Awww, thank you! I hope you all are enjoying it! ^_^

Sorry Boom if this was your idea and you wanted to pull the trigger after Somi!!!!!! If this doesn't get me nightkilled I'm gonna be riding this high for forever. If I'm wrong......uh. Well. I'll feel the shame and embarrassment when I know. I don't know what the hell Santy is.

Boom is not beating the allegations of secretly being my BF (well now husband!)

I would normally mock Mak mercilessly if he get into a townie death spiral, or at least forced two important town roles to claim, because he made a wrong assumption about an important mechanical question about his role.

But he just had a death in the family and I'll just feel bad if that's what happens now

For reference, roleblockers don't normally affect passive roles, it's generally restricted to active roles with psychics being an occasional exception. Sabrar mentioned this before, correctly here.

There is a generic "unless interfered with", clause, but a roleblock or jail isn't what would interfere with it. Usually it's nothing that can.

But there is one ability that does interfere with it. Madge has indignation as one of her JOAT powers, which's in-game function is a strongman kill that also disables anything that occurs on reaction, including Mak's ability. This is fully intentional btw, it's partially a balancing element on his power because it allows malevolance mafia to just fully remove one person from the game without hunting Sorey out.

@scum: please just kill me.

Well, I'm mafia. However, we know there are other mafia. Yet, I try my hardest to eliminate scum and the townies run off townies instead. Yes, y'all are correct that I'm only giving town pings because I'm playing exactly like my town game. However, I'm totally ignoring my buddy, and they are read quite town compared to me. You see, if you post scumreads that are universally town read for wack reasons, everyone will sus you. I'm only doing this to shake up the town, and solve because that's what I enjoy to do. I don't like being mafia at all, and you won't find me playing like this as scum in single ball. My confidence is an issue, but at times I'm not even referencing my confidence levels, so I feel like I need more from Sabrar on his issue with me. This goes beyond the game.

As I told Madge, I've been in countless games where I scumread a player with confidence, bravado, and they flip town. Then after the game is finished I re-read it and hate myself for never ever changing my stance. Yolo / Marshy has suggested to me to post much much less and I might have better reads, and it's true. Yet I will say with that, I don't feel engaged and I run the risk of getting elimmed because I get lazy.

Anyway, I'm solving as hard as I can because in the end it doesn't matter which way the wind blows. Whatever yeet happens is good as long as it isn't me or my team mate. Solving will just make me look town and it's what I want to do when I play mafia. Without that aspect I lose all motivation. I'll let y'all guess who my buddy is though whoever reads this.

The funny thing is people will attribute this to me being scum mostly, which is fine. I will admit the constant read changing is subpar for my image. At the very least if I somehow die my abundant interactions will be able to taint others and people won't look into the lack of interaction I'm having with my team mate. If they let Hippo get away with scumclaiming then I think I can get away with this. In the future I really need to try the low posting playstyle. Constantly reading and giving thought into my reads, but not engaging so things can happen naturally.

This utter lack of cohesion against all fucking odds................the guy whose role justifies reads like this won't listen to them......from people he had mod confirmation aren't what he's hunting...............I do think this actually helps but lmao. lol. laugh. all those.

Made a monster flavor post for Wam's death, assuming it happens. If not... I'll store it for later, and be disappointed if he never gets yeeted, cause it's really yeet flavor. Though, I tend to root for the underdog so I'm rooting for him to sneak out somehow.

Also, what EGW said "we're past the point of no return" in scumchat, has got me singing past the point of no return

Wam is a trooper btw, and that was a damn good attempt to come back from it with an audacious claim.

Edit: I am mad at Heury, I triple checked to be sure, yes it explicitly says that:

Not all players are aware of characters from the distant past (from the game bersaria), do with it what you will

in his role PM.

After role PM flavor about him being from the distant past.

Also, check the damn wiki please. I mean, unless this is a Gambit, not sure what the reason is but sure.

Seeing the gif and the indy color was def a jumpscare , luckily after a second of panic I read the actual role and decided it wasnt real and kept reading wowee .


Sorry for the tunnel Wam , really didnt felt lucky from your part that I sub in gunning hard for you to then the flavor also being a damning evidence haha

Wam, Edna, alternating even days Town traffic analyst, odd days Independent "Eizen or not" role cop, full time compulsive ninjaing doctor to Eizen was sealed away (eliminated)

I was so confused. I was all ready to get in Santy's grill about how I was right and how were they going to explain their "confirmation" that wam's role was fake.

hahahaha what just happened

i got so confused when wam flipped as his actual claim


speaking of claims, i am in a neighbourhood with moody and he's conftown but i didn't actually claim, mostly because i was trying to squirrel away what abilities to claim to have

so i'm now discussing my night actions with moody as though i'd already claimed so i can claim to have forgotten (very easy with my travel/work/etc)

I'm not going to play any future games with a morning deadline, it's not good for me. My stupid brain woke me up at 4am, by the time I reread the thread wam was hammered and I have been pondering possible scenarios ever since.
