I was expecting lady gaga to be a town 1-shot bp. Her bacon suit would have blocked bullets.

I'm happy we have Kanye West though. The 'im a let you finish BUT' jokes are too easy not to pass up.
although we have a weird skill set of powers. Scum Tracker? What does 'getting called out by the mod' even mean.

I think we can create a fake role for Kanye West that can sound believable.

Probably, I don't doubt that. I think it will depend on how that mod call-out works/is worded.
Just thinking ahead, really. If getting called out publicly by a mod is the same every time and people put two-and-two together that getting called out = getting Roleblocked then that might be seen as being Town. So maaaybe further down the line we roleblock one of our own, they get 'called out' in the thread and get that beautiful Town Cred. Because why would Scum ever Roleblock one of their own?

If town figures out getting called out means roleblocked, easiest way to get town cred to us is to roleblock me, since I don't have any fabulous powers anyway. But I'm not so sure they will be able to do the math.
Cabot, can we get an explanation just what "getting called out" means.

Anyway! Here are my general rules for scum:
1. Don't panic, even if people are suspicious of you, or even vote for you. Town players have no real way of knowing who are scum and who are town, so they end up being suspicious of literally everyone at some point. Getting all antsy and freaked out when that happens to you is easy to avoid.
2. Don't be scared of being suspicious of your scum teammates and even voting for them in the game thread. I'm not saying to try and lead lynches of others, but if you never vote for your teammate, that will look odd too.
3. Contribute in the thread. Act as if you were a member of town, bring out original thought in terms of hunting scum, be a helpful hand for the town. While obviously misleading them when at it.
4. Don't panic.

If town figures out getting called out means roleblocked, easiest way to get town cred to us is to roleblock me, since I don't have any fabulous powers anyway. But I'm not so sure they will be able to do the math.Cabot, can we get an explanation just what "getting called out" means. Town's sudden moments of clarity are always going to be random but I think they can figure it out. Getting called out by a mod will bring attention to that person and everyone will want to what what it means/who caused it/what will happen because of it/etc. . If they are notified they are roleblocked then they can easily put the pieces together but I think if we ever hit a PR they might be able to figure it out there even if they aren't informed. Also with a Scum Tracker I'm guessing Town is going to have a lot of movement at Night? Might be good, might be bad, we'll see. :x Oh God I didn't want to be scum for my first game, this is too much pressure already :/ also also, welcome Evilisk! If you have any questions/comments/bad things you want to say about the mod feel free to post them. I know you're new to this community but have you ever played forum mafia before? c: I have not played any Mafia before (though I've watched others play Mafia) Don't worry too much about it! I won't lie, Scum can be very stressful to play as at times but we've had many new players come in and had their first games on the Scum Team and they did just fine. It can be a big challenge but that's why we're a team, to help each other out and give advice and such. Unfortunately, my advice is to 'play like your Town-self' but seeing as you haven't played a game yet that won't be much help to you right now. Burb gives some great advice and I know some past games Scum Teams had great advice to their new players as well if you would like me to track some of those down for you. c: Overall, try not to worry too much about it! We're just here to have fun, lie a lot, and murder some Townies. <3

good luck you fabulous and naughty creatures!
evilisk is australian i think, so managing timezone will be key for smooth communication~
hope you all enjoy the game and remember, if things gets too overwhelming, remember that it is only a game! step away from the keyboard from time to time is a-okay! and if there are any questions, GM and mod team are always around, too :D

But I'm not so sure they will be able to do the math. Cabot, can we get an explanation just what "getting called out" means. No, you may not. It'll probably just be a highlight message with the player named and 'has been called out' So everyone will be as clueless as you were just there.

QuantumBro, where are you?

Hi Evilisk! Don't panic, even though this is your first time playing. It'll be a trial by fire, but we'll help you out. If you play as relaxed and not stressing out about it, you'll do great!
---
Okay so, we have been given fake role names. I'd argue each of us should pick one they like to use just in case we need to. I'd like to use Lady Gaga, but Björk is fine for me as well.

Like yn said, I'm in Australia so yeah communication might be a bit difficult at certain times
I should mention it now but because of some recent weird Internet issues, I don't get any access after 10PM AEST (and it doesn't go back up until 7AM the next day). Luckily my studies finished about a week ago so I'm basically free most of the day on weekdays. But yeah, if something happens between 10PM - 7AM AEST, I don't think I'll be able to contribute much to the thread, or would even be able to defend myself during that time if I got accused, which might be a problem later down the line. (I really hope I can get this thing fixed :/)
On fake role names: I'll take whatever's left, I don't know any of these singers all that much anyway

I'm going to light the QB signal and hopefully he will appear. We need our final member to complete our perfect band!
Speaking of time zones it really shouldn't be too much of an issue given how long the Day/Night phases will be. We may not be able to talk to each other in real time as much as I would like to but that shouldn't be a big problem. I think starting to discuss Night Actions towards the end of Day Phases would make figuring everything out easier and make working it out a lot smoother, especially considering we have a lot of different powers in our possession. However we really only need to start worrying about that when the game starts, but it's some food for thought.
I was actually kind of partial to Lady Gaga myself but I'm fine with Elton John, Tiny Dancer is a fantastic song. Full fake-claims might be a little difficult to make since we really don't know what we're up against quite yet and it looks like PRs don't always equate to their character. Like Kanye West being a 'roleblocker' makes sense, but Joan Jett being a Poisoner doesn't unless I'm missing something. But I think getting a name now is a good idea just so we don't somehow mix them up later.
Also, as a general count, how are you guys on gambits? More of a conservative scum player or a 'i'm going to claim town cop' level of gambler? If we wanted to do something ~*~wild and dangerous~*~ now would be the time to plan since we have a bit before the game starts.

For the record I'm more of a conservative scum player if Pokemon Mafia was any indication. I'm not against gambits if they make sense or are absolutely necessary ( i.e. in the case of Blarg's cipher from Pokemon ) but I wanted to leave the floor open to you guys if that's what we wanted to do.

I saw QB on the Gaming side of Gaf the other day. I think he is ignoring us. ;__; ...and I'll take that as a no on the gambit thing. BEST DOPPEL BEST BEAR BEST FELLOW AUSTRALIAN (SPIDER) BEST BRO good luck y'all <3 we have been blessed by the mafia spider! we have good luck on our side now. :3 Sawneeks, you take Lady Gaga. I made lady gaga into a role in pokemon, so people might be confused if I claimed it. I can be Björk. Although I did put that lady gaga gif already... hmm. --- In the case there is a name cop, we have to prepare claims for our real names too. The only people who were in Pokemon were Bronx and I so I think you'll be okay if you went and claimed Gaga. Maybe even make it an off-hand joke that you got her after making her a role or something? BUT if you think people might find that too coincidental I'm fine with taking gaga as well. I'll leave that one up to you. c: A Name Cop might makes things...tough. Kanye/Miley/Adam can be passed off as Pop artists in the right light but if I am ever seen by the Name Cop it's going to be a bit tougher to push a Rock/Punk artist that way. Total gut feeling, but Town Watcher > Tracker. Since we already have the Tracker part covered and Scum having movement knowledge at Night without Town having the same chance at info seems odd. o:

If we wanted to do something ~*~wild and dangerous~*~ now would be the time to plan since we have a bit before the game starts. I don't really know what kind of player I am yet I'll go with whatever you guys come up with. Although I have a question about my power. Do you guys think it would be good to say stagger the use of my power early on in the game? (ie use it infrequently, maybe every other day) I don't know how useful that would be to us necessarily, but idk I just like the idea of misleading the other players (and adding to the early game confusion) Evilisk, I think you should tell the game thread about your Internet/time zone situation, so people won't call you out if you don't post at all during that time. Yeah, considering how vote happy people seem to be on Day 1, I should probably do that
