That's why they win as long as they're alive with the leading faction and there are no conditions to kill them.
This is from my experience, I haven't played a game with a rogue on this forum yet. Maybe Sloonei or JJJ could tell me if it's different than what I am accustomed to.
Huh. I didn't notice that.dunya wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 1:52 pmYes, ignore my previous line of thinking. Small mountains have to eliminate big mountains and Mars to win, so it should be safe to assume Mars is more town-aligned, but I wonder if there's no threat at all then what's the point of being self-aligned, y'know.speedchuck wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 1:47 pmDepends on if the rogue is anti-town or not.dunya wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 1:37 pm The rogue rarely has to be dead for town to win.

In Phenon mafia, I was an arsonist (basically a delayed multi-kill serial killer.) I was the last to die of the non-town peeps. The townies won when all threats to town were eliminated.
Since the OP says that the big mountains must eliminate the small mountains to win, I infer that they do not HAVE to kill mars mountain. Our rogue/3p is probably a survival role, a non-lethal marker, or has some other wacky win condition.

JJJ is never scum.
No, but really, I don't know what he'd be like as scum. If he's leading, and leading well, mafia will probably kill him and take care of things for us. If they start killing other leaders and JJJ takes control of the game, wipe him.
My point of the rolled eyes is that this is not a literal game plan for town to follow. Mafia is an unpredictable game that messes up all townie planning attempts. Besides, if I had an idea for an important plan that town needed to follow, I'd highlight it and throw it out front instead of hiding it in a readlist.Epignosis wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 3:59 pmI don't understand the proliferation of rolled eyes. Your comment is nothing more than a universal notion that JJJ must always be Night killed or lynched late in the game, which is a clever reason to keep him alive when you are bad.speedchuck wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 2:24 pmEpignosis wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 2:05 pmThis is gross.

What is your read on JJJ?
I hold mild suspicion of him, as I always do.
Yeah I hope that this isn't the case, honestly. Mafia teams should be able to plan and execute even if one of their members is gone for 24 hours or more.nutella wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 4:29 pm linki Epi that is good thinking.... though it would be unusual for the scum kill to be dependent on a single role to send in the pm. usually other team members are allowed to send team actions (I think I have seen it the former way before, but not for a looooong time)

It's what I get for not looking back (These reads were all basically elaborating on what I already thought, except for where I mentioned that I went back and looked). Point stands.

I'll be honest. I liked Sloonei's case. I never got good vibes from bob, and sloonei's case (right around the time I decided sloon was town) really cinched the read. Like with Kyle, I'd rather read through before the lynch.
I don't think the mafia team failed to kill. I think protections happened. I think this is barking up the wrong tree. I don't like speculating based on replacements, as we're basically basing our reads on how well Marmot is handling his game. I know it's hard to ignore, but I would assume that Marmot has handled the game in a way that didn't completely screw over the mafia team, since anything else is unfalsifiable, unconfirmable, and slightly disrespectful.Elohcin wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 6:07 pmAnd dunya said that she thinks there is more of a team kill rather than a specific role that can send in the kill because if it were a specific role then marmot would have replaced her there.
So if only the killer mafia role is allowed to send in a kill, then I think it has to velong toneither INH or dunya. Most likely INH since he replaced in first. @Marmot can the team send in the kill as a group pm? (Hey... doesn't hurt to ask, right?)

I prefer when open role-madness setups have MECHANICS to handle players claiming fast and loose. An example being the hunt games I've played on a different site. In those games, the scum could forgo their nightkill to CHAINKILL townies until they stopped guessing claims correctly.
"I chainkill Jack as Everest
I chainkill Sloonei as K2
etc."
The kills would run through in order and if and when the first wrong one came along, the game would reveal that "Sloonei had mafia try to chainkill him as K2, but it failed." That townfirm plus having to turn in their normal kill keeps scum from taking chances. It's a marvelous system, and leads to REALLY EXCITING phases, and a lot less rolespec. I can link an example for you guys later.
Rant over. Best mechanic ever. As @sprityo will attest.

There are a few reasons someone could say he was almost lynched in Jack's position. Jack did so in the moment. For him to elaborate would, as he put it, be role related. But I have no such spec since I don't know his role.
It was Eloh at the timeEpignosis wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 9:19 pmAssuming that's Mesk you are talking about, I will believe Mesk is civilian before I believe 50% of the rest of the crowd is, including you.Quin wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 8:07 pmI've had success reading her in the past.

@Quin That's an interesting vote on a player I have trouble reading most of the time. Can I get a summary of why?
I don't think she's following through on her cases in the way a civilian would. She'll say that something is suspicious and that'll be the end of it, like she's rejecting any attempt to change her mind. She's done that with me and LC in this game.
I don't believe in her rainbow list because I don't see how Lasagne could be one of anybody's top town reads. She mentioned genuinity in her posts, with Lasagne only having one, maybe two posts of workable content. The rest is, as I said before, mainly "I'm here!" posts.

Swapping to a good read (but a questionable one) puts him in a position to be convinced I'm bad while also not leading the lynch on me.

He did move quickly from a bottom-tier mafia read to a GTH good read in quick succession. One question emerges here for colonialbob:Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 28, 2017 9:55 pm Well I liked this game.
Idk if it made me do better reads but it forced me to make a firm decision on several players. Felt the need to elaborate on Bob (poe/gut/no obvious pairing) and Eloh (feels real in spite of everything) in the moment but choose not to.
In a world where Jack is mafia and you are a civilian, what is the mafia benefit Jack enjoys by reversing his perspective of you in the wake of the negative press you received in the night phase? In this scenario you ought to look like a juicy mislynch steak.
Also helps if he and speed are w/w, let one keep pushing on me while one holds back.
Eh. Fair enough. I just read "push" as in putting on pressure, and I really haven't done much about your read. I'll definitely ISO you before I cast a vote in a real lynch train on you.colonialbob wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2017 12:23 am I think you've consistently read me as bad while he's gone back and forth. Assuming you're teammates trying to get me lynched, having one who can push on me and one who can be 'convinced' isn't a bad idea if the day lends itself to that direction. Turns out today hasn't really.
I don't know, I think Eloh has enough content that we shouldn't have to rely on a meta read.
I agree with this. All of it.

If you're telling me after 2600 posts itt you didn't have any better leads than Dom, then you're scum.

We have one townie flip (and it was an important role) to an inactive player who we can't read much into. It's not rocket science

That seems fairly scummy to me. Especially with the meta-logic of "well, they were replaced so they must be mafia" which is, frankly, crap logic.
I'm town, Mesk flipped town, so the logic that you COULD be scum isn't fool proof, but it isn't coming straight out of my ass either, I reckon. Read on, show us what you got. I've been in your shoes and it wasn't a fun process--especially when the person I replaced was a lynch-candidate the day before I replaced.
There aren't any. Once the train started, you weren't here. You never really argued strongly for the lynch in the first place. When JJJ (I think it was) voted for Mesk and you mistook it for just her name, you were curious. When you found out it was a vote, you were like "never mind"
