I promptly went afk at day end, didn't even wait for the flip :P

Easy enough though, we strong DC, no need to worry about what the role is or the protection in all honesty. We lose Brazil to a watcher or a veteran but we have nothing to combat a watcher so I'm not worried there and vet seems above the scope of this game.

Honestly, I have no clue who to roleblock. My gut says Saw but I don't know if that is cruel irony or because I read something that tipped me off.

Could rb dcpat, if we believe he's a pr.

Great job btw everyone! Sorry I wasn't around for day end. But I knew you guys had this in the bag :)
 
I’m in a weird position where I don’t know how to approach things as scum, as this my first time being a baddie and second game overrall. Even when I was town in berserk I was a mason so I had someone to bounce things off of. I guess I’ll continue to play the role of town who’s bad at mafia, it really comes naturally ;)

Keep it up Benghis, you're doing fine!

Both you and Sorian are ordinary mafias. We could bus either of you at some point (sooner rather than later to make it more believable). It looks like Sorian is putting heat on you already. Ideally I'd like to put heat on Sorian lol. Didn't quite work out this day phase though.
---
If I ever want to claim town role cop, I need to pick my targets in such a way that a townie would, but still provide useful information to us. I could check out Include our Sawneeks. Splinter also seems awfully quiet. DCPat is another choice too. Unfortunately can't move until N2 though :P

Since tonight is a good night to use the strong kill, we may as well kill the PR instead of blocking it. We could always wait on the strong but it's best to get it down to one shot right away just so we don't waste it if things flip on Brazil suddenly.
 
I was the first to vote against rac, and I’ll gladly kill DCPat tonight. And with that I’ll have killed both Berserk scum players that were also in this game on D1 :P

Sweet, sweet justice.
 

Swamped

Oh you and your new people rules lol

XD XD XD

And if there's a watcher on DCPat...too bad I guess. Bus Brazil.

As for who to roleblock...could pick someone at random lol. Guess we'll learn more once my ability comes into play. Even though GoG was a vote frontrunner, she didn't seem too concerned about getting lynched, so she's likely to be ordinary. I'm fine with rb-ing Saw too. If she is a PR, she will know how to optimally use it.

Was anyone overly suspicious of any of us? If so, that person could also be an rb candidate. But I think it was just Include about Brazil.

Yeah we actually dodged most heat. Hell, I think I gave the most attention to Benghis.
 
Benghis will inevitably get more heat on D2, though. Probably not nearly enough for a bus, but it'll be there.
 
And I just wanna point out that maybe DCPat is vanilla and baiting us before hindsight kicks in :lol

It's not like we have any other soft claims or major PR hints, though, so it's alright.

There's no way that was a bait claim, it was a "get this heat off me" claim. Either he's a PR, another type of scum/neutral, or just a real greedy vanilla that wants to play more.
 

Swamped

Dazzling Mafia Queen
I think there's something to his claim too. He was so nervous the entire day phase. If I wasn't so scummy I'd have backed off him thinking he might have been a PR.

Is it just me or is every active townie being tinfoiled/scumread? I had to shush myself from blurting out how townie I thought melon was when she started getting some heat :P

I guess people seem trusting of Saw

I think it's a little premature to talk about bussing. There's suspicion around benghis, but he wasn't even a wagon yesterday.

@Benghis Khan don't be put off by people scum reading you. One thing that helps stupidly much is to give a good impression. Make reads that you feel will resonate well with other players and be concise as volume isn't that important. Better to have one good read than four lacking.

Benghis Khan said:
Also to follow on I found terra's attack on royalflush to be opportunistic; an attempt to get an easy lynch in. So he is who I suspect the most so far.
This isn't bad, but it's a very heavy accusation for its size and doesn't look good next to Terra's big attack on Flush. It's better to write that after having posted about Terra for a while or as a part of a larger analysis.

I guess Sawneeks then? No one else to really block if DC is dead

Well Include is another choice, she may be a PR

I like the idea that Include is a neutral, would rather neutrals act personally.

More than likely though, she feels vanilla just because of the brashness.

I feel like she's an excellent role check if anything.

I'm also going to take the time and say before day end, just in case something unfortunate happens, that Swamped has been giving me weird vibes this day. I'm going to go back and see everything she said and why that is.

Is it just me or does this look like a weak cop crumb?

Gun to my head I would say Terra is the neutral. He seems to kinda be playing his game and avoiding too much attention.

My internal logic for roleblocking as Mafia is A: block likely/known roles, if unavailable B: block townies with best reads
 

Ty4on

Totally missed that, great choice.
I randomly remembered it in the shower lol

When I went back to his post it was more explicit than I thought. I believed it was just "I felt bad about Swamped, gonna read her" and not the whole "hope nothing happens to me, wink wink nudge".

If you can't figure it out

Imma try to defend Terra a bit, but if we could get someone active lynched that would be SWEET

I need sleep too -_-

If we had a hidden partner it had definitively be Terra with his odd town read of me and a single paragraph town reading both Brazil and Swamped.

I wish I were a good player

Things are going in an ok direction so far, but I feel a little wary. I didn't like that bit of discussion because it really got them talking and woke Terra up. I felt like relieving pressure on Terra would be good for us.

Hope I manage to cause some distrust over Saw. She was a bit too eager and her argument lacked a bit of polish. It's a pure argument though so it might backfire. She seemed a bit tunneled

Wait, you guys didn't know? I'm so sorry! I announced a few weeks ago on discord. At any rate, at least diarrhea is better than nausea/morning sickness! I count myself lucky.

Nice job, looks like our kill went through without a hitch. We probably don't have a regular watcher, but maybe there are other self-watchers out there.

I could see Terra getting lynched today, but it's still early.

Man I really want to turn up the heat on Sorian. Just need to figure out how...do you have to be such a good fake townie Sorian?!?!

@Benghis Khan if you don't feel like posting or don't know what to say don't be afraid to ask here. We're here to help.

I'm not joking when I make those posts of feeling awful. It's weird for me to open the thread without a big sense of dread above me.

You can also use your timezone to your advantage if you wanna post when activity is low. 3pm to 9pm Australian Eastern Time is when activity is usually at its lowest. Players like Saw in the west coast may be up late, Europeans can be waking up here and Fran is usually posting a bit around 8pm as he prepares for work. In my experience euros are usually not that active in this time slot either unless something happens.
 

Ty4on

Where do you feel the mood is heading @Sorian ? Like if we were to completely coast where would it go.

I wanna turn up the heat at Saw just for paranoia, but I feel like Gotham is a likely lynch because it makes a ton of sense. We gotta be careful with Benghis, but I feel like the suspicion here is still weak and it's in our interest to delay/avoid that lynch because the bus really isn't going to give us that much.

Let's try and avoid that in the future lol

Doesn't matter since the alternative wasn't scum :P

To Ty: The mood is away from us for the most part and it will probably hang their.

Vere (who must not be a weak cop) could potentially convince people because he's on the right track. Gorlak and Fran kind of are too but they are both known for tunneling weird shit so as long as I keep pushing there, most will just blow it off as noise.
 

Swamped

No, sorry for my inactivity!

bah, let's just hope that nobody was really convinced by Vere. Nobody seems to have brought it up at any rate.

Who are you guys leaning towards voting for? Still early in the day, just curious. I myself really don't know, and I need to get on that.

No clue, my homeland vote is fine, I might push back on Gorlak if he rolls back my way since he isn't making sense.

Wanted to get some activity in since I had time this morning but couldn't :(

@Sorian have you already voted this day phase?

@Brazil I was thinking Splinter too. Let's see how it goes. Maybe I can still vote Sorian in a way that makes sense. Votes for him won't snowball I don't think. And if they do would make me look good?

Man I really want to turn up the heat on Sorian. Just need to figure out how...do you have to be such a good fake townie Sorian?!?!
I've decided it's pointless to read Sorian, especially early game, so that's the kinda townie I'm playing

We don't really want him lynched so I don't think it's that important to bus him. Sorian is also good at staying alive despite a lot of heat.

I'm not going Gir, but go there if you want.

I wanna spur some Gotham discussion. If you're right Swamped role claim would be :hungry_face:

Sorry I brought up Sorian points!!! Hope that post doesn't make me look scummy...Just setting up in case I need to bus in the future. I'm pretty sure nobody is going to vote for Sorian anyway. It's all about gir and splinter looks like.

Well this phase has been a nightmare for me, fun story; I've recently moved and I'm waiting for my isp to connect my internet. In the meantime they're giving me the most unreliable 4g connection.

Jesus Christ, this is an incredibly comfortable position to be in and I'm still anxious. Being scum is hard.
I think we've pretty much got this in our bag actually. We will get this and then we only need five mislynches ignoring kill blocking shenanigans.

The longer it takes them to see any of our flips the greater the paranoia. RN the "town leader" is Saw, but she is known for playing really well as scum.
