Round 1 begins in 3… 2… 1…

Rules: (Expect a lot of obvious mafia game rules that you already know about here.)

Players may not contact each other about the game aside from in-thread and game-approved PMs. Dead players contacting the living players to better spectate the game is acceptable as long as no information is revealed or hints/tips are given to the living player. However, I strongly prefer dead players contact me for information if they want to spectate. Dead players may contact other dead players.

Spectating players may not reveal information about this game (roles, characters, etc.) since all players can see it. Any players given inside information still relevant to the game cannot replace other players.

If a player is replaced out, they may not reveal information about this game (see above) unless I specifically allow them to replace someone in the game. Mafia players cannot become replacements. If a Town player replaces a Mafia player, their former player slot no longer wins with the Town.

Once a player is dead they may not communicate in-thread, or like posts. They may still communicate in game approved PMs, however. Also, players may not talk after the DP has ended. During twilight it is fine to talk, but not after final vote count and flip are posted.

No players may C/P their role PM or fake doing so. If you post your role PM to claim, it must be paraphrased. Violators will be modkilled.

DO NOT edit your posts in DP threads. Violators will be modkilled.

All questions to me about the game will be answered wherever they were posted as long as they can be answered without ruining the game. I can and will answer all hypotheticals, but cannot answer questions about unrevealed information, with a few exceptions that will already be specified at the start of the game without the need for players to ask about. Example: If a player asks if there is a cop in the game, I cannot confirm or deny that. I can, however, answer questions about how a cop would work if it were to be in the game, since that is a hypothetical.

The role a player gets will be the role that player gets. Do not ask me to have you swapped for something else, please. I will deny the request in all circumstances.

Please respect the other players around you. If violated, penalties may vary, but I will always give a warning first. This will be loosely enforced; I will only step in on the worst of circumstances, so don't expect me to do anything if someone merely mocks or teases you.

Player list

1. Greyparrot
2. Pie
3. Casey
4. Wylted
5. Vader
6. Lunatic
7. Savant
8. Austin
9. Whiteflame

With 9 alive, it takes 5 votes to lynch. The DP ends in 72 hours, or on Tuesday, Feb. 4 at 11:00 pm (US Eastern Time).

—————

MOD NOTE:

All townies have the following ability…

Faction Perk: Disciplined- Avoiding the wagon on the day of a mislynch, or being the hammer on a correct wagon makes your next night’s ability guaranteed to succeed.

—————

GLHF!

SOP claim:

I am Killcam. I am a mechanic that allows you to see what the opponent saw when they killed you.

I am a Gravedigger. I passively appear to visit any player that died in the night

I win with the town

Alright, seems like a relatively simple theme though I don't have a lot of experience with shooter games (mostly just Counter Strike once upon a time).

As for your SOP claim, it does make sense that you'd clarify it early. That means there's a town Tracker/Watcher or some other variant in play. And, obviously, no one should out that role if it's theirs. It's interesting that you're the Killcam, not something I was expecting based on my character, but it's giving me a wider idea of what could be in the game.

@Mharman I'm guessing based on the lack of specification in this regard that there is no theme split?

HI!

Dammit, you beat me claiming this game!

I AM the Tag System! I'm an advanced battlefield marking system, designed to help teammates track enemy movements and identify high-value targets. While I don’t engage directly, my intel can turn the tide of battle by highlighting key threats. Therefore, I am
a 1x Rolecop. Once per game, I can "tag" a player, revealing their role but not their alignment (won't tell me if it's town, scum, or 3p). My system scans and identifies their function on the battlefield, but it cannot determine whether they are an ally or an enemy.
I win with the town.

For this reason, I don't see scum claiming gravedigger unless they have some information about roles or they're making some weird gambit. It will become apparent later if there's no tracker or watcher, at which point we can put Vader on the chopping block, but he's in my town pile for now.

Yep, same reason he's in mine.

I think the faction perk implies that the scum team has some kind of blocking ability?

highlighting key threats
This is a better justification for role cop from a scum perspective. From town perspective, you have to know the player's alignment to know if they're a threat.

For the moment at least (because I'm not going to do a lot of analysis tonight since it's late and I'm tired), I'm just acknowledging what I see. I'll interrogate claims more tomorrow. I do find it interesting that he's the Tag System.

So far, we've got a replay mechanic and a means of tracking targets. They're both mechanics that function out of the direct control of the the player, which is one distinction from mine.

Not sure what that implies, but I'll deal with that in the morning. Signing off.

Home now, will probably go to bed soon but I decided to catch up on the thread first. Vader beat GP at instaclaiming this game, lol. His claim makes sense to me. GP's, on the other hand...

Role Cop is slightly sus to begin with as it tends to lean scum, though certainly not always. As a town role, it's typically used in games where there are many roles which could easily belong to either side, such as Jailkeeper or Rolestopper. Tough to say whether this is that kind of game yet, though based on my own role, I'm not convinced. I could let the claim slide for now... if not for post #26. What? #10 does not read like it was paraphrased by ChatGPT at all, it was clearly written in GP's own voice.

Why are you lying?

I didn't lie, I paraphrased what chatgpt paraphrased. Why would you accuse me of lying? Seems a little sus.

Yeah, I know rolecop isn't usually town, but that's what I got dealt anyway. I think I shouldn't vote today so my action will be guaranteed. I suspect scumteam will try to mess with whatever result I get.

That makes no sense. Why would you have ChatGPT paraphrase your PM just to paraphrase the paraphrase? Why not just paraphrase your PM directly?

It's not guaranteed if we lynch scum today. What makes you convinced we will mislynch today?
