32:24] ‹RootRanger› shock hasn't been helping either :/
[15:32:49] ‹RootRanger› Like, the people who want shock alive
[15:32:51] ‹kaempfer13› and you even argued about how probabilities work earlier
[15:33:02] ‹RootRanger› Is someone else really so obviously mafia that it's worth lynching them even when shock is undermining us
[15:33:41] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› Oa!
[15:33:47] ‹PlayerOa› Heyyo
[15:33:49] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› i can talk CL and mafia w you yayyyy
[15:34:02] ‹PlayerOa› I’m drunk as heck tho
[15:34:08] ‹PlayerOa› On my phone
[15:34:25] ‹PlayerOa› Is that w3?
[15:34:28] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› oh
[15:34:30] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› yh
[15:34:37] ‹PlayerOa› Nice
[15:34:57] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› pen or no?
[15:35:09] ‹PlayerOa› No way in hell
[15:35:17] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› o.O
[15:35:27] ‹PlayerOa› You think so?
[15:35:43] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› hand was way out for no reason
[15:35:46] ‹PlayerOa› Well i’m biased as i wanted spurs to win
[15:35:56] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› i wanted spurs to win too ):
[15:36:02] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› i think they shouldnt have played kane
[15:36:09] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› they work much better without him
[15:36:15] ‹PlayerOa› But my perception is that they make fouls of hands way too ofteb
[15:36:22] ‹PlayerOa› Well
[15:36:25] ‹PlayerOa› Hard to tell
[15:36:29] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› get kane off the bench if need be
[15:36:31] ‹PlayerOa› Kane is too good not to play
[15:36:42] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› play the team that beat man city, and ajax
[15:37:03] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@Coffeeditto› if so shocks an idiot once more; eor are refunded on failure, so gn should have targeted someone n1
[15:37:18] ‹kaempfer13› but ofc shock isnt gn
[15:37:37] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› for some reason, i dont rate kane that much
[15:37:48] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› he never delivers big goals or outstanding goals
[15:38:00] ‹RootRanger› ‹@kaempfer13› thoughts on a shock lynch?
[15:38:40] ‹kaempfer13› id like to do better than 25% if possible
[15:39:59] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@kaempfer13› ‹@RootRanger› If we lynch shock, thats a lot of info that clears up tbh
[15:40:18] ‹MasterWalks› but we cant afford another town lynch this late
[15:40:38] ‹RootRanger› ‹@kaempfer13› did you have anyone in mind?
[15:40:44] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@MasterWalks› really? with so many lies it proofs nothing to know his alignment
[15:41:36] ‹RootRanger› The same could be said for anybody else - that we can't afford a town lynch and they could be town
[15:41:41] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@RootRanger› i wanted to play with some variants of townreads on the lynchlog
[15:42:19] ‹kaempfer13› and see if someone looks scummy through those votes
[15:42:22] ‹Espithel› ‹@RootRanger› What's your opinion of Shockcannon trying to create "toxic association" if he was scum?
[15:42:44] ‹RootRanger› ‹@kaempfer13› fair enough
[15:42:45] ‹Espithel› He thinks Me, Walks, and I think Calindu are town.
[15:42:58] ‹Espithel› Would him trying to set up some kind of misguided fall be a possibility?
[15:43:12] ‹kaempfer13› just quote my post use notepad++s replace all to color names green and see if it adds up
[15:43:16] ‹RootRanger› As in, mafia saying "these x people are town", getting lynched, then hoping civs lynch all the people who mentioned?
[15:44:03] ‹InsignificantWeeaboo›
[15:44:08] ‹RootRanger› ‹@Espithel› I mean, yeah
[15:44:23] ‹RootRanger› But he's been spewing so much randomness I think it would just all get ignored
[15:44:50] ‹Espithel› There's too much of it for that kind of toxic association?
[15:44:51] ‹RootRanger› If shock turns up mafia, I wouldn't become any more or less suspicious of the people on his list
[15:44:53] ‹Espithel› Alright.
[15:44:57] ‹kaempfer13› sjock also believes me town
[15:45:12] ‹kaempfer13› one of the few consistent claims of his actually
[15:45:21] ‹RootRanger› He said ian was 100% mafia then later said he was 100% civ
[15:45:31] ‹RootRanger› He's chaos. Nothing more, nothing less
[15:45:39] ‹RootRanger› Not strategic chaos, not beneficial chaos, just chaos
[15:45:50] ‹RootRanger› Not intelligent chaos, not calculated chaos...
[15:50:43] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@RootRanger› I learned that removing noobs is the lowest priority when scumreading
[15:51:25] ‹RootRanger› Wdym?
[15:51:36] ‹RootRanger› So just let shock get away with whatever he wants because he's a noob?
[15:51:39] ‹kaempfer13› in fact a mafia member is less likely to do stupid stuff in public since they have a team making sure they dont say anything too scummy
[15:52:04] ‹InsignificantWeeaboo›
[15:52:13] ‹RootRanger› Mafia shock wouldn't get hindered by his team
[15:52:28] ‹kaempfer13› although shock gets a special pass there, since being destructive to town was guaranteed from the start
[15:52:40] ‹RootRanger› lol
[15:52:49] ‹kaempfer13› so he would be pretty valuable to mafia as he cant be read
[15:52:57] ‹RootRanger› You see how lynching shock mitigates our worst-case scenario, right
[15:53:18] ‹RootRanger› If we lynch someone useful and they're civ, it sucks. If we lynch shock and their civ, we haven't really lost anything
[15:53:23] ‹RootRanger› and he's civ*
[15:56:07] ‹Wyand›
[15:58:24] ‹kaempfer13› if we wanted to eliminate chaos we should have killed shock right at the start
[15:58:29] ‹MasterWalks› espithel is insig if insig was mean
[15:59:16] ‹kaempfer13› by now if we cant get any better reads we will lose
[15:59:37] ‹Espithel› Lynch or Lose is on day 5, iirc.
[15:59:42] ‹kaempfer13› shock will be impossible to read so guaranteed worse than 25%
[15:59:50] ‹RootRanger› I was down for an early shock lynch
[16:00:05] ‹RootRanger› Right from the gate when he was randomly roleblocking people
[16:00:11] ‹kaempfer13› is there really nothing better we can get?
[16:00:20] ‹RootRanger› It's just gotten worse
[16:00:33] ‹RootRanger› The fake GN claim was a serious issue imo
[16:00:50] ‹RootRanger› If the actual GN had counterclaimed, it would have been a huge hit to us
[16:01:02] ‹Espithel› Linkcat is so done
[16:01:02] ‹RootRanger› Fortunately they didn't, but that doesn't take away from what shock was trying to do
[16:01:07] ‹Espithel› Jesus christ
[16:01:18] ‹kaempfer13› meh it was obvious to me it was a hoax
[16:01:38] ‹kaempfer13› before cals claim that is
[16:02:39] ‹RootRanger› Even so
[16:02:47] ‹RootRanger› His fake GN claim caused 2 people to make actual claims
[16:02:53] ‹RootRanger› (Calin and Coffee)
[16:03:06] ‹RootRanger› narrows down the list, for mafia
[16:03:20] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@Guest-MinorVampire-8edcc› dont you dare talk about mafia if you dont sign in
[16:03:41] ‹RootRanger› How many people have yet to role claim? 10? Less? A few of whom are probably mafia
[16:03:59] ‹RootRanger› Means they'll likely be able to snipe GN in the next few nights
[16:04:59] ‹kaempfer13› 6 claims are enough for magia
[16:05:15] ‹Espithel› Do you think any of the mafia have claimed?
[16:05:22] ‹RootRanger› In the worst case
[16:05:31] ‹Espithel› If they have a "useless" role, there doesn't seem to be any harm in it.
[16:05:37] ‹RootRanger› 15 players and 6 have claimed, another 4 are mafia, means GN is narrowed down to 5 people
[16:05:45] ‹RootRanger› That's the harm in claiming a useless role
[16:05:48] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@Espithel› if so likely fake
[16:05:52] ‹RootRanger› Number of potential GNs is cut in half
[16:06:06] ‹Espithel› ‹@kaempfer13› Yeah, given the roles, it's probably fake
[16:06:13] ‹Espithel› (If one of them has claimed)
[16:06:26] ‹Espithel› But if it was something like, say, Green Nymph? That's really easy to claim safely.
[16:06:34] ‹Linkcat› ‹@Coffeeditto› Reads list. Now.
[16:06:36] ‹RootRanger› The sad thing is that half of those claims were incited by shock
[16:06:41] ‹RootRanger› A fact everyone seems to be overlooking
[16:06:57] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@Linkcat› am I not dead?
[16:07:25] ‹ddevans96› I mean, no point killing you now, lol
[16:07:40] ‹Linkcat› I can't rule on that since I'm playing.
[16:07:56] ‹RootRanger› Agreed, bit of a conflict of interest
[16:08:11] ‹Coffeeditto› then I would like to say that I have no need to out a reads list
[16:08:14] ‹Linkcat› Start being active and it won't be a problem.
[16:08:29] ‹Coffeeditto› see that's where this is kinda lame
[16:08:30] ‹Linkcat› Damnit Coffee.
[16:08:32] ‹ddevans96› ‹@RootRanger› do you have anything else of note right now other than 'shock bad'?
[16:08:34] ‹Espithel› Yeah. We shouldn't really be discussing this until Sub clears up the coffee issue
[16:08:46] ‹Espithel› But we are!
[16:08:50] ‹Coffeeditto› :))
[16:08:51] ‹RootRanger› ‹@ddevans96› That's a bit of an oversimplification
[16:09:10] ‹Espithel› ‹@RootRanger› You want to lynch me because MW is tunnelling on me.
[16:09:11] ‹Coffeeditto› I know my 5th amendment rights
[16:09:12] ‹ddevans96› I mean, yes, but also no
[16:09:16] ‹MasterWalks› we just got a lot of heavy info. Of course we are going to talk about it, and they cant really stop us
[16:09:34] ‹RootRanger› To me it's a super clear choice when one player is doing more to screw over the civs than anybody else
[16:09:39] ‹Linkcat› I don't expect Root to give us anything before a few more flips.
[16:09:51] ‹RootRanger› That is far more powerful than reading excessively into whatever random soft info
[16:10:04] ‹Espithel› You also want to lynch Shock because he's a bad town who's helping the mafia.
[16:10:05] ‹Guest-DejaVu-182e8› Jesus, people still play this game?
[16:10:09] ‹Espithel› I-is like
[16:10:15] ‹ddevans96› ‹@Guest-DejaVu-182e8› yep
[16:10:22] ‹Espithel› Is Walk being supertunnel not bad town?
[16:10:37] ‹MasterWalks› it might be bad town but its not bad for town
[16:10:39] ‹RootRanger› I actually retract wanting to lynch Espi - had originally thought MW was GN who targeted Espi N1 but this was proven otherwise
[16:10:40] ‹Linkcat› That guest name is really fitting lol.
[16:10:49] ‹RootRanger› I think the strongest town right now is Calindu
[16:10:56] ‹kaempfer13› if we wait for sub to do anything we need an extension
[16:10:57] ‹Linkcat› Seen that exact sentence at least a few times.
[16:11:03] ‹ddevans96› we've also acknowledged MW and IW as 'bad town' - and by we, I mean Link did in his reads list, and no one disagrees
[16:11:03] ‹RootRanger› In that he's been active, coherent, and provided useful information
[16:11:28] ‹Espithel› ‹@ddevans96› My argument here is nascent, but I swear there's a contradiction there
[16:11:29] ‹ddevans96› it's a different kind of 'bad town' than what shock's doing
[16:11:33] ‹kaempfer13› so much stuff to do before settling for a lynch
[16:11:35] ‹Espithel› -Lynch shock because he damages town
[16:11:38] ‹RootRanger› "bad town" is such a contradiction to me - if someone is playing in the best interests of mafia, it's a clear lynch unless it's lynch-or-die
[16:11:41] ‹Espithel› -MW is damaging town by tunnelling me constantly
[16:11:58] ‹Espithel› -Therefore, if not shock, Espi? ?????????????????????????????
[16:12:04] ‹Espithel› Doesn't matter as he's retracted it, but
[16:12:04] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@RootRanger› we have multiple of those
[16:12:05] ‹RootRanger› Ok sure, if you want though, if we throw out MW/IW/shock and just give them a free pass
[16:12:14] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@RootRanger› shock, mw insig
[16:12:18] ‹RootRanger› ‹@kaempfer13› Some worse than others, though
[16:12:22] ‹ddevans96› different kind of 'bad town', againbn
[16:12:32] ‹ddevans96› again* - and I should note that term is in quotes bc I hate it lol
[16:12:35] ‹kaempfer13› me for a while too, but I think i got better
[16:12:36] ‹RootRanger› shock is an order of magnitude more harmful
[16:12:47] ‹Espithel› He definitely is.
[16:12:48] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@Espithel› i honestly dont see how tunneling you is bad for town. Look at votes rn and tell me if anyone is actually listening to me
[16:13:08] ‹Linkcat› You can't really inactivity modkill in the middle of a phase. If he hasn't been declared dead by the host then he's alive.
[16:13:11] ‹MasterWalks› no one.
[16:13:17] ‹Espithel› ‹@MasterWalks› Because it makes any actual argument that I'm scummy a lot worse.
[16:13:25] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@MasterWalks› noone listening to input from a town is bad for town
[16:13:40] ‹MasterWalks› Well thats not my fault
[16:13:41] ‹Espithel› You constantly tunnelling me makes it a lot harder to lynch me.
[16:13:42] ‹kaempfer13› and you are losing credibility with each repition
[16:13:53] ‹Linkcat› ‹@RootRanger› Why would I ever lynch someone who I believe is town?
[16:14:06] ‹RootRanger› Because you believe everyone is town
[16:14:15] ‹MasterWalks› I lost credibility a long time ago. I can actually show you the exact post
[16:14:17] ‹RootRanger› If "believe is town" means ">50% chance"
[16:14:26] ‹Linkcat› No I don't.
[16:14:33] ‹RootRanger› Then not believing someone is town is an extremely bold claim
[16:14:45] ‹RootRanger› I don't think anyone except GN has info to think that someone is more likely mafia than not
[16:15:03] ‹RootRanger› I think they'd be wrong more often than not simply because there are way more civs than mafia and people aren't as smart as they think they are
[16:15:09] ‹Linkcat› No, believe is town means 90%
[16:15:17] ‹Espithel› ‹@MasterWalks› Thing is right, you can regain it.
[16:15:27] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@kaempfer13› http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-game...
[16:15:35] ‹RootRanger› ‹@Linkcat› In that case, I think you'd be wrong to believe shock is town
[16:15:43] ‹MasterWalks› thats when i lost credibility, although i still find that post hilarious
[16:15:44] ‹Linkcat› What if I am as smart as I think I am?
[16:15:51] ‹RootRanger› Playing poorly does not mean town. Playing in the best interests of mafia definitely doesn't
[16:16:58] ‹ddevans96› also - in regards to MW's brand of 'bad town' and why I'm not ignoring it the way people are shock - keep in mind I literally called MW 'shock lite' earlier in the game
[16:17:19] ‹MasterWalks› Im still offended by that
[16:17:31] ‹RootRanger› So idk about Espi anymore
[16:17:40] ‹RootRanger› I'd thought there was a decent chance MW was GN who investigated Espi N0
[16:17:46] ‹RootRanger› But Coffee's info disproved that
[16:17:55] • Espithel pants
[16:17:58] ‹ddevans96› why would you be offended?
[16:18:02] ‹Espithel› I'M NEVER GOING TO POST THE NICE, CLEAN, EDITED CHATLOG
[16:18:07] ‹ddevans96› my opinion of shock does not match everyone else's
[16:18:09] ‹Espithel› AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA**AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA**
[16:18:38] ‹RootRanger› There are...interesting interactions though
[16:19:11] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› end of day timer?
[16:19:22] ‹ddevans96› like 18h from now
[16:19:25] ‹ddevans96› 19h really
[16:19:27] ‹RootRanger› MW goes after Espi, Link goes after dd, drawing away from Espi. dd then joins votes with MW
[16:19:50] ‹RootRanger› If we're giving a free pass to all the "bad towns" then I think this is something to go off of
[16:20:00] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@Linkcat› Hey, are you allowed to edit OP to add in the phase link to this phase?
[16:20:14] ‹Linkcat› No
[16:20:15] ‹MasterWalks› DubC most likely wont be on for another 12 hours
[16:20:18] ‹MasterWalks› damn
[16:20:37] ‹ddevans96› the only actual 'bad town' is shock
[16:20:46] ‹Espithel› AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
[16:20:47] ‹RootRanger› Looking back into D1
[16:20:55] ‹RootRanger› There was clearly pressure being drawn away from Espi
[16:20:56] ‹Espithel› I'M NOT ACTUALLY SCREAMING I JUST NEED TO SHOUT IN ALLCAPS TO CALM MY NERVES
[16:21:07] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@Guest-Vulture-4afa1› 18 hours
[16:21:21] ‹RootRanger› Most strongly from Linkcat but also from kaempfer and moehrpi, among the people who are alive
[16:21:33] ‹Linkcat› ‹@Coffeeditto› Why did you Ward me?
[16:22:15] ‹RootRanger› Lynching Espi would give info at least.
[16:22:21] ‹RootRanger› There are worse lynches
[16:22:31] ‹ddevans96› yes, I'm of the belief that Espi is the best information lynch
[16:22:36] ‹ddevans96› better than Link and IW, at the moment
[16:22:42] ‹ddevans96› (which are my other two mafia leans)
[16:22:49] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@Linkcat› because of this post: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-game...
[16:23:05] ‹MasterWalks› I dont believe IW is mafia nor will he give info UNLESS he lied
[16:23:06] ‹RootRanger› Thing is
[16:23:16] ‹MasterWalks› but i dont hink insig has the actual ability to lie
[16:23:24] ‹RootRanger› We could be totally wrong about all of this - Espi could be civ, or Espi could be mafia but all the people who drew votes away from him be civ
[16:23:35] ‹RootRanger› And our GN will *still* get roleblocked next round by shock or someone else
[16:23:36] ‹Wyand›
[16:23:52] ‹RootRanger› If we lynch shock and we're wrong, at least we stop getting roleblocked so much
[16:24:25] ‹Espithel› We have 2 shots before lynch or die.
[16:24:42] ‹RootRanger› I'm ok with lynching shock in those circumstances
[16:24:44] ‹Coffeeditto› untrue
[16:24:57] ‹Coffeeditto› extenuating circumstances could alter those
[16:25:25] ‹Coffeeditto› it's safest to play assuming we have 1, as I could die from poison due to adrenaline or someone may already be poisined who is afk
[16:26:15] ‹Espithel› I am 80% happy saying that Poison isn't a role in this game.
[16:26:20] ‹Calindu› Can anyone provide a quick summary since the last chat log was posted?
[16:26:25] ‹Espithel› But, yes.
[16:26:39] ‹RootRanger› Ok the MW/dd vote pattern is a bit weird at this point
[16:26:40] ‹Espithel› You mean the one I *just* posted or
[16:26:53] ‹RootRanger› I think one would likely tell us info about the other
[16:27:31] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@Espithel› thank you. I meant toadfish's poison
[16:27:37] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› in other news, this guys did a better magic audition at agt than shin lim:
[16:27:43] ‹RootRanger› ‹@Calindu› our GN got roleblocked N0 and everyone is completely ok with people like shock blind roleblocking
[16:28:03] ‹RootRanger› ‹@Calindu› normal arguments between me and linkcat
[16:28:03] ‹ddevans96› dunno how you can read into my votes when I spend two days defending myself, but sure
[16:28:05] ‹Espithel› ‹@Coffeeditto› I also meant toadfish's poison
[16:28:34] ‹RootRanger› I'm just going straight from the logs
[16:28:35] ‹ddevans96› no, most people actually advised against blind roleblocking
[16:28:51] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@RootRanger› voting pattern ?
[16:28:59] ‹Calindu› I'm conflicted about shock, on some end a lot of people read him as town, but at the same time, we caught him in multiple lies that forced random roleclaims
[16:29:01] ‹RootRanger› ‹@ddevans96› and have no interest in lynching people who do it anyways
[16:29:07] ‹RootRanger› actions speak louder than words
[16:29:08] ‹Espithel› ‹@MasterWalks› A voting pattern is how you've changed votes.
[16:29:30] ‹RootRanger› ‹@Calindu› if a lot of people read him as town, it's all the more useful to lynch him, because then if he's mafia you have info on all the people who defended him
[16:29:34] ‹Espithel› So, for example. Your voting pattern tends to be "Lynch Espithel, follow dd/link"
[16:29:52] ‹RootRanger› ‹@MasterWalks› That you two are oftentimes on the same side
[16:29:53] ‹Espithel› This is a gross simplification
[16:29:58] ‹MasterWalks› because they have E X P E R I A N C E
[16:29:59] ‹ddevans96› sorry my philosophy is different than yours
[16:30:09] ‹Espithel› I have E X P E R I E N C E
[16:30:16] ‹ddevans96› I have no interesting in lynching my strongest town read
[16:30:24] ‹ddevans96› regardless of how erratic their play has been
[16:30:58] ‹RootRanger› weird person to pick for your strongest town read
[16:31:07] ‹ddevans96› I mean, it's Link's too
[16:31:10] ‹Espithel› ‹@ddevans96› Root wants to lynch you instead of MW because he uses "petty lynches" as the deciding factor between two different people to reduce bias.
[16:31:11] ‹Espithel› :^)
[16:31:14] ‹Linkcat› Guys, if shock is mine and dd's strongest townread, that dude's town lol.
[16:31:41] ‹MasterWalks› and dd is an orchestrater. Thats why i vote where he votes
[16:31:47] ‹RootRanger› ‹@Espithel› The lynch on MW would be the better play
[16:31:54] ‹Espithel› E X P E R I E N C E D O R C H E S T R A T O R
[16:31:55] ‹Calindu› ‹@RootRanger› I agree, I'm not moving my vote from shock, if he's town, I still think it's not that bad of a lynch
[16:32:08] ‹Espithel› ‹@RootRanger› I'm meming on a post he made earlier
[16:32:10] ‹Linkcat› Orchestrating is not a thing lmao
[16:32:21] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@Espithel› I love that
[16:32:22] ‹Linkcat› It's called a push.
[16:32:49] ‹MasterWalks› what is OMGUS?
[16:32:52] ‹ddevans96› and also - I think IW's roleblock on me was just as bad/suspicious as any roleblock shock has (allegedly) done
[16:32:55] ‹Espithel› OH MY GOD YOU SUCK
[16:32:57] ‹ddevans96› I maintain that
[16:33:01] ‹Espithel› Or, voting on people who don't like you
[16:33:15] ‹Espithel› Usually meaning voting on people who vote on you
[16:33:17] ‹MasterWalks› i love that too tbh
[16:33:18] ‹Espithel› Sort of like revenge
[16:33:21] ‹RootRanger› ‹@ddevans96› Yes but shock has done more than just roleblock
[16:33:26] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› this mafia is crazy. people are crazy. people are stupid. its so fun. im missing out. im jealous.
[16:33:33] ‹Calindu› Why would IW claim about guarding dd if he's mafia?
[16:33:36] ‹RootRanger› He solicited a GN counterclaim - if he'd succeeded it would have completely screwed us over
[16:33:38] ‹Espithel› Hey, given all the crazy shit Shock's managed to do
[16:33:50] ‹Espithel› I guess he *is* an e x p e r i e n c e d o r c h e s t r a t o r
[16:34:04] ‹Espithel› An orchestrator of chaos
[16:34:08] ‹Espithel› aha funnyjokeHELPME
[16:35:02] ‹MasterWalks› Here is the thing, I know insig fairly well. I talk to him quite a bit. His role claim and stuff is literally something he didnt think all the way through. He is a smart kid but he doesn think ahead very well
[16:35:04] ‹Calindu› If our GN was online at that point and didn't have that much experience, I'm pretty sure they would counterclaim
[16:35:05] ‹ddevans96› GN counterclaiming would have been bad, but it wouldn't have lost the game
[16:35:21] ‹MasterWalks› Look at last mafia. Look at his War bids.
[16:37:02] ‹Calindu› ‹@ddevans96› Really depends on whether shock is mafia or not, if he's mafia, it's not that bad, but if he's town and forced a GN counterclaim, I don't see us winning anymore from there
[16:37:04] ‹Linkcat› So you're saying Insig is a dumbass.
[16:37:15] ‹MasterWalks› no
[16:37:23] ‹MasterWalks› i said he is a smart kid
[16:37:27] ‹MasterWalks› just a bad planner
[16:37:56] ‹ddevans96› I just don't agree. I've seen games won with a seer/etc revealing early. it's risky, but we'd at least know shock is mafia, and get enough information from the GN to point to a second
[16:38:04] ‹ddevans96› to be clear: a GN counterclaim would have been very bad
[16:38:10] ‹ddevans96› just...not apocalpytic
[16:38:28] ‹Calindu› That's the thing, if shock is mafia and forcing a GN counterclaim, it's not game losing
[16:38:40] ‹RootRanger› shock is civ because he hasn't instigated an apocalypse that caused us to lose
[16:38:44] ‹Calindu› But if he's town and doing that, we just lose
[16:38:45] ‹RootRanger› yeet
[16:38:56] ‹ddevans96› that has nothing to do with my town read
[16:39:20] ‹Espithel› If shock was mafia
[16:39:24] ‹Espithel› Why would he force a GN counterclaim?
[16:39:34] ‹Espithel› That would practically require giant, humoungous testicles
[16:39:39] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› ‹@Espithel› are you typing up the part 2
[16:39:50] ‹ddevans96› which shock has shown he has. or, he's GN
[16:39:52] ‹ddevans96› *shrug*
[16:40:13] ‹MasterWalks› big balled shock
[16:40:17] ‹Espithel› ‹@Guest-Vulture-4afa1› AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
[16:40:19] • Espithel coughs
[16:40:22] ‹Espithel› Yes.
[16:40:29] ‹ddevans96› unless you think the only reason shock claimed GN is because I said I suspected he was GN
[16:40:29] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@Espithel›
[16:40:36] ‹Coffeeditto› you pinged me
[16:40:53] ‹Guest-MinorVampire-8edcc› You know
[16:40:56] ‹Espithel› ‹@Coffeeditto›
[16:40:58] ‹Espithel› ‹@Coffeeditto›
[16:40:59] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@Guest-MinorVampire-8edcc› stop right there
[16:41:00] ‹Espithel› ‹@Coffeeditto›
[16:41:03] ‹Guest-MinorVampire-8edcc› I literally said why I claimed GN in my info dump
[16:41:05] ‹ddevans96› still think him being GN or mafia is a more likely scenario than him being literally anything else
[16:41:06] ‹Espithel› Okay.
[16:41:09] ‹Espithel› I clearly need to calm down.
[16:41:12] ‹Guest-MinorVampire-8edcc› But I guess no one reads posts anymore
[16:41:18] ‹ddevans96› ‹@Guest-MinorVampire-8edcc› just part of your GN cover
[16:41:47] ‹Linkcat› I believe he is Flayer.
[16:41:52] ‹Calindu› I'm not sure why shock would ever claim GN like that, I don't even know what would happen this round if I didn't find an inconsistency with my rule
[16:41:53] ‹ddevans96› also - you misunderstood my sentence
[16:42:08] ‹ddevans96› because he thinks he knows the game better than anyone else
[16:42:09] ‹Guest-MinorVampire-8edcc› I have a fun game to play
[16:42:22] ‹ddevans96› or, if nothing else, he's acting like he thinks that
[16:42:40] ‹RootRanger› ‹@Guest-MinorVampire-8edcc› why would anyone read your posts
[16:42:41] ‹Guest-MinorVampire-8edcc› No one uses any abilities or talks at all and then we play the RNG game between GN Zand mafia
[16:43:14] ‹RootRanger› Civs did fine for 60+ mafias before shock came here to save the day
[16:43:16] ‹ddevans96› he's literally outright said that his posts are where he's actually playing the game
[16:43:30] ‹Calindu› ‹@Guest-MinorVampire-8edcc› I have used my abilities every single night and have been trying to discuss as much as possible, this is definitely not GN vs mafia
[16:43:46] ‹ddevans96› civs won by you abusing broken rulesets like ten mafias in a row
[16:43:47] ‹Guest-MinorVampire-8edcc› ‹@Calindu› but that’s what root wants
[16:43:52] ‹ddevans96› not by anyone else's skill
[16:43:55] ‹Guest-MinorVampire-8edcc› And roots been winning for 60+ mafia
[16:44:09] ‹ddevans96› feels like most other games, mafia won. forum mafia favors the mafia team
[16:44:15] ‹Wyand›
[16:44:37] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› wait what, shock has played 10 mafis here? since when?
[16:44:39] ‹Linkcat› Mafia has definitely been favored in the past in the absence of a broken setup.
[16:44:56] ‹Linkcat› Mafia has won because of some unbalanced setups too, though.
[16:44:58] ‹ddevans96› context clues, vulture
[16:44:59] ‹Calindu› Maybe I'm biased, but I'd rather trust Root than the person who forced me to info dump
[16:45:10] ‹RootRanger› Also
[16:45:17] ‹Linkcat› Or at least terrible mechanics that turned over the result.
[16:45:17] ‹ddevans96› he didn't force you to do anything. you made that decision
[16:45:29] ‹RootRanger› Kuro's mafia had 183 pages of content, all without shock forcing people to roleclaim
[16:45:48] ‹ddevans96› you fell for bait. like people are saying 'just ignore shock' and then...don't ignore shock
[16:45:54] ‹RootRanger› Calindu was forced because Linkcat was getting lynched under false pretenses
[16:46:00] ‹ddevans96› pick one side of the fence. lean into his style like I am, or completely ignore him
[16:46:01] ‹RootRanger› You were the one lynching him ddevans
[16:46:04] ‹Linkcat› That game was won based off of reads, not mechanics.
[16:46:16] ‹Calindu› ‹@ddevans96› I made that decision, because I didn't want Linkcat lynched based on a lie, and I also didn't want a GN counterclaim
[16:46:27] ‹PlayerOa› ‹@Guest-Vulture-4afa1› Poch to stay? Why would he leave?
[16:46:36] ‹Calindu› ‹@ddevans96› It's hard to ignore something like "I am GN, Linkcat is mafia"
[16:46:40] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› to win trophies XD
[16:46:46] ‹ddevans96› Linkcat wasn't getting lynched based on a lie, it was the first four hours of the phase
[16:46:51] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› like if a big club comes calling
[16:46:58] ‹ddevans96› you could have done it subtlety, or you could have waited
[16:47:00] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› but there isnt a big club coming calling anymore
[16:47:05] ‹PlayerOa› Well to who
[16:47:11] ‹Calindu› Because it didn't look like the bs post you normally see, it was a claim
[16:47:18] ‹PlayerOa› Man utd won't come for him atm anyway
[16:47:19] ‹ddevans96› [2019-06-01 17:23:52] ‹RootRanger› If we lynch shock and we're wrong, at least we stop getting roleblocked so much < when Cal claimed, my vote was not on Link, no
[16:47:23] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› yh, i realised that hes got no where to go
[16:47:30] ‹PlayerOa› yep
[16:47:30] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› all the big clubs have sorted their managers now
[16:47:40] ‹PlayerOa› Well juve
[16:47:41] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› id have said juve but seems like they got sarri
[16:47:50] ‹PlayerOa› But guess they won't go for poch
[16:47:51] ‹Calindu› ‹@ddevans96› I claimed before you voted though
[16:48:06] ‹ddevans96› yes. as I just said
[16:48:10] ‹PlayerOa› Yeah heard some talk about sarri-> juve
[16:48:15] ‹RootRanger› 1.) shock tries to lynch linkcat under false pretenses
[16:48:21] ‹ddevans96› uh, wrong copy-paste, sorry
[16:48:24] ‹RootRanger› 2.) Calindu disproves those pretenses
[16:48:36] ‹RootRanger› 3.) ddevans falls for them anyways?
[16:48:37] ‹ddevans96› [2019-06-01 17:45:54] ‹RootRanger› Calindu was forced because Linkcat was getting lynched under false pretenses < when Cal claimed, my vote was not on Link, no*
[16:48:41] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› did you see utd signed an ajax player???
[16:48:48] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› but it wasnt de ligt XD
[16:48:51] ‹RootRanger› ‹@ddevans96› Aye fair I missed that bit
[16:48:52] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› a 16 yo ):
[16:48:55] ‹ddevans96› didn't fall for anything
[16:49:01] ‹PlayerOa› Yeah noticed lol
[16:49:02] ‹Espithel› Okay, guys
[16:49:04] ‹Espithel› I can't
[16:49:10] ‹Espithel› Someone else will have to do chatlog
[16:49:11] ‹Espithel› Sorry
[16:49:15] ‹Espithel› My brain is dying
[16:49:20] ‹PlayerOa› ‹@Guest-Vulture-4afa1› Might be a good player, never heard of him though :sillyspin:
[16:49:31] ‹Calindu› I truly believe Linkcat would get lynched if I didn't roleclaim, and if Linkcat flips town, we lose
[16:49:34] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› yh no idea who he is, oh well lets see
[16:49:49] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› still need de ligt somehow, and a midfielder, and a striker, and a RB ):
[16:49:50] ‹ddevans96› the theory that led me to vote for Link, is that Link got his mafia buddy to target him with Anubis, and frame me for it if he turned scummy/flipped mafia
[16:49:55] ‹PlayerOa› Rip
[16:50:03] ‹Linkcat› So who's down to lynch math?
[16:50:05] ‹PlayerOa› Exiting summer ahead of us though
[16:50:12] ‹Espithel› Why lynch math?
[16:50:13] ‹Linkcat› Lol
[16:50:17] ‹MasterWalks› wait, why math?
[16:50:21] ‹Calindu› ‹@Linkcat› Inactivity lynch?
[16:50:22] ‹Espithel› The mafia's just gonna NK him anyway
[16:50:27] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› if we sign anyone that is q.q
[16:50:37] ‹Linkcat› If I had an Anubis teammate, you can bet your ass I would have had them target me Night 0.
[16:50:44] ‹ddevans96› is that weak? sure. do we have anything else to go on? not really, because we lynched iancu, who had no connections other than shock, who everyone claims to want to ignore and lynch but doesn't, instead of IW, with connections to me and Cal
[16:50:47] ‹PlayerOa› ‹@Guest-Vulture-4afa1› Lol, daniel james at least
[16:50:51] ‹PlayerOa› no world beater tho
[16:50:58] ‹RootRanger› Hm
[16:50:58] ‹Linkcat› Ain't no way I would be getting checked after not playing for two years.
[16:51:00] ‹RootRanger› It's something
[16:51:10] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› we are literally linked to every player out there
[16:51:11] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› even ronaldo
[16:51:14] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› ugh
[16:51:18] ‹ddevans96› I mean, yeah, which is why I'm not -pushing- it, per se
[16:51:33] ‹MasterWalks› lets just lynch espi so i can get out of this tunnel
[16:51:43] ‹ddevans96› but it was enough for me to want to pressure you
[16:51:47] ‹Linkcat› You know, I was happy when I thought you targeted me, and then you threw a vote on me lol.
[16:52:10] ‹PlayerOa› ‹@Guest-Vulture-4afa1› just have to wait and see I guess
[16:52:16] ‹ddevans96› another reason why - you were the one who pushed the lynch on me d1, which pretty much derailed town for two days (leading to the above scenario of us lynching iancu)
[16:52:24] ‹ddevans96› it's not a strong scumread, don't get me wrong
[16:52:25] ‹PlayerOa› I should definitely go sleep now though
[16:52:33] ‹Calindu› ‹@PlayerOa› The final was a whole new level of boring
[16:52:34] ‹Linkcat› ‹@Calindu› I think he's using his known recent inactivity as a cover.
[16:52:37] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› cya~
[16:52:43] ‹RootRanger› It's one of the better scumreads I've seen fwiw
[16:52:47] ‹PlayerOa› ‹@Calindu› Yeah I agree
[16:52:56] ‹Linkcat› The iancu lynch was ass.
[16:52:56] ‹Wyand› ‹@Calindu› gnight, dream with Unstable Gases :D
[16:53:00] ‹Linkcat› So was the JCJ lynch.
[16:53:01] ‹RootRanger› I agree with you somewhat on Link but still think you're missing the picture on shock
[16:53:09] ‹PlayerOa› ‹@Wyand› :(
[16:53:09] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› most exciting bit was the girl running on the pitch
[16:53:23] ‹Linkcat› You lynched two guys who didn't do anything scummy and weren't even around to defend themselves.
[16:53:26] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› imagine she injured salah xd
[16:53:31] ‹PlayerOa› ‹@Guest-Vulture-4afa1› Hahah won't disagree with that
[16:53:40] ‹Linkcat› And who had little interaction with others so we didn't even get much info.
[16:53:40] ‹Wyand› ‹@PlayerOa› sorry, I couldn't miss this one :) I will surely dream with Mitos :D
[16:53:53] ‹ddevans96› so we should have lynched IW, as I said
[16:53:55] ‹RootRanger› Idk, if shock turns Civ I'm open to the Link lynch after depending on what info turns up
[16:53:57] ‹Linkcat› And good players, too.
[16:54:05] ‹PlayerOa› ‹@Wyand› lulx
[16:54:05] ‹Linkcat› Insig is town though.
[16:54:06] ‹PlayerOa› luls
[16:54:07] ‹RootRanger› But to just ignore the shock lynch still doesn't make sense
[16:54:14] ‹Linkcat› No way he would claim as mafia.
[16:54:18] ‹Calindu› Well, I believe there's a good chance an inactive player is mafia
[16:54:20] ‹ddevans96› even disregarding my scumread on IW, that was a better lynch than iancu
[16:54:27] ‹PlayerOa› good night all
[16:54:29] ‹Calindu› Since the graboid role just makes it so easy to lay low
[16:54:37] ‹ddevans96› bc again - the only tie iancu had was shock, who is getting ignored*
[16:54:41] ‹ddevans96› *being talked about 24/7
[16:54:53] ‹RootRanger› he's being talked about because he's our best lynch option
[16:55:17] ‹ddevans96› I don't agree. I think he's town
[16:55:25] ‹Wyand› gnight all
[16:55:31] ‹Calindu› I only opted to lynch ian because I didn't want to lynch you anymore and a no lynch was terrible
[16:55:32] ‹MasterWalks› Alright, who is role claiming next>
[16:55:36] ‹Calindu› ‹@Wyand› Night
[16:55:39] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› (id really recomment someone doing chatlog before it becomes massive)
[16:56:07] ‹MasterWalks› ill show you massive
[16:56:13] ‹MasterWalks›
[16:56:17] ‹MasterWalks› oops
[16:56:23] ‹MasterWalks› i meant to draw massive dragon
[16:56:24] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› nub
[16:56:28] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› fail
[16:56:30] ‹ddevans96› ‹@Calindu› why iancu and not IW? were you townreading IW? if so, why?
[16:56:48] ‹Espithel› ‹@MasterWalks› Oh, by the way
[16:56:54] ‹Espithel› I didn't get roleblocked last night.
[16:56:56] ‹Espithel› :^)
[16:57:06] ‹ddevans96› or, conversely - were you scumreading iancu, and if so, why
[16:57:23] ‹MasterWalks› Oh so we are blocking GN but nor espi, THE ONE PERSON I ASKED TO BE BLOCKED??
[16:57:43] ‹Espithel› Woke take:
[16:57:44] ‹Espithel› I'm the GN
[16:57:45] ‹Espithel› :^)
[16:57:49] ‹Espithel› (Joke.)
[16:57:51] ‹Calindu› ‹@ddevans96› I believed the only way IW was mafia and lying about guard is if you were mafia as well
[16:57:56] ‹ddevans96› wrinkled brain
[16:58:32] ‹ddevans96› I've outlined why I disagree with that multiple times, so this conversation would get repetitive if I argued
[16:58:35] ‹ddevans96› but regardless, fair
[16:58:36] ‹Calindu› So if I didn't believe you were mafia anymore, I didn't see anything wrong about IW
[16:59:04] ‹Calindu› I don't know if it's wrong or not, but that's how I've seen it and still see it
[16:59:14] ‹ddevans96› it's fair to see it that way
[16:59:35] ‹Calindu› There's just no reason for IW to claim guard if he was mafia, it makes absolutely no sense
[16:59:37] ‹ddevans96› I think Coffee said on d1, just because I disagree doesn't mean I think you're wrong for thinking it
[16:59:42] ‹Espithel› Hey did you know there's two GNs in this game
[16:59:44] ‹Espithel› You've got the GN
[16:59:46] ‹ddevans96› no, it could make sense, in certain scenarios
[16:59:50] ‹Espithel› And then you've got the shitty Green Nymph
[16:59:55] ‹ddevans96› it'd be risky
[17:00:19] ‹ddevans96› but again, I don't think risky is the worst play for mafia in this setup
[17:01:17] ‹ddevans96› mostly, I just find it notable that I voted on IW for a very light reason, and he immediately went to roleblock me - could be legitimately thinking I was sus, yes
[17:01:30] ‹ddevans96› feels like....actually
[17:01:39] ‹ddevans96› wait. let me review some things over dinner
[17:01:42] ‹Linkcat› I think he was still scumreading you from Day 1.
[17:01:46] ‹Linkcat› Sorry
[17:02:11] ‹Calindu› I try to think about it logically and from a game optimal theory perspective, although a lot of things happened that don't really make sense
[17:02:45] ‹Calindu› But I agree that we can't lynch people making mistakes and misusing roles, because we'll get nowhere
[17:03:05] ‹ddevans96› hm. what I was thinking...it felt like IW knew I was right about him being mafia, so he panicked and went for the roleblock
[17:03:20] ‹ddevans96› but...if he was mafia, you would think he would discuss his actions with his team
[17:03:28] ‹ddevans96› if I think he roleblocked me out of panic
[17:03:40] ‹MasterWalks› I agree with dd on insig here.
[17:03:43] ‹ddevans96› that would actually be a towntell
[17:03:56] ‹MasterWalks› He did it out of panic as he doesnt think ahead
[17:04:12] ‹MasterWalks› well actually, that part of guarding you wasnt all that bad
[17:04:16] ‹ddevans96› lone town is more likely to use an action out of panic than grouped mafia, I think
[17:04:18] ‹MasterWalks› its the reveal that was a bad play
[17:05:02] ‹Calindu› ‹@ddevans96› Were you scumreading IW D1?
[17:05:06] ‹Calindu› I don't remember that
[17:05:08] ‹ddevans96› yes
[17:05:10] ‹ddevans96› very lightly
[17:05:42] ‹ddevans96› it wasn't exactly publicly clear that it was a very light read, however - just regular light
[17:06:10] ‹ddevans96› it was bc he voted on me immediately after Link's post, essentially
[17:06:27] ‹Calindu› Well, if he didn't have that much experience, I'm pretty sure he would see it as a survival game
[17:06:50] ‹Calindu› So it makes sense to target people that would want you lynched
[17:07:09] ‹Calindu› Because I clearly remember I did that mistake and threw a couple of games when I first started
[17:07:20] ‹ddevans96› Espithel (3) - MasterWalks, ddevans96, Linkcat MasterWalks (2) - kaempfer13, JonathanCrazyJ dawn to dusk (2) - iancudorinmarian, mathman101 JonathanCrazyJ (2) - moehrpi, RootRanger shockcannon (2) - Calindu, Espithel InsignificantWeeaboo (1) - InsignificantWeeaboo iancudorinmarian (1) - shockcannon
[17:07:26] ‹ddevans96› nice formatting
[17:07:36] ‹ddevans96› those were the votes immediately before Link moved his vote to me
[17:08:00] ‹ddevans96› Espithel (3) - MasterWalks, ddevans96, Linkcat || MasterWalks (2) - kaempfer13, JonathanCrazyJ || dawn to dusk (2) - iancudorinmarian, mathman101 || JonathanCrazyJ (2) - moehrpi, RootRanger || shockcannon (2) - Calindu, Espithel || InsignificantWeeaboo (1) - InsignificantWeeaboo || iancudorinmarian (1) - shockcannon
[17:08:07] ‹ddevans96› separated (sorry for double)
[17:08:22] ‹Calindu› Yeah, I see
[17:08:58] ‹ddevans96› then Link moved to me from Espi, and IW moved to me from himself
[17:09:10] ‹ddevans96› if Espi is town, I think that's favorable for both Link and IW
[17:09:16] ‹ddevans96› if Espi is mafia, I think the opposite
[17:09:46] ‹ddevans96› @Espithel thoughts?
[17:09:57] ‹MasterWalks› So when it is revealed that espi is mafia, thats bad for Link and insig?
[17:10:14] ‹MasterWalks› why exactly?
[17:10:31] ‹ddevans96› because Espi was the lead lynch at that time
[17:10:58] ‹MasterWalks› well i think Espi is mafia, but i still moved my vote
[17:11:09] ‹ddevans96› if he was mafia, it would make sense for them to try to direct the vote elsewhere - we would have to answer the question of why Link's vote was on him in the first place, though
[17:11:14] ‹ddevans96› so maybe it says nothing about Link
[17:11:30] ‹ddevans96› yeah, for that reason, I don't think it says anything about you either
[17:11:35] ‹Espithel› I think what happened there
[17:11:41] ‹Guest-MinorVampire-8edcc› I love how root tunnels more than MW and gets really salty
[17:11:44] ‹ddevans96› unless you did a lot of bussing
[17:11:46] ‹Guest-MinorVampire-8edcc› Makes for good entertainment
[17:11:48] ‹Calindu› I don't think the Espi train mattered at that point
[17:11:58] ‹Linkcat› That's what I was thinking lol. Like, I had to save him from the lead that I put him in?
[17:12:13] ‹ddevans96› it would be mega brain of you
[17:12:21] ‹ddevans96› so I can't discard it - but probably not
[17:13:17] ‹Espithel› Is Linkcat punished me for OwOing
[17:13:32] ‹Espithel› Then actually looked at the posts, then made a serious decision
[17:13:39] ‹ddevans96› the other votes on me were Cal (could mean something if Espi flips mafia, but I still townread), Espi (selfpres, and took off anyways), iancu (dead town), Mobian (did put the chain 'out of reach', seemed sure I would be lynched...hmmmmmmmmmm, maybe him too)
[17:14:11] ‹kaempfer13› ok 11 people who did not roleclaim, 4 of which I think i can softread and 1 of which i know cuz its mine
[17:14:23] ‹ddevans96› if Espi was mafia, I'd want to look at Mobian (and IW, but I've already established that)
[17:14:32] ‹kaempfer13› nobody claim a role before gn is revealed
[17:14:42] ‹MasterWalks› whats your soft reads?
[17:14:58] ‹Linkcat› We should have done that from the start.
[17:15:09] ‹ddevans96› if Espi is town - I would be comfortable saying that IW is just nervous town
[17:15:11] ‹Linkcat› Why would you ask him that lmao
[17:15:18] ‹kaempfer13› soft reads for secondary roles are bad to reveal i think
[17:15:23] ‹MasterWalks› lol im addicted to info
[17:15:28] ‹ddevans96› anyways, errands - MAKE SURE THIS GETS LOGGED
[17:15:33] ‹Guest-MinorVampire-8edcc› Root: “role claim is bad”. Also root: “everyone is 50/50 unless GN reveals”. Also Root: “we need to lunch every day”
[17:15:39] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› we should play chatfia rn
[17:15:43] ‹Guest-MinorVampire-8edcc› Root is an entropy main confirmed
[17:15:45] ‹ddevans96› ‹@kaempfer13› also, post your 'no more claims until GN is revealed' in the thread
[17:15:51] ‹ddevans96› so people not here hopefully see it and heed it
[17:16:30] ‹Calindu› I think claims are fine if it's strong info that leads to finding a mafia
[17:16:49] ‹Linkcat› Of course.
[17:16:53] ‹Guest-MinorVampire-8edcc› No secondary role can actually offer facts to find mafia other than GN
[17:16:56] ‹MasterWalks› I still think GN should reveal if they find 2 mafia
[17:17:09] ‹kaempfer13› 4 are mafia, so that leaves us with a 1/3 for gn to be found
[17:17:17] ‹Linkcat› That's a no-brainer too.
[17:17:20] ‹Calindu› I personally wanted to claim if I found a GN or GN target and saw focus on them in the thread
[17:17:23] ‹kaempfer13› 2 more claims and she will be found for sure
[17:17:38] ‹Calindu› Though I didn't find anything like that
[17:19:33] ‹InsignificantWeeaboo›
[17:20:09] ‹Calindu› I'd argue GN has to claim after N4 if they know 3 primary roles
[17:20:40] ‹Linkcat› ‹@Calindu› I would like you to make a rads list.
[17:20:46] ‹MasterWalks› I dont think they should if they only found town tho
[17:20:47] ‹Linkcat› reads*
[17:20:52] ‹kaempfer13› yh, she wont live beyond that with all those claims
[17:21:25] ‹MasterWalks› well actually i take that
[17:21:27] ‹MasterWalks› back
[17:22:00] ‹Calindu› I don't actually have any read list tbh, though I'd probably put most people as either neutral or lean town read
[17:22:36] ‹Linkcat› Any scumreads?
[17:22:54] ‹MasterWalks› Ill post rn but im not going to cut out all the SOCCER talk
[17:23:28] ‹Guest-Vulture-4afa1› that which i hunger for in the night is Frozen Panties
[17:23:43] ‹Calindu› Shock
Okay here is the best TL:DR i can do
coffee role reveals, lots and lots discussion around that. GN was blocked N0 so they are low on info. Lots of talk around shock being detrimental to town. Cal says he cant do scum reads since he doesnt know for a fact who is mafia. dd talks about vote hopping D1 and how that looks bad on Insig and Link. Everyone is pretty much split on whether or not insig is scum or not.
I'm sure im missing a lot here so someone wanna help TL:DR?
This is the list of people who voted on dd at some point during Day 2: Calindu, MasterWalks, InsignificantWeeaboo, Linkcat, kaempfer13, shockcannon
This is literally me and all of my townreads.
I do not believe any mafia voted on dd Day 2. Considering how strong of a player he is and how viable his lynch was, this throws up a huge red flag for me. There's no way mafia would totally ignore this opportunity. It only makes sense to me if dd is mafia. But first, we need to look at Day 1.
So my working theory right now is that the team is dd, Mobian, and two of the less active players, feud, Ginyu, moehrpi, math, and Coffee, most likely the ones voting on shock right now. This makes sense for a lot of what happened this game. If I'm wrong and dd is town, then kaempfer and Calin have a high chance of being mafia. We'll get a ton of information no matter what happens.
Why would mafia want to lynch me when I'm under suspicion every day? They can just let town continue to run circles around themselves and let town waste a round trying to lynch me, and inevitably allowing me to push a lynch elsewhere to save myself, that they can then influence if there are multiple other viable options.
Then your reads are bad. You basically said as much yourself - your reads are flawed, in that you currently have no mafia reads. You are coming to a conclusion when you know the premises leading to it are flawed.
Why would mafia want to lynch [he said in chat he meant to say lynch instead of NK] me when I'm under suspicion every day? They can just let town continue to run circles around themselves and let town waste a round trying to lynch me, and inevitably allowing me to push a lynch elsewhere to save myself, that they can then influence if there are multiple other viable options.
Also, I want to address this in thread, because I was frustrated about it in chat the other day - to the person/peoples who apparently thought that the first NK not going through and then me pushing the lynch to a GA was a scumread on me - that would be a horrible play for any mafia to make.
I don't agree. I think mafia has had a hand in influencing both lynches, which would suggest they're fairly active, with one low-activity player at most.
Also, I will point out that if I do flip town, your read on kae will have gone mafia, to town, to mafia again. I won't say this is terribly relevant, as a player of your caliber will know not to flip reads so suddenly without good reason, but I want to note it regardless.
Additionally - Linkcat, do you deny that it has, in the past, been a feature of your playstyle to, within the boundaries of supporting your team, play in a way that serves to create situations for your own amusement?
His first spoiler is pretty much nothing. Its about me complaining about posting stuff and finding about a mistake in my TL:DR. shock and Cal argue about what it means to be "bad town". Thats it.
Also, can I get a tl;dr of the chat logs in Link's post?
[17:23:43] ‹Calindu› Shock
[17:24:39] ‹Linkcat› Well I guess it's time to look at the vote log.
[17:25:18] ‹Calindu› But mostly because I find his play detrimental
[17:27:42] ‹shockcannon› i might have to make a post
[17:27:45] ‹shockcannon› even though I said I wouldn't
[17:27:59] ‹shockcannon› just to highlight the logical fallacies that calindu and root use to base all their arguments
[17:28:22] ‹MasterWalks› shit
[17:28:22] ‹shockcannon› although i suppose they could both be mafia
[17:28:29] ‹MasterWalks› i cant post chat log
[17:28:37] ‹MasterWalks› hit character limit
[17:28:45] ‹shockcannon› and using my "bad town" play as an excuse to lynch another town and keep attention away from mafia members
[17:29:10] ‹Calindu› I don't know if you are bad town or aggro mafia
[17:29:27] ‹shockcannon› same for you
[17:29:58] ‹shockcannon› You keep bringing up optimal strategy and assuming players are making the best possible moves
[17:30:15] ‹shockcannon› yet you support lynch every day, which I can mathematically prove is NOT optimal based on the strategy you describe as optimal
[17:31:20] ‹Calindu› I support lynch everyday because not lynching brings us 0 info and we lose a player to the night kill
[17:31:27] ‹shockcannon› lynching every day IS optimal if you
[17:31:39] ‹shockcannon› take "reads" into account
[17:31:44] ‹shockcannon› but you and root don't seem to value that
[17:31:58] ‹shockcannon› lynching every day brings 0 info as well
[17:32:06] ‹shockcannon› using the logic you use
[17:32:27] ‹shockcannon› if town plays optimally
[17:32:40] ‹shockcannon› then the optimal mafia play would be to use no abilities and talk just enough to not be modkilled
[17:32:53] ‹shockcannon› and to not vote
[17:33:04] ‹shockcannon› and if this happens, then lynching every day offers nothing
[17:33:04] ‹Linkcat› That's the optimal play if you want town to lose lol.
[17:33:10] ‹MasterWalks› gad damnit. I ended up having to edit out all the soccer stuff
[17:33:17] ‹Calindu› I might not have the best reads, and I might have strong opinions, but no way is forcing role claims and lying better
[17:33:17] ‹MasterWalks› Its posted tho
[17:33:45] ‹MasterWalks› AND there is a big ass youtube link in the middle
[17:33:51] ‹shockcannon› forcing role claims and lying alllows for reads to be used
[17:34:12] ‹shockcannon› i'm just making a post
[17:34:23] ‹shockcannon› if you want to argue statistics afterwards and look like a fool sure
[17:35:41] ‹Calindu› ‹@MasterWalks› I didn't say I can't do scumreads, I said I didn't have a read list and most of my list would lean town
[17:35:41] ‹MasterWalks› character limit is 65,000 characters if anyone wanted to know
[17:35:42] ‹kaempfer13› allowing lyers to live makes for reads to be way harder
[17:36:15] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@Calindu› wait, were you not the one that was all about that 50% town/mafia thing?
[17:36:50] ‹Calindu› ‹@MasterWalks› No, I don't remember saying anything like that
[17:36:50] ‹MasterWalks› shit, my bad. That was a lot to cover. You can go in and correct it in EBWOP.
[17:37:05] ‹MasterWalks› im getting root, you, and coffee all mixed up
[17:37:33] ‹MasterWalks› I was more worried about the character limit so i made the TL:DR as short as i could.
[17:37:49] ‹MasterWalks› Got names mixed up obv
[17:38:02] ‹Calindu› Yeah, no worries, mistakes happen
[17:38:53] ‹Calindu› Was worried you misunderstood me and people would just base everything off the TL;DR
[17:39:44] ‹MasterWalks› No it was root or coffee that was talking about 50% stuff. Ive been staring at this damn computer screen for like 9 hours straight. My brain is all jumbled
[17:40:01] ‹MasterWalks› And standing the whole time too since im at work
[17:41:12] ‹Coffeeditto› not me
[17:41:14] ‹Linkcat› It was Root.
[17:41:16] ‹Coffeeditto› I don't work in percentages[17:41:44] ‹shockcannon› i'm about to destroy root right now
[17:41:47] ‹shockcannon› half way through the post
[17:41:50] ‹shockcannon› hold on a few more minutes
[17:48:09] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@Calindu› Did the EBWOP
[17:48:39] ‹Calindu› ‹@MasterWalks› Cheers
[17:48:52] ‹kaempfer13› root said that there is no way to be more than 50% sure someone is mafia unless you are gn or town follows a strict ruleset that someone breaks (requires full cooperation) (the latter part was added by me, but i thinkit was implied)
[17:51:17] ‹MasterWalks› 10 more min and get to go home to stare at the computer again, only this time i can lay down. Two hips and a hooray
[17:54:24] ‹shockcannon› alsoo
[17:54:26] ‹shockcannon› when i post this
[17:54:28] ‹shockcannon› please read it
[17:54:35] ‹shockcannon› it seems a lot of you just don't read my posts
[17:54:37] ‹shockcannon› like root
[17:54:50] ‹shockcannon› where I already answered half the things he asked about today in my post yesterday
[17:58:08] ‹Calindu› I'll read it tomorrow, it's 2 am here and I'm going to sleep
[18:00:22] ‹shockcannon› i'm actually pretty frustrating with a lot of people
[18:00:34] ‹shockcannon› if you wanna lynch me for being chaotic
[18:00:36] ‹shockcannon› just say that
[18:00:46] ‹shockcannon› but don't use logical fallacies as your excuse for doing so
[18:29:42] ‹shockcannon› alright posted
[18:29:48] ‹shockcannon› knock yourselves out kids
[18:29:58] ‹shockcannon› ‹@kaempfer13› i suggest you read
[18:30:10] ‹shockcannon› maybe you'll stop being brainwashed by calindu and rootranger
[18:34:24] ‹Espithel› This is pretty meek.
[18:43:30] ‹shockcannon› also
[18:43:32] ‹shockcannon› if anyone wants to league
[18:43:36] ‹shockcannon› let me know
[18:45:35] ‹kaempfer13› meh, nothing much new and the correct conclusion is that lynch is far preferable over no lynch
[18:46:11] ‹kaempfer13› even if that by itself wont playout well
[18:46:16] ‹shockcannon› if you're assuming optimal play its not
[18:46:33] ‹shockcannon› lynching every day is fine for gaining info to create reads
[18:46:56] ‹shockcannon› but there's like 3 or 4 players here who insist on optimal town play, and that DOES NOT call for lynch every day
[18:46:59] ‹kaempfer13› if we assume optimal play only 1.5 roles matter for identifying
[18:47:17] ‹shockcannon› there are a lot of people here though who are assuming optimal play
[18:47:22] ‹shockcannon› and want town to do "optimal play"
[18:47:35] ‹kaempfer13› so that will never work out without the random successfull lynch
[18:47:36] ‹shockcannon› which would result in a 4 page thread with no interacting
[18:48:13] ‹shockcannon› random lynch just speeds things up for mafia
[18:48:24] ‹shockcannon› random lynching reduces the player count quicker
[18:48:39] ‹shockcannon› which gives golden nymph significantly knowledge
[18:48:48] ‹shockcannon› *significantly less knowledge
[18:48:58] ‹kaempfer13› random lynch is the most likely way to catch mafia
[18:49:01] ‹shockcannon› and increases the chances the golden nymph targets are killed before golden nymph can find 2-4 mafia
[18:49:33] ‹Linkcat› What shock is describing is exactly what would happen if 17 RootRangers played a game of mafia.
[18:49:49] ‹shockcannon› random lynch is the equally likely of a method to catching mafia as golden nymph
[18:49:57] ‹shockcannon› but it also works against the golden nymph mechanic
[18:49:59] ‹shockcannon› so yes
[18:50:04] ‹shockcannon› random lynch helps find mafia
[18:50:07] ‹shockcannon› but it hurts golden nymph
[18:50:10] ‹kaempfer13› golden nymph identifies half as many people as die, so counting on her is a losing play
[18:50:15] ‹shockcannon› so you're just losing what you gain
[18:50:42] ‹shockcannon› lynching every day means golden nymph identifies a quarter as many people as die
[18:50:53] ‹shockcannon› which is an even more losing play
[18:51:09] ‹Espithel› I'm really busy right now, so I'll address this in full later.
[18:51:48] ‹shockcannon› ALSO random lynching has the added negative of potentially voting up GN and either killing GN or forcing GN to reveal, which is killing GN
[18:51:50] ‹kaempfer13› yes, youre gonna want to get 1, maybe 2 lynches out of gn reveal and the rest has ro work out randomöy/through slipups
[18:52:17] ‹shockcannon› ‹@kaempfer13› exactly
[18:52:31] ‹shockcannon› but random lynching reduces the chances of GN find even 1 or 2 mafia
[18:52:38] ‹shockcannon› which means that the entire game becomes random lynching
[18:52:47] ‹shockcannon› so if you prefer that over the GN finds 1-2 mafia and then you do random
[18:52:48] ‹shockcannon› then sure
[18:52:55] ‹Espithel› But put simply, you argue that people should use tons of skills because, otherwise, the optimal mafia strat is to do nothing and say nothing.
[18:52:58] ‹kaempfer13› but not taking the shot while you have it is def a waste
[18:53:08] ‹Espithel› With no lynching, the same argument applies - the optimal mafia strat is to do nothing and say nothing.
[18:53:47] ‹kaempfer13› basically gn takes a lynchshot that most of the time will hit town just as well, just doesnt kill regardless of whether they hit mafia or not
[18:54:09] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Espithel› I just want to address people who are making claims about optimal strategy and then using logical fallacies in the midst
[18:54:41] ‹shockcannon› I really don't have the time, but if we assume optimal mafia and town play, no lynching is statistically the better option
[18:54:54] ‹shockcannon› I'm not going to waste my time running statistics that you guys won't even believe
[18:55:04] ‹shockcannon› but I made my point
[18:55:11] ‹shockcannon› this point isn't even related to me playing the mafia game
[18:55:40] ‹shockcannon› it's just people arguing false statistics
[18:55:53] ‹kaempfer13› so gn is half as powerfull as the regular lynch and everything else doesnt matter except for psychology
[18:56:24] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@shockcannon› gn can hot town and die before reveal you know
[18:56:46] ‹shockcannon› obviously
[18:56:53] ‹shockcannon› it's statistics
[18:56:56] ‹kaempfer13› and her odds are about the same as the lynch
[18:56:57] ‹shockcannon› anything is possible
[18:57:25] ‹shockcannon› random lynch is random
[18:57:29] ‹kaempfer13› but we get the lynch every round
[18:57:36] ‹shockcannon› GN is not random, and the only way that town gets any info
[18:57:46] ‹shockcannon› the more you lynch, the less GN you get
[18:57:53] ‹shockcannon› would you rather have more random, or less random?
[18:57:57] ‹MasterWalks› GN doesnt win the game
[18:58:07] ‹MasterWalks› You can lose GN N0 and still win
[18:58:11] ‹shockcannon› obviously gn doesn't win the game
[18:58:23] ‹shockcannon› do you guys get how statistics works?
[18:58:37] ‹shockcannon› you can also have GN never get killed and find all 4 mafia
[18:58:38] ‹MasterWalks› no
[18:58:50] ‹shockcannon›
[18:59:05] ‹shockcannon› i have an equal chance of rolling five 1s and five 9s
[18:59:15] ‹shockcannon› that doesn't make either of them likely
[18:59:41] ‹MasterWalks› rolling a 4, 9, 7, 5, 9 is also not likely
[18:59:45] ‹MasterWalks› but you just did it
[18:59:56] ‹MasterWalks› that couldve been a mafia lynch
[18:59:57] ‹shockcannon› its about odds
[19:00:00] ‹Espithel› ow
[19:00:03] ‹shockcannon› optimal play is about what happens the most
[19:00:04] ‹Espithel› ow that hurt walks
[19:00:46] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@Espithel› im sowy, i wont huwt you no mowre uwu
[19:00:51] ‹MasterWalks› that hurt to type
[19:00:57] ‹shockcannon› @anyone who wants to argue about optimal play: do some googling on how statistics works a bit
[19:01:31] ‹shockcannon› Optimal play is going to fail plenty of times
[19:01:39] ‹MasterWalks› What are the statistics google brings up the page i want about statistics?
[19:01:39] ‹shockcannon› but it's going to fail less than other strategies
[19:01:52] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@shockcannon› yes, I get how statistic works (I study it) and lynching is the right play
[19:02:20] ‹shockcannon› ‹@kaempfer13› okay
[19:02:25] ‹shockcannon› let's assume optimal play
[19:02:31] ‹shockcannon› lynching just gives us a shot at killing mafia
[19:02:49] ‹shockcannon› what the player turns after lynch means NOTHING because optimal play doesn't involve reads
[19:03:01] ‹kaempfer13› assuming gn lives until revealing!) no lynch=2deaths between a shot at mafia
[19:03:34] ‹MasterWalks› not lynching guarantees we dont kill a mafia
[19:03:58] ‹kaempfer13› lynch: 1 and a half deaths between a shot at mafia
[19:03:59] ‹shockcannon› not lyching gives GN more time, which is the only non-random factor in the game
[19:04:24] ‹MasterWalks› but keeps the chances of them finding mafia, which is just as low as lynching mafia
[19:04:49] ‹MasterWalks› Gn finding mafia is literally the same chance as lynching a mafia
[19:05:39] ‹shockcannon› its not
[19:05:54] ‹shockcannon› asssuming 19 people alive
[19:05:58] ‹shockcannon› GN has 1/18 shot
[19:06:03] ‹shockcannon› sorry
[19:06:04] ‹shockcannon› 4/18
[19:06:10] ‹shockcannon› if you lynch with 19 people alive
[19:06:12] ‹shockcannon› town has 4/19
[19:06:14] ‹kaempfer13› well mafia can modify those odds at first, but that will expose them later and is pretty much the whole point of the game
[19:06:18] ‹shockcannon› because town will be voting on each other
[19:06:21] ‹shockcannon› GN will never search itself
[19:06:36] ‹shockcannon› ‹@kaempfer13› mafia doesn't need to modify those odds
[19:06:51] ‹shockcannon› those odds are already above 50% for them to win
[19:07:01] ‹shockcannon› they just play the odds every game and they win more than they lose
[19:07:13] ‹kaempfer13› townfolk well never vote on themselves either other than us placeholder
[19:07:18] ‹MasterWalks› If i was GN, i would search myself to find out who i really am.
[19:07:27] ‹shockcannon› ‹@kaempfer13› but other town will vote on other town
[19:07:40] ‹shockcannon› so 14/19 players are non-GN, non mafia
[19:07:44] ‹shockcannon› they will vote completely randomly
[19:07:57] ‹shockcannon› GN will never wsate a seearch on themselves
[19:08:05] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@shockcannon› yes but each town will not vote themselves, so its still same odds
[19:08:06] ‹MasterWalks› but its not random
[19:08:19] ‹MasterWalks› its based around reads
[19:08:39] ‹kaempfer13› above response was just typed slowly and followup to what i said, not reaction to you
[19:08:53] ‹shockcannon› ‹@MasterWalks› did you even read my post
[19:09:01] ‹shockcannon› That's what i'm arguing in my post
[19:09:05] ‹MasterWalks› i skimmed it
[19:09:17] ‹Espithel› ow
[19:09:19] ‹Espithel› ow
[19:09:21] ‹Espithel› Walks please
[19:09:25] ‹Espithel› ow
[19:09:42] ‹shockcannon› ‹@kaempfer13› its not the same odds
[19:09:49] ‹shockcannon› in a lynch, all 19 players are fair game
[19:09:57] ‹shockcannon› at night, only 18 players are fair game for GN search
[19:10:06] ‹kaempfer13› no, you yourselves are not
[19:10:09] ‹shockcannon› ADDITIONALLY
[19:10:24] ‹shockcannon› if GN knows players that are alive and their primary role
[19:10:29] ‹shockcannon› GN odds increase as time goes on
[19:10:41] ‹kaempfer13› just because another town may vote you doesnt mean that they in turn would vote themselves
[19:10:42] ‹shockcannon› ‹@kaempfer13› i realize that
[19:10:56] ‹shockcannon› you're thinking about it from a single player's point of view
[19:11:07] ‹shockcannon› think of it overall
[19:11:23] ‹shockcannon› during the day, the odds a mafia gets voted up is 4/19
[19:11:28] ‹shockcannon› 19 players are fair game for voting
[19:11:35] ‹kaempfer13› if each town only has to look at 18 players, all of them do
[19:11:56] ‹kaempfer13› its so obvious its almost circular logic
[19:13:12] ‹shockcannon› yes
[19:13:23] ‹shockcannon› but we're assuming all players vote randomly on someone not themselves
[19:13:35] ‹shockcannon› this also leaves room for a two top voted players to tie
[19:13:39] ‹shockcannon› which would lead to no lynch
[19:13:57] ‹shockcannon› and if everyone revotes between the tied players, that's changing the odds
[19:14:10] ‹shockcannon› ALSO, GN has odds to be voted up, which then loses any advantage you had
[19:14:23] ‹shockcannon› and makes it all ENTIRELY random
[19:14:25] ‹Linkcat› ‹@MasterWalks› The entire point of his post is that if everyone didn't try to make reads and played like Root wants us to play, then the game would be stupid and boring, so we shouldn't play that way.
[19:14:40] ‹MasterWalks› Oh
[19:14:45] ‹MasterWalks› well i agree with shock then
[19:16:53] ‹Espithel› I am rubbing off on Walks way too much
[19:16:55] ‹Espithel› I need to stop
[19:18:42] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@shockcannon› tiebreaking doesnt change the odds so long as its done randomly and gn ability only gets marginally better post n3 (assuming no blocks) than just lynch, which is easily outdone by the fact that gn is susceptible to a number of things
[19:19:05] ‹kaempfer13› and there is simply no reason not to lynch when there is nothing better
[19:19:40] ‹shockcannon› keeping GN alive longer is better
[19:19:45] ‹kaempfer13› no lynch is also stupid for playing the game properly, since thats where all the mindgames happen
[19:20:06] ‹shockcannon› ‹@kaempfer13› playing the game proplery or optimally?
[19:20:06] ‹kaempfer13› so stop arguig for it or use legitimate math
[19:20:13] ‹shockcannon› because playing the game optimally involves 0 mindgames
[19:20:34] ‹shockcannon› the legitimate math is lynching negates the advantages of GN
[19:20:42] ‹Linkcat› Guys, what type of boring play is optimal is not even relevant to the point.
[19:20:48] ‹Linkcat› There's no use arguing about it.
[19:20:51] ‹shockcannon› GN gets lets chances to investigate over the course of the game
[19:21:08] ‹kaempfer13› which i have proven is roughly half as good as using the damn lynch
[19:21:10] ‹shockcannon› and town likely kills off GN confirmed targets
[19:21:16] ‹shockcannon› its not
[19:21:55] ‹shockcannon› Not lynching until GN reveals or GN dies will work out better more often than random lynching every day
[19:22:10] ‹shockcannon› there will be plenty of times when it fails
[19:22:17] ‹shockcannon› but random lynching also fails a heck ton
[19:22:36] ‹DoubleCapitals› I'll compile this once y'all are done
[19:23:14] ‹shockcannon› ‹@kaempfer13› you do realize, I don't give a crap about optimal play right?
[19:24:22] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@DoubleCapitals› Hey can you update OP to link to this current phase please
[19:25:43] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Linkcat› hey
[19:25:50] ‹Linkcat› Yo
[19:25:50] ‹shockcannon› i dont know if you're a town or not
[19:25:51] ‹DoubleCapitals› I am not authorized to edit Submachine's posts
[19:26:21] ‹shockcannon› but i don't like get yelled for not playing boring
[19:26:26] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@shockcannon› its fine to have fun, but you refuse the very basics of mafia and math alike
[19:26:58] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@DoubleCapitals› ahh damn ok
[19:27:09] ‹shockcannon› ‹@kaempfer13› i'm not going to continue to argue statistics
[19:27:22] ‹shockcannon› Also, I can almost guarantee I have played more mafia than everyone on this forum combined
[19:27:34] ‹shockcannon› so if you wanna argue experience go ahead
[19:27:45] ‹shockcannon› granted, haven't played with this whack rulest
[19:27:45] ‹MasterWalks› well i dont believe that one bit
[19:28:09] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@Espithel› he said the word we like
[19:28:19] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@shockcannon› wow, how often do you live past day 2 (assuming you play with strangers)?
[19:28:25] ‹Espithel› E X P E R I E N C E
[19:28:30] ‹MasterWalks› E X P E R I E N C E
[19:28:50] ‹Espithel› I'm not even taking the piss
[19:28:53] ‹Espithel› It's just a fun thing to say
[19:29:47] ‹shockcannon› How long someone lives in a mafia game means nothing
[19:29:50] ‹shockcannon› how often they win does
[19:30:07] ‹shockcannon› let's assume mathman101 is town
[19:30:11] ‹shockcannon› is he helping town right now?
[19:30:59] ‹MasterWalks› we went from orchestrate to experience. Now the next word will be O P T I M A L
[19:31:49] ‹shockcannon› ‹@kaempfer13› feel free to follow root
[19:31:55] ‹kaempfer13› the only reason you live to day 3 is because we had to accept that just bc you play abyssmally doesnt mean your mafia out of e x p e r i e n c e (yh i forced that word in there)
[19:32:03] ‹shockcannon› he had literally everyone's info last game as ash and lynched like 4 straight town
[19:32:50] ‹shockcannon› you think i play abyssmally because you think there's only one way to play this game
[19:32:57] ‹Espithel› The next word is H O N O U R A B L E F I F T H
[19:34:11] ‹kaempfer13› apparently at least one of them lied/omitted info and noone explained to them that there is literally no reason not to pm a confirmed town everything you have
[19:34:45] ‹kaempfer13› (unless pms are banned ofc)
[19:35:41] ‹shockcannon› actually someone in chat said they did give root everything and root said he missed a message[19:37:37] ‹shockcannon› Because there's is literally only 1 role (minus the rare chance of GA protection) that can find mafia in this ruleset, chaos is required to force conversations and role claims that allow for reads to give town the edge
[19:37:47] ‹Linkcat› Everybody he voted for lied or didn't give him information, except Sub and the person you mentioned who I think was iancu.
[19:37:58] ‹shockcannon› if you look at any other mafia game out there that has 15+ players, there are multiple ways to find mafia
[19:38:34] ‹kaempfer13› last mafia there was also the firefly role
[19:38:36] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Linkcat› not ture
[19:38:38] ‹Linkcat› You don't need random role claims to make reads, that's the main thing you're wrong about. You only need to claim when you find something suspicious.
[19:38:38] ‹shockcannon› *true
[19:39:00] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Linkcat› but you'll never find anything suspicious with this ruleset unless someone misplays
[19:39:11] ‹shockcannon› And I addressed misplays in my post
[19:39:14] ‹Linkcat› None of the claims this game fit that category.
[19:39:48] ‹shockcannon› but insig claim for example
[19:39:57] ‹shockcannon› is a misplay in that he blocked when we said he shouldn't block
[19:40:07] ‹shockcannon› so that claim stemmed from a misplay itself
[19:40:10] ‹shockcannon› along with anubis
[19:40:17] ‹shockcannon› along mind flayers
[19:40:21] ‹shockcannon› along with otyughs
[19:40:26] ‹Linkcat› They don't necessarily have to misplay, you read based off of tone, votes, who pushes who, who defends who, etc.
[19:40:52] ‹Linkcat› It's all a bunch of bullshit in the beginning and then it gets figured out later on.
[19:40:59] ‹shockcannon› if you're able to read off tones, votes, and pushes, then someone's misplaying
[19:41:00] ‹Linkcat› That's what I'm trying to do with my recent post.
[19:41:27] ‹Linkcat› We have enough information for me to make a possible full reading of the game.
[19:41:42] ‹shockcannon› i wonder who got that information to come out
[19:41:43] ‹Linkcat› If I'm wrong then I'll have to reevaluate with the new information gained.
[19:42:19] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Linkcat› i'm dying today
[19:42:21] ‹Linkcat› Not you lol, I'm basing everything off of votes and tone reads.
[19:42:26] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@Linkcat› im not sure about this
[19:42:34] ‹Linkcat› I'll try my best to not have that happen.
[19:43:01] ‹kaempfer13› hammering dd in any harderwhen hed flip town would call the overkillvoter into question
[19:43:29] ‹kaempfer13› so mafia at that point probably just thought, let em do it
[19:43:50] ‹kaempfer13› and then we just didnt
[19:44:19] ‹kaempfer13› which ishonestly worse for us as now that topic will never go away
[19:44:43] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Linkcat› youre reads should come from who in chat is trying to mislead everyone
[19:45:41] ‹Linkcat› I don't understand what you're trying to say, kaempfer.
[19:46:08] ‹shockcannon› ‹@MasterWalks›
[19:46:23] ‹kaempfer13› if dd had 6 townvotes at the time, mafia could just sit back
[19:46:59] ‹shockcannon› @MasterWalks I think it's time the "bad townies" teamed up and made a move
[19:47:12] ‹shockcannon› we alone could probably get someone lynched
[19:47:13] ‹kaempfer13› there was no need for them to push further
[19:47:15] ‹Linkcat› I don't believe that a town dd had 5 or 6 votes who were all town.
[19:47:22] ‹Linkcat› Mafia would 100% be on there somewhere.
[19:48:55] ‹kaempfer13› dd had just gotten someone from town killed (out of selfdefense) and with nothing much else to go by everyone voted him
[19:49:25] ‹shockcannon› @Espithel
[19:49:42] ‹shockcannon› @Coffeeditto
[19:49:48] ‹Linkcat› Yes, so mafia would push that.
[19:49:55] ‹shockcannon› would you two make a move on Mobian with me?
[19:50:06] ‹Espithel› Mobian, eh?
[19:50:21] ‹Espithel› Any particular reason why?
[19:51:30] ‹shockcannon› questionable voting
[19:51:34] ‹shockcannon› relatively quiet
[19:51:35] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@shockcannon› not mobian but im down to lynch dd
[19:51:36] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@shockcannon›
[19:51:41] ‹shockcannon› ian voted on him
[19:51:50] ‹MasterWalks› he doesnt have questionable voting imo
[19:51:58] ‹shockcannon› once said, "do you really think I'd get mafia two games in a row?"
[19:52:11] ‹shockcannon› ‹@MasterWalks› he's literally voting on you now
[19:52:11] ‹MasterWalks› who cares if ian voted him. ian is dead and not GN
[19:52:15] ‹shockcannon› and he voted ian last round
[19:52:20] ‹MasterWalks› i dont care if hes voting me
[19:52:26] ‹kaempfer13› 6 votes seemed pretty final and only after that things changed too quickly for a team to react to it
[19:52:57] ‹MasterWalks› he has every right to. I have voting patterns apparently. Doesnt look like he has a following so i have no reason to defend either
[19:53:03] ‹shockcannon› okay
[19:53:04] ‹shockcannon› what about moehrpi
[19:53:11] ‹shockcannon› i've thought he's mafia since n0
[19:53:15] ‹shockcannon› that hasn't changed
[19:53:16] ‹MasterWalks› what about dd
[19:53:25] ‹shockcannon› I havne't pushed because I know i'd get 0 support
[19:54:42] ‹MasterWalks› yea ad i thought espi is mafia since N0 as well and that also hasnt changed but no one will lynch him
[19:55:00] ‹shockcannon› eh
[19:55:04] ‹shockcannon› are you mafia?
[19:55:29] ‹shockcannon› espithel's dump never came
[19:55:33] ‹shockcannon› i'll switch to espithel
[19:55:34] ‹MasterWalks› probably not
[19:55:35] ‹shockcannon› we get moehrpi tomorrow
[19:55:39] ‹shockcannon› get insig to join us
[19:55:42] ‹shockcannon› bad townies unite
[19:55:43] ‹kaempfer13› normally i would expect those emergency votes to indeed come from mafia to safe a buddy, but it was different people saving him
[19:55:50] ‹shockcannon› there's so many bad townies we wont get outvoted
[19:55:59] ‹MasterWalks› i cant PM insig about mafia and he doesnt talk to me in publi
[19:56:02] ‹MasterWalks› public
[19:56:24] ‹shockcannon› alright
[19:56:30] ‹shockcannon› i'm on espithel now
[19:56:40] ‹MasterWalks› get on that d
[19:56:41] ‹MasterWalks› dd
[19:56:49] ‹shockcannon› nah
[19:56:55] ‹shockcannon› i've giving you your chance
[19:57:00] ‹Espithel› My dump never came because coffee made it absolutely pointless.
[19:57:05] ‹shockcannon› take it or leave it
[19:57:28] ‹Espithel› I can get back to it if you want, though. I'd have to sleep now to get it done before deadline.
[19:57:34] ‹Linkcat› ‹@shockcannon› No, move to Espi.
[19:57:37] ‹Linkcat› I mean dd
[19:58:33] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@Espithel› uh?
[19:58:50] ‹Linkcat› ‹@Coffeeditto› Why are you voting shock? He's town.
[19:59:21] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@Linkcat› Why do you believe that?
[19:59:34] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Linkcat› let them vote me
[19:59:42] ‹Linkcat› I read his posts.
[19:59:46] ‹shockcannon› I'm exposing the ACTUAL bad townies and a couple maf right now
[19:59:51] ‹Coffeeditto› Great.
[20:00:44] ‹Linkcat› Especially this one: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-game...
[20:00:51] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Linkcat› town would rather see me die and lose so they can blame my poor play than actually win the game at this point
[20:00:53] ‹Linkcat› That's the towniest shit I've ever seen.
[20:01:58] ‹Coffeeditto› how?
[20:02:16] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@shockcannon› I thought you were town until one line
[20:02:37] ‹Coffeeditto› [22:46:59] ‹shockcannon› @MasterWalks I think it's time the "bad townies" teamed up and made a move
[20:02:56] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Linkcat› ‹@MasterWalks› I need like 99% certainty ddevans is maf for me to switch to him
[20:03:00] ‹Linkcat› I would watch that movie.
[20:03:29] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Coffeeditto› so what are you hoping for?
[20:03:30] ‹shockcannon› i flip mafia
[20:03:37] ‹shockcannon› and then masterwalks becomes easy lynch
[20:03:39] ‹Coffeeditto› I'm not hoping for anything
[20:03:46] ‹Coffeeditto› I don't hope for anything in games like this
[20:03:59] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@shockcannon› read my vote and see why you should lynch dd
[20:04:28] ‹Coffeeditto› My desires and expectations are not getting in the way of my win condition. I'm not doing this for any reason other than trying to win
[20:04:35] ‹kaempfer13› alright I cant watch this
[20:04:45] ‹Linkcat› ‹@kaempfer13› I honestly don't understand the sentences you're making. Do you believe it's possible that dd was up for lynch as town Day 2 and not a single mafia voted for him?
[20:04:59] ‹Coffeeditto› My current scum reads are Link/Shock/Master/unknown
[20:05:08] ‹kaempfer13› if this is another day where dd has 6 votes on him Ill make sure he actually dies so we can finally move on
[20:05:25] ‹Linkcat› Thanks, I guess.
[20:05:38] ‹Coffeeditto› you wanted reads, Link
[20:05:39] ‹Linkcat› Coffee, why do you think I'm mafia?
[20:05:43] ‹Coffeeditto› there are your reads
[20:05:54] ‹Linkcat› Your reads are ass.
[20:05:58] ‹Coffeeditto› I don't have to say. I reserve my 5th amendment rights
[20:05:59] ‹kaempfer13› but pushing him constantly allows everyone else to just chill and 2 towns die with each lynch opportunity
[20:06:06] ‹Coffeeditto› that's a fallacy
[20:07:07] ‹Linkcat› Not if we lynch him.
[20:07:21] ‹kaempfer13› how are we going to get reads of other people if all that matters is there opinion about ahock and dd?
[20:07:47] ‹kaempfer13› oh boy horrible grammar sorry
[20:07:48] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@shockcannon› ‹@Linkcat› Heres is what we should do. Lets pressure moe or espi until they reveal something, then lets vote hop to dd and get the lynch
[20:08:05] ‹Linkcat› I believe that when we lynch dd as mafia we'll be able to make a lot of reads.
[20:08:12] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@kaempfer13› if dd or shock are mafia, then the reactions of others throughout the game to their respective lynchings provides info
[20:08:32] ‹Linkcat› How about we stop trying to get people to reveal information to the mafia?
[20:08:34] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@MasterWalks› that line is scummy as hell??
[20:08:39] ‹Coffeeditto› why would you try to reveal
[20:08:41] ‹Coffeeditto› yeah
[20:08:45] ‹Coffeeditto› agreed, LInk
[20:09:00] ‹MasterWalks› not role reveal necessarily
[20:09:13] ‹MasterWalks› okay no that line is scummy af
[20:09:18] ‹Linkcat› ‹@Coffeeditto› YOU JUST CLAIMED YOUR ROLE AND ALL YOUR TARGETS FOR LITERALLY NO REASON
[20:09:28] ‹Linkcat› I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THIS FROM YOU
[20:09:31] ‹shockcannon› if one you knows the identity of a mind flayer thats not me, you should reveal
[20:09:34] ‹Coffeeditto› there's no reason to vote and pressure info out of someone right now instead of just pushing a full lynch on them. especially when you just let everyone know you won't actually lynch espi, then he feels no need to reveal any info
[20:09:34] ‹shockcannon› because that person is mafia
[20:09:41] ‹MasterWalks› id delete if it wasnt about mafia. just ignore that
[20:09:49] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@Linkcat› don't let your emotions or preconceptions get in the way of your playing mafia.
[20:10:08] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Coffeeditto›
[20:10:11] ‹Coffeeditto› what I did has nothing to do with what we are doing right now
[20:10:14] ‹shockcannon› everyone voting me is letting their emotions get in the way
[20:10:19] ‹Espithel› ‹@Coffeeditto› Can I just say I hope you don't get modkilled
[20:10:25] ‹Espithel› I like you
[20:10:26] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@shockcannon› that's not true at all
[20:10:42] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@Linkcat› what do we get if dd is town?
[20:10:43] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@Espithel› thank you chief
[20:11:15] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Coffeeditto› half the people voting me admit that they think i'm town
[20:11:27] ‹MasterWalks› we get to lynch linkcat for O R C H E S T R A T I N G
[20:11:33] ‹Coffeeditto› great. don't say everyone if you don't mean everyone
[20:11:37] ‹Linkcat› ‹@kaempfer13› We get fill in a heck of a lot of that vote chart with green.
[20:11:42] ‹Coffeeditto› because you don't know everyone's motives
[20:11:53] ‹Coffeeditto› also, in reference to:
[20:11:59] ‹Coffeeditto› [23:09:34] ‹shockcannon› because that person is mafia
[20:12:11] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@Linkcat› how so?
[20:12:16] ‹Linkcat› And then I'll push a lynch on you, Calin, or Mobian.
[20:12:43] ‹Coffeeditto› that doesn't change that now he knows he wouldn't be lynched if your ulterior goal is to lynch dd. he would feel no need to reveal info unless you were okay and willing to lynch him, which would mean that you scumread both espi and dd
[20:12:43] ‹Linkcat› We make every dd green and he'd be a leading wagon all three days.
[20:13:04] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Coffeeditto› why would i be roleblocked by town after claiming GN
[20:13:16] ‹kaempfer13› green would mean that you think everyone that either did or didnt vote dd is town
[20:13:33] ‹kaempfer13› but you just said mafia would push for a dd lynch
[20:13:38] ‹MasterWalks› lol everyone is mafia
[20:14:00] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@shockcannon› how is that line relevant to the current conversation?
[20:14:09] ‹Linkcat› ‹@kaempfer13› Yes, I don't think we're going to fill in his name as green.
[20:14:14] ‹kaempfer13› so if hes green we can expect about 1 or 2 mafia among the votes according to your premises
[20:14:22] ‹shockcannon› [23:11:59] ‹Coffeeditto› [23:09:34] ‹shockcannon› because that person is mafia
[20:14:32] ‹Linkcat› Yes.
[20:15:15] ‹kaempfer13› but it could be any of them
[20:15:59] ‹Coffeeditto› okay check this out. if you're mafia, then you could have claimed GN and faked being roleblocked
[20:16:16] ‹kaempfer13› sure dd is mentioned a lot, but just filling his name green alone doesnt take us that far
[20:16:19] ‹Linkcat› A lot of those people are being townread by me or are me so that will narrow it down a lot.
[20:16:24] ‹Coffeeditto› if someone else claimed to have roleblocked you, they also could be a lying mafia
[20:16:28] ‹Linkcat› Plus everything we would get from the votes today.
[20:16:38] ‹MasterWalks› i dont understand what everyone means by green
[20:16:55] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Coffeeditto› okay check this out
[20:17:08] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@MasterWalks› its convention to mark confirmed towmmembers with green
[20:17:10] ‹shockcannon› literally anyone else who role claimed could've lied
[20:17:16] ‹shockcannon› and had their mafia teammate be their target and lie
[20:17:16] ‹kaempfer13› as I did in my lynchlog
[20:17:20] ‹Coffeeditto› yeah, you right
[20:17:22] ‹Coffeeditto› so what?
[20:17:25] ‹kaempfer13› (they are all dead)
[20:17:46] ‹MasterWalks› oh, so we can assume that everyone who voted dd is "green" meaning they are town? That makes no sense to me
[20:17:54] ‹Linkcat› ‹@kaempfer13› It will take us farther than anyone else's name being filled in green, and if he's red like I expect then that'll take us way farther than anyone else's name being filled in red.
[20:18:08] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@MasterWalks› no just dd will flip town
[20:18:15] ‹MasterWalks› oh ok
[20:18:35] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Coffeeditto› do you think i'm mafia
[20:18:48] ‹shockcannon› or do you think lynching me is your best shot at winning regardless of if im mafia?
[20:19:25] ‹Espithel› ‹@MasterWalks› We have another memeword now
[20:19:33] ‹kaempfer13› i argue thats not enough
[20:19:34] ‹Espithel› W E A K T O W N
[20:19:47] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@Espithel› O P T I M A L is still my vote
[20:19:56] ‹MasterWalks› weaktown is good too tho
[20:20:06] ‹MasterWalks› but hasnt been said enough
[20:20:06] ‹shockcannon› ‹@MasterWalks› give me your reason why espithel is mafia
[20:20:12] ‹shockcannon› because if the three of us teamed
[20:20:21] ‹shockcannon› we can make something happen and ignore town and mafia distractions
[20:20:25] ‹Linkcat› ‹@kaempfer13› Who do you want to lynch, then?
[20:20:28] ‹Linkcat› Push a read.
[20:20:43] ‹MasterWalks› its in my Day 1 votes
[20:20:47] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Linkcat› i have an idea
[20:21:04] ‹shockcannon› do you agree that mafia is likely guiding town attention and voting?
[20:21:22] ‹Linkcat› No, I think mafia is mostly hanging back.
[20:21:39] ‹shockcannon› then we gather the 8 most quiet people
[20:21:42] ‹shockcannon› and we 1d8
[20:21:44] ‹shockcannon› and go for it
[20:21:48] ‹MasterWalks› i dont know about that.
[20:22:02] ‹Espithel› ‹@MasterWalks› W E A K T O W N playing S U B O P T I M A L L Y
[20:22:03] ‹shockcannon› its the O P T I M A L play
[20:22:12] ‹shockcannon› 50/50 chance
[20:22:13] ‹Linkcat› I don't believe in lynching randomly in a group.
[20:22:15] ‹shockcannon› it doesn't get better than that
[20:22:21] ‹MasterWalks› quiet people are already getting killed off. mafia will paint themself into a corner if they are being quiet and killing the quiet
[20:22:24] ‹Linkcat› I tried to push math and nobody followed.
[20:22:34] ‹Coffeeditto› [23:18:48] ‹shockcannon› or do you think lynching me is your best shot at winning regardless of if im mafia?
[20:22:42] ‹Coffeeditto› both of these things are not mutually exclusive
[20:22:55] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@Linkcat› afk or quiet does not mean mafia
[20:23:05] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@MasterWalks› basically you believe that a secondary role (randomly given to mafia and town alike) and a rule question expose him
[20:23:08] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Coffeeditto› i'm 99% certain 1 of the 5 people voting on me now is mafia
[20:23:19] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@shockcannon› why?
[20:23:40] ‹shockcannon› think about it
[20:23:42] ‹Linkcat› ‹@Coffeeditto› I know, I just wanted him to talk.
[20:23:43] ‹Espithel› ‹@MasterWalks› That's your reasoning for me?
[20:23:45] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@kaempfer13› wait what? when did i say that
[20:23:46] ‹Espithel› The day one stuff?
[20:23:50] ‹Espithel› It's day 3
[20:23:51] ‹Espithel› C'mon
[20:23:53] ‹Espithel› Update your shit
[20:23:54] ‹shockcannon› the town move is to vote on me
[20:23:55] ‹Linkcat› All we got was a vote on the leading train and my biggest townread.
[20:23:58] ‹shockcannon› i hurt town
[20:24:00] ‹Espithel› I must've done something spooky since then
[20:24:01] ‹Linkcat› Pretty scummy if you ask me.
[20:24:04] ‹shockcannon› so what's the mafia blend in play?
[20:24:08] ‹shockcannon› it's to vote on me also
[20:24:42] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@MasterWalks› you asked for a roleblock and sth about espi being ffq if hes mafia
[20:24:43] ‹Coffeeditto› [23:23:40] ‹shockcannon› think about it
[20:24:44] ‹shockcannon› and suppose Linkcat is town and is on to something
[20:24:44] ‹Espithel› Not necessarily.
[20:24:56] ‹kaempfer13› it didnt really make sense for sure
[20:24:56] ‹shockcannon› well if they get my vote count high
[20:24:59] ‹shockcannon› town is going to ignore LInkcat
[20:25:00] ‹Espithel› ‹@shockcannon› I think the mafia love you.
[20:25:11] ‹Espithel› Look at how they're lynching - quiet people.
[20:25:18] ‹Linkcat› ‹@shockcannon› I think there's 2 mafia on you.
[20:25:18] ‹shockcannon› no one cares about a single vote on someone when someone else has 5 votes
[20:25:19] ‹Coffeeditto› if your argument is that the people left alive makes that statistically true, then you're statistically incorrect
[20:25:25] ‹Espithel› It implies a contentness with how the town is going.
[20:25:26] ‹Coffeeditto› also please answer instead of dodging
[20:25:40] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Coffeeditto› i just answered why
[20:25:45] ‹Coffeeditto› [23:23:42] ‹Linkcat› ‹@Coffeeditto› I know, I just wanted him to talk.
[20:25:56] ‹shockcannon› what am I dodging?
[20:26:03] ‹MasterWalks› ok. You want to know how mafia is playing? Literally look how espi is playing. but there is a problem. No one is playing like him. My guess is mafia is "splitting up" and taking on different strategies. One is probably quiet, one is super talkative (espi), one is playing strategically, and the last one is probably playing dumb
[20:26:08] ‹shockcannon› mafia is voting on me to make other votes irrelevant
[20:26:31] ‹Coffeeditto› voting on someone to reveal info is something you fought against half an hour ago
[20:26:40] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@shockcannon› but you don't know that
[20:26:43] ‹Linkcat› ‹@shockcannon› Move to dd and make them pay attention.
[20:26:48] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@kaempfer13› espi being FFQ i fell back on. I thought about it more and dunno if thats true. i DO think he is mafia so therefore i want him blocked
[20:26:49] ‹Coffeeditto› and you're acting like this is all certain
[20:26:53] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Coffeeditto› obviously
[20:26:56] ‹Linkcat› Talking is not the same as revealing.
[20:27:07] ‹Linkcat› He literally has 5 posts.
[20:27:13] ‹kaempfer13› ‹@Linkcat› i gotta be honest with you the only other viable options i see are quiet people, shock, dd, you and rootranger
[20:27:14] ‹Coffeeditto› but this isn't, and you don't definitely know what's going on, so don't say 99% when you don't mean 99%
[20:27:15] ‹Linkcat› One of those is his signup post.
[20:27:20] • Espithel 's urge to roleclaim fucking spikes through the roof
[20:27:25] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@Coffeeditto› I fell back on that too. I said to please ignore that strategy
[20:27:28] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@Linkcat› why do you want him to talk? for a scum read?
[20:27:49] ‹Coffeeditto› we certainly aren't scum reading anyone based on their low activity of posts this game
[20:27:53] ‹Linkcat› ‹@kaempfer13› Great, out of those let's lynch dd, quiet people, and Root in that order.
[20:28:16] ‹Coffeeditto› quiet doesn't mean scummy
[20:28:18] ‹Coffeeditto› I repeat
[20:28:22] ‹Coffeeditto› quiet does not mean scummy
[20:28:32] ‹Espithel› It does, however, mean useless.
[20:28:40] ‹shockcannon› here's the real question of the day
[20:28:45] ‹shockcannon› if I AM mafia
[20:28:51] ‹shockcannon› does that mean I'm actually playing really well?
[20:29:01] ‹Espithel› Yes.
[20:29:02] ‹Linkcat› If you're quiet then you're not helping town advance the game.
[20:29:06] ‹shockcannon› or am I bad mafia then?
[20:29:15] ‹Espithel› You faffed day 3
[20:29:18] ‹kaempfer13› yh, but its not helping town in a way thats obvious to even the dumbest player thats town
[20:29:26] ‹MasterWalks› no body cares if youre mafia. you will probably be lynched soon and if you are mafia, you will slip up,
[20:29:36] ‹Linkcat› You just leave yourself as a question mark for mafia to lead a mislynch on in the endgame.
[20:29:43] ‹MyNameIsJoey› Well
[20:29:44] ‹Coffeeditto› okay, here's my thought process
[20:29:51] ‹MyNameIsJoey› mafia sure gave a new life to blab.
[20:29:58] ‹Linkcat› ‹@shockcannon› If you're mafia then you're a god.
[20:30:00] ‹Espithel› ‹@MasterWalks› Also, yeah. It's reasonable that all the mafia have different behaviour.
[20:30:05] ‹Coffeeditto› if you're quiet, you're not helping town and you're not helping mafia, or they're about the same
[20:30:21] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Linkcat› if me being mafia is such a rare possibility
[20:30:24] ‹shockcannon› why is everyone voting me up?
[20:30:28] ‹Coffeeditto› if you're saying so much that people are forced to claim, you're not helping town as much as you're helping maf
[20:30:50] ‹Linkcat› Being active is always more beneficial to town than to mafia.
[20:30:56] ‹shockcannon› I haven't forced a single person to claim
[20:31:08] ‹Coffeeditto› that's not true at all
[20:31:10] ‹Linkcat› ‹@shockcannon› Because they're bad.
[20:31:15] ‹Coffeeditto› you can't make that blanket statement
[20:31:21] ‹MasterWalks› (im not going to post this log. I posted the last log and it mentally drained me)
[20:31:23] ‹Linkcat› I am having some serious deja vu right now.
[20:31:25] ‹shockcannon› I can
[20:31:30] ‹Coffeeditto› also, that was a fallacy. don't call people that don't agree with you bad players
[20:31:38] ‹Linkcat› Like double layered deja vu.
[20:31:40] ‹Espithel› ‹@Coffeeditto› ur bad
[20:31:47] ‹MasterWalks› deja bow
[20:31:49] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Coffeeditto› thats what 4/5 players voting me are doing
[20:31:51] ‹shockcannon› or 3/5
[20:31:56] ‹MyNameIsJoey› ‹@Coffeeditto› ur mama is bad
[20:32:00] ‹shockcannon› root doesnt agree with me
[20:32:06] ‹shockcannon› he calls me bad
[20:32:13] ‹MyNameIsJoey› :sillyspin:
[20:32:20] ‹shockcannon› calindu doesnt agree with me
[20:32:20] ‹Espithel› Root's argument against you goes a lot deeper than just not agreeing with you
[20:32:21] ‹shockcannon› he calls me bad
[20:32:30] ‹MyNameIsJoey› also @masterwalks
[20:32:35] ‹shockcannon› root only lynches town
[20:32:38] ‹Linkcat› ‹@Coffeeditto› Okay, they're bad or they're mafia or they're just tired of his shit, which is a bad reason to lynch, or they're Root in possible combination with any of those.
We talk about my push, the philosophy behind it, and the current state of the game. Coffee actually talks.[20:33:14] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@shockcannon› I don't have to agree with the people doing the same thing as me, to do that thing, right?
[20:33:30] ‹MyNameIsJoey› I know that shock
[20:33:33] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@Espithel› thank you
[20:33:35] ‹MyNameIsJoey› but then what do you do?
[20:33:40] ‹Coffeeditto› [23:23:42] ‹Linkcat› ‹@Coffeeditto› I know, I just wanted him to talk.
[20:33:41] ‹MyNameIsJoey› Just wait under bonewall?
[20:33:41] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Coffeeditto› no
[20:33:57] ‹shockcannon› but its questionable to align with people who have a mindset that you are opposed to
[20:34:07] ‹Coffeeditto› why?
[20:34:14] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@MyNameIsJoey› i thought it was a shitty deck but it wrecked adrenastaves. I usually wait for the cells to get round 10 of them then T Storm them. cells dont do crap for dmg
[20:34:14] ‹Coffeeditto› what makes you believe that?
[20:34:35] ‹shockcannon› does it not bother you that the people you are voting with are voting for a reason that you dislike?
[20:34:49] ‹Coffeeditto› No, why should it?
[20:35:27] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@MyNameIsJoey› your deck you linked was what it looked like at first. i NEVER run stalls so thought id try something new.
[20:35:43] ‹MyNameIsJoey› btw, the deck I linked is so old
[20:35:56] ‹MyNameIsJoey› that thunderstorm used to cost only 2 quanta and deal only 1 damage
[20:36:13] ‹MyNameIsJoey› the buff to thunderstorm was actually a nerf for this deck.
[20:36:21] ‹shockcannon› idk because this is mafia and things like that should be taken note of
[20:36:39] ‹MasterWalks› ask shock, i try to play weird decks more than winning decks. If i try to win, i only have deja bow.
[20:36:58] ‹Coffeeditto› I think I misunderstood your question
[20:37:02] ‹shockcannon› like if you were voting on a political leader today
[20:37:10] ‹MyNameIsJoey› problem with this kind of deck
[20:37:18] ‹shockcannon› and then a bunch of Nazi's started to vote with you on that person, you wouldn't be the least bit concerned?
[20:37:30] ‹MyNameIsJoey› Is that what you think is stalling, needs stalling to be installed.
[20:37:31] ‹Coffeeditto› you really really
[20:37:38] ‹MyNameIsJoey› A rush will easily beat you off.
[20:37:43] ‹Coffeeditto› just compared the people voting on you other than me to nazis
[20:37:49] ‹shockcannon› you wouldn't reevaluate your candidate just for even a second?
[20:38:00] ‹shockcannon› I needed an extreme example
[20:38:08] ‹Coffeeditto› I definitely would
[20:38:15] ‹Coffeeditto› but the people voting on you are not nazis
[20:38:22] ‹shockcannon› ‹@Coffeeditto› and I technically just compared myself to someone that nazis would vote on
[20:38:25] ‹Coffeeditto› and you are not a political leader
[20:38:33] ‹MyNameIsJoey› Are you sure about that, coffee?
[20:38:37] ‹MyNameIsJoey› :silly:
[20:38:40] ‹MasterWalks› ‹@MyNameIsJoey› oh believe me i love rush, it would totally beat me off.... but no rush actually gets countered by that deck pretty well
[20:38:40] ‹shockcannon› obviously
[20:38:50] ‹shockcannon› metaphors are never even close to direclty relatable
[20:38:54] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@MyNameIsJoey› ;)
[20:39:04] ‹Coffeeditto› so that metaphor can't be applied here
[20:39:05] ‹shockcannon› thats the point of the metaphor
[20:39:07] ‹Coffeeditto› this is mafia
[20:39:13] ‹Coffeeditto› not a country
[20:39:15] ‹MyNameIsJoey› ‹@MasterWalks› I've tried many different versions.
[20:39:50] ‹Coffeeditto› the equivalent to what you said is that I should be concerened that I, a town, am voting you, a mafia, with many other mafias
[20:39:53] ‹Coffeeditto› not applicable
[20:39:53] ‹MasterWalks› i dont believe its a good deck. I posted it because eveyone who played it loved it and thought it was original .
[20:40:11] ‹MasterWalks› i didnt even think it was original as i stated in my post
[20:40:22] ‹MyNameIsJoey› thing is
[20:40:30] ‹MyNameIsJoey› I believe it could be a good deck in a specific setting
[20:40:55] ‹shockcannon› you like being technical dont you
[20:41:03] ‹MyNameIsJoey› example of mods I tried
[20:41:07] ‹MyNameIsJoey› http://dek.im/deck/4sk52gz152sz3534z3542z55c25c5710z572iz27aj7al8pn
[20:41:10] ‹MasterWalks› it was a hard counter in my first 12 lives match against Oa's adrenastaves
[20:41:24] ‹MyNameIsJoey› http://dek.im/deck/z452gz152sz3534z1542z55ijz2710z2714z272iz17gp8pp
[20:41:25] ‹MasterWalks› wait
[20:41:29] ‹shockcannon› you know
[20:41:33] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@shockcannon› no, I don't like arguing and I meant to go to the store 2 hours ago
[20:41:36] ‹MasterWalks› the point is TStorm and bonewall
[20:42:27] ‹MyNameIsJoey› yeah the 2nd one will fit more with your idea.
[20:42:33] ‹MasterWalks› now youre just posting afla decks
[20:42:44] ‹MasterWalks› dry spell i like
[20:42:47] ‹MasterWalks› thats smart
[20:43:01] ‹MyNameIsJoey› those are decks I used last trials.
[20:43:12] ‹shockcannon› then go to the store
[20:43:29] ‹Coffeeditto› I would love to, I haven't had food all day
[20:43:38] ‹MyNameIsJoey› At first my idea with this deck was to create cells, then kill em all and have vulture OTK, but then I realized
[20:43:39] ‹Coffeeditto› but I also am human and want closure on this conversation
[20:43:46] ‹shockcannon› this game is meant to be fun. if discussion isn't fun for you don't feel like you ahve to partake
[20:44:00] ‹MasterWalks› im having fun
[20:44:01] ‹MyNameIsJoey› What if I can fill their whole board with cells, then I am forming a sort of denial deck, where I am denialing my opponent from playing creatures.
[20:44:26] ‹MasterWalks› ahh so permafrost
[20:44:31] ‹MasterWalks› smart
[20:44:33] ‹Coffeeditto› ‹@shockcannon› the last time I felt like I didn't have to partake, Link wanted to vote on me to get me to talk
[20:44:38] ‹MasterWalks› only sopa would really counter that
[20:44:58] ‹MyNameIsJoey› rush decks beat it too.
[20:44:58] ‹Coffeeditto› are you going to be here in around 45 minutes? I enjoy talking with you
I'm not going to edit this because you don't need to read it.
Discussion is still ongoing in chat.
shockcannon (5) - Calindu, RootRanger, moehrpi, mathman101, Mobian
ddevans96 (3) - Linkcat, MasterWalks, shockcannon
Shock's been trying to stir up conflict and dissent. He's seeming more and more scummy.
I really, really hate it when shock is the voice of reason, but he did have quite a few good points. Right now, I'm inclined to agree with him on keeping our numbers as high as possible. We don't have any solid intel on anybody yet, and I'd like to be sure when I sentence someone to death.
Iancu, please EBWOP to include my vote.
I've been watching this without much commentary, mostly because I still don't know all of you that well. So until I have a better read on people, I feel going with the majority is best for me. The ideal situation for me would have been to be absolutely sure, and I was considering using my vote to throw a null lynch, but given how the majority of you feel about that, I didn't want to give off the wrong impression and make you think I was mafia again. I truly hope we're making the right play on ddevans, but at this point, I suppose it can't be helped. Please bear in mind this is only my second game of mafia, and I don't want my inexperience to come out as scum.

The more I think about my earlier theory, the more sense it makes. Also, ian seems to just rub me the wrong way.
I have two primary assumptions:
-Shockcannon, Evans, and Walk are town.
-The mafia are happy with the current gamestate.
The first assumption:
While we should have lynched shock on day 1, it's too late to lynch him. We need to start lynching scum. We can discipline him for being the honourary fifth later. I think he is town, and don't want town lynched.
Walk has a level of conviction beyond what is healthy for mafia to go for. He is town.
Evans has repeatedly been under fire, and has repeatedly been saved. Of the three, he is the most likely to be scum.
The second assumption is created due to how the mafia have lynched: Inactive People. They have not attempted to deal with Shock in any capacity. In addition, attacking evans and one other person keeps happening. Repeatedly.
Because the mafia are happy with the current gamestate, let's try and sow some dissent, hm?
So, ladies and gentlemen! Espithel would like to present:(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/413864880496443394/584485771575033886/unknown.png)
Take note, Walks. This is how you go to town on someone.
*Coughs.* Ahem.
shockcannon (6) - Calindu, RootRanger, moehrpi, mathman101, Mobian, shockcannon
ddevans96 (2) - Linkcat, MasterWalks
Mobian (1) - Espithel
I'm feeling a good 70% here.(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/413864880496443394/584650125134266376/Hammer_Right.png)STEP ONE: THE HAMMERS(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/413864880496443394/584650113176043522/Hammer_Left.png)
Thanks to Kae, we have a handy dandy chart of how everyone voted. How did Mobian vote on day 1?
(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/413864880496443394/584641181367926811/unknown.png)
This is what the cool kids call a "hammer." The hammer is the person who decides the vote on a day. If you look here, Evans has a clear majority on him. Mobian decides to make this majority larger.
The reason why hammering should be avoided at all costs is because it neuters discussion. I feel that, had this hammer not happened, we would have had much healthier options than just JCJ and Evans to pick from. The hammer failed, but this was at the very end of the phase.
And then you have today:shockcannon (5) - Calindu, RootRanger, moehrpi, mathman101, Mobian
ddevans96 (3) - Linkcat, MasterWalks, shockcannon
Shock's been trying to stir up conflict and dissent. He's seeming more and more scummy.
Another day, another hammer. A lot of people have expressed concern that both these lynches are bad. Mobian, again, votes late and votes as the hammer, trying to stifle discussion (dissent.)
Do you remember how I believe that the mafia are happy with the situation right now? I feel this is an enforcement of that. They do not want a repeat of day 1 where someone random died.
On day 2, Mobian voted to lynch Ian. Keep this in mind later. It's not important here.(https://pngimg.com/uploads/cooking_pot/cooking_pot_PNG14055.png)STEP TWO: THE HYPOCRISY (https://pngimg.com/uploads/kettle/kettle_PNG8702.png)
Let's have a deeper look at that first vote, hm? Why did he vote that way?
First off:I really, really hate it when shock is the voice of reason, but he did have quite a few good points. Right now, I'm inclined to agree with him on keeping our numbers as high as possible. We don't have any solid intel on anybody yet, and I'd like to be sure when I sentence someone to death.
This is Mobian's first post for the day and of the game. I'm not a fan of filthy no-lynchers, but fair enough. You want to be sure, it's day one. That's an incorrect, but fair argument. I can respec-

Really?
What was the wonderous, high-intel post that made you take this decision that you'd be sure about?
Was it Linkcat's post? (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-71-by-submachine/msg1289684/#msg1289684)
That's not high intel. That's a minor scumread at best. You cannot be sure that this will result in scumlynch. Not even Link was sure it'd result in a scumlynch.
By your own principles, you should've no-lynched. You didn't. Why?
That's beyond neglience. That's being spineless. How do I know this?Iancu, please EBWOP to include my vote.
I've been watching this without much commentary, mostly because I still don't know all of you that well. So until I have a better read on people, I feel going with the majority is best for me. The ideal situation for me would have been to be absolutely sure, and I was considering using my vote to throw a null lynch, but given how the majority of you feel about that, I didn't want to give off the wrong impression and make you think I was mafia again. I truly hope we're making the right play on ddevans, but at this point, I suppose it can't be helped. Please bear in mind this is only my second game of mafia, and I don't want my inexperience to come out as scum.

Alright.
Bring yourself to day 2.
Mobian voted to lynch Ian on an OMGUS.kaempfer13 (1) - Linkcat
ddevans96 (4) - Calindu, shockcannon, MasterWalks, InsignificantWeeaboo
InsignificantWeeaboo (4) - ddevans96, dawn to dusk, immortal feud, RootRanger
Mobian (1) - Iancudorinmarian
iancudorinmarian (2) - Espithel, Mobian
The more I think about my earlier theory, the more sense it makes. Also, ian seems to just rub me the wrong way.
Why?
If Mobian was town, this makes no sense beyond "being emotional." According to Mobian's own words, he got overly defensive at Ian voting on him earlier in day 2. Why?
Mobian was in no threat of being lynched that day. I even moved my vote on ian because of his constant vote-switching (have a spine in your convictions, ian. >:( )
If Mobian had properly written out his theory, I feel this would be acceptable. But, he didn't. He said "he rubs me the wrong way." This is useless, and violates his theory on no-lynching stated in step 1.
-
If only one of these things were present, Mobian would be neutral to town. It's the combination of all three that looks very off.
Before we start voting on Mobian, please give him time to respond. His dissent is important.
Now, Evans, Shock. Special warning for you.
I am not making this post to defend your hides. I am doing this because I think Mobian is a better lynch.
If either of you vote on Mobian, I will vote to lynch you immediately. Don't.
OMGUS and other things. Will post more but it will take 24 hours or even until Monday.
Just finished reading up from last night, I'm down on switching my vote on moehrpi, but will be closer to deadline if I ever switch, since the people I have a more confident read on all consider shock town.
I don't necessarily agree with that, but I guess it can wait and moe flipping as mafia would clear shock.
Also, please note this:OMGUS and other things. Will post more but it will take 24 hours or even until Monday.
Moe might not be here to defend himself, like how it happened the past 2 day phases. If he's not here to defend himself, I'm not switching.
I also have a plan that involves shock and me both using our ability on a target that we would discuss beforehand, as a way to guarantee a firefly sticking and me confirming shock's role, thoughts on this?
I also have a plan that involves shock and me both using our ability on a target that we would discuss beforehand, as a way to guarantee a firefly sticking and me confirming shock's role, thoughts on this?Unfortunately queen cannot witness mindflayer afaik, but one of the guards would work. Of course without pms the target will know about it, but a town would have no reason to act any different except knowing they will be blocked.
As for why I personally think moehrpi might be mafia. He never revealed he was roleblocked until I claimed that he was. I get that saying you were potentially roleblocked hints that you have a useable ability, but town seemed to be announcing things like that on days 1 and 2. Revealing that he was roleblocked would potentially put a bit of pressure on ian and maybe others when all the roleblocking claims went out. We can also see that moehrpi randomly started the JCJ vote. Without that name in the votes to be constantly there as a reminder that he exists, I doubt JCJ goes up day 1. I think it's likely mafia has a psion who discovered JCJ. They would've seen him as GA and prioritized his lynch, not knowing he was fate egg. Then enters moehrpi. Someone to throw JCJ's name out hoping it sticks in a chaotic day 1 with zero leads. Since moehrpi was roleblocked by me, he has the perfect cover if anyone calls him out. He just simply claims it was a random vote to give GN room to leave breadcrumbs. He doesn't talk much and offers very little to go off for reads. So far no one has been remotely suspicious of him, and town seems to agree that mafia likes our current situation. He could just be a less active town, but I think we can consider moehrpi an educated guess that's slightly less random than 50/50 that he is mafia or not.

Is there a tldr of why moehrpi
*Linkcat is internally screaming*
Are you serious? Nobody noticed that moe wasn't going to be here before deadline and we lynched a third afk civ in a row? I'm partially at fault this time, but god damn.
dd - Here because he acts how a town would, but also because he started the moe lynch train. Something tells me that it's not a coincidence. orchestrate
IW/kae/Cal have had some interesting interaction history this game, as Espi and I have previously noted
What interaction history? The only interaction I had with kae is both of us defending Espi day 1.
The only interaction I had with IW is me calling him out on possibly lying.
I personally don't get why lynching Espithel would be the better choice between him and MasterWalks. That's why I don't think lynching JCJ for this would be good either. To me, it seems like a 50/50, if not more inclined towards MasterWalks for having no base on his accusations. From his first post, I see that the whole 'who' function is the whole reason he even went with that, which I find pretty ridiculous.
I'll keep my vote on shockcannon for now, but I'm happy to change on Espithel if there's a good reason I can agree with.
I believe it's high time I make a read list as well, order is random:Over all, you have absolutely pounded and criticized every single thing i have done/said. You question me after everything. This is fine BUT you have seemed pretty sure i am town. Im even ranked higher than espi in your little town reads. Yet, in the second quote you said you are more inclined to lynch me rather than espi BUT then you say you are willing to swap your vote to espi (grated you did say if there is more info that arises). You are full of contradictions and non-vote pressuring. I get questioning someone to get a read on them, but when you already have a read, and a pretty sure one, you still do it. If i was to guess, you want role claims. You are the Brain of Mafia because your task is to narrow down roles until GN appears. Just my guess.
v v
MW - From my interactions with him, I firmly believe he's town. He gives away way too many thoughts to be mafia, although he made some questionable decisions.
v
IW - I see no reason he would claim warden targeting dd if he is mafia.
Espithel - No solid read, appears helpful to the town and does not give any weird vibe.
kaempfer - Helpful to the town in multiple ways, has good suggestions and all around appears town.
Link: Let's lynch math or moe.
Me and other person Link thinks is mafia: Sure, let's go for a math lynch
Link: Whoa, that's a red flag, we definitely need to lynch moe now.

[2019-06-02 02:31:17] Mobian: ‹@Linkcat› I don't have a read on moe. I'm staying on shock because I dislike liars.
At this point I think there's a high chance of moe being mafia if Mobian is mafia, which I think he is. Having gotten the information I wanted, I immediately try to get a consensus on Mobian.
[2019-06-02 02:32:00] Linkcat: Okay, so we lynch Mobian then?
[2019-06-02 02:32:13] Linkcat: Any objections?
[2019-06-02 02:32:20] Linkcat: Other than Mobian, of course.
Of the four votes we're trying to align, me, shock, MW, and dd, the only one who's not on board is dd. He does not outright state until later that he had no intention of voting on Mobian, but with that being his stance he brings up what he believes is the remaining viable consensus option.
[2019-06-02 02:38:46] ddevans96: so we're lynching moerhpi
[2019-06-02 02:38:50] ddevans96: got it
You're trying to frame me as pushing the moehrpi lynch, but we would have gone for Mobian right then and there if you hadn't forced us to go for the other option we were considering, moe. Let's take a look at your post.
[2019-06-02 02:23:06] Linkcat: Or we could pussy out and lynch math/moe.
[2019-06-02 02:23:25] Linkcat: But I expect Day 4 would just be Day 3 part 2.
I clearly see a math/moe lynch as a last resort, not anywhere close to the push you showed. Next.
[2019-06-02 02:24:07] Linkcat: Okay, huge red flag there.
[2019-06-02 02:24:14] Linkcat: Definitely lynch moe over math.
[2019-06-02 02:24:54] Mobian: ‹@Linkcat› explain your red flag?
[2019-06-02 02:25:43] Linkcat: I think you, dd, and two inactives are mafia, and you both wanted math over moehrpi.
[2019-06-02 02:26:03] Linkcat: That tells me it's likely moe +1 and math is town.
[2019-06-02 02:26:49] Linkcat: So you two are down for moe, right?
You tried to frame me as straight up pushing for a moe lynch, but the log clearly shows that I only wanted to lynch moe if we had to resort to lynching an inactive, and I then try to get you to bus your teammate, not directly push his lynch. The only reason we had to go with my last pick for the lynch is because you, and later kaempfer, wouldn't go for Mobian.
You're trying to pin it all on me with blatant misrepresentation, when in reality the moe lynch was a compromise between everyone present. We all chose to lynch him, so we all share the blame. This is by far the scummiest thing you've done this game.
Okay! Let's get this out of the way, can we?
Known but not claimed: FFQ2, Anubis2*, Warden2, GN, GN.
First, I don't see why Espithel's post was ignored entirely, at least for that Day Phase. I can follow his thoughts very well and Mobian barely managed to defend against the claims (especially trying to get away with the "hammer" looks cheap). As really no one was arguing with it besides Mobian himself I cannot read much out of that unfortunately.
However, one thing that strikes me even more is the very sudden train going on on moehrpi, which I read no real reasons for. Linkcat said he preferred to lynch Mobian, but then just went with moehrpi because ddevans disagreed with Mobian?
Now, I have two questions: Why was ddevans opposed to lynch Mobian, and why did his opinion basically decide the vote mostly alone (at least, this is how I read Linkcat's post). That you were considering mathman over moehrpi does not really make a difference here.
Okay! Let's get this out of the way, can we?
Known but not claimed: FFQ2, Anubis2*, Warden2, GN, GN.
Wouldn't that just be Coffee?
Espi's post came way later than expected, and was basically just a rehash of points he'd already been making in chat. My biggest issue with the post is that his second of two claimed hammers was in absolutely no way a hammer.
You defend the one person i actually believe is mafia and you do it over and over
Over all, you have absolutely pounded and criticized every single thing i have done/said. You question me after everything. This is fine BUT you have seemed pretty sure i am town. Im even ranked higher than espi in your little town reads. Yet, in the second quote you said you are more inclined to lynch me rather than espi BUT then you say you are willing to swap your vote to espi (grated you did say if there is more info that arises). You are full of contradictions and non-vote pressuring. I get questioning someone to get a read on them, but when you already have a read, and a pretty sure one, you still do it. If i was to guess, you want role claims. You are the Brain of Mafia because your task is to narrow down roles until GN appears. Just my guess.
n-
MasterWalks - Similar voting with ddevans, pushed the Espi lynch which was then backed up by ddevans. I initially thought he was GN who investigated Espi on N0, but this was disproven by Coffee's info, which means he just gunned after Espi for no reason. Also blindly joins the moehrpi bandwagon.
I will say this exactly one more time, in response to Root.
I was not the first one to push the moe lynch. Read the chat logs. Read my posts. Even read link's posts. This is false.
Anyone who continues to perpetuate this lie will get my vote.
Also - at no point have I said anything remotely resembling 'shock is too chaotic to be mafia'. This is not my opinion. You are, and not for the first time this game, putting words in my mouth.
Alright. I know we said 3 targets until GN reveal. But we haven't lynched a single mafia and its getting to lynch or die.
I am Golden Nymph
I targeted Espithel N0. He is Mafia
I targeted Kaempfer13 N3. He is Town
the coffee block was on a fate egg GN.
Sorry...

I feel like this should have waited until the start of day phase rather then during the night when mafia can still switch NK targets.
If there is another angel, someone should be protecting him if this is true.

Targeting moehrpi is still weird, not just from dd but in general. However, I do wonder how dd is so sure of shock being town that he prefers voting on inactive people, either led by himself or blindly following someone else, especially as he was not pressured that day.
I supported the moe lynch over shock because, by this time, I had realized what Link's play could be. If I moved train to shock, who I supported all game, he would portray it as me defending moe, my 'mafia buddy', and just serve to make me look more suspicious, and potentially lynched. Since I'm the only one I know for sure is town, I decided to take the bait.
If you're wondering, by that time, I no longer had a strong town read on shock.
Here's the deal. From now on, if I see any unposted chat log about mafia, I will modkill all players involved in that chat log at the end of the phase.
It does not matter who posts the chat log as long as it's posted by the end of the phase.
Mafia might try to NK a big player tonight, to try to force a mislynch on their connections. Be extremely wary of this.

Or you could see that kaempfer was catching on, then kill him and frame it this way so people ignore what he said.
Abstaining from vote to give cover to Shrieker, if there is one, since the lynch today is obvious.
I'm good with ending the phase early if there's a unanimous majority on Espi.
@Link: kae had been talking about scenarios where we're both town, and had never voiced a particularly confident scumread on me, so no, your suggestion does not make sense.
And MW and kae were the obvious NKs. My post was talking about a scenario where a GA is still in play - the common opinion was to GA kae, and if mafia expected a GA, they might NK MW instead. That whole situation invokes WIFOM. I'm talking about a scenario where they want a guaranteed kill, and look elsewhere.
Of course, since there is probably no GA in play, and mafia predicted this, my post is not relevant.
Also, in no way does this suggest we should ignore kae - quite the opposite, I would recommend paying more attention to his posts, and looking at posts of others who talked about him.
Regardless - if it wasn't clear by the giggle in chat, and the tongue-in-cheek 'told you' when they killed kae, this was barely serious. So you've now responded negatively to two half-joking posts in as many phases. Methinks doth protest too much.
Can you two just get married already
Can you two just get married already
Sure. Are you gonna be his best man? Mafia usually sticks together like that.
shock and yourself are still only likely town right?shock and Linkcat are fairly likely mafia if you wanna read back a few pages, now even moreso after the reveal
[I am mafia]ladies and gentlemen
Day 4 has ended.
Edit 1 (June 5th): Cut down the timer by one day.
I mentioned part of this in chat a while back, but I don't think too many people noticed.
Mobian gave Calindu momentum, but Calindu wasn't able to do anything with it since I blocked him

[12:41:43] ‹Mobian› So, I just had a weird idea... What if Shock really is a jester, in a manner of speaking.... I suspect, have no proof, but SUSPECT him to be a GotP, trying to lock down someone's abilities on death...
[12:42:37] ‹ddevans96› wouldn't really surprise me
[12:42:58] ‹ddevans96› at this point, literally anything is in play for shock
[12:43:09] ‹Mobian› Yeah...
[12:43:58] ‹Mobian› So, MW is dead, but we've seen that coming a mile away
[12:44:38] ‹Mobian› Hopefully we still have a vulture in play who can nom on his corpse and get his nymph juice
[12:45:06] ‹ddevans96› that'd be ideal
[12:50:02] shockcannon joined.
[12:50:11] ‹ddevans96› ‹@shockcannon› who should we lynch?
[12:50:52] ‹shockcannon› Honestly I have no idea
[12:50:59] ‹ddevans96› hm
[12:51:09] ‹kaempfer13› inb4 thats a red flag, lets lynch someone else
[12:51:11] ‹ddevans96› that feels like a safe answer
[12:51:21] ‹shockcannon› Objectively speaking I think the 3 best lynch targets for town would be you, me, immortal feud, and roltranger
[12:51:29] ‹shockcannon› I guess that’s 4
[12:51:52] ‹ddevans96› why feud?
[12:52:02] ‹AveragePotato› The latest forum post is Re: Elements Mafia 71 - by Submachine from Mobian in Forum Games. I stay up late thinking about this.
[12:52:03] ‹shockcannon› He says nothing
[12:52:04] ‹Mobian› I still think Link might be suspect
[12:52:11] ‹shockcannon› He blindly defended me for 3 days
[12:52:30] ‹shockcannon› And then I give some solid reasons for his play potentially being mafia and he instantly swaps ship
[12:53:09] ‹shockcannon› You could pass it off as him trolling or playing badly or emotionally, but maybe that’s his chosen persona for this mafia game
[12:53:58] ‹Mobian› ‹@shockcannon› If that were reasons for a lynch, I'd have been dead long ago
[12:53:59] ‹shockcannon› He also said he voted other townies and not me for the memes
[12:54:15] ‹shockcannon› And rootranger hasn’t seemed to care about that at all
[12:54:52] Guest-Abomination-899be joined.
[12:54:47] ‹shockcannon› Which is weird because you would think that’s the kind of play that would piss off root
[12:55:28] ‹shockcannon› So yeah, I think there’s some evidence (albeit not a lot yet) that points to a potential root/immortal mafia duo
[12:55:46] ‹ddevans96› hm, interesting
[12:55:50] ‹shockcannon› Root will probably read this chat and use my talking as another reason why I’m mafia
[12:56:02] ‹AveragePotato› The latest forum post is Re: Elements Mafia 71 - by Submachine from ddevans96 in Forum Games. Posted like a peacock.
[12:56:03] ‹shockcannon› But I think you two should at least consider this scenario and decide for yourselves
did we have other confirmed ffq's other than link?
the conventional strategy of using brain and scum reads to decide who to lynch...
i am low on logic. have you got any convincing arguments on who we should lynch and why?
Beyond that rereading posts just makes me read everyone as scum :)
Welp.
While I wait for people to start shit:
immortal feud (1) - Espithelfeel like espithel is mafia
feel like link and shock are town
C'mon, this is mafia. That's a really threadbare analysis. Would you mind elaborating on it?
IW: Why specifically did you target me as guard? A mafia FFQ would be probably almost useless by now, as most of the abilities are known already, but a town FFQ can still be useful in finding some roles, and moreover, I provided all the information that I gained as a result of me using my ability so I don't know why you would every target me.
immortal feud: From your posts, you seem totally lost, and unable to provide any meaningful information or read. Espithel mentioned he hates his team, and I am confident that part of that information is at least half true, and someone that can't be bothered to at least follow what has been posted seems like a good enough reason. You also said that you are voting 'for the memes', so my question is: are you actually following the game, and if so, what's your view of the game, who do you think is mafia?

Let's pretend Calindu doesn't have proof that my GN claim was wrong. Does town go through with this lynch? Or does town continue to not trust me. What does mafia think will happen? Espithel voted on Linkcat before Calindu revealed. I'm not sure what that tells us but I think it's quite interesting. He's clearly playing the support shockcannon move, but does that mean Linkcat is town? Espithel claims he knew GN was MW by this point in time. That means he knows I'm lying. If Linkcat is mafia, does Espithel bus him? I don't know if that play makes sense. Maybe ddevans is mafia and Espithel and ddevans both go in hoping no one has info that I'm not actually GN. But Calindu already revealed by this point. ddevans puts his vote on claiming that he wasn't the anubis who protected Linkcat. This means ddevans at this point assumes Calindu AND Linkcat are lying. Bold assumption. But if ddevans was mafia, he would know whether or not Linkcat and Calindu were town. Would he risk exposing himself but continuing to vote Linkcat? Is ddevans just playing the aggressive mafia who is amazed he's still alive and figures why not keep causing chaos if town never lynches me? I don't think this makes sense either.
Personally, I think voting snapshot shows that BOTH Linkcat and ddevans are town.

Not much analysis here, but I think this voting snapshot is still quite interesting. I have some opinions about what we can gain from this but I'll save them for now. The above 3 are more important. This is only icing on the cake.
So be it, I'm FFQ and you are actually lying about targeting Linkcat, I'm not sure if you are lying about being GN.
Linkcat was my N0 target, I know his role and what he got targeted by. He got guarded N1 and an Anubis targeted him N2.
I would rather have avoided my immortality being revealed, but I will confirm. Thanks, dd.
Except I didn't target you.

What about that situation leads you to vote on Cal?
If it is currently day phase please add my vote on linkcat.

iancudorinmarian (3) - Espithel, Mobian
Insig is neutral but chaotic for me. dd is town lean with a lot of information attached to his lynch. But I'll give you an out.
Is there bussing going on here? Would bussing at this exact point in time in voting be a good move for mafia? Personally I don't think there's any bussing here at all, unless mafia wants to hedge their bets. What does this tell us? Well, if we assume no bussing in a close voting phase....Immortal and Insig are not both mafia. Linkcat and ddevans are not both mafia. Insig and ddevans are not both mafia. Root and Insig are not both mafia. mathman and mobian are not both mafia.
Obviously bussing is very possible, but we're grasping at straws here and I personally am okay taking a gamble by saying there was no bussing during this voting snapshot. That gives us the above assumptions I just listed out, which are extremely helpful for narrowing things down.
3 votes on link again hmm
any last words?
forgot to address one thing: when did IW block you Calindu?

i hope i understand how your ability works, when did you send the firefly to me?
hmm indeed.
last person that voted on me and when asked about it said it was to pressure me for information was mafia, i wonder if the same is happening again.
@Linkcat - it's fairly likely you'll be lynched today, considering how the voting is going and the general suspicion on you. If we're wrong, and you're civ, who were your targets and what information did you get?
@Calindu - I see you as the most trusted civ player, and I want to vote with you, but I think Linkcat is way more likely mafia than immortal feud. You especially should recognize this, being the other FFQ. Mafia has been killing fairly powerful civ roles each night - I think they have an information secondary role, and if it's not you, it's likely Linkcat. The revelation that Espithel was mafia only justifies my suspicion of Linkcat, since he diverted the vote from Espi on Day 1. How likely do you consider it that Linkcat is civ?

Mafia NKed a Seraph, 2 Otyughs and the Golden Nymph so far. They killed the second Otyugh and the Golden Nymph because they were confirmed, so I doubt mafia has been killing the more powerful roles. Now if we consider which fireflies have been caught and what Linkcat claimed, I believe we know most of his targets, as someone lying about catching a firefly makes little sense:
N0: dd
N1: ian
N2: ? (Don't know or don't remember)
N3: kaempfer
N4: RootRanger
Now not knowing the N2 target doesn't matter, since the N3 and N4 NKs have been on the confirmed civvies.
I still believe Linkcat is likely to be mafia, but it's not because of his role, it's because of how he diverted the vote from Espithel and, most importantly, his interaction with dd, making me believe one of them is mafia. Now I did say that I can always switch my vote on Linkcat if needed, and I still intend to do this if I see mafia is trying to change the vote late into the phase, but there is no way to win if half of the remaining players are terribly AFK or outright refuse to do anything but vote 'for the memes'. That's why my vote is on feud atm, was hoping me might start playing, but instead he found a dumb reason for an OMGUS vote and that was it.
what makes you think link targeted root night4?
@Linkcat - it's fairly likely you'll be lynched today, considering how the voting is going and the general suspicion on you. If we're wrong, and you're civ, who were your targets and what information did you get?
My firefly reported that RootRanger is a noob. Not sure what that means, I'm not really familiar with all the abilities.
so it was just that, my ability failed on rootwhat makes you think link targeted root night4?@Linkcat - it's fairly likely you'll be lynched today, considering how the voting is going and the general suspicion on you.

But it doesn't matter, the point I was making only needed the first 2 targets.
so it was just that, my ability failed on rootHave an idea of what your role might be. Requesting that you target me again tonight. Unless you're a kill role lol
Ok, so I'm posting this in case I die this night phase.
Please recall that Linkcat got targeted by an Anubis N2, so we know that mafia having an Anubis is likely. dd claimed he didn't target him, and I believe him. I can also believe that if there is a mafia Anubis, they would target, one by one, the other mafia members, finishing N3.

How would they've been done on N3? From what I see, Anubis is EoR.
I can roleclaim if you really wanted me to, but I would prefer not to.
Status Effects
You are notified when you gain a status effect, except for Poison which notifies you on the Night you die.
Status effects are permanent, unless it's mentioned otherwise.
Burrowed - You may not vote or be targeted by any ability. Burrowed players do not count towards parity. Voting while Burrowed without Adrenaline results in death.
Poisoned - You die at the end of the second Night Phase after you were poisoned.
Frozen - You may not vote or use any secondary ability. Wears off at the end of the Day Phase.
Adrenaline - You ignore the Frozen status and you can not be Guarded, you may vote while Burrowed, and you die immediately when Poisoned.
Immaterial - You may not be targeted by any secondary ability. Wears off after death.
Momentum - The activations and effects of your abilities can not be prevented or redirected, unless the target is Burrowed. However, being Frozen or Guarded can still block your ability. Momentum does not help abilities that would normally fail (no consecutive Heals). Ignores Immaterial.

[15:18:50] ‹immortal_feud› dd how much should i reveal when answering your question
[15:18:58] ‹immortal_feud› bbs
[15:22:17] ‹ddevans96› don't claim role
[15:24:26] ‹ddevans96› answer the question to the best of your ability, without actually giving anything away
[15:25:15] ‹ddevans96› if that makes sense
[15:25:25] ‹ddevans96› there's some nuance, it's hard to explain exactly what I would doWhat about that situation leads you to vote on Cal?
simply i caught a firefly and dont know what about that piece of information justifies lynching me
I'm inclined to think the following exchange was feud softclaiming extra Nymph and showing an investigation of Cal as mafia:
To be clear - lynch whoever you want, as long as it's not Root. I probably won't try to convince people otherwise.
There is the possibility that feud managed to get two investigations of, but that would require him targeting MW as early as N1, which is really hard to believe.
Why specifically not Root? Feud's ability failing on Root, IW's claim that he targeted me, and shock's claim that he got targeted by the mind flayer 2 nights in a row makes me think that there is a good chance that Root is immaterial, despite claiming otherwise, and mafia.
Also, I don't like the lynch of IW, I think he's just making a bunch of mistakes, and we haven't lynched for that.
I believe we should just go for a lynch on Ginyu, as IW's ability failed on him, but I am also open to a lynch on mathman.
N3 and N4 I used by ability and it failed. This means that either mind flayer blocked me or I hit someone that was invulnerable. Both of my targets those nights role claimed and are not graboid unless lying. If the whole theory of a second anubis being in the game and being mafia, then I may have potentially found the mafia buddy of the anubis.
So, if there is a town mind flayer who has been blocking me I really need you to reveal now, because that would mean that the person I was targeting was made invulnerable by the anubis. If no one reveals, I'm fairly confident mafia has a mindflayer. I'm almost certain that one of my targets between N3/N4 was NOT made invulnerable, which means I have to have been blocked by mindflayer.
Want to share who you gave momentum too then?

EBWOP
- I think FFQs should reveal. I believe there are two and I think their information would be useful without having everyone else have to give away more roles. I know no wants a full role claim so we can keep roles hidden for now.
So be it, I'm FFQ and you are actually lying about targeting Linkcat, I'm not sure if you are lying about being GN.
Linkcat was my N0 target, I know his role and what he got targeted by. He got guarded N1 and an Anubis targeted him N2.

I must admit I jumped too early on this, without even fact checking.

Guys, I literally found the 4 mafia.
This right here is the only mention of second anubis. Has anyone actual hit an immaterial? If Linkcat, Calindu, and Insig are all mafia, how hard would it be for them to lie together? It's possible Linkcat actually used his ability on himself and saw that CoffeeDitto visited him. Then Calindu just makes the FFQ claim and gets confirmed by CoffeeDitto. This hides Calindu's actual role which could be psion or mind flayer. Then Calindu throws in the Anubis N3 claim to throw ddevans under the bus, who mafia have been trying to get killed the past two days as we can see from the votes by Linkcat and Espithel (and Calindu and Insig). Linkcat may have caught his own firefly N3, knowing they're safe to claim a random Anubis visit.
In addition, with fake Anubis out there and town unaware of a second mind flayer (which could be Calindu), Insig is free to claim that his ability failed the other night, pushing suspicion onto me (who has openly claimed mind flayer) or unto the anubis. Both these options would in Insig's mind distance himself from mafia by placing others under the flame.
ALSO, remember when Calindu (who might be mafia) just insta joined my vote on Linkcat (maybe as a panic bus because mafia freaked out that maybe MW wasn't actually GN and it was actually me). BUT THEN, Calindu backs up and says he has evidence that shockcannon can't be GN? I feel like if you were actually FFQ and saw what Calindu claimed to have saw, you wouldn't have made that mistake. Who knows.
[19:03:11] ‹shockcannon› Calindu didn't even vote on Linkcat the other day
[19:03:14] ‹ddevans96› there is no one I'm very sure is town (other than myself, but objectively speaking)
[19:03:22] ‹shockcannon› he voted on immortal feud

Guys, I literally found the 4 mafia.
The game has been compromised five or six times and I'm beyond stressed because of it, I'm just gonna put my vote on IW because he was my first scumread and because we've established an information web regarding him, and not talk a lot lot more right now.
Also, there are lots of interactions between dd and shock, it seems like dd trusts shock no matter what, so I'm not sure what to actually believe.
They pretty much decided the lynch on IW together, due to him making mistakes with his role and a terrible read of a vote.
It's strange that you are calling IW's actions compromising, yet shock fake claiming and using the mind flayer ability night after night is completely fine in your eyes.
As I see no one wants to join the push to find the Anubis, I guess next round I'll join Root and hopefully actually manage to get shock lynched.

While the opportunity for No Lynch is available in MyLo, whether it should be done is a different question. On the upside, by refusing to lynch the Town may be able to give its investigative roles another chance to work their magic. On the downside, if the Town has already massclaimed or if there are no roles that can make use of the Night remaining, opting not to lynch will simply give the scum a free kill on the Townie who is most likely to help the Town lynch correctly at LyLo.
shock hurt town all game very aggressively without any real defense.
Interestingly enough, the one who kept covering him was dd, only pointing out "nah, just bad town, just how he plays, I believe him". I already said how ridiculous of a defense that is, but they seem to have been married by now, looking through recent chat logs (yes, I did check them this morning after seeing like 20 pings, and yes that does include the one you did not post, nice try to hide that).
Overall, there is a chance shock was simply trolling for the point of trolling and eventually started caring about the game, but dd considered him easy prey, as defending him would get mafia another vote under their belt. For now, shock (or both) seem more likely, however.
It's a series of tradeoffs. If we lynch on 4v2, the worst case scenario is that we lose the game immediately. We have to kill a mafia, and 2/6 of the people are mafia - 4v2 is pretty hard to sort out.
If we No Lynch and go 3v2 we are guaranteed to live (barring modkill or kill roles ofc). Mafia does indeed have more voting power, but in exchange, 3v2 is easier to sort out and kill a mafia because of that higher ratio, as well.
If we do successfully lynch on 4v2, it becomes 3v1 - in which case we have the same situation, we can go for the kill, or no lynch and guarantee another round. In that situation, 3v1 is usually not too bad to sort out, so if you take the risk of not making it to that point and succeed, setting up this choice can be very favorable.
If you lynch in 3v2, or no lynch in 3v1, it becomes 2v1, which is one of the easiest things to solve unless an extremely skilled and/or information-rich mafia is in play. That scenario can be setup either way.
To be clear, I don't think lynching is the incorrect play, it's just the riskier one.
shock hurt town all game very aggressively without any real defense.
So did IW. We lynched for that, and he flipped town. The differences are shock provided way more logic in exchange for him fakeclaiming a role that was already essentially confirmed, given that MW had already breadcrumbed it.
Just because it did not work once, does not mean it never works.
If there are two men trying to kill someone, and the first one is failing, do you sit back guessing the other will fail too?
Also, "essentially confirmed" is a very bold claim. It was possible, but not at all that obvious. If it was, mafia would have killed him way earlier. Yes, Espi would have died earlier too, but that does not make much of a difference unless he had a good role for mafia, which he did not.
In any way, what was his fake claim even supposed to mean if you consider that an obvious lie from the get-go?
I see several flaws here. First, you cannot expect to get all town to vote on the same player. Who would lead that lynch and the mob? How can we be sure we are not following a mafia?
@Calindu, what I'm about to do may seem scummy and may make it look like both myself and ddevans could be mafia. However, I'm going to assume that you feel strongly about AT LEAST 1 mafia being among mathman and Ginyu. If this does reflect what you believe, then I'm willing to vote on whoever you vote on. You can choose between mathman and Ginyu and I'll support your choice. Otherwise I'm going to vote no lynch and just hope town can win a 3 vs. 2 situation.
Also, if you think I'm truly mafia, then go for it, but don't just join a vote on me because others are going for it. Mafia is going to be desperately trying to survive this day phase, because if they do they win. So they're going to target whoever they think is easiest to get town votes on.
My role is Ghost of the Past. I haven't gotten anything out of it.
I trust Calindu the most and would like to know what his reads are.
Basically, if math isn't mafia, then the remaining pool is shock, and people that have gotten my stance on shock incorrect recently. Since I already chewed out Cal, in good faith, I'll suggest he's the one of the mafia and not 'bad town', and he put up an MVP performance if he is. His play this game fits better than Root or Ginyu into the chaotic strategies Link and Espi traditionally employ.
Put my vote on Cal.
Out of town on holidays, so less than usual activity I have had all game. Sorry. Found some internet and a free moment away from family, so I wanted to peak in here.
Current reads;
Town - Rootranger, shockcannon, Ginyu, calindu, ddevans - mafia
I still want to vote ddevans, but willing to vote calin or ginyu if that is where the votes are going to try and avoid creating a no lynch scenario.
For now I'll add my vote on calin, with ddevans. Even though I would prefer to be voting on dd. (Please can someone do this for me. I'm on mobile)
For role, i have an information role, but I have barely been using it due to inactivity. I targeted iancu N0, shock N1, linkcat N2, forgot about it N3 N4 and N5, and then targeted calin N6. I caught fireflies both N3 and N4 when I forgot to use my ability, no idea of it was calin or link who targeted me though.
I dont know when the next time I'll have a free moment to come back here, but if possible ill check in again.

Linkcat was my N0 target, I know his role and what he got targeted by. He got guarded N1 and an Anubis targeted him N2.
Actually, how does Immaterial work with abilities targeting you during the same night, do the abilities work or not?I am not sure I understand the scenario you are describing (who targets who?). Can you give an example?

Linkcat gets targeted by Anubis and Psion during the same night, does the Psion activate, or not?Anubis has a higher priority than Psion, so if the target successfully becomes Immaterial, then the Psion cannot normally reach the target. In that case, the Psion's ability would fail.
But I will confirm being blocked N0. Although this conflicts with Coffee's theory in chat written down by Espi.
I can't find Ginyu saying he was blocked N1. May have been in a chat log or I misremembered so sorry about that.You misremembered.

I am planning on recording a MafiaCast tomorrow in the Discord voice chat to talk about the game, so if you want to be in it let me know what times work for you.
if you want to be in it let me know what times work for you.If it's on workdays, then GMT 16-20 for me. But I would prefer if the time would be better for the other players.
Can we have a poll for worst player? I feel thats just as important. No points awarded or deducted, just bragging rights.
By the way, for future games, it is worth avoiding a game breaking strategy that only requires a Graboid, a Golden Nymph, and private messaging.
The Graboid is targeted by the GN while he is a Shrieker. GN confirms the Shrieker publicly. Shrieker burrows. Everyone sends roles and info to the Graboid. The Graboid is then an unkillable, confirmed Town, who can freely speak.
Srsly? Forum pms are so fun.
Srsly? Forum pms are so fun.
Honestly, if I were to change anything, it would be to shorten the AFK modkill requirement. Last game we had SO MANY inactive townies, and that actively hurt us. These guys would pop in once every 3 phases and say a lil something, and go AWOL again. This might sound a bit callous, but if you know you don't have the time to commit to this, please don't sign up... :/I don't disagree with you, but emergencies can happen, especially to those with jobs, children, etc. Instead of the "no posting for 3 consecutive phases" thing, we could rewrite it to "no posting in X phases total, in any order". Then it would only punish people who are consistently not posting.
