And why switch to referring to it a discord server after?

8) Foxcastle seems scum to me as well. I don't know why but his posts mostly confuse me, and in my notes I only found few relevants things about him, meaning that 1-I am stupid (which is probably true) or 2-he is filling his posts with words that mean nothing. For the moment, ##VOTE Foxcastle. I'll probably change my mind, but this is my guess for the moment.

This Marche guys posts all keep saying hes reading and catching up. finally we get a reads list. and his reads conclude with this as his scumread.

At the top of the post he says hes read every post of the game twice.

I think we have a sneaky liar on our hands lads

Of all the players to suspect... TheMarche?

THIS BRAINBOMB GUY IS WILD.

To not be too obviously copying brainbombs joke

[dargorygel]

Donny's search for PR's concerns me enough to join the wagon.
Still not happy with flash... but it IS mostly just a gut feeling.

##VOTE DONNY DUDE
I think Jamie's messing with the title
a) was innappropriate
b) is townie. I doubt scummie Jamie would draw attention like that.

I hope to be on at EoD.

no response to the secretary thing at all darg? how odd

Yeah, thinking about that. I was already going to change my vote this morning. I think the Secretary possibility has some merit. But I have nothing to say about it that moves that particular discussion on.

Why is it odd?

[Vecna]

just seemed like a pretty big development, and u didnt even mention it, but instead go on about some PR stuff as your reasoning.

[foodcoats]

So a Secretary is an Encryptor?

Very spicy.

If Donny is scum and slipped, I think this would clear brainbomb from the suspicion I had about not considering daychat.

Ok, I see what you mean.

I was giving MY reasoning.

Or maybe he did that on purpose

[Chaqa]

Flavour, or mechs? I read it as latter and usual.

If it wasn't flavor it wouldn't be in a flavor post. If worcej is trying to convey game mechanics through flavor, that's bad GMing.

What nonsense is this?

Plenty of the greatest games allow certain deductions to be made to apply logic to flavour. Guess Chaqa aint used to playing closed setups a ton?

I've only ever played mafia here, and iirc we've never done closed before.

[Chaqa]

Because Brainbomb has been fixated on me being scum nearly the entire game and I want to know if he has any other scum reads because if I am so scummy,
Why is he voting for Flash?

FWIW, usually when brain latches onto someone this early, he turns out to be right, but forgets about it later. So, if you're scum, you should be happy, and if you're town, you don't have to worry lol

Oof, in a vacuum this post reads so much as scum soothing another scum to calm the fuck down.

(no I dont think thats what is happening here, but wtf is the point of this post chaqa?)

Oddly enough this was mainly directed at brainbomb - I wanted him to keep note on his Donny read for later, because he's probably right but will succumb to brainbomb-ness and forget about it in a day.

I would not put it past Worcej to put hints in the flavor. The down side is, we can't cross examine him. So it remains assumptions.

[Chaqa]

Oof I'm like 15 pages behind.

I'm not going to bother trying to catch up anymore... if something really exciting happened between pages 40 and 55, hopefully it's quoted.

This is extremely scummy and/or lazy.

[Chaqa]

Ok guys, I did some more thinking and searching in old games and the peterbot

I need some help to figure out if im correct or totally wrong.

Donny was talking about a secretary. Now, I know what a secretary is, because I was in ~that game~

Normally, a secretary is called an encryptor. This is like, almost universal, across mafia websites and usually the case as well on webdip.

See here: a game where I was the secretary. Surprise, surprise, Worcej was scum with me. Worcej is the GM here. He couldve very well done some throwback and called the encryptor a secretary again.
https://www.quicktopic.com/52/H/bMgKmxLsVaqr

Now, Donny jumping to the conclusion that the role would be called secretary is mightily suspicious and VERY POSSIBLY a scumslip.

I need some help. Were there more recent games where an encryptor was called a secretary?

This seems pretty solid to me. I've never encountered a role called a Secretary and was going to look it up once I got caught up. The fact that it's an Encryptor and Donny was in that game is a good lead. HOWEVER -

has he played in any other games? This may be his only exposure to mafia and/or the role?

[DemonRHK]

Yea that's a hell of a catch. I don't know of any other place that references a daychat role as a secretary.

The strange flighty voting makes a loooot more sense now.

## Vote Donny

[brainbomb]

lets stay in this world for a moment that donny is scum.

3) Danny Dude didn't write as much as i thought. It seemed to me he wrote a lot of stuff, but now I see it was mostly people replying to him. The request to have a rating of the power every player has still seems suspicious, but for the moment ##UNVOTE .

Shouldnt this post reinforce the marches belief donny is scum?

given this is how it started:

Also, the other players' thoughts on you seem legit to me. It looks like you're a newbie pretending not to know how to play, i guess this is one of the most used strategies... i used it myself a lot in werewolves, so this makes me think you may be actually be scum.

##VOTE DonnyDude

I need to read again the posts, it may be really helpful and change my mind. But for the moment this is the first impression I got.

so he rereads
and decides that donny wrote even less than he thought
and decides kgray and fox are scummier

[brainbomb]

ive mostly found donny suspect all phase. I did entertain him being town briefly. its still possible. Im also unmoved by themarches replies.

but yall do your thing. call me up when its my turn to die.

[Chaqa]

##Vote Donny Dude

The Encryptor/Secretary thing is strong enough that I'm probably not going to move this vote. It's the most solid Day 1 lead we've had in a long time.

Vecna, you realize if you're right, you've basically assured your death tonight? lol
