Fernando T. wrote:Jesus christ gurkinn, thats what you have to offer?
@Towa i lynched you cos you hopped on my rl bandwagon, but unlynched when you explained it was just to increase pressure a little bit
I saw someone say I was hopping on Bandwagons. I was the second one to lynch towa, and had a very good reason for doing so. thats the closest ive been to bwing. I haven't put much to the game yet, but that's cos is because it is day 1 and the only thing discussed so far is about JK claiming, which i briefly made my point about, and then there was Towa, and now me.
I mean, it's not like we are gonna get anything 100% useful at night/from D1 lynch. A mafia kill, which isn't even guaranteed... and the flip of whoever is lynched d1, which isn't 100% solid evidence to guarantee us a mafia lynch/ confirmed townie from there. So there really is NO point in not contributing more D1... Unless you want to avoid attention.
Another thing I don't get Fernando, is why Towa automatically became scummy to you when she joined your "bandwagon" (which i wouldn't even qualify as a bandwagon, as I consider a bandwagon to be more than 2 people on the lynch in succession, and it was only you two on Gurkinn), considering there was no threat for a quick hammer. A fairly logical conclusion, when you are rl'ing, that early in the day is that she was also trying to add pressure, not get a lynch off.
Fernando, what you are saying does not seem to be adding up. Does what he is saying make sense contextually to anyone else?
However, Fernando, I will agree with what you said about Gurkinn rn. What the fuck was that man? Seriously there has been a ton of updates lately and you produce a one liner about how you like what we are doing and nothing else? CONTRIBUTE. Say your thoughts on what's going on and don't passively agree with what is being said. State why you agree. Offer your opinions on a lynch. Do something productive. SMH

See anything interesting about the four quiet people in question? I do. Charmaine and Haruno have been online since the last time they posted and havent contributed... when there has been significant contributions.
Esp. when you compare the time Towa posted her long defense (Yesterday at 11:13 pm) to the time she was last online almost 2 hours later.
Haruno still has yet to discuss any of the topics we have talked about, and has only posted one liners. Seriously?
Oh and I realized i forgot to switcch the lynch earlier.

Since Natasha seems to think I am stupid (point a), let me explain it a bit better. I know what a JK does. I'm not suggesting they both claim and try to protect each other.
What I am suggesting with this "vt claim" thing is this: We pick a target to start a lynch, hence the attempt on Professor Icarus/Gurkinn N. Then, we ask them if they are a VT. Here's what it does: If they are not a VT, and are in fact a town power role, then they can claim. I'm not asking for the outright claim of both of our power roles, as that just leads to suicide, but, if we're attempting to lynch either of our power roles, then it's better for them to claim and not waste our time continuing to put lynches/pressure on a target only for the PR claim a few votes short of hammer and then everyone unlynching and us having to restart a day before DL. At best, we would have only VT claims as we start hunting targets, although there is an advantage to getting one of our PR claims out. Instead of getting all the specific quotes about it, I will just put everything right here. I would like EITHER the JK OR the doc picked out by this method. I agree that them claiming right away without reason is not the best idea, but if we're about to lynch on of them, then we need to know it. Getting one of them to claim gives us a clear D1, or mafia can be stupid and try to claim a town PR on D1, and by asking them to specify which one, we have the ability to get a CC out and lynch between the two. We can also get a town leader that we know we can trust, not follow blindly if they have bad ideas, but that we can trust. If it is the JK that claims, then the doc can be on them right away. If it is the doc that claims, then the JK can be on them to protect them. This is what I meant by the doc can be on JK and the JK can be on doc. We have a 1/13 chance of attempting to lynch the doc, and a 2/13 chance to hit either of our power roles.Delilah H. wrote:Towa wanted VT claims for us to lynch btw... To me I feel it is mafia trying to rule out the jk/doctor subtly. Does anyone else feel this?
If the person we ask to claim VT does claim VT, then we can lynch them. Mafia will claim VT or risk being lynched within 1-2 days, depending on if we hit them or their CC. Since our lynchee will be revealed after being lynched anyway, then why does it matter if I ask them to claim VT when lynching them? It will give scum the same 2/12 chance of hitting a PR at night from the lynch reveal as the early claim would.
Next, for your point b, Natasha, and for this quote:Brodie S. wrote:1) Bandwagoning on a randomlynch is the most overtly nihilistic thing you could be doing at the moment. Congratulations(!), day one has barely begun, and I don't feel like I can trust you to pull your weight mid/late game now. Consider this a challenge to change my mind.
Let's explain the random lynch. As a few users have pointed out, a random lynch is not a bad start. It places pressure and can to discussion based on reactions to pressure. It's not as bad as you make it sound, Brodie, although thank your sarcastic response. A simple explanation would have been fine, instead of being a dick, dick. I don't care if you don't trust me to "pull my weight", this is how I play and if you don't like it, lynch me or get over it. I'm not going to change myself to fit your playstlye or gain your approval.- Brodie S:
- Brodie S. wrote:CONS: 1) When doctor dies, JK dies the night after. Though, in my opinion, better to have loved and lost... 2) JK might hit the doctor, also on the same night Mafia for some reason targets JK, which is incredibly unlikely, but worth mentioning. 3) We're down one protection every night from a possible two, so the possibility of a save is about sort of not really halved. But a successful save only gives us a NL day, and two saves are required for a ML...
Picking through your post, I feel this is worth mentioning. Each numbered response will correspond with the numbers of your own con list, fyi.
1- This is not necessarily true, although likely. With a dead doc, mafia will try to kill JK next, yes, but what happens if JK blocks someone and lives? It gives us a huge scumlead on whoever the JK happened to block that night. Not the best odds, but a possibility.
2- The JK hitting doc shouldn't be too big of a deal. I doubt scum will try to hit the JK, as wasting 2 kills will give us an extra misslynch. Maybe they will see it as worth it to try once, but the chances of this mattering if it accidentally happens is slim.
3- Since you have since changed your stance on JK claiming D1, this isn't too much of a concern. I still support a PR claim if we start a lynch on one of them, but otherwise keeping both protections on likely mafia targets will be better for us in preventing the two deaths we need to win an extra misslynch.- Fernando T:

I feel that JK shouldn't claim. It wastes the possibilty of doc saving a night kill, unless doc goes ultra wifom. Also if doc gets hit, then we are into vanilla.
Time to start on you. First, tell me, what does on extra lynch matter for you to immediately switch to me once I start racking up the lynches? You used a random lynch and I put my own on your target to increase pressure. My lynch does not hammer, not even close, and yet you feel it was so game-changing to warrant a switch to me? I'd like your reasoning on this, please. And as for your last quote, if you think we're in the "long post phase", then maybe try making your own instead of pointlessly agreeing with people and not adding new information.

I'd love the ability to edit but I really can't rn. If that's your rationale for lynching people rn, this game is gonna be terrible in the long run.Also if we are running on that standard than we should start with youTowa Q. wrote:Doc can be on JK and JK can be on doc if need be. If you're not a VT though, then I don't want to waste a lynch on a town power role. If we're lynching a potential doc or JK, then yes, there is a point to claiming.
Actually... reading along further, I am starting to find you pretty scummy. For example, you brought up this major wifom. Do you see the problems in your statement there? Here I'll point them out for you.
1. "JK can be on doc": then the doc protect goes to waste, because the Jailkeeper will prevent the doc from protecting. Basic Jailkeeper 101- whoever he targets is blocked and protected. Which means one or the other is protected, not both.
2. Another big problem is the assumption that the mafia wont go around this and try to hit VT's (THERE is a LOT of wifom in your scenario) in order to avoid it.
3. The third assumption that is being made, which is even more wifom, is that the jk and doc know which one of them mafia will be hitting that night. one mistake and both go down.
4. Another problem I have here is the possibility of a mafia ccing the JK or doc, as is likely to happen in the events of or prior to the actual claim because it makes it harder for the kill to be secured properly which factors into the biggest problem i have
5. It requires BOTH the JK and the Doc to know who each other are. which means less chance of mafia messing up a kill
To your strike, yes, we could start with me, but from my perspective that would be a waste since I know I am town. Nothing to really argue there, it's up to the rest of you lynching me to decide. To your numbers, here are my own:
1- I again know how a JK works. I doubt AJ would put in a player who didn't know that.
2- With one claim out only, mafia will have to sift through VTs to find the other PR before they can kill the first, just as we have to sift through to find mafia in the VT claims.
5- This only requires one claim, which I would like to avoid, in order to keep a PR alive. The other can continue to not claim and just protect the claimed role. I feel your points 2-5 are all based on the fact that you think I want doc and JK to claim and try to protect each other, which I do not.
5- Another thing to say to this, though. With a clear PR, mafia will likely think that the other will be on th claimed PR in order to save them and not waste the kill allowing for both PRs to protect possible VTs and stop the maf kill.
You are absolutely right, all of this is huge wifom. Sorry, it's just the way I play. Wifom on top of wifom, and it's up to the players with the power to protect to decide what is best for the night. Not gonna change up my strat to suit your playstyle, but expect me to use wifom. I use it for my reads and it helps to get inside maf heads and try to screw them over.- Nanette B:
- Nanette B. wrote:Mimi F. wrote:The amount of lynches on Towa already surprises me. Yes, she made a couple of logical errors in her reasoning on VT claims, but there really hasn't been anything said that warrants a hammered lynch this early in the day.
On the topic of JK claiming, it seems like are just too many variables that can go wrong. Brodie mentioned the game of wifom going on between the town PRs and the mafia and chalked it up as a positive, but that's only if the town wins the battle of wits. Also, without doctor claimed, the mafia could kill the doc, or the JK could target the doc and get targeted him/herself (unlikely), or the doctor could protect someone other than the JK and maf could kill JK (unlikely), or if the doctor DOES claim, he/she has to be jailed every night to be protected, which renders him/her useless.
To summarize: Towa shouldn't be lynched this early in the day, JK claim is a shaky if not bad idea, and claiming doc is not even a possibility.
Reading this, I think JK should claim later down the road, but only if he has found something or it's important. I do not think him claiming day one is a good idea though. Mafia have a relatively low chance of hitting him first anyway so I think it's fine to hide out. Also, the room played a game of this, to y'know, have some practice, and the doc was lynched day one and the JK was hypoed. However, as we all know, hypoing doesn't always work out very well, especially in the anon games. (Jungle republic) Scum ended up winning this game, so lets try to avoid this route as much as possible.
I continue to agree that JK/doc should hold off on claiming unless lynches come their way. I would like to say, though, that I would like them to be claimed a day before mylo/lylo. The timing of the claim is important, holding off a JK claim until we hit mylo is just asking for a mafia CC, in which case, we risk a 50/50 of either hitting the mafia or hitting a PR and losing on mylo. This risk is fine if it's before mylo/lylo, but not on the day of. I would like this to be kept in mind by everyone if/when we get to that point.Fernando T. wrote:Would like to see more activity from Gurkinn Haruno Chermaine and Ramona

I agree with the names you listed, but again, I would like to see more from you as well, verses these filler-esque posts that you keep making.Delilah H. wrote:Towa, I see you are online, I'm eagerly awaiting to read your defense, as well as your reads/thoughts on who would be a better lynch.
Current reads:
Brodie S- Neutral- My distaste for his sarcasm interferes with my read on him, so I'm not going to say he's scummy for it. He's had useful pro-town posts, but I will hold off on him for now.
Fernando T- Scum read- filler af and providing nothing of use.
Nanette B- Town read- Need to go over her posts more thoroughly but running out of time for now.
Delilah H- Town read.
Professor Icarus- Neutral- Slight town read.
Mimi F- Town read- Slightly.
Annie F- Neutral.
Natasha L- Scum read- Only slightly and more so as a gut read. Need to reread posts, but again, time.
Ramona G- Town read- Slightly.
My reads were a little rushed and I will provide better ones tomorrow (irl) but I have little time now. The ones not mentioned don't have enough posts for me to accurately judge them. Also, Delilah, in response to who a better lynch would be, I would personally argue Fernando, Gurkinn, Haruno, Charmaine, or Ramona. Less so Charmaine, but the others are next to useless without any activity/anything productive to add. I hope to see them change that.
Last thing, if my thoughts are a little scattered, sorry, I'm tired and I tried to fit everything into one post. If there are things you would like me to address, let me know and I will try tomorrow when I update my reads.
Damn Towa, I'm impressed by your post tbh. I agree that JK/doc should hold off on claiming until a day or 2 depending on our situation b4 MYLO, in order to prevent Mafia CC. I would assume, however, that JK/Doc would know to claim before they are lynched. Like 2 irl days when they are at risk of le deadline.

It's day 1. There really isn't much we can do. Thanks for clarifying why you rl'd that person tho. That's what I was looking for
unlunch Towa Q.
OK really... the fuck kind of defense is this? "It's D1" "What she said." "I was on him before you." Seriously? I get that it's D1 and random lynching can be beneficial but still, you could at least state it for yourself. Tbh idek if the problem in your post's formatting was truly accidental or not considering the fact that Towa was literally JUST saying that you haven't produced much more than a few one-liners which is the same thing I said about Haruno.
Speaking of which Haruno, Fernando and everyone else who hasnt contributed to our discussion (Charmaine was one name that I recall being mentioned. Gurkinn and Ramona too(has Ramona or Gurkinn posted at all since the start of this game?)
YOU ALL BETTER START CONTRIBUTING SOON [on a side note... cool you can change the size and color of the font as well as the font itself] AJ check if any of them need subs)
Back to Fernando, the reason why that is important to note is that without the formatting errors the parts that you said are literally 3 lines while with it, your post looks a lot longer. Granted you did mention that it was a mistake after the fact, but I don't know if it was mafia trying to cover up his mistake if someone notices. I doubt you were really counting on anyone actually taking the liberty of separating what you said and what Towa said... but I digress.

OK, this is explained much better. I still do not feel as though you explained it well the first time, and I do not understand why you have a scumread on me (you never explained it). All you said was "scum read - I need to re-look over her posts." That being said, I was looking for information and contributions from you, and you delivered.
Unlynch Towa Q.
I do, however, agree that Fernando T. is the scummiest person in the game right now (with you being dismissed). He's been fillering, jumping on every bandwagon, and all of his "contributing" has actually been explaining why he bandwagonned on the rl early day 1.
lynch Fernando T.
Natasha her explanation for the lynch on you was a gut read, but she had to look more in detail on you to confirm it within herself before she makes the final decision on whether or not you are scum. I agree that Towa did not explain it well enough the first time around, which is why she reached a 4 lynches.
Following up, Fernando is really interesting... in order to either produce more information from him or get a lynch out, I shall join the pressure on Fernando... although i have to wonder why Towa hasnt gotten on him yet. Is she trying to avoid people yelling OMGUS at her. Or maybe she feels that lynching Gurkinn will be more productive, as he hasnt said a word.

Brodie, the thing that went wrongIcarus, I don't think anyone was suggesting that we hypo. I believe Nanette was just explaining what had happened with the hypo in the server game as well as the hypo in Jungle Republic as kind of a means to discourage people trying to hypo in the future, (ie: listing examples of it failing)... which I am not sure was really going to be a problem, as no one brought it up or claimed JK yet. The issues that have been stated with multiple claims was if a mafia cc'ed the JK. Not to say that I dont see her rationale behind stating this, as people on the server decided to hypo when they felt like they were out of options.
Also, apparently today is my Furfrou's birthday! Happy birthday Queenie! Yes mommy loves you! -gets face licked by Queenie the Furfrou-

I believe Brodie is town, despite the post further down that I believe I quoted, where Mimi(?) said that he may be trying to seem townie with a longer, wordier post of simple ideas. I simply don't believe this is what Brodie did.
At this moment I dont believe he's doing that either, but it is something for us to keep in mind, just as I mentioned I think in a recent post to Brodie. It does make it roundabout and goes a little too in detail kinda like a red herring.
- Spoiler:
On the topic of JK claiming, it seems like are just too many variables that can go wrong. Brodie mentioned the game of wifom going on between the town PRs and the mafia and chalked it up as a positive, but that's only if the town wins the battle of wits. Also, without doctor claimed, the mafia could kill the doc, or the JK could target the doc and get targeted him/herself (unlikely), or the doctor could protect someone other than the JK and maf could kill JK (unlikely), or if the doctor DOES claim, he/she has to be jailed every night to be protected, which renders him/her useless.
To summarize: Towa shouldn't be lynched this early in the day, JK claim is a shaky if not bad idea, and claiming doc is not even a possibility.
Reading this, I think JK should claim later down the road, but only if he has found something or it's important. I do not think him claiming day one is a good idea though. Mafia have a relatively low chance of hitting him first anyway so I think it's fine to hide out. Also, the room played a game of this, to y'know, have some practice, and the doc was lynched day one and the JK was hypoed. However, as we all know, hypoing doesn't always work out very well, especially in the anon games. (Jungle republic) Scum ended up winning this game, so lets try to avoid this route as much as possible.
Well Jungle Republic was kinda hard for town to win in the first place. Mafia were basically town with a seperate private chat. WW could only be inspected by one person, who had a very tough WIFOM to pull going into day if he got a scum inspect. Plus iirc one game lynched their seer D1 which kinda ruined the point of the hypo. Also dependant on the time frame too. if we are nearing MYLO/LYLO but are not quite at it, it might be a decent time to claim.

What do you believe, and why do you believe it?
For a VT claim to have meaning, it must mean something. Literally everybody claims VT in this setup, except maybe JK or stupid early fake-claiming mafia.
If you're going to run a test, it has to differentiate between two different possible outcomes. Otherwise it's like saying "I painted the Christmas tree red, and it doesn't clash with the wall, so therefore we ought to legalize cyanide." Whether or not a red Christmas tree actually does or does not clash with the color of the wall has absolutely no bearing on the argument we actually care about.
Same thing with claiming VT. We have no new information, the test tells us nothing. "Annie claimed VT, so therefore she's...?"
I honestly don't get the point of this post, because to me it seems like you've basically taken my post and put an awfully long explainer after it so that even retarded people will understand my point. A simple "yeah you can't say anything about the claim if everyone claims VT" would have had the same meaning and less words. This just makes you look smarter, it makes you look more towny.
You have made some good points, but for some reason you feel the need to put awfully long explainers in it, which honestly doesn't make me very inclined to trust you, seeing as a reason to be doing this, again, could be because it makes you look more towny.
I'm not going to quote your huge post because it's huge, but I will respond to it. You, once again, give a huge explainer as to why you think JK should claim, but consider this: the doctor is actually more likely to stop protecting the JK for a cheeky wifom because it's not their OWN life on the line. To them it's actually not as bad if the JK dies as it would be if they themselves were to die. If they themselves die, that's it. It's game over for them, if the JK dies that sucks, but they're still in the game. They'll take more risks with other people's lives than with their own.
Of course you might be right and the doctor won't take risks, that depends on the kind of person they are. So if the JK wants to claim, they can, but they might still be risking their life, as the doctor might risk it for them.
Read above about how the doc died and scum won. Might not be the same in every one, but it's definitely a large handicap for town. We all know that there is a shit ton of Wifom involved with the claiming of doc/JK, so let's stop commenting since I think each and every one of us can think it up in our heads and it's already been said before.
I don't think doc and JK risking their lives at all are a good idea right now, but idk about anyone else.Delilah H. wrote:Actually Mimi, I posted 3 content-filled posts. Or did you miss the long post in between the two you mentioned?
Mfw game 23 is pure shitposting and lolicons and shoutacons. So I think it's safe to say that we are having a better D1 discussion than them rn. Then again none of us have particularly "scummy" avatars... that I noticed.
I'd like to see a bit more activity and discussion from everyone btw.
DON'T TALK ABOUT LOLICONS AND SHOUTACONS I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL GO OFF ON YOU.
Also activity is nice but I've also been a tiny bit busy to do this. I think ohers have been too, but as we get into it we'll see who really talks a lot and who doesn't contribute much. My goal this game it to be more active that last games though, so! \o/
I honestly don't get why you are freaking out about that but ok. After I ask one question: what are lolicons and shoutacons?
Guys to make posts shorter and easier to read do spoiler (text) /spoiler in the square brackets for things that you are quoting.

Haruno, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the JK claim debate we are having rn as well as your thoughts on the Towa lynch. I mean all you've said so far has been one liners.Brodie do me and the rest of us a favor and refrain from overly complex words. I dont like having to stop reading in order to look up the definition of a word when I play a game of mafia. Not everyone is studying the SAT word of the day, sweetie. Of course every once in a while is fine, but dont riddle your posts with them. It's not to much of a problem now, but I'm worried it will become one. Referring back to what Annie said earlier, it doesn't make you seem smarter or any more townie. Tbh it could make you seem too pompous for your own good.Plus I feel that if a post is chopped full of advanced vocab, it might be a little more distracting for the whole point to come across.
At least you realized that JK claiming isnt the best of actions rn. Although I still think the JK should claim sometime in the future, pre MYLO

Fernando, that long post was only because of Brody's long post... that and this game has been hella active.Mimi, we arent hammering Towa yet, she's only halfway there. I don't want a hammer too early either. Every minute we have is valuable discussion time. All I'm saying is that she's the scummiest person atm. This may change later on in the day.
I think JK should claim later on in the game, if I hadnt made that clear yet. Also JK dont immediately claim if a kill doesnt go through. there's doc, there's your protect, and then there's your rb. dont assume that the target is scum automatically... unless you are out and doc is dead.

Game 24: Near-Vanilla
Towa Q. wrote:1 doc, 1 jk, 3 maf, 8 VTs @Nanette B.
If we lynch Day 1, then we have a total of 4 misslynches, assuming maf makes a kill every night. This should be easy, all we have to do is lead a witch-hunt against a VT claim.
So, I'll start with the least QT user. Professor Icarus would you like to claim VT?
I'd love the ability to edit but I really can't rn. If that's your rationale for lynching people rn, this game is gonna be terrible in the long run.
Towa Q. wrote:Doc can be on JK and JK can be on doc if need be. If you're not a VT though, then I don't want to waste a lynch on a town power role. If we're lynching a potential doc or JK, then yes, there is a point to claiming.
Actually... reading along further, I am starting to find you pretty scummy. For example, you brought up this major wifom. Do you see the problems in your statement there? Here I'll point them out for you.
1. "JK can be on doc": then the doc protect goes to waste, because the Jailkeeper will prevent the doc from protecting. Basic Jailkeeper 101- whoever he targets is blocked and protected. Which means one or the other is protected, not both.
2. Another big problem is the assumption that the mafia wont go around this and try to hit VT's (THERE is a LOT of wifom in your scenario) in order to avoid it.
3. The third assumption that is being made, which is even more wifom, is that the jk and doc know which one of them mafia will be hitting that night. one mistake and both go down.
4. Another problem I have here is the possibility of a mafia ccing the JK or doc, as is likely to happen in the events of or prior to the actual claim because it makes it harder for the kill to be secured properly which factors into the biggest problem i have
5. It requires BOTH the JK and the Doc to know who each other are. which means less chance of mafia messing up a kill
Natasha L. wrote:Hey guys.
I am just warning everyone in advance, there will probably be an in-game day or two in here when I will not be able to be talking in this game. Sorry. I will tell you when this happens.
Also, as for claiming in this setup. The "rules" for claiming in this setup are that if you are getting lynched and you are either doc or JK, claim. If someone claims doc or jk and you are the doc or JK, CC immediately. Getting one scum and losing a doc is almost always worth it.
These rules get a little mixed up during LYLO / MYLO because scum can easily CC doc or jk to get a town member lynched. Just be aware of this.
This is actually a good point to note and should be integral to keep in the back of our minds progressing later on in the game.
Nanette B. wrote:Mimi F. wrote:If JK claims, doc could protect JK, but if the JK jails the doc then it's rip JK. Not the most sound strategy.
Well, scum Mafia won't know if JK hits doc, so there's a low chance that both the JK hits doc AND the scum hits JK.
refer to what I said earlier in response to Towa pls. danke
Brodie S. wrote:Mimi F. wrote:If JK claims, doc could protect JK, but if the JK jails the doc then it's rip JK. Not the most sound strategy.
JK actually can safely claim in this setup, protected by the mere existence of a doctor, a situation so rare and habitually underutilized that I would caution us from immediately classifying it as "scary and very bad" and moving on.
Let's say there was a doctor who could protect herself. The obvious choice is to protect themselves each and every night unless there was for-sure, imminent threat to another less important person. She's more valuable, after all; she should do so for much the same reasons Presidents hide in fallout bunkers during terrorist attacks. So, this comes with the additional benefit of being able to claim, because no way Mafia is dumb enough to target someone who's just going to protect themselves. Of course, WIFOM alert, this makes for an incentive to shift her protect to someone else, just once to be naughty, and see if she can get away with it, because there's a very good chance Mafia doesn't target her that night, having suspected just that very thing. In the end, she and the Mafia replaying their own personal mind games, while the rest of the Town has a much-appreciated leader.
We are in a superlative position than this, even. The JK is guaranteed protection unless he accidentally hits the doctor. He cannot play the mind games himself, and so is protected from temptation. The doctor in this setup is likewise bridled, and less prone to carelessness, because it's Grand Master Leader whose life she holds in her hands rather than just herself, and that just feels particularly... weighty :/
If you think the doctor in scenario one should always self-protect (barring extraordinary circumstances), and I personally do, then the situation we are in comes with only a few differences.
PROS: 1) LEADERSHIP which is awesome so long as the person who's in charge is worthy of it. 2) Temptation for ill-fated trickery on behalf of the protecting roles is diminished greatly.
CONS: 1) When doctor dies, JK dies the night after. Though, in my opinion, better to have loved and lost... 2) JK might hit the doctor, also on the same night Mafia for some reason targets JK, which is incredibly unlikely, but worth mentioning. 3) We're down one protection every night from a possible two, so the possibility of a save is about sort of not really halved. But a successful save only gives us a NL day, and two saves are required for a ML...Fernando T. wrote:that would be correct.

Don't randomlynch. It's lazy, and lazy people don't have much of a right to breathe.
(Same for you two fillers up there.)Towa Q. wrote:If it feels good, do it.
Lynch Gurkinn N.
Are you a VT claim, or other?
1) Bandwagoning on a randomlynch is the most overtly nihilistic thing you could be doing at the moment. Congratulations(!), day one has barely begun, and I don't feel like I can trust you to pull your weight mid/late game now. Consider this a challenge to change my mind.
2) If there ever was an awful claim, it's VT. Literally everybody claims VT in this game except maybe the JK as I've discussed. If JK decides not to claim at all, which is perfectly understandable, then every VT claim makes the Mafia hitting JK slightly more likely. Of course, this holds true if and only if the JK does not claim anything at all themselves. So it's potentially harmful to demand VT claims, and at best useless.
3) Again, the only claim to can or should matter is whether the JK wants to out, which I personally recommend because it would make the game a bit more intriguing than mere Vanilla-where-maybe-a-kill-is-prevented-one-night-so-we-just-talk-and-NL-the-next-day.
To reiterate: JK should make the personal decision to claim if they feel the power of their leadership overwhelms the particular problems outlined above. If you are able and willing to serve in this manner, then the kingdom be thine.
Lynch Towa Q. for bandwagoning on a randomlynch which is baaaad and not at all inviting for good leadersheep.
To be honest random lynching isnt the worst thing in the world, as it does help formulate reads via reaction tests. But other than that minor disagreement I actually find a lot of your arguements to be compelling.
Towa wanted VT claims for us to lynch btw... To me I feel it is mafia trying to rule out the jk/doctor subtly. Does anyone else feel this?
Idk where my stance is on this debate of jk claim or not. I feel that it is a little too WIFOM for my tastes. I mean I wouldnt mind seeing a JK claim in the future... but I dont know if its the right moment rn.
Brodie S. wrote:Annie F. wrote:Are we still talking about the asking people to claim VT thing? because no matter who you ask, they should be claiming VT. that's common sense.

Alright so as it stands, my current reads are
Brodie: Town
Natasha: Town
Annie: slight town but negligible tbh more null than not.
Nanette: Slight mafia but still close to null.
Towa: Scummy but I could see a bit of misunderstanding on her part... idk. for now i think a lynch on you is fine. You can never have too much pressure... unless hammer
