How was I supposed to get Palm Beach from "didn't register to vote"? Also wasn't it a dude who crashed that jet.

Pros and cons of a mass role claim.

Pros:

1. We can finally say we did it, and if it blows up in our face spectacularly we can always point back to Jim Carrie mafia as a cautionary tale.
2. YOLO.
3. Right away we'll be able to eliminate the PRs from the POE.
4. Late claimers or resistors could narrow down the POE still further; weak or shady role claims could narrow down the POE still further.
5. After we tighten the POE as much as reasonably possible, we could demand character claims from those in it, this DP -- so they basically have to think of an entire fake claim, role and character, right out the gate, which is a scum nightmare. They'd have to make their invented role at least sorta kinda fit with their character, and they still wouldn't know which characters of the four are safe, so decent chance to trap them in a CC.
6. We could potentially get a correct lynch DP1.

Cons:

1. It's crazy.
2. Everyone has to agree to it.
3. Ideally everyone should claim at the same time, which is difficult to pull off. It's easy to just stall and plead irl stuff.
4. We give away our roles to scum and basically forfeit the night game. Our PRs would be dead quickly and our mech game would be crippled by the transparency we will have brought on ourselves.
5. Whoever is last to claim will have great advantage if they happen to be scum.
6. We could easily still mislynch despite a mass role claim and then we just dropped our trousers for nothing.
7. Lunatic will have a "smh" attitude with us at endgame and that will just be the worst.

I have been curious how a game would play out if we all claimed our roles on day 1. I am not saying that we should, but, with scum receiving no cover roles, this would be as good of a time of any to try it lol

I would be totally willing to sign up for this crazy train lol. If everyone did it we could zero in on the roles that sounded most suspicious and demand that only those people character claim, thereby forcing scum to either choose blind from the 4 characters Lunatic gave them or make up their own fake claims entirely.

However, I think scum would just dodge it by pushing back on the idea of a mass claim altogether, and since it's quite plausible for town to object to a mass role claim as well, that doesn't leave us much to go on.

You started reading the series! I'm delighted.

Who is Jim Carrey?

Stop ragebaiting me!

This is a neat anticlaim mechanic, though it incentivizes town to stay mum about their characters for as long as possible, which precludes the need for fake claims anyway.

I have a guess at a theme split, but I guess there's no point to discussing theme.

Okeydoke /in

I appreciate that man. ❤️ Sorry for being prickly.

I'm sorry guys, I think I'm just burnt out and my fuse is short... please ignore me.

Sorry but that just irks me dude, especially considering it got four likes. I really could have planned better for his suicide, but I take exception to the idea that I shouldn't expect him not to commit suicide.

Pie would've turbolynched me when he saw wylted's Watcher flip, and Lunatic never copped me, so I'm not sure what you mean, big dawg.

Yeah I can see the Pie kill for endgame manipulation purposes. But Luna copped you on the night that he died. You and Wylted were considering leaving him alive and having you lawyering yourself. Had you done that, Luna would have reported an inno on you.

Oh I see. Well if I had lawyered I wouldn't have been able to redirect, which would have left Banana or Thoth free to use their powers, and that felt like too much of a risk. I still didn't know what Thoth's remaining power was and thought it might be a targeting power.

I could've played this better. My original idea was for wylted to take Odd Night Watcher and Nick Fuentes and for me to come up with a fake claim, but then he straight claimed Candace off the cuff and I just failed to repair the damage. I still had some hope of saving him when I claimed Watcher, but right after that he fake claimed 1x Vote Sensor and 1x Tracker and I knew he was dead. I floated the idea to him that he walk that back, claim he had a 1x BP and he was just trying to bait the NK with that Vote Sensor/Tracker shit, but I didn't know there was a 1x Commuter, so that might've looked bad. It was pretty frustrating, all in all. My role was the one perfect for a bus and his was perfect to take the safer claim, but there's no telling wylted not to do wylted. I should have come up with a better fake role claim immediately after he claimed Candace but I just really started to resent even having to think about the game on top of my other stressors.

I was genuinely angry about the boob joke fallout since that joke basically lost the game for me, lol. Guess I tried to compensate too much with humor, came off hammy. Still can't believe you guys genuinely considered that Rex put Candace's left tit in the game.

Pie would've turbolynched me when he saw wylted's Watcher flip, and Lunatic never copped me, so I'm not sure what you mean, big dawg.

Great job, Thoth and Banana! That was a real nail bitter.

GG Wryly. You played well

I played weakly but I thank you for the sentiment, my good sir.

also did u consider faking a result in one of us?

Sure, but after wylted's flip it would've been transparent. Thought it was better to try to create a fog of uncertainty.

Rex gave me Odd Night Watcher as a fake claim. I shouldn't have stuck with it after wylted straight claimed Candace but I was just so tired every time I tried to think of something better to go with Nick Fuentes, and after a while I got angry that I even had to use my brain like that in my few hours of down time, and just said fuck it.

Nah your judgment was sound, you did good. Surprised you guys waited until the last hour to lynch me, I thought you'd do it like immediately after wylted's flip.

Well done guys. Sorry I phoned it in so much this game. I really started to resent the burden of it with everything I got going on. Pie could've reined wylted in better, I'm sure.

Nah go ahead.

An hour left.

I hope Pie isn't reading this. Turn away, Pie!

So there is precedent for Rex giving multiple abilities to each scum. That was a good thought though.

Sigh.

Suikoden mafia, one scum was a JOAT and the second scum got two abilities. Second one wasn't called a JOAT, though, and I don't think two abilities really qualifies as a JOAT.

Ruyi Zhuan mafia both scum naturally got tiered abilities like everyone else.

Okay. Can someone explain the two JOATs thing to me like I'm a 2-year-old with a tummy ache.

so wylted was a joat, what is his partner? i am claiming i got an action failed message. u have two results that didnt get an action failed message. could be explained by a ninja or a redirector, but that doesnt explain an "action failed" 4 me. so if they have a ninja, that means they have another role preventing thing. which means they are some sort of joat, with wylted being one. my question is if we honestly believe that, because if not, me and u are in conflict based on that

Yeah I getcha now.

Oh wait I see. So either Banana is lying or the remaining scum has more than one ability. I don't think that's unusual, so I'm not sure that gives me anything. Lemme look up Rex's games again.

I will think about this in the shower.

My business is my own!
