True, if you aren't a level 1 Merchant yet we can start with that.

Everybody become a level 1 Merchant at the end of today if you aren't.

We should do a daisy-chain tonight, if somebody doesn't get a shield they can squeal on who the scum is they said they would sell them a shield.

PPE:

We can even disperse shields in a round table format to find out who didn't give a shield to someone they were supposed to. :L

Yes, this is way better than my initial plan. We do this tonight and then initiate Operation Spotlight after, all while constantly handing shields to each other.

At night all of us need to spam our tracking, watching, and protects to detect or stop kills. Eventually we'll have a couple level 5 Surveyors that can all spam Spotlight to catch anybody using the mafiakill, among all the tracking and watching and protecting the rest of town will be doing as well. This will force the mafia to have to use other kills instead, and because only mafia will be performing kill/poison/infecting/doping at night we can still out them, got it?

It isn't guaranteed that we have any Town surveyors at all though, is it?

Yes, but we can make it happen. Plus with this round robin shield strategy we'll all be protected from standard kills.

The Game Break Strategy (for Town, sorry):

I don't see the point in most of the investigates, other than truth verification. The good ones I see are Spy 2(Track), Surveyor 4(Watch), and Surveyor 5 (50% of actions tonight are public).
They're worth it, especially if Surveyor 5 uncovers the mafia kill. But they won't win the game, and so a strong day game, and doing more than relying on investigates, remains important.

This is very true.

There are no alignment inspects in this game, we have no true cops.

What we have in exchange are:

Tracking (Spy 2), Watching (Surveyor 4), and Protection (Doctor 2, Merchant 1).

We should all be working towards level 5 Surveyor, starting today.

If you already have 1 or 2 levels in Monk or Doctor then continue leveling that up instead because the level 5s are very pro-town. If a doctor starts infecting people instead we can kill them, more on that later.

If you really don't want to go into Surveyor for whatever reason, then go into Spy (only up to level 2), Merchant (only up to level 1), Doctor (all the way), or Monk (all the way).

We have role-blocks and misdirects and vote stealing and other goofy stuff, but I consider those neutral and risky so we should avoid if possible.

Lastly we have kills/poison/infection/doping which I am going to considering anti-town from this moment forward.

At night all of us need to spam our tracking, watching, and protects to detect or stop kills. Eventually we'll have a couple level 5 Surveyors that can all spam Spotlight to catch anybody using the mafiakill, among all the tracking and watching and protecting the rest of town will be doing as well. This will force the mafia to have to use other kills instead, and because only mafia will be performing kill/poison/infecting/doping at night we can still out them, got it?

A player becomes aware if they've become poisoned, infected, or doped. They should claim if this ever happens to them.

Spread the love, baby.

Caz too, come on guys don't give scum a free pass...

Why is asking questions givng scum a free pass? You ask everyone questions and it's lazy, you ask only certain people questions and it's lazy. What's the problem? Surely more information is good?

Asking questions isn't scummy. Doing the same thing to match everyone else, is.

By choosing everyone in your RVS you do not single any players out, it makes post-death rereads harder to scrutinize if you flip mafia.

I just realized I lied so I'm going to correct that.

4maskwolf voted me in Vengeful 12.5 right at Day start, that's the only example of me being voted Day 1 as mafia.

So yeah that would prove Secret is mafia if I was also mafia this game, but I'm not unfortunately so nothing to really go on there...

@Secretdorf:

Hello Toonyman, sorry if I made a fool of you.

Is this a question? Being voted Day 1 proves I'm town at least so thanks.

I haven't been voted Day 1 as mafia in over 5 years.

@TricMagic, Luckyowl:
You're not helpful as town, what can you change to help? Do you want to help this game?

@mightymushroom, Egan BW:
I don't really know you, how do you plan to help? Do you have past games you can show as evidence?

@Juicebox:
Gonna lurk? The player with the least amount of posts has consistently been mafia lately, will this be true here?

@Vector:
Is Webadict right that you're in a mafiachat with him? Who is the third member? Toaster? Jim? Me?

@Caz:
What if I said I was poisoned? Was it you? Would town use poison?

Watching for now. I'll hem and haw for a while about whether I want to join and by the time I make a decision the game will have started.

Just be a replacement!

or ... you could in ...

That would require Jim putting his perfect win rate in jeopardy.

You shouldn't let town use the mafiakill, no.

Please tell me someone else is picking parakeetin.

Absolutely. I don't see the problem with every player in the game sharing their abilities.

If there's only one Parakeetin (somehow) does the chosen player have to become an honorary Parakeetin? Does the honorary Parakeetin share their abilities as well?

Thanks Toony, I've reworded both sections for clarity.

I see, so your profession will always be random no matter what.

Sending my species now.
