...There's not much of a point of disguising the gender of the character, is there? It's not like that changes much- my character's a "he" not a "they."

The gender of mine is basically guaranteed to be more interesting than anyone else's.

But I see no real benefit in mass gender claims. It boxes in fake claims, but that's only really useful when there's a limited character pool.

Is there a question we could ask that would actually be helpful. This won't get us anywhere

Is there actually any way we can effectively scum hunt on the first DP. Last time the only reason there was really any action was because of Austin.

It sounds like you're volunteering to talk about your social reads so far. By all means, go ahead!

I am mildly curious about the general alignment layout of this game (ie 9 Town 2 Mafia, 8 Town 3 Mafia, 8 Town 2 Mafia 1 3p/Neutral, etc.), although there's not much we can do beyond speculating about it at this point.

What's the general feel for 3rd Party/Neutral/Independent/Unaligned/Any other name for non-Town and non-Mafia roles on this forum? Should we expect one to exist here?

Apologies for the slow pace of the game. The past few games' D1s have trended towards around 1k posts, so I'm a bit surprised. Third parties are rare here in general, but this particular host has been known to put them in his games. I would guess this game is 8-2-1, although I wouldn't be surprised at a 9-2 or 7-2-1-1 split as well.

Since it's a slow news day, I'll claim my character to invite some discussion: Don Corleone.

We do have Austin in this game... Wouldn't you expect him(?) to cause "action" here too, or was there a mechanical circumstance in that previous game?

He claimed he had a power to determine scum from three people, so mechanical. I didn't follow up after I was lynched but he was lying for some reason.

That's a bit audacious, considering that's quite literally a Mafia Don.

My initial reaction would be to give you a townread for giving that up with no pressure, since it "looks" so bad, but I'm wary of a "refuge in audacity" bluff. You, or someone else, can correct me if this is wrong, but from the few posts I've seen from you so far, you strike me as someone who might try to pull that sort of strategy off.

I am going to go ahead and say it. If there is a cop in this game than Austin is the godfather and will investigate innocent so no point in any cop wasting an investigation on him

Can other people character claim so we can get something to go on. Also did lunatic say there is no theme or are we guessing?

Welcome to Villainous Villains mafia! For this game, most players chose their own characters, except for a couple instances where a character wasn't chosen, I just made one for them. In this game, there is no theme split. 
(From the OP)

At the very least, characters should give a vague hint towards abilities- though I'm not sure if giving Mafia that information is a good idea.

I don't think that character claiming is as much of a help to the scum team as Pie suggests, as the only thing linking all our characters is some amount of villainy, but for his sake I will simply do a soft claim for now. My villain is from the greater Mario franchise, though not one of the main villains. That is, I am not Bowser, Bowser Jr., Kamek, or any of the Koopalings.

@Barney
Why did you pick the Gamer for Billy Mitchell? I gave a quick google and found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Mitchell, which I thought could fit the villain theme because of:

He antagonized many administrative leaders of the Army with his arguments and criticism and in 1925, his temporary appointment as a brigadier general was not renewed, and he reverted to his permanent rank of colonel, due to his insubordination. Later that year, he was court-martialed for insubordination after accusing Army and Navy leaders of an "almost treasonable administration of the national defense"[4] for investing in battleships. He resigned from the service shortly afterwards.
