Didn't know I needed your permission, and I'm pretty sure I don't?
I am a sovereign citizen with diplomatic immunity. I revoke my consent for you to lynch me
Oh you mean lynching inactives for inactivity

The biggest draw back to this is that it helps scum narrow down who may be the possible cop.
If you hypo a mafia aligned player they know you aren’t the cop.
another problem is on our site a cop almost always includes a godfather, miller, framer, or lawyer to balance things out.
Redirectives too
What is hypo?

Standard D1 strategy of insulating potential alignment cops N0 peek.
Essentially if every player posts a peek then if an alignment cop is killed we do not have to guess who they checked. If I am the alignment cop I am then insulated while town is given direct claims post flip. If I am not then any other alignment cop would be protected and able to out claims without fear.
I assume alignment cop is just what we call cop on here. Good strategy and could be applied to other investigative roles.

Shouldn't have to say this, but I'm saying it anyway: careful when you post this final VTL. Refresh the page a couple of times before you post it so that we're not going to just lynch him out of stupidity.
Better yet, declare your intention to do so and then wait a couple minutes.

If that's ok?
You don't need to ask permission. Just do it
It is never okay to VTL me, and I do not grant you permission to ever do so.

Still, I think it's pretty likely based on the nature of the claim that at least NoAh is likely town. Don't think any scum partner would advise him to out as he has, especially given that they'd likely have to have asked about their characters before claiming.
If he is scum, I want to know what scummate would tell him to reveal his character like that. Unless Copperfield is a scum character ig

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.
Popular is more commonly Town on here, but we have had Popular Scum.

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
Could work or might not depending on when people are available, especially Savant.
Why do you think scum could not concoct claims fast?

I’ve always viewed popular as SOP just to get it out of the way and confirm role.
I guess, but the need to confirm Popular early is questionable since Popular scum is a thing.
+ a minute chance of being hit with vanillaizer
Because it is vanillaizer bait?
Since when is Popular SOP? That’s Hated

Yeah. The problem with AI flavor is that town can easily clear multiple people with just flavor claims and scum need to have very good ways to counter act that and really good fake xlakms.
Not the hugerest concern for scum with an unknown theme split and 2 character questions.
page * 2
Four character claims and I am not even done with day 2. Ridiculous. I can understand that from a noob, but Helz, Kohai, and Magoroth should know better.

Could I lecture about Mafia theory? To me, the essence of Mafia is that it is a game of reading people. Not just behavior in general, but of figuring out what THIS person would do in THAT situation. Like any other mechanic, flavor claiming is good if it leads to thinking about whether or not the person claiming something would make that claim, and bad if it leads to analyzing how much sense the claim makes in a vacuum. Alignment-indicative flavor just needs good game design to go with it.
My N0 peek would be you because I feel like I have zero ability to read you.
I’m not tryna stall, I was busy with the ENT doc and running errands yesterday and now I got shit to do at home before I can post
