Also I do hope the game we're co-hosting is still on, I mean I won't be playing in that one.
Oh ya that’s fine, idm. I’m just not going to play with you if you’re going to be anti-town and basically throw in doing so

Not anti-town. Some claims would get be lynched even if I'm town, and sometimes I have power roles. If I always refuse to claim, town is better off in those games.

It's an anti-town strategy when I'm scum, but then I'm afraid I've never tried to be pro-town as scum.

I think we should keep RM in consideration. His tunneling and weird sense of urgency could perhaps be attempting to avoid a mass claim. There's also the fact Casey got off Savant's wagon and has doubled down on the decision.

If Savant was scum he would have had time to create a fake claim by the time he was near getting lynched. I can't imagine a mafia player not giving the fake claim in that situation.

And that helps POE for other townies. This is a team game. Sometimes you gotta take one for the team. If you used your role that one game, we wouldn’t won, but you can’t be selfish like that.

and sometimes I have power roles.
Correct and you will be confirmed. 

If I always refuse to claim, town is better off in those games.
And when you’re scum? What then? What is town supposed to do?

I would also blacklist Mikal for doing it, equally.

That probably is where you and I differ.

Is this about the argument we had outside the game when you asked the mods to ban me? Because I promise me refusing to claim has nothing to do with that, it's mainly a response to almost always being forced to claim day 1 in the other games I've played.

Well if town is gonna lynch me anyway it doesn't matter if I claim, they'll see my full PM the next day.

Correct and you will be confirmed. 
And then killed at night w/ the power role. But if I always refuse to claim I won't always get lynched for it and can use the power role.

And when you’re scum? What then? What is town supposed to do?
Why would I want to help the town when I'm scum?

Mikal has literally said he uses the same strategy and apparently wins a lot with it. So it's not anti-town to use except when I'm scum, in which case I want the town to lose.

I mean the whole conflict. Is it because of something personal between us? Because it kind of feels that way.

Id do identical if Mikal did this and had also scumtold.

When you brought up Christ and Martyrdom it did become personal but it is based on solid game principles and playing to my win condition. I am not unvoting you.

Great so you’re POE. I fail to see what’s wrong with that in literally a team game. Take one for the team. It’s not like there’s no reason people are sussing you.

And then killed at night w/ the power role. But if I always refuse to claim I won't always get lynched for it and can use the power role.
There can be other roles out there that could protect you, etc. You don’t know that.

Why would I want to help the town when I'm scum?

Mikal has literally said he uses the same strategy and apparently wins a lot with it. So it's not anti-town to use except when I'm scum, in which case I want the town to lose.
Exactly. So every townie has to believe you’re scum. And therefore should lynch you. Otherwise as I said before. It sets a bad precedent. Hell we let Mikal get away with it last game

Lynch me if you want. That's me taking one for the team.

No, they'll believe that I could be anything including a power role. Which means that using this strategy all the time is playing to maximize my win rate, literally the point of the game.

Odd that it's always me being lynched "just to be safe." Not WF, not Mikal, not Luna. Even though you've repeatedly failed to read all of us and tend to over-town-read them while over-scum-reading me. If you keep mislynching me it's your own fault for not recalibrating your reads.

No they won’t. They will policy lynch you every game until you stop.

I townread Mikal. Luna and WF are in my POE. Pretty simple really. If you’re not going to cooperate, I will personally lead a policy lynch against you every game. Even better idea than just not playing. Just vote you.

 Luna could go either way but there is an actual scumtell I picked up on in the last game that made me lightly sus him (I was actually considering making a case for him and Pie being the team before Banana came in with her claim). Pie knows what I'm talking about, and so far I haven't seen it yet. Plus, there's another, subtler thing that's hard to put into words, which I'll get into later.
hmm

No its NP I never ever said dp.

It can be RBd (asked this) but the wording imllies it is guaranteed refund because ots worded as if I definitely dream once per game.

I assume you mean once per night phase, not game?

Hmm...I actually think AR is town here. If he's scum, he has to know how bad he'll end up looking when I flip town. I'm inclined to agree with Mikal that scum are probably being very quiet right now. Or maybe it's Casey, who has been online but isn't really engaging in the conversation beyond very slight pressure a few pages ago.
Town, in general, shouldn't care what they look like when hunting for scum, you know this. Their only goal is to find and eliminate scum.

Alright, I’m caught up and while I understand where these votes are coming from, I can’t agree to voting Savant. This frustration and his responses so far come off as a townie who doesn’t give a damn about being the lynch if he’s backed into a corner like this again, and considering how I saw that play out last game with the Enabler claim, I can see where it stems from.

If he’s doing this as scum, literally making his responses as frustrated and obviously scummy (like that Godfather claim) as possible, then props to him for making this look like an authentic townie meltdown. I just don’t buy that he’d do all this after shifting up his gameplay for much of the game, especially at L-1.

Interesting... Like this reads as scum buddying (to me the reasons people are scum reading savant seem pretty valid) but you've also been accused of scum buddying him multiple times at this point, and you'd know how this stance would look as scum, so maybe it's legit?

RM can sit there. I really want to explore full claiming 

Are you talking just mass character or role claims as well? I am not opposed to it, if you really feel like you can break the games theme split, or find just bad claims in general. I have supported mass claims in the past, the problem is some mods like to throw players through a loop. For example, in whiteflames game a mass claim definitely would NOT have worked. For one, there was no guessing that theme split, and for two both me and you were convinced that earth's character stapphyloccus HAD to be some sort of power role based on it being one of the most well known bacterias for its danger in spreading, despite all the evidence that presented itself to us that we also knew he had to be a vanilla. A mass claim that game could have resulted in an earth mislynch. So you really have to know that the mods got a generic style of game going on for this to work. I can't remember if earth games are generic style or not, but it could work. Just remember you risk outting all the power role characters on the off chance the mod isn't doing anything wonky with the theme or split, but hypothetically you could also just catch all the scum with it too.

@Casey_Risk
In all fairness, I have been very clear about the fact that I've been busy due to working a lot of overtime and only barely have time for mafia. This is something I've been saying for the past few games in a row; I'm verifiably not making this up. And I will admit, I did think that your stubborn refusal to comply was scummy at first, but now that I think about it more, I don't think you'd self-sabotage like this as scum unless there was a clear benefit to your partner, and I just can't see how that'd be true in this instance. So I will
People overestimating savant might save him this day phase, thats actually surprising.

I get that you’re frustrated with him refusing to claim, though he made clear that he wasn’t going to do that under pressure. He’s hardly the first and won’t be the last. If that was part of a pattern of behavior he was trying to blend in or at least not stand out from past play, I would probably have voted him already, but I’d have to believe that he drew attention to himself as scum by changing up his style substantially, then essentially dared us to lynch him. I just don’t buy that view. It’s possible, but not the most likely explanation.

I take him stalling as him needing time to fake. Therefore no matter what he claims now I stick to it.
So he’s scum, he’s had almost 24 hours to come up with a fake claim, but hasn’t quite managed it yet and is daring us to lynch him just to gather some more time to… decide to claim all of a sudden? If he does suddenly relent, he still has to somehow avoid getting CC’d, which isn’t going to get any easier without more claims ahead of him. It would also come off as pretty scummy after being this intransigent.

If savant is refusing to fake claim, its not for lack of "being able to find a fake claim" imo, it's just that its clearly working for him. Threatens town with a d1ck comparing contest and towns too nervous to mislynch to take the contest. Okay but that breeds a lot more of that behavior in the future, it's something we've seen time and time again with people (even myself). 

Personally if I am getting pushed to claim early and I do not agree with the reasons, I'd just lie as town about my role (if I am a power role, otherwise just be truthful). Refusing to claim outright is almost always scummy, or seen as scummy, if we don't lynch him now he's gonna be on the back of half the playerlists minds the whole game. I think there needs to be a clear line with this drawn. If savant had a very good reason drawn out for why he shouldn't claim that is different, but if he is playing drastically different that needs to be addressed. And I take that even acknowledging the comments he made dp1 about no doing his list thingy. Savant has historically stuck to his guns more often like this in defending himself as scum than town, so no matter what its a tough pill to swallow.

At that point we should just full claim me thinks
If we do this, the best way is popcorning full claims. Unfortunately the "post at the same time" rule doesn't work in forum mafia the way it does on live mafia, its just won't. No one is ever on the same time. But you can still keep an eye on their activity and use it to sus them based on how long it takes them to respond, and how long ago they were online, taking into account that online system can be fooled.
