Lunatic- I was already townreading him last DP, if you want to know why, go back through the recent posts on my profile and you’ll find it. DP2, Neighborizer with confirmation from Whiteflame to boot. Earth claimed the character I was expecting Lunatic to have, so I’m mildly curious about the justification for Lunatic’s role, but I’d sooner conclude it’s just a stretched justification than I would it’s a fake. I can probably go without knowing based on his behavior alone. His behavior this DP is more of the same stuff from DP1.

I did this last game. I’m honestly just bored of mafia and it feels like more of a chore than a fun game. I think I need to take a break for while so I can enjoy mafia in the future.
Even after checking in earlier I did nothing but other stuff bc I just didn’t feel like posting.
Anyway I’ll post some reads in a sec- they’ll be small blurbs.

In unrelated news, the Sucks just threw and I couldn't be happier.

First of all, we split the two games he was on the court- so you can't establish that; second of all, you lost the series 4-1- so there's a good chance Dame's teammates throw the series anyway, especially with what happened tonight. preemptive STFU

So I wouldn't know if I would've been able to or not?
What makes you so confident he used his martyr?

Looking through Wylted's posts, nothing sticks out. He doesn't really have any real scumreads or townreads, aside an early read on Bullish that I assume he flipped to at least a null, since he remarked Bullish hadn't given him a real reason to be townread. All we got from him at the end is that he's having a hard time reading people.
There is the interaction with Whiteflame, but it doesn't give me much to work off of. He had a question about strengthener and it was ambiguous what his thought process even was. If i had to guess, he was wondering if someone strenghtened could still move if he used his ability. All Whiteflame did to react was say alright twice, so not much to go off of there.

I’m a daytime role so nothing from me. Most likely explanation is that WyIted used his Martry

Yknow I’ve never played BO1 but this game makes me wanna try it at some point. Story is completely spoiled for me, but whatever. I’ve had 15 years at this point anyway
Been thinking about older games in general. Modern stuff just ain’t it

I haven't really said anything about my justification so far and it looks like it's gotten more attention overnight. From where I'm sitting, it doesn't really fit. When we did that Phoenix Wright game a while back, I recall my partner fake claimed Strengthener using a character whose whole thing was drinking coffee, which made more sense and came after a revelation that there was a town RB, which made it more believable. In this game, the justification is relatively weak (it does talk specifically about his strength and not really empowering others, though I guess you could argue that Sergei's efforts empowered Mason - that's me reading into the justification, it's not what it literally says) and I don't have any other claims to use as a basis for the existence of a Strengthener.
This doesn’t deviate from his behavior in Bo Burnham
I'm not trying to make a WIFOM argument here about how I would have used the Strengthener if I was scum, I know that's BS. It would absolutely not be a first for me to come up with a weak fake claim and then try to pass it off as a poorly written PM. I'm just articulating the points of weakness in my claim because being straightforward about it is better than getting defensive over it at this point.
This deviates, however.

Not a whole lot of defense of the claim itself, but rather a defense of him making the claim.

Moozer or Bullish + Earth, I guess Ceruelan, Banana, and Whiteflame are floating around there somewhere
I do feel Whiteflane would have a sense of some obligation to defend d his claim more if he were scum.
The few things Earth has posted have been quality at least… can’t really say that for Bulliish
I would love more active posting from Banana. That’s about it.
Maybe I’ll reorganize it like this
T
1. Lunatic
2 Wylted
3 Whiteflame
T4 Cerulean
T4 Banana
T6 Earth
T6 Bullish
8 Moozer

Honestly will probably abandon the scumread on Moozer if I don’t like Bullish’s claim. I don’t think they are paired

Moozer train going nowhere and I think yall should consider it more.
I guess I’m down to get something more conclusive on Bullish tho
Unvote VTL Bullish

I could see him being teammates with Moozer, with Bullish, less so but it’s not as bad of a pairing as Moozer/Bullish.
I think I’d drop him below Bullish on the list.

I don’t like the idea of a Moozer/Bullish pairing though.
I think I’m wrong on someone and my ranking is off as a result. Def a missing variable somewhere in there.

Have thought about Cerulean a little, but feel meh cause nothing sticks out except for the unexplained tr of Moozer. I’ll say he’s given some decent thought although I don’t agree. Casey looked ok I guess. I did give that tip of the hat earlier.

As for Luantic, hard town. I think his early interaction with Whiteflame is towny enough, and I’m somewhat confident he didn’t have a fake claim ready at that point to shut the whole softing thing down. Last game where he made a bold claim is fresh in my mind, but I just don’t think this is the game where it’s happening.

@iamanabanana
Feel like Banana and Whiteflame’s replies to Casey are a little off. Hm.
In the meantime, I should clarify this. I felt both’s responses were a little fencesitt-y.
In the case of Banana, I think she misunderstood the question bc she’s talking about full claims, not softing, so I feel like giving it a derp pass for the time being.
Reading Whiteflame’s again, it’s not exactly the fencesitting I wondered about when I first read it. So whatever. Like yeah he says he sees both sides, but he takes that thought and says something interesting in the third paragraph.

Why is Moozer your top townread? Am I just missing shit that’s just obvious to yall or something?

@Lunatic
So, what is your problem with my read on Moozer?
Since I posted my scumread, we just witnessed him parrot a much-stated sus on Bullish (almost feel like my take was copied and taken further) and then sus Wylted the second Whiteflame questions something Wylted did. And then there’s the whole “I think scum is inexperienc- oop, nvm” thing. I’m not inspired.

The character is accurate enough to what happened though, ultimately I don’t like the justification for strengthener, but my own role kind of is a stretch in its own justification imo so I can’t be too overly harsh on that.
This I can agree with. Normally I think of a strengthener as someone who gives someone else strength, not someone who does all the heavy lifting themselves. I’m not surprised at the idea of stretched justifications here either.
Man I’m a bit torn on this claim at the moment, my current thoughts are that it’s likely fake, as strengthener is also a role that is commonly fake
I can agree with this as well.
and I think it’s wierd this character was included in general
This I dont agree with. With how few characters Pie had to work with, I can see him scraping the bottom of the barrel to try and find a character who fits a role.

I notice when Wylted is town he usually just says shit to see if he can get a reaction out of people and his page 1 feels no different.And he doesn't do this as Mafia?
Not in my experience, no. I’m not sure he’s even privy to this tell of his.

This. Is null from Bullish. Isn't it.
I took it as some sort of sarcastic joke, but with whatever the hell he’s doing this DP, I just don’t know.
Im kind of starting to sus him, but I think I kinda wanna let him cook just a bit more. I just don’t know man

Is it weird to answer a question that my own "slot" asked? It's tough to say for sure, but I think scum would want more softclaims rather than less. Considering that there don't seem to be a lot of "important" characters, the space that scum has for fake claiming might be pretty tight, so getting a gist of what everyone else has would be fairly important for them.
Oh that’s interesting. So instead of limiting their fake claims by it, they could be getting a more accurate idea of their options. I honestly didn’t consider that point.
That leads to a question though: Why give an answer when asking the question? If it is a scheme, I get the sense it can only be for the benefit of a teammate who never softed and now knows a good chunk of the dead characters are taken (since we cancelled the softing and I assume the hypothetical teammate would wait for nearly all of town to soft)
That seems like a lot of effort for only half of the scum team though, so as intriguing as the idea is, I’m not convinced… especially since it would lock the other mafioso into a soft before getting an accurate idea of said options. Yeah now that I think it through, it can’t be the case.
I do think this could reveal that in the nightmare scenario that this is a ploy, Whiteflame and Wylted are unpaired.
There are probably ways of doing it that are tougher for wolves to fake their way through, though. I might take a closer look and see if there's a good way to soft without giving too much away after I finish catching up.
As someone who tried this and failed, good luck with that

With Whiteflame it’s that I feel like he’s trying to push the pace of this day phase in a way that’s “permissibly” scummy. I was already concerned with his initial suggestion that we should be careful claiming (said the same thing I did about the 4 questions mafia have) to then suggest a soft claim method that allows mafia a very easily identifiable way to narrrow down claims.
Whiteflame isn't aggressive at all as scum, I'll give you that.
As for the contradiction you apparently see, I'm not reading it like that. The whole point of his idea was to find a soft that didn't reveal a whole lot of information... which would be consistent with his concern about revealing too much information.
I for one think the softing was in theory a great way to limit fake claims, considering how few characters seem to be in BO1's plot, from what I'm reading on the wiki. The only reason we can't really do it here is because there's no good way to split it.

With Wylted it’s more of his thoughts and reactions towards softing and his being willing to freely claim info of his own real, I feel like he was expecting or hoping for town confirmation, when it’s been explicitly pointed out that soft claiming in general is harmful with mafia having a whipping 4 questions. Him softing early doesn’t give me a ton clear for him either, there are obscure enough characters to claim in this theme.
My townread on Wylted is based on other stuff, but on this point I have a thought: Since the softing eventually did prove itself to be a bit much (given your concerns), wouldn’t that also make it pretty effective at limiting scum’s fake claims? If so, why be so quick to offer his alive/dead status if he is scum?
If either of them (Whiteflame or Wylted) knows something we don’t, maybe, but I don’t have any idea what that could be. The only thing I can think of is one of them having a fake claim ready off the rip, but I think that’s unlikely. I think you have one point on Whiteflame in particular (the “as scummy as allowed” thing) but that’s about it. I’ll admit I didn’t care much for his answer to Casey’s question as well- but it’s hard for me to have anything but some kind of townread when the softing play looks like it follows a real thought process and limits himself pretty hard as scum.
