Welcome, scumteam.

Link to game thread.

Your roles:

Comrade Sparkster:
But there's one thing
That everyone's wondering
When will you die?

You are John Linnell, with the song When Will You Die. Cofounder of the band, singer, and songwriter, you’re known as the more introverted of the two Johns. You’re the self-proclaimed flamboyant member of the band. Also, you once finished ninth in a People magazine online poll for "The Most Beautiful People of 1998."

You are a Poisoner, aligned with the Mafia. As a member of the mafia, during the Night Phase, you may submit the factional kill using the command KILL: [target], with [target] replaced by the username of the player you intend to target, which will kill the targeted player. Additionally, at one point in the game, during the Night Phase, you may PM me the command WHEN WILL YOU DIE: [target]. This will act as the factional kill; it is considered a Strong kill, capable of piercing whatever protections the target may possess. However, because the kill is executed via a poison, the target will not die until after the following Night Phase. Oh, and you can vote on top of all that, obviously.

You win when the mafia holds a majority of the votes.

TheWorthyEdge:
John, I've been bad
And they're coming after me
Done someone wrong
And I fear that it was me

You are John Flansburgh, with the song Sapphire Bullets of Pure Love. Cofounder of the band, singer, and songwriter, you’re known as the more extroverted of the two Johns. You’re also the band’s left-handed guitarist.

You are a Roleblocker, aligned with the Mafia. As a member of the mafia, during the Night Phase, you may submit the factional kill using the command KILL: [target], with [target] replaced by the username of the player you intend to target, which will kill the targeted player. Additionally, during the Night Phase, you may PM me the command SAPPHIRE BULLETS: [target]. This will suppress the target’s command that they may have submitted during that Night Phase. However, unless you are the last Mafia-aligned player remaining, you may not submit both of these commands during the same night. Oh, and you can vote on top of all that, obviously.

You win when the mafia holds a majority of the votes.

Dream:
I heard They Might Be
Somewhere near this town
They Might Be Giants got lost
Driving around

You are Danny Weinkauf, with the song They Got Lost. You’re the band’s bassist, known for your red pants. Touring with the band, you’ve gotten lost with them driving around plenty of times; the song is a composite of a number of those occasions.

You are a Bus Driver, aligned with the Mafia. As a member of the mafia, during the Night Phase, you may submit the factional kill using the command KILL: [target], with [target] replaced by the username of the player you intend to target, which will kill the targeted player. Additionally, during the Night Phase, you may PM me the command THEY GOT LOST: [target] and [target]. This will switch the positions of your targets, with each receiving actions aimed at the other in their stead. However, unless you are the last Mafia-aligned player remaining, you may not submit both of these commands during the same night. Oh, and you can vote on top of all that, obviously.

You win when the mafia holds a majority of the votes.

Fran:
We can't be silent
'Cause they might be giants
And what are we going to do unless they are?

You are Dan Miller, with the song They Might Be Giants. You’re the lead guitarist who joined up with the band some twenty years ago to tour for the release of Severe Tire Damage, though you’ve played with Danny Weinkauf since before that. Play it loud, my man.

You are a Goon, aligned with the Mafia. As a member of the mafia, during the Night Phase, you may submit the factional kill using the command KILL: [target], with [target] replaced by the username of the player you intend to target, which will kill the targeted player. Oh, and you can vote on top of all that, obviously.

You win when the mafia holds a majority of the votes.

Extreme Tactician:
I'm steaming up the inside
Of my Marty Beller mask
'Cause I'm really Whitney Houston
On the drums

You are Marty Beller, with the song Marty Beller Mask. You’re the new guy of the band, the only one who doesn’t drink, and a wicked drummer to boot. Also, you’re a fan of Whitney Houston - I don’t think you were involved in her unfortunate death, however.

You are a Godfather Ninja, aligned with the Mafia. As a member of the mafia, during the Night Phase, you may submit the factional kill using the command KILL: [target], with [target] replaced by the username of the player you intend to target, which will kill the targeted player. Additionally, at one point in the game, during the Night Phase, you may PM me the command PUT ON THE MARTY MASK: [target]. This will act as the factional kill; during that Night Phase only, your movement will be undetected, and anyone who attempts to deduce your alignment will receive a report claiming you are affiliated with the Town. Oh, and you can vote on top of all that, obviously.

You win when the mafia holds a majority of the votes.

This is some wild shit maynard
I think it would be real easy to make people real suspicious of Kawl and then nk whoever

I will try to make sure that Kawl is the centre of attention early on

Hi teammates!

Is this the first time for anyone playing as mafia?

I played once about six or so years ago.

I would imagine that the best thing we can do for Day 1 is to not stand out much either by being too active or inactive. Unless you are known for high/low activity and thus might arouse suspicions by acting differently?

I'm already know as a heavy poster so I will likely post a lot.

I don't have a target. In fact I think that the worse thing we could do right now is look for a target.

We win if town can't find us. We don't need a convoluted plan or a big scheme. We just need to blend and don't raise any flags. The best way to do that is play as usual.

Looking at our roles we have:

- Poisoner: This also work as strong kill. The problem with a poisoner is that town may have a role that could cure poison. I would use this role early in the game. Also one shoot make me think that town don't have a lot of protective roles.
- Roleblock
- Switcher: This is a really good role. I would change any of us with a townie so we could fool the cop.
- Goon: Worm, you gave me the lamest role. I though that we had something special after LB2
- Godfather Ninja: So town will have 2 investigative roles: a cop and a tracker/motion detector/etc. The cop may be unlimited shots but the other investigative role could be x-shot.

Also, If during D1 someone votes for any of you or call you out the most important rule is DONT FREAK OUT. Your voter is bluffing and looking for reactions. And OMGUS vote always looks bad. Just question the vote and engage in the discussion without making too much fuss.

What's our battle strategy? Should we act casual day one? Or be more assertive?

Again: Just play as you always do. Our wincon is just to survive so we just need to blend in so town can't find us. The best way to do that is play as usually.

We just need to engage with discussions and ask questions to make it look like we are trying to catch scum. Nothing more. Town are completely in the dark and they have to do all the work trying to find scum. Most likely they will shoot themselves if we don't give them nothing to work with.

One thing in our favour: The EOD time is absolutely shitty for europeans so a lot of players will miss those. Less noise close to EOD is better for us.

Who won't be usually around for EOD here?

added the YouTube links for the songs associated with your cover roles, in case you'd like to listen

not that I expect it to come up, but in case it does if/when you decide to use them, they're available

Sparks you need to stop coasting and do something. Anything.

Right now I would say that the lynch will be between you and AB for inactivivy and if that's the case I will have to bus you.
 
Franconp

Franconp

Frank
You don't need to make someone else suspicious. Just need to answer questions. People has been asking about you and Kawl, you should answer that. Maybe prod one of the inactives but without voting for them and comment about something that has been discussed.

The game is moving really slow and that benefits us. With a little bit of activity we are safe.

Be careful with posts like that. Rolefishing is scummy. A rolefish so direct will likely considered as a joke but with so little content that could be important when choosing who to vote.

I love to rolefish for some reason

But you're right

I can't vote for Stu in good conscience and If I vote for rac that may seem suspicious

Hunh I think rac may have given me a good vote thing

Voting for inactive is always a mafia tradition, I forget about that sometimes

I think that right now we are mostly OK.

I don't see anyone voting either me or ET right now. TWE I think is ok. There is kind of a consensus not to vote new players so I don't see a Dream's lynch. Sparks, I don't know. The latest post are better and AB and Zipped are MIA and looking suspicious. Rac is also an easy mislynch. I think the lynch will be between those four (I'm pretty sure that I'm wrong and someone else random will be lynched in the last minute as always) but I think that AB and Zipped are in the lead right now. The problem is that this vote is tied to inactivity. If they start posting more the vote can go elsewhere easily.

Comrade, I think you need to be low key next day phase or at least as much as you can without rousing suspicion.

I might switch you with a townie during night ohase.

I'm missing something or neither of us except Sparks haven't voted?

I think we should start voting and spread them. @Nomad Sparkster if you are in trouble near the end of day you should change your vote to the leader for self preservation.

Who should I vote for? Blend I’m somewhat defending. Should I Vote on chugger since I mentioned him being suspicious with all that vote changing. LP I claimed as someone that I have no clue on how to read.
 
Franconp

Franconp

Frank
Whoever you want. Just don't contradict yourself. I would stay out of the leading lynches. We don't need to throw fire there and have our votes analized later.
 
Franconp

Franconp

Frank
Yes. And I don't think it would be wise to defend him. He will be lynched before too long if this keep going and we should be tied to him.

He should defend himself. @Nomad Sparkster if you want some help how to defend yourself just ask here and we will try to help you.

I don't know if this will work or not but I would post in the thread and try to look lost. Don't throw shade at another player or anything like that. Just try to look as a confused townie.

That MAY give you townie points.

Voted for rac so him and me can be tied

what else can i do here?
Click to expand...

That may not work. Rac has his vote on LP so he can untie.

You need to play as a confused townie who don't have a scum chat to help him. If you are still on the lead with 20 minutes left I would try a fake claim but don't rush it.
 
Franconp

Franconp

Frank
It's OK. I think we still have time.

You have been in the lead for a while and noone tried to save you so that could make town think that you are on your own.
 
Franconp

Frank
If you want to force a counterclaim. That way we would know who the real doctor is.

I was thinking hider. You hide behind a player every night and if you target scum you die.
