Tony makes the night polls apparently. I have no reason to think that role is town or scum.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Day 3]
For the record nanook changed his vote without asking me (second time he does that) but he also voted where I was thinking of voting (again, second time that happens).

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Day 3]
These kinds of roles tend to be more like town imo. If you have to balance a team of three scum having one of them be zero utility is a major inbalance point, while for the town side it's a good way to keep the town team from being OP.speedchuck wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 4:17 pm Tony makes the night polls apparently. I have no reason to think that role is town or scum.
If there are 4 scum I'd expect the town to have much stronger roles, though, which hasn't been the case so far.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Day 3]
This is the first I've heard about me and Tony being in a Thunderdome. And about any arguments given against me. Tony was just one of several people I wanted to ISO.Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 4:17 pm The speed/Tony thunderdome has been interesting in that it gave good arguments both/again both sides.
I do think Tony looks shadier now after speed quoted his posts shading me for going after MR. While speed looks okay due to his second vote on MR. But I still have a good gut feeling about Tony and not much about speed...
And yeah Wolgy is a valid option. Low activity is not a great reason to lynch him but I feel not enough people are considering/voting for it which means scum could be avoiding him.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Day 3]
I don’t think roles are particularly AI but I also don’t think Tony’s makes much sense as a scum role tbh, you can’t use it for openly scummy things if you ever have to reveal.
I’d say small point in his favor.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Day 3]
Also I’m sorry DDL, you weren’t around much and I get trigger happy 
If you don’t like our vote we can figure out one we’re both happy with, my impression is you’re mostly on the same page as me though?

So... the role is town because it's not powerful enough to be scum... but there are only three scum because town is not powerful enough...
Seems kinda backward.
Also go back and read LC's power if you think town doesn't have strong roles.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Day 3]
A one shot IR that vigs a red check is nice but it’s not, like, AMAZING. It’s a useful role but it’s not especially or ridiculously strong.

Most of town has had weak stuff which suggests an effort from the hosts to keep a 4-1 proportion under control.
My line of logic is "town roles are mostly weak" -> "there are 3 scum" -> "Tony's role being scum nerfs them too much"

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Day 3]
So what is the chance that the hosts put the two scum together?
Or that they put the scum scum in the 3-man team?
I mean chances are it was random, but if I'm the host I might re-randomize a particularly pro-town or pro-scum setup.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Day 3]
If there are 4 scum I'd expect town to have a plethora of ways to use abilities to win. Cuz we kind of need it. A non-conditional vig, a cop, a doctor, maybe a tracker/watcher. None of that stuff is dropping. Just giving mafia a bad role doesn't save town from being overwhelmed, because town roles are the ones who make the biggest difference in a game, and mafia roles are more reactive.speedchuck wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 4:33 pm Just seems like maybe there are 4 scum then and they're nerfed even more?
Maybe I'm wrong. Number advantages are pretty enormous.
If there are 3 scum this looks fine. But if there are 3 scum roles, there is some pressure for them to have enough abilities to counteract the eventual town fluke. Now, MR's role covers a lot of uses (role cop, roleblocker, and one extra of something) so maybe this isn't that big of an issue, but all the power being on MR could be a little swingy. I'd expect the remaining mafia to have at least one of the following: a vote manipulator, some kind of extra kill and some godfather status.
Then again I make my games my way and I don't expect hosts to think exactly like I do.

Partly giving you time to establish yourself in your new slot, since giving you only one day insures that you're unknown. Lynching the same person 2 days in a row is never giving them a fair chance.

If there’s only one mafia in there and not both then I need to reconsider juliets and tony. I’m pretty much just accepting hyena as town, same with DDL (I honestly can’t remember why but I think I had a good reason, if I didn’t I’ll realize it later and correct accordingly, too tired to figure it out now). And jack, obviously. But we’ll cross the juliets/Tony bridge if/when we get there, basically not interested in them before the three I listed.
*a derp is enough to buy you a day, but it’s fairly easily faked if we’re being totally honest so it’s not enough to keep him out of POE after nutella flipped the wrong alignment.

Other things that he's done are things I agreed with or at least thought were true at the time they were said. There are some exceptions but I don't think they are worthy of mentioning at this time.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Day 3]
In addition to your regular vote, everyone has a secret vote for a second lynch. Knock the virus outta here. - Very swingy. Town lynches a second person with less info, but it's uncontrolled for mafia. Doubles town offensive power, reduces accuracy, requires coordination for scum not to just control it.
All players must post (at least slightly) within character. The show must go on! - completely useless and also doesn't really have a punishment lined up? Might inhibit town posting.
With one hour remaining, all players not in the top two in vote count are eliminated from lynch contention. Two enter, one will leave. - I have no idea whether this is townsided or not, but given the false dichotomy thing that is not valuable, I lean... maybe scum? Or null.
Tag Team Fighting: At the beginning of the day, all players are placed into BTSC randomly with one other person. Teams of two share a singular vote. - not sure how this works, but it might be hard for either side to use their votes at all.
Weapons Match: In the first 24 hours of the day, everyone must choose another player. That player's vote will be worth one more. - Mafia-sided, they can double their votes, town is uncoordinated.
Maybe I'm overstating things but I think all of these are either null or they are slightly scum-sided. Scum Tony could be getting town cred for claiming this role with nothing horrible in it (like insanifications for everyone) while also not helping town much.

Tony is town and is struggling to come up with ideas.
My point is that I award no points for this role. But I don't detract any either. Thoughts?
Thoughts on my Tony ISO anyone?
All players must post (at least slightly) within character. The show must go on! - completely useless and also doesn't really have a punishment lined up? Might inhibit town posting.
With one hour remaining, all players not in the top two in vote count are eliminated from lynch contention. Two enter, one will leave. - I have no idea whether this is townsided or not, but given the false dichotomy thing that is not valuable, I lean... maybe scum? Or null.
Tag Team Fighting: At the beginning of the day, all players are placed into BTSC randomly with one other person. Teams of two share a singular vote. - not sure how this works, but it might be hard for either side to use their votes at all.
Weapons Match: In the first 24 hours of the day, everyone must choose another player. That player's vote will be worth one more. - Mafia-sided, they can double their votes, town is uncoordinated.
Maybe I'm overstating things but I think all of these are either null or they are slightly scum-sided. Scum Tony could be getting town cred for claiming this role with nothing horrible in it (like insanifications for everyone) while also not helping town much.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Night 2]
Primarily him bargaining me over to radishes D1. It’s so much the opposite of his style when we played scum together last year, most players don’t change that drastically over the course of a year so I’m giving him a strong TR.M Plus 7 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 5:32 pmWait, why are you accepting Hyena as town?NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME wrote: ↑Sat Apr 25, 2020 8:34 am My POE is currently chuck/new MP/wilgy*
If there’s only one mafia in there and not both then I need to reconsider juliets and tony. I’m pretty much just accepting hyena as town, same with DDL (I honestly can’t remember why but I think I had a good reason, if I didn’t I’ll realize it later and correct accordingly, too tired to figure it out now). And jack, obviously. But we’ll cross the juliets/Tony bridge if/when we get there, basically not interested in them before the three I listed.
*a derp is enough to buy you a day, but it’s fairly easily faked if we’re being totally honest so it’s not enough to keep him out of POE after nutella flipped the wrong alignment.

On a slightly different subject [mention]TonyStarkPrime[/mention] did you vote me without calling it in the thread? I went and looked at your ISO but didn't see where you voted. To everyone, it's very hard to put together vote order retrospectively if you don't call your vote in some way in the thread.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Day 3]
I think it's because people have trouble sorting you as a result. Like I personally feel like your tone, actions, etc. are pretty similar in my mind, so I can't just take your behavior being stereotypically town for granted.juliets wrote: ↑Sat Apr 25, 2020 9:07 pmYou know what is so ironic? That my behavior can be called "stereotypically town" and that it gets me suspected early in every single game. I have tried playing a little differently but then people say things like "Juliets is not asking enough questions, she must be scum". I guess what it's going to take is a style change that gets me lynched in a few games. Also maybe I will be less burned out after a game. I like Nanook's style, I think I'll try it my next game!TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Sat Apr 25, 2020 8:52 pm Juliets I was hoping you’d bring up the disingenuous thing in the moment because I had a post prepped. I’ll answer quickly to that idea: a lot of us have developed a meta, purposely or accidentally, by which we look scummy in all of our games. If LC or me or Jack or whoever start giving off insane townie vibes after day 1 it’s either a fluke or a bad sign. And for players like Sloonei or Jay or dizzy or maybe MP, you can generally sort them by activity — they prove themselves as town. You operate differently — to me it seems you always act as a sort of stereotypical town. To someone like me, who acts less town as town, someone playing a stereotypically town role always seems disingenuous.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Day 3]
POE doesn't necessarily mean you're scummy, it may mean that someone has no compelling reason to remove you from the POE (i.e., call you town).juliets wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 8:16 am For those of you who say I'm in your POE, can you give me some bullet points on what you're seeing that you think is scummy? I haven't seen a case on me since all that stuff nutella was saying which was flat wrong.
And I'll ask a Sloonei/JJJ question: Why am I town?

Analysis of Juliets, Tony and Wilgy is most helpful.
I’d be loathe to lynch outside that POE plus you today.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Day 3]
My buddies are Hyena and speed, and I'm not really sure yet. I think I can trust at least one of them, especially because I'm not sure how much a Hyena/speed team makes sense off the top of my head, although I'd have to explore it specifically.
Actually once I get caught up I'll post a GTH reads list, then I'll do some ISOs and re-evaluate.

Re: Coronavirus Mafia [Day 3]
That is potentially concerning, I'll have to take a look.Hyena wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 12:36 pmTony placed a vote on me and joined Nutella on my wagon D1, but he never really talked about why. I thought it was very opportunistic at the time, and the only reason I didn't pursue it more was because Radish got shot sometime after and I got tied up with casing MP7 instead. What do you think about that Nanook? What do you think about him townreading me now and there being no progression in between?
