@Cerulean
I don't think Lunatic simply having a Neighborizer role is reason enough to call him Town without going back and being more thorough. Pockets can happen in neighborhoods. I have played multiple games and written (but never hosted, sadly) a setup with a Mafia aligned Neighborizer.
Thoughts on Lunatic’s behavior?
I'm more willing to believe that Moozer is in fact lynchproof, just because of how risky of a claim it is. As Mafia, you're essentially making yourself the "default" lynch of the Day and hoping that people can come to a conclusion so they don't resort to you. Moozer is not a person who has a strong thread presence, so in that world, he would have some reliance on his partner to make sure another lynch gets pushed through. All of *that* aside, I believe in his reaction to the WyIted kill, unless someone else wants to show me that Moozer is capable of that sort of... "Dumbtell" sounds mean, but something like that, as Mafia.
I don’t think he’s incapable of such a thing. I’m willing to give this particular thing a “null” but instantly concluding Wylted used his power is silly enough to mean someone faking it is quite possible. Moozer is far from one of the top players in this site, but he’s not THAT bad

A question does need to be asked whether or not Moozer and Earth being scum are mutually exclusive. Last DP I had concluded such a thing based on Moozer sussing Bullsih, and one of my reads had to be wrong.
But here, Moozer doesn’t even seem to sus Earth all that much. He helped get his claim, and then instantly believes it. I’m gonna say, no, they are not.
Also Earth just townreads Moozer for reasons

@Moozer325
hey look, Moozer finally posted something original. Sure took him some time. I guess I’ll respond to this point of his
Earth: Slight town. He's still in my PoE but I liked some of his page 1 posts. He could have easily targeted me for a Lynch after Mhar said my assumption was slightly suspicious
Mharman: Slight Scum, same reason as Earth, plus he also assumed WyIted was the NK
How can you put “same reason as Earth” and then scumread me while townreading him?
As for the Wylted being the NK thing. I checked in, glanced at the OP and saw wylted died, and then checked the most recent posts in the thread. Lunatic had said something about Wylted being the NK, and I posted my thoughts on the NK in post 9. Then I saw your post, read the OP completely, and the rest is history. If you ask me it’s an easier mistake to make than just assuming Wylted used his role.

Now he’s refusing to give Whiteflame any reason for his thoughts on Banana and Moozer- which are questionable enough- their early DP2s,
Their early DP2s are null at best*

Earth- lean scum.
So in DP1, I had a small scumread on him based on what I felt was just kinda flying under the radar. I know he lowposts, but last DP felt a little ridiculous. That being said, I was starting to feel better about him in the night phase (and worse about Whiteflame- lol imagine that), because in the few times when he did post, he often had a compelling point. Looking back- the scumread wasn’t reasonable for the time- I think I just got disturbed by how much he was flying under the radar.
But then this DP happens. Now he’s refusing to give Whiteflame any reason for his thoughts on Banana and Moozer- which are questionable enough- their early DP2s, his justification for Reznov being motion detector is suspect, and his selection of Whiteflame in the out makes no sense.
I’ll leave the first and third points alone because Whiteflame has already argued those, but I don’t think I’ve seen anyone make this second point.
Motion Detector is an informative role. Meanwhile Reznov hijacked Alex Mason’s brainwashing, and directed him to kill three people, tricking Mason in to seeing him when in reality, he had died in the prison escape. I would’ve expected something like a role that does something after death with Reznov, possibly a manipulation aspect, possibly a communication role, like a role that can vote or talk after death, maybe with only one user. The communication side of things didn’t even have to be after death. Since Reznov sacrificed himself for Mason (albeit with an ulterior motive) as protective role may have made some sense as well. “Influencing someone after death” is hardly a justification for an investigative role.
As for the role itself, meh. With the cop being the only investigative revealed, there is room for one more weaker investigative, but it’s not required.
There is one point in his favor I will mention here: His reaction to being pressured and scumread reminds me of last game, where he was town. It’s not enough to overcome the other points, but it’s worth noting. He has that over Moozer I guess.

Whiteflame- lean town. We’ve gone over strengthener and how justification can be stretched. Thinking about it more it seems like a more reasonable stretch than other stuff I’m seeing.
With regards to his behavior, I feel like he’s pushing harder on Earth than I would expect from scum Whiteflame. In general, his behavior this DP feels like a departure from the “permissibly scummy” version of Whiteflame Lunatic was talking about last DP. I like it.
Strengthening me is reasonable, since Wylted couldn’t have done anything with it and he had a null read on Lunatic at the time. Not what I would’ve done, but it’s within the reasonable range of choices imo.

Cerulean, slight town. A good chunk of this read is from Casey’s behavior, but Cerulean’s half is fine as well. More fine analysis, same as DP1. Of note this DP are the thoughts on Moozer. I dont agree but I can see the thought process at least. It’s not super compelling for a town read, but it’s at the very least original and thoughtful thought, if that makes sense. Certainly no red flags.

Moozer- Still scum. I called him out for parroting basically everything last DP, and my points from last DP have not changed. At the start of the DP I saw his whole thing about how Wylted has used his martyr. I expected this to be TMI since no one expected mafia to go after Wylted, so maybe Wylted really did use his martyr, and Moozer had just revealed it, since Wylted wouldnt have been mafia’s NK target. Obviously can’t be the case since people used their actions successfully. That being said, I’m not buying that the situation makes him town. It’s such an easy throwaway thing for him to say.
As far as the claim goes, no I don’t like it. Lynchproof in a game this small is already weird to me, and we also can’t verify it because it ends the DP. It looks like a “nooooo, don’t lynch me );” type of claim. I want his character and justification.
VTL Moozer

Banana- Still null. That last post of hers was the most I’ve gotten to read her off of all game. I don’t like the read on me, but I don’t hate it. I just explained why it’s wrong, but I dont think Banana paid enough attention to last game to know that. Was she even playing in last game? Idr. Could get POE’d out if I get too many townreads.

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.

@iamanabanana
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.

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

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

@whiteflame
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

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.
