I am confuse

I have no idea what NAA's play this game was and I have also been confused the whole time.

@NotAnAxehole

It wasn't a gambit, CCing in a Jester game didn't make much sense to me, Scotty was my top Jester read. If I appear to be the only one to not say anything / not believe Scotty's claim, I might as well out with a hard claim. I wanted to force mafia to shoot Nanook by saying I PR read him - he would be protected and would have lost as it turns out, but town decided to CFD him instead?

I see.

I guess the cop thing was trying to control mafia's kill too?

This has been bothering me the whole game.

The mafia does NOT get to use the jester as shield in case of a red result.

All town has to do is demand the mafia to kill the red result next night. If they are still alive next day, it means either that was the goon, or mafia is gamethrowing. Mafia has to kill the result if they are the jester, because if town fulfills their promise and yeets the jester, the mafia loses too.

So the cop is actually pretty damn effective against jesters, unless they make the reveal in LyLo.

straight up that literally never occurred to me wtf. ok that's great.

First time I played this, the guy who created the setup was one of the players.

He really liked to school people on mech play. So he explained this right at the start.

Oh btw.

Oh and this is why DDL dislikes CFDs.

This tbh. Amazing game by Scotty.

I guess NAA just thought Scotty was the jester, which is kinda what Scotty himself was going for.

There's also the whole claiming to be cop with a blue result on naook yesterday too.

[shrugs]

Like he knew Scotty was lying but validated his claim anyway.

Uh... weird gambit to dodge the next mafia kill?

But then, it turned out just the head was hanging. And it was actually a mask, with the man himself slipping out of it, as some kind of magic trick. And as soon as they looked to him, they saw the worst visage ever. A clown.

He ran away, laughing, telling dumb jokes, and pressing his own nose to make funny noises.

They would soon find out the weapons in his house were fake ones who shot confetti, the letters were all fake too and the suits had been rented the previous night. After that, the real gofather said "screw it, this town is dumb" and left. The villagers, demoralized, went back home to watch TV. The town would never recover their pride again after that ridiculous day.

Also yesterday I forgot to announce that, but we are still in a Racket, so there is a post cap. For today, it is 80 posts.



So your total limit is the number you are seeing in this image, plus 80.

The story starts like it usually does. A mafia is terrorizing the small town, and the villagers decide to do something about it and start executing suspects at the town square.

Except this time, there was something different going on: clowns.

A circus arrived at the city. Well, people like circuses. Except this one was just clowns. And people hate clowns. They made bad jokes and weird noses so both town and mafia decided to make a truce and slaughter them.

After a few days, the clown menace was exterminated. Or so they thought. Turns out one clown had managed to escape, disguising himself among the townspeople. And so, as the usual town vs mafia battle continued, a new condition had emerged to the battle: they had to keep the clown away from the executions, or the whole fight risked being demoralized forever.

The game has begun! it is now Day 0.

Day 1 will start 24 hours after this post.

You are allowed to make up to 60 posts during Day 0.

RULES

- This game is dividided in day phases and night phases. Day phases are when you post and make votes. The poll will lock exactly 48 hours after it is posted, and afterwards I will come here as early as possible to make the end of day post.

- Night phases are when you are allowed to send actions, if you have any. Actions will be accepted 23 hours after the end of day write-up is posted. The final hour will be used by me to process actions, and to correct previous delays in day/night starts. Night posting will not be allowed, as the thread will be locked during the night.

- You are limited to 60 posts per day phase. That limit will permanently go up by 5 for every player who dies (I will announce the current limit at the start of each day). Day 0 is also limited to 60 posts. Going over the limit will get you modkilled.

- Voting is done through the poll. I do not require players to announce their votes in the thread or use fancy tags, though it is usually considered common etiquette to do so. Self-voting and changing votes are allowed.

- The poll has a "No Kill" option. If it wins, the day will end without a kill. However, that may only happen once in the game. Once a kill is cancelled, the option will not appear again in following days. You are allowed to vote the "No Kill" option as many times as you want as long as it's available.

- The "Unvote" option has no mechanical effect and is the same as not voting.

- In case of ties, the day kill result will be resolved at random. The "No Kill" option will never win any ties. Special case: If there are exactly 4 players in the game, there is a tie for first place, and none of the players in that tie are the Jester, the Jester's vote will count as 0.

- You must post at least twice per day phase. Failure to do so will be considered inactivity. Players who are inactive may be modkilled or replaced at my discretion. If you know you will be away fror a limited amount of time, let me know so I can give you some leeway before replacing/modkilling you.

- Double targetting is allowed.

- Role revealing and all forms of info dumping are allowed.

- Do not engage in angle-shooting, which means using information from outside of the game to obtain advantage in it. That includes, but is not limited to, making bets or oaths in real life, asking people the time they received PMs from the host, or posting screenshots to prove anything. I may modkill players who break this rule if it affects the outcome of the game substantially. or give buffs to the faction that was affected to make up for it. If you are not sure if something is allowed, ask me first.

- This is what the town role card looks like:

You are a vanilla townie.

You win the game when you eliminate the mafia.

- All players who die in the day or in the night will have their alignment and role revealed.

- Town and Mafia will win with their teams, whether they are alive or dead.

- Talking with people about the game in any places other than this thread, or BTSC channels authorized by me, are not allowed.

- Dead players must post in red. Non-players must post in blue. Off-topic posts should be in green. I will use this color, please do not use it.

- Your Game Facilitators are Hally and fingersplints. If you have any issues with other players or with me and you need to vent out, feel free to talk to them. For gameplay related questions, feel free to ask me and I'll help how I can.

Remember that the premier rules in any Syndicate Mafia game come straight from the site rules. Review those rules below, and direct any concerns you may have to the host or moderator(s) on duty.
