This answer to cabot's question feels too friendly to me, like he's trying to diffuse tension. Scum wants people to like them, and to not feel threatened by them.
I know i have a policy on not lynching or killing newbies on D1/N1, but there are too many in this game lol.
Oh, and I want to bring up something: Is there any reason for the baddies to not target squidyj at this point, assuming he's town?
If no one else claims a special role by the end of the day phase then he put a self-imposed target on his back.
Why even bring this up? Do you have something you'd like to share with the class, Poltergust-kun? Seems like a very obvious and weird question, is all.
(゚ー゚;
Polter's new, he's just figuring out the online game. Cut him some slack.
It's just about impossible to tell what's going on until investigators, etc. use their powers. Votes right now are just going to be based off gut feeling based on things such as past behavior in previous games, relationships with players or crappy anime faces.
I lean scum on Squidyj for now. I have no idea about the normalcy of this game, but my immediate, and admittedly convoluted thought, is that he's a scum or maybe neutral or even misguided townie, trying to bait people into targeting him so he can trigger something.
Something something occam's razor though.
It's not enough to get worked up over for now.
Not too sure what to think about this
I could totally see Dragonz being scum but I have no logical or reasonable proof of it
im not late, you all just started playing too early!
i for one quite like squidys cop claim.
i dont for a second think that it is true, but it sure got a lot of discussion going, (particularly from many of our newer players, which is nice since getting a sense of who they are and how they play is a big help) and i think thats probably exactly what squidy was going for. a pretty good way to start off a Day 1.
honestly i think im coming away with a town lean on squidy, and thats not something that happens often.

slow night i guess.
well since its come up several times already,
i find that many players here are really overstating the uselessness of a Day 1 lynch, especially in the likely hood of that lynch actually hitting scum.
Many seem to be saying that lynching scum on day one is a near impossibility, but Scum have been lynched on the first day in many previous Gafia games.
It is completely possible for a scum player to mess up and out themselves, there is nothing special about Day 1 that stops scum from being at risk of a lynch, hell the biggest detractor of that happening is town not actively looking to lynch them.
See, this is clearly a shenanigan, but it's such an obvious shenanigan that it can't possibly be fruitful, but it's so clearly a clear and obvious shenanigan that...
Not that I would like to make myself a target but also no need to coddle the newbies because we're newbies. If we get scurrilously voted off d1 because senpai noticed and was mean, we can totally just use that as leverage to get into the next game because everyone feels bad.
I haven't played a lot of variations so I looked at the general mafia wiki to get a general sense and I don't see daytime abilities, really (though they can do what they want; i agree it's a balance issue, however), but there are some that seem imbued with extra knowledge, which could fit in theme. I dunno!
... which means I just posted a lot to say nothing, BASICALLY so uhhhh... I'll be over here.
squidyj is a wild card, out here mixing it up, but reading the layers beyond just chaos isn't going to do much good until we can see what he does next. Let's target some rando who hasn't turned up yet. Smoke 'em out.
I still think you are weirdly suspicious, but sitting back and just waiting has never won town a game of Mafia, can confirm, even if I haven't played here.
Woke up check anime Mafia see the first cop claim.
What's this whole peeking thing? Is it a trap to make us fools ask about it?
Peeking is a 'sick mafia strat' where everyone gives a peek result which usually is someone calling someone else town.
If everyone does it, it's seen as a way for the cop to post results fairly obviously without being caught out by scum
Basically, it is a strategy where everyone agrees to say that they peeked at another specified player during the night phase. For example, next day phase I would say that I peeked at cabot during the night phase.
The premise is that a real cop would post their actual investigation results in the open under the cover of the peeks, and if the cop gets killed, we can go back and clear people by going over the cop's peeks. Of course, if the cop does find scum, they can role-claim and say so directly.
This plan only works if everyone makes a peek, and everyone agrees to disregard the peeks as meaningless in of themselves.
Yeah, just one thing cabot.You told people not to discuss something and not much else, anything to add?
Kyan-kun, where are you? I miss you, mon ami.

23. [m] Kyanrute - GMT+2 - Hello
I would really like to hear from Kyan-senpai, my long lost scum teacher. He is a very good player, no matter his alignment. But to be fair, he is more often scum than not.
meanwhile, in ultron land:
AHEM
What, Sky and I's explanations weren't good enough you, red eyed bird?
Games not going particularly fast right now.
Guess it's understandable. It's hard managing a scum chat as well as the game thread, bro.
It is very unlikely to get a lynch to work day 1. Mafia will probably have protection roles. Town investigators may not. I don't know what the roles are like on GAF but from playing on other forums the no vote was invariably the safest way to go on day 1.
Does MafiaGAF do hodors? Last time I played a mafia game scum was given 2 hodors because everyone picked them out on day 2.
I can't be expected to read posts that aren't direct replies to me! Yeah I was at work and skimmed, sorry!
If your worry is that scum have roles that will take lynches for them that should only encourage you to start killing faster. A protective role isn't going to just stop working after Day 2, so we'll have to kill our way through it eventually.
Okay, immediate cop claims are worth an automatic vote, even if made in jest.
Vote: squidyj
Thank squidy newbies, I was about to put pressure on one of you.
thanks i guess, but this seems pretty harsh
how do you read this harsh action? does it make you lean anyway alignment wise?
nah not really, just laughed when i read squidyj's post
I got the read that Rac was just playing along. Then again, you & I both know how bad I am at reading people.
if i was scum i probably wouldn't stick my neck out D1 to try and diffuse tension when less then a quarter of the players have even posted
Good morning.
This Theresa May-esque U-turn is quite strange, Swamped. I didn't read anything from the response, it seemed just a brush off which makes sense for someone who hasn't played before and hasn't played with me before. I got nothing on rac.

Swamped-chan is my waifu and is playing consistently this time as she has every other time. Posts once or twice, then ducks out. From my experience, though, this is not necessarily scum play, as she was town the last time she did this exact thing.
(∩^o^)⊃━☆゚.*・。゚
If anyone thinks squidy is scum with his play, feel free to shout and give me some thoughts behind it.

I'd like hey_monkey to do a bit more digging whence she returneth.
I liked the mentality she portrays in posts made here:
There's a positive, proactive mentality I see through these posts which reminds me of the way I like to play, so yeah. I'd like her to offer more things please.
Not insight: this made me giggle. Good morning, Gafia.ok now i just wait and the mentions will come
Squidyj first day cop claim comes off as a weird thing to do and then Dragonz response to it by saying haha its a joke guys i have seen worse claims on day 1, comes off as scummy. She is a a lot more active during this day 1 then the previous game we were in together(Persona Mafia), where she was regular town and i was scum.
My vote right now is based on the change of her behaviour between games and her dismissing Squidyj's role claim as a joke.
I do think this is a good point. I would like her to not be scum, but as of now, I'd say she's high on my suspish list. I'm not ready to vote yet, though. I'm not sure there's yet been enough for me to start accusing. Also because bold accusations like this also make me a little suspicious.
I'm also on ultron's side re: protective roles. Gotta batter through them. But with care. #TownLivesMatterSomeLikeForWinning
What do you think of Palmer's scum read on squishy?
Who do you want to target? Why so reticent about naming names?

"pregaming after the game started, cool. have anything relevant to say?"
stole your post nanananaaa
pregaming after the game started, cool. have anything relevant to say?
Don't take away my joy
I'm more concerned about killing townies who need protecting with a completely blind shot in the dark.

is this a JoJo reference?
why do you think it is scummy though.
Is your thinking that squidy isnt scum?
You're scum. squidy isn't. squidy claims cop early, scum you brushes it off and laughs. All the laughs. A thousand laughs!
Why though? if dragonz is scum wouldn't you push for the lynch? save a night kill which may be countered by protection. It's a weird play, could reasonably try to push a lynch. Brushing it off as a joke is just strange to do as scum. If I were scum, I'd either ignore it or react negatively to it.
Dragonz is scum. squidy is also scum. This is slightly more logical, though only just. For instance, why did scum!squidy do this on day 1? It potentially makes him a recurring issue on day discussions, a scum target or a vigi shot target. That's three ways of dying, and then we have the scum buddy brushing it off trying to pretend it was nothing. Scum!squidy flips, Dragonz has massive egg on her face and isn't probably far away from a death herself.
How do you think it goes down?
How the hell is being more active a scumtell? Lmao
◔_◔
I think both Squidyj and Dragonz are scum. Squidyj makes the mistake of fake claiming cop as a joke puts suspicions on himself goes all tsun tsun over it. Dragonz comes in haha its a joke guys(move along nothing to see here) then posts a lot of fluff and says we should have patience.
You say if Squidyj gets outed as scum then Dragonz would be next. I think you underestimate towns ability to make dumb choices. Dragonz just has to go oh jeez i rly didn't think Squidyj-kun was actual scum, boy i read that completely wrong im such a baka teehee. Its what i did last game and i survived all the lynch attempts even going against somebody who should have already been cleared of suspicions.
Im not saying this will happen but it would not be the first time town goes against logic.
This is the bit I don't buy. Don't see squidy doing this.
ok now i just wait and the mentions will come
Yeah, just one thing cabot.
vote: kyanrute
I've played with him quite a few times, and he's very forthright and will make a fakeclaim when he's certain of something (If memory serves, he may have been the first to pull the fake cop gambit in Archer) . While I could see him making a mistake, I don't see him kind of flailing around afterwards being all weird and nervous.
(that's what tsun tsun means right?)
More like acting pissy because people voted on you and being passive aggressive and snarky.
As with all other day 1's, I struggle to form a solid opinion on anyone. Just a lot of hand waving and feigned activity. Very little substance.
Might as well go for gut feel.
vote: hey_monkey
I feel like the post was just a little too helpful and self sacrificing.
Seems like we should just wait on Squidy.
He'll either die overnight or he will have results tomorrow that we can then look at and use to judge.
