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 didn't vote just bc arcbell told me to, i voted bc he explained to me why he was voting and it seemed reasonable. i can make my own choices, thank you very much.

besides, he doesn't seem like the kind of jerk who'd take advantage of a player that's new to this format

I don't anymore because he claimed medium lol

And also I'm starting to realize he just naturally seems forced no matter what he says so then I take that context for the seemingly forced opening that I scumread and it kinda doesn't mean much anymore.

Don't you think that Shrub fossing you is towny? I don't think that the mafia would fos you so early on like that. It seems like a lot of hassle that the mafia wouldn't want to go through. Unless Shrub is using wifom here I think it's a towny thing to do, even if it's not pro-town.

It's safe to assume there's at least one protective town role that'll guard him at night if he's a cop or a tracker or something like that so we force him to claim especially because without the PR claim we have no reason not to lynch him.

Can there be two of the same type of pr in one game?


There can be but there probably isn't, which is one of the reasons we're making him claim, so his cc knows he's mafia and can act accordingly.

The ambiguity between him being doc or bomb or bp should be enough wifom to suit him without needing to hide behind the amorphous "pr" shroud.

over 8 years
If he's a doc or a role that wants to get hit he claims as "non visiting pr", if he's a role that doesn't wanna get hit he needs protection anyways and claiming is still optimal.
over 8 years
So we need to pressure him so that he full claims his role so that if he's mafia he can't weasel around by picking his role later.

If we didn't do that no mafia would be lynched ever because they'd all just claim "PR" and pick what pr they are when it suits them.

yoyo he claiemd PR after like 3 votes on him we need his specific claim that's how closed roles works.

I'm not happy with this bw. Izzy you should go and find your own opinion instead of joining with no reason other than that an unclear player told you to.
over 8 years
It's sad that 2 (possible) prs have been outed already but we might as well play optimally now that they have been instead of squirreling away the fact that we outed them in shame and pretending it didn't happen while the mafia proceed to kill them both one by one.

Shrub, if you're a power role that needs protection, claim what it is so we can have a basis to confirm you as town later on, and also work out night action dynamics.

If you're something like a bomb or a bulletproof or an oracle, or a role that can't be protected like a doc, say you're a non visiting PR.

N1ed when you get back please explain how your medium power works so we can work out how it interacts with Shrub.

I mean we're not going to end up lynching him provided he isn't cc'd, but we do need his role claim now.

Claiming as PR if you're town and it's early and there are 3 votes on you is bad.
