Yos, is there a limit to how large the cult can grow?
Nope. Well, I assume that no cult can recruit someone who's already been recruited, but there's no set size limit.
I ask because your cult needs to ally with the town for now, to shrink the size of the other cult. Yeah, we can't win together, but we will both lose NOW if the other cult isn't stopped.
(nods) Agreed. I'm not going to spend a lot of time publicly commenting on my suspicions today, but my cult will be willing to use our votes to help the town lynch the other cult recruiter. In fact, we need to; it's very unlikely for us to get a majority vote on the recruiter for the larger cult without both our cult and the town working together here.
Also, do you want to take responsibility for any of the NKs- as representative from your cult?
I don't see an advantage to answering this question right now.
I want us to win just for Yos' inevitable rant alone. -CrashTextDummie
As regarding the Role PMs, I considered the fact that we might be revealed to the Son if we investigate them, or we are de-powered or given a post restriction where we can't say his name or something. Meh.
HEY SO WHAT IF I AM STUPID.
I FIGURE A DEAD RECRUITEE IS BETTER THAN DEAD TOWNIES. I DIDNT INCLUDE MYSELF BECAUSE I DIDNT WANT TO BE ALL "OH LOOK AT ME IM CONFIRMED TOWN" WHEN IM NOT.
AND YOU ARENT CONFIRMED TOWN EITHER. SO STUF THE FUCK UP.
Ugh.
I am reading SAIII now. Be back later.
@ Yos: I was just wondering, regarding the NKs. Trying to figure out if you guys actually have a NK or not. :/

Wow RC, calm down. It's just math. 1+4 recruits is 5 members. We go down to 13 tonight and they go up to 6 probably. Chances of getting a correct lynch then are practically zero. It's not technically LYLO, but it's as close as matters. Speaking of, why are people voting so freely when the scumgroups are (probably) so large?
The town would seem to be screwed. We need the one cult to all pile on the leader of the other. Seems strange that we only get 4 lynches in a large game, though.

Im glad we're still making inaccurate tables of roles and results, why don't we just lead scum to all the best power roles, and congratulations to RC who claimed randomly without any reason and managed to give us fuck all in results. Maybe next, we could have an alliance which means nothing, but we could do it "just for the crack", and lynch everyone outwith it, because that seems like a "proper" way to play this game. Or I tell you what, we could just give up on this game and play hide and seek. Wouldn't that be fun, and when we're done we can all have lemonade except for wee Andrius, who's play has deteriorated so much through the last 2 pages, that he will probably keep hiding well into the night.
Jeez, I realise that my strategy of skimming RC's (and now yos2, due to the claim) posts might not be the best strategy but honestly I want to punch myself in the face everytime I try and glean something remotely town from him.
And I know this is going to sound retarded from Mr. Lurker, but why haven't I or Erg0 or now to a lesser extent Gurgi been called out for that, do you think the recruiter is going to be attracting attention to himself?
And no to massclaim, whats the point? In this game it does not benefit the town at all compared to the benefits to scum.
Mostly retired. Unless you ask or it's something interesting.
I haven't claimed yet, Andy. Also, Poro is definitely a member of the non-Yos cult, playing jester because he knows if we lynch him, we almost certainly win.
Haven't we just been discussing that they WILL win by lynching themselves? And that's why we're gunning for a recruiter instead of confirmed recruit Yos?
Ah ok, so while thats happening the other cult team can recruit someone else and go on to win. That makes a lot of sense gandalf. Also its a pretty big assumption that we have 2 cults. You also havent really explained why you think Im jestering, I want a post I can sink my teeth into and you just aren't giving me the satisfaction of ripping your case to shreds... if you want to mention me highlighting the fact I pretty much lurked through the last day and only posted one liners when I did post which is a bit of a contradiction from earlier, (see, I can make a case against myself, why can't anybody else) its because you haven't given me much to be interested in and honestly, seeing that table of roles and results made the cute kitten that I have for a soul die a little and I don't want my cute little kitten soul to die. Why do we have a fixation with the roles? I have no idea. From my point of view this game should be played as a mountainous. Yes the roles do things but can we trust any of the 3 cops going around? Nope. Can we trust the docs will protect who they say they will? The roleblockers? etc. etc. The fact that anyone is taking yos2 seriously at the moment astounds me. He is claimed cult! Ignore him! Shouldn't that be on the first page of Mafia: the Basics handbook?

Actually, if there was only one cult group, jestering that would be a reasonable option for recruits. Town lynches a recruit every day, cult recruits a townie every night, cult eventually wins when town runs out of townies. Heck, if there was only one cult, I wouldn't have cared at all if the town lynched me today.
In a two cult game, it probably doesn't work, though.

Heh, Gandalf, http://mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=Team_Asshat. In all seriousness though, maybe it's because you have given me no reason to believe that you have been useful in any of your 106 posts and towns action which are basically just repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot has gotten pretty tiresome.

Ugh, that's how the town will LOSE, not how one specific cult will WIN. THE OTHER CULT WILL PULL AHEAD IF THEY START LYNCHING THEMSELVES. In the event you are paying NO ATTENTION whatsoever, Yos is representing the losing cult to try and get us to lynch the other cult's members, because one cult is moving in for the win. While Yos is doing this, it makes no sense for the other cult to martyr themselves and even the odds.
THINK.
Why is Prozac the only one thinking? It seems like everyone who should be thinking today is either an idiot, lurking, claimed recruit, or Prozac.
Prozac: I've been investigated as innocent by two different cops, so either I'm the recruiter that got both of them, or not the recruiter.
Yos: At this point, I don't think the town's play is altered by the presence of one versus two cults. We're equally up a river without a paddle.
It's pretty obvious to me that the cops are all recruited. Chrono's recruited. Yos is recruited. Singer is recruited.
(11:26:07 PM) thesheamuffin: I'm counting gurgi because I would probably make out with him if I were drunk enough
lol Gurgi isn't thinking. His post is a load of BS. Andy's been protected from recruitment by the anti-cult doc. I've just been cleared as town this last night... actually, Gurgi may have been recruited since being cleared...
And two cults means it may end up as one cult vs. the other vs. NO town lol.
Yos, is Gurgi with you guys? We need a good, guaranteed kill on a Large_Cult member. So do you. We can't win without your help here, you can't win without ours.
Definitely thinking Erg0 as #1 pick for recruiter...
