This is not nearly as comprehensive as it normally would be, I feel that discussion this game is suffering due to a lack of skill of the people actually in the game sadly, and the only people who I particularly trust to be not mafia are the highest three on my list and I've been bouncing around on the placement of the other eleven players and the last three times I did it I ended up with these groupings.
Right now I'm most comfortable with a Rune lynch.
1. He's telling the truth, so his death is neutral to town.
2. He's lying and is scum, so his death is beneficial.
3. He's lying and he's town. Would a town player ever want to do that though?
Ok yeah, I found this from earlier, this is pretty much a CP of what Evan had wrote.
mafia can do the opposite, sure, but especially in the case of a surv claim, it becomes harder to maintain as time goes on
like I get what you're saying but I def think that surv claim situations are pretty clear-cut
- if rune is scum, we leave him alone for most of the game until lylo and lynch him, so his claim doesn't help him
- lol if rune is town, TP claims can't be town
- if rune is hostile TP, we track the kills each phase and we realize there's probably a SK so we vig shoot or lynch him, doesn't help him
Basically the only time it benefits rune to claim surv as scum is...never. It helps him live through the game to be sure, but he locks himself in to getting PoE'd really fast end of game
I am supportive of lynching someone else but only if we can be reasonably sure they are scum. A Rune lynch isn't ideal, but is a good fallback.
I agree with Evan and Dolby on Antonio. Such passive play definitely looks scummy to me.
Antonio, we have to lynch someone. Who's it gonna be?
I'm gonna get some pushback on this, but I'm going to say Antonio and Silver aren't a scumteam in my view. Silver is inexperienced, but scum want some new content on their partners if they're going to bus them, rather than simply concur with experienced players opinions halfway through the day. But more significantly, this is her first scumread outside Rune, who's lynch is clearly going to fail at this point, and the way she goes forward with it is simply to strong to be a reluctant bus from her.
Calamity: Nope, nothing at the moment.
Punchy: He's the person I'm reading more than Rune. I need him to post a lot more before I can state my reason why because it would mess things up.
Also, I'm not trying to be all about Rune. Usually when playing mafia, I don't intend to but I focus on a particular person (Fire, Punchy, etc in past games) because well...I'm not sure. Maybe because I have an opinion that I think they are this alignment that I strongly believe is credible therefore I state it often.
Honestly would've been better for you to say that you had no thoughts on the two here Antonio
Btw, I've seen a few people suggesting and talking about the connection between Waffles and Punchy and its kind of been sitting on the backburner for some of the people who sus Punchy, and I really disagree with the argument that they would be scum together. They've had three points where I would say that they somewhat naturally interacted with eachother directly or indirectly. First of all was when Punchy came in sussing Farobi for sussing me for sussing Waffles, even for counterproductive Punchy, I would see no reason to go after Farobi here with Waffles as his teammate. He's taking out the person who's taking out the person who's taking out his teammate. The another is the oft-cited "Punchy feels town" post from Waffles, and that's simply two obvious a connection.
Waffles later rebukes that here, but this really isn't something a scum teammate would do. Punchy just got some of the sus off of him (at least that from Kayla). Knowing Waffles, she'd run away with the chance to get sus off of her teammate, but no
Girl why do I feel like its scripted?
For now I feel like Rune lynch is much more safer but I rather save it in mid game in case we have a doubt who to lynch.
