@thea or Fred, do your role PMs specify you can only communicate through your discord chat?
It says we can chat through the Discord. There is no specific allowance or mention of chatting via PM one way or the other.

Ok, then you're right.
I didn't think of the bleeding obvious "why not ask the claimed masons" and just kind of just assumed everything was allowed as long as you send everything to the mods with a discord for convenience.

It was an interesting sort of Rorschach test to see how people interpreted my quotes.

Maybe I was overestimating how easy it was to interpret them because I knew what I was trying to say.
NGL, I think this is misplaced. The issue isn't that what you said isn't understandable (most of the time, you never did get to clarify if sundown was metaphorical or literal and for that day, that day phase, etc), it was the lack of complex thoughts and explanations justifying sentiments conveyed. I don't think your style prevented it either, you just didn't and I think doing that would've led people to engage with you much more.
I don't really agree with this. We played a game a few years back where BoomFrog did nothing but Woof and Grr at people for the better part of D1 and I do not recall it being difficult for people to engage or interact with him despite the lack of complex thought. Maybe I just don't have BoomFrog's genius, but I disagree that it is impossible in principle to engage with someone whose thoughts are very brief.
You were the only person who expressed this concern, and it was in a "I want you to explain all of your reads in more detail" sense, which I wouldn't have done even if I were playing normally. Specific reads, yes, but the whole thing? Not a chance.

Mak is super obvTown and I won't hear otherwise at this point.
Mind explaining this more? I've had Mak as a townlean since his play near EoD but I don't think anything he's done is outside his scum range so I'm curious what you think crosses the line into obvious town.
Tone mostly. His excitement about the Night results and whatever it was he believed he did to effect them screams Town to me. His scum play tends to be fairly reserved and cagey in my experience.

to be absolutely clear I am NOT claiming to be the joat. I am obviously claiming a PR though, but I starting to realize this game probably is not very mountainous at all so that probably means very little
I do not claim to have any explicit results on anyone. my initial reaction to the day start post was based on a completely erroneous understanding of the timing of my ability and thus the knowledge or partial knowledge I was saying I had is not accurate. I mean I could still be right about what I think happened, but I def do not have the data to make me more confident in the theory that I thought I had
At this point, here's what I see:
Never the play today:
Thea
Fred
Seven
Undecided but would need a good reason to consider them as plays:
JC
Wam
Somi
Moody
OMGUS:
Santy
Plays:
Adum
Bessie
HOWEVER ADUM IS COMPLETELY CONTINGENT ON SEVEN EXPLAINING HOW THEY KNOW THE RESULT IS TAMPERED
At this point I really cannot move on until Seven gives us the juice. We need to resolve the adum situation first and foremost. Seven if you think we are flailing and being destructive please take the wheel and walk us through the possible worlds you see based on your information re: the adum result, it will help ground us

Mafia games are meant to be fun but this one is obviously not completely hitting the spot for everyone right now, and for that I'm truly sorry.

The immediate most logical interpretation is a cop with loud results, and said loud results cop is either paranoid or insane.
mods can you confirm a random cop would be considered bastard by the rules?
I wouldn't personally consider a random cop bastard if at least 1 player knew the fact in their role PM, however given all the drama you should all remember I personally don't like randomness in mafia games at all, as I prefer things to be deterministic, and that when I declare a game non-bastard I would be inclined to be more conservative in that definition of bastardry than in what I'd consider bastard as a player.
Also for the record while I'm a traffic engineer, I'm not a traffic analyst (which is actually a computer science thing), I specialise in assessing the safety of road designs

ADDENDUM TO MY LAST SUBSTANTIVE POST:
I could be convinced to not go adum if his own claim is sufficiently persuasive enough to convince me he was in fact targeted for the NK and he caused his own survival, or something along those lines. this could be sufficient for me independent of Seven making relevant PR claims to explain why the result is tampered, so either or if we are trying to conserve how many full or mostly full claims we make

Normally, no she shouldn't.

Doing her utmost to preserve their role secrecy in order to preserve things for CC is the right move unless I was about to get hammered.

Stream of consciousness post:
Adum's reaction means he didn't think he's a miller, and unknowingly being a miller does seem bastard.
Seven wrote:

Each of these are separate actions by separate players.
So, action 2 is what caused action 1 to produce action 4 which we are hypothesizing has been tampered with?

The fact that this went through your brain and you still went Leroy Jenkins after Adum is highly suspicious.
And i see Thea has decided that she's picking up for BoomFrog this game. Thea's claim is also the only reason the Family Truckster is parked this game.

I'm kind of ambivalent on bessie at the moment. I think her reaction to how I've been playing so far is fine, bordering on too generous if anything. I don't really understand her push on Fred, and I think it's interesting that she apparently ignored what was by far the scummiest posts of Fred's (those related to him not reading his role) and focused on more flightly concerns. I think it's possible her SoD post was prewritten which I feel is slightly scum indicative. Putting her on scum lean at the moment.
1. Interesting you claim to be ambivalent of me. In your opening paragraph of this post, you claim that you were hoping for people to try to understand your content, and I was the only one who did so and defended it. So I am suspicious of this remark.
2. Fred not reading his role has been discussed by others. You want me to cut and paste so that you can accuse me of copying others’ content? And perhaps what is flighty to you is serious to me.
3. I don’t know what you mean by SoD. Please link the post.

Just to be abundantly clear in my understanding of this:

You are speculating the second JoaT is a framer who targeted Adum.
Another player X is a cop who received a non-Town result on Adum.
Assuming I have this correct, my question would be, why do you think your result was not tampered with but the other cop's was, if the scum JoaT was targeting Adum?

This is odd to me. I consider myself a mountain-centered player: one who prioritizes player content over PR information. I'll utilize the latter, yes, but the former takes priority when they are in conflict and there are hidden variables. Are you not the same? You believe Adum would react as he did as scum?
That being said, I will lay out my role and speculation since several people are asking for clarification.
What I know:
- I am Loud Jack of all trades
- The public aspect of my result reveals the name of the role I used, but not who I targeted or what the result of the actions was.
- I used my cop ability N1 on Adum. I privately received the result that Adum is town.
What I am inferring:
- My reveal was the first in the day start post.
- There is a second Loud JOAT that also targeted Adum.
- This second JOAT has their results revealed in the form of who they targeted, but not what role they used or what the result of the action was.
- There is a third Loud investigative (potentially a JOAT, potentially a cop) that is responsible for the fourth reveal in the day start post. Their results reveal in the form of what the result was.
What I am speculating:
- The result that Adum is non-town is false.
- Initially I suspected this was due to a Tailor. Note that the difference between Framer and Tailor is that the former targets a player and alters any investigative results on that player, while the latter targets an investigator and alters that investigator's results only. Therefore, if it is the case that reveal #4 is not a result of my cop, Adum could not have been targeted by a Framer since my private result is in disagreement. It is possible, however, that a Tailor targeted the investigator who is tied to reveal #4.
- Currently, I think that reveal #4 is a result of a Paranoia/Insane modifier rather than a Tailor due to what others have said.
And yes, Mak, I did indeed receive your gift. Thank you.

There are several other speculations I have about why the day-start results ended up as I did. One fun one is this:
Results come in the fashion of: [role][target][outcome]
There could be a player that alters the announcement of one of these. For example, N1 they could have chosen to alter [target] to [Adum], such that all public announcements that involve [target] say [Adum] rather than who the players actually did target. I have no evidence for this, it's just a fun thought. The one thing that leads me to something in this general area is that in my initial speculation, all three supposed cops targeted Adum, which I think is very unlikely.
Adum does seem to be implying some sort of lightning roddy role though? For the record, I specifically submitted my action on Adum, not redirected there.

@Seven, For the record, I do think Thea is right that Mak's more relaxed play aligns more with town Mak, and his a big part of why I'm townleaning him. That said given his mountainous preference I am wondering why he seems to think I'm still scum and I'm wondering why he was interested in a quick-yeet without giving me a chance to talk.
I'm REALLY interested in his role clarification when that does happen, that may help us understand his thought process.
As far as your entries speculation to the loud role info and points about these all being seperate things:
That's part of why I initially read read the "adum is non-town" as supposed to be understood as mod confirmed information rather than a loud role result, and therefore that non-killing scum had the ability to present arbitrary messages as mod confirmed, and concluded the game was fully bastard rather than bleeding edge of bastard like I now believe. They were distinct entries.
For the record, until now, I thought the second one was just you, and that your overall role had loud targetting, but your abilities (or at least this one) also had separate loud targetting, role name reveal, and power reveal which created a second separate entry but now I wonder if you were hit with something that separately revealed your role, target, and what power you used but not the result.
You're confirming your cop ability didn't have something of that nature?
Seven wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2024 7:13 amAdum does seem to be implying some sort of lightning roddy role though? For the record, I specifically submitted my action on Adum, not redirected there.
I am not. For the record I think based on what I said, I think the intrinsic role should be obvious, but so scum can't make correct NK decisions I need to preserve ambiguity about certain elements of the role. As a result, I think confirming too much is anti-town, at least at this juncture.

Maybe I'll check out the game if it still exists and somebody can link it, but I wonder if boom just did it better mechanically. Similarly to how I think creative use of the quotes would allow you to express more complex thoughts I think.
I don't think this has to be full detail, but explaining the broad strokes of your thought process so people could latch onto things.
Given what you expressed, the only thing that I felt could be latched onto was your read progression, which only Santy pursued.
Speaking of which, Santy has kinda dropped off, I was hoping for more from the two of you

Mind explaining this more? I've had Mak as a townlean since his play near EoD but I don't think anything he's done is outside his scum range so I'm curious what you think crosses the line into obvious town.
Tone mostly. His excitement about the Night results and whatever it was he believed he did to effect them screams Town to me. His scum play tends to be fairly reserved and cagey in my experience.
This I agree on.

Hey Bessie, would you mind explaining if your read of me changed between your last word/grrr list and if so when and why.
Particularly I'd like to know if this happened based on things that happened last game day, between the beginning of D2 and my entrance, and between my entrance and now along with the rationale.

Oh yeah, and Bessie, Fredd has great reads as the game goes on but has a tendency to make terrible decisions so I don't know if encouraging him to be town leader is a good idea.

Kinda thought that point was moot, seeing as it was directed at Thea and just had an opinion on me.
I was expecting people who expressed issues with it to want to question you more. If they just don't I'll explain my thoughts.

Adum does seem to be implying some sort of lightning roddy role though? For the record, I specifically submitted my action on Adum, not redirected there.
I don't know if it was anything inherent in his role, but as inquisitorial as he was acting D1 and as townie as I thought him, he may have attracted a lot of PR attention just based on that.

Hence my quote about good intentions.

Bessie and Seven for more details.their interactions eod has made me th8nk it's TvS but I don't know which way and I'm not.awake enough or have enough time to dig into that feeling.
Do think that eod between you and Seven was tvs and if seven is town....
Irrespective of all the result I also think adums reaction was so genuine I would be very impressed if they are scum.
JC and make takes are weird
