Vector, I'm gonna play this straight. I have no idea here. I don't know many scumtells and I've barely played any games at all. My lack of experience leads me to not even have intuition, and I think it'll be much easier to guess who's scum once we've seen some roleclaiming. After that, we'll see what's going on.

... This is a game with very few power roles.  I am really hoping you're talking about flipping upon death, because if we end up outing a cop just so the scum can claim vanilla townie with the rest of the town, we're going to have a much tougher job of it.

This RSV is unfolding as it should. (Though excuse my nub-appeal when I ask, what does FoS refer to?) The plan here is to critically analyze the personas that people adopt versus what role they actually achieve, hoping to find some sort of distortion, be it intentional or not, across the different roles. Eh, at least I think.
Sounds about right to me. My vote goes unchanged, though. Nothing personal.

Martyr Syndrome, why do you find Laetificus suspicious?  You yourself have stated that his story checks out.

We...actually have a Martyr Syndrome? Well.
SirBayer, that's not entirely correct. I know, because I've been called out for having that opinion.
Apostolic Nihilist, why do you sound like Apostatic Nihilist?
Why are you a member of the MafiaHomeowner's Association?
Nice weather we're having, isn't it?

Town is totally gonna win.
I don't see any relationship between the 'L' consonant sound and the 'T' consonant sound, but hey -- who knows?

I can't say that I'm a member of the MafiaHomeowner's Association either.

The weather here is quite wondrous, I'll admit to that. I've never been one for warm summer days, and the many auspicious autumn rains are always preferable.

My preferred scumbuddy wouldn't actually be webadict, or Pandarsenic for that matter. I'd be far too worried about screwing up their plans to actually do anything useful. I wouldn't mind being paired with a more inexperienced player, though. Laetificus seems like a decent choice.


Now, I pose a question to both Cobalt Kobold and tehstefan:
Who do you think would be the most dangerous scum players in this game?

RedWarrior0, care to actually ask people questions?  This is kind of ridiculous.  We've got the town sitting around waiting for the nightkill, doing nothing.  As Dakarian said, we've got to start unwrapping this stuff Day 1.

With that in mind, who do you suspect most, and why?

Would you mind cutting the crap, playing the game, and actually being helpful... Mr. Scumbucket?

Well, Martyr Syndrome just practically asked to be lynched. Org was just very... spammy in rubbing it in, but I suppose he could be unhelpful townie (probable). Martyr, why did you just ask to be lynched?

@mod: Can we have Org just break the Great Rule to make his post less page-extending?

unvote Talking to Martyr Syndrome there Vector?

Martyr Syndrome: Why do you claim to be mafia?

Org has a point. Town has no reason to claim to be mafia (jester excepted). Mafia has no immediate reason to claim mafia, but claiming mafia will confuse the town, furthering their goals.
Laetificus seems like a decent choice.
Why?


Now, I pose a question to both Cobalt Kobold and tehstefan:

Org is infamous for lying low. Doing it more generally will not cause remark, but he's likely to get lynched for it.
SirBayer seems like he'd be good at buddying.
Vector can act very analytically but I feel uncertain about the likelihood of him acting with verisimilitude.

Except that jester is a) third party and b) not in this.

Well, simply because he seems to be somewhat experienced and furthermore is new to the forums.
People who use meta a lot would have a more difficult time analyzing him.

Yeah, jester isn't in this. I thought they were pulled from Town ranks though, and was including it for completeness. On a third note, Martyr Syndrome sounds like he ought to be a jester.

Though there is a godfather in this game, Pandarsenic. :P

Web, would you care to weigh in on the wine MostlyScum has placed in front of us?
