Mayday Mafia DP1

Okay, turns out I was wrong and I can claim my legacy role. Because no one died on my flight, I have access to the total number of deaths on all of these flights. I can't share it, but It will be released upon my death.

Again, this is an area where Moozer is being ambiguous, but I don't think the number is based on the number of players remaining, I think it's just a static, unchanging number based on all the players. If Moozer is telling the truth, however, then scum HAVE to have a Janitor or a Tailor. The game would be too town sided otherwise. 

It's not so much as me believing his claim, but the fact that I can see him being Strengthener.

Although, I will admit his claim is kinda odd and would like him to fully clarify.

I don’t see the connection between no one dying and knowing the total deaths on all the flights. It’s also odd that you can’t share it because it’s not all that helpful to town. Scum can get fake claims and therefore, the numbers will probably never add up, and you wouldn’t know who is lying about their number

Yes, but you could find all the ways to add up the numbers from all the claims and all the flips and figure out which set of claims adds up to the actual total. Most likely there would only be one or two, which would make the PoE trivial for town. That's why the scum team would need to be able to interfere with flips.

Look at it this way. Moozer shares the total number of fatalities from all the incidents in the game. We force a mass claim and have everyone reveal their character, then look for every possible way the numbers could add up to Moozer's total. Chances are, there'd only be one. We then kick out the scum. Game is solved DP1. Completely unfair to the scum team. If Moozer is telling the truth about his legacy role, he'd have to be forbidden from sharing the number. It's the only way it could be balanced.

I just have a bad feeling about this lynch lol...

That’s not true though. The number will never add up to the true number as long as scum fake claim, which they likely will. If the number is 1000, there are a million ways to get there, and you don’t know who is fake claiming or not.

I realized after I made my post that  the total would also presumably include scum claims, not just town claims.

Actually that's true, I realized after I made my post that  the total would also presumably include scum claims, not just town claims. In that case you're right, there would be no way to solve the game so easily DP1, but I still think Moozer's legacy would be useful to the town. Given what we know about scum's manipulative potential, I think Moozer's claim is very interesting. I'm actually more willing to buy it now that he's expanded on it.

I disagree. Because it’s not broken at all, why would Austin design it in a way where he can’t claim that.

It's early town info, before even NP1. Besides, it's clear that the whole point of the legacy roles is to get people involved and active in the game. No freebie advantages to the town.

Austin could’ve made it so that you have to post 25 times before saying the number. There’s no reason why he would’ve made it 25 posts and only if you die considering it’s a weak role to begin with.

Each player's role has two parts - a regular role, and a legacy role. The legacy role will activate on death if and only if that player has met an activity requirement - 25 posts in the previous day phase.

All the legacy roles activate upon death. It's plainly stated in the OP. 

Wait, actually it doesn’t matter. The role activates at death, but why does Austin prohibit Moozer from saying it before death. 

Upon investigation, the crash was found to have been caused primarily by negligence on the part of the flight crew... [a] misinterpretation changed the navigational direction entered in the computer from north-northeast (27.0°) to west (270°)... ultimately leading to spatial disorientation, fuel exhaustion, and a crash landing in the Amazon rainforest. - Varig Flight 254

What's the point of Austin telling Moozer what the number is, but not letting him say it? Wouldn't it be better if Austin went "when you die, I will announce the total number of fatalities of every character combined."?

Because then the legacy role would be redundant. The whole point is to get the players active in the game so that they can actually give their team an advantage.

That's a good question. I do find that a bit odd, though I could still see it potentially being in the game. Right now, I'd like to hear a little more from Banana and Cerulean. They haven't spoken up in a bit.
