If vere and zipped are town:

Maol was voted by Soneji and Confirmed Town exodus

Soneji was only prod voted by Confirmed Town Alexem but I don't think he was at risk in any moment...

I think that between them I would go for Maol but Soneji is worryingly flying low

Chuggs just following fanto to the vere lunch worries me, as does canto


Fuck me this is the game I have feel the most uncertain, the not-claim claims don't help sorting my head either

I still just think a Vere lunch today answers a lot of my questions and gives me the best Scum hunting opportunities moving forward. He's set on me or Zipped being Scum, and I know he's wrong about me. I agree with what Turmoil said above, I honestly feel really unsure in this game, I'm kind of just latching onto my reads and hoping I'm right for today because I've done a lot of examining of things already and this is just where my mind ends up every damn time. I can't really find anything else that makes sense for now, this is just where I'm at and I can't see outside of it yet.

To reiterate my feelings once again:

TOWN
Chugg
Turmoil
Ketkat
Brian
Soneji
Mao
Zipped
Stan
Vere
SCUM

That's my list, I can't sort it in like any other ways yet. I would have to be completely wrong on my Town, or else everyone in my Middling Zone of Nullishness is Scum and my Scum reads should be there instead. It's hard to say right now without seeing at least one more flip.

I feel that fanto is protecting zipped, that argument for going for Vere seems like playing for the sake of his reads than town's

Ok, so let's just stop beating around the bush then.

Zipped is claiming as a Roleblocker obviously, he knows Alexem didn't kill Reki because he roleblocked Alexem last night.

Roleblocker can be either a Town or Scum role in this setup.

Vere is saying you are wrong about what you thought he was soft claiming.

Therefore, we have Zipped claiming as a Roleblocker and Vere claiming as nothing, both of which are NAI. My read and my curiosity still points me to Vere, but if we want to see whether Zipped is a Town or Scum Roleblocker, then we flip him.

Is that about it here for today?

I think its very convenient that zipped was unlucky enough to target Alexem who died

And he said he didn't breadcrumb that. Did he mention a SK before his claim(he would know there is one if telling the truth)? I don't remember

All I have to say is that I sincerely hope I'm right about you not being town, because you're really feeling yourself in this post and seem ready to push town to a chain.

If I was wrong about Vere, I have to reconsider my position, so far I thought he was the most valuable role between the people in contention so I leaned zipped, now? I don't know anymore. Zipped's claim still feels bad tho

I'm not a good Town leader, this is known. See Mafiera, Maple Street, Image Mafia, etc. I just talk so much that everyone calls me one. My reads are consistently trash.

Ok, so let me set up a different thought experiment:

Vere is Town now.

Stan is Town too.

Zipped is now a Scum Roleblocker.

Who else is Scum with Zipped?

Is Chugg a Godfather or an investigation-immune SK? Possible, but I think he's Town though.

Remaining players: Turmoil, Mao, Soneji, Ketkat, Brian.

Ket and Turmoil are voting for Zipped, probably not bussing behavior given the context unless they were really sure that Vere was going to go away today and their votes didn't matter.

Soneji, Brian, Mao. I would say Mao could be Scum with Zipped here. There's a chance that Brian is in on it and just fooling us with his newbie lines to stay in Town's good graces. That's a world I can see.

Would Mao and Soneji ever be on the same team? Was that D1 playstyle argument faked? I doubt it, pretty good performance if it was though.

-----

There, now I can see through some of this Vere fog finally.

Fantomas got it right!

I am town Roleblocker, and I chose to block Alexem last night. I based it on the weak defense for the potential vote flip at the end of day. I'll be completely honest, I didn't even entertain blocking anyone else at the time.

I had three hours, I was going to worry about breadcrumbing my role today, and the fact that I blocked a vigilante on the day that we had two deaths, one of which was the vigilante? blew my mind...

This post specifically. He's both sowing doubt about a perfectly reasonable town claim, implying that it's unlikely for multiple players to target the same person in a game where there's potentially a ton of PRs and he's ignoring that Zipped subbed in with barely any time left in the day, but pushing doubt on him for not breadcrumbing.

That's quite a bunch of concerns all popping up in one post.

Zipped has been playing mafia for years(and is very good at it)

I think he would understand that a blocked vig can't shoot and then something is going on there, even subbing in late

It's a pretty common scum strategy to say that their fake claim power targeted someone who has already died as it allows them to not be contested. It is a reasonable town claim, but it's also not really guaranteed to be true

That's not an accurate representation. Zipped had an at most 2/11 chance of hitting the same target as mafia or the potential SK, so being surprised he did shouldn't be shocking. It's possible, sometimes odds just work like that in games where events occur in an order that would be absolutely insane to speculate about, but I do find your insistence weird.

Good thing I never said it was guaranteed true. But it's reasonable to believe right now. Zipped didn't need to claim he targeted Alex, which is where most of the suspicion lies if he's scum because he targeted a player who died. There's no roles in the game that could counter a lie. Gives his claim more credibility for me.

Because being town, it's in my best interest to be open with whatever I have, and people blaming reki on alexem have a vested interest in keeping that information wrong (i.e they could be scum or the serial killer)
Do you think anyone in particular is trying to push this angle? I only remember some getting that initial impression because they forgot about the potential for an SK/didn't think Alex would shoot Reki but didn't discount the YOLO angle.

So since the town leader is on sick leave I think it's out to me now

👨👑

Let's lunch zipped
Your not-claim is just awfully convenient...
Do you think he's outright lying here? Scum can rand a role blocker so he can be telling the truth about his and possibly also the target and still be scum. While them targeting a dead player doesn't help in verifying their target it isn't that out there in a small game to match targets.

Zippedpinhead : Why didn't you roleblock say Vere who you were willing to wagon late?

If vere and zipped are town:

Maol was voted by Soneji and Confirmed Town exodus

Soneji was only prod voted by Confirmed Town Alexem but I don't think he was at risk in any moment...

This was mainly because I felt that the game would continue focus on Vere today, rightly so. And with potentially three scum teammates to submit moves/kills I figured someone else on that team would try something.
So you thought Vere had too much heat on them to be the likely faction killer? Sounds reasonable.

If he is scum and they have no role blocker, or they do and targeted someone else that would be hard for Zipped to explain that can be reason to lie. If he lies about blocking a townie he risks them having a role they know didn't get blocked. Could claim he roleblocked a scummate but that can also come with justification problems and just not wanting that association between scummates.

I'd say what gets me feeling okay with the claim is that the motive for revealing was in part to reveal the likelihood of an SK, but they haven't gone the route of pushing to find the SK. Mafia like to divert town away from them by trying to steer attention towards indies, especially SKs which pose a threat to their own lives.

Vere, you have no claim to give us, correct?

Zipped is claiming as a Town RB who blocked Alexem on N1, indicating that Alexem did not kill Reki, indicating that there is likely a SK out there which is how one of those two died.

I still want to lunch Vere out of the two. Call it a fucking tunnel, I don't care, I have been seeing him as the most likely Scum player all damn day, I want that flip.

Why should we think Vere is Town here today? Does anyone have a Town read on Vere? I really feel like even though people are pushing elsewhere, no one has spoken up to say "This is why I think Vere is Town and why we shouldn't vote for him today." Is there a reason why we should want to check whether Zipped is lying or not right now instead of going for Vere or someone else?

If we're going outside of Vere, Stan still looks like not a bad option to me. Vere says he thinks Stan is Town though and a bad idea to vote for. Ok, does anyone else think Stan is Town, or at the least, a bad vote today?

Did you know the game's setup yesterday? C9++?
I know it is right there on the first page, but mafiascum is blocked at work, so I didn't try to review it while the day was underway. To be honest, I never look at them, and didn't give it a second thought until someone mentioned that the setup prevented the possibility of a switcher.

Given that there's likely an SK around, they could be opposing scum. Zipped's play wouldn't make much sense from an SK though, so in that scenario the one without partners to save them is in the lead, and is the more immediate danger to thinning towns numbers as an extra kill at night.
