I’ve always felt because of non-tagging reply posts the way of regulations such a rule results over moderation. I don’t think there should be a blocking feature at all except for PMs. Anything else should be fair game, and if you get harassed on a forum or debate, that’s where the mods can step in.

I think I played just well enough. Certainly not perfect or even great (I was definitely too aggressive DP2, and I did glance over your results as well without noticing them), but I had some good plays in there as well.
To start, the vote block strategy we based our every move on was my idea (although it was just Ozark Mafia strats 2.0) My fake claim of Sambo I spent hours researching and my research efforts also prevented me from claiming Muay Thai, Judo, and Capoeira on when I was considering them at separate points in time (I’ll admit I also had plenty of help from Whiteflame with the list of viable fake claims I could research that he provided in the scum chat). I called Wylted was Wrestling in the scum chat but obviously didn’t out my thoughts since he was already on me at that point and speculating in-thread about his claim would only fuel his argument against me and actually give it some legitimacy (I do believe Wylted had me but for the wrong reasons).
The cop claim wasn’t too bad looking back at how it did put eyes on Whiteflame instead of me ( lynching me before Whiteflame would’ve won the game for town for sure). And looking back, counter-sussing you wasn’t the best but not horrible since I had no other case on any other townie. You could call those misplays and I can agree with that; they just weren’t big enough screw-ups to cost us the game.
As for Whiteflame’s play, I feel like he was a good teammate this game. I had a lot of ideas throughout the game and he helped me work through them all, eliminating some strategies from viable usage with just sound logic. As previously mentioned, he helped me a lot with figuring out a fake claim for me by establishing a list of what’s viable for me to claim.
All in all I say yes. Sure we had some luck in some areas, but we capitalized on the luck when we got it. As for Pie’s vig kill on Wylted, it was a double edged sword to me. On one hand, he killed our next lynch target which put us in a rough spot DP2, but on the other, he mathematically enabled to voteblock strategy to work sooner than expected if I made it out of DP2 alive.

We almost just double hammered Whiteflame once he had RM and That2 on him. It would have been a funny way to win the game, but we had concerns about Supa being a roleblocker instead of vanilla, so we just continued the VTNL push in hopes Supa had smaller odds of roleblocking me.

All I can say at this point is, take the test and see what happens. You all have some level of uncertainty, and that all can be answered with the test. I don’t have anything else to say other than what I have already said.

Just take the test and find out. At the end of the day, if Whiteflame is still alive next DP, we all vote for him. If I hold out, you all vote me. Period. Full stop.

Incorrect on the OMGUS claims. I have given plenty of other reasons for you to be scum and you ignore them. And you still haven't answered the biggest question of them all: If you really have the role you say you do, where are your results?

He then proceeded to not at all justify his vote on CN over Incel-Chud. He just did it and said he felt like the vote on IC wasn't happening and that therefore it was cool to vote CN.
You're stretching the truth here. I never felt it was "cool", just that I was out of options. Some info is better than none on a DP1.
Then, today, his instinct was inaction in the face of murky waters, as opposed to lynching. This is such a contrast to his under-pressure reaction DP1 when he voted way before he needed to, even if he had to sleep he could have woken up several hours later to see if he had to vote or what was viable if that was his concern.
This "contrast" is because the circumstances of DP1 and DP2 are different. In DP1 there is barely any behavior, no lynch, and no night kill to analyze AND it was a non-MYLO situation. Here in DP2 was can analyze three deaths (two in the night and one lynch), but we are in MYLO with an even number. Not to mention that Wylted, who would've been my biggest scumread coming into this DP, turned to be have died in the night, which forced me to rethink everything I thought I knew. As for the early vote, maybe it was a bit early to you, but given Supa's inactivity and Earth's little activity at the time, I felt that every player we were missing was a smaller chance to lynch Wylted, who was my preference over CNerd, so I went with CNerd because he had one more vote on him at the time, and therefore a higher chance to get at least a lynch that DP, even if I didn't really like the option that was being wagoned on.
The way he keeps pushing for Town to opt for inaction today, screams scum to me especially as he pushes harder on it the more that Whiteflame appears in danger but was more chill about it and openminded when it wasn't sure Whiteflame was losing this CC nor the crediblity I had.
Because I do not believe a cop claim is something any scum team would do AND you still have failed to produce your results from last night of this role you supposedly have. That is why I firmly believe he's town. But let's say he's buddying me here and isn't a cop and you are the real investigative role. Why not take the test to prove it? This isn't inaction. It is running a test before we vote the wrong player and lose the game, which would be an unintelligent action. You argue that the test can lead to more uncertainty, but not everyone sees it that way. Given the possibilities of today already, there's really not that much more chaos that can even be added, yet you stick to fringe what-ifs that are easily readable next DP even if they do happen.
Another reason behind it is I think this was balanced as what Lunatic sees as a non-bastard all-PR game. It does make sense to not have a vanilla actually, despite what you just said to whiteflame, if Mafia were essentially able to cut through abilities quite a bit (except mine unless they have a roleblocker).
There were vanillas in Ozark Mafia. Lunatic just makes them less in number in every game he does, but they still exist in nearly all of his games.
This is also why I outed ASAP day one, I ran through many combinations (I am very intelligent just trust me I can do that) in my head quickly to figure out how I'd have that role and it would be considered balanced. This made me realise that the balancing either totally renders my role pretty pathetic (like Earth's if there's a ninja) or I am just not nerfed and instead this is probably a setup with a tonne of utility and protection interactions where I'm a lone or duo investigator with another type that's the nerfed one. That's why I knew I had to out, on top of thinking I had a serious clue as to the theme split.
As far as I'm concerned, you outted yourself DP1 to control the game. Scum clearly has a strongman they can use given Wylted's role, so why aren't you dead? We know Pie vigged Wylted, so Pie's death in only explainable if he was the target for the night kill. And he was the guy that questioned you the most, meaning you stand to have the most benefit in his death.
And the biggest thing is, you could prove yourself innocent (and Whiteflame guilty) by doing the test, yet you keep making excuses not to do it, probably because it implicates you if Whiteflame cooperates and everything checks out. If you are so confident in Whitelfame's guilt and your own innocence, just take the test.

Again? Why the Hell would anyone lynch you?
Literally just confidence, plus speaking from what your line of logic would be. If you really fear such chaos, then why not lynch me, the one who fought for the plan so hard, if such chaos happens. If such chaos doesn't happen, then game is solved.

@That2User
I don't think so. There are so many "what ifs", but not all of them can happen at once. We know there is at least an implied strongman and a ninja; the strongman is implied by Wylted's role while the ninja is implied by Earth's. We don't know if both abilities are stacked on the same scum players or across both. And if Whiteflame is immune to a lynch DP3 regardless, you can still lynch anyone else you suspect of being Whiteflame's teammate, including me.

Ik why WF living is implicating, why it makes sense that he's lynched, but why you?
I am speaking from his perspective to convince him. If I am following his logic, he would want me lynched after we lynch Whiteflame. So I just proposed we lynch me if the plan fails, which pretty much all of town can agree on anyways if the plan does fail. Again, I am just that confident the plan will work.

Which of RM and Whiteflame is faking their role. I think RM, but I want this test just in case. If it really does result in the spin from Whiteflame that RM fears, we just lynch Whiteflame anyways.

Mafia has a role that can vote with extra power at one point in the game (meaning this is lylo)
In that case it would go away at MYLO/LYLO, as has been the trend in Lunatic's games.
Mafia has a ninja, which means instead of killing Earth, all they need to do is kill me (I reckon NP1 they used Strongman, fearing all sorts of protective powers and left me alive hoping to cc me with relative ease, since that is instantly what WF did and when he did so he even said 5v2 showing he barely read the OP and it was preplanned as he hadn't clocked it was 4v2).
If that's the case then Whiteflame will show up to Earth as "not visiting anyone" and therefore would be lying about cop, resulting in an instant Whiteflame lynch.
No offense but based on past performance, Earth doesn't hammer or cut through themes and reading as well as I do, there is no humble way to say it. I want to be the hardcarry hammer, over Earth. Even if we remove people from the equation, if we kill Whiteflame, he's either strongman or ninja blatantly due to what a 'KO punch' is in terms of power and speed, based on what he is, it will be telling who dies. If the remaining person is not ninja, then if Earth tracks the other and they don't visit, they're lucky but if not they lose, however they're absolutely blackmailed to kill me because of how OP my power is in endgames.
So you don't trust Earth here, your 100% town read? You may not believe in Earth, but I'm pretty sure they'll watch Whiteflame in the night if we do this plan. They're not stupid.
The scum has a roleblocker, rendering this not only useless but enabling all sorts of fakeclaim of being roleblocked or not roleblocked and a redirector or something really skewing what goes on the next NP and making the real investigative role look scummier.
Then we just lynch Whiteflame and I'll go with it too. Again, if you are the one roleblocked and can't tell I can also be a lynch target next DP. I am really this confident in the plan.
I CAN WIN (probablistically ) NOW BY FORCING THIS. There is only contingent worries on the other side of a NL and zero gain, absolutley fucking zero for me individually/selfishly/egotistically and Town from my selfless perspective too. There is every single reasonf or me to force this aggressively and zero, absolutely zero, reason for me to lay off whiteflame. Boxing does not fit the theme at all, no possible theme can work with Boxing as Town here and cop and parity cop? With clear tracker on top? That's bastard modding.
Or we can lose the game because you are wrong again. At least with the test there will be more information, especially given that your concerns here are not actually concerning.

A NL with a 100% clear, Earth, from my perspective does NOT achieve shit. Earth will die (because if I die, Earth is clear) and then the game proceeds as follows:The cc between me and whiteflame intensifies, enabling him much more room to manipulate the desperation and panic by pointing out how Supa has been laidback and knowing that mharman doubts and isn't quite sure he is scum
Fine. If this scenario happens, we can all lynch Whiteflame, and I will vote for Whiteflame too. But only on one condition: You vote to not lynch this DP AND use your power to get results in the night (if you have it). You can even use it on Whiteflame and me if you want. That way, once Whiteflame is lynched, my affiliation can be tested if he's guilty (If he's innocent the game ends with a mafia win). You results will confirm it. If you are roleblocked, then just lynch me then for telling you to do this, since the plan failing like this would likely make me scum.

No matter who you are, if you believe you are town, then you should know we'll have the scum team caught by voting to not lynch as long as we run the test.

@That2User
Let's make this sequence: WF lives in DP2 via VTNL, RM/Earth is roleblocked, mafia kills the other in NP2, WF is lynched DP3 bc not cooperating, WF is town
Then that means Whiteflame is town, Earth is town, and RM is town. Since you would know you are town, you could easily conclude from your perspective it's Supa and I by POE. So the scum team would still be figured out. So that's not a concern either.

Wdym?
Are you concerned Whiteflame is town and then scum team kills him to stop the info from coming out? If that is your concern, then that would mean Whiteflame would flip town as cop, and then we have to info we need to eliminate RM next DP, since if Whiteflame is town RM is definitely scum, given what they have claimed. Seriously. This is the one test that would prove which investigative role (RM or Whiteflame) is fake claiming and RM is against it when it can be so easily done and impossible to counter if he really believes Whiteflame is scum anyway.
If you are concerned about mafia keeping Whiteflame alive to frame him, then that just leaves Whiteflame able to cop a mafioso and catch them, which I don't think the scum team would do, and even if they do, then them killing Whiteflame would mean that they have at least one of Earth's or RM's results to contend with. If they have roleblocker, they can't block both.
If Earth dies and RM gets roleblocked, then Whiteflame can be lynched anyways since a scum team (as I've already covered in the second paragraph of this post) would not leave him alive if Whiteflame is really a town cop, so then we would conclude Whiteflame is scum.
There's no way for this test to fail. Also, why not try it anyways? If you're wrong on Whiteflame being scum here we lose the game. By at least voting to not lynch, the test can be run and we'll know for sure.

@That2User
oh. I didn't understand what role That2 was then.
Regardless Whiteflame would still have both RM and Earth investigating him in this plan. He can't kill both if he's lying about being cop. Unless you want to argue a roleblocker would stop one of RM/Earth and scum team kills the other. That may be possible, but then if that happens you can still just lynch Whiteflame anyways for not cooperating.

Earth on me followed by me getting roleblocked or redirected is terrible af for me and I reckon this is the plan. I believe that Wylted roleblocked the most powerful scum.
Are you talking about whiteflame's plan here? If you really are town you have no reason to go against it

Boxing can't be town, read the description and notice the pattern:Disarming and/or incapacitating.
First off, I'm pretty sure rendering your opponent incapacitated is the whole point of Boxing. Second, if you really believe your own theory, where does your own alleged character even fit into this? You said it was about balance, yet your theory alleges disarming is the town theme. Balance is completely unrelated to disarming an opponent.
And this isn't even to mention that disarming an opponent can be a focus of any martial art. It's way too broad to come up as a legit theme analysis. More like a faux contribution that I fell for last DP.

You should be open to all possibilities and behaviour-reasoning and hone in from chaos and reactions piecing together like a complex puzzle. That's how Town should think and read. Scum goes from structured to chaotic.
I've been open to a lot of possibilities. I was even open towards Wylted towards the end of DP1Including the one where you are attempting to control the whole game. It makes more sense even now with Earth's role, who I townread given 1) Watch/Tracker is fairly common in Lunatic's games, 2) His result seems to match what would've happened in the night (Pie did say DP1 he would vote Wylted DP2 if CNerd was town, so in retrospective it makes sense Pie would vig Wylted). I am still in full belief of the idea that cop is just a stupid fake claim that no scum team (let alone someone as experienced as Whiteflame) would do. So that leaves you. I still think you made the whole thing up, AND to top it all off, we still don't have your results. Where are your results, RM?
