Welcome

Will give you time to settle in

Anyway, I like that everyone is making gimmicks to their games, very cool. Did Kohai confirm his role yet?

pretty quiet, did you fall asleep?

Slightly

I wholeheartedly agree with Mag1c's suggestion of 48/48/48-hour day phases followed by 24 more if needed. We should aim to end this day phase at or around 3PM Central tomorrow.

Yes, Kohai's role has been confirmed. What do you mean by gimmicks? Savant's previous game (Andor) was nightless and on a 7-day clock like this one.

Did confirming your role consume your Popular, or do you still have it?

If you hypo a mafia aligned player they know you aren’t the cop.

I still have it

G’night. See y’all tomorrow

done. I may or may not have been playing Among Us while isoing

VTL Helz

Solid scum. At minimum, I want a claim here. A few things:

1. He's made multiple posts talking about/apologizing for not being his usual self... honestly feels more like an excuse for any meta read someone might have on him.
2. The N0 cop idea, especially his stated reason, doesn't make sense. Let's say the cop does answer the question and tells us all who they would've checked N0... that is not a confirmation of who the cop would target NP1, as there is a whole NP for circumstances to change. I think it's more likely to be a tool for scum to plan around than an actual cop crumb opportunity. If someone susses who they said they would check throughout the DP, mafia can plan around that. It's limited, but it can help mafia scout for any cop check coming their way, more than it helps town decipher who a dead cop visited. And even if town is able to figure that out, it doesn't tell us the result, because the cop would be dead. Even if not part of a scum plan to scout for anything, it still feels like a fake contribution off its uselssness.
3. Asking Magoroth for his character is genuinely so weird.

Lunatic is my second sus. I liked what looks kind of like a genuine derp, but I swear I'm picking up the same tone he'd had as mafia in the past couple games. I find the latter much more indicative than the former. It's a much lighter sus than what I have on Helz. Slight scum.

Thoth talking about his complaints on mafia game theory feels towny. Slight town, very weak.

Magoroth says he doesn't think his role could be figured out through his claim. I don't care for the fact that he said that, or that he gave his character so freely, but it does match. He's not following his scum meta as far as activity goes. His vote "idk why but I sus this" I think is in "too scummy to be scum" territory, which could maybe be said for his behavior in general. I can see a world where Magoroth is scum but for now I'm leaning town on him.

Whiteflame and Kohai are both tossup for me.

Noah keeps noob town-telling, so I'm gonna stick with him being solid town.

Shining's here, that's nice but null atm

as far as the budget goes, I'm willing to let this dp last until 3 ish tmrw... we're cutting into our dp4 time but i think we can get a bit more out of this dp before voting. I don't like a shining policy atm

What are your thoughts on the game so far? Anyone you scum read yet?

MMafia traditionally speaking has been usually 3 day DPs followed by a NP. Did anyone forget to send actions in on time in Andor?

He did. Gonna need some more thoughts from you than that, there is 10 pages of content for you to work with lol

I just realized: it's important that we agree on a time to end the day phase to make sure everyone knows when to have their night actions in without risking that something important could happen in the day phase that would change their choice. It could be worth cutting into our DP4 time to schedule this for after people get out of work.

Calling it now, mafia team is something like Dershowitz/Epstein and Maxwell.

Not Epstein/Dershowitz?

I could see Epstein/Maxwell after Rex made Candace & Friend scum in his Candace Owens game, but I don't see the logic for classifying Dershowitz differently than all the other people who visited Epstein Island. Maybe I haven't read enough Epstein files

Still, I think it's pretty likely based on the nature of the claim that at least NoAh is likely town. Don't think any scum partner would advise him to out as he has, especially given that they'd likely have to have asked about their characters before claiming.

If he is scum, I want to know what scummate would tell him to reveal his character like that. Unless Copperfield is a scum character ig

It'd be an odd choice, even if they felt they could just straight claim the character.

Shouldn't have to say this, but I'm saying it anyway: careful when you post this final VTL. Refresh the page a couple of times before you post it so that we're not going to just lynch him out of stupidity.

Better yet, declare your intention to do so and then wait a couple minutes.

Fair enough, though I think we're beyond that at this point.

Good to see you're here.

Unvote

I have a mild townread on Noah for the early claim, which I think a noob probably wouldn't do as scum

I somewhat scumread Helz for reasons I will get into after I do laundry and take a power nap

Mag1c is leaning good for good analysis

I would say WF for the same reason, but his analysis is always good, so NAI

Lunatic is slight scum for the derp as though he did not play in Savant's last game

I am townlock ofc

Everyone else is null to me

I'd say it's at least reasonably likely that Epstein is scum. I'd be surprised if both Maxwell and Dershowitz aren't in this game, but it's plausible that there's only one, particularly if they're scum.

#285

lets get Helz's claim at minimum

I really want to lynch but a very good claim would get me to back off

Given that he's already claimed his character and my own uncertainties on Helz, I think he's a reasonable choice.
