It looks like we're leaning Mikal or Kohai today, and I think I would still rather go Mikal. On Kohai we just have him wanting a character claim from me and that he transitioned real quick from "Pie town" to "lynching Pie may be warranted"; on Mikal we have him wanting Pie lynched on the chance that scum can pull off two kills tonight, which is a lot more of a reach. This means Mikal was thinking Rex made a game where town loses unless we lynch the Hated DP1 out of an overabundance of caution, and it's just hard for me to buy that Mikal would seriously consider that.
As much as I agree with all this, and despite my own scumread of Mikal, I have a hard time believing that scum!Mikal would seriously argue those points. But I have a hard time believing that town!Mikal would argue them either, so I suppose it's a moot point.
Hmm. That's not a bad point. Jeez, Thoth, I'm an indecisive DP1 voter in the best of times, don't mindfuck me.
We have seen Mikal do some pretty ballsy things as scum before though.

Oh just fucking lynch me. I'd rather be unalived than have to deal with the fallout from a boob joke for the rest of the game.
Janet Jackson is that you?
I lol'd irl. That's a rare honor, so appreciate it accordingly.

VTL: Lunatic
I think I want to go here. After seeing him in my last game I think I figured out lunatic's scum meta. Lunatic, as scum, doesn't seem to try and make reads and push people. Compared to other games where he's fully pushing people I don't see that here
What is it with you and wylted on Lunatic? He made it pretty clear he didn't even really consent to this game, but once he had time he contributed and his reads don't look bad. He's in the same camp with Vader imo. Late to start but nothing jumps out as scummy.
I think Wryly has to be put in the POE. Not my top choice personally but I think the litmus test was really weird. For #1, this really didn't do much considering that it was treated as a joke. The worst case scenario for doing it is everyone treats it as a joke and you have no clue what happened. Best case scenario, you get a claim from someone that didn't read and CC'd. Again I get it, that is Wryly's personality, but that type of test does more harm than good. I don't think I would lynch but off of behavior that does sticks out.

VTL: Mikal
Jesus Christ this is the last time I make a titty joke in mafia. Your loss, you paranoid buzzkills! Can't believe AOC drawn on a boob is actually a datum we're seriously discussing. I expect this shit from wylted, but the rest of you, jeez. If wylted really is Candace that's on him for dumping his purse like a moron just because I made a joke.
I just got home and I'm wiped. Aside from a slight sus of Mikal I got nothing. I guess I'd rather go for him than Kohai, gun to my head. Sounds like I'm getting conflicting accounts of how common it is for Hated to deactivate at MYLO/LYLO. whiteflame is acting like it's uncommon for Hated to deactivate, which lends some support to Mikal. I still got a lot to do and will try to be on later.
A reminder that I will be with grandma at the hospital all day tomorrow, though I will still post when I can during wait times. Or maybe I'll just let Rex replace me since it seems like town is gonna sleepwalk to a big fat L. Your ELO doesn't change if you only play a partial game, right?
FACE CHANGER
BURN HIM, BURN THE INTRUDER
Ode to the Lost Like Button of Mafia
What joy you brought me
In times of stress
My ego boost
My time saver
My "read" sign
Oh the glory days
When a post would hit 5, 6, 7 likes
The heart leaping higher with each number
And the soul could rejoice
that success had landed
mirth was shared or shrewdness acknowledged
Then the mods came
Eyes red, truncheons bouncing in hand
With swift cruelty they stole you from me
My ego boost
My time saver
My "read" sign
I look to where you were
And see only "quote", "reply"
This minimalist nothing
Where posts stand naked, unadorned
Blank henges hulking silent on the hill
Guys I am so bored
I went into this game thinking I probably wouldn't be able to keep up. Didn't expect us to be at a very thin 4 pages by the end of day two. Jeez.
Mikal - Sus pile. Says his character is a Jew and that part of his role will sound really scummy, but mum on the deets. The wagon on Pie definitely feels like it could be scum!Mikal opportunism. Trying to get him lynched on the off chance there's an extra kill tonight? Eh. Regardless of the role he's given, Pie is a strong town player, and wanting to get rid of him early because of a low-probability variable is hard to rationalize from a town perspective. I'd like more people to weigh in on whether Hateds usually disable at MYLO/LYLO in their experience, so I can gauge the credibility of his claim that he's played few games where they did.
Pie - Despite Mikal's speculation that it's a convenient scum claim I think I'm still townpiling Pie for now. I have his full claim, which is more than I have for anyone else. Also I feel like scum!Pie more often keeps his claim to his chest as long as possible. I'm coming up blank when I try to think of a game where he was scum and fake claimed immediately, though that doesn't mean he never has.
Kohai - Null. Jumped on the Pie wagon a bit fast, I suppose.
whiteflame - Null. Measured and neutral as always. Hesitates to jump on the #SacrificePie! movement, but he'd do that as either alignment.
wylted - I don't know what to make of his bullshit about my left titty joke or whether he even is Candace Owens. I feel like there's no way he didn't get that I was joking, or at least I would have said so before Thoth and Kohai and Pie seemed to entertain the notion that I might not be joking.
Lunatic - Not enough to go off of. I want to town pile him because I feel like a sense of obligation to his scummate would have led him to post more than this if he was scum, but maybe he's just too busy.
Thoth - Nothing to go off of except casting some doubts about my Pie townlean. I know he's been inactive as scum before, so the above Lunatic reasoning doesn't apply.
Vader - Even nothinger to go off of. Don't even know his scum game.

My top two scum picks for this game would have been ben and Erica so there is also that
males sense with how much conspiracy Owens has been pushing at them
Can a liberal get a breakdown of this plz
Yeah I don't really buy that Mikal has seen "few Hateds that deactivate at all". Seems like Hateds that deactivate should be a common occurrence.
I don't understand why Hated would ever not deactivate at MYLO/LYLO. If a Hated makes it to a 4v2 they just need one vote and they can quickhammer. In a 2v1 they don't even need that.

I'm confused anyway. How is Hated a free kill for scum?
Hated goes to Mylo / LyLo if hated doesn't deactive scum get a quick hammer and a win
But Pie's saying his does disable at MYLO/LYLO, which now that I think about it is the only way that role even remotely deserves to exist.

So I take it that Mikal's "SOP claim" was telling us that something about his role seems scummy, without specifying what?
Yes and this will be how I will SOP claim from now on. All warning, no specificity -- like a vague, ominous prophecy in a bad play. "When the day phase doth strike three, thou wilt be upset with me!"

The schizoposter in me wonders if the Candace Owens' left tit claim was a 5head play to bait Candace into character-claiming and then retract.
Copy-pasting a fake role PM that isn't an obvious joke should be just as serious of an offense as copy-pasting a real role PM. Wryly apparently thought it was an obvious joke, but some of us may not have caught it as a joke. Not that all of my jokes in Mafia games on here have landed.
I continue to be baffled that anyone thought of taking it seriously
Y'all are no fun
When does it deactivate, if at all

If you can character claim that'll help us go somewhere
Yeah and it could also help scum come up with safe fake claims lol. I'm weighing it. We don't know what scum were given in the way of fake claims; could be they weren't given character claims, in which case the best thing to do is not give away which characters in the Candaceverse are already taken until we have more data and know who to press for a claim. We almost never do that though. Seems like there's always an unnecessary claim before DP2.
If it looks like I'll be too busy to contribute at all tomorrow how bout I just character claim then.

Wow this DP is moving slow. This really isn't good news for someone who only had today free.
If you’re going to be inactive, then just full claim, so we don’t go into tomorrow blind
I'm not full claiming, but I'm willing to character claim if this is a concern. I won't be completely afk tomorrow but I probably will be Monday.

No clue wtf is going on between wlyed / wryly.
wylted seems to get trigger-happy and vote me at least once per game for some reason. Or it was a reaction test. If it wasn't painfully clear, I was just horsing around and leaned into the joke because he wouldn't let it go.
Wow this DP is moving slow. This really isn't good news for someone who only had today free.
Forewarning, I will be busy tomorrow and gone all day at the hospital Monday.
Townpiling Pie for the Hated SOP for now, though I don't know what the track record is of scum claiming Hated to discourage wagons. I'm gonna assume if it's a common scum play he wouldn't do it.

You caught me. Here's my copied and pasted role PM.
You are Candace Owens' left tit. In a fit of madness and Chardonnay one night, you stood in front of a mirror as flashes of lightning back-lit your empty apartment, and drew AOC's face over your left breast with a permanent marker. AOC's laughing open mouth encompassed your entire areola.
By day, you only hear AOC's muffled taunts and whispers through your bra and blouse, undermining your talking points mid-debate and giving a constant stream of leftist propaganda that steadily erodes your sanity. By night, you stand shirtless in front of your bathroom mirror and have full-blown schizophrenic screaming arguments with Titty AOC. Secretly you yearn to know if the real AOC has a Candace Owens drawn on her right titty -- if you live in her head rent-free as she does in yours -- but deep down you know there's only a perfect pair of B-cup Latina breasts under there. Therefore, you are the Vulnerable Double Voter! By day you may double vote because you are motivated to raise your voice to speak over AOC's menacing whispers in your bra, but if anyone visits you at night and catches you arguing shirtless with your own titty in the mirror, you will have a nervous breakdown and lose your double voting powers. You win with -- well, you really win once you're put on some industrial-grade antipsychotics.
Wait WTF???
Yeah, I should be modkilled soon.
