Searching for a replacement for Irreversible...
As it seems you're more focused in confirm your PRs than finding scum, so I'll propose this, each of our PRs should target anybody, they won't tell who they are going to target, if we plan something like in D1, scum will be acting with too much freedom, and by doing this, they won't have any advantage imo, and even make their NK fail. The results will be reported in D3: if there are no weird/impossible interaction between PRs, then they will be likely confirmed, in this case, pieguy/fart should claim first, then RB as it's the only one confirmed town.
Vote: No Lynch
Even in the worst case, we'll end 4:3, yes, LyLo, but we'll have 100% chance of hitting scum, as scummy people will clearly stand out, even find a liar in the PRs, if there is any.
Obviously the No Lynch can be changed if we catch a scum suspect.
Those who want me lynched, feel free to do so, but I'm still curious how some of you don't have a second scum suspect besides me and everybody seems to be against me. It seems Irre won't tell his scum suspects to make a bit clearer this, we could wait for his replacement though.

Honestly, I'm still unsure about fart/pieguy after I realized my plan was flawed. I could instead shoot pieguy and he JKs me. That would probably be better. I'm more curious of Irre now. Perhaps he's asking for replacement after getting mafia this time? Perhaps it seems cruel for me to use his inactivity as a way to suspect him.

I am both too lazy to calculate it for you and I am curious as to whether this is a desperate plan (anti-town as hell too due to many factors) to keep you off the chopping block or a thought out plan with good reasoning as to benefit the town.
I'm not sure why, but I'm still kinda suspicious of fart and pieguy. Pieguy/Hika for that claim out of nowhere and fart for saying watcher and not tracker. Of course host can add variation, but the wiki page stack the deck mentions only tracker. Perhaps two safe claims for scum to hide in PR? Just some thought :S
Even OP doesn't make sense to me
Changing a goon to ninja will make kills submitted look as though they target no one to both tracker and watcher.
If a ninja submit's a kill, they will appear as targetting no one to trackers only.
Watchers on the other hand won't matter in this sentence because watchers can't see ninja's action in the first place. Watchers would only see a person get targetted.
Either OP needs fixing or fart/pie lied

fart, I never outright said that you are scum. I just said that you are more likely to be onethan pieguy, due to roles.
an 100% confirmation of you is basically impossible at this point. I think we should do what RB said and confirm pieguy. you should target whoever you feel like, basically, and play like a normal unconfirmed watcher, since there isn't much else you could do to proof your townieness.
also DD brought up the interesting point of fart and pieguy directly tunneling on him. I think that it is suspicious that our two PRs who probably expect most people to never ever suspect them seriously do something like tunneling directly on one person?
given that DD is the mainsuspect, and yea he flip flops, this is still a valid point. of course he could be scum that tries to wriggle himself out. or he is a townie that really just wants to point out how dumb tunneling is at this point.

RB, in an open set up, and if it is forced, it is supereasy for watcher to fakeclaim.
oh there was a nightkill? I just watched over this person that got killed and player x targeted him/her! lynch him!
I mean, sure, he is most likely not alive anymore the next day, but his deed is done.
we are all suspicious of fart and pieguy, but we shouldn't let others slip by either. I think Haneii is pretty town, at least to me. Jinxy is null, maybe leaning slightly scum. DD is scummy, yes, but like I said, he is too convenient to really be scum. and irre... well, let's hope his replacement will be more helpful than this mess.

Well, it just means the watcher doesn't see the ninja kill if he managed to watch the NK target. That's basically how they work, and also why you asked fart to try and watch rEdo while you shot himRaging Bull wrote:

To confirm if pieguy is JK.
Also I'm saying the way OP worded it is suspicious to me enough for scum to fake claim from it.
it would be really cool if we had a list of PRs town could get like the list that scum has...
because except vigilante, non of the claimed PRs (and BRBPs flipped cop) was in the original set up. I think the strength of the set up was while there is the confusion as to what scum chose and how many powers they chose, town at least knows who could aid them. which means much less likely "convenient claims" like the both here.

but please, sakura, don't post a list now, it's way way too late for that and it would really ruin the game.
She doesn't plan to. She already posted it in second page.
Yet everything just goes back to OP for me.
Shoot:Sakura
sakura biggest scum suspect lolol
but really, I think she missed the point of stack the deck as a set up. there weren't JK and watchers for a reason. in fact the only doctorlike role had the twist to it that it would die if it used its power to protect somebody.
also the masons as two confirmed townies that are added to the 2-5 PRs of town. in the original set up, innocent child aka modconfirmed townie was one of the PRs town could get from the 2-5.
anyway, instead of criticizing sakura, we should focus on the game.

I'm not really criticizing her. It's just that I found that the way fart and pie claim could be fake claim with the way Sakura worded the OP.

fartownik wanted a closed setup so that's what I gave, to avoid people using the wiki to find out the roles I stated that the roles on the wiki may or may not appear and that roles not on the wiki may or may not appear, If watcher targets the ninja's target even tho the target dies the watcher sees no one, hope that's clear enough.
Please let me know if you see any mistakes.

@RB: 'tunneling'? I've stated 3 of my scumspects - they were all 3 equally null for me, Dake was one of them. pieguy voted him thus I have no objections not to do the same, I have to vote someone in the end. He seems scummy to me so I vote him, I don't really care how that looks. I learned to listen to my guts from previous games, so I just do it again with a hopefully positive outcome. If you have a better read/good gut feeling on someone - let me know, I might rethink my vote over.
Tanz said tunneling, not me :<
Gah, let's just say that post was directed to both of you. You posted a real lot in the last hour :p
My post was directed mainly at how OP was confusing and made me suspect you and pieguy for possible fake claim.
Anyways, I'm curious on people saying DD flip flop, which posts are you guys talking about?

Page 19. Read his posts from there and then concentrate on the previous ones. He says the NH's plan is anti-town, he didn't even do the same when he put his doubts in it for the first time (in the first posts after NH proposed his tactic). He just suddenly realized NH's tactic is anti-town, pretty convenient I must say. Pushing him (NH) like this is also one of the reasons he got lynched D1.
Also I'm going to sleep now (skipped sleeping tonight), won't be around for some hours.

okay I have no idea what to even think anymore @_@ Given a Ninja, I always thought a Watcher was plausible (although fartownik might be mafia still)
We need to hurry up and do something instead of arguing over anything Sakura did w/ the setup. DakeDekaane blamed inactivity the first time I accused him which is a pretty common mafia excuse from what I can remember (hiding behind inactivity, etc.) Also, voting no-lynch is never a good idea unless it's MyLo. JInxy still hasn't been posting very much, which is the same as I remember him always doing as mafia. There hasn't really been very much new information.

I've stated my view on the suspects and the possible scenarios depending on what Dake flips. Nothing more to add from here. The non-voters should clarify their suspects and votes right now, otherwise we will stay like this with days of inactivity until the deadline. I really hate such boring mafia parts.
I finally found his flip flop. p/2396642/ (Thanks Jinxy)
Still not entirely sure about DD.
DD, why did you say he was town first and then anti town later?

Internet went off some tiime ;~;
Elaborating as you requested:
Suppose we have 4 town and 3 scum, in three scenarios RB shot a townie:
Scenario 1: Scum hit a confirmed town.
1 confirmed (either Rantai/RB)
2 PR (pieguy/fart)
4 non-PR (Haneii/Jinxy/Irre/DD/Tanz)
I'm assuming Tanz is town and the two somehow confirmed too, that left us 3 non-PR (I want to believe so), yes I threw the WIFOM thing, but I'm believing too much in them. Depending on who gets shot, it's easy to lynch by PoE, even if scum is in the 2 somehow unconfirmed PR.
Scenario 2: Scum hit pieguy/fartownik.
2 confirmed (either Rantai/RB)
1 PR (pieguy/fart)
4 non-PR (Haneii/Jinxy/Irre/DD/Tanz)
The less likely as scum would want to make WIFOM. But basically the same as above,
Scenario 3: Scum hit a vanilla:
2 confirmed (either Rantai/RB):
2 PR (pieguy/fart):
3 non-PR (Haneii/Jinxy/Irre/DD/Tanz)
We have scum in PR as it'd be too perfect that the three remaining non-PR are scum together. We'd pick either pieguy/fart looking at their behaviour. Take in mind that if pieguy is scum, fart is scum.
Why I said 100%? Scum needs to convince 1 more people (or 2 in case Traitor isn't recruited). We'll just have to look for the voting pattern.
But that's only if we are 4:3 in D3.
About my flip-flop thingy, I explained a bit below that: p/2397890

@Dake: concentrate more on the potential targets for the lynch today instead of writing up the possible scenarios of tommorrow. We must focus on minimalizing the possibility of lynching scum today and what you're doing is not helpful at the moment. What are your main scumspects? Also, what do you think about Irre and JInxy?
So we're just going to assume that the claimed PR are town? No.
The scum will almost definitely hit RB or I because we're confirmed. If they don't then they're shooting themselves in the foot (which is fine by me).
About you PR's; I'd rather RB didn't shoot anyone tonight, pieguy should jail one of us (RB/me) fart, watch one of us (pie, me or RB).
Vote: DD
I've got nothing else to work with.

Fine I won't shoot. I'll listen to you this time since I didn't in D1. I don't want to be roasted beef for D3
not shooting is better:
currently 3:6 -> mislynch -> 3:5 -> NK -> 3:4 = LyLo
if you shoot and miss it's 3:3 and we lose ><
even if we lynch mafia, it'd be better to not shoot since it'll be the same thing with one less mafia and one less townie, either way shooting wrong after any mislynch will be a loss.

hm, I am still unsure about DD.
dammit, jinxy is just one hour away from being prodable ;_; I would've liked him to elaborate on the situation, since he didn't post that much this day.
haneii also didn't post in nearly 2 days, but I think she is town, so no prodding measures for now.
and irre... well I don't think we can prod/pressure him, since he doesn't play anymore.
so effectively we can't get any information out of anyone who didn't already explained himself. I will hold back my vote for now (sorry fart :/), as I think that outright killing DD now is a bad idea.

also yea, RB shouldn't shoot. maybe if we lynch scum, but even then probably not.
Then please elaborate. Why not DD? Who else if not him? Just provide something. The lynch is always an open case until the hammer, even with 3 votes on the suspect. If you have some good notices then elaborate.Tanzklaue wrote:

we are 9 people. it takes 5 to lynch.
voting DD now would make him L-1, and I don't think we should lynch him yet, as long as we still have over 3 days until the deadline. 3 days in which irre maybe gets replaced and we finally can get something out of him that makes sense. 3 days in which someone might slip. 3 days to discuss theories, to find out more. it wouldn't benefit town if we would let this time slip by unused.
I think it would be nice to hear explained thoughts from everyone, and how they think about lynching DD preemptively, stuff like that. voting DD doesn't make sense, because I don't think that even more pressure on him would lead to anything productive from his side.
we still can lynch DD later if nobody else is as suspicios as him. but for the moment, I think we should at least not end the day right now.

that's a good idea, I'm perfectly fine with that 
I just hope it doesn't become inactive...
I definitely think we should wait for Irre to be replaced, cause that'll be one extra piece of information we can get as opposed to ending day now. the only problem is, at this rate replacing Irre might be impossible ><

I don't get the DD scenario honestly, that seems to be running on the assumption that we No Lynch today and RB misfires, which will bring us to lylo tomorrow, and we'd hit the same thing if we mislynch and RB doesn't fire.
Also, assuming we lynch scum, it goes to 2:6, NK brings it to 2:5, and a misfire (71%) drops it to 2:4 which is mylo and effectively 2:3 lylo since the best course of action is no-lynch. Yeah, not shooting tonight seems good.

Welcome.
Greetings.
I will read up at some point later today. My brain isn't in thinking mode for the day yet.
I've skimmed a bit of the past page before I went to sleep last night and it looks like the situation's a bit involved. If someone could summarize what that situation is right now, it would help my reread.

We all claimed our roles in D1. From alive, we have: 2 confirmed Townies (Raging Bull as Vigilante and Rantai as Mason), 2 claimed, not-yet confirmed PRs (me as Watcher and pieguy as Jailkeeper) plus 5 unconfirmed Vanilla Townies (JInxyjem, Haneii, DakeDekaane, Tanzklaue, you).
Day1's lynch was a Vanilla Townie - NoHitter whom came up with the plan of massclaiming. N1 RB used his Vigilante and missed, killing another Vanilla Townie - rEdo. There was also a third kill from the Mafia themselves, a Mason + Cop (a confirmed Townie) - BRBP.
We're struggling about today's lynch at the moment, leaning for DakeDekaane with 3 votes on him already (it takes 5 vote to hammer and end the day). We were waiting for Irreversible's replacement before hammering though, and here you are, the fifth element (
). Reading all the pages is a must if you want to catch up with the game, we will give you some time for that. Please provide your read on the situation when you're done.

Excellent. That helps me quite a bit, actually. There's a few notes I have just from that information before I start reading. I have no idea at this point if they were already discussed or not, so bear with me.
1. PR lynch today is bad for obvious reasons. If this HAS been discussed, the first person to bring this up gets townpoints from me.
2. Since there was no extra information given about the Watcher or Jailkeeper, I'm assuming that the former saw nothing (and it's already obvious the jailkeeper didn't protect anyone). I'm going to think about this while I read; I have a few ideas on how to go about this N2, but this relies a lot on my own reads, so I won't go into it quite yet.
3. I would roughly estimate that one unproven PR is town and the other is scum. I can see both of them being town, but I don't see both of them being scum as very likely.
Alright, going to read up. I'll give my updated thoughts when I'm finished.

In the meantime, there's a few hours less than 3 days until deadline (2 days 20 hours to be exact) if you need i can extend the deadline by 24 hours to give you time to catch up
That shouldn't be necessary; I'm already halfway through. Chances are I'll be fully caught up within the next 1-2 hours.
Okay, going to take a break for a little bit now that I'm done with reading Day 1.
Here are my current reads:
fartownik and pieguy1372 are both probably town. I can't really choose one that's more likely to be scum if there is one between them: fartownik's claim is the single safest one (information roles in general are the safest in this set-up; they literally cannot be confirmed town or scum while alive), while pieguy made scummier stances in day 1.
I disapprove of the current wagon right now.
Haneii is my first choice for scum. Jinxy is my second choice for scum. Tanzklaue is almost certainly town.
I'll get more into these when I have read the rest, and a vote will accompany it. The one thing I've seen held against Dake in day 1 is actually looking more town to me. Yes, he flipped, but the flip is actually town-motivated rather than scum-motivated.
More soon.

Day 1 notes:
There's a big problem with NoHitter's version of the plan which makes Jinxy's posts about the advantages useless: Mafia can falsely claim PRs with actually pretty low risk. They know exactly how many PRs the town have, so they just falsely claim how many the town don't have so that it adds up to five. There's virtually no risk in that, and in fact only gives the mafia any kind of risk when the PRs have to be named. Not only that, but it leaves the amount of PRs completely ambiguous for town. Overall, I think this play benefited scum far more than it did town. If the mafia ended up choosing daychat, it would be even easier to manipulate this to their own ends.
Tanzklaue gets townpoints for pointing this logic train out very early. It would have been very easy for scum to go along with this, but he actively went against it.
The other main point given for this massclaim is that scum will be a target after all the PRs die. This is a completely void point, since scum wouldn't dare put the amount of claims above five. No matter how many PRs end up dying, the others are no more or less confirmed than before by that alone.
Okay, now I see that the masons weren't included in the PR list. This changes things in my head quite a bit. Since now I know that mafia didn't inflate the amount of PRs to five like I had thought, I'm starting to feel that every PR is genuine.
NoHitter's plan of going for suspicious claims, then going among the non-PRs is... iffy. It's a lot more prudent to confirm as many of the PRs as possible (and/or catch scum in a lie) while lynching among the townies. There's really no reason to go for PRs first, ESPECIALLY doubles. Doubles should definitely wait until later in the game except for mason pairs.
Sadly, NoHitter and fartonik are completely correct at the bottom of page seven. While the plan itself was completely suboptimal, the worst possible scenario is to stop it halfway through.
BRBP's avatar scared the hell out of me.
I'm not really liking Haneii. His posts have been pretty off up to where I'm at; page 13. His push on Tanzklaue was rather meh and his current push on Hika is also pretty meh. Him stating that everyone else that isn't confirmed town or Tanz/NH as null is really meh too.
Jinxy is starting to ping to me as well.
The Jailkeeper claim is really town.
DakeDekaane's post trying to put suspicion on Hika for the JK claim is pinging me.
pieguy1372 trying to guess at BRBP's role in his catch-up post is giving me red flags. Scum are much more interested in knowing what BRBP's role is. I'm still leaning town on this slot, but that can easily change if this slot pings me any more.
Okay, from what I can tell, DakeDekaane is getting fire on page 20 for saying that BRBP shouldn't claim his role. Dake's stance on that is actually the most town one. Like I said above, scum are more interested in knowing BRBP's role right away: Scum have an unknown that could easily get them caught no matter what they try, while town would want it hidden because that's information that's virtually useless to them.

Everything below the line is day 2 stuff.
fartownik claiming a no-result N1 is HUGE. I'll get into this more in my next post after I've finished my thoughts. I agree that jailing BRBP was the most optimal play, but what ended up happening is definitely not a bad alternative.
I'm honestly not getting a whole lot reads-wise from the Day 2 stuff. What I said in my last post still applies. I'm going to do some thinking now.

This post is my suggested plan of attack for night choices. I promise I will stop posting for a bit after this and let other people start having posts on this page.
We have prime opportunities to get information right now. Assuming that both PRs are town, which I believe is the case, then we are in great shape. This is the best option for N2:
fartownik watches one confirmed town (mason), while pieguy1372 jails the vigilante. Most likely, the watched target is going to die.
There's several possibilities for mason death:
If we lynch scum today and fartownik gets a tangible result, the result is lynched. Either we lynch scum, or we lynch town and fartownik gets vigged that night (either dying or being confirmed bulletproof or JOAT). Either way, we get a scum.
If we lynch scum today and fartownik gets no result: Still a 2v5 endgame, which is pretty nice. We don't have a whole lot of information from this alone, but my suggested plan for N3 still works.
If we lynch town today and fartownik gets a tangible result, then it's a gamble. We can either lynch one of fartownik and his target (50-50 change) or one of the people that aren't fartownik and his target (also a 50-50 chance). Either way, it gets kind of rough here.
If we lynch town today and fartownik gets no result: I'll be honest; this is a really bad situation. A town win from here would be really impressive.
This is listed from best to worst.
I won't go into what happens if someone besides the watched target dies. There's so many possibilities that it's completely useless trying to analyze it before it happens. Plus, we still have two confimred town at this point. Even if we end up lynching town, we are still more likely to lynch scum than town the following days. Watcher on jailkeeper and jailkeeper targetting a townie without revealing who works well here.
---
Either way, assuming that we reach N3 and the mason dies N2, the only real thing both PRs should do is to target the vigilante.
If we follow this plan, then we will have at least one confirmed town in D4. The only way we won't is if, again, both unproven PRs are scum, in which case we just win the game (since there would only be two scum left).
I fully recommend we keep the vigilante alive as long as possible instead of the mason. Keeping our options open is always a plus.

Good piece of content, Caligno. Good replacement for Irreversible.
Do you really think Mafia would just go over Rantai if they knew I'm currently watching him? That'd be a direct expose of scum, you know. If they know I'm going to Watch Rantai they will probably just change the target to avoid getting caught (unless I'm missing something?). If this is done then me or pieguy would most likely be nightkilled as we are the remaining PRs without any protection.CalignoBot wrote:

I might not have explained well enough why that is the most likely result. I think I explained my whole thought process behind that, albeit in a somewhat messy way, but I can explain that part of it in another post if it's still confusing.
Will be unavailable for approximately 14hours
Well, it'd be nice if you elaborated on this. Why would scum risk getting caught (or more like, conciously going into a trap) by killing a target aimed by Watcher?CalignoBot wrote:

I assume it's because if they shoot you or pieguy (or a VT if they're retarded) instead, then we'll still have 2 alive confirmed-towns which significantly pushes the odds into our favour.Rantai wrote:
The scum will almost definitely hit RB or I because we're confirmed. If they don't then they're shooting themselves in the foot (which is fine by me).
But, are those 'odds into Town favor' worth more than still having all Mafia hidden? (I mean for scum of course)
There's several possible reasons why scum would go for the mason anyway.
1. If they have a ninja; they can kill off a confirmed town while giving no concrete information in return.
2. If fartownik is scum, he can just make up whatever result he wants. This is the other possibility that makes this not concrete.
3. If neither of the above are true, then the other options aren't that great either:
a. fartownik is the target of the nightkill; worst possible target, as now pieguy is confirmed town. Even if we used up our mislynch today, there's 3 confirmed town and 4 unconfirmed town, 3 of which are scum. That's giving town an unnecessary advantage.
b. pieguy dying reduces options. Keeping both unconfirmed PRs alive helps scum because the possibility of both being scum is a really powerful advantage for them to keep around. If town suddenly knows for a fact that there are a minimum of two mafia in the VT pile, then there's no inherent risk of lynching from the VT pile twice since there's not a chance that there's only one scum in that pile (which having both PRs alive would prevent). It would have the same type of situation as both PRs being alive where there would be a choice to go for the PR or VT, but it happens where there's more information present.
c1. Shooting one of the VTs; both PRs are town: This is extremely risky, especially if both of the PRs are town. The next night, the Jailkeeper can choose a target of his choice (without making note of it beforehand in thread) and the Watcher targets one of the other PRs in the same way (also without making note of it beforehand). Suddenly, in this situation, the scum have to rely on dumb luck for a kill to go through without the person committing it getting caught. There's a 50% chance the kill will just be straight-up blocked (4 VTs going into night, 3 VTs going into day, 2 VTs going into night), and even then there's a 33% chance of the Watcher catching that scum anyways unless there's a ninja. Whether one or both are scum is moot; it's a very risky situation to get into.
c2. Shooting one of the VTs; both PRs are scum: Honestly, this really isn't much different than if they shot the mason. The only real change is that one of the confirmed town dies a day later. Mafia literally cannot allow BOTH the vigilante and mason to get to day 4 (assuming 2 deaths a day cicle, this is when there's 5 people left). That is literally just making the game difficult for yourself needlessly.
However, I don't think it's overly likely that both PRs are scum. Just having the game play out the way it did with a farto-pieguy-? scumteam is a huge enough risk that I don't think it would've been even attempted by very many people. Scum (non-PR group) really don't have any good options if they don't have a ninja.
1. If they have a ninja; they can kill off a confirmed town while giving no concrete information in return.
2. If fartownik is scum, he can just make up whatever result he wants. This is the other possibility that makes this not concrete.

Hi CalignoBot o/
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't see Mafia targeting mason if they know they'll be watched (Yeah, you listed other scenarios and their odds - which, by the way, get better if we accidentally lynch town today - but mafia would prob jump at taking those risks than willingly falling into this town "trap" ie: letting themselves get caught by the watcher). And if they do go ahead with the kill, they'll probably have a ninja so watching for them is pointless.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We need a better night plan for the PRs if we lynch town...
[In preparation for if we hit sucm today] We should probably decide on who we all think is the next most suspicious (right after the person we lynch today) and that person should be targeted by Jailkeeper.

First of all, sorry for the long inactivity, I got all my pending stuff irl done, so I'm quite free now, welcome CalignoBot, nice summary o/
Though I think it's pretty late I'll respond what fartownik asked:
Irre was quite inactive and gave me scumread due his unexplained vote on NH, but now that he got a replacement, I'll be reading him until I get a clear read, for now, CalignoBot looks townie for bringing a really nice summary and some points to considerate, I shall agree on keeping Watcher on Rantai.
Jinxy is a bit null for me, leaning town for explaining what town could obtain from NH's plan, but then he stayed a bit quiet.
Now:
And why did you say things get better by accidentally lynching town? Accidentally lynching a town means a lynching a VT, yes, it increases the odds for town, but if scum hit a confirmed town, we'll be 1 confirmed, 2 PR and 4 non-PR, assuming we'd not take the risk of making RB shoot, which would be pretty the same as today, tho we would look for the behaviour of everyone. The thing that frightened me a bit is how you are wording that. (I know I stated the same scenario before, but it's too different when it's caused by mislynching than a vig shot).

Mafia's odds. Specifically the the odds mentioned in CalignoBot's scenarios where someone besides Mason is targeted. If we lynch town the odds in some of those scenarios get better for mafia, so I don't think they're a good argument for "Mafia will most likely target the mason tonight". I don't necessarily agree with these odds, DakeDekaane, I'm just posting my thoughts about them.

@Haneii: If the mason ends up surviving the night, then that's completely fine with me. The logic of not bothering with watching one of the confirmed town doesn't work. It gives scum an ultimatum where they have to either give up one of their own for it or let both confirmed town live if they don't have a ninja. At the bare minimum, we narrow down possibilities. I can't think of a reliable way to get information from the night actions if we don't do this.
Telling the Jailkeeper who to target offensively is not a good idea either; all scum has to do is select someone else to make the kill. If we're doing it at all, the jailing will be secret.
I'll explain Jinxy scumread when I skim through a second time. I have a really bad habit of noting things for myself without any context whatsoever.

Like I posted earlier, I'm assuming the traitor was NOT recruited.

We can't assume that the traitor wasn't recruited for planning night actions, though. We have no knowledge of that, so it always has to be taken into account.
Jinxy scumread is on the page 13 post. The statement that he is suspicious of people without finding them scummy doesn't sound genuine to me.
Wait, which parts are? The things I can remember agreeing with are the massclaim and the reads on Dake.Rantai wrote:

Also, I didn't vote D1 because I felt NH was town and at that point he was already at like L-1 or 2, so if someone else had to talk, he could first before ending the day.

This is a negative proof fallacy, if mafia did recruit the traitor, then your plan falls completely flat and we've wasted the JK for the night. We have no way of telling right now so this sounds like an attempt to waste the JK.
The fact that Haneii also voted on me right after Rantai while claiming the reason was in her previous post, is really raising my suspicions because she could have voted any time instead of waiting for another person.
Vote: Haneii
Why do we have to keep it in account? At the very least it'll help us confirm that the traitor was recruited (In that case I'm going to guess their other power is Day chat, so we won't have to worry about a ninja anymore).CalignoBot wrote:

Yes, nearly everything I'm saying is based on assumptions, but so our yours, CalignoBot.
To add on: If you're wrong and the traitor was recruited, you also just gave him a free kill for the conf town since checking/protecting them needs both JK and Watcher

Day 2 ends in little over a day. I work all day and only have the evenings to posts...so yeah. Why I waited to vote? I wanted to hear more for others (including you) before making my vote.Jinxy wrote:
The fact that Haneii also voted on me right after Rantai while claiming the reason was in her previous post, is really raising my suspicions because she could have voted any time instead of waiting for another person.
Free kill? How do you know who to protect?Jinxy wrote:
To add on: If you're wrong and the traitor was recruited, you also just gave him a free kill for the conf town since checking/protecting them needs both JK and Watcher
I'd make the JK protect somebody with no telling who, wasting a night just to know if there's a Traitor or not is useless, and allows scum to throw WIFOM.
Even if they didn't recruit Traitor, they could mislead us to lynch a townie in case we jail the wrong person.

The confirmed town, Rantai and RB, in Caligno's post. The plan was to force scum to either sacrifice 1 guy to kill a conf, or don't kill a conf and push the odds into town favour.

If they didn't recruit the traitor there won't be a kill and we have an opportunity to catch our first mafia...DakeDekaane wrote:

Sorry, I don't agree that not killing a confirmed town pushes the odds in town favour that much in this point of time - they can just kill of the least suspicious after conf. town. They can afford to kill someone else tonight and we'd still be in as much as in dark as we are now.Jinxy wrote:

Here's the thing; we have to have the watcher secretly choose between the two confirmed town and the jailkeeper. The glaring issue with this is that there is a case where we have literally no information -> if the watch and jail both miss (which is a pretty decent probability, actually; 49.5% by my calculations), then we gain nothing. We don't know anything about what the scum have chosen, nothing. That's a really hefty percentage to base this on.
Naturally, killing the Watcher is very suboptimal. All that really achieves is confirming the jailkeeper as town.

So what is the JK doing during all this?
wow, I honestly don't know what to say :/
I am really wonky about all three, haneii, jinxy and DD now. they all suddenly jumped out of the woods after getting votes on them. I think at least one of them is scum, and their is the possibility of one of them being traitor.
looking at the votes, haneii votes jinxy, and jinxy votes haneii back. that's not really helpful, "he did it"-shenanigans won't help us. even as useless is the no lynch vote of DD.
all of them have a fair amount of pressure on them, so it's understandable that they defend themselves.
I wanted to vote jinxy since I agree on the suspicions against him, but on the last page haneii did some really weird argumentations. then again, a similiar kind of play got NH lynched.
I am really confused. this is definetly too much for a firsttimer like me, especially at 3 am.
I think we can ignore the scenarios of pieguy and fart being scum. why? because I think a win is flatout impossible from this point on.
caligno could be scum, since he brought confusion, but honestly, I just think that he is by far the best mafiaplayer in the round, so he probably is just a really good townie.
haneii, JK keeps RB alive I think. since bringing one confirmed townie through is better than nothing and RB shouldn't shoot anyone anyways.

Derp. The JK in that situation is doing what you suggested.
we cannot assume that there is a traitor in the game for planning blindly ahead, haneii. we are at a critical phase of the game, and blindly assuming things won't help us.
RB should be jailkept, Rantai should be watched. as long as fartownik isn't scum, the things that happen from that can't be too bad I think.

Because obviously they'll be compelled to target either RB or Rantai, especially after CalignoBot repeatedly said they would? Hey, I guess it could happen.Tanzklaue wrote:

Because obviously watchers and jailkeepers only target people they already know are 100% scum? Of course there's a chance they could miss >.> There's also a chance that mafia won't go after any of the PR or conf. town. Chances chances chance~CalignoBot wrote:

what is this I don't even
Trying to predict scum's target is just a bunch of WIFOM. IMO we should play the safest possible path and avoid taking any unnecessary risks. there's no need to keep RB alive "just cause he's the vigilante" because I'm pretty sure at this point it's most advantageous for him not to shoot anyone else anyway.
Rantai is confirmed town, so we've got two options:

Rantai is confirmed town, so we've got two options:
- 1. Keep Rantai alive to give us a better chance on D3
If we assume both me and fartownik are confirmed, option 1 gives us a 3/5 chance of hitting mafia D3 (Rantai + one confirmed alive D3). - 2. JK and watch two people and hope we find out something or prevent a NK
This gives a bit more room to cover all possibilities (e.g. fartownik watches one of RB, Rantai, or me, and I JK one out of the remaining 4). There's also the chance I roleblock a mafia and stop the NK from happening. Mafia can't WIFOM us because either way they decide, there's a chance they fail. Hell, I could even JK fartownik with a low probability in order to ensure they don't just kill fartownik.

Plan 1 if we lynch town.
Swap me for RB and I'm fine with either or just because I have no utility at all while RB can save us as a last ditch chance.pieguy1372 wrote:

We should keep the utility alive, regardless of whether we think it will ever be needed again or not. If we get into a situation where the vig can shoot (example, we go into night with odd numbers and two town kills will not immediately end the game), then at least being able to consider the option is better than not having it at all.
I'll look closer at day 2 stuff tomorrow; I have reads that need to be updated and my brain has already shut off for the night.

sorry, can't think, I forgot RB was 100% confirmed too. LOL
In that case we might as well keep RB in plan 1 instead, and we'll have another confirmed townie D3 for a worst case 3/5 (60%) chance...seems pretty good to me 0.0

At this point, I'm kinda convinced Calingo is town. Only leaves with DD/Tanz/Haneii/Jinxy.
Haneii...Somehow just gut feeling. sorry pieguy. Looking perhaps too pro town when posting a lot and especially quoting what a lot of people says and puts her own opinion forward.
Tanz, still looks pretty town for me.
DD, null. As much as the flip flop goes, I don't really see it as a really big deal like some do. Plus the flip flop wasn't that big. His first post about NH leaning town still had a "not denying he's scum still" kinda thing.
Jinxy, null.
Ok, so if I've got this right, the current suggested plans are:
Caligno's
JK RB and Watch Rantai
Motive: Force scum to either sacrifice to kill Conf or kill Unconf PR/VT and leave more Confs alive
Haneii's / pieguy's option 2
On scum lynch, JK most scummy person and Watch the 2 PRs + Confs randomly (?)
Motive: Prevent a kill/Check for traitor recruitment
pieguy's option 1
On mislynch, JK RB and Watch pieguy or Rantai randomly (?)
Motive: To have more conf town (?)
(?) Because I'm not sure of those things
Caligno's plan fails if a Ninja exists or farto is scum, and depending on perspective, semi-fails if scum doesn't go for Conf town. My opinion is that the amount of Conf town then would make it quite easy to flush out the scum so I don't think it's really a fail.
Haneii's will fail to prevent a kill if the wrong person was JK'd or Traitor was recruited, and will also fail to check for recruitment of the wrong person was JK'd in the first place. My opinion is that this plan has a much higher chance of failing and wastes the JK since it's more likely the JK will protect successfully than roleblock successfully. (1/4 chance of successful protection vs 1/4 chance of successful roleblock on scum hiding in VT, but also 0 if traitor was recruited)
pieguy's plan is kinda like Caligno's, but the random factor involved brings in a lot of WIFOM if scum has no ninja so I don't really know if it would be better or worse for us than Caligno's.

Thanks for the summary...
...so which would you go for? Do you have any alternatives?
Also, we'll end with no lynch if the ties remain.

@pieguy: Though I'd prefer not claim who will be targeted, 1 looks better than 2, but you protect either Rantai or RB and fart watches any of both too, this way scum has only a 25% chance of performing a successful NK on confirmed and remaining hidden instead 50% when only fart doesn't have a fixed target to watch, and maybe, they'd aim for a non-PR or fart/pieguy and that increases the chance of catching scum by PoE, unless scum is really lucky or can predict both of you and NK without being seen or Ninja.
