oh probably should've posted the name. I'm "Ravishing" Rick Rude.

and the 80s was well before i was born so a lot of this lore is going to go right over my head. Andre and Ric Flair are two I know but not in the context of the WWF.

excited to be in this crew though, and with the new wrestling officianado Ephi herself!

Nope. Nope nope nope. Played that game already, saw the confusion that's caused before.

Let's do this properly eh? XD

You are King Kong Bundy, the Nexus, and you are aligned with the Heenan Family (Mafia).

Weighing in at over 450 pounds, you are a huge force to be reckoned with, things just kind of bounce off of you and go in random directions. Except like, bullets, of course.

Any actions targeting you at night will be redirected to a random player, except kills.

So I'm guessing when Zipped isn't stronging, possibly due to his plan to crumb mafia to the thread with his gif game, it will probably be me submitting kills.

On the other hand I can be targeted by kills and in thread actions.
If I am unlucky I can probably be blamed for all sorts of things I didn't actually do with no easy way of working out what anyone who so much as glances my way think they've seen.
And with my luck if someone cops me it will bounce to one of you so I get red checked anyway, lol.

As I understand it proper town nexuses should actually claim early. And probably get voted out for it. So playing it straight isn't an option unless I think I can pull off "whoops, didn't realise that's how I was meant to play" or "I refuse to accept there's only one way to play" and I don't think I can pull that off like Wiz kinda did :p
But enough of all that. Problems for another day.

I'm looking forward to playing with you

I think thanks to the Princess bride (and the fact that there are so many heel houses in 80’s wrestling) that crumbing my actual role using Princess Bride Gifs is a solid play.

however, if y’all disagree then I won’t. We are a team, and I want to do what’s best for the team.

“Ravishing” Rick Rude, the Roleblocker, and you are aligned with the Heenan Family (Mafia).

As the ravishing one himself, people stop what they’re doing when they see your amazing body.

At night, you may submit the command Roleblock: Player Name to block your target from performing any actions that night.

for you it might just be beneficial to not claim any redirect since that would work well with getting you cleared by a possible cop. it just gets messy if there's a watcher but, eh, we can work with the claim as we go along. think whatever your fake ends up being it should be something that doesn't move and any 'contradictions' could be explained away as a switcher. :p

and zipped im fine if you want to post princess bride! dunno how immediate people would be to connect andre with scum but you should be fine just posting them. people have posted villain gifs before in games and it wasnt a red flag.

Oh I forgot to copy in the particulars of my role.

here is the beef:

At night, you may submit the command Strongman: Player Name to override the Mafia faction kill and go through any protection on your target.

Everyone is trying really hard to act townie, and we even have a sub optimal Miller claim.

it’s not normal shit posting and survival.

it feels a lot more like “I’m scum and I want to win who are we killing tonight”.

A good way to check would be to flip the claimed Miller. If Jman flips Miller then unless that’s the one townie in a sea of scum, we are dealing with a nice one large scum team game.

I’m discounting a second scum team because of our size and the size of the game. 4 sets of 5 makes sense, but really just cause it’s got that smarmy cheeky feeling.

Also the mass claim day 1 idea REEKS of “let’s figure out the best targets and hide” scum play.

Ah okay. I could see that since we have a BP and a redirect but i'd wait until we have another scum team to really nail it down. we should know by the end of this day phase tho

Zeke may be a decent cop check target for us. gonna wait until he shows back up and then what he does but usually a quiet zeke means he has something cool he wants to use role-wise and therefore doesnt want to die.

Re: hot take #1 it's actually me trying to take some lessons from my champs game. I feel like I got some continuing education credits from my qualifier and trying to see how to apply what I picked up with how I usually approach things.
Click to expand...
Hedin this is for when you read it later but I 100% agree with how you played jman's claim. obviously not going to say this in the thread but taking those hard stances gave a direction in a fairly wishy washy state of the game and got stuff rolling, not to mention helped clear up jman. now maybe im wrong and you're a neutral or something but im banking on you being town and im hoping you keep this continuing ed play going.

shame im gonna use it to help push for your death later on but maybe town will learn something after the fact :p

The vote tool inflates counts sometimes, I think we're both slightly under the bar at the moment despite the tool saying we're clear.
It's more obvious if you iso low post count people because the lack of posts is immediately visible, whereas obviously nobody is going to count high voters to see how out it is.

a thought i had before going to bed last night. rover bounced off jman when it was pointed out that a cop existing likely means a miller exists. rover is the kinda player who would make assumptions about the gamestate even if he wasnt the cop but - and i say this with an emphasis on the but - maybe rover is the cop? and thats why he backed off?

I might catch some heat for asking these questions today, because I know it really looks like fake interest in a vote. but I really am short on time today. So if I have to serve a nothing burger... I guess I'll eat it as well.

my biggest fear this game are night actions. me thinks we got some bullets flying and a cop running free. hedin seems to imply there's a hunter/flavor hunter out there too but we'll see with his flip (if it's still him, vote tool is fucked)

Yeah there's either a town vig/SK here, I'd love for Hedin to be a hunter, he'd take out Zeke and that'd be lovely.

gonna go work but what are we thinking for these tonight?

not sure what the strategy is with scum role cops - do we check people we think will live long or people we think have roles?

also open for a RB suggestion and who to kill. Donnie would've been my pick but his vote there at the end should give him heat so im k with keeping him. Kopite is a good low info kill. what are people thinking

only claims we have are:
Miller - Jman
Loved - HP

everyone else is a shrug.
 
Geno

I think: Role Cop a non vocal town player, kill a mid player that's doesn't have heat on them, roleblock a vocal town player. Unless someone caught anyone hinting at their role.

I think Blocking or Kill Rover would be a good play. Mid-pack semi vocal player, and we already think that Rover could be able to check alignment.

Role cop? not sure maybe EC or ATP?

yeah, i like this idea. My suggestions would be;

Role Cop: Purely on post count would be Kopite but im kinda feeling a Turm/Zeke check.
Kill: nin? most people have heat on them and the one's that dont are either us (lol) or claimed like Jman and HP. could also put ATP here i s'pose
Roleblock: Rover would be good if he gets heat again and he couldnt provide any info. Or we could go Bold and hit Chuggs/Donnie.

I did catch EC randomly defending Fate pretty openly after the triple vote during the middle of the day. Dunno if that's just EC-being-EC or they are actually buddies of some kind.
Geno said:
Hm, why does it say one roleblock though? If they were targeted by 2 then 1 would go through? A hint at a town roleblocker?
Click to expand...
Hmmm, yeah, it's worded like it's anticipating two roleblocks. Dunno if that means a town RB or an item that can RB or what but it does imply multiple sources.
Zippedpinhead said:
actually who wanted the mass claim the most?

Turm started it, Rover kept bringing it up, and Jman focused on it a bit.

Looks like LP is on you Sawneeks, who are we taking out tonight?

Eh, unless LP is a cop im not toooo worried. ATP was wondering why i didnt move my vote either so there's some eyebrow raise. should be fine

i say before LP is actually the cop and im fucked lol

Will wait for Ephi to come chime in but I dont think we need to stronman kill tonight. i would expect a doc on a louder person then the mid ground.

so far the suggestions are;

Role Cop: Kopite, Turm, Zeke, EC, or ATP
Kill: Rover, nin, ATP
Roleblock: Rover, Chuggs, Donnie

dont hold back on throwing names out! we're all in fairly different timezones so it's best to discuss this now and not closer to day end.
 
Isaac

Isaac

Oh, yeah!
I'm fine with RC who you all want to RC since you all know how the others play more than I do

For Kopite maybe it's just general disinterest in Day 1? Honestly I wouldn't know the day started if I hadn't checked back on the thread.

Yep, just submit their name, then the action, then the target, so I have all the relevant info.

So if it was for you, someone would say "Sawneeks: Roleblock: Player A" in highlight, just makes it easier for me that way.

How do you do, fellow mafia?
Morning, sorry about yesterday. I didn't mean to duck near EOD, my phone signal was so spotty I gave up on keeping up and once I got home I just crashed.

I do expect to be around for others, and at an actual computer so that shouldn't be an issue.

I'd have felt obligated to sit on that vote anyway as I was the one pushing it, but I could at least have said I could see something and wanted to stick with it instead of being non-present. Oh well.

I can't say I actually expected Hedin to go out when I chose him to go for.
Mostly glad Hedin is gone before he can be scary, but a little sad that late fate swing didn't work, might have been fun to tunnel the fuck out of people for veering away to save him :(

From the tally I kept as I was going through, other than turmoil suggesting it in the first place
Yeses were Jman, ATP, EC, You
Nos were Rover, Sparks, Chuggs, Fate
Well, Rover started as a no but seemed for it by the time he was bringing it up for the fifth or so time.

I'm not actually sure any of the yeses are from people that could be taken as giving them seriously.

Click to expand...

I can see the case for either.
If someone is a particular concern and you feel the need to know what they might come out with, go with them.
Otherwise I'd probably err towards those who are likely to live long naturally, if only to find out if we're likely to need to make them living less long a priority.

Sawneeks said:
Kopite is a good low info kill. what are people thinking
Click to expand...
He wouldn't be a priority for me yet because we might be able to push him later. Unless you think he's likely to come out with something particularly towny. I'm not sure I've ever actually played with a town version of him.

Sawneeks said:
Kill: Rover, nin, ATP
Click to expand...
Of these I prefer Nin. Rover might still get some sideeye because of the way he thinks things through, and if anyone actually pays attention to Hedin in death they might look at ATP.

Geno said:

Click to expand...
The only thing I have is a tinfoil theory that Donnie is a neutral based on the absolute nothing that is a thanos gif and his very strong reaction to being scumread by someone most people weren't even listening to and maybe being overconcerned about how his EOD vote looked.
I'm currently trying to work out if the latter sections of it are something I can ask about in thread today in a believable fashion.

But, ah, as I went to write the command I realised there's something I need to check first.

I just noticed my role PM doesn't actually say I have or can use a factional kill and none of you have actually posted enough of your PMs for me to compare.

We, uh, we're not in one of those games, right @Fanto
We do have a factional kill and I'm allowed to submit it right?

oh btw I think it's better if I do the kill? That way if they have something that can fuck us over I can avoid it with my BP and we'll also know if it was spent since the flip will tell us.

Yes, you all have a factional kill. Just pretend your PM says something like "You can also use the factional kill with the command Kill: Player Name" or whatever.
