Questorhank assuming you're the cop, are you the type of person to try and softclaim cop on D1? Assuming you're noncop town, are you the type of perso nto try to softclaim cop on D1?

Claiming (of any kind) before you have useful information seems very risky, as it puts a target on your back without any benefit. Unless you're the current lynch target, of course, but in my experience claiming doesn't increase your odds of survival.

Questorhank: I think you're going to be awful. What do you say about that?

There's a (not insignificant) chance that I do do terribly. Hopefully I can help the town at least a little before my rather inevitable demise.

Ideally, you should ask questions you want answered, like "are you scum". But you're never going to get people to answer questions like that honestly

So, dolores, are you scum?

Yeah that wasn’t the greatest on my part. Ah well.

I’m all for ironic echoes, but is that it? What makes you so certain you’re going to be killed at some point? Do you expect to be lynched or night-killed?

You also gave something of a non-answer for dolores’ question. Don’t claim unless you’re about to get lynched, but it probably won’t matter even if you do.

How would you go about avoiding this situation, as a power role?

There’s a handful of red flags in dolores’ most recent post I’d like to bring up. Or rather, see other people bring up. PPE: second most recent, but if we want to continue the passive-aggressive thing I’ve got going on vis a vis dolores, there’s some more in the most recent one too.

I guess since she’s a current focus and is in need of something to do, I’d like to see that from:

Naturegirl

And I’ll follow up on them never.

I mean, later.

dolores

bruh who makes the start of the game a new thread

hector13 you owe me lunch money
Which of these nerds who I haven't played with before (ion, hawk,nature,pooka) should I actually expect conventional play from and which ones am I going to have to wring blood from a stone to get to vote?

Hey man, if you want to give your money away without setting the terms of paying it back, that's your problem.

I wasn't paying that much attention in the last game played, but Pooka, IonMatrix (I think?) and Naturegirl1999 played in it. Broadly, pooka will play "conventional", presumably 'cause they have some experience of the game. IonMatrix I think is more like Superdorf, there's potential there, if they can get past the flailing noobiness, while Naturegirl reminds me a lot of Tric and TBF, so they'll probably be the one to worry about, which you seem to be aware of anyway.

I assume you mean Questorhank by hawk? Never seen 'em play. Could be amazeballs, could be awful.

Let's find out.

Questorhank: I think you're going to be awful. What do you say about that?

IcyTea31 assuming you're scum, would it be wise to anticipate that you'll intentionally disrupt the flow of the game so that it stalls and dies from a lack of activity, a la bullying webadict into chucking a hissy?

I love you.

Cop claim in this game would be as soon as I have information.

Even with something like an innocent report on a player who's not really under heat? Is the intention to try to force claim/counterclaims to a point or do you actually think it has merit in and of itself?
You going to look to counterclaim cop claims if you have no information?
Any reason you decided to post a one line answer instead on it's own without answering my other question, adding commentary, or y'know, asking questions of your own, TricMagic?

... but you could at least touch me more before dumping me and moving on.

Your focus (beyond me) early on seems to be on the two players I expect will be easiest to mislynch in this game. Why start there?

Tric

To note, doing other stuff. Hence short posts. Here is a longer one.
Also, in case it wasn't clear, Cop should reveal once they've found Mafia in this game. There are no special gimmicks after all.

1. Naturegirl1999: What are the rules of this game by your reckoning?
2. IcyTea31: Who will you be investigating first, second, and third?
3. dolores: Why such an aggressive start? What are you looking for?
4. TricMagic: Me. It is 5:47.
5. Pooka: Strategy for Day 1?
6. kingawsume: Will you be regularly participating this game?
7. Questorhank: No Questions.
8. IonMatrix: Also No Questions.
9. hector13: Who will you be investigating first, second, and third?

I'm not expecting three investigations to have to be made, man.

for serious, though, the newer players. I have enough of a grasp of how dolores and IcyTea play to trust my gut with them.

How come IcyTea and I get the same question? Do you expect our answers to differ that much? PPE: ninja'd by dolores. Should I just let you speak for me in future?

IonMatrix: how do you intend to get us out of RVS?

kingawsume: you're the mafia rolecop, how will you narrow down in the thread who to inspect during the night?

Pooka: What did you learn about the site meta on B12 in the last game that will help you narrow down your reads list in this one?

Naturegirl1999: Did you learn anything in the last game? If so, what, and how do you expect it to help you in this one?

IcyTea: At what point would you be bothered by me ignoring you completely?

It pains me that you are probably correct. The response to a whistleblower is to kill the messenger, and not, you know, fix what they’re blowing whistles over.

I’ve heard you can’t switch off survival mode, or you’ll automatically lose.

The things you can do with a monopoly.

I was making a funny

It is my favourite.

We should probably get confirmations from people too, just to make sure they’re around and aware the game is starting.
