Well, I would have made the "stump" unkillable for starters. If the power exists in this fashion, it would have been much more useful if not used N1.Fuzzyman wrote:China, if you were the mod and wanted to make the role that JL has claimed suitable for a town-aligned player, what would you do?
All in all I don't like this power in a non-tree stump game due to the fact of our town PR's are in danger more than the scum. Especially if we are telling him to prove it on N1.
It just doesn't make sense to me in the current way JL has explained it to be good for town. It's going to hurt us more than help I think. If he does really have the power though, it's much more useful as a scum PR. NK one townie, Stump another (currently most would think JL confirmed townie by doing this). Scum could have possibly gotten rid of 2 PR's in one night and if we have a doc and that doc got lucky in protecting the NK, they still stumped someone and took away any power they might have had (it is my current understanding that stumping isn't protectable). JL would be confirmed town by most and if that stumped townie was targeted a townie D2 as scum and had a good case, they could kill the stump and set up even more town. The list goes on and on for the good it could do for a scum PR. As a town PR, we MIGHT get scum with it....that's it.
Call it a stumping PR or call it a vig PR, I don't really care for either in the town's hands. The only people who can be sure of who they are killing/stumping are the scum and townie vig's/stumpers are just shooting in the dark.
All in all, when I read dana's p292, I can't disagree with it even if it is really short and not well explained.ShowSo...are you for good, or for AWESOME!?

I still disagree with it being called a "stumping", I know that seems meaningless to many of you, but let's look at what Josh's power is, it is a night action that kills someone. Yes, they can still post, but they are effectively dead in-game.
Josh, do you really have to ask me why you would lie about your role in a game of Mafia?-

It's possible, but I'm leaning towards he not having it. Would he really have it, I think it's a town PR. But again, I don't think he has it. Seems like a good scum gambit where he comes D2 and claims that scum just killed the same target he stumped.Chinaman wrote: Everyone: We need everyone to answer these please. Do you think JL really has the power he claimed? If JL really has this power, do you think it's a scum PR or town PR? If it's a town PR, do you want him to use it N1? If yes, do you think we should collectively discuss who he should use it on, a list of a few people he should use it on one of, or just let him choose on his own?
My gut still says that Budja is the best lynch, but I'm happy with my vote on Josh as of now.
Also,FoS: dana.Taking a long break from mafia games.
In honor of Erika Furudo, my first scum win (Umineko Mafia).-

Can anybody tell me why it would be a bad idea to wait on the off-chance that Lyman MIGHT clear himself tonight? Anybody? I mean, sure, it's probable that scum has a roleblocker, but there is a chance that they don't, and I think we're all going to be smacking ourselves on the forehead if we don't at least give it a shot.
Still not really seeing what he did pre-claim that was so serious either. I see some light tells, but nothing hugely serious. Certainly not compared to the fuss you folks are making about him.My posts are best read in the calm, reassuring voice of Morgan Freeman. I don't sound anything like him, but they sound best that way.

Do I really have to say it AGAIN!?? HE...COULD...HIT...A...TOWN...PR...WITH...THIS...POWER...IF...HE...HAS...IT...AND...THAT...WOULD...BE...BAD. Given that this is a theme game, I imagine there are more townie's with PR's than there are without. THAT'S why it's a bad idea for us to "wait on the off-chance that Lyman MIGHT clear himself tonight". I would rather him live and NOT use his power (if he has it) than for him to clear himself by using it. Well, I'd really rather him die today, but we've been through this. But again, if the majority want him to use it in an attempt to let himself prove he's town, then I have a short list of 3 people he could choose from that would be less likely to really hurt the town. I choose 3 because it gives him the best chance to clear himself and give scum a 33% chance of stopping him vs a probably 100% chance if we pick one person and a really good chance of him hitting a good town PR if we let him choose on his own.Netopalis wrote:Can anybody tell me why it would be a bad idea to wait on the off-chance that Lyman MIGHT clear himself tonight?

I'll disclose the 3 if the majority want to give him the chance to prove himself.ShowSo...are you for good, or for AWESOME!?

Theme games do not necessarily have more power roles than non-theme games, and your reaction implies that you feel that this role is significantly different than a one-shot vig. Yes, a one-shot vig could hit town, but we generally use them anyway. D1 lynches are statistically worse than random, but lynching is the correct move.My posts are best read in the calm, reassuring voice of Morgan Freeman. I don't sound anything like him, but they sound best that way.

Who came up with the tell that a player subconsciouslyJosh Lyman wrote: Why would I lie about my power being 1-shot as opposed to every night? If I had the ability every night, I would've said so. (Also, that would make me a quasi-Serial Killer, which I am not)wantsto tell you their role? Is it one of Jeep's? I forget.
Also, thinking last night about this role. Let's say Josh uses it and hits scum. That means we have a confirmed scum that is allowed to continue posting but not vote? What is the point of that? Obviously no one would pay attention to that player from that point on. Makes no sense, either he is lying about there being a flip, or he is lying about his role.
So, which is it, Josh?-

Josh, do you really have to ask me why you would lie about your role in a game of Mafia?thing to sayway to phrase it.
I am only telling you guys what was told to me both in my role PM and in my PMs seeking clarification from the Mod.DeathSauce wrote:

I am not the one who made up this stupid, useless, dumb, idiotic role. Look to your Mod.-

If I'm not mistaken Josh has 4 votes and the next most is Budja with 2. Agreed that an official vote count would be nice.If ya smell what The Locke is cookin'!

I guess i'm just not much of a fan of Budja's play style in general.DeathSauce wrote: Also, add me to the list that dislikes dana's entrance into this game. You don't understand the Budja wagon so you jump on the Josh wagon? There are alternatives, like, I don't know, scum hunting.
-Post 267 Deathsauce sees what i'm getting at, as I ask Net whether or not it is possibly to be a scum PR. (the 'stump' vig)
--Net automatically assumes that my question implied it was obviously a town role. So let me ask you Net, could you see Josh's role as a scum role?
The claim is not a vig kill to an extent.Netopalis wrote: Seriously, though, I've never heard of a scumteam having a one-shot vig, even in coney island. It unbalances it too much to give them a second kill.] Nvm, that looks like fishing.besides, how do you know it unbalances the game? [/s
What do you mean it couldn't help scum! of course it could help scum! A town player losing their role hurts the town.Fuzzyman wrote: Josh's ability couldn't help scum, though, and he'd have no incentive to use it.
That Lylo situation isn't going to work! If it's 2 scum vs 1 townie, and the 1 scum is tree stumped, we die in endgame, and scum win.Netopalis wrote:Ok.....
First of all, there is no point in scum killing a stump unless the stump is a particularly good player, since killing somebody else puts them one round closer to LYLO. Second, this IS a town role because it is effectively a vig if it hits scum. We then become one vote further away from LYLO.
you piggy back me, then want my lynch. Good Job.Budja wrote:@Josh, rolename please. (Should have asked this ages ago ).
Setting up a lynch eh?Netopalis wrote:
A) He hits scum - Success!
B) He hits town - Sad, but he's confirmed and we have one less suspicious townie
C) He's roleblocked - We lynch him anyway
I could support a DKU lynch.
Fuck it. If Josh is going to test his role, then do it. Just don't tell us who it is, don't even discuss some possibilities. Keep the scum guessing. Creating a 2-3 person list of who you want targeted is bad, especially if we're looking for pro-town players. However, everyone suggesting their top 3 scummers, is not so much a bad idea.
