I Rolestopped you to protect you, which means your self-Rolecop should have failed unless I was redirected, and you would only Rolecop yourself if you were also redirected. A Bus Driver on us explains it.


Ooh! Finally some good grist for the deduction mill. I wish it was enough to allow me to vote more decisively, but it's still something. If they have a Bus Driver and I do vote based on this datum we're fucked because this is MYLO. Gotta be methodical here. I'd like your character and justification, and I want to hear the rest of wylted's abilities and his justification.

I am reasonably confident that wylted is lying about his results. If anyone else wants to claim today, now is the time to do so in case it explains to me why wylted saw what he did, in which case I shouldn't need to full-claim.


The plot thickens!

Wryly

Are you shitting me. I sus Mikal all last DP because he wanted to lynch Pie for some outlying possibility and it turns out there actually were two NKs? Then why did Pie's role PM say his Hated deactivates at DP3 instead of just at MYLO/LYLO?


Sorry, Mikal. Guess you were right.

Wryly

What the hell. I don't understand where that wagon on Lunatic even came from. Our Cop is outed and wylted dumped even more of his purse out, this was so pointless.

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.

Wryly
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.

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.

Wryly

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?

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

Wryly

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.

If I put hateds in a game, I personally would not want them to deactivate at mylo, merely because I want to encourage not claiming these negative utility roles long term.


It's SOP dude

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

In games I've been in its only popular. Hates role is to die most times. Much less the few I have seen a re mylo and lylo. Not a dp3 one


So the moderator just hands scum a free lynch basically? Wtf.

Wryly

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
