    I think if that's the case we should not lynch Waco and instead let me shoot him tonight.

    1. There's a chance DoBWaco takes me with him to deprive town of the shot, then the last witch gets 2 KP tonight.

    2. If we lynch wrong outside of Waco toDay, last stand doesn't activate because there are 2 alive going into the Night, then I shoot Waco so there's one alive tomorrow but they only had 1 KP.

    I am hardclaiming RNG'ing my action. < is the syntax that I should use to be taken 100% seriously, I guess.

    You lost me a bit: you think I do think to RNG it as scum, or think to actually put some thought into it?

    No, Pozzai was saying that scum!Snowvon and Loch don't think to use your power to hard-bus - like, you come into D2 going "I peeked Loch and he's a lying liar who lies a lot," then YOU give Aria as your RNG'd peek because you'd be "taking over" for the Watchman who is not in the game.

    But I think you'd have thought to do that, like, at least considered it.

    Strip Pozzai of his life but hold off on killing him (unless people want to claim here and now that he's town and rolling with that to endgame), lynch/Hunter Waco and Jan.

    Is where I'd go with it.

    False, either you strip or kill me, or you don't do either.

    I'll have no info tomorrow, there potentially could be no day after that, and even if there is, my claim wont matter to town overall.

    You don't do it half, that's just hedging for the sake of hedging. If you strip me and I turn out to be town, all you do is make the angel's job harder for them, as there's now an extra town to consider.

    If you strip and kill me, there's only an extra town in the world where Waco is town, and if scum wants to kill him, that gives a TON of information.

    dLGN can you get your damn good looking ass in here and slap me around a bit if I'm barking up the wrong tree >_>

    ---------- Post automerged at 02:34 ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 ----------

    Any reason you're not including your own thoughts and reads ? If yes, you don't have to expand at the moment.

    If you strip me, you definitely kill me, but guess what, you shouldn't be doing either.

    Waco should most likely be shot if we consider him the DOB, due to aforementioned "if we misslynch today, they don't get last stand even if scum!Waco dies in the night) and if we hit today and Waco is scum, yay?

    ---------- Post automerged at 02:54 ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 ----------

    Currently at:

    dLGN
    Aria
    Newcomb
    Kai
    Waco
    Von
    Jan

    dLGN brown, because he's a shitter. Seriously dLGN, you complained about people not doing enough in the Star Wars game and that annoyed you, we're at a rather critical stage at the moment.

    Aria's mannerisms in general makes me have her as town, her annoyance about nothing happening in the game, in particular, felt very towny. Have been trying to keep semi active and working with the tools she had. Withstood pressure from Cobalt fairly good imo.

    Newcombs entrance felt good, I disagree with his whole lynch the priests thing, but consider that more a difference of styles. Have in general liked his engagements with me.

    Kai as in earlier, talks much more than I'm used to, somehow says less feels unwilling too take actual stances on people apart from his top lynch, slight arrow upwards for demeanor.

    Waco is probably the one alongside Jan I should read up on. Gut says he feels like he did in Narutomafia, but due to knowing his alignment might've not paid enough attention to. Seemingly scumread by everyone else, so maybe I'm just off.

    Von feels, more distant than I'd expect, less involved, and really really pleasing(not to the eye, that he always is) towards people. There's been a few comments through the thread with a little bite, but they're too few and far between, seems to be interested in avoiding to step anyone over the toes, which is quite like his scumgame. His indecision on me had probably bought him more points, had I not instantly called him out on being too certain on me last game we played.

    Jan. Too many things that do not line up, both reads wise and mechanically. He's definitely a read I could be wrong on, but the amount of errors to me is just way above what I'd expect from him.

    I don't think I would have picked someone else to lynch? There had to be scum somewhere, and the most likely situation after the Cobalt lynch was that I had to be wrong in my townreads.

    If I had to pick someone without interaction it would probably be Snowvon based on just his doing absolutely nothing.

    What did you hope to gain from this questioning?

    Pozzai: Do you happen to have any scum games I can look at?

    --

    I skimmed through the Pozzai/Newcomb corner case stuff and it doesn't really do a whole lot for me. We should really be concerned about lynching each scum individually rather than propose specific teams and go "if this team is townie/townie/Loch then we lose!"

    I want for Waco to claim and to lynch him. I think Newcomb randomizes his shot between Jan and Snowvon. I'm getting a bit unimpressed by Snowvon's recent posts.

    A summarized case

    • End of Day 1, he pulled out a weak lean-town read on Lochness in order to not vote for her, got called out on it by Cobalt, and then proceeded to make noises about lynches Cobalt until a wagon appeared, which he jumped on late.
    • End of Day 2, he pulls the same defensive stunt with Lochness, until realizing he's not going to have the people to get the lynch of Lochness which he settles for taking the LC kill.
    • His "case" on me is the same tired crap meta argument he tried to mislynch me with in WH5.
    First paragraph, incorrect, after the point Sesc claimed Day 2, you were in the background/riding the POE on lynch choices.

    And nice AtE in that paragraph, not blatant at all.

    I'm focusing on you?? Just a little sensitive about criticism huh? You already got Cobalt mis-lynched for identifying Lochness and you, and here you go again. I've posted about you for what, a Day? And yesterday, it should was kind of obvious I was debating multiple world.

    Seriously the 3rd & 4th paragraph there are just completely wrong.

    Naruto ended up being fairly standard town play for me. I'd wanted to be a bit more under the radar there given my role, but that kinda got blown up when I got into it with Titus early

    Waco and LochNess sittin' in a hole, M-A-F-I-O-S-O

    ---------- Post automerged at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

    I agree that Waco should claim.

    I think shooting him is strictly better for Last Stand avoidance reasons, though - do you agree?

    ---------- Post automerged at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

    My thinking: (assume Waco = mafia)

    Lynch Waco, I shoot and maybe hit the last one, but if I don't, last mafia gets 2 KP toNight.

    Lynch outside Waco and hit, I shoot Waco, we win.

    Lynch outside Waco and miss, I shoot Waco, last mafia gets 1 KP toNight.

    Oh, good point re: Last Stand. I didn't consider that - mostly what I wanted was "I want Waco dead at all costs"

    Hm.

    Unsure of who we should lynch then.

    ---------- Post automerged at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

    My concern with lynching Snowvon is that he was the counterwagon to LochNess and the way LochNess went after him screams scum scrambling to get a mislynch.

    Snowvon hasn't exactly been the bastion of towniness, though.

    I should look at vote counts.

    Well, if you wanted me to rand between Jan or Snowvon, which one do you actually think is mafia with Waco?

    Personally I think Snowvon's more likely to be mafia of the two, but one of Loch's last posts said something about "Waco and Snowvon are on the same team" or something like that, seemed pretty ballsy for someone who's scum MO was to whiteknight a shitload of town.

    Outside of Waco I really don't know who the last one is. I think the clears are probably just clear, and gut gun to my head my lynch order would be like... Snowvon>Kai>Jan>Plotzai. Ish. I really don't have strong feelings in that cluster. Plotless claimed in a pretty towny way and Pozzai has seemed a fair bit like his town self from the games I've been in with him, is why he's last. Jan... mrgle. Fuck I'm bad at reading Jan. I /think/ the current AtE he's got going is more of his "town angry"? Like, consider how he was pissed at fonti in WH5. But I hate his progression on me. Kai is just a gut scumread he seems kinda slimy or something, like he's too reasonable, but that's like 100% gut. Snowvon is just... kinda around. Even low-energy town Snowvon has moments where I go "yeah, town."

    ---------- Post automerged at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

    That's a reasonable point re: counterwagon. Kiiiinda mitigated by the fact that Haunt exists and Loch was LC, but still a point for town!Snowvon.

    Would you look at votecounts? I'm here to bounce ideas off if you pull them up, but I'm kinda scrambling to finish a project by midnight tonight and don't really have time / energy to get into them.

    Lynch snowvon, shoot Waco. Then pozzai if game isn't over, since I don't think Jan or newcomb are witches here.

    Re: people asking me about the questions, I really only cared about snowvons & wacos answers. So the rest of you essentially had make work questions.

    Not home atm but checking thread reasonably often on phone.

    I'm a bit busy tonight, will probably delve deep into vote counts tomorrow.

    Yeah, I agree. Unless LochNess copied my scum strategy from the Invitational I don't think she would do that.

    I'm fine with lynching Snowvon/shooting Waco just to bag a scum here. I want to look at Jan but all of his posts make my eyes glaze over for some reason :/

    I only ever played one scum game.

    http://personalitycafe.com/mafia/697546-mafia-lxxvi-murder-sleepytown-cultist-win.html

    A few comments. Personalitycafe requires you to have made 15posts on their standard forum before being able to even see their mafia subforum.

    General meta Pozzai thing.
    I as a player tend to gather information about people I know, put down an alignment for them before spreading out to unknowns and determining them, typically by asking a lot of questions and probing.

    Notes about the game:
    I only know one person in the game, which made my normal process hard, at the same time I was playing a witch hunt setup on fantasystrike that had started getting into an important point of the game.

    These things coupled does that you should not read into activity levels too much, unless you find something damning in it.

    My heart was not really in the game.

    ---------- Post automerged at 07:38 ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 ----------

    Just to clarify, if you read it. You should read absolutely 0 into the greatly reduced activity in that game, everything else should probably be okay to analyse from.

    Hey guys, I know I've been saying I'm going to do a reread post and stuff but I've been really busy today and I'll be gone pretty much all day tomorrow, not even sure I'll make it by EoD so I'm really sorry. I'll try to check in/post brief thoughts/etc at some point before day ends, though.

    ---------- Post automerged at 02:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 AM ----------

    But basic thoughts are I don't mind anyone who's not confirmed dying except for Newcomb, who I now think is the towniest of the unconfirmed. Also, I love how there's a lot more activity now that Pozzai's around.

    lynch snowvon

    waco needs to explicitly claim either dob or 'not dob' then newcomb shoots waco tonight.

    if waco is actually town dob somehow he should remove pozzai's life so the judge doesn't need to claim.

    if you're scum feel free to do whatever.

    If you're town you've missed something mechanically wrong about your idea in most worlds, and sadly md pointing out exactly what is heavy scumcoaching.

    People who are town and got good mechanical understanding, you guys can play along at home.
