For the integrity of the game this question should not be asked nor answered. We should also not speculate on that.

GF being protected from Vig is a factor but less so, as generally Doc won't target the same player as Vig so a failed kill basically becomes a Cop-check (unless scum has exactly GF + Roleblock).

I don’t get what’s so great about the janitor. It appears there are no indies in the game, and no town or mafia roles that don’t flip as part of an ability. If a player flips without an alignment reveal, can’t we just assume they are town? In this game Janitor can only clean someone who we yeet, it...

Not sure what you have been reading to get that idea?

Roleblock would be my first pick, I'm hesitating between Vengeful and Rolecop for the second.

Close down application and reinstall user.

... You have a thread where you post spoilered thoughts on the game. Isn't that a huge cheating risk? Even accidentally, if it pops up with a search. I'm going to set a reminder for a few weeks from now to find a better way to do that, if that's OK with you all. It was heavily used on the old xkcd ...

It would be advantegous if everybody could express at least some sort of opinion about each choice and not limiting themselves to one or two.

Loving Seven's analysis despite the MBTI stuff thrown in. The bolded are what stick out. The hedging does not align with my model of Sabrar. I think he most certainly is capable of a stronger analysis than this. We are not operating in a vacuum. The best choice heavily depends on what scum selected,...

One of the best ways to identify scum is to find connection to their buddies after we have a flip. If we don't know the alignment of the player we vote out that becomes impossible. It's essentially giving scum a free misyeet, besides obfuscating the potential MYLO/LYLo situation.

Just because you're egotistic does not mean that the world revolves around you.

You haven't quite endeared yourself to me in the past to the degree that i would feel obligated to acquiesce your request. Keep on waiting.

12. Sabrar Sabrar, similar to Wam and Fonti, we played in 2021. Who here have you played with before. List mafia Perks (best for mafia, or town, as you prefer) IIRC I've played 0 games with JC, 1 game with Fred, 2+ games with everyone else. Best for Mafia is Janitor, second best might be Rolecop, n...

Hey, I'm a bit rusty but I think I remember how this game is played.

Vote: wam

This is correct, right?
On a more serious note I'm very much against giving scum Janitor, the rest we can talk about.

PYP

Spoiler (Show/Hide)

Where is my game?????? Mods are so lazy.....

This is what town!me would be complaining right about now.

Happy birthday!

Thank you!

Final question: Is Mafia allowed to discuss strategy while they decide how to allocate PR-s or not?

- Do we get to discuss which roles to choose for Mafia on Day 0 or do we just vote?
- Will the Townies who receive the PR-s be aware of what their ability is on Day 0?
- Is Seven listed at 7 just a joke or do we need a moderator?

If the target dies then the bodyguard activity is not activated in my opinion therefore you wouldn't get to kill the attacker (per the wording of the ability).

What about in resurrection Mafia where the phoenix was immune to cult recruit but unaware of the fact? Is that in the non bastard category because the cult was told that some players are immune? Or should we have told the phoenix they were immune? I don't think it was bastard because cult was told ...

We have chosen 'Gunsmith' because it was the closest name that matched the ability. We have never promised that any ability would work exactly as it is described on any wiki. For example as you will see the Bodyguards had a secondary ability that we added that you cannot expect from the name alone. ...

I know, I'm just overly cautious about any interaction while a game is ongoing.

We appreciate the notification. Votals: somitomi - 3 - somitomi, moody, Adum somitomi was eliminated. They were Prime Intellect , Pack of All Trades , aligned with friendly AI (scum) . Flavor to be provided by Madge at a later time as usual. It is now Night. Day 6 starts approximately in 2 days.
