Should WF die today?
That is the likeliest scenario. I don’t see how teaming with Wylted could help town other than in the short term and we’d have to trust him to follow through on his night kill promises. In the end we’d have to lynch him anyway though due to different win cons and he won’t oust his partner so this whole thing could be a ploy for time which if he has a powerful could be very bad for town.

We have two confirmed scum but we don’t know which one has the power role that is worse for town.

I initially protected RM but then changed it to a forfeit because I forgot about the factional bulletproof  and was told my doctor would cover that up and I didn’t want to be left guessing if we still had a factional bulletproof so I figured let’s take the free protection np1 so I don’t have to guess in the future

Okay just caught up. I’ll full claim.

I am witchdoctor, and I am the doctor. I was given no justification for why witchdoctor is a doctor so I’m assuming the link is the characters name.

So I all for multiple protective roles in a theme like this which is why I’m not immediately suspecting the the bulletproof, bleeder or Jailkeeper (excluding whiteflame who was both copped and CC’ed and obviously scum at this point).

I will say that a few of these claims are probably fake though because the mod did confirm he gave scum fake claims and if whiteflame resorted to using his own intuition on a claim then that means his partner has already likely taken the fake claim. For that reason I might suspect one of the other protective roles here.

I thought 7k was scum and took a high risk play to get town cred.
Get town cred from who?! You weren’t anyone’s top scum read besides maybe like RM…. I over estimated the reason you were lying here, now I just find you plain scummy

I think we are voting off an important non-investigative. Town PR.

Be careful voting who you vote. I haven't scumread you until this contradiction between you saying you read Wylted as scum and voting 7k.

7k has  had plenty of opportunity to change or sway our minds and blatantly refused to do so. If your gonna act like a terrorist, time to get treated like one. He's holding his claim hostage, and hasn't let on any reason for us to believe he's doing it for a townie reason. The second he claimed inside knowledge about who scum is he should have been doing this. Also the post deletion kind of seals the deal for me. There is never any pro town reason to delete a post in mafia.

Ok everyone is saying CC. Who or what is CC?
Counter claim. Its where two people are claiming to have the same role, generally you call it a CC because mafia has failed in coming up with a fake claim and used one that was already given to town.

Supa has had plenty of time to post, and joebob still has time to post thoughts, willing to unvote if anything new comes up.

Where it stands 7k is the best option here. If he is town I am at least hoping there was some logic to this play maybe we can read into. If there is no logic for his actions and he's just trolling I say we just black list him from mafia in future games. I at least won't play with a player who literally plays just to take up a slot and sh1tpost with no intention of playing to his wincon.

I am slightly scum reading RM for his behavior (specifically how damned defensive he got against 7k in the beginning and his omgus towards wylted). I think scum are trying to distance themselves from each other here. RM and wylted could both very well be scum in this situation despite my current town leaning on wylted. They could be using this CC situation to make it seem like they are not on the same team, and lets be real, RM has been hard on wylted all day even prior to the claim situation. Also claiming that there is "Art" to what he is doing. I fail to see the art in his playstyle if he is town, but I can definitely see it if he is scum and trying to make it seem that he and wylted are on different teams if they are in fact in the same mafia group. The whole "art" post to me definitely seems to be bragging about something and I just don't see anything pro town his "art" has contributed to. 

As it stands I don't buy wylted's claim, but I also think I know what he is doing if he is town so I'll let it play out in future day phases and see if his play is consistent with the strategy I think he is using.

Alright, I’m finally caught up.

Suffice it to say that I buy RM being cop. I in no way buy WyIted’s claim of being a JOAT with a 1X day cop. He’s made up wilder claims before and I just don't buy it. That being said, I still think 7k is the way to go here. Not only is he effectively refusing to participate, so he’s nothing but dead weight in the game to begin with, but he also serves as a test of WyIted’s claim. I think WyIted might be covering for some other role that he wants to use during the NP, just can’t tell whether he’s doing that to further town or scum. I’m willing to shift to WyIted if necessary, but for now I’m going to stick with 7k.


Alright good to hear from you. I am with you on all this, don't believe wylteds claim either, but I still am leaning town on his play. I think RM was stupid to counterclaim that but it is what it is. Not sure if it's really worth waiting around for supa here. Im more or less ready to vote 7k at this point.

@ijb1
Hello, I'm back. Could everyone update me on what's been going on? Tbh I'm a little confused
7k started the day phase out claiming that RM was mafia and part of mafia group 1, RM was pretty defensive about it. Mod later revealed information that every faction gets a free factional bulletproof against any night kills for the first time one happens, so tonight there will be no kills. Upon hearing this wylted claim to be a JOAT and had a 1x day cop that he used on 7k, apparently 7k is guilty. RM counter claimed wylted and is claiming to be the cop, though its not directly a CC, so it was kind of pointless. 

Basically I am just waiting on getting everyone's thoughts on the CC mess, but I am willing to lynch 7k for cluttering the day phase and allegedly not playing to win con as a policy at this point, plus it seems likely he could be scum based on all the scenarios, though if he does flip scum this does nothing to confirm either wylted or RM for me as I am sure they are probably hoping for if scum.

Something's wrong here.

Town seems way too strong by what we know so far.

I bet scum have some extra night kill role, because it would be really stupid if they dont.

Didn't someone say this is rolemadness? Not sure if the mod confirmed, but if it is, then powerful town means powerful mafia(s)

Think about the position scum teams are in atm. There is guaranteed no night kill tonight. Town gets two lynches before either mafia team can even target once. I want you to keep this in mind before posting your thoughts on our current "situation".

I think we should shut down the narrative that RM and 7k aren't both scum or on the same team. If 7k is scum here that's exactly the goal they would want to achieve here.

I just thought about this... Mafia could also forfeit the night kill tonight to cause even more confusion. Eventually these factional bulletproofs can be used as an "investigation" of sorts so this is something we need to keep in mind as well.

If that is true I might have to full claim because I just got a pm with some news as well. Can you explain further?
Basically every faction gets an automatic bulletproof is what the mod just explained. The first time a night kill is attempted on any faction, the kill will not go through. Make sure your information is really worth full claiming for. I'd probably buy your information without a full claim at this point though, given I currently read you town, but I can't speak to others.

I mean if he was right about scum both times it kind of stands to reason he would be more confident with it as he progresses, don't you think?
I guess, though as I pointed out earlier, it's not just the attitude that's setting me off. He chose to delete two posts, both of which were responses to me. He also said this:

Rational Madman is in faction 1, and he will kill on odd nights. We need to get him out first.
That's an... oddly specific thing to say he knows, since it doesn't say anywhere in the OP which faction can perform an NK on which night, only that there are two mafia factions and that one of them kills on odd nights and one on even nights. Maybe he somehow misread the OP and thought it defined that. Maybe he just believed that throwing out a specific sus would rally more people to his cause, regardless of accuracy. In either case, he hasn't explained this choice and that's despite my calling him out on it several times. I'm still a little hesitant to push on him because not responding to requests to explain his play has kind of been his MO, but this was pretty galling.


Yeah I just caught up to the point where people are mentioning he had deleted a post. That should probably be an auto lynch in any mafia game tbh. In regards to his information about RM, it could be role related, or based on something RM said (which would also indicate that he would have inside information and likely be part of the second group). 

I think he needs to claim at this point, in the odds this a newbie mistake and he is a town PR, that could be the only thing going for his survival.

Am I allowed to vote for myself?
Just to prove them wrong.


Take your ego out of it for a second I'd advise. You won't prove anything to anyone on this website, I guarantee you. People will just say "you acted anti-town so you got lynched for it" and their opinion will never change. Its a tale as old as time. If you are actually playing this to win, think about it logically. If you are a town power role, claiming hurts your chances at winning this less than just dying. You won't die tonight guaranteed, and if you are that big of a role, you can't discount the possibility of a doctor in future nights. Claiming here guarantees you longevity over just getting uselessly lynched to prove a point that none of these stubborn debaters will care about anyway. Just sayin. Think about it.

You will not get a claim out of me.
If I claim, scum will just get me during the night.
It has now been revealed by the mod that there will be no kill tonight, as their is a factional protection. You get an automatic free next day phase no matter what, not to mention potential protection roles that can cover you in future nights. Does this change your stance on claiming at all? If you are town and mis-lynched you will inherently hurt your town, as the lynch is a guaranteed death. In light of you deleting posts (this should almost be a guaranteed lynch in any mafia game) I'd say claiming is definitely the lesser of two evils at this point.

I don't think it was trolling. Maybe a bit too hopeful, but like your numbers indicate, town is at a severe dis-advantage no matter how you spin it. Hoping once mafia could openly team forces the other team to have to choose between wasting their kills on either town power roles or the outed scum, and remember they can only get one kill every other night, and the first time they hit both mafia and town, we now know that this would be super effective.

IF one mafia team decides to team with us they are basically negated their first kill no matter what, skip a night, use town lynch, decide to repeat against town or mafia (whoever they decided) or risk losing another kill. The mafia team that teams with town is at an advantage because they get a town lynch that doesn't get factionally protected every day, where they are already forced to up to two night kills and are damned. The remaining scum/town pair survivors are really determined by whoever the victimized mafia team decided to throw their weak punches at prior to death.

Funny that you mention it, as this concern came up in an entirely different context. Much as it is outside the scope of this game, it nonetheless affects it, so I can confirm that it has been looked into and that I have not found evidence of multi accounting from 7k.
Interesting... Could still be VPN but no real use in trying to spearhead that investigation. Not really sure how you could prove it.

At this point, I'm willing to put down a vote on 7k to get a full claim. Maybe this is just like WyIted says and 7k just doesn't care about the game, but he's playing it far more fast and loose this time and it comes off as scummy in a distinct way from his previous games.

I mean if he was right about scum both times it kind of stands to reason he would be more confident with it as he progresses, don't you think?

Is is stated in the following day phase whether or not a factional bulletproof has been used?

@AustinL0926
Since this is a pretty important mechanic that I haven't seen implemented in other games, I'll explain how it works.

Each faction, Faction 1, Faction 2, and town have a factional bulletproof. This means that the first time that one of their members is killed, then that factional bulletproof will be used. However, if a protective role is being used instead, it will take priority, meaning that the factional bulletproof will not be used.

For example:

On N1, Faction 1 shoots town. No one dies, but the factional bulletproof is used. On N2, Faction 2 shoots town. The townie dies.

OR:

On N1, Faction 1 shoots town that is being protected by another townie. No one dies, and the factional bulletproof is not used. On N2, Faction 2 shoots town, and the factional bulletproof is finally used.

I know that this seems quite complicated, but it was the only way I could figure out to balance a game so that scum couldn't achieve parity too quickly and crosskills wouldn't swing the game so dramatically, while also making it so protective roles were still useful.

this doesn't apply to lynching, correct?

This post from wylted feels town to me
Eh, its closer to blatant trolling than town.

Its not scummy nor town in my opinion.

Any scum team outing themselves would lose the game, so it would only work if both scums are new and clueless in one team.

Also, if WyIted is one of the scums in one team, it would be most  beneficial to him to try and eliminate the other scum team by telling them to out themselves.

The strategy doesn't work, I agree, which is why I didn't post it myself despite thinking of it as one of many ideas to "gamebreak" this concept. I think the logic in getting there is town though, because if you look at this logically, this doesn't favor town very much at all. We are basically even numbers with every scum group, and mafia really don't have any reason to priority target the other scum team over searching for town power roles that pose just as much threat to them. For example if someone is forced to claim doctor or cop, both mafia teams have every incentive to hit that person night phase one. Towns only goal is to be honest even with an offset balance, so if I were mafia in this game other mafia wouldn't really be my first target. You get what I am saying? 

So Wylted offering a plan like this (even if I don't think it works) makes more sense from a townie perspective imo.

Was he town in those games you mentioned? I haven't played with this individual so some context would be nice. 
He was in the last two games and while I only did a bit of reading into the Wylted mafia game, I was involved in the Indie Games Mafia. In both games, he was town.

He does tend to just pick someone and tunnel them for a while without reasoning (he did so for Pie last game, who actually was scum), so his decision to make RM his target this game is a null tell to me. He also jumped targets and proceeded to do the same thing again in the middle of the DP before saying shit like this after his behavior was called out:
Interesting he plays like this and happens to be right both times though isn't it? Kind of screams multi account to me but could just be a coincidence. Have mods checked IP's of players to make sure there are no matches just out of curiosity? Not that the average person couldn't figure out a vpn but still worth checking into...

It looks like i'm already dead, and maybe I deserved that, but that doesn't make me the Mafia boss.
Notably, it's a more defeatist post than anything he's posted here so far. A couple of people jumped on the fact that he specifically said he wasn't the "Mafia boss" and there were some concerns with his claim, particularly since he soft-claimed a PR by saying:

My role IS useful, but I can't share it. 
...before just straight up claiming vanilla. That stuck out to me in particular, as did his intransigence when it came to explaining why he said that.
Yeah this player doesn't seem like a "new player" to me. Vanilla hinting at PR to draw the night kill seems more like a vet move. I think the appearance of him being "new" gives people the impression he is just acting volatile and irrationally. I would really look into the multi account thing.

If I vote Wylted or 7kseires rn is looks like I am scummy.

Both are genuinely scummy for what they're doing.

Town shouldn't have to worry and hyper analyze how they look scummy. Especially with how little pressure is on you atm. This combined with the defensive post I spoke of earlier is giving me a bad feeling.

Anybody one the scum teams just want to fess up and help us kill the opposite scum team?

You keep your partner secret if you think it is a high risk play and want to remain you ability to win, but we could help you eliminate the other scum team. So we essentially will lynch somebody we think is scum but not your partner and then you can attempt to vig the other one? Or do the equivalent of a vig?

It's high risk for you but if anybody wants to fess up as scum we can work together to eliminate the other faction and make it a 1 vs 1 game?



This post from wylted feels town to me, because on entry to hearing the concept of the game I was rolling ideas of how to "game break" this from a town side in similar ways. I kind of eventually concluded this is not a town sided game unless mafia just have it out for each other or misread guessing town power roles and end up targeting the other mafia instead. But I don't see a whole lot of scum motive behind a plan like this.

Scum are given fakeclaims with videos.

Your video mixup doesn't confirm him as Town btw.

Like I said, its not town confirmation just character confirmation. But I had literally just watched the video then hopped into the day phase and I gotta say, bleeder fits that claim perfectly. So if he is scum, I think he is scum bleeder. Either way I believe 100% he is a bleeder.

This is toxic as fuck. All other soperate as if 7k doesn't exist for now or he will force inorganic pseudoslips to occur. This is not good pressure and is the kind that lets scum sit quietly as others rip each other apart.

I have got to say this type of reaction and emotion seems a bit overtly defensive considering he is trying to also say people should be down playing this players effect on the game by ignoring him. 

I understand it's RationalMadman at the same time so I will consider if this actually defensiveness, or just normal over reaction on his part.

My character is Black Dragon. even if scum kills me, I will last a day phase until I bleed out. I won't know if I am bleeding, but if there's no posted kill in the night, it's pretty likely they got me.

I think I can actually character confirm you due to a mod mistake. The mod posted the wrong video for my character in my pm, but the video he linked me actually showed two robots fighting who are not my robot, and one of them was "Black Dragon". I watched the whole video and Ribbot was basically beating the fvck up out of black dragon the whole time but Black Dragon legit just kept surviving in the video.

This was the video the mod mistakenly sent me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmw_RSrveW0 

(The mod actually sent me the right video after I asked him about this potential mistake afterwards). 

Anyways, I don't know the theme split so this could still be scum. I don't know how this mod balances since I've never played in one of his games before, but I 100% believe your claim. Unless there is reason to believe the mod provided fake claims, I think he still had your video in his clipboard when he PM'ed me my role. 

Can you confirm if you received the same video for your role pm?
