Sample Role PM:

Welcome to Forum Mafia 17, Matt.

Your role is Vanilla Townie, sided with the town.

Your only power in this game is your voice and your vote. Good luck.

You win when all threats to the town are eliminated.

Scumhunt your heart this game out if you're town or towntell like none other if you're not, because the player that Jeff and I feel plays the best game will receive a 20 token prize!!!

I'm up for lynching a lurker or a person that no one has reads on just for the sake of getting a night and seeing if any night actions can help us. Right now the game's pretty stagnant. I can't see much more being said that will help generate reads. itg / ThirdAug / Dorzel would be my suggestions. Maybe imsohappy or lonerism could be on that list but I'd prefer the first three.

I wasn't upset it was more of me saying "you shouldn't base your townread on something that can be faked so much and my push on yoyo was very much real and my first legit read of the whole game I don't understand the whole "place your vote thing" if you could tell me why mafia does that or why it's a thing i'd love to know more


it means that i don't think your read was entirely legitimate. i mean you said he's mafia for "filler" at the start of day one


Unvote

I guess I can see where you're coming from on this I think I just wanted to have a strong read out of the gate and nick picked a few lines and added on a dumb reason or so I still do scumread Yoyo but I guess some of my points were pretty stupid because I'd have to scum read a lot more people then just him for it to be true

We're not lynching Arcbell, even if he is mafia we should lynch one of his partners that has posted less.

Sonia if you were going to tunnel me regardless of whether or not I could explain all of my lines why did you bother quoting them all?

Mori's lines looked really scummy to me but I don't really know why.

Is there any chance that we will lynch Shrub today, considering her pr claim?


I'm not making everyone vote you nor am I voting you myself I still have you marked as scum but I am in no way tunneling you I quoted all your lines and showed you what filler meant you said you had a good reason for all of them when I saw maybe 2 okay reasons not content you gave me is not enough to take off my sr on you

Arcbell says

Also Ian what do you think of Mori? I strongly scumread her for her opening because it just seems like something she'd do as scum: fly in and read people and give good reads on little subtle things that normally you wouldn't read into but since she knows who's mafia she's able to see the writing on the wall.

I don't expect anyone else to follow along with my read here though because I know it's a feelsy one. If anyone is gonna I'd say it'd be you.

So whaddaya think?


i'd be willing to lynch almost anyone day one since this is a 17 player game but i don't think that most of what mori said is alignment indicative. the one read she gave which seemed like a stretch was on minecraft fangirl ftw. mori said that she couldn't see her saying "i agree but gerry is gerry" as mafia. i sort of see that like i see sonia's read on yoyo except sonia put a lot more weight on that read than mori put on hers

oh, we're not lynching shrub. that actually makes more sense when i think about it bc if we lynch him and he actually was a pr, we're kinda screwed.

unvote shrub

I actually really like town's chances so far. As long as we don't lynch the cop day 1.

I have multiple people pegged as town, some of which I can work with. No definite scum-reads yet but a good foundation for a PoE circle to rip through the late game.

Like I would genuinely like to be told if my read is nonsense or not.

We gotta play for the long game Ian, not just try to lynch mafia on day one. Gotta respect the night actions.

groundhogday says

non-visiting pr is the type that tends to not die in the night, right?


I told him to claim his role or claim as non-visiting-pr/protective role hybrid claim. He chose that. I think it's likely he's mafia but there will be a role that CCs him eventually if he's maf. The instant protective role dies he is forced to hardclaim.

Shrub, I hope you realize that if I were scum I'd have no reason not to throttle you as I'm the only one really sticking to the argument of keeping you alive because you're claimed PR.

Well the reason is that he's a claimed non visiting PR (or protective role) and lynching him on d1 is objectively a bad idea. If he's mafia he's weakened his long term position in exchange for a pass on day 1.

Shrub says

I would really appreciate if someone trusted me and lynched Arcbell.


I'm finding it very difficult to resist the urge to omgus you. You're death tunneling me when I'm literally town and haven't given a reason beyond "not playing to town's win con" which I am and find rather insulting.

Arcbell, imsohappy

how do you people think about the sonia lynch?




Sonia is one of those people who has content but I haven't gotten around to reading yet. Stand by..

imsohappy's reads are at least somewhat in alignment with mine


imsohappy says

tbh, i can't really read Sonia as town or scum yet, so i'm a little confused at all the votes on her. Dorzel probably flipped scum but idk since I misread him a lot. I've got goundhogday and izzy as pretty solid town so i think i'm good right now.

I still don't know who to lynch, so i'm not voting anyone for now.


I could have typed this myself

groundhogday says

i keep going back and forth on minecraft fangirl ftw. i think that her going on and on about how it's daystart means that she probably has a role but wasn't able to make an action last night. but she already claimed blue. that leaves mafia pr, but she seems sort of towny otherwise


She could be fake claiming blue, you never know.

It seems all ThirdAug is gonna do this game is sit there all grumpy and tell me my posts are bad, so we might as well get him out of the way considering he hasn't towntold.
Arcbell

Shrub claims either a doc/bg or a role that does something when you try to kill it. i.e. a bulletproof or a bomb or an oracle.

If the protective role dies, Shrub will need to hardclaim, at which point he'll likely be CC'd if he's mafia, see.

izzy says

I'm reading town on Sonia, but I disagree with her about lynching Arcbell. I'm still keeping my vote on Shrub because it makes sense to me right now. The only solid read I have right now is minecraft being town, which everyone else and their mother has already figured out. Otherwise, I think Arcbell is probably town as well but I suppose I could be persuaded otherwise. Dorzel rubbed me the wrong way a bit earlier, but I won't say anything for certain about that yet.


Whether or not Shrub is mafia we're not lynching him today because he's a claimed PR.

Claimed PR who are fake tend to become known eventually.

i just think that being so adamant about there not being n1 actions is sort of weird from vt considering she was vt last game too

i mean, somebody has to be nilla town, might as well be her
