@Chaqa - right now, who are your top three scum targets. Gotta have that much if you want the Money Hall solution
Nonononononono. STOP INTIMIDATING PEOPLE WITH MATH YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND WELL ENOUGH TO MAKE IT SEEM SIMPLE AND INTUITIVE!!
@Bunny - was just making my point that without having scum targets, his Monty Hall comparison was worthless (because you need to choose your door before the reveal). Also was just trying to get scum reads off Chaqa.

Xorxes....man you're making me wonder if you *are* scum.

Why on earth would the Vig not wait until after the lynch? Vig can shoot at any time during the night. Why not wait until there's more information from the lynch?
It should be obvious. If they hit scum they get a second shot. They could die N1 so they should not waste a phase.
Xorxes, yes they could die N1, but they would die at the *end* of N1. They can take the shot any time they want during the night and still get their second shot. Asking for the shot before the lynch is super poor play.
No. Only one shot per phase.

Just woke up. I find myself siding with gold and ND on this.

@xorx

What's your rationale in not getting the GM to confirm your role if you're actually the captain, there's no Downside.

Will claim once xorx is confirmed.
My reveal has zero relevance to the claims. People who make it contingent on that are looking for excuses.
Likewise, what is the danger in you revealing your claim now? You can prove it and alleviate any possible concerns, yet choose not to?
No danger. I just think forcing people to read me instead of bludgeoning them with a GM reveal is much more informative.

Ah, yes you're right. I read the role wrong. Still, I don't think a 50/50 shot D1 is worth the risk when compared to the extra information from the following phases. Assuming everyone massclaims, there's a 20% chance that the Vig will be targeted N1 (less if you factor in Doc, first mate and pilot). If we wait until D2 for the Vig shot, we'll have at least a 60% chance of getting scum.

If you're gambling so much on the massclaim, I don't want to double-down and have an extra gamble on the Vig shot. You're advocating for a very high-risk, high-reward strategy.

I support the mass claim, although it would have been nice to have some consensus on it before proceeding. Have a majority voted in favor of a mass claim yet?

I played F2F for about 4 hours a week for several years about 25 years ago. This is my fourth forum game. It’s been an interesting learning experience. How about you @teacon?

I'd like to see more talking from Tom Bombadil and (gulp) Vecna.
dargo, damo and bozo (all end in 'o') seem content with a single post. With bozo's post being the most odd. Not Chinese? Not Brazilian? Is it Filipino? I couldn't translate it.
Lojban.

I assume it was directed at me, since I'm the only Lojbanist here as far as I know.

Not sure what he meant to say, it wasn't quite grammatical, but he seemed to be going for "male VT" which seems to be a reference to last game. But it was in the form of a question, so I don't think he meant to claim VT, maybe asking me if I was a VT? I don't know.

He gets a few townie points for using Lojban though.
Sorry for the poor grammar, what is the proper way to say "Are all vanilla town male?"

##VOTE XORXES

XORXES IS CLAIMING TO BE THE CAPTAIN LITERALLY THE ONLY ROLE IN THIS GAME THAT CAN BE VERIFIED BY THE GM’S.

I don’t understand why anyone would claim their roles in a mass claim in a situation where the guy pushing for it and who has ‘claimed’ won’t use his power to verify his role. Why? Why would you follow this?

Ask yourself, why won’t he verify if he is pushing a mass claim and is the captain role? It’s either because he CAN’T or ??? fill in the blank because I don’t see why the Captain claiming his role doesn’t just verify it. That is so fishy.

If he is mafia then guess what he just flushed out PRs and is getting away with it. If he is mafia he just made a huge play and won big. Think about that for a second.

If he is the Captain, then verify the role @Xorxes and I’ll claim mine and retract the vote obviously, but the way I see it you just pulled a huge fast one and got away with it clean.

I can’t believe anyone in their right mind would follow that.

PLEASE DO NOT CLAIM UNTIL HE VERIFIES. VOTE XORXES UNTIL HE VERIFIES HIS ROLE.
ND speaking some real truth. If I were the more expendable scum this is a good way to sacrifice 1 to get a lot of targets.

With xorx pushing so hard for the mass claim and claiming captain (but oddly not verifying) he is far from town clear. Let's see...

REAVER
Most likely I guess, a reaver making a gambit to sniff out PRs in order to recruit. The downside is this play is probably more suited for D2 when there's already another reaver on the team and OG reaver can afford a sacrifice, but xorx is an intelligent player and this doesn't seem like his type of play.

CAPTAIN
Quite likely too, although revealing his identity and not getting GM to get him to three votes is weird. I don't know why he would be so reluctant...

MAFIA TEAM 1
Still has two more teammates and is more likely than reaver to make a D1 gambit, but in doing so his two teammates will be on the VT list attracting lots of heat and once actual captain CCs he's doomed.

VT
Could be a bold VT move (there's a term for it, it's on the tip of my tongue) to achieve mass claim, but Cop is the more practical option than Captain

BOUNTY HUNTER
Nothing to win, if his target is a PR he's basically could push them in lunches and if it's VT scum and reaver (post N2) won't go after him.

So what do you guys think, obviously if he verifies or actual captain CCs all cards are on the table.

@bozo - from my reckoning, besides the 6 people who have already claimed, there's 3 (including you) who have supported but are on the sidelines until a larger number voice their feelings. Another 3 that are hard against. And then a whole slew who haven't made their feelings clear.

@Xorxes: Now you have hardclaimed the Captain, and only Chaqa has followed you in massclaiming.

What do you think of this development?

Did you claim too early? Why did you not wait for more support?
I was going to claim my role regardless of any support for the massclaim. Claiming it protects me from recruiting by the Reavers, and I don't think it makes me more of a NK candidate than not claiming it.
I'm confused. How does claiming it protect you from the Reaver? If you get 'turned' and don't get your extra votes couldn't you just claim to have been roleblocked?

Most that aren't on the list are either on the fence or plain reject the mass claim.

If Xorxes confirms himself as captain I am claiming.
Ditto, with RDR and Jamiet (among others) on conditional though (either majority says yes, or GM confirmed X). It seems like it's more useful to Town, and if anything's broken (within the established rule-set) I believe it's better to break it and learn from it (as a whole).

He gets a few townie points for using Lojban though.
Google ends up giving something along the lines of "true or false, y'all simple town boys?"
I found a better dictionary:
https://la-lojban.github.io/sutysisku/en/index.html#

It does seem like "sampu" was supposed to mean "vanilla." Thus he's asking if we're all VT's.

Oddly enough, the logical language constructed to have no miscommunication is ... vague. Fascinating, Captain. ::spock eyebrow::
And now with minimal posting on his part, Bozo has flooded the first day with a lot of noise. I am a programmer, and this discussion is a waste of our time, just like Monty Haul.

I generally have a piss poor recollection of past games, but I would tend to agree that so far Jamiet seems more like how I recall him as scum than as town.

ND is an interesting case. His entire demeanor is different, and then he disappeared. Very suspicious.

Tom's absence is not unusual. Vecna and Bozo's absences are.

Peter and teacon seem much how I remember. Good feelings on both.

Bunny and Flavius are suspiciously quiet.
As far as absences... It is a holiday... with that said... Happy New Year to everyone (many of which are already in 2020 as I write this).

I'll tune in again tomorrow... same bat-time, same bat-channel.
