There's jack shit reason to vote Mestari rn other than Alyssa voting him for a joke and Pie voting him because he always has a hard-on to press someone for a claim DP1. Kohai and wylted are just wagon followers


and Mestari voted himself because Mestari


where's the beef

Wryly

Hmm. Gonna have to concede Mestari's point there. That tidbit does not aid town and only narrows down who the other leader might be for scum.

Wryly

We shouldn't have let Thoth make his own bingo card


"Thoth shares obscure tangential anecdote" should've been on there

Wryly
Why are we killing Mestari? Is this some kind of meme?


He joked about being a godfather on Discord, a wagon started, Pie pressed and the followers followed


Wryly

Nah specifically make an argument for why revealing that the other town leader tried to recruit him will have a negative impact

We're going for the new gangbang world record.

Btw, I'm not going to claim. Mostly because I don't feel like it. It's kinda like when the homeowners association president told me I couldn't play loud music after 10pm so I started blasting white noise on the boom box outside their house.


Pure spite. I can always dig it.


Can we stop giving scum free info like the fact that the other guild leader attempted to recruit you? That says something about one of the confirmed town players. If we're going to just give a manuscript then speed lynch me instead. Trust me when I say to just let the structural components of the game go unspoken about for a day or two.


It's not a super critical piece of datum, my guy.

Wryly
Like, I don't understand my guy. "I don't want us to waste time getting reads that may be alignment indicative on me when I can confirm myself later. Let's limit the mafia's ability to make mistakes, and it's okay because maybe town makes the mistake too!"

Oh well, you already screwed the pooch so I'm done making my point. If the other guild leader outs though, I'm jumping off a bridge.


The experienced scum players can adeptly pull out of a strafe run on someone if it suddenly turns out they can town confirm themselves, and make it look innocent. It's not a huge loss, but I suppose there is some utility in keeping it mum to milk behavioral data.


But definitely don't jump off the bridge until you're no longer contributing entertainment value to the game. That's just being selfish.

Probably not going to be super active until tomorrow, but I have been thinking. There are at least a few characters with roles that work even if they aren't recruited to a faction. And we know that there will be no NK tonight. What if we just VTNL today, see what info we get from the NP, then decide on a lynch tomorrow with more information? It seems like a pretty safe course of action to me. I'm curious what everyone else thinks.


With this many players our POEs are gonna be hella wide early on, we might not want to pass up any opportunity to winnow it down

Wryly

Yeah sorry been occupied


My thoughts are that once you lynch me you're gonna go to MYLO tomorrow, scum will NK wylted and that means the 3P Caroler will be in MYLO with you. You'll probably lynch within Rex or Mago or Luna and if you hit the 3P that's GG. So while I get the logic on lynching me it leaves you with a thin fucking margin for error next DP and I ONLY JUST LIFTED MYSELF FROM LAST PLACE IN ELO 😭


I have no idea how much I can trust Pie that he would never claim Roleblocker as scum, could be wifom.


Luna I remain skeptical about because scum are given investigatives frequently and he could've known about the IC from that.


If either of those 2 is scum and makes it to MYLO we're probably fucked, I'm pretty sure they could control the narrative effectively enough to mislynch (it's a compliment take it brochachos). Rex could too but only if he showed up enough lol


I've said before I buy Shining's claim


Mago and Rex are just unconfirmed nulls. One or both could be scum trying to farm towncred by defending me since they know I'm gonna flip town and my lynch is inevitable atp anyway


I'll be on later tonight

Wryly

We're ordering pizza and watching Good Fortune or Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die, haven't decided which.


Do me a favor and don't lynch me until I get back. If my lynch is a foregone conclusion you might as well take your time and wring the DP for all the behavioral data it's worth anyway.

Wryly

Dunno if I agree with that list. Pie could be a scum Roleblocker and Lunatic could be a scum Role Cop or something. Agree on Mago and Rex. Shining I townread, unless Pie is also scum and lying for him about the message. The main thing for me with Pie is that if town does not have a Roleblocker then town had only a 1x Doctor for protection. It's not outside the realm of possibility though.

Wryly

Pie is role confirmed which is more than I know about Rex. He could be straight-claiming a scum Roleblocker. I townread Shining.


I need to think about this.


I'm supposed to be studying my caregiver training material right now, I feel guilty every time I tab back into mafia but I can't help myself, this game is evil

Wryly
Come on Rex don’t act like you don’t know why wryly is under suspicion here. Not gonna repeat it for the fiftieth time though, if you don’t wanna read then that’s on you. If she flips scum though I’m keeping tabs on all those who defended her


I get why I'm under suspicion, but I think you also shouldn't pretend why it would beggar someone's belief that I would fake claim a Carol when I knew damn well there was no Caroler in the game who could back up my claim

Wryly
I hate mafia sometimes. Was supposed to be asleep hours ago but my mind keeps me up to check the thread every damn five minutes


I think the game taps into our natural tribal and sociosurvival instincts which activates the nervous system hard

Wryly

In the end it was just too much unbelievable shit stacking up, like you making a mistake about what Savant said, Savant telling you your BP was used but you weren't attacked, Savant not answering you, etc. I just couldn't believe you would go that deep into WIFOM plays as scum.
