Also you arent explaining why I need to even claim anything. Your results are out there. I am locked in to one of three things. I dont see why were doing this dog and pony show.
Whats the Town Justification for a Redirector when it makes far more sense to give scum that?

I would rather not be forced to claim because you think I am a scum redirector.
Dont really understand what difference it makes whether you claim or not. If you are a Town Redirector, that’s a pseudo-CC with Thoth, who was a 90% Nexus. Not to mention the scum advantage a Redirector would bring, especially if used on Mikal. If I were scum, I’d wager you were a BP though with Mikal’s flip.

Banana who do you suspect on Shinings wagon and why? You said someone on that lynch was probably scum.
right now my suspicion is on pie/wylted. i think they were going for an easy target on shining, and also think that neether one has had a really good effort this game yet
It’s the weekend of the 4th. And Shining’s vote isn’t “easy”, it’s necessary. Otherwise he just skates by.

Banana I just noticed your message In The OP. What's your deal? Shining was scum motivated but The flip for the other one was town?
wym?
Bruh everyone knows it’s you based on ur typing style
So I asked Kohai if an NK would stop Mikal from using his Vig. It wouldn’t. But logically it makes sense scum have some sort of counter ie Redirector, Roleblocker, etc

Love that Thoth and Mikal both lied about their roles, which made it appear like more of a CC than it was, and then neither clarified. Love when town lies for no good reason and then gets mislynched.
Mikal kill is weird. Maybe he had scum in his scumreads and they were afraid of getting shot? With Thoth flipping town he was a good mislynch target due to the pseudo-CC, as well as vig generally being a good mislynch target.
The balance is weird for sure. I still stand by the fact that I would’ve SOPed Nexus.
Driving home, I’ll check in in the evening. I skimmed a little.
@WF Can you ask if the other 2 roles given are pre-selected of random ie how does he get the two other roles
Can we make a new rule that even if the person who is inactive is replaced, they should be forced to claim. Otherwise that slot just gets a free pass for now reason
The balance is still wacko no matter how you look at it. Theres also the theory that this means scum likely don’t have a redirector

on principle

Looks like both Shining and Thoth are close enough to be viable options for the lynch. I'm still leaning towards Thoth, but I think there's good reason to go either way.
Just let it 50/50 if you can’t pick

Let’s vote Shining
What's the thinking?
The generic line. Zero contributions. Just came out and character claimed. At least Thoth is contributing and REF replaced Mago, so he will contribute. If he’s scum he’s been skating by
Let’s vote Shining
Okay need you to give your PM in this format:
Character:
Role:
Paraphrased Justification:

It says he's against interracial relationships in the second paragraph of his Wikipedia article, which you read because you said Kohai based the role justification on it. But if you're saying it was a question of only realizing the extent and reality of his racism after reading the tweets, I suppose.
But I don't like the pivot between "lol lazy Kohai based my justification on paragraph one of his wikipedia article" to "Kohai based my justification off of a combination of paragraph two of his wikipedia article and Twitter research."
My impression of him before this game was mainly based on his output before he became a political figure. I knew about his racism and right-wing politics to some extent, but I mostly forgot that he existed after the Errol Morris interview and never thought to check his XformerlyTwitter output.
I thought u said you didn’t know about his racism?

First PGO in a while. I would’ve claimed the second part though
You mean you think I should have just claimed Nexus?
I 100% would’ve just for the memes and + scum always tries to kill me so there’s that

It's late and I don't have time to read this shit, I'll chime in tomorrow. Don't kill me, I'm town!
Prove it

This game is so fucking boring
Doesn't help that the focus of our attention is an absent player.
Suggest anything else then. Mikal wants to skip the day phase because he hates dp1. Pie hasn't offered up any suggestions. You haven't offered up any suggestions. Wrlylys busy with her granny. Thoth just full claimed then dipped. Bananas done nothing. Shining never does anything. Wylted just trolls.
I don't know how to read behavior out of nothing.
We have mago who is a completely empty spot who probably won't come back. Mikal isn't a vig, so hes not getting night killed. Mafia will 100% leave him alive to fuck us in a lylo situation, or he is mafia. IMO I think he's the perfect target. If people wanna actually play mafia this day phase I am happy to focus on anything else.
If you could guarantee one person gets lynched today, who would it be?

Prob one scum between pie luna wf
This game was not randomized. Its not possible
Wr gad to submit chracters and build them. Meaning he had to build mafia based on submissions. From a sheer balance level one of those 3 are prob scum
Was waiting to see more but david is not making mago mafia.
It's obviously your call who you're going to shoot, but I can't say I get the logic. At what point did Kohai say that this game wasn't randomized, or from where are you inferring that it wasn't? I don't get how not randomizing somehow improves balance, either.
hes not, he’s mod psyching it
No need to get more role claims if we’re just lynching Mago. Remember, the scum rate is 100% 🤷♂️
I say we lynch Mago for being inactive if he doesn’t show up by 5pm CST tomorrow. The track record of inactive Mago = scum is 100%
Regarding Thoth. It’s obviously a great claim if he’s scum. My problem is more of his thought process. I assume everyone chose something that they’re passionate about or have knowledge about. Thoth chose this guy and doesn’t know he’s a racist? There’s also the discrepancy with the whole “second paragraph” thing. I think he’s a good policy lynch regardless because of potential redirectors, deflectors, bus drivers, etc.

Plus he said "after a quick looksie through his XformerlyTwitter page I had no idea how racist he is" like it doesn't say the guy's racist right there in the second wiki paragraph he says Kohai based the role justification on. Hm.
i was aware of his conspiratorial and right-wing politics, just not of the extent of his racism.
How did you come about picking this as a character then?

After thinking about it for a while, I'll SOP-claim. My role is called Paranoid. If someone's action visits me, I have a 50:50 chance of (1) killing them and neutralizing their action or (2) redirecting their action to a randomly chosen player. Justification is that Chris Langan is a vocal supporter of guns and conspiracy theories. Check out his banner on XformerlyTwitter for an example.
First PGO in a while. I would’ve claimed the second part though
