Mimic can clears blues

https://epicmafia.com/game/6873604/review

When mimic visits mafia, they only self-visit. When mimic visits town, they visit self and the town -> the game double checks the role of the visited and they make the "Role Box" to reappears. In the case of Mimic onto pr, the new box is the new role (which is blue because they got mimiced).

But when blue get mimiced.. the box reappears as villager seemingly for no reason. Blue can know if they got mimiced if their box was "reset".

That means the same way caroler can clear people if they claim to be caroled, mimic can clear blue if they claim to have their role box "reset",

ive been wanting to try the mimicing on blue this round to confirm the town but it has too many flaws
1)tracker needs to be on the mimic to see the report
2)a pr is prolly lost while doing that
3) the tracker isnt guaranteed to stay alive to out the report



the tracker exploit doesn't work btw

well the box thing is obv a glitch but its nice to have a clear town if tracker was accidentally on mimic who visited n1 apart from that there's literally no better way to use it as its not worth losing a pr over it


Yes its hard to make it work, but if ninja is last mafia, clearing a blue is much more powerful than stealing tracker etc. Theres some uses

N1 Mimic always optimal Silly Tor :doge:

imagine mimicked the dead drunk that wasn't janned, have tracker copypaste a visit report on him daystart, then gets lynched because he outed a visit on blue

Imagine mimicing n1 and getting a PR that is going to be janned

this'll likely be fixed within the next 5-10 minutes, so just a warning to anyone thinking its optimal in order to create a clear or a mimic thinking they have confirmed mafia because a blue didn't out they saw their role box at day start

Let it be known that I played optimally before it was cool.

mimic should absolutely mimic n1 now

Idk what used to be optimal mimicking N1 in a setup where mafia usually claims blues, Mucs1337.

Mimicking N1 was always optimal. DDP is the heaviest setup in terms of mechanics, so I am not surprised at how many exploits occur.

Mimicking N1 optimal once again!

Mods must decomp DDP for a while... again.

Visiting works as intended, regardless of role. It only depends if mimic was roleblocked.

About the role box, if what you say is true... lucid!

so basically if you have your role box appear again as blue you have been mimicked, just like when you're naked

but if you don't then you are maf

so mimic can forego his usual role steal function to act as a one time cop

fun

^^ was really nice getting cleared but lol mimic visits both self and mafia still

but i think you might right about the role box, if blue has the box show up they can claim as mimiced and be cleared (kinda weird)
