Disagree that this makes SVS more likely good than bad. A mafia role is supposed to punish civilians.Epignosis wrote: ↑Thu Mar 15, 2018 1:48 amThe thing is I'm now stuck between voting for nutella and Dom.![]()
I could add S~V~S to this.
If her role was a civilian role, as she claims, then her ideal use of it would be baiting mafia to vote for her. That isn't the perspective she took. She was relieved that nobody voted for her:
On the other hand:
S~V~S had a real role from CC123. For that reason, it might make sense that she believed DDL to have the Mr. Freeze role, which lends credibility to her perspective (which, to be frank, I found out of whack, since we obviously don't all have roles from CC123 even though we have numbers).# 58
Alias: The Asymptomatic Carrier
Source: The Asian Flu Pandemic came to an end in 1958, after claiming over two million lives worldwide
Member Of: Evil Evens
Power Type: Passive Ability
Role Description: You are infected with a deadly strain of influenza but aren’t hurt by it. Every person you vote for will become infected. You will also infect every player who targets you with a day or night power. Anyone you infect will, in turn, infect anyone they vote for and any player using a night or day power on them. Once 2/3 of all players have become infected, one player will die each day. Two day phases after #58 dies, the virus will stop spreading but infected players will still be at risk of dying until the infection rate drops below 50%.
I am inclined to find S~V~S's posts more genuine than I suspect her previous role.
And speaking of her role: A ten percent chance, despite how distraught S~V~S says she was about taking any votes, is not that great. I can believe the role is a civilian role. If it is a civilian role, it's only function is to potentially punish people for voting a civilian. If it is a mafia role, then it punishes civilians for doing what they are supposed to do: Vote out mafia.
Nah.
I'm going to keep S~V~S in the good pile for now.

Day 5 has ended. Long Con has been lynched. He was:
96: Michaelangelo, forger (Phenon). You may choose one player, and have them appear as any affiliation that you wish upon death. You may change the identity of that player at any time other than during the last hour of a phase. You are MAFIA and a member of the EVIL EVENS.
It is now night 5. It will last for 24 hours, meaning you have 22 hours to get your PMs in[/center]

You are 59: The Moon (Elemental). Each night, you will PM one element to the hosts (Light, Darkness, Gas or Dust) and one player to be targeted for any effect the element may have. If the Sun is in the game, they will also choose one element out of Light, Darkness, Gas or Dust. When you and the Sun are both in the game, your element choices will combine to form one effect. Each combined effect may only be triggered once. The Sun's target will get the benefit of any positive effect, while your target will suffer any negative effect. You may not choose the same element or the same target on consecutive days. You will not be informed of the effects of your elements.

Your reasons on him.
Do you believe a mafia team had, at one point, a role that could dish out -2s to teammates while sitting at -2 himself AND a role that could have a vote worth either +4 or -4?speedchuck wrote: ↑Thu Mar 15, 2018 10:33 am But if DDL isn't bad with LC, I don't have good reason to suspect him.
Depends on what town has. But I have to agree. The role was the biggest reason I thought LC was town originally. That's a freaking powerful mafia role.Epignosis wrote: ↑Thu Mar 15, 2018 11:02 amDo you believe a mafia team had, at one point, a role that could dish out -2s to teammates while sitting at -2 himself AND a role that could have a vote worth either +4 or -4?speedchuck wrote: ↑Thu Mar 15, 2018 10:33 am But if DDL isn't bad with LC, I don't have good reason to suspect him.
Epignosis wrote: ↑Thu Mar 15, 2018 9:43 am
For DDL to be bad, you would have to believe one or more of the following things:
1. DDL and LC are teammates and that the one mafia had two powerful vote manipulators (thereby great crippling the civilian's most powerful tool- the lynch poll).
2. There is no Obnoxious Odds mafia team.
3. A mafia member's second role number does not have to correspond with the numerical descriptor of the team name.
4. DDL's role number is not actually 32.
I don't know why people felt compelled to vote for him. I did it for a lark, but moved just in case there was something else in play. People voting him knowing that he was going to take the lynch just felt like some needless self-fulfilling prophecy.speedchuck wrote: ↑Thu Mar 15, 2018 1:37 pm 5.5 hours to go.
Cbob has been coasting all game on his invincibility. His role does nothing but punish people for lynching him, in a way that is completely outside his control and cannot be aimed at scum. If he gets lynched and the role does target someone, it serves no purpose but to waste time that could be spent hunting. A distraction.
I know that first-roles are supposed to be ambiguous in alignment. But it's the way that cbob used his role that I do not like. And I want to look at him while we have time.

I won't complain if DDL gets lynched today, but it's not going to give us anything tangible, and Epi made good points about the balance.
More voters would be nice. Preferably on Cbob, unless someone has good reason to throw out my POE.

I think Epi assumes way too much in his points. I think your POE list has some good points but makes some assumptions I don't jive with as well.

The way that I used my role? What exactly could I do besides hinting several times not to vote for me? I can't info dump, so I treated my role basically as letting me live until day 6 and then I'd go from there. But then people lazy-voted for me instead of actually hunting, and now I'm mafia?
