Mayday Mafia DP1

Good morning, all. Miss me?

And this time, since we're aware of it and thinking about it, we're not going to fall for any neon blinking signs saying "YOU SHOULD LYNCH THIS PERSON" in any flips, yes?

My PM confirms to me that mafia has some sort of Role obscuring or changing ability. This could be a anything from a full on tailor to a janitor based on the wording. All I know is I won't be fully trusting death flips. 

Thanks for that.

By the way, in this game I have been assured by the moderator that I am town, but I am confused, because according to earth Guide to Forum Mafia, my role is under Mafia Roles, but the moderator assures me I am town. So I just am giving a heads up this time around.

I could tell this is going to be a pretty crazy game.

While we're on the subject of activity, what are people's thoughts on getting some softclaims? I don't pretend to know what the theme split will be, but the split could be between different types of incidents (e.g. specific reasons for a given crash are scum while others are town, whether the black box was recovered, where they went down) or it could be differing results of air accident investigations (e.g. known vs. unknown causes).

This seems like a theme we could interrogate a bit, so it might be worth getting softclaims to narrow the window on these. I'd be happy to go first, regardless of the choice, but I'd like to invite discussion over this.

You know me, my usual MO is to get the game started with soft claims. In this case, there aren't really any obvious directions to go imo, but something like whether the black box was recovered or whether the cause of the accident is known for sure might be a decent start. 

I was thinking about this last night, but idk the best way to do it

I think there is an argument in either direction, but I think we should just scumhunt the old fashioned way before pressuring for character claims.

The pilot, for bizarre reasons, had allowed his kids to sit in the cockpit... While seated at the controls, the pilot's 15-year-old son had unknowingly partially disengaged the A310's autopilot control of the aircraft's ailerons. The autopilot then disengaged completely, causing the aircraft to roll into a steep bank and a near-vertical dive. - Aeroflot_Flight_593

Moozer was online 3 hours ago, but didn’t say anything 

We'll need to be careful about that with all these legacy roles. No doubt scum have the capacity to manipulate results, like Luna said, and given that everyone essentially has a double role, I suspect scum are going to be powerful in this game.

Helps me pressure Moozer plz

Are you all in Euro time zones, is that why there's so much banter in the middle of the day when I expect that people would be at work...?

Pie, do you think we should pressure someone besides Moozer?
