hi guys

Sorry for being inactive, I've been really busy working on the layout for osu!monthly since I had a deadline.
Really had no time to read so many tl;dr posts (from other Mafia games too)
I'll try to catch up when I'm free.

Once I start seeing good activity and substance I'll be fine. I'm actually really uneasy with you because you're acting like always (when looking at the other two games I was in with you) and when you act like that, you end up scum, I know meta shouldn't be used to vote on someone (at least I think so) but not talking in general is pretty scummy in itself. But for now, FoS.

again, I don't buy the cop-out posts where people say they don't have enough time to read/post in the thread

they always end up posting on other areas of the site and it takes like 5 minutes to participate

No posts in the last 17 hours? =[

I was gonna ISO animask and rust (both FoS's) last night, but I fell asleep. So here they are.

rust ISO

I already stated my opinions of the whole rust vs Rolled "hasty judgement" thing. Re-analyzing things from Rolled's point of view doesn't seem to paint rust as scummy (not to say Rolled didn't paint rust as scum).

rust doesn't claim RVS votes are meaningless, so no tells there.

rust says there's not "enough scummy behavior on anyone to vote just yet". rust has done some very very minor scumhunting, and has been answering questions, and that's it. rust does not attempt to analyze things at this point.

Luckily, he next post of his shows some effort. It seems to have been sparked solely by a vote against him.

rust45 wrote:

... survival is important to me, no matter the role.
Yeah, well, if it's an "always" thing, you shouldn't be using it to defend yourself, right?

rust continues his defense by redirecting the fire toward Q, another relatively-inactive player. Clearly, rust feels really pressured, moreso than I would think for a townie. I'd like to look at his other game (HNM1) and see how he reacted to votes there.

rust pressure posts: HNM day 2, and ... no others. So, not much to go on. I still think rust feels "too" pressured.

rust's later comment on RVS shows better understanding of the game, as noted before.

animask ISO

After RVS has basically already ended, animask throws what looks like an RVS vote at Rolled. Before then, animask did nothing. Perhaps animask was discouraged from talking so early in the game due to what happened last game (HNM1); perhaps animask wants to be more cautious due to having an aux role.

After the maybe-RVS vote, animask throws in an odd comment. More on this in a bit.

animask then posts his "ideas" (not suspicions) list. I can't read anything from animask from the list. However, at the end, animask makes a comment toward Rolled: "I'm supposed to be reckless player." Seems like a bit of a setup (post 1, post 4, post 5). Really not sure what to make of it; could be a mafia tactic to cover up future mistakes, or just animask being animask.

animask's reply to Rolled's desperation provides some useful information (as I have mentioned before (see end of post)). animask seems so devoted to meta, though, which is dangerous.

animask's next post was fully responded to by me. My thoughts of the post have not changed.

Next, in animask's "back to normal" post, he responds to a few questions. He states his vote was intended to put pressure on Rolled. It ... didn't seem to work, because that mostly only works if there's some good reasoning against the player already (which could lead to a bandwagon). Either way, I didn't feel that was the original intent of animask's post.

May as well respond to your comments here:

animask wrote:

Also, I meant that it should be obvious that townies have less information to go by than aux/mafia (especially mafia).
Why would that be considered townie? Freudian slip... which means you're saying that you think he is townie? That doesn't seem
like enough information to go by.
Well, of course it's obvious. But the comment looked subconscious. A non-vanilla player, or a vanilla player conscious of what they were saying exactly, probably would not have said it so "casually"; they would have worded it differently, I think. It's certainly not a full tell, but just a hint and something I noticed.

To round up this ISO of animask ... It seems like animask is stepping up his game after being accused or noticed. This is a big shift from what animask would probably have done last game. At first, I concluded animask's behaviour was a scum tell, hence my vote. Now, I view it as a null-tell. Still, that "plan" of acting like a chaotic player I mentioned still irks me, and leads me to believe animask is hiding something.

... So.

FoS animask, FoS rust. I am keeping my vote on animask, mostly on gut feeling.

I don't have enough time and energy to do more ISO. Others are welcome to do their own, of course. (In fact, I encourage it. ;P)
Ph0X
Also, hi, foul.
Sleep Powder
@Ph0X, The reason that I want to be cautious is because of how easily I become
suspicious. I realized that being reckless last time was sort of successful because of
my aux role roleclaim. After repeating this behavior, the results from last time just seemed situational.

Okay, now I see what you meant about the "freudian-slip" thing, but it seems more like a "townie-tell".
You meant something like that, right?

@foulcoon, (aka sexy bitch) (also, hi) you FoS'd rust45 for almost the same reasons that
got me FoS'd by Ph0X. You have examples with rust45 that are more concrete, so seeing some
evidence actually helps with Ph0X's explanation. Yet, this seems like just enough information
for me to put an FoS on rust.

FoS rust45

I guess I just was suspicious of Rolled because of his behavior at the start. That was my other reason as to why I voted for Rolled.
Things start to get more serious once the game starts moving. That was my other reason as to why I voted for Rolled.

Posting this as LS asked.

Posting to say I have limited internet access (PS3 when I do.) until mon/tues. Will check on threads when I do have access but posting is difficult. If someone would pass this message on in the other two threads that would be great.
Question to Mod: Isn't the deadline tomorrow? Will you still keep the deadline up? Also, you didn't reset votes 24 hours before the deadline.

So I decided to try to do an ISO on Quaraezha, but there was so little in most of his posts that I couldn't really find much. I can say that none of his posts so far have been trying to scum hunt, and most of them, he's talking about himself.

I did find this though:

Quaraezha wrote:

I don't honestly think DxS is mafia too actually.
This is the only post I found where he was talking about somebody else, but he didn't even provide a reason. If it's just you're gut, at least take the five seconds to say, "My gut thinks he's town"

I also kinda agree with Two on the whole posts about talking about when you're busy. Course, only in cases that actually justify it (some busy posts probably are valid). Looking at Q's post history, it looks like he had plenty of time to come in and defend himself, yet he didn't.

I'm pretty sure it passed the 24 hours before lynch time. I don't see any vote reset :<
Is this some kind of a role act or is it just LS being forgetfull?

Yes I'm still not sure, but I was curious if there's such role as "no vote resets" or something + everyone's posts before they vote. It's the time where people start summarizes their thoughts and I thought this may help me making my thought out
Two_old
well it's been 4 days 18 hours and 55? minutes since the game started afaik

guess that means the day is over in 5 hours?

Gonna see who's about to get lynch

foulcoon (3): Chris, Rolled, Two
Rolled (1): animask
rust45 (1): foulcoon
animask (1): Ph0X


I guess people wants foulcoon to be lynched (even most suspicion came from DxS). I have nothing much to say for him. Sad how DxS gave you a tough situation :<

I'm worried with Q for his lurkiness even thought he said "Sorry I was busy". He usualy ends up being scum (meta gaming dfnvkwen). I'm willing to lynch him for a public lynch (lynching people who aren't beneficial to townies) as I found he's playing on every single mafia games around here. It's hard for me to expect Q to fully participate if he continues this ;_;

animask? Probably town *sigh* WIFOM but I do agree he would be more careful if he had some kind of a role. He's recklessness shows on every single games as well :<.... meta gaming, but it shows his present style.


I'm willing to have an extension however, since there was no vote reset and people aren't really voting at the time being as well (they probably expected for a vote reset and not didn't vote nor unvote)
Topic Starter
LadySuburu
Votes were automatically reset. Or, they would have been if I wasn't extending deadline to tues. This extention applies to the other game if deadline would hit before tues.

In the future, although I will try to post the reset, assume the votes were reset once 24 hrs left hits.

Vote: Foulcoon
Rolled
I've taken the whole DxS/Foulcoon situation into consideration, and I decided that I truly don't feel it to be scummy behavior to ask for a replacement. I will ISO myself just so everybody knows that I am aware this almost directly contradicts what I said earlier ITT:

Rolled wrote:

The lack of votes from everybody makes it really hard to tell what direction this game will be going, and how D1 will end. I'm not too familiar with DxS's meta but the fact that he asked for a replacement rather than just giving up and letting the votes fall how they may D1 makes me think that he had a power role in this game. Wifom wifom wifom.
I've reanalyzed, and have decided that perhaps DxS backed out simply because he had too much on his plate. Foulcoon came in gung-ho to participate, until realizing he was on track to get lynched, in which case he almost immediately lost interest and ceased to participate. (Not personally attacking foulcoon, the whole game was pretty dead for a day or two)

I also feel that if foulcoon was given the chance to survive, he'd be more than happy to participate in the game regardless of his role. This game isn't fun without people participating.

That said, I'm going to cast my vote for Quaraezha

I can meta all day and show past games where Q's inactivity went hand in hand with his mafia role, but I truly feel that his style is just so sit back and let all of the action and finger-pointing happen around him, before eventually casting his vote with little reasoning behind it. This is not beneficial to town, even if he rolled pro-town.
Rolled
Let me explain better, and say that I'm not stating I feel asking for a replacement is a town-tell, but I'm saying it doesn't have to be a scum-tell.

Things start to get more serious once the game starts moving. That was my other reason as to why I voted for Rolled. pg.10
Some people like to play differently. I'm a townie so everybody else isn't mafia. You should get to learn how people play before
you assume they are mafia or not. I have a good idea on what your play style is like, so now I know what to do to help you.
(I'm a newbie lulz) The reason I think you're sus(s) is because you are accusing almost everyone of being mafia.
That is actually a scum tell. pg. 7
A scum tell doesn't always mark scum.

Addition to last post.

Oh right, details...

Quote 1


His aggressive behavior at the start made me think he was trying to hide something.
This goes with my more recent post. I think that initial posts should be weighed more.
Later on, you become more suspicious of people and others suspicious of you. When this
happens, people start to change their posting behavior (usually).

Quote 2

I thought that his immediate accusations of who may be mafia. This one was an obvious
scum-tell that furthered my suspicion.

Quote 3

The game just started here so I was being a bit hasty, but I posted the reason for
voting was to pressure Rolled into saying something that could be a scum-tell. Since
there was an unvote at the last 24 hours, I thought this would work out fine if I wanted
to switch votes later in Day 1.

I'd understand if you coupled this reasoning with a reverse psychology claim, but as-is I don't think it makes much sense logically. I have absolutely nothing to hide this game. I'm vanilla town, and I feel the way I can contribute the most to my team is to have an aggressive playstyle and force other players to talk. It is the mafia who have things to hide, hence they like to stay out of the line of fire. I'm fine going into the front lines. Especially because I don't expect my life to last long in this game (NKs) I want to contribute as much as possible, in the little amount of time I'm allotted.

animask wrote:

This sentence doesn't really make sense, but I'm going to assume that you meant "Rolled is accusing everybody of being mafia, and this is a scumtell." Obviously I know everybody isn't mafia. As I've said earlier, people react differently in this game to accusations depending on the role that they hold. I can't see how they react unless I give them something to react to.

Well we share similar thinking processes here, however I don't agree with what you think is a scumtell, and justifies a vote for me.

The good thing about your accusations, is it makes me feel that you are pro-town. This could be my ego talking, but I'd expect mafia to silently NK me rather than raising a lynch hypothesis.

p.s. - The above statement does not translate to "If I vote for Rolled I'll look pro-town ^__^"
Assholes ;(

I'm going to vote for quaraezha

Not because I think he's mafia. Because I know that lynching anyone else will hurt the 'game' part of this mafia game. He's also posted literally nothing that would be useful day 2 to us, town or not.

Oh dear.

Breakdown of my general thoughts of each player so I can collect my thoughts before continuing:

animask
As I said before, I think there was some tactical setup done by animask. animask seems a bit more desperate this game (especially his latest few posts), though I don't think I should take that into account. Holding my FoS on animask.

bmin
Don't remember much; seems hidden from my view. (At first I was surprised he was even in this game ... being detached for only a little bit made me forget so much!) He's keeping the same "helpful townie" role he had in HNM1, so no tells there. I think he'll be useful later game, too. No suspicions.

Chris
Acted pretty OMGUS-y against DxS (now played by foul), enough to throw a vote. Vote stuck. Not sure if I should believe Rolled's claim that Chris just sticks with his vote, or if Chris is using that comment to his advantage, or what. Kind of weird; not quite sure what to think. I want to see how Chris plays day 2. Other than that, Chris hasn't contributed much.

foul
Had a burst of "ohai!", then everything went silent when the weekend hit. Made me notice rust a bit more (enough to lead to an ISO read). No tells.

As for DxS's behaviour: I don't know what to think, really, because I can hardly figure out DxS's line of thinking. I will look what happened again some time, though.

Q
Lately there's been some annoyance toward Q, and rightfully so. Q was last online very recently, so I don't see why they haven't posted. Either they are disinterested in mafia games (then why keep joining?), have other priorities (ask for a replacement?), or are intentionally lurking. Judging from Q's meta, as others have pointed out, the lurking seems to be intentional, or at least non-accidental. Thus, a FoS on Q,

Rolled
Pretty cool dude. ;P Yeah, he has flaws in his logic sometimes, but overall a very forceful and important player (and his meta proves this). A few days ago I would have voted for him, but now I am getting pro-town vibes from him.

rust
Only comment I have for rust is that he feels too pressured, and that's purely a gut feeling. Very minor FoS on rust.

Two
This guy... He makes it so hard for me to read him. He comes up with good ideas, but doesn't really explain them (even though I understand the behind-the-scenes work of them for the most part). A real mystery player, because it's hard to read anything off of him because of this. I'm gonna ignore him for now...

So...

Pretty much my FoS's are against animask and Q. Q has two votes on him already, and we learned the hard way (HNM1) that bandwagoning in HNM is a bad idea, as there's no going back. Therefore, I'm gonna vote for animask.

Vote animask
rust45
I personally think a policy lynch on Q is the best way to go right now, as he's basically dead weight. However, I won't cast a vote until the last time I can be on before the deadline just to make sure I can weight in what everyone says.
foulcoon
Sorry I've been a bit inactive due to the holiday.

I'm going to vote: animask.

I still don't have a great feeling about rust, but i can let that be for now. As for the bandwagon starting against Q, I don't really feel that its justified, but I can kind of understand the reasoning.

I'd like to hear your reasoning behind your vote against animask.
Ph0X
bmin, if you have time, can you post your thoughts of each player?
foulcoon
@Ph0X

The reasoning behind my vote is that upon reading the thread for the first time I was pretty critical of what people were saying and who they were voting for, which is why I originally voted for rust. animask was suspicious to me at that point as well, as i stated in my post. The fact that rust has done a bit more talking eased my mind a little bit, but I do still have my doubts. Also, animask's last couple posts have just seemed ridiculously desperate to me. Namely, his idea of these "scum tells" for Rolled seem like hes grasping.

Just came back @_@ I don't keep a note really, but I'll write some thoughts of each players


Two: I'm not really a fan of his attitude, but that's just my personal issue. His thoughts seem to be clear, but his posts aren't really providing much reasonings to back up. I bet he could come up with some reasonings, but he just ends up with a short post :<... neutral for me

animask: Another act with his recklessness. Still bit choppy with his ideas and to rounding his reasonings up, but he is getting better (less annoying). I once wanted to lynch him, but my gut is reading town. I agree that he wouldn't be so aggressive (+ reckless) if he was mafia. Town to me

foulcoon: Nothing much to go on. He came up with a suspicion for rust45 which I'm following with (more on rust45 paragraph). I guess I'll have to put DxS on this side as well. DxS voting for Chris wasn't really strong enough to have him on my suspicion list and he soon gave up his vote. This was taken as a scumtell by someone (I should recheck), but again, his vote was almost a RV for him and I'm not really concerned with unvoting RVs. Quiting during the game isn't really a scumtell for me, but if he turns out to be mafia, I wouldn't respect his choice then.

Ph0X: I'll usually put his post into my account since most sounds reasonable to me. He's style of defence was taken as a scumtell (not providing much but covering with being sarcastic) and I have nothing much to say. Lots of people use sarcasm and it really isn't that helpfull for me to have a suspicion or not. Neutral for me

rust45: His way of defending arks me. He used his playing style to defence (which I don't buy it at all) and accused Q for the same reason (which I found it ironic). You guys both have a similar playing style and really, accusing for Q's lurkiness is the same as accusing for yourself. What makes you different from Q? You should rather try to convince that you are a town. FoS

Q: Be more active. Actually, playing in all mafia games is ridiculous :<... You also have a meta history of being guilty whenever you lurked. I wouldn't lynch you yet since accusing for lurking isn't a strong reasoning, but if we have a chance to have a public lynch, you will be my wish list. Neutral and this will lean towards mafia on this rate.

Rolled: Current hand of the game. He made most players to post by accusing. I'm getting pro-town since I think mafia wouldn't be this aggressive on scum hunting.

Chris: seems to be very confident foulcoon is mafia. Nothing much to say since he stopped posting after DxS was replaced by foulcoon.



I would vote for rust45, but I found it would be impossible with the vote split we are having right now... Since I think animask is townie, I'll vote Q. This will be a public lynch for me atleast.

After calling him on it, he posted.

Had nothing to do with what I said, didn't give a reason, nothing. Just stalling and trying to pretend to be active.

He had time to make two posts but no time to defend himself.

At the end of the day, you decided Q was being pretty much useless. Obviously, he was jealous of the crappy amazing stories written for these games, since he couldn't write any better.

You tie him up, and place him under the nearest tree.

You grab an axe, and start chopping away at the tree.

"I'm Innocent I tell you! I was just busy! Where's my mason friend!? Help me out he---"

The axe head flies off, decapitating Q.

Sleep Powder
@Chris, this must be how adam feels when he can't understand me. I have no idea what you are saying...

Except for that last bit... Many things could've been the result of him quiting. He probably didn't know what to say
back thinking it wasn't a big deal anyways.

Hmm, you got NK'd. Nevermind then...

Also, I had a feeling Quy was a townie this time...

Now who would want to NK Chris...?
Two_old
http://wikiguides.neoseeker.com/wiki/Th ... Bus_Driver

K so first of all I think we can all agree that it makes no sense for chris to have died night 1. He was like... the most easily lynchable target behind quaraezha. So obviously he used his bus driver ability on the person who would have been night killed, and that person was either me or rolled since he hates you all.

So now we have to figure out who he swapped with. Here is who would night kill rolled:
Two
Ph0x
rust45
bmin11

Here is who would night kill me:
Rolled
Ph0x
rust45 (at the behest of ph0x or rolled)
bmin11 (at the behest of ph0x or rolled)
animask (at the behest of ph0x or rolled)
sry but none of you are that smart

Since my list is effectively narrowed down to two people (they both aren't mafia), let's look at the reasons they might have to lynch me:
1. I'm awesome
2. I'm intuitive

that's serious but let's focus on Rolled:
1. I always suspect him more than anyone else regardless of his role and he knows it
2. Voting in line with him yesterday could have made him think I was trying to make him not kill me (it was also semi out of character for me)(thinks I'm aux)

Two: I feel that Two is trusting me more in this game than in the past (lolmeta).

1b. Rolled has gone for me in every game we've played together where he's been mafia/wolf, so why would he make a mistake like going after me? I used that as a reason to lynch him last time.

now for Ph0x:
1. Also would notice that I've just been playing in a way that isn't the same as the way I would have played a civilian a year ago (thinks I'm aux)
2. I've straight up called him mafia more than once this game and voted for him (it's worth noting that this was early on in the game, so it wouldn't cast suspicion on him ordinarily)

I don't know how many of you can appreciate how telling this paragraph is. Basically, though, he was building distance between us and and trying to do the same thing rolled did in his quote (make me less apprehensive towards him). He did it close enough towards night, and with a lot more subtlety than rolled. So much so that the two statements don't even compare.

another reason I might have been the target:
SPOILER
I'm getting night killed in every fucking game sdfsf

What reasons do ph0x, rust45, and bmin11 have for night killing rolled?

Ph0x:
1. ph0x would have much more control of day phase
2. actually as I was writing this I realized that since he's spent so much time replying to rolled, it would hurt him to night kill rolled for two reasons: 1. all of that work going towards getting that material to use against him would be wasted, 2. it could have made Ph0x look more suspicious (in Ph0x's eyes)

rust45:
1. d'uhhhhhh rolled talks a lot

bmin11:
1. d'uhhhhhh rolled talks a lot (ilu still ㅇㅅㅇb)

It's pretty obvious to me that I was chosen to be night killed. I don't know if it was rolled or ph0x, but ph0x's end-of-day paragraph that I quoted is so ridiculously mafia-like that it blows rolled out of the water, and I'm voting for ph0x
Rolled
Cool, we have a fucking game now.
First of all Chris, whoever you did switch with was an absolute brilliant play. We couldn't possibly have any more information d2.

Everybody knows the three of us know each other, we've been painted as a team this entire game. Everybody also knows Chris would not be anywhere near the most beneficial NK target for mafia n1, thus he had to have used his ability.

Chris wouldn't switch with anyone other than myself or Two.

I'm going to cut my potential text-wall off here and just agree thoroughly with everything Two has to say, this paragraph in particular:

Ph0x wrote:

Two
This guy... He makes it so hard for me to read him. He comes up with good ideas, but doesn't really explain them (even though I understand the behind-the-scenes work of them for the most part). A real mystery player, because it's hard to read anything off of him because of this. I'm gonna ignore him for now...
Two is an easier nightkill target than I am, in general. He has a higher rate of success in these games than I do. Combine that with the fact that Ph0x has put in an effort to gather as much material from me as possible, and the fact that I have NKed Two as mafia n1 in the past, it is clear ph0x's intentions were NKing Two N1 and getting me lynched d2. While perhaps you can substitute ph0x's name with any other person in this game and the above paragraph would still make a little sense, however ph0x being mafia is the most likely scenario we have at hand here.

Vote: Ph0x

p.s.: FoS Animask.
Now who would want to NK Chris...?
You know what Chris's ability consists of, and you know he used it. Intentional ignorance?
Sleep Powder
Sorry, I didn't know what the Bus Driver role did until Two posted.

There's a lot of metagaming going on right now and some of it exists
in this game, because I now see what Chris was doing.
Three of us = Two, Rolled and Chris/Ph0X (I must be a newbie or just not getting something.)

Now I should come up with some theories of my own... (when I think of some).
Rolled
I don't know animask. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought you were the type that if you didn't know what a certain role did, you'd head straight to the wiki before potentially making an ignorant post such as your previous one.

And rather than needing to form your own theories, I'm interested in you elaborating on what you think of Two's. I feel it's very important, since you're one of the few people I have to suspect after ph0x.

Also I have no idea what you mean by this:

Oh, then yeah. We've known each other for like 10 years now. People often hold it against us are say it's game breaking and stuff, but really all it ever does is make us over-analyze each other thus causing misreads.

I'd still like to hear your opinion to Two's theory.
Rolled
Preferably before ph0x signs on.
Sleep Powder
@Two, first of all, how did you come up with the assumptions that those people would NK Rolled or you?

Meta-gaming with Rolled and Ph0X? I wonder how that's going to work...

Now that I think of it, Ph0X did seem different with his posts for almost no reason.

But I really don't understand what Two is trying to say here...

tl;dr version? (Break it down a bit for me?)
Ph0X
Let me analyze Two's post aloud, because it's a lot to take in and I want to be sure I didn't misinterpret everything.

Two wrote:

K so first of all I think we can all agree that it makes no sense for chris to have died night 1. He was like... the most easily lynchable target behind quaraezha. So obviously he used his bus driver ability on the person who would have been night killed, and that person was either me or rolled since he hates you all.
Fact: Unless there is another manipulative role (not likely), either Chris or his target were swapped. If Chris' target was swapped, Chris must have used his night action on himself, too (duh).

Assumption: Chris targeted either Two or Rolled. Two makes this assumption because "he hates you all", which sounds absurd but is probably true. Still, let's analyze a few scenarios:

Scenario A: Chris thinks [player] is Mafia; Chris feels he is going to be targeted for a kill; Chris swaps himself and [player].
If this occured, the Mafia targeted [player], meaning Chris' guess was (likely) incorrect.

Scenario B: Chris feels he is going to be targeted for a kill, and thinks it's best to have himself die over another player; Chris does not use his ability.
If this occured, the Mafia targeted Chris himself.

Scenario C: Chris thinks [player] is Town; Chris feels he is NOT going to be targeted for a kill; Chris thinks [player] is going to be targeted for a kill, and thinks it's best to have himself die over [player]; Chris swaps himself and [player].
If this occured, the Mafia targeted [player], meaning Chris' guess was (likely) correct.

(I have a feeling I am missing another scenario, but I can't think of it. If someone figures it out, or concludes there are no other scenarios, I'd be grateful.)

To me, Scenario C looks most likely. I don't think Chris thought he would be targeted for a kill, and I don't think he felt that way, either; as Two said, he is a pretty lynchable player. More likely, Chris thought one of the "better" players (Rolled, Two, or myself, not to brag) would be targeted. It's even more likely that Chris would swap himself with a player he had emotional attachment to, so that leaves Rolled and Two, as Two concluded for assumption purposes.

Two wrote:

So now we have to figure out who he swapped with. Here is who would night kill rolled:

sry but none of you are that smart
What makes Two rule out animask for lynching Rolled? And what happened to foul?

I can take a guess to the former: animask was voting for Rolled day 1, and if animask had killed Rolled, animask wouldn't have a lead. Then again, that's WIFOM thinking, but I don't think Two thinks on those terms.

Anyway, what about foul? My guess? Freudian slip, and both Two and foul are mafia members. (If that's the case, note Scenario B above.)

Two wrote:

Since my list is effectively narrowed down to two people (they both aren't mafia)
Assumption: One or zero of Ph0X and Rolled mafia members.
Further assumption: Either Ph0X or Rolled is a mafia member.

I can see from where the first assumption comes, but I think the second assumption Two makes is a bit of a stretch. But sure, let's go with it.

Two wrote:

that's serious but let's focus on Rolled:
1. I always suspect him more than anyone else regardless of his role and he knows it
Meta assumption: Two is more critical of Rolled than he is of other players (in general).
Assumption: Rolled feels the critical pressure from Two.
Assumption: If Rolled is mafia, Rolled wants Two gone because Two could/would find Rolled out.

I think this line of thinking is solid, but it's based on a meta assumption, which to me is really weak.

Two wrote:

2. Voting in line with him yesterday could have made him think I was trying to make him not kill me (it was also semi out of character for me)(thinks I'm aux)
Assumption: Rolled feels Two is trying to be friendly with Rolled to not draw attention to himself, as to not be killed.
Assumption: Rolled sees this friendliness as Two not wanting to be killed.
Assumption: Rolled equates Two not wanting to be killed with Two holding an aux role (town or mafia).
Assumption: If Rolled is mafia, Rolled wants Two gone because Rolled thinks Two holds an aux townie role.

Pretty straight forward. I don't really agree with it, though I did notice Two kinda being under the covers next to Rolled day 1. (I didn't remember Two's meta enough to make any assumptions based off of this, though, despite what Two thinks.)

Rolled wrote:

Two: I feel that Two is trusting me more in this game than in the past (lolmeta).
just because I didn't outright go against anything he said, trying to give everyone (including me) a false sense of comradery between the two of us
I don't know exactly what Two is thinking here, but here's my guess:

Assumption: Rolled feels Two is trying to buddy with Rolled.
Assumption: Rolled feels buddying with Two would be negative for himself.
Assumption: If Rolled is mafia, Rolled wants Two gone because the buddying paints a bad picture for himself, leading to a more likely lynch of himself.

I'm unsure what to think of this train of thought. At first glance it looks fine and reasonable. I just don't see Rolled thinking that way, though.

Two wrote:

4. I've just been playing in a way that isn't the same as the way I would have played a civilian a year ago (thinks I'm aux)
Meta assumption: Two is acting differently than he does when he was town in other games.
Assumption: Two holds an aux role.
Assumption: If Rolled is mafia, Rolled wants Two gone because Rolled thinks Two holds an aux townie role.

Seems reasonable, if you are lead to believe that meta assumption enough. I certainly don't. A lot can change in a year, or even game-to-game. I don't (or try not to) factor gameplay style into my reasoning, so I don't buy what Two is saying here.

Also, this argument could be used against any player here (see below).

Two wrote:

1b. Rolled has gone for me in every game we've played together where he's been mafia/wolf, so why would he make a mistake like going after me? I used that as a reason to lynch him last time.
Meta fact: Rolled has (often?) gone after Two in the past where Rolled is mafia.
Meta assumption: Rolled always goes after Two if Rolled is mafia (and Two is not mafia).
Assumption: Rolled would not make the mistake of going after Two if Rolled is mafia.

WIFOM? Maybe that's what he wanted you to think, if he did try to kill you?

Two wrote:

now for Ph0x:
1. Also would notice that I've just been playing in a way that isn't the same as the way I would have played a civilian a year ago (thinks I'm aux)
Meta assumption: Ph0X knows Two's play style of a townie from a year ago.
Assumption: Ph0X sees the difference in Two's play style as a sign that Two holds an aux role.
Assumption: If Ph0X is mafia, Ph0X wants Two gone because Ph0X thinks Two holds an aux townie role.

Yeah, not buying it. Same reasoning against Rolled; see my comments there.

Two wrote:

2. I've straight up called him mafia more than once this game and voted for him (it's worth noting that this was early on in the game, so it wouldn't cast suspicion on him ordinarily)
Assumption: Ph0X felt pressured by Two by Two's vote against him on day 1.
Assumption: If Ph0X is mafia, Ph0X wants Two gone because Two might find Ph0X out.

Makes sense. WIFOM finds itself here quite easily, though, so the argument is nullified. (If you can't figure it out: what if, say, animask saw this an wanted to make the kill look like an OMGUS NK?)

Yeah, pretty much, if you still want to stick to the "Rolled and I are the only NK targets" assumption (which, as I said, is convincing).

No, I don't remember you meta very well (as stated earlier). All I remember is that you and Rolled are very aggressive players. As I also said above, I don't take play style into account when it comes to meta comparisons.

While reading this, I was gonna comment "well, the same can be said for other players, too", but you ended stated that yourself. But ... then you give a non-reason at the end, so I just see circular reasoning. If you don't see it:

Player A has lots of reason to kill player X. Although you could say the same about player B, player A seems more likely because player A has lots of reason to kill player X.

Maybe I am missing something in your argument?

---

My personal thoughts? I'm entertaining that Two-foul pair I mentioned. I mean, if Two was a newbie, I'd definitely pounce on it. Since he isn't, it's not gonna lead to a vote, just something which is gonna stick in my head for a while.

I don't really enjoy analyzing kills unless they're very surprising (and I wouldn't call a busdriver kill surprising, honestly). All I see is WIFOM in such analyses for the most part (though I do admit some good can come from looking at nightkills).

I will reread things when I have enough time (maybe tomorrow?). I've already spend enough time writing this essay. ;P
foulcoon
I will just say this, take it as fact if you want.

This is the current status of the game.

Assuming there are 2 mafia and 7 town (5 left now), these are the possible mafia (those who voted for Q):

bmin
Two
rust45
Rolled


I simply mean that I believe with good reason that myself, animask, and Ph0x are not mafia.
Rolled
Are you seriously suggesting both mafia members voted for Q, foulcoon? At most there was one. In fact, Q was such an easy lynch that it wouldn't surprise me if neither voted for him.

IMO, in order of most likely:
1 Mafia voted for Q; No mafia voted for Q; both mafia voted for Q.

Ph0x wrote:

Maybe I am missing something in your argument?
With the entire way that you've played this game, it's easiest to believe that you are the player with the most to benefit from Two's lynching. You have not spent much time talking to him (D1), while you've made an effort to talk to every other player in the game thus far. In fact, you express your inability to read Two publicly. Whether it was truthful or not, I think it was still a slip up.

Now assuming Chris didn't bite the bullet for Two, you intended to paint me as the player with the most to gain from NKing Two using meta and probably some other things I've said in this game thus far. You have made quite an effort to speak to me, thus you have more information on me to scumpaint, thus I would be an easier lynch target than Two would have been. You wouldn't need to waste a NK. And as you've said, you, two, and myself are some of the more influential players in this game (again, not to brag. meta.) It would be a cake walk for you as mafia if we were both eliminated early. Combine that with the fact that you were one of the two mafia that did not vote for Q D1, you'd look very pro-town to untrained eyes.

Circling back to foulcoon, you have no possible way to be certain both ph0x and animask are town at this point in time. At best you'd know one, and even if you happen to be a cop there's always the possibility you're paranoid (keep in mind, this is experimental.)
Rolled
Also I'd like to add that I find it very disturbing animask never found the time to answer my question before ph0x managed to respond to Two. While perhaps animask may not have been able to come up with a solid defense for ph0x (assuming they're both mafia), I'm certain that he'd at least be able to comprehend Two's post enough to not require a TLDR version. It's easy to expand off of ph0x's thought process now as animask the mafia goon.
foulcoon
Assuming there are only 2 mafia I am certain that both animask and Ph0X are town. If there are more than 2 mafia I may be mistaken.

That being said, yes I am suggesting that both mafia members voted for Q (if there are only 2). The fact that you make the assumption that only one mafia member voted for Q makes it seem like you're really grasping to avoid suspicion. There is no way that you could possibly know only 1 mafia member voted for Q, unless of course you were mafia.

You are either desperate mafia or being really bad at town imo.

FoS: Rolled
Rolled
I'm speaking only on common sense. Why would both mafia members associate themselves with a lynching that they know will be town?
foulcoon
I don't know, you tell me.
Rolled
No, explain your logic. I've explained mine.

Also, I firmly believe that you're wrong about your ph0x and animask claims.
foulcoon
Heres my logic.

I know that 2 mafia voted for lynching Q.
Rolled
Okay foulcoon here we go.

You are obviously Mason. Let me tell you exactly how the game has played thus far.

-DxS gets placed under heat.
-He's like it's okay, at least my mason partner will come to my rescue.
-Q says this:

Quaraezha wrote:

I don't honestly think DxS is mafia too actually.
-The sad attempt at defending DxS gets ignored, as it had no structure behind it (like any other Q post)
-Chris continues to be a jackass and OMGUS's the shit out of DxS
-DxS is like fuck this game, fuck my partner(s), i'm out.

Now we know for a fact Q was a mason. Let's go back to the vote list.
Q (4): Rolled, Two, Rust, Bmin
We can safely assume none of those four are Mason.

Now I have not ISO'd the other members like I should, but one particular post sticks out from the top of my head. That is you directly defending Q:

Foulcoon wrote:

As for the bandwagon starting against Q, I don't really feel that its justified, but I can kind of understand the reasoning.
So all of that said, I concluded that you were Mason as well. I didn't make it public until now, but that was because I didn't feel it was too beneficial for the town to do so. But now with the new information you're bringing me, I feel it is a must.

Foulcoon wrote:

I simply mean that I believe with good reason that myself, animask, and Ph0x are not mafia.

Foulcoon wrote:

So now, we have two possibilities here.
1.) All FOUR of you are Mason, and you are misinformed of your role.
2.) Three of you are Mason, and you also have Cop as your auxiliary role.

There is no other way that you can be 100% certain that the three of you are town.

Now, when I say that you are misinformed of your role, let me elaborate. Refer back to your Role PM please.

MafiaWiki wrote:

Masons are a group, usually all on the Pro-Town side, that usually have some information about each others alignement. They can communicate with each other at Night, if they choose, but otherwise usually have no special abilities. In one variation of the Mason role, the Masons cannot reveal that they are Masons to the town through roleclaiming. Instead, they must find other ways to defend each other.
This is probably all you are aware of. Let me make this perfectly clear, however:

MafiaWiki wrote:

Sometimes, one member of the masonry group is a scum mason, a person in the masonry who is secretly part of the mafia or some other scum group. This occasionally happens in games where the moderater does not specifically tell all masons that they are all town. (See: unconfirmed masons, sometimes called "Neighbors")
That said, Does your role PM specifically mention all of the Masons are pro-town? Don't answer this publicly, as it will result in your modkill (assuming you can't publicize the fact that you are Mason) but please ask yourself the question.

Now, once you realize that your PM does not state that all of the Mason are pro-town, you may then apologize to me ^____^

Also, after re-reading this whole thing, I realized there is a chance of Foulcoon being the Mafia-Mason, and the others are both town. I find this unlikely (see my above posts), and it directly goes against my gut feeling.

Any time you're ready foulcoon, I'd like that apology bro. And take that fucking FoS off of me.
Rolled
Rolled, out.
foulcoon
I would like to think that perhaps DxS was the mason, but when i replaced him I was given another role with the same alignment?

Also, my role PM doesn't say anything about masons at all.
Rolled
I don't think the mason needs to deliberately claim non-mason? They just can't outright claim Mason.
Stop causing confusion to the town please. I doubt that you were given a different role with the same alignment.

Mod: Is it possible that you can shed some light on this? I understand you can't fully prove foulcoon to be lying or truthful, but can you perhaps show us what the Mason Townie's PM (Q's) looked like?

Yeah. Because I totally use metas I barely remember. And, as my meta shows clearly, I totally base my arguments on nightkills.

You see, maybe you'll understand WIFOM this time:

What if you (or some other player) wanted people to think that way?
"Ph0X has the most to gain from the deaths of Two and Rolled. Therefore, I, as a mafia member, knowing Ph0X is not mafia, will try to make the town think Ph0X NK'd Two or Rolled so the town lynches him!"
In addition:
"I, Ph0X, as a mafia member, realize that I can say, simply, 'what if someone else wanted you to think that I was mafia trying to kill certain players because I'd best gain from their deaths'. I'd be off the hook then!"

Do you see the problem with this type of argument?

Rolled wrote:

You have made quite an effort to speak to me, thus you have more information on me to scumpaint, thus I would be an easier lynch target than Two would have been. You wouldn't need to waste a NK.
All that information is public. Anyone could use the same information to do the same thing, if they so wanted.

From what I see, your FoS on animask is based on animask's ignorance of the busdriver role; it doesn't have any argumentative standing. What makes you think animask is a mafia member?

Rolled wrote:

... I'm certain that he'd at least be able to comprehend Two's post enough to not require a TLDR version.
You overestimate animask. When he reads something he doesn't understand, he doesn't try to re-read it and comprehend it. He's a new player and needs hand-holding most of the time. (I like to help any player, regardless of orientation (see what I did there? ;P), so don't even think about pinning me on that.)

Rolled wrote:

My post regarding Two's post wasn't my thought process, necessarily. It was Two's thought process, but written in such a way that was, to me, more clear. I could better comprehend Two's analysis rewriting it in the way I did. I did add a few of my own comments inline, but those were intended to be inquisitory (I am a Shakespeare) because I wasn't sure I understood Two's points exactly. (Maybe a few counterarguments slipped by, but I can't change that now.) I wanted to be sure I was interpreting Two correctly.

If foul is mafia, he is telling the truth if animask is town. (Of course, most readers can't have the same conclusion.)

If foul is town, foul knows that:
If there are two mafia members, they are not animask, Ph0X, or himself; therefore, two of bmin, Rolled, rust, and Two are mafia.
If there are more than two mafia members, he may be "mistaken", meaning animask and himself are not excluded from being mafia.
From this, I can assume that if foul is town, at least two mafia members voted for Q.
From this, I cannot assume that if foul is town, animask and Ph0X are town.

If foul is neutral, similar conclusions can be drawn as if foul is town, with some modifications I won't bother going into now (as I don't think there are neutral players in this game).

This confirms the assumption above: "at least two mafia members voted for Q".

Now, how does "I know that 2 mafia voted for lynching Q." equate exactly to "I know animask and Ph0X are town"? You base your suspicion of foul being a mason on the latter, yet you're building your argument on straws (and non-tasty non-kawaii anime straws at that).

... Funny how Q starts talking only after he's dead.

Prod: rust, bmin
Rolled
Also to MOD: If player x claims publicly player y is Mason, must player y deny it (assuming player x is correct) or be subject to modkill?

Haven't even bothered to read ph0x's wall. I'm going to get a night's sleep before I attempt to.

Just gonna point out things that peak my interest at the moment, I'm taking this all into consideration but I need to take time to comprehend it all first(especially since Ph0x likes to write novels).

I don't understand the logic behind this, why would you get a role change as a replacement? I would change the game balance.

Why are talking like the variation of mason where they can't roleclaim is in this game? The only way you could know that masons couldn't roleclaim is if you were a mason.

Anyway, that's all I have to say for now, I must look over all the current walls over again.
Rolled
Masons can never roleclaim Mason AFAIK, regardless of the variation.

Haven't even bothered to read ph0x's wall. I'm going to get a night's sleep before I attempt to.

1. Closed setup - So no. I cannot show what the PM looked like.

2. It depends on the setup. As you said, generally masons are not allowed to claim. How far each host takes that is up to the individual host or game, sometimes going as far as forcing them to deny it (since it still would be claiming mason, even if they were accused of it). Also, if player X was a mason with player Y and did the above, it would be player X who is modkilled. Finally, the extent of the punishment is also up to the current mod.

Heres my logic.

I know that 2 mafia voted for lynching Q.
So foulcoon has a power to read how many mafia voted for. However, not ending from here, he also said this:

foulcoon wrote:

My assumption is; DxS was mason and as foulcoon replacing DxS, he received his new power. I think it's safe to say he is town since Mafia Mason isn't likely to receive another role and masons voting for their fellow mason isn't really logical...

I won't rule out other players who didn't vote for Q for the same reason raised by other players; there may be more then 2 mafias

May I ask you to reveal your alignments? It may bring some interesting points toward the D1 vote



My two suspicions are rust and Rolled (though my suspicion for Rolled is WIFOM)

rust45: the same reason as D1. Your accusation for Q seem like you were trying to cover your suspicion.

Rolled: Highly WIFOM.

Rolled wrote:

And take that fucking FoS off of me.
This is really unlike you. You overreacted towards foulcoon's FoS on you.
Now the WIFOM; I can basicaly use the same accusation you used for Ph0X, lynching the other influential player to gain more power during Days phase. I'm weighing since you immedietly went into action.
Two_old
foulcoon are you going to roleclaim so we can actually get somewhere

or are you going to leave us unsure as to whether you are actually sure that 2 mafia voted for quaraezha

edit: and I should add that by saying what you said you basically said that bmin11 and rolled are mafia, do you really think that?

srs time

@MOD, can there be multiple Mason groups? (since I don't think I can ask IF there are any)

@Ph0X, you make much more sense than Two, but just in case you're trying to mislead me I'll have to reread your post instead.
(I can't understand Two's post even after rereading...)
Oh, you could swap with a possible mafia. I haven't thought of that scenario yet...(offensive instead of defensive role)
Maybe he thought I wouldn't NK Rolled because I voted for him during Day 1. Meaning that I shouldn't have suspected Rolled
in the first place. If not, then he was just underestimating me and some other meta-gaming thing you guys are doing. (Reason for me being a bit unsure of the situation.) There is a lot of focus on this meta-pairing and assumptions...

I find it suspicious that all of you are acting like you are unable to understand plain english. I'm really not that bad of a writer, and my format wasn't bad either.

Also, you realize that if foulcoon does have the ability to see how many mafia voted for the lynch target, we have already won right? Let me show you:
Voted for Quaraezha
Rolled
Two
rust45
bmin11

If we voted for rolled today, mafia or not, that brings the list to:
Two
Rust45
bmin11

human count at that point would be 3:2 or 4:1

you then vote for either rust45 or bmin and you have a 100% chance to hit mafia if it's 3:2 or 50% if it's 4:1

the human count then looks like this: 2:1

finally, you lynch the remaining player

if there are 3 mafia members then this was a bad setup and I don't mind losing anyway

@foulcoon, 2 mafias voted for Quy? I see... (I did research.)
I believe you for now...

@Two, Rolled Two rust45 bmin11 are your suspects for mafia?
I see how you tried to narrow down the suspects (and included yourself), but
doing that makes me think that you're trying to protect someone (one person not Two) I couldn't resist a Two pun...
Just an idea because I don't have much information to back up that theory.

For a while, I was so lost in all the posts I didn't know what was going on. Now I get it...
Two_old
animask what I said isn't hard to understand

I'm going to try to make it pop-up book easy for you:

foulcoon: I know for SURE that there are 2 mafia who voted for quaraezha

two: here are all the people who voted for quaraezha, if we lynch them systematically then we win (if foulcoon roleclaims)
Lilac
^ this animask guy. XD ^

Regardless, seeing this, I'm not really sure what else you want me to say. You've pinned all who voted for Q yesterday as possible Mafia if foulcoon is actually DOES have the ability to see how many Mafia did vote for the lynch which I'm not sure where you brought that up from considering he hasn't even roleclaimed (remember, a claim is still...just a claim.), plus not including yourself in the statistic of percentage of lynching Mafia seems like you really want to distance yourself.

However, it is an interesting theory and a plausible one as well, so I won't ignore that. However, after lynching Rolled and finding out he is Mafia, it is also possible that if you were to lynch either Two, rust or I that the next day that you would get a 33% chance of lynching the right person. If Rolled wasn't, then it'll be a 66% chance next day.
Sleep Powder
almost FoS Two

I understood what you said and those are the people who voted for Quy, but if we actually miss 2 out of those
and it turns out that one of the 3rd (out of 4) isn't mafia, then that would be a townie disadvantage and you both would
be an accomplice or just foulcoon.

Idea not assumption

Two and foulcoon are mafia and claiming that there is a mafia member that voted for Quy when there isn't.
Two_old
Oh lord another one. I'm hoping mario's lack of understanding is founded in his inherited mafia role, and not elsewhere...
Lilac
I think you should be answering animask instead. I was just trying to correct your statistics, that's all.
Two_old
You can't correct something that is 100% accurate, sorry. And I don't feel that I should be answering someone who doesn't even understand what he himself is talking about. It's like he randomly puts words down. I actually think you should re-read the thread starting from the end of day 1, Lilac.

Maybe directly answering him will help him though?

@Two, Rolled Two rust45 bmin11 are your suspects for mafia?
no, ph0x is my suspect for mafia

but, if foulcoon is telling the truth and really knows without a doubt that 2 mafia voted for quaraezha, then it makes no sense to vote for ph0x and we should then vote for everyone who voted for quaraezha, except me

edit for addition: so I am waiting for foulcoon to roleclaim or correct himself

Regardless if it's 100% accurate, it's still circumstantial. I know what I'm talking about, Two. Unless you are confirmed town, your initial statistic is flawed COMPLETELY. If there are two Mafia and lynching both rust and I turns up we are both town, you've done wonderfully well. I've read through this whole thread and unless you've got specific evidence to say you are town then by all means continue to pummel me and go nowhere.

Question to everybody:
Which one of these three are the most likely situation for how foulcoon claims to be certain ph0x and animask are not mafia?

1.) Q, foulcoon, animask and ph0x are all Mason. (obviously not town mason)

2.) Q, foulcoon, animask OR ph0x are Mason, and foulcoon also is a Sane Cop

3.) foulcoon has the ability to see how many mafia members voted for the lynch target

4.) foulcoon is mafia.

5.) Other. please explain.

Truthfully I couldn't tell you why everybody is trusting foulcoon (so fucking blindly), but it appears that he is indeed trusted.
Now while I personally do not think that foulcoon is mafia (though it is a possibility), I strongly feel that he's just a terribly misguided townie. In fact, I'm still going to hold strong to my original post until foulcoon gives me reason to think otherwise.

Let me get this post out of the way. A textwall will be arriving in the near future, fair warning.

That if foulcoon/DxS is probably considered Mafia due to what Chris said before he was nightkilled?
Two_old
that literally makes no sense

read what you just wrote word by word

edit: but no I am obviously not trying to make you think that foulcoon is mafia

I just wanted you to see the relationship between him and quaraezha
Rolled
Okay, there is a lot I want to say, and right now I'm really writing this whole post on the fly without much thought to the structure. Let me first of all get to the point.

If I am lynched today, the town will lose this game.
I am telling you this with utmost certainty. If I get lynched, another townie will get NKed, and the ratio will be 3 town: 2 mafia. Sure, there's a chance of town still winning, but it's a chance that it not worth taking.

The things that people pin on me for being scummy make me fucking facepalm.

I know bmin isn't even in this game anymore, but this is the situation that's sticking out the most in my head. Did everybody read my post to foulcoon? Like, READ it. Or did you just skim it, and in the end notice my sarcasm, and that's the only point sticking in your mind? Ask yourself if I (or anybody else) would build up a defense as strong as that as mafia. If your answer is yes, than thank you and all, but you're giving me way too much fucking credit.

I feel that my reasoning for feeling foulcoon being Mason is solid. I've also yet to see anybody question it. If you can't supply me reasoning as to why foulcoon is not Mason, than why is nobody considering the fact that maybe he is? Am I also the only one to notice how he went from smart ass, FoSing Rolled, super-certain Foulcoon to a grasping, kind of easy-going Foulcoon as soon as I posted?

Now let's go back and consider that maybe foulcoon has the ability to see who voted for the target on D1.

Has a role like this ever existed? Please give me a link to it on the wiki or something, as I'm not too familiar with mafia in general.
If you all are suggesting that it's a role LS just created on the spot, this game being the first to have it, I doubt that.
When LS has a new role idea, you can expect a public discussion before actually releasing it in a game.

If somebody can however direct me to the role which foulcoon supposedly has, then I will realize that I may need to change my approach in this game greatly. But until then, he's still Mason. And if foulcoon does not claim a role with this ability, than that only support the idea that he is Mason. He's practically claimed he has the ability to know that animask and ph0x are mafia, why not just state his role? (for those arguing that I'm role-fishing)

Goddddddd my thoughts are all over the place.

Let's just start quoting people now.

foulcoon wrote:

I would like to think that perhaps DxS was the mason, but when i replaced him I was given another role with the same alignment?

Also, my role PM doesn't say anything about masons at all.
The first suggestion is a joke. First and foremost, why the hell would LS give foulcoon a different role? Second, why the hell would foulcoon believe he had a different role? I see nothing but an attempt to grasp at something that isn't there in this post.

Q wrote:

We did not share Mason PMs to the mods
This above statement shows that Mason have the ability to communicate during the day (since Q was lynched d1, and Masons usually can only communicate at night IF at all) So that supplies some reasoning as to why this game is going in the direction it is going. It also supports my theory (in my eyes) that Ph0x is Mafia Mason, as his posts thus far haven't done anything but really reiterate what others have said. He's picking apart people's logic and reasoning in order to make himself seem to be open-minded to all possibilities, and hasn't really pursued any of his self-gathered tells.

In plain terms, I feel that Ph0x is using his daytime private talking ability to manipulate the other Mason's (foulcoon, animask?) into believing what they believe.

Why are you so easy to believe foulcoon?

Okay I guess that's it. This post fucking blows.

Suggestion: Is there a ballot box manager out there? If so, roleclaim.
The easiest way to find whether Foulcoon is telling the truth or not will be to lynch him, and recount the votes if he happens to be pro-town.
If I'm understanding the Ballot Box Manager's role correctly, we can undo the lynching of foulcoon after we see his confirmed role?
