I'm not going to pretend I have a good understanding of the theme. At best, what I have is a conception of who many of characters are likely to be in this game based on what little I've read on the subject. I'd say most of my analysis of the game so far has to do with the mechanics rather than the theme, but I am trying to pick it up where I can.

Yeah I don’t really know much about the theme either other than what I read about recently on BKs character (apparently she made a wish for wealth based on growing up poor but it was like a monkey paw curse) which seems to align with the millionaire thing.

Considering how deep into the wiki I had to read to get to that part makes me buy the claim a little bit though. Unless of course pie have the fake claim, but yeah I don’t see someone unfamiliar with the theme and mafia as a whole putting that together.

I can concede that maybe that's how play at town. I just think you've uncharacteristically pushy than what I've personally seen (ofc granted this is obviously been years since I've had a full game), but fmpov it's different from I remember. I may take a look back at these games later today once I finished my school work
I'll admit I'm leaving my reasoning for why I'm buying specific character claims out of my explanations so far. I don't view the role (Millionaire) as sus on its face. I didn't view the Prophet role as sus. I viewed the existence of a Prophet with a fake claim as sus.
But this is the problem. Why do you not see this role as sus at face. Maybe I missed it but it makes no sense to me. For someone to view an existence of a Prophet as 3p with a fake claim as sus compared to Millionaire that has effectively no use. We also know that Pie hadn't given a fake claim in the past 2 (thought he has a history and a mod psyche debate is brutal).

It really isn't that hard. I honestly wasn't familiar with The Ultimate Fighter TV Show and I still came up with a comprehensive list of characters and came up with a justification for the role. I used to do this even during older games that you can look at... If someone invests the time they can do that. And also BK is not necessarily "new." Granted he hasn't adjusted to the game fully but I think he has the mental capacity to find a fakeclaim

I'll give my full reads at the moment. My read changes on whiteflame from slight scum to FoS because I could be wrong about behaviors but once I fully read tonight, I will make the final decision

Scum

Slight Scum
Best.Korea (role + defensiveness)

FoS
whiteflame (slight scum potential)
Greyparrot (lean null more)

Null
anyone not listed

Slight Town
Austin
Luna

Lean Town


Town

I gave very specific reasoning as to why I sussed the Prophet claim. It had nothing to do with the reality of what a Prophet is - it had everything to do with the nature of his fake claim and... just the fact that it exists. I similarly don't sus the Millionaire claim for what it is.

Neither do I as shown through my inactivity through 2-7. But you are just actively lurking around in the forum doing nothing and contributing nothing besides being dead weight. Give us your reads, thoughts, and analytics, etc.

FoS just means finger of suspicion, it means that someone has noted you as possible scum. It doesn't mean they actually think you are scum.

I’m looking at him as scum. When I was his scum last game he seemed to be playing differently than he is now. As for everyone else…. I get lost in the seas of paragraphs so that’s when I loose track.

I think WF is town. His playstyle is seeming to be different than when I was his scum partner. He is much more engaged in the conversation.

I disagree, I think we should wait until at after N1, so we have more information to determine if inactives like Vader are likely lying

The post number by it has a link inside it: E.g., #266


Either are fine. I like the second because by just hovering the mouse over it, I get a decent amount of information.
