Anyway I'm Nikolai and I can invert alignments. Going to be super useful.

So... we're talking about:
1) A cop
2) A motion detector/follower/watcher/voyeur
It's temporary QB. Basically I either use it on myself to keep suspicion off or use it on someone who I think is being targeted by the cop.
The obvious day one strategy is for one of you to pull a Darryl and then I flip you. It might be too much of a broadcast though.

QuantumBro

I was thinking the best day 1 strategy was to go for a no lynch.
What's a Darryl?
19
Razmos
07-29-2015
01:14 PM ET (US)
I like that idea Haly, basically someone make themselves look really suspicious, then flip their alignment so if they are investigated they look like town. Is that right?
20
haly
07-29-2015
01:23 PM ET (US)
Darryl was really antagonistic in the AC game. He basically alienated everyone and, strangely enough, this freed him from suspicion because everyone thought there was no way Mafia could be that brazen. He was also a traitor that had to be investigated/targeted to be turned and so his antagonism had the double effect of making him more likely to be investigated.
Of course it helped him that the Role Cop in our game was also Mafia aligned.
And yes Razmos, that's what I had in mind. The problem is if the cop is an experienced player like Burbeting, he can probably see through the bluff and you'll stay in his sights. I think it might be better if we just laid low on Day 1 and suss out everyone's personalities first before employing any gambits.
21
Razmos
07-29-2015
01:36 PM ET (US)
I think my strategy is to try and be as much like I was in the last game. I was honest from the very beginning and survived for (nearly) the entire game. There was pretty much never any suspicion that I was Mafia, I was a confirmed town throughout.
That might work in my favour here, because it's the only knowledge of me they have to go off.
22
haly
07-29-2015

I was in a similar situation to Razmos although I'll try to be more active this time around.
QuantumBro, I missed the SW game what history did you have that we should be aware of?
23
QuantumBro
07-29-2015
02:08 PM ET (US)
In both games I have had town roles, was usually pretty open about what role I had, and have always made accusations against people then ended up not being mafia.
Right now, I'm thinking of claiming to be a sleepwalker if I'm pressed and not make any accusations since, "they hurt the town in the last games, so I'll keep them to myself for now."
24

By the way it goes without saying but we should try to find out what the "Town" role is called, unless I missed it somewhere.

At its most basic, what you're trying to do is pretend you're Town, while still working towards Mafia goals. This means you join in discussion, point fingers, reference posts as evidence, "try" to figure out who's Mafia.
As for what our goals are, they include:
1) Making things more confusing for the town. This could be a lot of things, like accusing others (and therefore widening the suspect pool), creating and promoting disagreements, making a lot of noise like useless jokes and side discussion that distract them from actually figuring us out, and sometimes just being silent when there's a lull in activity (silence is the Town killer).
2) Figuring out who are the town Power Roles so we can kill them. One of the best ways is to threaten to lynch someone in order to make them claim their role or just break their spirit so they start behaving erratically (and thus suspiciously).
3) Keeping the heat off of everyone here. Generally, you don't want to overtly say "Well I don't think Haly, Razmos, and QuantumBro are suspicious because of reasons". That just creates a link between all of us the better players can use to suss us out. However, when you do see one of us is at risk, you should throw your vote against someone else, as long as there's an argument against them. This is what I mean by "pretend to be Town". You should be building convincing arguments against Townies even though you know they aren't Mafia so that you can bring them up in discussion and look pro-Town. Similarly, you can defend a Townie from time to time (convincingly) so that if they do get killed, by town or by us, you can go "I told you guys Townie A was a good guy!".
This is a lot to take in, I know, so don't worry about getting it all immediately. This is only my second game of Mafia anyway. As a new player, you have the advantage of getting the benefit of the doubt if you can convince people you're overwhelmed by the complexity of the game. Crab told me that for Mafia, it's important to pick a persona and stick with it, and the best persona to choose is simply yourself. Imagine what you would do if you didn't have access to all our information and you'll get an idea of how you "should' behave.
I believe it's best if you just start by keeping quiet and observing and asking a question from time to time. In fact, I kind of wish I didn't write all this up so you can play the newbie authentically but I figure it's best in the long run if you know what you're getting into.
If you want to read about the theory wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Newbie_Guide has some good articles on it although it's not very structured.

By the way, anyone got some thoughts on the Mission mechanic?
What makes this mechanic a real problem is that by killing someone either on the mission or off it, we make it obvious which group of players has at least one Mafia. Over the course of several of these killings, it'll become extremely obvious who are the common denominators.
I'm thinking we should refrain from killing anyone in the mission in the earlier days. But if I was a Cop, I would volunteer, both to protect myself (killing in the mission is a huge risk for us) and also to investigate people who volunteer, who may be trying to pick him off. So, we give up our chance to kill the Cop in exchange for avoiding the deathtrap of Missions.
My Day 1 play might be to volunteer and then flip my own alignment. I also think we can figure out who's a power role by how often they volunteer. Basically, volunteering is protection.
Oh, I'll also need a role claim in case someone catches me targeting myself.

The first four people to volunteer (or less) go on the mission. If they change their mind , they can unvolunteer, but they lose their place in the queue.
Each night will have a different mission with (potentially) different volunteers.

Ah, I understand how missions work now. I like Haly's idea of him tagging along for the first mission, just gotta make sure you're quick to sign up. As for a role claim, you could try being an armorer.
Mike should definitely carry out all of the kills since he can do them silently.
Ourobolus, is the blocking message someone would receive generic, or will they know it was done by someone on the KGB team?

Awesome! In that case I'm going to switch up my role claim, now I'll claim to have the power to target any person during the night and if they're aligned with the KGB, I have a 50-50 chance of killing them or dying. Sleepwalker's up for grabs if anyone wants it. The character will be Rip Riley
Also here are two other roles that you could try claiming if you play the game right:

These are the common informative roles.
Cop learns what a player's alignment is.
Role Cop learns what a player's role is.
Tracker learns who a player targeted, but not what action that player performed.
Watcher learns who targeted a player, but not what actions were performed on them.
Follower learns what action a player performed, but not who that player targeted.
Voyeur learns what actions were performed on a player, but not who targeted them.
Motion Detector learns if any actions were performed by or on a player, but not what they were, or who else was involved.
Because of my ability, we know there's at least a Cop or something that detects alignment. We also know there's no Role Cop because of what our roles are called. Bluffing out of them is almost impossible.
I am confident that there is no Follower, because of the nature of my ability, which makes it a dead giveaway.
That leaves:
Tracker (learn who the target targeted with his action)
Watcher (learn who targeted the target with an action)
Voyeur (learn what action was performed on the target)
Motion Detector (learn if the target performed an action or was targeted)
I wanted to target myself most of the time, but only the Motion Detector will let that slide. I don't think Ouro included a Motion Detector in this game,
The Tracker, especially, will mess with the "fake role" Ron Cadillac, The Used Car Dealer that Ouro provided. Does this mean there's no Tracker? I wouldn't want to risk it. Either way, both the Tracker and the Watcher put me at risk. If they see me targeting myself, I have to claim a protective role like Doctor. I'd like to avoid this if possible because that is one of the worst things you can claim.
A Voyeur is more manageable. It'll look like someone wants to get me out, as long as I don't remain consistent in targeting myself.
So, I need a role that:
1) Targets a single player at a time
2) Has a reason to target themselves (unless I want to give up targeting myself which I don't)
3) Isn't a Doctor
I'm drawing a blank here guys.
Also I want to kill squidyj Night 1 but after his callout of... 3/4th of our team (jesus-fucking-christ) I'm not sure that's advisable. We'll risk getting our names out there unless we can play it off. The players to watch out for are Burbeting and Visualante, who are experienced at this game, and squidyj's playstyle is also very dangerous for us (he forces everyone in his sights to be active).
In my ideal world, burbeting overcommits to his experience and leads a vote on squidyj today because of his drastically more pro-town appearance than everyone else's.
51
haly
08-02-2015
04:58 PM ET (US)
Or, you know. It would actually make sense to target myself repeatedly. Anyone can plainly see that the only role that wants to do so is a Doctor, and no one wants to reveal the Doctor ahead of time.
This will hinge on our Followers/Watchers having a certain level of game awareness, however.
52
Mike_Hawk689
08-02-2015
04:58 PM ET (US)
squidyj is gonna be gloating once he finds out his list is almost perfect..
Killing him would be nice, but like Haly said I wouldn't go for him on N1.
Given there are some experience players, should they be the ones to be booted off first for N1?
imo, i would choose an experience player that has been pushing for someone really hard (that's not one of us, to throw the scent away)
53
Mike_Hawk689
08-02-2015
05:00 PM ET (US)
Haly: use your power on yourself in missions, odds are the tracker/watcher will rather stay out of the missions to get more choices to inspect.
54
haly
08-02-2015
05:08 PM ET (US)
From my perspective, I would join the volunteer group as a Tracker/Watcher because there's less of a chance of being killed...
But I'd flip my alignment on a mission anyway so the end result is the same.

As long as squidyj isn't on any of our asses (the list doesn't count), we can afford to let him live. But it's precisely because of this that we need to kill him ASAP. It's too late to do so when he's bothering any of us like he is now for roy.
Our options Night 1 will be, in no particular order:
1) Killing squidyj: Might implicate us, might implicate roy. moderate risk, high reward
2) Killing one of the experienced players Visualante and burbeting: Doesn't sit well with me, I was looking forward to seeing them work as a learning experience . low risk, high reward
3) Killing cabbeh: "as I was printing out the latest numbers on exotic locations to ‘spy’ on". low risk, moderate reward
4) Killing mazre: This might implicate squidyj on D2. low risk, moderate reward
5) Killing someone middle of the road: We can and should choose randomly if we do so, low risk, low reward
I gotta say, I really don't want to be the one to decide who has to leave the game so soon but it's us or them. And, of course, we assign all kills to Mike_Hawk689 as long as he's alive since he's the best killer.

Oh I should point this out too:
"-1. In the event one of the players is assassinated during the day phase, they will be replaced by the next player in line for the mission."
So we have someone with a day kill.
58

And that a few of the town have Twilight roles. It's hard to tell what's going on there until one of us volunteers and goes through the process (I will try to do this next time), but, just as an example, I think someone can pull someone else off a mission during this phase.

Assassination = kill = lynch. Think of it as the "evict" for this game. A day kill was not implied.
60

08-02-2015

I think we should not evict any of the first 5-6 people who volunteered to let them continue thinking that one of them must be mafia. And we should kill the ones who accused them.

That's a good idea. We'll have the opportunity to go over the targets during night once we know who's volunteering for sure.

I want to use either Woodhouse and Ron. The problem is their results are not falsifiable in any way, so I can use the names, but I need to come up with a new effect. This is my current plan:
------------------
Fakeclaim 1: Woodhouse - The Valet
DEAL: <player> to block them for the night, targets yourself if no one else is targeted.
Counters: General Pressure
You are Woodhouse - The Valet.
You are aligned with ISIS.
Addiction is difficult to overcome. It's so easy to just slip into that heroin-induced coma to get away from the stress of life; Sterling's relentless abuse of your good nature certainly doesn't help. And he was such a nice boy once.
At night, you may PM me the command DEAL: <player> to block them from taking any actions. However, if you don't deal to any other player, then you shoot up by yourself, and this will trigger roles that look for activity and targeting in the night.
------------------
This role isn't perfect. Namely, the second self-targeting clause, while flavorful, is bound to set off alarms for our more experienced players (and when it does, one of you should point this out along with whoever first calls me out, likely squidj or burbeting). Once that happens, this is my second claim.
------------------
Fakeclaim 2: Nikolai Jakov, the KGB Defector
COVER: <player>, but dies when covering KGB
Counters: Tracker, Watcher, Heightened Pressure
You are Nikolai Jakov, the KGB Defector.
You are aligned with ISIS (technically).
At one point, you realized that all you wanted was to get close to your (supposed) son, Sterling Archer. Even in your exile, you have a vast information network with which you can use to protect him and his fellow agents, hopefully redeeming yourself in Malory's eyes in the process.
At night, you may PM me the command COVER: <player> to protect them from being assassinated. However, if you cover a KGB agent, they will find where you're hiding and kill you.
------------------
The second one is more complicated but from Mafiascum's wiki, it seems the best way to use this (look up Weak Doctor) is like a pseudo-Cop, using it aggressively to confirm innocent targets. Of course, I will be making a list of people to confirm, seeing as how we already know who's KGB and who isn't. This is basically what franconp did in the AC games, except he actually had Role Cop. I will be choosing weak players when I'm not trying to frame the strong players and I welcome on input on this front. I will also be protecting myself the first two nights just to prevent the possibility of an early exposure by investigation.
If any of you watch Archer, correct me on any flavor mishaps. It's against the rules, technically, to put my "role PM" in the thread verbatim, but that doesn't mean I don't need to get in character.

Wow those are some nice roles and texts!!
If you want to make it more legit, we can take a hugeeeeeeeee risk by making you look like a prime suspect for death during a night, but not killing anyone for you to confirm that you blocked yourself. Kind of a big stretch, wouldn't recommend it though haha.

Yeah I know the drill Quantum. I actually see it as good cover because we're on a lot of lists together.
And I thought of that Mike but it might be going in too hard on the fake when we don't even need to do it yet. It's in the back of my mind though. We'd have to be very desperate to employ this gambit, which I consider stage 3 of my bluff.
Stage 1) Claim Blocker
Stage 2) Claim Weak Doctor
Stage 3) "Fabricate" Kill Block

So yeah, squidyj is probably our biggest threat right now, but we should wait a few days before doing anything about it.
Right now I think our best bet is to go after a more experienced person during the night. I'd recommend El Topo or Hobohodo.
haly, you're role writeups are good. I think the second fakeclaim is the better one.
I'd also like to point out the the Ron fakeclaim is a pretty good one. I had that type of role in the very first game and you can get away with having a minimal effect on the game since the only people who will know for sure if someone was switched was the Mafia. It could also work for haly since if you get caught targeting yourself, you can just claim you just switched yourself with someone else.
I'm going to claim a weak cop if I'm found out, any ideas on who to block tonight?

It won't work if the tracker sees I targeted only one person when I'm supposed to have targeted two. Also the switcher got brought up in one of the other games and, understandably, people didn't trust it, because it can be very anti-town even in the hands of someone pro-town because it's difficult to use.

These are the "tells" I've collected so far:
cabbeh
"as I was printing out the latest numbers on exotic locations to ‘spy’ on"
YesNOnoNOYes
"likely because mother doesn't like him"
Zubz
"I mean, maybe they were in the dossier, but who reads those?"
Zubz is experienced and roleplaying, it's a longshot with him. YesNo is less experienced and also roleplaying so she has a higher chance of trying to have fun with a named role, would be pretty much perfect if she was Sterling. Cabbeh is completely new and my argument for blocking him is the same for blocking YesNo.

Ah, forgot about a possible tracker. Still would work for mike or razmoz if they still needed one. The list of blockees look good, I'll keep an eye on them.
I also might have come up with a way to squidyj look very suspicious, but it's risky as all hell. We would basically have to convince everyone that there is a mastermind in the game.

With a mastermind, none of the mafia members would know who each other are. Squidy immediately asked people to say who they thought mafia members were and is adamant that there are at least 5 members in the mafia. We could play off both of those and raise some doubt.
I'd also think people would be more likely to believe that there would be a mastermind since it fits a spy themed game, and anything that gets town more confused is always good for us.

My bluff will be that the voting for volunteering scheme is basically crowdsourcing noise generation, and, to be honest, I'm not wrong. Hobo feels this way, and so does Burbeting. Roy is in squidy's good graces but this can be turned around if we give him roy's scent. Plus, the fact that Ouro revealed we had our forums open 2 days in advance for preplanning means the people who have more to say about the missions early on had more time to digest it and plan for it. I'm afraid of laying it on too thick though, I'm not a great actor. I've been editing and trimming down all of my posts before throwing them out entirely.
Oh right, I'd just like to say hi to all the people we killed who'll read this once this forum opens and you get to see what we were up to. No hard feelings! Except for you, squidyj, fuck you!

This Mastermind role is a bit hard to digest. I assume that one of the rules of the Masterminded Mafia chat is that no one can publicly reveal their names? Otherwise I don't see the point. It seems like the strength of the role comes from making sure the Mafia don't overthink who their partners are and I don't know why squidy, as a mastermind, would try to circumvent this.
Wait, is the mastermind anti-Mafia? If so then there's no way squidy would broadcast it like the way you suggest.

Depending on how things shake out by the end of Day 1, we might really be able to lynch Squidyj and block one of the suspected power roles. This is the best outcome for us. We just need for there to be enough distance between the HotGate posts and the end of Day 4 so that when people are wondering why squidyj was killed (other than the obvious fact that he is a very strong player), they will look at all the discussion, and not the initial calls, which were haphazard anyway.
Ways this could go wrong:
1) He's the Doctor, but we just try again on the follow day with blocking.
2) He's Bulletproof, I'll need to implicate him with my ability while you guys focus on other targets.
3) He's a Commuter, and we either waste another night trying again or are forced to leave him there.
The chances of any of these three happening are very low. It's just something to be prepared for.

No, I'm not confused. I just need to make sure squidyj doesn't get to manipulate it to make himself invincible.
Additionally, it's better for us if everyone is confused on what to think about the missions, so whatever. As much as I'd like a quick mislynch on day one, turning this into the Big Topic works just as well.

He's sleeping. He goes dark at approximately 4-6PM EST (9-11PM for his England time).
I don't know how I'm going to play this. I wanted to make a deflection post but I don't know whether or not to defend Razmos. If I don't address Razmos, squidyj will just ask why I'm ignoring the problem of Razmos seeing as how we were in the same game together. If I do, then squidyj gets a link and if Razmos gets lynched I'm next, since Seath probably triggers no alarms for him whatsoever. My defense would simply be that Razmos' behavior is consistent with what I know of him, and that I cannot completely separate what I learned last game from this game.
Right now I'm just going to go dark and hope it peters out, as the thread is already going into a lull. I'm glad squidyj is insistent on the voting shit, because we'll get a few more days worth of nonsense out of that, especially if he and Palmer goes head to head.

If Squidyj keeps on like this, it might actually be a good thing.
If nobody else joins him in lynching me, he might eventually give up on it. But at least then, I've been accused, defended myself, and it gives no reason for anyone to find me suspicious with that out in the open, so they are unlikely to do it again.
It's good to get it out of the way so quickly because it might buy me some time.

"To be honest, I haven't really had much time to look over this thread and actively participate to due constraints that I have in life. Even if I didn't participate, I feel that most of the conversation is going around how we pick the volunteers for the mission. So here's my take in the missions. As this give a small twist, I kinda like it since it resembles Avalon, but also since you get better chances at finding the KGB. For example, if two or more mafia are in the missions, at least one will unvolunteer to lower the chances of being read/caught by any power role.
Going to my first assumptions in my few posts, I still believe one mafia/KGB is one of the first four. Why? Again, due to the fact that Ouro gave them a couple of days to strategize. I believe they probably had more insight on these missions that we currently due. They probably understood the whole concept way before us and where able to stagger their volunteering to make sure to be in every mission they can to keep an eye on everyone. I'm sure most people remember that the gossip chats in AC had many role claims. (Though I don't know if they were completely true because I didnt read the side chats.)
Keeping in mind that missions were understood by mafia/KGB, they knew who to volunteer and when. Meaning that any people who are asking for a complete change of the volunteering process are good in my book, since this flushes the strategy the mafia/KGB probably set up before Malory quickly fired the trigger to the start of this game.
I do find it pretty suspicious that Mazre was insanely fast to volunteer. Did he get a notice before all of us in their private chat? Or was he just lucky with the timing?"

I'm just here to push Squidyj out of it in the event we do get a Mazre/Tiger kill or one of them devolunteers at the last moment.
Also I think there's a neutral party. Yesno is right, we're kind of outnumbered at 4. Star Wars had 5/23 with 2 neutrals. Animal Crossing had 4.5/22 (ultron and franconp was basically one person even if they behaved as two). Those ranges are between 20-25% which is reasonable for online mafia. Us? 4/23, which is almost 1/6th, and we don't even have a flipper like Darryl, nor particularly strong roles.

I didn't want to vote for GreatLord Tiger because it would look like I'm trying to sneak onto the mission.
Keep this in mind when you're voting. A choice other than Mazre or GreatLord is ideal (although don't focus fire someone to bring them ahead of GreatLord because it's still in our favor if I'm on that mission).

If he moves into volunteer, he's basically signing a death wish. No one is going to allow him to go on a mission.
Killing him also puts a target on your back Haly.

The chances are slim that I get investigated and even slimmer now that squidy goofed. If I do use my ability offensively from now on, then it's easier for me to roleclaim something else...
Of course if I do get investigated I'm fucked.

I feel like squidy is just a regular drone, with nothing to lose, so he's that talkative. If he gets investigated he doesn`t really care since it backs him up. After what just happened with him pushing for visualante, I'm in for the framing of squidy. If I were to investigated someone it has to be squidy.

Hobohodo

haly
08-07-2015

I encourage everyone to compile their own list before looking at mine to approach the problem with fresh eyes. Highlight to see.
roy: This is a decent choice, he's firmly middle of the pack which suggests Power Role. Problem is squidy has an issue with me reading scum on him and he'll throw that in my face if we kill roy. Also he voted Mike
Burbeting: Also a good choice but I'm reluctant, one of the reasons I was excited about this game was watching someone experienced at work, but I didn't expect to be Mafia, also he had some shit to say about me along with squidy
cabbeh: I think he caught some flak day 1? But he also has a mild connection to Mike_Hawk
YesNo: Possible, she made it to the end of SW because, I think, her roleplaying and enthusiasm seems so genuine and harmless (although this might not work with squid and darryl around), no connection to us
Hobohodo: Also a good candidate, he's been on the down low.
If I had to rank them in order of least likely to be lynched by town (we should kill at the top)
Burbeting
Hobohodo
YesNo
Roytheone
Cabbeh
And in terms of increasing danger to us if they're killed (we should kill at the top)
Hobohodo
YesNo
Cabbeh
Roytheone
Burbeting
So... yeah. Either Hobo or YesNo.

After running through the thread once more, I have to agree that roy and burbeting would be bad lynch targets at this point in time.
El topo and cabbeh have given off mixed vibes, so I would let them stick around for a few more days.
So that leaves Hobo, YesNo, and Ezekel. Hobo and YesNo have both been pretty off with their guesses for KGB, so I don't think it's that big of a risk to keep them around.
So, I'd have to go with Ezekel since he did say he was going to post a report on everyone once the next day came and I think it's in our best interest to stop that from happening. Plus it points the finger at cooljeanius, since the two were at each others necks during the day. So that's who I'm going with.
Trying to decide between el topo and squidyj for who to block right now.
223
haly
08-07-2015
08:43 PM ET (US)
I agree with your reasoning for Ezekel, but I can see it backfiring in one way: Ezekel had a non-spectacular day 1. The only ones who are actually familiar with his posting style in the AC thread are AC players. Ironically, the AC players are in the best position to recognize that.
It would be a bit of stretch to claim KGB killed Ezekel based on reputation rather than KGB having a few AC players themselves. It's possible to turn this onto the other AC players, but squidy will never fall for it, because me and Razmos are his two main AC scum-reads.
Ultimately, this comes down to squidy, once again. Maybe I'm overestimating him, but I'm too paranoid to let it go.

TheGoddamn: Believes mafia is one of the first people to volunteer. Mainly inactive due to time zone. Post 719 is all about how he is going to vote soon with no other contribution. Post 729, he gives slack to new players such as Arkos and Tiger and believe Palmer is townie, votes for Mazre based on volunteering first. Mainly fluffing posts, keeps bringing up timezone as reason for low posts. Suspicious about Haly, squidyj, seath and QB because of their votes against cooljeanius and Visualnte. Voted for Tiger, because other people were pushing for other people? (post 1041) Sounds anti-town since he's trying to scatter votes = more chances of tie. No other concrete reasoning on voting for Tiger. Threat level is low, although suspicious about 2 of us, doesn't have any outstanding evidence on us. More likely to be suspicious about squidyj after the lynch.
roytheone: First posts are to understand the missions, following by suggesting a democratic way for volunteers, trying to stop KGB from exploiting the missions. Lists Haly, Mazre, Palmer, Seath and Arkos for early volunteering and KGB needs to have someone in the missions to kill or track night chat.
Votes for me for inactivity. Explains that although he is suspicious of Palmer, he doesn't want to vote because of the fact that experience players can give more to the town on the long run with more information from possible power roles. Haly is a low-priority on his list. Top 3: Seath for fluffing too much, Septimus prime for asking too many questions and me for inactivity and disagreeing with most my posts. Voted for Seath, said he is ok with his vote and will vote for Tiger if there's a tie. Ends up voting for Visualante2. (Inconsistency)
Arkos: Post #272, highly suggests he has a role? ability to kill someone? Neutral or town? But he says he's a drone. Choking machine in the lab (Cheryl?) Goes to town against squidyj. Post 1100 refers to the mission cooler, I think it refers to an episode of archer where they were fighting off crocs or aligators? Most likely an Archer line in that episode. He could be Archer, with power of killing 1 player per night or per game as the main character.

/m223 But that backfire is also there if we kill squidy since he was pretty loud at accusing . Right now, he's just the guy who got the doctor lynched. If we kill him, then he's proved to be a town role and people might look into his accusations a bit more. Even if squidy tries going after you and razmos tomorrow, he's going to have a hard time getting people to take him seriously. So, I'll stick with my vote on Ezekel.

Depends... But we're not going to try to kill him for a while I think. Is he's pure bulletproof (it's a passive, so it can't be blocked) and we're stuck with him until he's lynched.
I think he might be an odd commuter though. He didn't bother volunteering day 1 because he knew he was safe, but this time he snap volunteered. If he thought he dodged a kill, then that would explain it.
Ouro's pilfering a lot from the AC game though. Shame on you, Ouro.

But the honeypot is not KGB right?
Perhaps his ability is a bog standard protection from a kill, and he's bigging it up so it doesn't get tried again.

I think if QB gives us the language of his role we'll be able to tell.
For example, mine is FRAME. His could be SEDUCE or HONEYPOT, which would make sense.

12:56 AM ET (US)
No. We don't need to kill every town. We just need 50:50 ratio to win the game. It doesn't matter if Ezekel makes it to the end as long as his guesses aren't correct. The worst part is that we wasted a night but considering they also killed a doctor it balances out. And, now that he's claimed (prematurely), we won't waste any more kills on him. The next time we can get a hold of him outside of the mission he dies, guaranteed.
Although now I realize that by killing him, we reveal which group Katya is in so there's some risk in that. I think the best time to do it is when he doesn't make it into the mission and one of us does. Will be a bit hard to orchestrate though, so we'll take the shot when we can get it.
Try volunteering next day, Awesome, if you're in the right time zone to camp out the opening. And if someone asks, just say you want to stay in the game for 2 days at least or something to that effect.
I wonder who the cop is? It'll be really bad if it's Mazre or Palmer and they're just checking one by one the people who volunteer. I really hope the role went to a novice. It's a bit overwhelming if all the roles went to strong players (Visualante2 would've been strong, I believe, had he survived Day 1).

Well for one, don't go after squidy. If he turns his eye on you I don't think you can brush it off. Go for an easier target like Seath or Septimus. Although, you need to look more proactive (or just look sufficiently disinterested) so that people don't wonder why you're accusing Septimus despite being less active.
Really, it's not in our favor to go after the strong players in the day. Let the town handle that. We'll kill the strong players at night when we need to.

Ezekel, Mazre, Palmer and Darryl are out of our reach tonight.
This leaves: TheGoddamn, Roy, Arkos, Cooljeanius, Septimus, Burbeting, Cabbeh, Enker, Topo, YNNNY, Seath, Hobo, Squidyj.
Arkos and Cabbeh are both ordinary drones, if their «claim» is true.
TheGoddamn and Cooljeanius are both mainly inactive, easy targets for town due to inactivity (I should post too i guess.)
Killing Squidyj would give information to the town so I would stay away from him.
Roy, Burbeting,YNNNY or Hobo would be the one i would vote for

I figured. I'm sorry to do this Possum, because I think your role slot is cursed with inactivity, but it bolsters my position if I'm on the head of the list once you get killed/replaced/modkilled.
Honestly this game is simultaneously very easy (all doctors killed without lifting a finger, multiple premature power claims) and very hard (replacements, squidyj).

Ourobolus

There is so much to read I think I will skim through the thread. Questions so far:
Why did Razmos leave?
Haly - Drone - Ourobolus, what was the thing there? Crabbeh claimed drone, before it was publicly announced "drone"?
Side note: YNNY was on Mike #Day2
Why did Possum have to go?
Ezekel is Sterling Archer as far as we know? Or is he "just" bulletproof? Who can kill him? QuantumBro? Why did sb. send the kill message?
445
Ourobolus
08-20-2015
02:38 PM ET (US)
I can answer the one - Possum didn't give a reason, he was just inactive for too long.
446
Gorlak
08-20-2015
02:41 PM ET (US)
Powerroles:
Two dead Doctors (roy, visualante)
One dead Analyst (burb)
One dead neutral (El Topo)
Ezekel is confirmed? Do we have a clue about other powerroles?
447
Gorlak
08-20-2015
02:46 PM ET (US)
/m445 Okay, thanks.
@fellow Comrades: What is your impression my predecessors left of me in the game? (I'll look into those posts of course, but I'm curious about your opinions)
How do you rate your own behaviour so far? Anybody getting lynched soon?
448
Mike_Hawk689
08-20-2015
02:46 PM ET (US)
Razmos left because he had other stuff to attend too (I think?)
Cabbeh and Arkos claimed to be drones, before Ouro added the example pm role to the thread, Time stamps confirms them. Ezekel is most probably Archer, since I sent the kill message and nothing happened that night.. Only QB can kill him by «blocking» his role.
Other power roles includes an investigator, watcher and/or tracker.
449
Mike_Hawk689
08-20-2015
02:48 PM ET (US)
Since you are new to the game I think people will lay off of you as long as you participate. I'm on the verge of being pushed into a corner due to my «inactivity»
Haly is probably still getting poked by squidyj.
450
Ourobolus
08-20-2015
02:49 PM ET (US)
I'll admit I fucked that up. Sorry, guys. I meant to add it to the thread earlier. On the plus side, I did confirm "Ordinary Drone" near the beginning of this thread, before the game started.

Mike_Hawk689
08-20-2015
03:00 PM ET (US)
Going on what Haly said previously, Septimus might be an investigator. If he did look up Squidyj during N1 and saw his flipped alignment it would explain his constant attacks on squidyj and also explains why he wants to go on missions (to stay alive)
457
Gorlak
08-21-2015
07:53 AM ET (US)
Regarding Razmos and Possum:
The former got 23 posts, excused himself with work and talked a bit about AC game. He was confronted especially by squidyj. Who himself struck me as very suspicious. Maybe he needs to go, but I have to check Day3 again and see what his moves were.
Possum introduced himself, placed a vote on Darryl and left. 5 posts. Nothing to get caught on. I don't like Darryl, he survived the previous season close to winning. He continues to be aggressive and just scares everybody off. In my book he is very experienced and needs to go rather soon.

I'll be taking a vacation this weekend so I won't have much time to post. Not sure I can get internet.
I'll frame someone today and leave you guys to decide who to kill.
Darryl is a good choice. Or cabbeh or yesno.
462
Gorlak
08-21-2015
10:26 AM ET (US)
Haly, people are onto you. Squidyj points his fingers to you since D1 and then this convo with Kristoffer. Do you think he backed off, because #2099 is bad. I know he took it back, but I think he is waiting for strong evidence against you. We should be careful. This El topo distraction was the best that could happen.
And one thing that should not happen is this: #2097 Direct Connection of three of us in one post. Although I know it makes you look less scummy in the future if I end up dead.
Why should we go for Cabbeh or YNNY?

Yeah, Haly has to send me the FRAME command. Any of you can send the KILL command, though Mike_Hawk has a passive role which allows him to kill without being detected. QB has to send me the BLOCK command.

Haly - Frame - people who are investigated appear kgb -> is this permanent? (probably not)

Mike - when killing not detected, making you the most useful Killer
So with the roles sorted out, I'll just sit around here doing nothing! Boris out.

Who to kill? My favourites are:
squidyj - would cast too much suspicion on us, maybe we can get him lynched
kristoffer - very active, annoys a lot of people, maybe lynch
cabbeh - more or less confirmed townie, is there a way a neutral or power role knew about "drone" before ourobs edit?
YNNY - pro town, very reasonable, gets people on her side, needs to be shut down sometime
Darryl - fuck it, let's kill him. He was on mission 1&2, close to be in 3, will try to go on missions again, now is our chance. It will only cause trouble if we let him alive.

If the other two agree to Darryl, we have our target. I believe Mike should execute since he is undetectable?
We have to talk about possible power roles and neutrals sometime in the future as well. Maybe if QuantumBro blocks the wrong person, he himself gets killed? Don't know what crazy roles Ourob thought of.

I doubt it and what will come will come. I know we have a cop and a watcher/tracker but they've been laying low. Hell, they might even be Mazre and Palmer, who we can't kill. But they also neutered themselves so it doesn't really matter.

490
Gorlak
08-21-2015
04:56 PM ET (US)
Blocking Septimus has nothing to do with lynching him, right? He won't be able to check on people, meaning no useful information for a possible claim ~ makes it easier to get him lynched when the town folk won't believe him.
All assuming he is the cop.

So... we're talking about:
1) A cop
2) A motion detector/follower/watcher/voyeur
It's temporary QB. Basically I either use it on myself to keep suspicion off or use it on someone who I think is being targeted by the cop.
The obvious day one strategy is for one of you to pull a Darryl and then I flip you. It might be too much of a broadcast though.

07-29-2015
01:14 PM ET (US)
I like that idea Haly, basically someone make themselves look really suspicious, then flip their alignment so if they are investigated they look like town. Is that right?
20
haly
07-29-2015
01:23 PM ET (US)
Darryl was really antagonistic in the AC game. He basically alienated everyone and, strangely enough, this freed him from suspicion because everyone thought there was no way Mafia could be that brazen. He was also a traitor that had to be investigated/targeted to be turned and so his antagonism had the double effect of making him more likely to be investigated.
Of course it helped him that the Role Cop in our game was also Mafia aligned.
And yes Razmos, that's what I had in mind. The problem is if the cop is an experienced player like Burbeting, he can probably see through the bluff and you'll stay in his sights. I think it might be better if we just laid low on Day 1 and suss out everyone's personalities first before employing any gambits.
21
Razmos
07-29-2015

I think my strategy is to try and be as much like I was in the last game. I was honest from the very beginning and survived for (nearly) the entire game. There was pretty much never any suspicion that I was Mafia, I was a confirmed town throughout.
That might work in my favour here, because it's the only knowledge of me they have to go off.

In both games I have had town roles, was usually pretty open about what role I had, and have always made accusations against people then ended up not being mafia.
Right now, I'm thinking of claiming to be a sleepwalker if I'm pressed and not make any accusations since, "they hurt the town in the last games, so I'll keep them to myself for now."

At its most basic, what you're trying to do is pretend you're Town, while still working towards Mafia goals. This means you join in discussion, point fingers, reference posts as evidence, "try" to figure out who's Mafia.
As for what our goals are, they include:
1) Making things more confusing for the town. This could be a lot of things, like accusing others (and therefore widening the suspect pool), creating and promoting disagreements, making a lot of noise like useless jokes and side discussion that distract them from actually figuring us out, and sometimes just being silent when there's a lull in activity (silence is the Town killer).
2) Figuring out who are the town Power Roles so we can kill them. One of the best ways is to threaten to lynch someone in order to make them claim their role or just break their spirit so they start behaving erratically (and thus suspiciously).
3) Keeping the heat off of everyone here. Generally, you don't want to overtly say "Well I don't think Haly, Razmos, and QuantumBro are suspicious because of reasons". That just creates a link between all of us the better players can use to suss us out. However, when you do see one of us is at risk, you should throw your vote against someone else, as long as there's an argument against them. This is what I mean by "pretend to be Town". You should be building convincing arguments against Townies even though you know they aren't Mafia so that you can bring them up in discussion and look pro-Town. Similarly, you can defend a Townie from time to time (convincingly) so that if they do get killed, by town or by us, you can go "I told you guys Townie A was a good guy!".
This is a lot to take in, I know, so don't worry about getting it all immediately. This is only my second game of Mafia anyway. As a new player, you have the advantage of getting the benefit of the doubt if you can convince people you're overwhelmed by the complexity of the game. Crab told me that for Mafia, it's important to pick a persona and stick with it, and the best persona to choose is simply yourself. Imagine what you would do if you didn't have access to all our information and you'll get an idea of how you "should' behave.
I believe it's best if you just start by keeping quiet and observing and asking a question from time to time. In fact, I kind of wish I didn't write all this up so you can play the newbie authentically but I figure it's best in the long run if you know what you're getting into.
If you want to read about the theory wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Newbie_Guide has some good articles on it although it's not very structured.

By the way, anyone got some thoughts on the Mission mechanic?
What makes this mechanic a real problem is that by killing someone either on the mission or off it, we make it obvious which group of players has at least one Mafia. Over the course of several of these killings, it'll become extremely obvious who are the common denominators.
I'm thinking we should refrain from killing anyone in the mission in the earlier days. But if I was a Cop, I would volunteer, both to protect myself (killing in the mission is a huge risk for us) and also to investigate people who volunteer, who may be trying to pick him off. So, we give up our chance to kill the Cop in exchange for avoiding the deathtrap of Missions.
My Day 1 play might be to volunteer and then flip my own alignment. I also think we can figure out who's a power role by how often they volunteer. Basically, volunteering is protection.
Oh, I'll also need a role claim in case someone catches me targeting myself.

Ah, I understand how missions work now. I like Haly's idea of him tagging along for the first mission, just gotta make sure you're quick to sign up. As for a role claim, you could try being an armorer.
Mike should definitely carry out all of the kills since he can do them silently.

These are the common informative roles.
Cop learns what a player's alignment is.
Role Cop learns what a player's role is.
Tracker learns who a player targeted, but not what action that player performed.
Watcher learns who targeted a player, but not what actions were performed on them.
Follower learns what action a player performed, but not who that player targeted.
Voyeur learns what actions were performed on a player, but not who targeted them.
Motion Detector learns if any actions were performed by or on a player, but not what they were, or who else was involved.
Because of my ability, we know there's at least a Cop or something that detects alignment. We also know there's no Role Cop because of what our roles are called. Bluffing out of them is almost impossible.
I am confident that there is no Follower, because of the nature of my ability, which makes it a dead giveaway.
That leaves:
Tracker (learn who the target targeted with his action)
Watcher (learn who targeted the target with an action)
Voyeur (learn what action was performed on the target)
Motion Detector (learn if the target performed an action or was targeted)
I wanted to target myself most of the time, but only the Motion Detector will let that slide. I don't think Ouro included a Motion Detector in this game,
The Tracker, especially, will mess with the "fake role" Ron Cadillac, The Used Car Dealer that Ouro provided. Does this mean there's no Tracker? I wouldn't want to risk it. Either way, both the Tracker and the Watcher put me at risk. If they see me targeting myself, I have to claim a protective role like Doctor. I'd like to avoid this if possible because that is one of the worst things you can claim.
A Voyeur is more manageable. It'll look like someone wants to get me out, as long as I don't remain consistent in targeting myself.
So, I need a role that:
1) Targets a single player at a time
2) Has a reason to target themselves (unless I want to give up targeting myself which I don't)
3) Isn't a Doctor
I'm drawing a blank here guys.
Also I want to kill squidyj Night 1 but after his callout of... 3/4th of our team (jesus-fucking-christ) I'm not sure that's advisable. We'll risk getting our names out there unless we can play it off. The players to watch out for are Burbeting and Visualante, who are experienced at this game, and squidyj's playstyle is also very dangerous for us (he forces everyone in his sights to be active).
In my ideal world, burbeting overcommits to his experience and leads a vote on squidyj today because of his drastically more pro-town appearance than everyone else's.
51
haly
08-02-2015
04:58 PM ET (US)
Or, you know. It would actually make sense to target myself repeatedly. Anyone can plainly see that the only role that wants to do so is a Doctor, and no one wants to reveal the Doctor ahead of time.
This will hinge on our Followers/Watchers having a certain level of game awareness, however.
52
Mike_Hawk689

squidyj is gonna be gloating once he finds out his list is almost perfect..
Killing him would be nice, but like Haly said I wouldn't go for him on N1.
Given there are some experience players, should they be the ones to be booted off first for N1?
imo, i would choose an experience player that has been pushing for someone really hard (that's not one of us, to throw the scent away)
53

Haly: use your power on yourself in missions, odds are the tracker/watcher will rather stay out of the missions to get more choices to inspect.
54
haly
08-02-2015
05:08 PM ET (US)
From my perspective, I would join the volunteer group as a Tracker/Watcher because there's less of a chance of being killed...
But I'd flip my alignment on a mission anyway so the end result is the same.

As long as squidyj isn't on any of our asses (the list doesn't count), we can afford to let him live. But it's precisely because of this that we need to kill him ASAP. It's too late to do so when he's bothering any of us like he is now for roy.
Our options Night 1 will be, in no particular order:
1) Killing squidyj: Might implicate us, might implicate roy. moderate risk, high reward
2) Killing one of the experienced players Visualante and burbeting: Doesn't sit well with me, I was looking forward to seeing them work as a learning experience . low risk, high reward
3) Killing cabbeh: "as I was printing out the latest numbers on exotic locations to ‘spy’ on". low risk, moderate reward
4) Killing mazre: This might implicate squidyj on D2. low risk, moderate reward
5) Killing someone middle of the road: We can and should choose randomly if we do so, low risk, low reward
I gotta say, I really don't want to be the one to decide who has to leave the game so soon but it's us or them. And, of course, we assign all kills to Mike_Hawk689 as long as he's alive since he's the best killer.

And that a few of the town have Twilight roles. It's hard to tell what's going on there until one of us volunteers and goes through the process (I will try to do this next time), but, just as an example, I think someone can pull someone else off a mission during this phase.

I want to use either Woodhouse and Ron. The problem is their results are not falsifiable in any way, so I can use the names, but I need to come up with a new effect. This is my current plan:
------------------
Fakeclaim 1: Woodhouse - The Valet
DEAL: <player> to block them for the night, targets yourself if no one else is targeted.
Counters: General Pressure
You are Woodhouse - The Valet.
You are aligned with ISIS.
Addiction is difficult to overcome. It's so easy to just slip into that heroin-induced coma to get away from the stress of life; Sterling's relentless abuse of your good nature certainly doesn't help. And he was such a nice boy once.
At night, you may PM me the command DEAL: <player> to block them from taking any actions. However, if you don't deal to any other player, then you shoot up by yourself, and this will trigger roles that look for activity and targeting in the night.
------------------
This role isn't perfect. Namely, the second self-targeting clause, while flavorful, is bound to set off alarms for our more experienced players (and when it does, one of you should point this out along with whoever first calls me out, likely squidj or burbeting). Once that happens, this is my second claim.
------------------
Fakeclaim 2: Nikolai Jakov, the KGB Defector
COVER: <player>, but dies when covering KGB
Counters: Tracker, Watcher, Heightened Pressure
You are Nikolai Jakov, the KGB Defector.
You are aligned with ISIS (technically).
At one point, you realized that all you wanted was to get close to your (supposed) son, Sterling Archer. Even in your exile, you have a vast information network with which you can use to protect him and his fellow agents, hopefully redeeming yourself in Malory's eyes in the process.
At night, you may PM me the command COVER: <player> to protect them from being assassinated. However, if you cover a KGB agent, they will find where you're hiding and kill you.
------------------
The second one is more complicated but from Mafiascum's wiki, it seems the best way to use this (look up Weak Doctor) is like a pseudo-Cop, using it aggressively to confirm innocent targets. Of course, I will be making a list of people to confirm, seeing as how we already know who's KGB and who isn't. This is basically what franconp did in the AC games, except he actually had Role Cop. I will be choosing weak players when I'm not trying to frame the strong players and I welcome on input on this front. I will also be protecting myself the first two nights just to prevent the possibility of an early exposure by investigation.
If any of you watch Archer, correct me on any flavor mishaps. It's against the rules, technically, to put my "role PM" in the thread verbatim, but that doesn't mean I don't need to get in character.

If you want to make it more legit, we can take a hugeeeeeeeee risk by making you look like a prime suspect for death during a night, but not killing anyone for you to confirm that you blocked yourself. Kind of a big stretch, wouldn't recommend it though haha.

Yeah I know the drill Quantum. I actually see it as good cover because we're on a lot of lists together.
And I thought of that Mike but it might be going in too hard on the fake when we don't even need to do it yet. It's in the back of my mind though. We'd have to be very desperate to employ this gambit, which I consider stage 3 of my bluff.
Stage 1) Claim Blocker
Stage 2) Claim Weak Doctor
Stage 3) "Fabricate" Kill Block

So yeah, squidyj is probably our biggest threat right now, but we should wait a few days before doing anything about it.
Right now I think our best bet is to go after a more experienced person during the night. I'd recommend El Topo or Hobohodo.
haly, you're role writeups are good. I think the second fakeclaim is the better one.
I'd also like to point out the the Ron fakeclaim is a pretty good one. I had that type of role in the very first game and you can get away with having a minimal effect on the game since the only people who will know for sure if someone was switched was the Mafia. It could also work for haly since if you get caught targeting yourself, you can just claim you just switched yourself with someone else.
I'm going to claim a weak cop if I'm found out, any ideas on who to block tonight?

It won't work if the tracker sees I targeted only one person when I'm supposed to have targeted two. Also the switcher got brought up in one of the other games and, understandably, people didn't trust it, because it can be very anti-town even in the hands of someone pro-town because it's difficult to use.

These are the "tells" I've collected so far:
cabbeh
"as I was printing out the latest numbers on exotic locations to ‘spy’ on"
YesNOnoNOYes
"likely because mother doesn't like him"
Zubz
"I mean, maybe they were in the dossier, but who reads those?"
Zubz is experienced and roleplaying, it's a longshot with him. YesNo is less experienced and also roleplaying so she has a higher chance of trying to have fun with a named role, would be pretty much perfect if she was Sterling. Cabbeh is completely new and my argument for blocking him is the same for blocking YesNo.

I also might have come up with a way to squidyj look very suspicious, but it's risky as all hell. We would basically have to convince everyone that there is a mastermind in the game.

With a mastermind, none of the mafia members would know who each other are. Squidy immediately asked people to say who they thought mafia members were and is adamant that there are at least 5 members in the mafia. We could play off both of those and raise some doubt.
I'd also think people would be more likely to believe that there would be a mastermind since it fits a spy themed game, and anything that gets town more confused is always good for us.

My bluff will be that the voting for volunteering scheme is basically crowdsourcing noise generation, and, to be honest, I'm not wrong. Hobo feels this way, and so does Burbeting. Roy is in squidy's good graces but this can be turned around if we give him roy's scent. Plus, the fact that Ouro revealed we had our forums open 2 days in advance for preplanning means the people who have more to say about the missions early on had more time to digest it and plan for it. I'm afraid of laying it on too thick though, I'm not a great actor. I've been editing and trimming down all of my posts before throwing them out entirely.
Oh right, I'd just like to say hi to all the people we killed who'll read this once this forum opens and you get to see what we were up to. No hard feelings! Except for you, squidyj, fuck you!

This Mastermind role is a bit hard to digest. I assume that one of the rules of the Masterminded Mafia chat is that no one can publicly reveal their names? Otherwise I don't see the point. It seems like the strength of the role comes from making sure the Mafia don't overthink who their partners are and I don't know why squidy, as a mastermind, would try to circumvent this.
Wait, is the mastermind anti-Mafia? If so then there's no way squidy would broadcast it like the way you suggest.

Depending on how things shake out by the end of Day 1, we might really be able to lynch Squidyj and block one of the suspected power roles. This is the best outcome for us. We just need for there to be enough distance between the HotGate posts and the end of Day 4 so that when people are wondering why squidyj was killed (other than the obvious fact that he is a very strong player), they will look at all the discussion, and not the initial calls, which were haphazard anyway.
Ways this could go wrong:
1) He's the Doctor, but we just try again on the follow day with blocking.
2) He's Bulletproof, I'll need to implicate him with my ability while you guys focus on other targets.
3) He's a Commuter, and we either waste another night trying again or are forced to leave him there.
The chances of any of these three happening are very low. It's just something to be prepared for.

No, I'm not confused. I just need to make sure squidyj doesn't get to manipulate it to make himself invincible.

He's sleeping. He goes dark at approximately 4-6PM EST (9-11PM for his England time).
I don't know how I'm going to play this. I wanted to make a deflection post but I don't know whether or not to defend Razmos. If I don't address Razmos, squidyj will just ask why I'm ignoring the problem of Razmos seeing as how we were in the same game together. If I do, then squidyj gets a link and if Razmos gets lynched I'm next, since Seath probably triggers no alarms for him whatsoever. My defense would simply be that Razmos' behavior is consistent with what I know of him, and that I cannot completely separate what I learned last game from this game.
Right now I'm just going to go dark and hope it peters out, as the thread is already going into a lull. I'm glad squidyj is insistent on the voting shit, because we'll get a few more days worth of nonsense out of that, especially if he and Palmer goes head to head.

If Squidyj keeps on like this, it might actually be a good thing.
If nobody else joins him in lynching me, he might eventually give up on it. But at least then, I've been accused, defended myself, and it gives no reason for anyone to find me suspicious with that out in the open, so they are unlikely to do it again.
It's good to get it out of the way so quickly because it might buy me some time.

"To be honest, I haven't really had much time to look over this thread and actively participate to due constraints that I have in life. Even if I didn't participate, I feel that most of the conversation is going around how we pick the volunteers for the mission. So here's my take in the missions. As this give a small twist, I kinda like it since it resembles Avalon, but also since you get better chances at finding the KGB. For example, if two or more mafia are in the missions, at least one will unvolunteer to lower the chances of being read/caught by any power role.
Going to my first assumptions in my few posts, I still believe one mafia/KGB is one of the first four. Why? Again, due to the fact that Ouro gave them a couple of days to strategize. I believe they probably had more insight on these missions that we currently due. They probably understood the whole concept way before us and where able to stagger their volunteering to make sure to be in every mission they can to keep an eye on everyone. I'm sure most people remember that the gossip chats in AC had many role claims. (Though I don't know if they were completely true because I didnt read the side chats.)
Keeping in mind that missions were understood by mafia/KGB, they knew who to volunteer and when. Meaning that any people who are asking for a complete change of the volunteering process are good in my book, since this flushes the strategy the mafia/KGB probably set up before Malory quickly fired the trigger to the start of this game.
I do find it pretty suspicious that Mazre was insanely fast to volunteer. Did he get a notice before all of us in their private chat? Or was he just lucky with the timing?"

I'm just here to push Squidyj out of it in the event we do get a Mazre/Tiger kill or one of them devolunteers at the last moment.
Also I think there's a neutral party. Yesno is right, we're kind of outnumbered at 4. Star Wars had 5/23 with 2 neutrals. Animal Crossing had 4.5/22 (ultron and franconp was basically one person even if they behaved as two). Those ranges are between 20-25% which is reasonable for online mafia. Us? 4/23, which is almost 1/6th, and we don't even have a flipper like Darryl, nor particularly strong roles.

It's Commuter or Sleepwalker that would be really bad, but we'd have to be really paranoid to think squidy, of all people, gets the best defensive skill of all time in a game with built in defenses (volunteering) for which he actually did volunteer.

Keep this in mind when you're voting. A choice other than Mazre or GreatLord is ideal (although don't focus fire someone to bring them ahead of GreatLord because it's still in our favor if I'm on that mission).

If he moves into volunteer, he's basically signing a death wish. No one is going to allow him to go on a mission.
Killing him also puts a target on your back Haly.

I feel like squidy is just a regular drone, with nothing to lose, so he's that talkative. If he gets investigated he doesn`t really care since it backs him up. After what just happened with him pushing for visualante, I'm in for the framing of squidy. If I were to investigated someone it has to be squidy.

Hobohodo

haly
08-07-2015
12:18 PM ET (US)
I encourage everyone to compile their own list before looking at mine to approach the problem with fresh eyes. Highlight to see.
roy: This is a decent choice, he's firmly middle of the pack which suggests Power Role. Problem is squidy has an issue with me reading scum on him and he'll throw that in my face if we kill roy. Also he voted Mike
Burbeting: Also a good choice but I'm reluctant, one of the reasons I was excited about this game was watching someone experienced at work, but I didn't expect to be Mafia, also he had some shit to say about me along with squidy
cabbeh: I think he caught some flak day 1? But he also has a mild connection to Mike_Hawk
YesNo: Possible, she made it to the end of SW because, I think, her roleplaying and enthusiasm seems so genuine and harmless (although this might not work with squid and darryl around), no connection to us
Hobohodo: Also a good candidate, he's been on the down low.
If I had to rank them in order of least likely to be lynched by town (we should kill at the top)
Burbeting
Hobohodo
YesNo
Roytheone
Cabbeh
And in terms of increasing danger to us if they're killed (we should kill at the top)
Hobohodo
YesNo
Cabbeh
Roytheone
Burbeting
So... yeah. Either Hobo or YesNo.

After running through the thread once more, I have to agree that roy and burbeting would be bad lynch targets at this point in time.
El topo and cabbeh have given off mixed vibes, so I would let them stick around for a few more days.
So that leaves Hobo, YesNo, and Ezekel. Hobo and YesNo have both been pretty off with their guesses for KGB, so I don't think it's that big of a risk to keep them around.
So, I'd have to go with Ezekel since he did say he was going to post a report on everyone once the next day came and I think it's in our best interest to stop that from happening. Plus it points the finger at cooljeanius, since the two were at each others necks during the day. So that's who I'm going with.
Trying to decide between el topo and squidyj for who to block right now.
223
haly
08-07-2015
08:43 PM ET (US)
I agree with your reasoning for Ezekel, but I can see it backfiring in one way: Ezekel had a non-spectacular day 1. The only ones who are actually familiar with his posting style in the AC thread are AC players. Ironically, the AC players are in the best position to recognize that.
It would be a bit of stretch to claim KGB killed Ezekel based on reputation rather than KGB having a few AC players themselves. It's possible to turn this onto the other AC players, but squidy will never fall for it, because me and Razmos are his two main AC scum-reads.
Ultimately, this comes down to squidy, once again. Maybe I'm overestimating him, but I'm too paranoid to let it go.

TheGoddamn: Believes mafia is one of the first people to volunteer. Mainly inactive due to time zone. Post 719 is all about how he is going to vote soon with no other contribution. Post 729, he gives slack to new players such as Arkos and Tiger and believe Palmer is townie, votes for Mazre based on volunteering first. Mainly fluffing posts, keeps bringing up timezone as reason for low posts. Suspicious about Haly, squidyj, seath and QB because of their votes against cooljeanius and Visualnte. Voted for Tiger, because other people were pushing for other people? (post 1041) Sounds anti-town since he's trying to scatter votes = more chances of tie. No other concrete reasoning on voting for Tiger. Threat level is low, although suspicious about 2 of us, doesn't have any outstanding evidence on us. More likely to be suspicious about squidyj after the lynch.
roytheone: First posts are to understand the missions, following by suggesting a democratic way for volunteers, trying to stop KGB from exploiting the missions. Lists Haly, Mazre, Palmer, Seath and Arkos for early volunteering and KGB needs to have someone in the missions to kill or track night chat.
Votes for me for inactivity. Explains that although he is suspicious of Palmer, he doesn't want to vote because of the fact that experience players can give more to the town on the long run with more information from possible power roles. Haly is a low-priority on his list. Top 3: Seath for fluffing too much, Septimus prime for asking too many questions and me for inactivity and disagreeing with most my posts. Voted for Seath, said he is ok with his vote and will vote for Tiger if there's a tie. Ends up voting for Visualante2. (Inconsistency)
Arkos: Post #272, highly suggests he has a role? ability to kill someone? Neutral or town? But he says he's a drone. Choking machine in the lab (Cheryl?) Goes to town against squidyj. Post 1100 refers to the mission cooler, I think it refers to an episode of archer where they were fighting off crocs or aligators? Most likely an Archer line in that episode. He could be Archer, with power of killing 1 player per night or per game as the main character.

/m223 But that backfire is also there if we kill squidy since he was pretty loud at accusing . Right now, he's just the guy who got the doctor lynched. If we kill him, then he's proved to be a town role and people might look into his accusations a bit more. Even if squidy tries going after you and razmos tomorrow, he's going to have a hard time getting people to take him seriously. So, I'll stick with my vote on Ezekel.

Depends... But we're not going to try to kill him for a while I think. Is he's pure bulletproof (it's a passive, so it can't be blocked) and we're stuck with him until he's lynched.
I think he might be an odd commuter though. He didn't bother volunteering day 1 because he knew he was safe, but this time he snap volunteered. If he thought he dodged a kill, then that would explain it.
Ouro's pilfering a lot from the AC game though. Shame on you, Ouro.

Also Ezekial said this:
"Due to only being able to be killed by one type of KGB. I will volunteer for every mission every day phase."
But the honeypot is not KGB right?
Perhaps his ability is a bog standard protection from a kill, and he's bigging it up so it doesn't get tried again.

I think if QB gives us the language of his role we'll be able to tell.
For example, mine is FRAME. His could be SEDUCE or HONEYPOT, which would make sense.

No. We don't need to kill every town. We just need 50:50 ratio to win the game. It doesn't matter if Ezekel makes it to the end as long as his guesses aren't correct. The worst part is that we wasted a night but considering they also killed a doctor it balances out. And, now that he's claimed (prematurely), we won't waste any more kills on him. The next time we can get a hold of him outside of the mission he dies, guaranteed.
Although now I realize that by killing him, we reveal which group Katya is in so there's some risk in that. I think the best time to do it is when he doesn't make it into the mission and one of us does. Will be a bit hard to orchestrate though, so we'll take the shot when we can get it.
Try volunteering next day, Awesome, if you're in the right time zone to camp out the opening. And if someone asks, just say you want to stay in the game for 2 days at least or something to that effect.
I wonder who the cop is? It'll be really bad if it's Mazre or Palmer and they're just checking one by one the people who volunteer. I really hope the role went to a novice. It's a bit overwhelming if all the roles went to strong players (Visualante2 would've been strong, I believe, had he survived Day 1).

Well for one, don't go after squidy. If he turns his eye on you I don't think you can brush it off. Go for an easier target like Seath or Septimus. Although, you need to look more proactive (or just look sufficiently disinterested) so that people don't wonder why you're accusing Septimus despite being less active.
Really, it's not in our favor to go after the strong players in the day. Let the town handle that. We'll kill the strong players at night when we need to.

Ezekel, Mazre, Palmer and Darryl are out of our reach tonight.
This leaves: TheGoddamn, Roy, Arkos, Cooljeanius, Septimus, Burbeting, Cabbeh, Enker, Topo, YNNNY, Seath, Hobo, Squidyj.
Arkos and Cabbeh are both ordinary drones, if their «claim» is true.
TheGoddamn and Cooljeanius are both mainly inactive, easy targets for town due to inactivity (I should post too i guess.)
Killing Squidyj would give information to the town so I would stay away from him.
Roy, Burbeting,YNNNY or Hobo would be the one i would vote for

I figured. I'm sorry to do this Possum, because I think your role slot is cursed with inactivity, but it bolsters my position if I'm on the head of the list once you get killed/replaced/modkilled.
Honestly this game is simultaneously very easy (all doctors killed without lifting a finger, multiple premature power claims) and very hard (replacements, squidyj).

Ourobolus

There is so much to read I think I will skim through the thread. Questions so far:
Why did Razmos leave?
Haly - Drone - Ourobolus, what was the thing there? Crabbeh claimed drone, before it was publicly announced "drone"?
Side note: YNNY was on Mike #Day2
Why did Possum have to go?
Ezekel is Sterling Archer as far as we know? Or is he "just" bulletproof? Who can kill him? QuantumBro? Why did sb. send the kill message?
445
Ourobolus
08-20-2015
02:38 PM ET (US)
I can answer the one - Possum didn't give a reason, he was just inactive for too long.
446
Gorlak
08-20-2015
02:41 PM ET (US)
Powerroles:
Two dead Doctors (roy, visualante)
One dead Analyst (burb)
One dead neutral (El Topo)
Ezekel is confirmed? Do we have a clue about other powerroles?
447
Gorlak
08-20-2015
02:46 PM ET (US)
/m445 Okay, thanks.
@fellow Comrades: What is your impression my predecessors left of me in the game? (I'll look into those posts of course, but I'm curious about your opinions)
How do you rate your own behaviour so far? Anybody getting lynched soon?
448
Mike_Hawk689
08-20-2015
02:46 PM ET (US)
Razmos left because he had other stuff to attend too (I think?)
Cabbeh and Arkos claimed to be drones, before Ouro added the example pm role to the thread, Time stamps confirms them. Ezekel is most probably Archer, since I sent the kill message and nothing happened that night.. Only QB can kill him by «blocking» his role.
Other power roles includes an investigator, watcher and/or tracker.
449
Mike_Hawk689
08-20-2015
02:48 PM ET (US)
Since you are new to the game I think people will lay off of you as long as you participate. I'm on the verge of being pushed into a corner due to my «inactivity»
Haly is probably still getting poked by squidyj.
450
Ourobolus
08-20-2015
02:49 PM ET (US)
I'll admit I fucked that up. Sorry, guys. I meant to add it to the thread earlier. On the plus side, I did confirm "Ordinary Drone" near the beginning of this thread, before the game started.

Mike_Hawk689
08-20-2015
03:00 PM ET (US)
Going on what Haly said previously, Septimus might be an investigator. If he did look up Squidyj during N1 and saw his flipped alignment it would explain his constant attacks on squidyj and also explains why he wants to go on missions (to stay alive)
457
Gorlak
08-21-2015
07:53 AM ET (US)
Regarding Razmos and Possum:
The former got 23 posts, excused himself with work and talked a bit about AC game. He was confronted especially by squidyj. Who himself struck me as very suspicious. Maybe he needs to go, but I have to check Day3 again and see what his moves were.
Possum introduced himself, placed a vote on Darryl and left. 5 posts. Nothing to get caught on. I don't like Darryl, he survived the previous season close to winning. He continues to be aggressive and just scares everybody off. In my book he is very experienced and needs to go rather soon.

Darryl is a good choice. Or cabbeh or yesno.
462
Gorlak
08-21-2015
10:26 AM ET (US)
Haly, people are onto you. Squidyj points his fingers to you since D1 and then this convo with Kristoffer. Do you think he backed off, because #2099 is bad. I know he took it back, but I think he is waiting for strong evidence against you. We should be careful. This El topo distraction was the best that could happen.
And one thing that should not happen is this: #2097 Direct Connection of three of us in one post. Although I know it makes you look less scummy in the future if I end up dead.
Why should we go for Cabbeh or YNNY?

Yeah, Haly has to send me the FRAME command. Any of you can send the KILL command, though Mike_Hawk has a passive role which allows him to kill without being detected. QB has to send me the BLOCK command.

Haly - Frame - people who are investigated appear kgb -> is this permanent? (probably not)

Who to kill? My favourites are:
squidyj - would cast too much suspicion on us, maybe we can get him lynched
kristoffer - very active, annoys a lot of people, maybe lynch
cabbeh - more or less confirmed townie, is there a way a neutral or power role knew about "drone" before ourobs edit?
YNNY - pro town, very reasonable, gets people on her side, needs to be shut down sometime
Darryl - fuck it, let's kill him. He was on mission 1&2, close to be in 3, will try to go on missions again, now is our chance. It will only cause trouble if we let him alive.

If the other two agree to Darryl, we have our target. I believe Mike should execute since he is undetectable?
We have to talk about possible power roles and neutrals sometime in the future as well. Maybe if QuantumBro blocks the wrong person, he himself gets killed? Don't know what crazy roles Ourob thought of.

I doubt it and what will come will come. I know we have a cop and a watcher/tracker but they've been laying low. Hell, they might even be Mazre and Palmer, who we can't kill. But they also neutered themselves so it doesn't really matter.

490
Gorlak
08-21-2015
04:56 PM ET (US)
Blocking Septimus has nothing to do with lynching him, right? He won't be able to check on people, meaning no useful information for a possible claim ~ makes it easier to get him lynched when the town folk won't believe him.
All assuming he is the cop.
