btw for reference sake, he based this game off of the other tarot maf game, so that's why he thinks its pretty inactive (which it kinda is)

https://epicmafia.com/topic/80150?page=82

that's when the first day ended in that game (page 82)

couple things u can take from that is what the roles might look like in this game (aka multi roles with stuff that may have 1-2shots/etc)

I believe if you're a miller, you should claim, but I don't know if that's actually true or not (and I mean, seriously. instead of troll claiming it as town when you aren't one and throwing off town on possibly prs)

also probably should not claim your tarot card needlessly since it may or may not be based off your pr abilities

TownOfSalemRox, i’d like to clarify that i wasn’t fossing the long-post-writers for writing long posts, but rather I was saying mafia would likely be smart and have one of their members trying to lead town (and in order to do that, probably writing a long post). and actually i think there might be only one since i doubt they’d be soo invested as to have two or all three members trying to lead.

Or he could be a trolly bomb.

Birbtales do we learn the thing that the dead do when they die?

TownOfSalemRox says

Getting an orcish vibe from LesbianPirate and getting a power power role vibe from htennis

I interpreted htennis as someone who thought with certainty that they won't die at night, and it makes sense as well if he's mafia.

I also sr htennis because he's acting trolly and not in a good way, more of a "how can I act like I'm trying but really just confusing everyone"

*she.

I also do not tr Arrogate either, because their reasoning doesn't hold up

Arrogate says

lmaooo I love this omgus, dude, you know we're all prs, you're trying to fish out the more important ones I feel, I have a valid reason for voting you, literally half the people voting gave no reason

You're voting me though, and that makes me focus more on you. I already invalidated your reason.

also @Carmen i’m a she, january is my alt :)

oh my bad, noted

I was going to sleep then I realized i needed to study for a math test tomorrow and i needed a break so here I am

Arrogate, we already know maf probably has PR roles as well, because 10 pr roles and 3 nillas is not equal in any way. I'm outting PR reads for potentially linking together someone's role in the future, in case we need specific interactions (like a driver existing or something). As for "fishing for PR", that's me outting those reads. No one is going to behave like this example:

"Hey i think X is orc"

X: "omg ur right i'm orc i hardclaim"

Plus I'd just share my reads in the mafia chat rather than posting them out in the open. Those reads were based on what people softed/hinted at in their typing, some more clear than others, like LesbianPirate's INVESTIGATE soft that i didn't notice.

Ghost13 you pointed out your own hypocrisy. Plus, your reasoning is not only weak, but also applicable to multiple people. Denial + some other guy i forgot is one of them, yet you've said nothing.

My guess is that you're focusing on the most recent vote, either to get me lynched and out instantly, or because you just want someone lynched due to the inactivity.

I see now that Arrogate probably just had a gap in logic, which is fine. For that reason I am Unvoting Arrogate , but I absolutely do not tr Ghost13 for coming back, saying he participates, takes like the last 5 posts, and makes an entire "gameplan" off of that.

Carmen says

Also why do I keep getting PMs? We have like 12 pages that's a fine amount of activity.

i guess it’s cuz we have only 5 votes up? i mean it’s kinda hard to really make reads based on today onlyyy

also @Carmen i’m a she, january is my alt :)

Ghost13 says

i’m actually gonna go completely opposite of carmen’s statement about interactions. Since this is quite different than normal mafia due to the fact that mafia can talk during the day, i think that it’s much more likely be trying to FORCE an interaction since they can decide how to respond to each other.

This is a good point, actually. This is my first forum mafia game so bear with me.

At this point we need to decide on a lynch, yeah. I want htennis more than anyone, because he's my only strong sr. I don't think a LP lynch is good just because she's trolling, and Arrogate's lines have been getting better. I'd still be down for Ghost, but he's actually participating so between the two htennis is preferable.

Also why do I keep getting PMs? We have like 12 pages that's a fine amount of activity.

pretty conservative reads though, i’ll work on them in an hour or so

apologies for not participating very much, i’ve been lurking/responding but didn’t have time to compose an actual message

i’m actually gonna go completely opposite of carmen’s statement about interactions. Since this is quite different than normal mafia due to the fact that mafia can talk during the day, i think that it’s much more likely be trying to FORCE an interaction since they can decide how to respond to each other.

that being said, i do see a potential maf-maf interaction between ToSRox and Arrogate - but only a weak one.
(edit: since writing this part i want to retract the TosRox/Arrogate team read since it really makes very little sense to bus this hard with only 3 mafias; however i still do think that mafia team will likely be forcing interactions today)

i can’t really make reads on lines based on what we have so far especially since mafia is going to pre-prepare their messages to leave as little as possible to go off of

but for now:
likely at LEAST a mafia between arrogate/ToSRox, more likely ToSRox - ask me why i’ll explain but i think this post is long enough
and a mafia in one of the tryhards writing long posts because i’m betting mafia decided to have at least one person trying to lead town (hypocritical i know i just wrong a long post but :/)

anyways for now...: VOTE TownOfSalemRox

Would anyone else like to get behind me on my lynch?

lmaooo I love this omgus, dude, you know we're all prs, you're trying to fish out the more important ones I feel, I have a valid reason for voting you, literally half the people voting gave no reason

However, until I can find a specific reason Ghost isn't town I can't vote him. Sleeping now bye

mw295 you're absolutely right I'm ditsy i can't focus easily in a normal game because of slight ADHD, and I'm definitely not going to focus in this long Forum game.

I still have a solid tr in denial, and I slightly fos Arrogate for not unvoting but not explaining.

Also I don't know why but I don't think Ghost13 is town

Why is everyone so divided, at this rate we're not gonna lynch anyone

Elfen you better back up off of my woman unless you wanna get tossed right in front of her salad. LP is town, pls do better.

Denial - medium TR - he's trying to push this game along, yes he's being a little controlling but but based on him as a person, this reads as town to me. He's not sitting around waiting for people to fos each other, instead he's trying to take charge but clearly in a way where he doesn’t care about getting heat on himself this early - he's not stupid, I read him as town.

Shady - slight TR - while I admit I tend to TR shady in like every game (thanks for the s/o in your pastebin <3), his thought processes are super towny and open minded, which again, read as town to me. The only reason this is slight instead of medium/large is because shady admittedly fools me a lot.

So yes, given the stage of the game and the huge lack of information we have in terms of roles, I'm scum hunting by using personality x lines :)

ADDITIONAL TRs:

iChaotic - I like the way they sound, doesn’t feel like they’re scared of pissing people off/possibly being omgused

TownOfSalemRox - comes off as ditzy, not calculated at all, feels town to me.


TOP SR:

Happeh - literally only comments in small bursts once in a while about things other people say. Feels like they have no reason to scum hunt which I don’t like - gives me a maf vibe.

elfen you better back up off my man unless you wanna get tossed up like a Caesar salad

no croutons

The hard fos could change if mw295 gives reasoning on the townreads. (all of them).

I would be more in favor on a NL today, since the power roles have not gone into effect, but that post was not the towny mw295.

LesbianPirate says

the rumors are false. i am no troll. i am here to INVESTIGATE and DETERMINE whether or not my peers are scum. happeh keeps questioning everything i do which makes me think they are trying to paint a big target on my forehead

but lucky for you, I CAN PAINT THAT TARGET ON MY OWN HEAD!


and denial: OF COURSE I COULD POSSIBLY BE SCUM! ANYONE COULD "POSSIBLY" BE THIS OR THAT SO YOU ARE JUST STATING THE OBVIOUS AT THIS POINT! i am going to keep pushing denial for a role and keep watch on happeh. you are no sneaky deaky, i can see right through you like frosted glass

To be honest, I didn't like that INVESTIGATE line.
It showed me some sort of softing. I guess it's possibly to avoid some read?

I also see mw295 made a hefty post about TR's, and no SR. This was a really safe post with no explanation.

denial seems to be trying really hard, harder than he would try if he was mafia.

That being said,
fos being on LesbianPirate (weak one, we'll see more things on the next days) and mw295 (strong one).

Thus, until next notice, VOTE mw295.
