Is Mikal always like this? Personality-wise, I mean, not pressuring you.

Not too distinct from his norm anyway. It's unusual for him to put this much attention on one person this consistently between games, but he does tend to ride a lot on past behavior to inform reads, especially this early. Not even saying it's a bad tactic, it clearly worked last game.

Are we doing the soft claim thing this time? Maybe we should state whether are game show started before the year 2000 or after. Mine was after 2000.

It’s logical. Dayphase 1 is largely useless. Best way to play it is no lynch if even or lynch if odd. The only way you can get some type of a Poe is pressure people and the pressure can’t be spread, it needs to be targeted. 

as evidenced by last game whiteflame does not do great with pressure. It’s better to lock him into something so if he inevitably tries to correct his statements we have a reference point.

Ana it is. I like being personal. Why did you feel the need to soft claim without being asked to?

I'm fine with this. Mine started before 2000.

I am trying to get the ball rolling by locking everyone into a soft claim early, its something we've been doing in about every game. If mafia have to lock in something about themselves now, it limits their ability to lie later on. If that makes sense. I soft claimed first since I was the one who suggested it.

You can go through his post history to see if he's normally a dick and I think you'll reach the same conclusion as me

Before 2000 for me also. I mean game shows in general are not a new phenomenon and most started before the reality TV show era which seemed to largely replace them.

Totally understand the logic just curious about why you did it unprompted. Suggesting it is one thing but suggesting and leading before you are asked too. Just a mental note.

With 11 players alive, it takes 7 votes to reach majority for a lynch. Day phase will end in 72 hours, or on Tuesday, 5/20/25 at 10 am EST. 
Is this accurate? Isn’t majority 6?

Pressure doesn’t help this game. Scum have  fake character and fake role claim. They’ll just use that

I disagree a bit. At worst it makes them use their options off the rip. If they do have a fake character claim and it’s ousted early. It’s an option they don’t have to pull out of a hat layer. Especially if night actions or claims do not line up. Locking a few people down to hard specifics day phase 1 never hurts imo. If they are telling the truth great, it all lines up. If there is inconsistency in information, it’s a reference point. 

Not opposed to the soft claim idea. Just found it werid Ana engaged it randomly and was eager to share

Thee are thee of them and it says they were only given one fake claim.

Yes and no. Scum still doesn’t like to burn all their questions early before they’ve gotten other townies to claim. The pressure can work- I learned that two games ago. I got lucky some people trusted me enough not to push for my full claim back there.

I think the current format incentivizes getting a few other townies to claim first. Not too different from a normal game tbh, but you can getting away with planning to full claim in the middle of the pack, instead of at the end in this format I think.

I think there’s a bigger question to ask here. I’ll leave that up to your interpretation. Curious what you’ll think.
