My Favorite Anime Character's Mafia DP1

I really don’t like Austin buddying me. He also seems to be going for low hanging fruit in the form of inactives 

Wylted claimed genre and sex. You're up next.

Let me explain this more clearly since he might not realize it. I don't think miller claims make pie more likely to be scum than town. I think it raises the likelihood to 50% likely to be scum. With the rest of the players are approximately 33% to be scum it means that the policy lynch is the smartest move if no additional information comes up. It doesn't mean I scum read the player or anything like that. Policy lynch does not equal scum read. Simple as.

You’re slowly backtracking from your initial opinion. 

I'm not buddying you - I'm merely pointing out that your miller claim is unlikely to be a fake claim, and that policy lynching likely town is generally a poor idea. Mafia is usually won through POE rather than perfect scumreads.

Considering that most active players (I don't count Earth as an active player) are leaning town, POE would suggest that at least one of the inactive players is probably mafia. It's the random voting stage anyway, so any lynch would be equally arbitrary. The reason why it appears that I'm going for "low hanging fruit" is that I honestly don't see anything scummy about the current active players. You're probably town, That2 and whiteflame are leaning town, badger and Wylted are tilt town, while SirAnon and BK are pretty null.

I'll explain my reads more later after I get back from dinner.

When I fully backtrack I will deny my original opinion TWS style

Yes indeed.

I’m male and the genre is sci-fi as well.

I’ll bounce it over to Austin next.

My character is male, genre is drama.

I'll choose SirAnonymous to go next (no particular reason for doing so, I just don't have any scumreads so I'm choosing my most null read)

“The only ones who should kill, are those who are prepared to be killed.”

The DP ends in ~12 hours

Hi. I'm here catching up.

Suffering from burnout really bad and had a super busy week

To my understanding, Pie has claimed but no one else and we're discussing the themes of the game to figure stuff out yes?

I know a good many anime. I think Pie asked that earlier

one piece, ttgl, kill la kill, my hero academia, FMA, death note, fairy  tail a little etc.

I'm willing to soft claim with genre and sex if that's a good idea

Genre: Mecha/drama

Sex: Male

BK is next

Genre: adventure, fantasy

Sex: Male

crystalynx should be next.

I'll go ahead and start compiling these.

You missed austin.

My bad. Added.

It's actually not well played. As somebody we know is a light poster like earth being inactive doesn't mean much but from Lancelot who I would classify as a hyper poster, at least outside of mafia it seems scummy. 

He is definitely in my scum pile but I may be willing to back off with a character claim. I will wait to see how suspicious his claim looks

The only shows I have seen are one punch man and death note. I saw that hero academy movie but not the show. 

I would have a hard time determining their genre, especially when I consider anime a genre and kind of just group them all together.

Can somebody tell me if any of the above shows would be considered sci-fi? I guess one punch man maybe classified as superhero, the other two possibly sci fi but it might be a stretch. Not sure

One Punch Man is classified as sci-fi/supernatural, though I'd say it's more action with sci-fi and supernatural elements, Death Note is a supernatural mystery/thriller, and My Hero Academia is action/adventure with supernatural elements.

Genre: Fantasy/Adventure

Sex: Female

I agree with this. Frankly, having one completely inactive player (and 2 almost entirely inactive players) has slowed down this DP a lot and, unless Vader is willing to extend it to find a replacement for Lancelot, I don’t think we have the luxury of waiting for more info. So, I’ll give my reads and thoughts on a lynch.

I’m not willing to lynch Lancelot, Earth or Crystal at this point. Their inactivity makes them net harmful to this game and, frankly, it’s frustrating as hell, but at least in the latter 2 cases they’ve said something and, in Lancelot’s case, he just seems distracted by other things on the site since he has been active, but hasn’t posted here. I’m good with considering lynches on any of them next DP if they do this again.

Pie is my strongest townread, not because he claimed Miller, but because of the nature of his character claim. There’s no way he came up with that on the spot and I doubt even a hardcore anime fan would have. It could still be a fake claim given to them by Vader, but I’ve got behavioral reasons for doubting that.

Most other players are coming off as neutral. Wylted is consistently hard to read this early. Badger is engaging more and in the way I’ve seen him do it many times before. BK did have that one weird line about “These are not the types of anime I usually watch,” which may mean he knows more than just Pie’s and his own claim, but I’m seeing mostly town behavior from him, so it balances for now.

That leaves SirAnon, Austin and That2, all of whom I’m lightly scumreading. SirAnon, in particular, has been surprisingly limited in his contributions so far, largely focusing on the Miller claim without providing any meaningful contributions. It all reads as fluff. That2 has been posting pretty normally, but his response to my issue with him putting what he called a placeholder vote on Pie came off as overly defensive, especially as he pushed back on the view that he was trying to start a wagon. Also, his decision to skip the order without explanation stands out, though I can’t say whether it’s anti-town or scummy yet. Austin is my weakest scum read, but a combination of being a tad too defensive in response to Pie stood out to me. He was lighter with Badger, so it’s hard to tell if he’s just being a bit more responsive to a stronger reason to sus him, but I’m on the fence about it.

So if we had to pick a lynch, I’d go with SirAnon, though I’ll settle for a character claim if we can’t get the votes with so many inactives. At this point, I will not be satisfied with a soft claim, so if we don’t get an extension and/or the votes to push a claim, that will be my aim at the start of the next DP.

My character is Kamina from Gurren Laggan.

48 hours for DP1 is not a lot of time to pick a lynch.

Oops, was typing on my phone and didn't see that.
