A quick reminder, especially verelios. I hope I don't start to sound patronizing, tell me if I do.

Anything written in this thread is something we don't know when it comes to gameplay. We don't know the title of the scum chat thread. We don't know the faction group of scum. We don't know things given to us by mod, like the safe names - we don't support our team members by saying we know that's a character in the game. If a random player claimed one of our safe names, we might not even argue until we discuss it. It's easy to slip up.

In my first game, I decided I would post a song lyric (related to the Disney theme of the game) in every post during day one. The reason was mostly because I thought it was funny, but it turned out to have a side benefit. I couldn't post very fast at all. Having to choose and integrate a lyric made me think harder about what I was saying. If you feel like you might start to panic under pressure, you could make up something like that as a way to help with self control.

As a noob to Mafia, ver, people will expect you to be panicky if challenged, and it's ok to look panicked. You can also get away with lower quality posts for probably two day phases, and then people will expect a step up in quality. I liked your interactions with haly where you two were discussing semantics, and what exactly you meant by various words. It's actually good to disagree a little.

You think Moon Presence would be a Detective? Seems pretty unlikely. Flavor-wise MP's anti-Town (and anti-Us). Plus it seems kinda risky to give Scum the ability to find the town's cop.

Moon Presence is almost certainly neutral IMO. I'm guessing Serial Killer.

What sort of game runner would make a game with half a dozen Mafia groups, and no actual town? Think there are any?

Haha, a game with three Mafia groups vying to kill each other would be interesting, since at that point it's all about who deflects suspicion best.

I think Neverforever was just refuting because the day was quiet and the accusation honestly wasn't strong at all.

Prior to the game beginning, (but around the time role PMs actually went out), Kristoffer posted that weird drunk looking post and signed his name as Iosefka.

I can be around at the end of the day phase. How about you guys?

We should probably make lists of who we don't really want lynched, who we want out pdq, and the rest fall into don't care list.

Getting the second tour card takes away half the reason I thought camjo could be our partner. I'm left with the joke posts at the beginning.

I mean, if we think someone may be our lost partner, we absolutely don't want them to be lynched. We want to recruit them in the night.

So I've backed off of camjo being it, but there's still some doubt.

I want palmer and kristoffer to die, personally. And squidy. But I don't think I could get a bandwagon going on squidy, the other two seem to have enough suspicion to be lynchable.

We should NOT all jump on the same vote. We need to be very careful what pattern we leave. So let's not change our votes without discussion. We'll regroup in the last hour and plan a last minute strategy.

Seath also usued a Moonstruck gif. I don't know if he always breadcrumbs his roles, but he might be worth checking for moon ness.

Regarding fake claims, I'm not convinced we should assign them upfront. Patches the Spider is a very risky "safe" name. First, it has a name in it, while all the other role names appear to be just titles (so it might be better to claim it as "The Trustworthy Spider"). Second, in the games Patches is a huge douchebag. He's the only character that's been in every Soulsborne (normally he's not a spider), and in every one he lures you into a trap. So claiming his name and trying to convince people it's a Town role seems unlikely to hold up.

Sickroom Doctor is also pretty sketchy: in the games she claims that anyone you send to her will be taken care of, but she actually does horrible experiments on them all in an attempt to become mother of an Old One child. She does give you buff potions for sending her victims, though.

Woman of Pleasure is pretty safe. She's another possible mother to the Old One child, but for her it's involuntary. Plus she doesn't go around killing innocent people. And she does give out buff potions, too. So yeah, she's frankly one of the least sketchy characters in Bloodborne.

Anyway, my point is it seems like if one of us comes under fire and needs to claim, The Woman of Pleasure is the only truly safe choice. So it seems to me like we'd be better off waiting until someone's in trouble and letting that person claim her rather than assigning names now and later finding out that weemad needs an out and he's been breadcrumbing a very non-Towny role the whole time.

In other news, the attention towards me appears to have died down for now. I've got a couple comments I'm able to make, but I'm kinda hesitant to post it in fear of coming back under the spotlight. But anyway, if I feel scrutinized again, one thing I intend to do is change my vote. I've gotten some complaints about my vote not being on No Lynch or Seath, so I might do that. Or if I see an opening to justify voting for someone else I might do that (although I fear voting for someone else in the hot seat looks too defensive). Any advice on that?

I should be around tomorrow for end of day, but I feel like it looks pretty sketchy to make a last minute vote, especially when you're a lead candidate (which I'm not anymore, but that can quickly change). Although in that case maybe I should post and vote tonight, so that if it does raise suspicions there's time for people to move on to the next shiny object before day's end...

Other coasters: roy, kalor, zeke, pandas and magnumboy

It's possible. But it could also be bait. I'm not entirely sure.

I was going to suggest we Hunt Kris to try to recruit him, since if he's not our partner he's an easy lynch at the moment. Killing Palmer tonight sounds good: hopefully it'll take some heat off me if one of my defenders gets offed.

...man, that sounds cold. Sorry P.

At this time, Freakinchair is at the tipping point of being lynched. Trying to get Palmer up instead might seem like we're redirecting attention from chair, which could be bad going into day 2. As of now, there's 2 hours left, so I want to see how the last hour goes.
