We need to hear more from you buddy. Current thoughts on the game?

Banana feels townie, lots of posts and analysis. Still feel wylted is townie. I really wanna just blindly trust pie based on what he said to supa about his role carrying the game. Thats the type of confidence I would expect out of a town pie who thinks he can genuinely break the game. Whiteflame seems normal to me so far, nothing really stands out. Thoth... is Thoth. Idk his posts always are odd to me but im fine with him for now. Wryly is fine. Shining seems normal.

My POE is Awesome, mikal, and Mago at the moment. Mikal I know is finishing up a move, he hasn't been able to play arc raiders with me in days because he is missing his power strip and the snowstorm in his area is really bad. He's generally a pretty busy guy. However I have played scum with Mikal before and have seen him say "Im not gonna post this day phase and come in hot next day phase" with activity as a general excuse, but also knowing mikal I know he can probably post from his phone. So I give him a parftial excuse for it, but again I have seen him use lurking as an actual strategy. But I am okay with looking into him day phase 2 as a matter of respect and curtesy to his IRL situation.

Yeah magoroth looks pretty scummy to me as well. A lot of things people have already mentioned, the mass claiming idea (could just be a vehement philosophy thing, but I still think it pretty obviously favors mafia), the omgus both with thoth and pie, the asking about empress exposing themselves (same logic as the mass claim), asking people to tell how much favor they have, imo he just seems very focused on mechanics over behavior. If you look at his actual behavior reads the biggest thing he has said so far is that wryly seems "shy" and used it as a reason to FOS her. The reasoning for the pie push feels omgussy, and again based on pretty bad logic imo. I just really don't think Magoroth is acting like how I imagine a town player should act. I've been bit in the ass by this type of logic before though, so theres a chance he's just our new "khaosmage". If anyone here is from DDO you will get that reference and understand what I mean lol

i lean town on him too but i wouldnt say he is confirmed or anything.

I wasn't suggesting he was.

What if I say that if I have enough favor, I can basically carry town the entire the game

I hope this is true, but if you are scum and this works I am insta lynching you from now on in every game going forward.

post 224 reeks of omgus btw. Noted.

So admittedly I just barely fully read my role PM. Before I kind of skimmed it because it was insanely long. But I have some information in my role that there is a mafia poisoner. Just wanted to get that out there, and apologize for not saying it sooner since I just barely realized it.

If it were anyone but Wylted, I would’ve agreed with you, but the way he specified after that it was only when he got to Imperial is weird to me. I’m wondering if it was a fake claim to begin with.

I'll grant you that, wylted does like to make ballsy fake claims. I still lean that its probably legit based on the other mechanics of his role he mentioned with the leveling up and stuff being required to be a miller, which is a similar theme to mine. Could be mafia have the same mechanics, but yeah something to keep in mind I suppose. He could be just pulling a wylted. His claim isn't going to give him a pass for bad behavior or anything though.

Sounds complex af

Wylted is probably town. Miller is a risky claim but the way he claimed it and his realization about the complex mechanization of his role makes it seem more legit to me. I think we can move past him.

Also heads up I am generally not a fan of games that have weird flavor mechanics, I signed up for this one as a return favor since rex signed up for mine, but I just wanna play normal mafia, so I am going to try to treat this like a normal mafia game as much as possible. I honestly don't understand why mods want to over complicate stuff like this all the time, it seems like it always frustrates the players and ultimately always favors mafia.

A mod-provided fake-claim. Roy Kent, in this case.

They were not told. Basically all they were told was in shinings PM

Did scum know that Pie had a cover?

Whats a cover?

Should've established more towncred for myself, life got in the way. Don't feel bad

You didnt do anything wrong. Thanks for playing btw

Design:

A lot of my recent games have been on the swingier/ role heavy side and have been a bit chaotic, so I wanted to go back to my old style of game that was more vanilla heavy. There wasn't a lot of crazy power on the town outside of the cop and pies role, and even then I gave mafia ways to counter both. I also feel I didn't over power mafia either, I am hoping the balance was fine in this one. Obviously pies role I knew could make the game swing in either direction, at the end of the day it resulted in the town only getting two mislynches instead of there normal three, but I also didn't really expect mafia to catch onto Ted Lasso so fast, and if they had guessed wrong, or if shining was lynched first, pie could have been a major force for town here as basically a confirmed unkillable townie. So that was probably the swingiest thing about the game.

Thoughts:

I don't usually like to do MVP's they are a bit outdated, but if I was to give one, I would give it to mharman here. Dude played like an absolute champ. Not only did he accurately guess Ted Lasso dp1, his theme analysis was amazing, he guessed many of the town characters and power roles based off of the tiniest clues, and made excellent decisions for night kills. I forgot how good mharman can be at this game when he's locked in like he was here. It was really fun watching him work in the mafia thread. Everyone else did alright as well, I don't blame town for the mislynches either.

Also whiteflame the reason Roy Kent wasn't in the theme was because that was the fake claim I gave pie as a safe claim, since I figured he would probably need a solid one to play that role well.

The only thing that mafia maybe could have done different was use doctor as a fake claim, but mharman kind of picked up there was no doctor, and I think he chose the safe route with the vanillas which was probably smarter in the end, because it would have been suspicious if a doctor survived that late in the game with no successful protections, so the vanilla claim was probably the way to go. The role hint I gave them was that "there was more than one vanilla in this game".

Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed the game.

iLikePie5- Ted Lasso- Unlynchable/Unkillable unless guessed- Guessed DP1

Shining- Nathan Shelley- Guesser/2x Redirector- Lynched DP1

RexFavilla- Coach Willis Beard- Universal Backup- Town- Killed NP1

Wylted- You are Rebecca Welton! Mrs. Welton is the owner of the AFC Richmond Club after discovery of her husband cheating on her is made public, she wins the club. Initially Rebecca is introduced as an antagonist with a plot to have Ted Lasso coach the team hoping he will fail miserably and destroy AFC Richmond’s reputation, which in her mind will hurt her Ex husband Rupert Mannion since she thinks the club is the “only thing he’s ever loved”. However Rebecca like everyone else ends up growing very fond of Lasso and eventually comes clean to Lasso at the urging of her good friend Keeley Jones. After this Rebecca becomes a wonderful and loveable character who garners sympathy from fans as she continues to get bullied by her ex husband any chance he can get. Eventually she comes into her own and becomes what her best friend “Sassy”s daughter refers to as a “Boss Ass Bitch”. Rebecca alongside Ted bring AFC Richmond to greater heights. You are a vanilla townie and can use your voice and vote to influence the game. You win with the town. (Hidden Miller based on her initial deception to Ted)- Lynched DP2

Kohai- You are Trent Crimm! Trent is a hard hitting sports journalist working for “The Independent”. While Crimm has the reputation of being a bit of a prick, he also is a very good journalist and tends to be one of the first to get the inside scoop through reliable sources. You often find out major news before the rest of the sports journalists do. Therefore you are the Cop! Each night you may investigate a player to see if they are innocent or guilty. One player in this game is a hidden miller, meaning that player will not know or be told they are a miller and will appear guilty despite being innocent. You win with the town - Killed NP2

Graveyard:

iLikePie5- You are Ted Lasso, also known as the “Marlboro man”, a joyous American hired by Rebecca Welton to be the coach of AFC Richmond. During the show you are quite unbreakable. You never let anyone get to you, even when the majority of the football community refers to you as a “wanker” and thinks you are an absolute joke. Despite this, you never let any criticism get to you and you literally reshape the entire Richmond team into a proper team of footballers, despite the team being relegated. You are betrayed by multiple people you respect, including your boss “Mrs. Welton” and “Nathan Shelley” your kit man raised into a coach. It is even later revealed that your best friend “Coach Beard” betrayed you at one point, and not only did you forgive him, but you give him the utmost respect and love. No matter how hard they try to break you down, you withstand and persevere. Because of this you are unkillable! You cannot be lynched or night killed. With one teensy tiny little exception. Mafia will have one chance to try and identify who Ted lasso is in this game. They can guess who you are at any point, but if they guess wrong once, they will never have the chance to kill you again. You will not be told when or if mafia guess, you will just immediately die. This can happen any time in the night phase or the day phase. If you are killed in the day phase, the day phase will continue on but you will instantly die. Because of this I will provide you with a strong character fake claim though it will be up to you to find a justification to fit with it. Your fake character is: [Redacted] You win with the town. (Killed via role mechanics)

Shining- You are Nathan Shelley! Nathan also known as “Nate the great”, or “wonder kid” was the original kit man for AFC Richmond. Nate has many self confidence issues, and is commonly bullied by the football players in the locker room. Later his character develops when Ted Lasso identifies Nate’s Genius and allows him to join the coaching team, realizing that Nathan knows a lot more about the sport than Ted himself does. Nate has an amazing character arc, however in season 2 slowly becomes corrupted with the new power and becomes one of the biggest douche bags in TV history. After an explosive confrontation with Ted, he does the unthinkable and tears up the team's beloved “Believe” sign, and proceeds to join West Ham United, which is owned by Rupert Mannion, AFC Richmond’s main rival. Because most of your beef with Richmond is targeted at Ted Lasso, your goal is to identify Ted Lasso. You have one chance to guess who Ted is in the game, if you are correct in your guess, the player who is Ted will die immediately and won’t count as a night kill. You can also guess during the day phase. Only you can make the decision however. If you die your partner cannot try and identify Lasso though they are certainly able to help you piece the puzzle together. You are also a 2x redirector, and can make a player visit someone they did not intend to visit. You win with the mafia. (Lynched DP1)

RexFavilla- You are Coach Willis Beard! Coach Beard is Ted Lasso’s best friend in the show, You are also extremely intelligent, cultured, and a little bit eccentric once people get to know you. You are reserved, however you are pretty significant for being very observant. You are Ted Lassos biggest supporter, and will always back him up and defend him. When it was later revealed that Ted Lasso loved you and forgave you years before for a betrayal, your complete and utter loyalty makes more sense to fans. Because of this you are the universal back up! You will inherit the role of the first player to be killed by the mafia. You win with the town. (Killed NP1)
