Town has a Tracker, fucking Governor Miller, Bus Driver, Doctor, and you complain about Godfather? Are you for real?

Yes, because that just means both sides were weird

Thoth

Full Godfather in a 2-scum game is retarded, especially with scum having another ability that interferes with Cop results. What good is 40% of a cop?


For more information, look up "40% cops"

I almost feel like banana fucked up so much as scum last game that lunatic wouldn't want to risk making her scum here.

Surely Luna RNGs

What if scum has some crazy roles that look towny so beyond character claims, role claims tell us nothing and end up giving scum info?
Can you elaborate? When have scum ever had crazy roles that look towny?

He might have been thinking of the wild roles that were common on Sc2Mafia

Thoth

Tbf as scum in this position I would probably have claimed a wild custom role and banked on people believing that Lunatic was being Lunatic


Way more fun than claiming Bus Driver

Thoth

Yeah, so I am still pushing for the mass role claim even with so little time left, but it's not like I am apparently leading any charges here

Thoth

Smh do y'all think I would just claim Bus Driver if I thought it were so scummy? I would sooner YOLO some obscure town role

Thoth

And in both cases there was a remarkable oddity to bring up. Maybe I should get in the habit of breadcrumbing every game

Me am Bus Driver

Umm... huh. That's borderline SOP. I guess to some degree it depends on how you perceive it, since I wouldn't say a Redirector is SOP, but I'd at least consider SOP claiming this and probably would've made motions about doing so.

Why SOP? It’s not Compulsive

You’re welcome to rally the troops. Don’t think you’ll get anywhere since the value from doing so comes from everyone agreeing to do it.

I want to rally people to committing and seeing how many we get. If we don't reach critical mass, then it just hurts town

Feels like there just hasn't been a lot of discussion on it besides the back-and-forth between you and Wryly on the matter and everyone else taking a position and sticking with it.

There has not been a lot of discussion about anything this game.

I get the concept of just having it out over this, but I don't think that's productive anymore, so I have to question why it's still something we're talking about. Doesn't seem like there's any chance of this getting unanimous approval.

Maybe the ones who approve of it now should do it and make the fire hot by striking

Don't think you're even getting a majority at this point. I've said I'm willing to go with it if it's virtually everyone in agreement, but if we're talking about a simple majority, my opposition will remain. As for who the towniest person is right now, I think the agreement is on Rex, who you seem to have some misgivings about. Would you accept him being the person to make these calls if the rest of us were in agreement?

Yes, hesitantly, because I think that a mass role-claim will work best if one person decides claim order and my sus on Rex is not super severe.

It was highly speculative of him, but it's not sus enough to overpower the Miller claim. Don't you agree?

I see Miller claims as NAI or maybe slight town

There were a few games where scum had roles that required them to guess the PM of a townie, like Ted Lasso mafia.

There have been a few games with tons of things. It's one thing to say that X mechanic has been observed in the wild and another thing to imply you think it is in this game

I am equally shocked that "claim because you suck" hasn't been a persuasive approach.

I never did hear back from those girls on Tinder whom I told were so ugly I wanted to date them

It may be the reason others have pushed for your claim, not mine. As far as I'm concerned, if someone's pushing for a mass role claim, they should lead the way. I can't say I support the mass claim and the push for it consistently sets me on edge, but I feel like pushing for it and then avoiding claiming when attention is drawn back to you for any reason seems a little off.

I was floating the idea that we talk about whether or not we want to pursue it, and, if so, how we should approach it. I was not saying with certainty that I wanted us to mass-claim our roles and that I should command it. I thought I had made that clear.

So tell me how you would pursue claims in this instance.

Let the day phase play out naturally until, say, halfway through the DP, which is about where we are, and then suggest that the towniest person choose the order in which we claim, towniest person to be decided by collective vibes and feels. At least, that is what I would say if there had been several times more activity so far. As it stands, activity is low enough that coordination from everyone seems implausible, so my suggestion is that a few people agree to claim their roles, and, once we have hit a critical threshold, say 5 agreements including the existing claim of Miller, we all claim and demand that everyone else claim.

Considering how strong of an advocate you are for doing this,, I have to wonder why you haven't responded to efforts to get you to claim your role. Is it just that you feel it's necessary for everyone to be on the same page before anyone claims?

That, and I am also annoyed on principle by demands for me to claim first because tHoTh CaN't FaKe ClAiM

Can anyone remember a game on DC where scum claimed a Miller?

I would have to look, but I am pretty sure it has been done on here

Didn't you say something very similar yourself?

I said it was a point against the mass role-claim, but not enough to sway my balance against it, which is what I think Magoroth meant

The far-right male yearns to be dominated, and confuses these impulses for political views.

I bet there is a thriving subgenre of, "Woman with a Bluesky account falls in love with neo-Nazi male", in certain online spaces, and it is exclusively popular with the former

scum have definitely claimed miller. if it works they know they get a pass for most of the game.

This is litrully a tautology. If a scum play does not work, they do not get a pass and do not collect $200. Or $20.
