Townreading Magoroth. It would be industrial-grade WIFOM for scum to claim that where it's most likely going to get them lynched in the absence of a stronger scumread.

FUCK I did not see that timer. Good catch whoever said that. Top town read as of right now.

I swear I'm the only person who reads things. My Calculus 2 professor wrote on the instructions for his exams that we could get extra points if we drew a smiley face on the bottom. He said I was the only person who drew one all semester, even though he told us about it after previous tests.

I'm not sure that anyone is clearly the most townread, and anyway that could backfire horribly if we've misread people.

I've had that same concern before. How could we pick someone at random and prove that our choice was actually random?

trying to decide if wylteds lynch every1 and see what happens attitude is more likly town or scum from him

In this setup, we literally don't have a choice other than lynching someone and seeing what happens.

Pursuing claims within a pool requires a POE, and the only data are:

Couldn’t agree more with whiteflame on that. I’m down to lynch at random, given the lack of obvious softs or other info to advance the game.

Mago claims he has never heard of his character

I’ve probably never heard of most of your characters

Literally the theme split laid out in the OP, so I don't think there's much value in that.

I know, but it could have caught scum who weren’t paying attention ;)

Maybe he feigned arrogance because he thinks we would wonder where that arrogance would come from? I doubt it, but Mafia is ultimately a game of WIFOM.

I'm just concerned about drawing attention to a couple of major characters.

I barely know anything about Andor. Are there only a couple of important male or female characters?

There is one soft that would help me specifically because it would let me figure out how best to use my role, but I still think it would be unwise.

Anyway, with the theme split known, the only reason to soft is to lock scum into fake-claims, and it might do more to help them figure out which characters to ask about. I say we don't soft.

Waaait a sec. No Pie... no Mag1c... no Lunatic... no Shining. Gasp. There is no one to check our fluff at all.

Some players get abusive towards people who pony up fluff posts. For more information, Google "fluffy pony abuse"

I’ll play if nobody else signs up today, accounting for the fact that I’m in Central time

I’m not very good at debating. Which is why I avoid “lay down your arguments, why am I scum?” It’s a noob trap. If people want to do that to me, I’ll vote them. Instead I pick up on things that people say. If people want to win who’s the best debater game, fine by me, but that’s not the game I’m playing.

A Mafia player who can't argue is like a basketball player who can't free-throw. Without specifying your points and letting people discuss them, the game devolves into 'orange sus'.
