Is this correct?
You have to PM him.

He hates the analysis that happens over mod responses in game... I really really agree with this. I understand we have to use tools made available to us, but that one I'd prefer to never see again.

it's better to lose and maintain our dignity
All right, let's remain civilized.

Anyway, who do you feel like hanging today?

I guess? It still doesn't seem like a genuinely plausible plan, but then again, we're all fluffposting rn anyway.

I just checked the wiki article for my character, it looks to be around 10,000 to 15,000 words at first glance. Hope I don't have to actually read all that...

And about the whole out-of-game angleshooting, I hope this long-ago mafia game should be enough of a cautionary tale...


Mikal calls out Speed for allegedly typing in a group chat, DP1 chaos ensues. Both of them were town.

There is a lot of mentioned characters, so I guess scum can come up with fake role after some time, but from what I see, town has lots of roles which can be confirmed, so scum is likely among non-confirmable roles as I rarely see scum managing to confirm a fake role.

Needless to say, I believe GP. His actions perfectly fit his MO... I honestly suspect if he was mafia he'd say so in his first post.

Still, first to character claim, when scum lacks fake claims. And claiming an odd and testable role.

I've seen town say the same stuff in frustration at each other. So not too bad. Still entertaining.

Lol, this was totally thrown at Wylted with zero provocation...and he just put it down to "trolling"

Pie and I were fighting in the Mafia PM because I wanted to help out town cause it seemed like the game was unfair.

Pie must have told me "SHHHH" at least 6 times...

Does a visited player specifically get a message saying they were probed, or do they only know they were visited by you?

Grey's role is way to specific for him to fake claim off  the bat.

Putting Grey in my likely town pile because of it. It's way too deep of a role explanation for him to just conjure up in that time he had to post. It makes me read town on him

I'd forgotten that she had a brother (name was Multi-Paul - gotta love those puns).

That's... an interesting role. I guess that means you can always hold back one Kate just to prevent yourself from dying from using them. It's pretty weak on the informational front, since you are functionally only able to receive information that someone was or wasn't visited in the night. It makes sense for the character, sure, but it's also odd that Luna would go through the trouble to say that he carefully balanced the game, sometimes at the expense of a role making sense for the character, then go out of his way to create a role specifically for this character. 

I think it's a bit odd and very specific, but also I think it would be an extremely balsy fake claim to make up and try and justify, which makes me lean more town on it

Savant's thinking outside the box is interesting. I know he's not "new" to mafia, but it comes off as scum hunting a bit, which I do like

Suffice it to say that I'm going to wait and see if we can verify it during the NP, since that seems plausible given the claim.

Never played forum mafia before, but I've read through the forums to see how it works. And I've played other versions of mafia.
Interesting

Afraid I don't have much substantive information to share, but if you want more loopholes that violate the spirit of the game, I've got plenty. For example, on day 1, everyone writes a message with a role claim and puts it through a hash function, then posts the result. This way townies can wait to reveal their claims until later, but scum can't change their role claims following day 1, since the hash result wouldn't match. (Come to think of it, I should try this in Town of Salem.)
I think Lunatic frowns upon that lol. Something oromagi used to do to soft claim

Also, what does VTL stand for? (I know the V is for "vote")
Unvote

VTL = Vote to Lynch

So Greyparrot’s role is likely true. His affiliation is still up for debate. I did some  research and it seems like the mechanics he describes are not the norm for a Prober. Lunatic likes modifying roles to suit himself though
