I know where you're talking about but:if I was mafia I could just google translate the word miller into Spanish.the key word is IF
No the implication is that as town, the player would recognize drafter's trap: scum would fall for it an actually post the Spanish for miller, but town would be quick to point out that their role "miller" is in English.
DD, why did you not do that.

As far as I'm concerned, cop's results is already worth jack this game. 2 millers, a hider, potential flavors, and I have reason believe there are more roles fucking up cop results.that'd be hell for the cop.

He didn't slip except for forgetting Lunatic's claim was maria instead of maria's hubbo, who's name is claudio. The only reason this would be considered a scum slip is if Lunatic Claudio as scum, fake claimed Claudio's wife for some reason, and Supa is in the same scum PM as Lunatic, and forgot Lunatic fake claimed.

Damn good catch idk how you would have caught that if you were scum.Have you noticed that Singularity's claim, "El Limon" very nearly spells "no miller" backwards? ellimon=nomiller

It was mentioned several times that he was a lynch candidate for later on because of his role alone. Millers are safe lynch targets for mafia because they spin the policy argument and it's rather retarded.
You just made me click through DP1 of your game and anti/ragnar was never scum read or touted as a policy lynch. The only mention of policy was on grey.
And yes miller is negative utility and a potential scum gambit, so it's correct to SOP lynch it just like hated. Tough luck, hope you draw a better role next time but I'm not gonna pass a lynch just cause it might hurt the player's feelings

No, being CC'd is inherently scummy.There's been multiple games with multiple roles. A CC has to have context to make it scummy. SOP lynching a CC is redundant. If it was a character claim it would be more damning.
I don't. You twisting my words to cater your shitty reasoning is scummy as hell my friend. I specifically phrased it "If you are in my shoes and know you are a town". This goes even further to show you aren't willing nor ever were willing to look into my behavior, this was a policy lynch for you, or as scum pretty opportunistic and easy looking lynch.
Bruh I'm not going to consider a prepackaged case you present to me where you frame yourself to be town, and then come to the conclusion that you're town. You're being manipulative.

My #1 mafia pet peeve is when people vote someone and say "oh I'll lynch someone else later" That's bullshit, when I vote someone I want them to die immediately.Again, you didn't do that, and explicitly stated it wasn't in your intention to do this by saying "lets not over think this".
Famous FT quote:
Player - "if you could kill someone, who would it be?"
FT - "everyone"

Yeah that's also what I meant. If both Lunatic and DD are miller, why do you think scum haven't hopped on the 3rd seat of the miller train.I meant in addition to Lunatic and DD.

@Lunatic
Wel this is big wrong. In the game immediately preceding this one, a game you played in, miller SOP claimed and was literally never scum read by anyone the entire game. It's the fact you got CC'd.Btw policy lynches against millers are so dumb. You are punishing a player for receiving a role as if they have control over that. It will start encouraging millers not to claim SOP and when they get caught guilty on cop results and mislynched they will get yelled at for not claiming miller lol. We are creating double standards for ourselves. Mods aren't going to stop using millers either.

And this makes drafter town because he was being subtle.this may reveal something about Drafter- In my PM, the one word that isn't in Spanish is the actual name of the role

@Lunatic
There isn't "behavioral analysis" going into the CC.
So you don't think we can behaviour analyze your response, your wagon, DD's response, or my response?
All I did was claim my real character and role.
And you got CC'd
If you are in my shoes and know you are a town and a miller who just got CC'ed, what is your play?
If I was scum and just did a miller gambit and got CC'd, what's my play? Why do you expect everyone to automatically work under the assumption you're town.

@Lunatic
Why don't you think arguments over this miller shit isn't a flashpoint for behaviour analysis. You were the one who advocated for a mass character claim, idk how that's any more behaviour related.but I see no way around this not being an argument in literally every day phase until the game ends. Players are so policy driven (a nice way for saying lazy) and doing actual behavioral analysis is too much work for yall

Why do you think they haven't.It's an interesting case. If there are multiple millers, then there really is no reason for scum not to jump on that wagon.

Did you claim miller with the intent to CC, intent to SOP claim, or intent to let the town know there might be multiple millers.The third. If lunatic had not claimed miller I doubt I would have.
Why did you think it was more likely for there to be multiple millers, as opposed to a scum gambit.

I think we still have a couple of inactives, waiting for one of them to be scum and pop in and claim miller.

Ok so "después" actually means "after" not "dispute" lol. I don't exactly understand my role justification, I think google translate failed me there. But I am anti-Escobar and my role is clear.
I am against mass claiming in a theme like this.

I can't read my PM but I assume I'm town cause I'm the only one in my PM. There's also a word that looks like the English word "dispute" and it immediately precedes the name "Pablo Escobar" so I'm assuming I'm a good guy in-theme.

I was talking about that exact scenario in the mason chat lmao. Nympho only played 3 town games (which was pointed out to me), the most likely role having been motivator. I would have used all 4 kills.

@Lunatic
I mean I completely agree, but theoretical balance is predicated on random lynches.

- Full random lynch every DP.
- Town death every NP.
- 1 cop,
- Cop makes 1 investigation per night,
- Investigating mafia prompts cop to out the following DP and guarantees a mafia lynch,
- Upon lack of guilties, cop outs DP sqrt(playerCount-1),
- Inno'd players are confirmed,
- Cop and confirmed townies cannot be lynched,
- Pre-confirmed town survival rate approximated,
- If cop is about to be lynched, he outs,
- if mafia is about to be lynched, he claims cop, forcing the cop to out,
- Upon outing, cop dies,
- Confirmed townies receive priority death.
- (Note that play is not 100% optimal.)
Note line 6 would mean cop outs DP3 with 2 innos.
And line 9 means there's a chance that scum kills an inno'd town before cop outs, but this chance was approximated instead of calculated.
Behaviour is not factored.

@Discipulus_Didicit
I think the game was slightly town-favored but not to the point of being overpowered.
Town had 1 investigative role (watcher), and 2 confirmable roles (executioner and mason).
Mafia had a roleblocker.
I did the math here: https://www.debate.org/forums/games/topic/74027/ and concluded that in a random scenario, a 11 player game with 2 scum and a town cop would result in a town win about 57% of the time.
A watcher is like a half-cop. RB in theory partially nullifies PRs. The 2 "confirmed" townies would have been priority NKs so they don't factor too much.

It was def not as bastard as Speed's game, and I agree behaviour is king, which is why I probably would have lynched Zaradi after oro flipped inno.I prioritize balance to "bastarding". I think giving mafia one good fake claim isn't bastard, it's tantamount to being bastard if a town player can just say they are a character and will be automatically town confirmed too, I think giving a good fake claim or role isn't too messed up IMO. I've done it in the last like 10 games I've hosted though so at least it's been consistent lol. Peeps just gotta remember role confirmation =/= affiliation confirmations
The one scum game I played where you were mod, we weren't given fake claims, and I stopped trusting Grey's claim that you always gave fake claims when he flipped scum. I also looked through your past endgames, and didn't see fake claims mentioned in the OPs; but now I see that even though you gave mafia a cop fake claim, it isn't mentioned in the OP either. In any case I don't consider giving fake claims as bastard, I don't do it often but I've done it once for balance reasons.
Having a miller without a cop is kinda borderline. I think I may have put a mafia ninja in the game without a watcher or tracker. But what pushes it over the edge for me is that you gave mafia the cop fake claim, while having a miller.

The cop fake claim was ROCK SOLID if it weren't for Water's results. Yeah it was "Tantamount to bastard game"

So why did Mafia only make a single NK?
