Looks like we will be waiting to get the game really rolling until we get some engagement from these slots.

Yeah. shining is notorious for being MIA

Im not opposed to doing a policy. This game in particular with a hard timeline town will just loose we can not afford to have that in the late game.

Sadly agree with this. Unlike other games we have a hard 7 day time limit. The longer we stall the easier it is for scum to win

WhiteFlames response to the flavor claims was interesting. I specifically noted that while they wanted to withhold their claim they also did not discourage the concept itself.

I take it as a given because I’ve said it every game (whether I’m scum or town) that we shouldn’t mass claim. If it helps to say it, I’ll say it again, but I get that we have limited time and a theme split we can theoretically work with. That being said, we have 3 character claims and a full claim, so unless there’s another SOP claim in the mix, I don’t think it helps us to keep seeking more.

Less active players are more of a negative this game than most, and yeah, I think it behooves us to at least consider policy lynches.

bruh lol

I will announce when MYLO/LYLO has arrived, and votes will be permanent on MYLO/LYLO days. So no hammer baiting.

Unique Mechanics

The town has seven days to eliminate the mafia. Day phases can be as long as you want, but the game will default to a mafia victory at this time in seven days (Tuesday, October 13, 2:00PM Eastern) unless the mafia have been eliminated before then. To go to the next day phase, you must lynch a player. You cannot vote to end the day phase without killing a player, the day phase just continues until someone is lynched.

Budget two days for each DP? With one day for DP4 if needed.

How does the night phase works? What prevents the mafia from stalling out the night phase to use up some of our seven days?

fakable but creative... I buy the derp for now. Weak but looks good early.

Not certain on Magoroth, but I'm tempted to townread #38 and #39. But I don't know if he's jumping in and trying to find things that are off, or tried for something and immediately backed out of it.

I think the former seems more likely; mafia would plan out their pushes/pressures/shades better, no?

Whazzup

idk a thing about Noah. I want to townread the instaclaim but I'm wary of coaching... he'd need a partner to be online so early, so I think it's less likely.

Hey Thoth!

Advice:

As town, it's good to avoid character claiming for no reason. Characters are always tied to a role through a justification. Oftentimes if mafia does enough research on your character, they can figure your role out.

Now that I mention that, I don't like Magoroth claiming character so early, even if asked, or Helz asking for it. Hm.

So do you have suspicion that Lunatic is a scum?

No, not at the moment. The townread I have is very weak and can change.

VTL shining

for pressure as they’re the only ones not in the game.

Also I had the random thought that we should immediately mass claim roles and shit because scum won’t have the time to make coherent claims, but then I realised it’s a really shitty strategy of winning the game so I’d rather we didn’t do that. Also there’s no guarantee it’ll work

We have done mass claims to varying success in the past, sometimes it works, other times it only gives town power roles away and doesn't lead us to much, widely depends on the theme being analyzed and whether or not mafia have access to fake claims or not.

Are we planning on doing hours for those day phases?

I would be in favour of taking 48h or less for each day phase personally

24h would be better time wise but its really short

Lets see. I think since this is a standard 9 player game, we won't have to rush that fast, 3 mis lynches should still be game over so rapid fire mislynches could end the game in 3 days. 48 is more reasonable I think.

are you asking me to unvote Kohai?

No. I am just unvoting to prevent someone from accidentally hammering

They claimed a "Popular" role modifier. This means for them to be eliminated they will require 1 extra vote. This can be proven by voting them to verify they do not get eliminated.

I personally just didn't care. I could see either Town or Wolves having such a modifier and I simply believe their claim given how easily it can be verified. So I accepted it as truth and moved on.
