Just caught up. I definitely think Dolby's reaction to waffles was rather weird and Punchy's reaction to Farobi was odd as well. Inclined to believe Rune's survivor claim cuz he was under literally no pressure and has no reason to claim surv early d1 as either scum or hostile third.

BTW love the flavor about me, Panem's gonna get diggered

Can you expand on this a bit more, by the ways ? Why is it suspicious to you ?

Because the way he claimed town by saying "As town" thats a very odd way to claim imo.
But he did say it was a mistake.

So far I don't have any suspicions as of moment but I think Punchy is town and misunderstood the whole thing and rest are null (will change later...)

I find it strange that in the situation between Punchy, Dolby and Farobi that you chose to focus on Punchy. Do you have any comments about Dolby and what he's said about you ? He's really focused on you right now.

In that moment I felt like Farobi was more Town than Punchy or Dolby. I don't see Farobi, as mafia, going after Dolby that quickly on the whole " thinking like Town " situation. But someone correct me if I'm wrong.

What's your favorite alignment and why?
Third party, it's unique wincon makes the game more complicated and challenging. Also, i only have to keep my own self-preservation in mind
How many serious games have you played?
A couple irl, but this will be my first tbt mafia game.
How active are you planning on being?
Pretty active. i dont have anything going on right now, like how others have tests coming up. I probably won't contribute as much/as substantially as other players though since im a noob.

Good Morning!

Are you guys 100% sure rune claim isn't fake? I mean his claim was in his first message of the game (which no one really needed or asked for it) and this is his 4th (or 5th) serious game so he might use this as a tactic since it's uncommon for someone who's mafia to false claim this early. I don't see no reason to claim that early in the game unless you are trying to get everyone to think your not mafia by false claiming. On the other hand, letting everyone know you are Survivor at the beginning of the game plus telling people you will help town might persuade some people to not lynch you therefore you will be able to reach your win condition much easier.

There are some ups and downs of Rune claiming and I'm not 100% sure whether or not he's telling the truth. Therefore, I would not factor his claim into my reads unless I'm totally positive of his alignment.

I'm waiting for Punchy/Dolby to post more before stating my opinion on them.

 

[calamitybot]

I'm really suspicious of Rune's claim to survivor. He claimed he'd help the town to try to earn people's trust, and that's real scummy to do right on his first post. The town doesn't matter to him, since his wincon doesn't involve the town at all. I wouldn't mind if he got lynched first, lol

hi everyone, its ya boy garbage can here. im gonna start we this is off by claiming Survivor, just so i can be completely transparent with u guys. im def still town alligned and ill help u guys as much as i can without making myself a target. i understand this prob looks like a kinda weird thing to do so ill try and make up for it by helping as much as possible.

Looools love the intro. By making yourself a target to Mafia by openly saying your going to help Town, I think that's a good way to start off. That alone makes me feel like you're being genuine. I agree with others that I don't see mafia attempting a roleclaim this early in the game before waiting to see how things go down.

as for whats happened so far i def think that dolby has been acting weirdly and has kinda been trying to look too towny, plus punchy has been buddying with him to the point where it looks like theyre teamed up. the instant and intense backlash against him from others feels a bit weird tho. gun to my head i would put dolby as scum but this could easily be town v town rn, its prob too early to be making absolute reads like this rn.

Punchy getting riled up, over Dolby getting called scum, didn't really come off to me like he could be teamed with Dolby as a potential mafia teammate. That's based on the fact that it would just be way too obvious ( in my opinion anyways ). Punchy is null for me out of the trio ( Farobi, Punchy, Dolby ) with Farobi feeling like more Town than not. Dolby for me is null to a slight slight slight scum lean just because there is something weird about his tone this game.

Why do people think Rune isn't fakeclaiming?
That claim is sus af Imo. Why would he claim so early in the game? As a survivor, you want to remain neutral, so making debateable decisions is a bad idea. My thoughts are that he's SK, and I'm down for his lynch.

I'm still not certain of his alignment but I think lynching him is a pretty easy to approach it since yeah sure he's not town but he's not exactly against us either. To make it clear, you want to lynch him because you think he's scummy or because survivors aren't town sided?

I want to lynch him because that obvious fake claim is just SO obvious. It technically won't hurt us if we lynch him, bc he's probably TP, and we won't be losing our numbers.

I wanna lynch him because, if hes being truthful, the town wont be affected by his lynching. if hes scum, then the town has an advantage over the mafia very early game! win-win all around.

Claiming survivor is usually done best early game so that it won't be used against them as being "mafia hiding behind a fake claim" later on. For me though I'm more inclined to believe his claim

I'm not 100% sure, no. That's why I responded to his post so late compared to everyone else. I'm inclined to believe he is Survivor for now. If anything, Mafia will probably take him out since he openly declared he will be helping Town. I don't see why they would risk leaving an extra vote / voice for Town in the game. Otherwise ya, he can definitely be faking.

The problem with Rune getting lynched first is that, if he really is Survivor, it means we are " mislynching " in a sense. That allows Mafia to preserve their potential 2 KP ( assuming there are 3 on the Mafia team ). If we can come up with a better lynch candidate than a potential Third Party, then that would be best in my opinion.

Why believe it? It would probably be easier for him to just pretend to be a townie and contribute by making posts that wouldn't cause such conflict. He's just a burden upon the town.

But rune has only a few serious game so maybe he isn't aware that claiming survivor early would seem less mafia and even if he does, he could use that to his advantage to false claim early in the game to not seem as mafia. I'm not saying we should Lynch rune but there are ups and downs to his claims.

Not trying to nitpick but I can't really help looking how you're pushing Rune with that bolded statement. He just posted once and it's an obvious fake claim already? But you're also under the impression that he's probably a TP?

Cause it's risky to claim that as mafia without the information that there might already be a survivor in the game. The only way I could think Mafia would claim that is if it's one of their safe claims.

I actually do agree with this point, and this is what made me not respond to Rune's post right away. I didn't get why he decided to claim instead of play it off like he was a Townie. I do believe his claim because he is openly making himself a target to Mafia by saying he is siding with Town. He is an extra vote / voice for us, assuming he isn't lying. I think Rune should be kept a close eye on and if things start looking bad, someone will lead a lynch against him when it least hurts us ( not on Day One where Mafia KP is at its highest and the most damage can be done ).

What do you think about unravel saying you're most likely Town and everyone else is null ? Who do you think would be more Town between Dolby and Farobi ? Or do you think it can be Town vs. Town ?
