DP1 is up
DP1 is up
Welcome to Ranger’s Apprentice Mafia. This game is based off of John Flanagan’s series, which I discovered in my middle school days and have reread multiple times. Definitely near the top of my fantasy book series list. I highly recommend it to anyone. It’s geared towards young adults, but I think everyone would enjoy it as well. Each of you is a character from the book series.
There is a theme split in this game. Mafia will be given the opportunity to ask about 2 characters and 2 roles in the game. I will truthfully answer whether they are in the game or not. I will not answer any questions about any roles besides your own, except for roles in the graveyard.
Just some quick rules:
1) No editing or deleting posts of any kinds
2) No copy/pasting your role PM (please paraphrase)
3) No cryptography of any kind
4) No communication outside of the mafia game
5) No liking/upvoting posts after you die
6) No using ChatGPT/AI to paraphrase your PM
I reserve the right to add any other rules that are commonplace that I may have forgotten to list.
If you have any questions, please PM me directly. Also, PM me if you would like a vote count at any point in time, though I will try to be proactive in posting counts. All DPs will be 72 hours and NPs 24 hours unless the NP ends with everyone submitting actions earlier.
Remaining Players:
1. Whiteflame
2. Casey
3. Lunatic
4. Mikal
5. RationalTheist
6. REF
7. Thoth
8. Magicman
9. Wryly
With 9 players alive, it takes 5 votes to lynch. This DP will end Wednesday August 27th at 2:30pm CST. Let the game begin.

Problem with that is they'll think they're going to be lynched, panic, and unless they're a miller or a beloved princess or a vanilla they'll claim and we'll go 'oh they claimed a good role, need to pick a new target just in case' and then the same thing will happen and we'll end up with either a no-lynch or a bunch of claims out there.
Let’s just push inactives for claims ie Luna.
I agree with RT to just lynch an inactive. Because unless we're going to lynch McDonalds no matter what he claims it's not like asking him for a claim will solve the lynch target problem.
I think they should be given an opportunity to claim first. We still have time
I'm not entirely averse to seeking either Luna's or McDonald's claims. Don't love pushing a new player to claim first just because he's new, but it is harder for him to fake a claim and stick with it, so I understand the logic. Still good with pursuing someone who just haven't been very active up to now, and I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt for now since you did mention you'd be absent.
I’ll back you up on Luna. He hasn’t contributed anything.
VTL Luna
Good. Yours?
Fishing for claims DP1 is a bizarre meta that this site has developed that I don't like to begin with. Back in the day you only did it if someone made a very egregious possible scum slip and you wanted to pin them down. It's especially wild to pursue it when the mod has explicitly warned against claiming. The point of DP 1 is to generate speculation and conversation that can be analyzed in retrospect.
Why are you town?
The problem is that we don’t want to lynch someone without them revealing their role. Cause even if you are scummy as fuck, if you claim Cop DP1 and are unCCed, you’re probably town.
I presume it's allowed on here to lie about reasons for being inactive, if somewhat bad form.
Yes, you can. I’ve done it countless times in the past
What is FOS?
Finger of suspicion. Basically, keeping an eye on him.
Aside from myself being town, I gotta say asking me to soft-claim male/female makes me think you are scum and trying to trick me into something related to your role. Maybe that's a common form of soft-claiming on here, though. Again, this read might evaporate if I knew your playstyle better, but I'm slightly mafialean on you. I just made up the word "mafialean", so I hope that's the term y'all use.
We usually say scumlean or Lean Scum. As a noob to this site, you’re right to be concerned. This is actually a new meta where we soft claim something obscure to limit fake claim opportunities for scum. Gender is broad enough where it won’t reveal your character, but it still makes fake claiming much harder for scum.
How many scum do we probably have in a game this size? Three? Possibly two if there are neutrals?
In a 10p game, I would expect 8-2 or maybe 7-2-1, though the latter is a little bit more scum sided barring balancing it with town roles.
In one of my first Discord Werewolf games, I purposely asked a ton of noob questions in day chat to make people think I did not have help. I guess it worked because someone said pretty much the same thing you did.
Ya, that’s always a scenario.
My next question is what characters are plausibly Popular, but if RT is town then figuring that out might be something you want to keep to yourself.
We shouldn’t speculate in the open for sure
