I love cats sooooo much, I consider them all as my friends.

[Naii_the_Baf]

I feel confused by my role here, but I'll try.(This is actually a throw at it)

I'll fail at it, just wait.

All mafia correspondence must be copied into the thread.

[11:06:40] ‹Linkcat› Oh god, this mafia is even better than I imagined.

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

skyironsword is that you? /sarcasm

Finding it hard to come up with any sort of strategy for early game, which is unsurprising considering... we know nothing.
Interestingly, I find myself leaning towards scumhunting... the host.

Linkcat is known for finding loopholes, strategies etc usually to do with role combos.
One wonders whether:
a) He has gone out of his way to prevent such strategies from existing in his mafia.
b) His making the mafia closed is an attempt to cover up such strategies until the mid/late game.
c) He has actively DESIGNED combo-strategies into the roles, and making it closed is some sort of sadistic "all the puzzle pieces fit, but you don't know the picture" plan.

I'd also assume that the 'power' roles are more powerful to make up for the fact that we can't use deduction in our scumhunting, so I'd be cautious in revealing details about the specifics of your role in early game, ESPECIALLY if its use seems niche / odd. Because it could be that it is the missing link in some potential combo-role-strategy.

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

Game starts on night, so no lynch yet, and pretty sure that was role-name-breadcrumbing

There's a cat in my back garden. I'd like to go out and pet it, but it's too perfect to be disturbed. My hands would only taint it.

[andretimpa]

Yes. It begins!

[Hyroen]

Hm. Looks like it's time to read between the lines.

[UTAlan]

Yaaaaay! It started! I don't wanna even try to figure out how to scum hunt in this setup. Okay, I do. I just don't know where to start.

And in the mean time I'd like to not die plz kthx
