    Huh, I think I've missed a lot of that. I /guess/ I'll do a reread of him later today specifically for omgus + activity spikes. He's been kinda low activity toDay though with a wagon on him? + what do you mean by angry with disagreement/how is that newb-scum? Wouldn't being more agreeable be more likely for newb!scum than the opposite?

    ~5 years, used to a ton but starting to taper it down now

    Maybe overdefensive is a better way to phrase it. He's overreacted to small pushes that haven't required any reaction.

    and there's a wagon on him but most of the talk has been about owner/proph/me. He's had people vote on him but based on stuff that was discussed yesterday.

    If you feel like it does nothing, then why did you change it? If it means nothing, why do you bother to tell me so? If this is true, are you going to move your vote again as you moved your vote from Jarizok because it was going nowhere?

    Noted.

    With a closed setup that doesn't offer role names or abilities until flip, yes, I believe option 1 is the most likely to be true. This isn't like that atrocious Lexicat(IIRC) game from a few years ago where any character of any series could be chosen as any alignment, this is a game by Fonti with Snowvon and I believe they take balance cues from Eido, who IMO is known to be fair and quite thorough in checking that everything jives. I know I've either played a game or read a game in the past where the scum team were given safe claims to make.

    I'd further say that the Snow quote is there to reduce the odds of counterclaiming getting in the way of analysis and a smoother game for everyone involved. When you have multiple players saying "I'm X" "No I'm X" "Well I'm Y""No I'm Y" "I'm Z" "Hah I'm Z" you may be able to narrow the scum team down in the first day to between X1/X2, Y/1/Y2, and Z/1/Z2 and so on and everyone else is town-cleared by the lack of counterclaims on them. Lynching between those six players immediately screws over the scumteam who have to successfully NK every night and even then they probably lose by D3.

    While I was typing that out though that has got me thinking. There usually has been a souping mechanic to keep the above situation from taking place although I can't recall a game this small having one, but for the sake of argument let us assume the scum can soup. This leaves Proph in one of two worlds. A. He's actually HP VT that should have died but was protected lastNight. B. He's actually a Draco Malfoy Mafia Goon feinting as HP VT. There is also a C. He's DM MG and the real HP has not yet counterclaimed(perhaps they do have a PR), but I find that unlikely.

    With Delphine's flip I was believing A to be the case. Now I'm less certain.

    I will note that Palindrome's play style while scummy did have me wondering early into D1 if they were just a VT before the replace.

    Now that raises an interesting question but for now let's say I agree with you here.

    There won't be a soup mechanic in a closed setup game. It's only used in open setups to prevent massclaiming. If people tried to massclaim in this game basically everyone's claims would be unprovable.

    My first game was almost five years ago. I took some time off after my first couple of horrible games and returned for Zeit's survivor, but I consider Lexicat's CYS to be where I began to actually learn how to play mafia and make reads. After that I was scum in Bat2, town in Sloth's Endgames, town in Narutomafia, town in a witchhunt on Fantasy Strike(IIRC), town in Mimefia, and now town here.

    That isn't what I meant and you know it. I meant there's no difference fmpov in voting Maj or Jarizok. I'm fine with both of them, but I'd really like to lynch at least one today, so I'm going to put my vote on the majority wagon. Plus, despite at least two or three people saying that Jarizok has been scummy, no one has put forth much of an effort to read him.

    Also, this is my fourth game in a forum setting, after Concussion Mafia, Mimefia, and WH7.

    Hey, why does everyone suddenly think Proph is town, I refuse to believe Harry Potter is vanilla townie. Let's wagon him an check over his reads if he isn't Mafia PR Harry Potter

    If you want Proph to be lynched instead of you, you need to make an argument that has zero to do with the setup.

    You quoted a question and didn't answer it.

    Who else do you think is scum? The scum team has at least 3 people on it, please name 2 other people.

    What do you think of Bill Door, the case against Bill Door, and the wagon on Bill Door?

    ---------- Post automerged at 20:43 ---------- Previous post was at 20:40 ----------

    Do note, its not too late for somebody other than you/Bill/Proph to get lynched toDay. Does the current wagon shape imply anything to you? Is this how you'd expect things to look if all 3 wagons were on town? If so, where should we swing next?

    ---------- Post automerged at 20:45 ---------- Previous post was at 20:43 ----------

    Oh, last spicy question for Majube before I dive into my reread. Is there anything in Palindrome's posts that makes you think that slot was scum. Have you reread them since Proph replaced in, with your new context from the end of Day 1?

    I don't get the question, are you asking who we think are scum voting proph? Mhm, I said earlier that I think Scum team is Prophy(maybe), Bill, Kai(maybe), I'll have to reread but Kai seems way less dodgy. I have to reorder my scum as well because my earlier posts an their tells, well just in general need to reread. I think it's likely there'll be no flash wagon and either Bill lynched for sure or a toss up vote switch to me or proph,
    Well first of all, I find it hilarious everyone who was scumread earlier in the game is voting for me but seriously I'm curious about why Jarizok is not a wagon since almost all scum tells of mine are similar to his since
    1) post a lot
    2) potential newb!scum
    3) has said scummy stuff
    Probably more in the case against me but this seems pretty similar to complaints against Jari so wondering why he's not, maybe because he's UTR now on d2 it would fit ZenZaos theories of new/absent/lurker team. mallorean_thug What do you mean? I think at least 1 of the wagon is fully scum if not proph but Bill seems really scummy but yeah this game is pretty much led by scum if none of the wagons are scum, could be since like people were saying earlier what with the game going into a lull every once in a while because the scum think their in a good position an feel no need to argue.
    Need to reread Droms posts but I'll feel like a tool if it turns out that with my d2 wisdom they suddenly feel like scummy posts

    Drome didn't do much of anything except argue against spamming the thread (as a forum mod should) and ask about changes to Little Italy as a whole that were implemented later.

    Honestly, this is why I like Maj or Jarizok's lynch much more than Proph, because while Proph's "catching up" posts d1, as well as the flash wagon at dayend may look sketchy as fuck, Majube's posts just ping me way too much. I really don't like the timing of his posts, it feels like he's only posting when people are pushing him. There's also the fact that he keeps pointing to other players and asking town how he's playing any different from them. Like, I'm pretty sure that's a scumtell.

    There's just overall a lot of posts that make me go ???
    Majube

    Can I get an updated readslist? What are your reads besides Kai, Bill, Proph, and myself? Where do mal, zenzao, waco, citrus, etc. stand?

    Why?
    Helloooo, can you clarify the question??
    Bill Door is scum, Bill Door is scum, and that Hogwarts train is a day late!
    Hmm, I still think Drome's comments are town-ish if inexperienced(Can I even say that??) because she was more used to old? mafia, on the other hand my new instincts are saying Proph is scum an pr scum to boot.

    Role name does not equal role power. Flavour means nothing in these games.

    I'm not the only girl here?!?!?! :huggles: *is surprised*

    General question: could we safely assume that maybe Majube isn't on the mafia team as no one was correctly calling her by the right gender?

    Mal's and pretty everyone else's response: no

    me: ...

    The post that I quoted was miner defending what drome did before he replaced out.

    Damn fine episode of Supernatural. This season is killin' it when those MoL ass-jackets aren't around.

    Also,
    Lynch Vote Majube

    I may switch back to Bill or shift to Mal(per my #833) but for the moment Bill's behavior toDay has me feeling better about him. I'm on the fence with Proph.
