Hugh's Perfectly Normal Mafia Game Where Nothing Weird Happens Whatsoever

Scum Logos, who I don't think is an idiot, claimed doc d2, likely for panic about arson and security of a doc claim. I don't think Logos would have done so if the game state was known to scum because, well, Logos dying as soon as town got the joke was all but inevitable once claimed.

Nictis knowing, but knowing without discussing it in scumchat feels incredibly unlikely imo, as that would be huge for targeting n1 actions.
No, they knew. Logos wouldn't have claimed if they really thought there was an arsonist because it would just make them a target to the arsonist. The panic was fake, the entire point of the claim was for the doc credibility.

The point being that they wouldn't have claimed doc if they knew the roles didn't work which made the scum doc kinda obvious.

It's almost like you're doing exactly what I said :p

Also funnily enough I did think of it during the night.

Your reasoning that I'm vanilla is so bad

[x] Vote Shadell

Anyway, Seven feels pretty obviously scum to me at this point. I could swap if this has no chance, b otherwise my vote is pretty locked here.

[x] vote Seven
 
Updated Role Review, please correct me if wrong

NinetyNineLies - Perfectly Normal Miller - Deceased
-Rosen/ Seven - Vanilla
Shadell - Nexus
Nictis - Claims Alienist (apparently with cult, alert and other abilities?)
Logos - Perfectly Normal Scum doctor - Deceased
RoachTV - Perfectly Normal Coroner - Deceased
Draxy - May as well make a claim now, since I've already claimed a power-role. I'm a Firefighter, rolecard references Arsonist
OriginalName - Perfectly Normal Parity Vig - Deceased
ComiTurtle - Perfectly Normal Ascetic - Deceased
Wies - Spy (only see's who's going to be killed that night apparently)
MiracleGrow / Walker - Lover
Scia - Perfectly Normal Backup - Deceased
ICantRemember/LostDeviljho - Deprogrammer
Chiperninerm - n1 claims to have stayed inside, and mentions was unaware of anyone visiting them. (post 410) Probable watcher of some sort
Zaealix - 3p investigator

Ok then, that's everyone. Chip isn't here I believe so he get's a pass for now. Role wise I can kinda buy there being a single vanilla in this game. It's strange sure but I'd honestly would place the limit at one if there is a vanilla in this game, any more than that would be brow raising. Seven's sus actions today are another matter.

Other roles that stand out to me are Shadell's, it also seems to be a bit of the odd one out here. If hit by the scum kill it throws itonto a random player sure, but in the end that role still works. it's still saving Shadell from death at the cost of another player. I could potentially see it being town if where the kill being displaced isn't random at all, landing it back on Shadell, but otherwise think this is another scum slip before everything became clear for the setup. Nexus makes more sense as a scum role with it being protection from a vig and our own none-existent powers, if it's not to work at all.

Still think Wies is scum as well after yesterday, see his Logos shift as being suspicious given Logos showed up right after. Personally think Logos saw the way things were going and told him to stop acting so sus in scum chat. Still think his claim of spy seeing the scum kill in advance is another level of useless from our own powers as well, it just strikes me as a false claim. Could see it from a scum angle perhaps, allowing them to see where our own useless powers are going and then pointlessly try to avoid?

Also @Walker just to clarify where you told who you were in love with? Or just that you were the lover and that there would be another lover out there?

So yeah based on claimed roles alone, I'm calling Wies and Shadell as scum.

[X] Vote Wies

lolz if I was scum id be your strongest tr right now :coolbeans:
 
Like that's two of you now that said you think I'm town but thrown some vague shade at "my actions." Shadell is the only one to take a hard stand (and Zaealix sort of but his vote is pretty much equivalent to RNG)
 
I don't think Seven is scum so much as they're just unfamiliar to how SV tends to play; while their discussion hasn't been great today, I think they're overenthusiastic rather than actively malicious. Hugh deciding that the bastard game should have exactly one vanilla role also does seem in-character enough to be plausible. On the other hand, I've grown more dubious about Wies, due to their expressed distaste for role discussion and their continuous focus on discussing roles.

Are you intending to sheep Seven here?
Also @Walker just to clarify where you told who you were in love with? Or just that you were the lover and that there would be another lover out there?
I was not told their identity, and based on the way this game has worked so far, I'm assuming they don't exist.
 
*Frowns*…I might need to swap if Nictis is legit about that Alienist claim.
I doubt it, as it was fairly established that I had checked him for being the Cult Leader N1, but it might be he was culted night 1 and I can't actually catch that…
But for now, stay on Seven and get him- at this point, Town or not I don't want to leave him around if he's going to act THIS suspicious.
 
Spy role is hilarious

Also @Draxy Shadell said Nexus only works on non kills

Ah, never mind then, must of missed that. You can scratch what I said there.

Do you actually find my actions scummy or are you just parroting/throwing shade without actually backing it up? Describe in detail how my actions are scummy please and not a personality feature.

I pretty much do agree with what Shadell said yeah, even if your not currently topping my list for scum reads at the moment. But since you've asked there's also been these posts since then;

Killing mafia doesn't change that you knew something D1 that you shouldn't have!
Whilst true, I'm still reading Nic as towncore or at least town perimeter. They pretty much led the charge against Logos yesterday, and the day before as well I think? Will need to check. But not really seeing why scum Nic would do this to a teammate. Could be a case of extreme bussing but find that currently unlikely, unless they realised Logos life was on a timer after that doc and decided to use his vote off as towncred. If we go a day or two without finding scum I'll revisit that idea, but at the moment it really looks like your striking at low hanging fruit based on suspicions raised from the previous day, to try and push it away from yourself.

No, they knew. Logos wouldn't have claimed if they really thought there was an arsonist because it would just make them a target to the arsonist. The panic was fake, the entire point of the claim was for the doc credibility.
Also this doesn't make sense. It was a d2 claim, how would they know their was no arsonist at that point? Logos's claim likely was panic the doc cred was a bonus, again looks like you're trying to throw doubt on believed reasoning. And target of the the arsonist? They're a delayed killer with a lot of prep work, spending an extra night to ignite just extends the time they can be discovered.

And here you also sound very certain, your placing your thoughts down almost as facts. Doing stuff like that can look like potential scum slips.
 
Alienist. I went on alert last night but the aliens never showed up, I also culted Logos the first night but couldn't tell if they received the transmission, and night two I disguised as an alien and kidnapped Ori but couldn't find them for some reason

You are Alienist, but you also Cult people?

Spy role is hilarious

I agree.

On the other hand, I've grown more dubious about Wies, due to their expressed distaste for role discussion and their continuous focus on discussing roles.
That is fair. Though the whole Logos thing was me actually trying to object to it, and then conceding I was wrong in that case. But yeah, I understand I have lost some trust by defending for a long while a mafia member.
 
And about me continuing rolechat, I still prefer to focus on interactions, but I guess roles are right now where most of the information is to be delved.
 
I stayed inside all night and I'm unaware of any visitors. I could have been visited by a role with a stealth modifier, but I doubt it for the first night. I'm assuming my status as a new player on SV Mafiapaired with my currently poor performance makes me a low priority target for Night killers. I might be targeted later on if the mafia wants to get around dodge a protection or heal action.
Chances Chip is scum? Know they're dropping out, so voting for them at this stage is in bad taste and they may be GM'ed killed tonight regardless. But this really makes it seem like they're trying to claim a watcher role. That isn't really a role I would think to see in this setup either.

Hey Nicis Day 1 you said ComiTurtle was one of your scum reads. You thought one of he and Ori were scum, so you know Ori is town so why aren't you voting there? You should vote there.
Also forgot to add this to my previous post. But this was also such a weird question. This was from d3, and you're asking why someone isn't going with a read from d1. Is also very wolfish trying to place a persons vote elsewhere.
 
Also this doesn't make sense. It was a d2 claim, how would they know their was no arsonist at that point? Logos's claim likely was panic the doc cred was a bonus, again looks like you're trying to throw doubt on believed reasoning. And target of the the arsonist? They're a delayed killer with a lot of prep work, spending an extra night to ignite just extends the time they can be discovered.

And here you also sound very certain, your placing your thoughts down almost as facts. Doing stuff like that can look like potential scum slips.
No, I'm certain it wasn't panic. Literally, logos had a scum team to panic too and there would be no reason to make themselves a target to Arsonist.
 
Whilst true, I'm still reading Nic as towncore or at least town perimeter. They pretty much led the charge against Logos yesterday, and the day before as well I think? Will need to check.

Tbf I have no intention of actually reading the game. I skimmed through ISOs but more or less I'm starting from the point where I replaced in so I'm am just pushing stuff. It's scumhunting mate. Looking for reactions, seeing what sticks. Walker might be right that this may be a culture difference where you guys only push things you're 100% solid in instead of pressing things you are minorly suspicious of?

Going by the list alone and nothing else, I'm gonna say heavy heavy shade on Walker. Lovers are informed of who they are in love with, and usually are told that they can win with their Lover, and that if their lover dies then they die with them. This doesn't really work as a fake vanilla role.

I need to do a review of the previous day to point out who helped/inhibited the killing of Logos, which I'll do later. Walker might get cleared by that, but by claims I'm saying Walker is the most suspicious at the moment.

Also, my abilities as an alienist is that I'm cultproof and show up as Alien to faction investigation, the others are just things that I did in my role PM since I don't have any active abilities.
 
Other roles that stand out to me are Shadell's, it also seems to be a bit of the odd one out here. If hit by the scum kill it throws itonto a random player sure, but in the end that role still works.
Shadell specified that it doesn't work on the kill, but works on every other action.

...
Who are the alive players?

[x] Vote Nictis

for knowing that the roles were duds D1
Oh it was Nictis, to discredit me, I see I see
The actions are scummy. I'm dismissing them as a personality feature because I don't really know you however, but there's also your behavior in the last Day phase to point at. You started doing a live review of the thread when Logos was getting pressured giving reads without providing any actual reasoning behind them. I'll show what I mean:
Thanks. That both explains everything and nothing. :V
Thanks for that Nic, that really helps! Also feel like the fact most of those is unintentional says something about mafia on SV...
Still only two, maybe three, bastard games before this one? Thought there would be more.
There's nothing to townread here.
p#152 ComiTutrle scum
First off we have 15 players, we remove yourself as a target and myself because I'm not going to suggest my own demise, so I have 13 targets. Remove Wies, MiracleGrow, ICantRemember, and Chipernierm because of new player night 1 courtesy. We are now down to 9 players. And then remove Shadell because eliminated day 1 in the previous game. With that we have 8 players remaining:

99Lies - Slightly more out-there than normal 99Lies posts, nothing big, maybe some confusion on the Shadell question with the answer, hate the "I've been framed post"
-Rosen - Not much to be enthused about here currently, I've seen both much townier and much scumier Rosen in the past but there isn't a whole lot of content and even admits as much.
Nictis - Outside of a outlining of the history of SV bastard games, been in their little gimmick, I do not like most of their messaging around acting blindly, and if we didn't get the bit outside of the formatting I would actually suspect it being a power based requirement and agreeing to their posts directly having some effect, not enthused here.
Logos - Don't really think the plays so far have been the most effective, but is questioning players and answering questions, an avoid for kill for now.
RoachTV - Self vote on Meme-phase is red flag after AlphaDelta and I did it as scum and now always pings as negative personally. Second post is then pushing you to reveal. Wies vote is okay, though voting the person questioning you about your early vote is well... suspect. Post 118 is fine, but I'm noting the "What is importat for scum is knowing the roles of the town... but that's not what I was asking." is true in this post and the post chain that prompted it but not true of Roach's second post in game. Chiperninerm vote feels random.
Draxy - Draxy's main focus of note is on the Nictis play going between being suspect of it to going in line with it, not the best look in my opinion.
Scia - Reserved, strange SK question, but here, if anything I want an @Scia for what they got out of the SK question at least at current.
Zaealix - Not much, I have some tin-foil that one of those first posts before the reapearance is indicating knowledge of some part of the game but I really just don't have much to go on.

Given the ISO on all of those players right now I'd say eliminate Roach, most suspicious actions overall, and with probably a back up of say Roach is eliminated, Scia if my question isn't responded to or 99lies for the I'm framed bit.



The goal of the roleblock is to try and stop a kill or other scum ability more or less, if my first two targets died I'm probably happy about it and and likely suspecting that my action is a lie, and just feel great about my unlimited vig, "I guess death is a type of roleblock." If anything my targeting only slightly changes since most players I'd probably want to RB I'd also be fine killing.



No.

Also I would like the next 3 posts to include you being truthful about your faction, stated clearly in a line separated from any other text. K thanks that would be great.
You said that this post was tonally different from the She-Ra game and that you only read the line about Draxy and slated Comi as scum for it.
Yeah I'm a really good player. Like one of the best.

p#272 So Logos is a mafia doctor. No reason to claim all of that Day 2. Also I'm confused under what condition would you be shown as visiting @Logos? You said if your target isn't killed you're not seen as visiting, and if your target is strongman killed you're not seen as visiting. Aren't those the only two situations?
As for night actions, I'll claim a raised eyebrow at my result.

I've been going back and forth on whether to claim in response to seeing them, since on the one hand I probably shouldn't be claiming D2, but on the gripping hand the result appears to reveal info about the gamestate we'd want to know now rather than later. It might be my brain not braining properly at the moment, but I feel it's important enough to lay out my cards for.

I'm the Perfectly Normal Doctor. At night, I can target a player, and if I can heal them I will. As I understand it, if they get strongman killed or not killed at all that night, I don't visit, though I'm not entirely clear on how that would interact with a werewolf or tracker or similar.

Anyway, the part that has my eyebrow raised, and me claiming. I visited Nictis last night, and got a return that no medical intervention was necessary because Nictis had not been attacked that night and had not been doused.

Now, this might just be Hugh messing with me -- this is a bastard game after all --, but I'm inclined to think that if that showed up in my return, it's because Nictis not being doused was relevant to my action. So I am inferring that I have a not quite fully stated modifier that my doctoring clears up dousing. I'd be inclined to class this under not fully stated rather than a hidden modifier since it does say -- paraphrased -- that I'll provide any needed medical intervention, and being covered in gasoline is something a doctor could and should fix.

Having typed that all out, I'm still not sure if hitting post is the right move or not, compared to keeping quiet and not painting a target, but here it is. Based on my result, I'm pretty sure we have an arsonist problem.
Here you outright say that Logos is a Mafia Doctor. And yet, these are your situation reads and you try to pressure people to vote ComiTurtle instead of Logos because you were scumreading a single line of post #152 that wasn't even suspect.
p#152 ComiTutrle scum
What are your thoughts on ComiTurtle @Logos
Before doing a quick review of his posts, my gut feel is that he's slightly town. There's not much there, but he's been participating and has a reputation for insight.

Reading back through briefly, my impression doesn't change much. I don't like the question in #223, but that one was self-admitted as not a very good question and mostly poking for additional thoughts on why people were voting where they were. Poor town play, is my guess, rather than scum.
Shadell not obvi townie like in She-Ra, then again I was scum that game with TMI
#427 by Shadell is ngl

Comi > Shadell > Logos atm

Maybe not logos, I like their answer above and Comi who is mafia is voting them.
And here's you poking a bunch of people to vote ComiTurtle when you outright said that Logos was Mafia.
Who did Logos claim to heal last night? Not himself right?
Hey LDJ you should vote ComiTurtle with me, let's be town buds.
Hey Wies you should vote ComiTurtle
Hey Nicis Day 1 you said ComiTurtle was one of your scum reads. You thought one of he and Ori were scum, so you know Ori is town so why aren't you voting there? You should vote there.
Comi + Nictis + ???

How many scum are in 15 player games generally?


Town: LDj, Zae

@Wies yeah and I mean he's scum and pushed two MLs right?
Like I'm always right on my first elimination of the game. Like I said I'm really good. So just trust and elim Comi if you want to flip a mafia. Otherwise, well that's the extent of what I have to offer toDay, see you guys Day 4! I hope you elim Comi who is mafia!
Why would I vote Comi when Logos is scum?
The only people who really pushed back against the Logos wagon was Seven and Wies. Seven after outright saying that Logos is a Mafia Doctor and that they were scumreading Comi solely on a single line of a reads post from Day 1 and that they would only be around to try and vote out Comi and convince everyone else to vote Comi. Wies having stated that the case against Logos was significantly less than it was.

Anyways, Seven is definitely Mafia here.
 
Again. To repeat this little detail. Seven stated that Logos was a Mafia Doctor. And instead of voting Logos for it, Seven was pushing people to vote out ComiTurtle.
 
Anyways, I've been busy powerwashing stuff all day, so I'm gonna go chill after this slam dunk tbh.

[x] Vote Seven
