So im only just now catching up on this game but maybe one of yall can spoil me on something.
Is monkey scum?
My gut kept pushing toward it during the election with how she was pretty much my biggest backer.
But then i died and kinda forgot about it.

She was probably going to be on my list tomorrow if I didn’t blow up. I think Malus nearly hammering Faddy clears him and I was starting to have doubts about Fandorin

Yo @Faddy
Pretending to not understand anything mechanic/role related is your most obvious scumtell. I don't want to give you shit or anything, just some observations from a friend. It's what became apparant with the last two games.
There is no need for you to play dumb. Just play your strong town game as scum. You should be capable of so much more.

Don't. It's much more fun to try and figure it out yourself. Once you have the knowledge, everything is oh so obvious.

That's why i'm not looking, i'd rather not know as it makes the game much more fun. But oh the temptation to just take a peek lol

so I think it is really unlikely town has anything more than this: backup, override, masons, vanilla cop, doctor, bulletproof, commuter

So my call is blarg is vanilla cop and everyone else is vanilla

Is Zeke making a bunch of terrible arguments on purpose, or is he really this divorced from reality?

I appreciate the feedback.

In my defense... my first scum game I wasn't really up for playing so it was a drag. In this one I was always going to have to be lynched at some point. I do find it hard to manufacture fake reads as scum. Like if I know someone is town it becomes hard construct an argument for them to be scum. I find that to be my main failing. And i was far too cautious in my first game. I should have just hammered onto coolest day 1 rather than get caught sitting in the middle.

I don't really know what mechanics I was supposedly playing dumb with here. We are in a super tricky position in the game where I was getting enough heat that mechanically it is better for me to force the counter claim than seem overly desperate claiming at the last minute and have the real doctor feel they don't need to explicitly out. Or if there isn't a doctor and town has just the BP and commute then I look much better.

I feel like the worst thing i can do there is push super hard for a lynch and give people logic that they cannot be my partner.

Wait, you all weren't sure there was a doctor at all? Why did you choose those two as your fake protect targets?

Those were the obvious protections and where we expected a real doctor would go. There was a brief chat about killing cabot night 1 but we feared the doctor.

And i had put a little bread crumb in there too.
 
lucky guess I assume

Dang, I thought I had pulled off some amazing luck with my protects but instead I just got completely fooled.

Huh. Cabot was kind of just a shot in the dark for me Night 1, and I had a lot of other people that I almost went with. I likely would have counterclaimed it either way, but I really felt like I was doing great for a moment there!

obviously my claim was carefully crafted with aim of clearing my scummate Flux, yep
 
Gotta say, I like Blarg here.

if it was me, I'd be questioning Bae being RB'd two days in a row privately to myself but with the doctor out now, if Bae was still alive at the st art of the next phase, regardless of any "RB" claims or whatever, I'd start questioning them out loud.

I've only seen one case where a Cop was left alive to the very end (Sneakers). Usually it doesn't happen though.

Faddy said:
Just because he commutes doesn't necessarily mean Turmoil can't get a check on him depending on how Bear chooses to do things.
That's just not how commuters are used in this community and you got plenty of flak for this reaction. When I read this posts, I immediatly thought: "Oh Faddy is probably scum." You did something similar in Brexit2, arguing that roles could work differently, when you have shown over and over again as town that you do know how roles are implemented in our community. After turmoil's flip you were done for imo.

Your claim was fine. Bad situation and you tried to turn it. Getting Ket to claim was the best you could achieve in these circumstances.
 
Gotta say, I like Blarg here.
I thought he was scummy the first few days (didn't produce anything), but today he seems to be after something. I think his "I would've counterclaimed Faddy" was no joke. I'm anticipating a claim, but still wouldn't rule out him being scum completely.
 

cabot

Why.
Town are in a good position just now though I am worried about the inevitable sag in the mid game where players tend to be laziest.

Also, I'm starting to realize that I'm very bad when it comes to early game. I survived in my first game because I was new town gave me some leeway, but every other game I've had to save myself by claiming. Once we start getting deeper in the game, I think I do a pretty decent job of figuring out who is scum and what not, but I'm always trying to talk myself out of getting smoked early game.

I don't know that anyone in our community is really *good* at the early game. Maybe Sorian, but that's because he starts kicking over every rock he can find and he's done it enough that no one ever thinks much of it.

Gotta say, I like Blarg here.

Blarg is way better at this than most people give him credit for. I think most people don't take him seriously because of all his fooling around, but IMO he's one of the sharper players when he goes to work.

Also, I legitimately enjoyed it when Faddy claimed me as a Doctor. Fun fact: I was Ordinary Town in Gafia 1, and I've never been a role since. (And I'm totally OK with that.)

Blarg picking up on the flimsiness of Bae’s claim when nobody else had bothered makes me feel better about him.

Still can’t read Fireblend cause nobody is pushing him on anything.

I know he's good but he's hard to read (for me) because of said fooling around.

Town is doing pretty bad today. there is absolutely no real push for the real scum.

Yeah. I’m not super surprised with how day 3 ended though. People still want to kill Fandor and Malus, and they have Brazil and Neeks set up as mislynches pretty well too. Monkey and Nat are also doing a pretty good job at bussing each other lol. I’m honestly not sure how this game will go. Town has some really good players left, but so does scum.

it will be lol if Malus gets mislynched despite his graph right on the money

Yeah, what IS rac doing? Sounds like he wants to sub out but is going about it weirdly.

Or maybe desperate to change the subject.....?

the best outcome for scum would be to mislynch one of the reads from the vanilla cop, if there are a lots of their reads when the massclaim happens it will be very hard to win

That is fair. I really didn't want Turmoil to get lynched the way he did. My point on the commuter was dumb but it could be true but in my heart I know Grizzly is fairly standard as a game runner.

I should just have pushed the Flux was lying like I did on day 3.


Just skimmed through the thread and someone made an awful mess in there. Oops

is fando the vanilla cop, he told Brazil and they think Sorian helped me with the claim? This would be fun

With the way scum are going after each other, and I think they got it to a point that one scum lynch won't to lead to another. They're doing very good today.

quoting for posterity

Fran said:
Honestly with every post they make I'm more lost than before.

I started the day with scum reads on both Brazil and Fando because I was scumreading both of them and Faddy yesterday and I was right about Faddy and the timming of Brazil vote was really scummy and Fando not even voting was also scummy. But then I read the argument of both of them on Malus and I think "It's not bad. Malus seems really scummy there" but I'm not sure because this is coming from my 2 scum reads. I think "maybe I'm wrong and Malus is scum with one of them?". And then comes Sorian and just says that it isn't interesting and start fighting with Brazil while pushing for a Fando lynch. So now I'm thinking "Maybe Fando and Malus are town and Sorian and Brazil are scum buddies just creating noise". But then comes Monkey and says that it doesn't matter what Faddy said because we will never know if he was being honest, which is a really bad argument, and the timming of her vote was also so scummy. And now my conspiracy sense is tingling and I'm thinking "Maybe all Brazil, Fando, Monkey and Sorian are all scum and they are just playing with us."

Then we have Natiko, who was a town read but his vote record yesterday was soooooo bad that now I feel the other way around about him and I'm thinking that he also could be scum.

We also have Rac, who I was already scumreading, who comes in here and start posting nosense and I'm thinking "I Grizzly added a jester in this game I'm going to kill him".

I can't forget about Zeke too, that now he is just happy adding fuel to every fire he can find. Or LP who in the last 2 phases made less posts than Nin, who played only a couple of hours and it's flying so low under the radar that I'm worried that he will crush and burn.

And then I realize that my only townread besides the confirmed or semi confirmed townies is BLARG.

So now I'm thinking that I just hate you all.

I mean....it’s not even the strongest confirmation lol.
Not that mixed-alignment masons are the most common sort, but it’s not like they were lovers. It’s not near. As strong as fran’s confirmation.
 

Chuggernaut

I feel like me and Neeks hit on pretty similar conclusions. If I was still alive I would probably be scum/town reading the same people she is.

You have a secret mason chat in Outer Mafia with your Mason Friend. You can use the chat at any time of day or night phase. You know, that your mason buddy [REDACTED] is TOWN.

It kinda is a strong confirmation :P

So is Blarg always like this? Because he cracks me up.

That Fran post is kinda like i feel out here. I trust no one. Not even Town Confirmed Fantomas.
 
I'm a Neutral Armourer who only gets my Power unlocked if we vote the map I originally debuted in STAR WARS for as Blargonaut Prime it is only there where I can fix the first choice I made that led me and thus Mafia down their evil path, I promise to gift the last 3 players who TURBO Flux to death right now priority in my Nightly visit order caveat of course being we all vote SW ASAP go go go

Blarg is the best

It's quite amusing. Glad I flipped first though, fanto was being set up for a mislynch down the line, at least that was avoided

I mentioned this before, but yeah, if you didn't flip there I probably would of spent my last day phase just scum reading Fanto.

So is Blarg always like this? Because he cracks me up.

Let me tell you a story:
Star Wars Mafia, Season 2. Blarg decides the game is too boring, so he sets up a game-within-the-game. He'll play lines and boxes with another player, and the loser has to claim their role. So he goes up against Makai, who beats him handily. (Makai later reveals that he found an online version of the game, set it to the hardest difficulty, fed Blarg's moves into it, and replicated the computer's moves back against Blarg.)
So Blarg loses. And he claims as Mafia.
For the rest of the day he puts on a big show of how he's going to work with town and turn on the mafia players. He won't tell them who the other mafia are, but he'll help them figure it out.
Town doesn't buy it, so they lynch Blarg.
...who flips as the Town Cop.

That was Blarg's first game with the community.
(It's also where the "draw straws" image turmoil posted came from.)

I hadn't signed up for my first game yet, I was on the list as a replacement. When I saw that, I REALLY wanted to get into Star Wars. (I replaced into the other game that season, Animal Crossing, which also turned out to be awesome.)

The Last Airbender is actually a great movie
While we're at it, people should check out Final Fantasy Mafia on gaf, where Blarg was a Neutral whose win condition was that he had to successfully roleplay as the Hulk, Jeff Goldblum, Nicolas Cage and Lightning, and some other people I forget.

Y'all can find links to all of our past games on this sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...vw93O9TLht7GYQE4YSphQa1aE/edit#gid=1387747904

Star Wars was in Season 2, Final Fantasy in Season 4
