i dunno im watching saw here like

(just imagine thats "she" pls)
 
???

I changed my avatar to Cap because I was announced as Cap and it's been like this since I got the role PM. How could I be lying about my role when it reps when I'm claiming to be? XD
But it made me think you were in a chat and weren't telling us about it, that's enough to make me insanely paranoid
 
But if your argument here is that Muffin is too strong to exist as Town then the same goes for a Scum version of his role. We also know his copy powers are REAL so unless you're trying to suggest here that he didn't copy you or Loki then this argument is useless. You're reaching.
I don’t really get this reasoning from Saw. She’s recognizing that Muffin’s role has contradictions and doesn’t fit into the game, even if he is scum, and actually using that as a counterpoint.

His role doesn’t make sense at this point; just like Fran did, Muffin is claiming that his item gave him more shots AND removed his restrictions to do a full copy. It’s completely different from all other townie roles.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Bonus points it's something silly like Care Bears Mafia.
Brb, asking Bear if he wants to make Care Bears Mafia with me lol. (Only half joking)
It's what happens when we have a gag order preventing us from talking about it. XD Geno told us we couldn't confirm only "speculate"
Well, except of course that Fando was able to freely talk about it in Scum chat and whatnot...

Saw is getting there but I'm amazed what's holding her up is that the role would be too OP for scum or town. I literally could use all abilities from the first game at the same time and had no restriction on how many could go out in a night. Scum do not have the same OP scale as town do in these games lol
 
Natiko said:
What if Muffin is Jedah. He caused maol to not be in the thunderdome using a switch he got from copying Fanto. As far as I know we still don’t have an explanation for that and we now know Aeleus was town so something caused it.
I swear if the weirdness around my thunderdome ends up accidentally killing 2 scum
 
AB is definitely thinking this through the right way. Process of elimination is the only way to solve the game at this point. I’m very impressed with him this day phase
 

Alexem

Yeah, I'm town
Yep, AB's cracked it and not before time. If he can sell it to the others and doesn't get talked out of it, there's still a slim chance of town turning it round...

I'm happy that they finally realized how dumb it was to think AB was scum (mostly), there are so many mental hurdles you have to jump through to pin him as anything other than town's answer to retrieving items.

Btw, speaking of the current conversation, @weemadarthur what is lowkey fucking up the thread is that you spent a lot of your last day pondering if people could have acted through role blocks. Your fake flip mixed with it appearing like you screwed with Chuggs on a night you were roleblocked all melded perfectly for some bull shit lol

In everyone’s defense, sometimes AB does himself no favors when it comes to looking like scum. That’s just how he plays, and even he acknowledges that much. I remember when AB claimed and called out Muffin, in the Illuminati chat Ketkat was not believing it for a second and even went in on him in the game thread. But I remember how much he looked like scum during the entirety of TMBG, and he turned out to be Town.

I’ll give it to town and Nat. They’re doing good work here. Jury’s still out if they can bring it home, but they’re going down swinging at the very least. At least Nat will probably get to win lol

This was honestly tripping me up when someone pointed it out and I just had to assume that Wee had a way to get around it because I knew I got hit by that forced post. Knowing it was Fando makes so much more sense now.

I’m glad my double vote ended up being useful. I was real worried it would go to VA or something. I forgot town would most likely get a mini game when I died too so I didn’t realize they could confirm it right away
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Off-topic, but for some reason I just had the urge to go read through the entirety of the GoT/TMBG spec thread, and wow what a trip down memory lane that was lol.

I still think GoT was the best introduction to Mafia that I could have possibly had, that game had everything, and regardless of the aggression in the first few days being rough as hell and the high number of replacements, nothing has yet topped the feeling I had during/after the 4 day streak of GoG -> Blarg -> Monkey -> Meatwad all flipping Scum (though GoG was a neutral SK, she was still very anti-Town), with my own personal reads on Blarg and Meatwad helping to flip them, and my vote swap onto Monkey with 1 minute left sealing her fate.

I am honestly still embarrassed by my reads on Nicole and ET on the last day even though it was my first game, but it did teach me this extremely important lesson: Never let Nin make it to LyLo.

And then? I went and told the whole thread about it, because that’s how I scum!

.....Totally me, very much, i never keep info to myself, we didn’t argue about that history in this very game.....

Nat is very confused too now. But I don’t know if anybody will randomly say “fandorin did everything!”

You are going to be the antagonist of this story until people get here. No one is going to discover otherwise.

The reasoning was that Mao can't influence the amount of targets Aeleus targeted, the amount would always be x.
I went away to think about this, and now I have more response.

If Mao could force me, for instance, to use my role on N2 when I didn’t plan on it, then he does do a +1 role movement. Otherwise, it should be listed as a role redirect and not a role force. Because those are 2 different things.

not that that would stop a bastard game from having lies in a role flip, but it’s still an issue for understanding role usage, and therefore concluding things logically.

I still think it’s an error.

I’m so much better at scum when I’m town, it’s ridiculous.

Don’t know why people are willing to give me credit for planning things in advance. I mostly just post things. I can’t even keep up with imaginary post restrictions lol.

Next time I roll scum I’ll have no idea what to do.

If he forced you to use your role when you had a shot, he would have just wasted your shot, if he forced you to use your role when you didn't have a shot then it would have failed because you didn't have an action.

Or is that not what you mean?

I mean when I had a shot. I’m saying taking a person out of rotation on a force-to-move role doesn’t follow. That would be a retarget-only-if-moving role.

What are the victory conditions for Brazil and Muffin here?

3-1-1-1, you think they try to get town or the other scum? Hope Nat shoots scum?
 
I was told that "It gives you the power to gladiate as many players as you want." Maol's power was "choose 2 players with the command COMMAND:NAME1, NAME2 to force the first player to use their ability on the second player."

In my mind that either means A) I should have only thunderdomed Brazil or B) I would have been made to target Brazil alongside the other players

You can argue that the judgement makes sense if I was targeting players like a switcher (I don't think I was) but IMO Maol's command doesn't seem like it should be able to work with roles which inherintly target multiple people

What it boiled down to is that you got to choose as many players as you wanted, Maol could only affect target, not that number. You wanted to target 4 and he wanted to force you to target Brazil so the decision that was made was to RNG out one of the 4 you selected and Brazil took their spot.

And that’s a redirect.

His role was written as a forcing-movement move.

That’s the point.

I think Brazil's victory condition is to have 25 souls or whatever, right? So for him he just wants bodies on the floor.

Muffin has the standard Mafia one, so he needs both Brazil and Natiko dead to win.

And don't get me wrong, from the ground, I thought the same thing that Brazil would just get added with no subtractions but if you treat this situation like Geno is one of those shitty genies that will grant your wish in the worst way possible based on the exact wording then it makes sense.

It's both though? If you were moving already, it changes your target, if you weren't moving, it makes you move.

Lmao that’s the best possible description.

But sincerely, I think the moderation team handed it well. At first I thought Mao had been taken out because he did the redirect and that would have been kinda bullshit. Knowing that it was RNG’d and actually landed on him makes the situation a lot more passable.

The rest of this is basically "it would require people to play the game". Well yeah. Like any power it could be used extremely well, or extremely poorly, or somewhere in between. In the chat between Weemadarthur and Sorian, for instance, I would be absolutely shocked if neither probed the other about being scum. It was late in the game and we knew or suspected about each of the scum teams.
I deny being probed by sorian!

You were 100% a non issue to me, I was ninja and would be doing all of our faction kills from that point, no probing required :D

You randomly saying you couldn't watch tonight felt weird and after seeing the fake flip I attributed it to scum cover but since you were town, that was still a weird thing to throw out lol

I didn’t want you to kill me before giving me my sword. Also, since my role flip isn’t happening....I was hoping to bribe you into moving in a way I could watch later. You see, I could watch any night at any time.

Also I didn’t bother probing at you because I had decided you were scum already, so there was no point.

I did listen to you about hacking meaning someone could listen in, though. In case you think I never listen to you.

So I tailored all my posts for public consumption.

Hmmm if they go brazil for lunch, and natiko aims at muffin, does muffin commute and let another day happen, while attacking nat as the last existing town threat?
 
Going for Brazil isn't going to be ideal, they might end up thinking there's another Jedah still running around due to recruitment and the switch (this doesn't apply if Geno just tells them the Jedah faction is eliminated)

At this point I’m at Brazil and Muffin, even though shit doesn’t work perfectly. My best guess is Muffin is FoL and Brazil is Jedah. I strongly feel we need to go Jedah first between their soul wincon counting down and the chances that FoL kill someone and make you all lose anyways.
Yayyy!!!

They know that FoL isn't gone though and see below:

Does the jedah faction cause a boss fight like muffin’s faction does?

No, Jedah was Fando (or you lol) so there can't be a boss fight. I'm surprised none of them have clicked that together yet

Nat sounds like he wants to shoot muffin, for sure. Muffin would shoot nat if he shot anyone maybe. If this is nat’s 3rd kill he’d win AND die. Then the FoL boss fight would.....exist? Be canceled due to town and neutral win?

Town can't win until they do the FoL boss fight, even if only one of them was alive somehow, they'd have to figure it out lol

Mad as in angry, or mad as in crazy?
Only if Natiko targets muffin, otherwise I think muffin just wins, I see no reason why they target Natiko as opposed to a townie, that’s two townies dead, 1 removed.

5 players, 1 scum who is “confirmed town”
Muffin wants to not die and has already shot natiko once. I suspect he does again? Maybe i’m wrong, lol. AB still claims bulletproof so.....he has to shoot....cat.

His limitation is he can only use one copied ability. If he commutes, he can't vote steal (or kill) and if Natiko misses then Muffin is going to get called out regardless, they will probably assume he used his roleblock on Natiko now instead of Aeleus then.
