If we are laying all our cards on the table, I don't have any knowledge on you at all. Or not any that I know of.
I'm pretty sure you're flat-out contradicting an earlier version of yourself here, but I don't care to start a lynch wagon on you for it, so I guess you're safe?
Huh....
Time to reread myself to figure out what I know that I didn't realize I knew.

hey look. we finally agreed on something.
@tare so do we get a bloodbath now or wait for Night?
i hope its now. gonna have to be pretty much unanimous for us to reach a majority with 4-8 players not actually here.
@nacho/az original image here. i cropped mine, but do what you want.
I just legitimately forgot I recognized TS as town aligned neutral.
Well... not 'just', no. Because at some point in our discussion you realized that this happened. I don't believe that this happened between 1133, where you made your last attempt to defend yourself, and 1137, where you admit to having forgotten. That means that you realized your mistake, and still tried to hide it, and I don't like that.
You referenced MvW Classic in your post immediately before this one, and after taking a look at that game - which featured multiple scum factions, and neutrals who cared about living long enough to see one of the factions wiped out - I can see how town!GJ could have made post 994; I can even see how town!GJ could forget about that and make post 1023 afterwards. I do not, however, like the mindset that was demonstrated when you tried to cover up your mistake. I also don't like the way you keep hiding behind your claim, as though it means you aren't deserving of any suspicion or questioning.
All told, this isn't enough for me to want you dead now, but you are on my radar for the future, and that pinging will get stronger the longer you are flying solo.
if it helps, my random number ability triggers for each day. so if:
a) its is me that moving the votes
b) it applies to night actions too
...it will still be just one down.

hey look. we finally agreed on something.
For the record, I'm less sure now. I was fine with 2-3 more modkills on top of Tapping's, but I think we're actually at 6 - Darth Melvin, Jobie, imab, lueko, Hawk, and hansa. I'm still willing to keep playing, but with this many players being removed from the game, I'd prefer to leave it up to the mod's discretion on whether or not the game is still worth spending our time on.
Posting to let everyone know I'm here and still want to play. Spring break starts tomorrow for me so will have lots of time on my hands, for the first time in forever, at least until school is back.
If you think I'm lying, why wouldn't you just wring me up?
Honestly, I'm not up to putting the effort in. The inbound modkills might end the day, they might not, but either way that's going to change the tenor of the game entirely. I just feel like we're spinning our wheels, and can't be arsed to reread you before then.
In fact, I recommend until Tare says anything else, we cease posting. Obviously, listen to that or don't, but the game is either going to end or spin dramatically.
For the record I don't think Hunt or Bur's contribution is that bad and definitely not deserving of a Mod kill. I've played with members that post less, it just sucks with the other things going on, but it really isn't that much of a detriment. I am sad that TS is gone now this game feels super slow.

Agreed, I'm just gonna chill and wait for some resolution.
Why do that before lots of the game (likely) changes? Makes more sense to me to leave it until after whatever happens happens and we can use it on someone who is more relevant to the game then.
Also agreed with the holding on until the game is in shape.

"Jam yesterday and jam tomorrow, but never jam today."
As far as I can tell, a majority of players want to continue playing.
CitricBase replaces Darth Melvin. Please welcome him to the game!
Still looking for replacements for Jobie and Leukovirus. Now additionally looking for a replacement for imab.
Bur's V/LA is noted if it wasn't already.
7hawk77 and hansanator are being prodded with prejudice. Necarg is being poked. Modkills will come once I know how many of these players will also need to be replaced; I can neither confirm nor deny that this should occur before the end of the weekend. Note that midgame setup changes may be required given the quantity of modkills; these modkills may or may not end the day depending on the alignments of players modkilledd (so I'd really rather know whether I need to modkill two more players before I pull the trigger).
The Seventh Vote Count (aka the "Legacy of the Ancients Mafia" Vote Count)
KoolKoal: Feel free to take this with a grain of salt since self meta isn't particularly helpful, but I think I get scumread mostly for style over substance, but also for a certain lack of substance over style. It's not so much what I AM posting most of the time (though sometimes that can seem bad) but what I'm NOT posting. I've been told I come to non-obvious conclusions a lot, so when I post, quite a bit of the time there's jumps in logic that people can't follow and they think that's scummy. I get that accusation about a lot of questions I ask specifically. People call them "busy work" when the questions are legit etc.
As far as things to ignore, I can't think of anything. I would suggest you focus less on what I'm doing and more on how I'm doing it. That's probably more likely to be accurate. Like I've just said, what I do tends to come off a little weird, but if you look for how I do it, mindset comes into play and maybe you figure out something useful.
For the record I don't think Hunt or Bur's contribution is that bad and definitely not deserving of a Mod kill.
Was anyone arguing otherwise? I'd expressed annoyance that Bur was in a two-week V/LA, but had also said that I thought he'd be back. I don't think anyone was arguing for Huntzilla to die.
CitricBase replaces Darth Melvin. Please welcome him to the game!
Welcome, CitricBase! The person you are replacing in for last posted never. Here's your catchup.
Votes are going to the person below them alphabetically on the list. For example, tomsloger voted for DoTArchon. On the votecount, this made Gentleman Johnny's number of votes go up by one. There is some debate about whether a majority of people voting for DoTArchon will cause him to be lynched (meaning the votes are only displaying wrong) or whether it would mean Gentleman Johnny will be lyched (the votes are actually being redirected), but most people are trusting the numbers more than the names. (In the given example, toms really is expressing suspicion of GJ, not of DoTA.) This leads into...
Nachomamma8 has claimed a Governor role, where he can pardon a lynch choice, sending us to night with their affiliation being publicly revealed by the mod. There has also been debate over the best way to use this, but Nacho has stated that he will pardon someone if we end up being wrong about the vote-redirection thing.
7hawk77 (currently absent) claimed that he was told rules that may or may not be in the game, including specifically one that roles can override rules. It is unclear what use this is.
Bur has been V/LA for a while, but should be back around Monday.
D_V is able to post and vote in the game, but cannot currently be voted for. He will likely be joining us fully at some point.
Gentleman Johnny claims to be masoned with another player who is not yet in the game. He has been conversing with her, and there is a possibility that she will enter the game at some point. They are confirmed town to each other.
hansanator (currently absent) claimed that he is the reason the game started with Day 2 showing. D_V has stated that, despite the thread showing Day 2, it is not actually Day 2.
Jobie, imabusinessman, and leukovirus have all asked to replace out.
Necarg has the ability to edit his posts, and has been doing so instead of making new posts when he has something to respond to.
Azrael is outside of the game and cannot vote or be voted for, but may post. He has some knowledge of an older version of the setup, but has his own agenda, involving players selling him their heart, mind, or soul - with his expressed preference being for souls. See here for his claim, with some clarification here. DoTArchon has already arranged a deal for today, trading his soul for an investigation ability of some kind.
Players not listed are currently playing the game, with no explicitly claimed abilities that I can remember.
7hawk77 and hansanator are being prodded with prejudice. Necarg is being poked.

Well this is going to be ugly. Also, looks like we're spinning our wheels a bit longer...
"Here we are folks, at the Regional Thumb-Twiddling Championships, where Tom Sloger has started off with a promising lead, but I don't know if he has the power to keep this up until the Taredas modkill stage. What do you think, Bill?"
"Well, they don't call him Tom Twiddle-ston for nothing!"
"Right you are, Bill. Right you are."
In any case, I think that we should all decide on someone we want Nacho to pardon while we wait for the mod to figure out what to do with the status of the game. This way, we'll already be somewhat organized when the game becomes active again. I think we should all list our three top choices and see who comes up most frequently. Mine would be Ghosting, GJ, or Hawk.
D_V, Ghosting, and myself. I won't give reasoning until after the game picks back up.
ok, you already know im not a fan of claims just making someone untouchable.
but this is mindscrew. i could see an actual mason being scum. even if HP was here to say you were confirmed town, that doesnt make it 100% in my mind.
revealing you now either catches you or makes you actually untouchable. its win-win (or eventually reveals that nacho is false, i suppose)
at this point, i think my second choice for reveal might be myself. i dont remember who said it (might have been you) but making the scum choose between NKing me or letting me run around confirmed seems awesome.
my role PM has a lot of words that vaguely do stuff, but its certainly not worth a NK.
This is why I want to be revealed as well. Add in the fact that I'm more likely to be mislynched, and I especially want to be revealed.
I'm basically going to just keep up with the game from here on, because I'm pretty busy and reading #1200 posts is a massive slog that I just don't have time for
Just know that I have one home base post. It's this one.
My hunch with Necarg is that he has a specific amount of posts he can make during the day, this way he edits one for general posts and such, and saves new ones for votes and other things that need to be said at a specific point. Editing one post over and over for the hell of it seems really obnoxious, bookmarking the post helps but still.
Actually, I can make and change votes from this post as well. You are right that I have a set number of posts per day, though.
I would say at this stage, clear a lurker. Necarg or Hunt.
I really want to see what happens into day 3 (2???), and if my comrade comes in.
Clear me. I'm fine with that.
I'm also fine with being cleared at this point.
I'll just get on with it now.
NEVERMIND BECAUSE STUFF BELOW
If Nacho's a liar in this scenario, it's still fine for me, as I get to still have some amount of fun post-mortem.
just an fyi, to both you and dota: the current plan is nacho making his own decision. he may decide to pardon either of you, but it isnt set in stone.
do you still want to be voting for yourselves?
I've already said this, and, while I hope Nacho will pardon me, I'm fine if he doesn't. I can still interact in the game post-mortem, so I'm cool with it.
It seems the general consesus is Anak, so I'll go with that for now. I just want to get this day over with Vote: Robroy -> Anak
@Necarg: You too. What do you think of Hunt's claim?
It doesn't change my read of him (which is null). It doesn't really change too much, especially since it was from Mafia 2. If he managed to get it from mafia 1, or still had the ability, that would be a different story, but as is, it doesn't really matter.
A little thing called logic. Hunt got the message saying that scum were going to lurk. Mafia 2 lurked. Therefore, it's safe to assume that the message was from Mafia 2. But, still, doesn't really impact my reads of anyone either way.
My thoughts are with the friends and family of the Orlando Shooting victims and with the rest of the LGBTQA+ community.

Well now, that's an interesting turn of events. Scrap the cop idea. Can I pm you (copying Tar) for my request then?
No, he's not a moderator.
I would recommend either something with a little lower power (friendly neighborizer), or a role with a Weak Modifier (Weak Neighborizer would be best so you know if your target succeeded or not, but Loud Weak Fruit Vendor would additionally be pretty baller).
Azrael, when can I look forward to your transformation into Kanye West?
Well, you'd specified I should change it when I did the PBPA, and I was waiting on you and Dota and KJ to confirm what they wanted, but was the timing more of an incidental issue?
I've replaced in for someone, I'll catch up later. Summary posts of the game thus far are appreciated. Info on what bastard-setup games on this site or anything on those lines are much appreciated.

I'm here now and will start posting regularly though.
@Nacho - idk if you've clarified this and it might be a dumb question in general, but does your PM say that the day will end immediately after you pardon somebody?
In any case, I think that we should all decide on someone we want Nacho to pardon while we wait for the mod to figure out what to do with the status of the game. This way, we'll already be somewhat organized when the game becomes active again. I think we should all list our three top choices and see who comes up most frequently.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
"I'm a compulsive liar no matter what team I play on, but I'm trying to get better about it."
final choice is RobRoy(Cause I like him I just want to be able to put full trust into him).
i hate this reason.
gj is still my clear cut choice to reveal.
would also go along with dota or ghosting.
im not super interested in citric or any other incoming replacements. well, unless imab's slot doesnt get modkilled...
Well now, that's an interesting turn of events. Scrap the cop idea. Can I pm you (copying Tar) for my request then?
No, he's not a moderator.
I would recommend either something with a little lower power (friendly neighborizer), or a role with a Weak Modifier (Weak Neighborizer would be best so you know if your target succeeded or not, but Loud Weak Fruit Vendor would additionally be pretty baller).
Two questions:
1) If I were to take a neighbourizer, who would you suggest putting in a QT together and to what end? (I'd like everyone's opinions on this actually)
2) What the hell is a Fruit Vendor?
Azrael, when can I look forward to your transformation into Kanye West?
Well, you'd specified I should change it when I did the PBPA, and I was waiting on you and Dota and KJ to confirm what they wanted, but was the timing more of an incidental issue?
Any chance of getting the 1-S IC I requested? If not, can you give me an idea of just how powerful an ability I could request? Has Tare provided you with a list of abilities to choose from or do you ok it with him case by case?

I can't specify sanity. I think you can be as creative in what you request as you like, subject to Taredas retroactively balancing/tweaking whatever you come up with. It's either that, or you can be boring and just request a generic "class" of ability, such as a balanced 1-shot roleblocker.
The problem I have with a one shot innocent child is that in this set up, and with you having to ask for it, it actually defeats the damn point of an innocent child. I still wouldn't necessarily believe it makes you confirmed town. It literally changes nothing. It's just words for the sake of mod-posted words.
Apologies for the *additional* delay, a PM came in (on top of hans posting in the nick of time) that affected how I needed to resolve this.
Ecophagy has replaced Jobie. Please welcome him to the game!

The GJ way path to no lynching:
i don't need anymore fun than that.
Agreed, I'm just gonna chill and wait for some resolution.
Also agreed with the holding on until the game is in shape.
Or if the day ends then mafia kill him?
Seems like a waste to me.
Hm, I suppose that is possible though.
so just from a realistic perspective, waiting for taredas seems solid.
im also fine with no lynching Today anyway, though would prefer to put nacho to the test.
This is an ok point. Lynch threshold reduction would be good!
"Jam yesterday and jam tomorrow, but never jam today."

This is why I want to be revealed as well. Add in the fact that I'm more likely to be mislynched, and I especially want to be revealed.
Just know that I have one home base post. It's this one.
Actually, I can make and change votes from this post as well. You are right that I have a set number of posts per day, though.
I'm also fine with being cleared at this point.
I'll just get on with it now.
NEVERMIND BECAUSE STUFF BELOW
If Nacho's a liar in this scenario, it's still fine for me, as I get to still have some amount of fun post-mortem.
Already done.
I've already said this, and, while I hope Nacho will pardon me, I'm fine if he doesn't. I can still interact in the game post-mortem, so I'm cool with it.
It seems the general consesus is Anak, so I'll go with that for now. I just want to get this day over with
Vote: Robroy -> Anak
It doesn't change my read of him (which is null). It doesn't really change too much, especially since it was from Mafia 2. If he managed to get it from mafia 1, or still had the ability, that would be a different story, but as is, it doesn't really matter.
A little thing called logic. Hunt got the message saying that scum were going to lurk. Mafia 2 lurked. Therefore, it's safe to assume that the message was from Mafia 2. But, still, doesn't really impact my reads of anyone either way.
/barn. While it's technically a readslist, it's a *****ty one.
Ok, I guess I'll play in our weird little modgaming game

No, he's not a moderator.
I would recommend either something with a little lower power (friendly neighborizer), or a role with a Weak Modifier (Weak Neighborizer would be best so you know if your target succeeded or not, but Loud Weak Fruit Vendor would additionally be pretty baller).
Well, you'd specified I should change it when I did the PBPA, and I was waiting on you and Dota and KJ to confirm what they wanted, but was the timing more of an incidental issue?
I've replaced in for someone, I'll catch up later. Summary posts of the game thus far are appreciated. Info on what bastard-setup games on this site or anything on those lines are much appreciated.
I guess we're waiting on modkill/replacement resolution then before we move forwards?
I did not realize bastard-setups went to such a large extent on MTGS...lol
I'm here now and will start posting regularly though.
@Nacho - idk if you've clarified this and it might be a dumb question in general, but does your PM say that the day will end immediately after you pardon somebody?
In any case, I think that we should all decide on someone we want Nacho to pardon while we wait for the mod to figure out what to do with the status of the game. This way, we'll already be somewhat organized when the game becomes active again. I think we should all list our three top choices and see who comes up most frequently. Mine would be Ghosting, GJ, or Hawk.
Previous Mafia Experience:
Mafia aligned: 2/0 -100%
Town aligned: 4/3 - 57%
We have a player that replaced a player that posted never. I'd rather have that player be the one we use our pardon on.
Second choice is GJ and final choice is RobRoy(Cause I like him I just want to be able to put full trust into him).
gj is still my clear cut choice to reveal.
would also go along with dota or ghosting.
im not super interested in citric or any other incoming replacements. well, unless imab's slot doesnt get modkilled...
can you confirm or deny now?
Why do you want to reveal the alignment of a player who has never posted instead of a player with posts and interactions with other players?
DoTA's #1190 feels like a frustrated townpost.
Two questions:
1) If I were to take a neighbourizer, who would you suggest putting in a QT together and to what end? (I'd like everyone's opinions on this actually)
2) What the hell is a Fruit Vendor?
Any chance of getting the 1-S IC I requested? If not, can you give me an idea of just how powerful an ability I could request? Has Tare provided you with a list of abilities to choose from or do you ok it with him case by case?
which means the day is already over
I can't specify sanity. I think you can be as creative in what you request as you like, subject to Taredas retroactively balancing/tweaking whatever you come up with. It's either that, or you can be boring and just request a generic "class" of ability, such as a balanced 1-shot roleblocker.
Ping
....pong
The GJ way path to no lynching:
Please stop posting. Mod actions forthcoming.

Apologies for the *additional* delay, a PM came in (on top of hans posting in the nick of time) that affected how I needed to resolve this.
Ecophagy has replaced Jobie. Please welcome him to the game!

In a set of sealed rooms, a computer is running - doing some sort of strange calculations. It is watching you.
And at a terminal, somebody is sitting and pressing one key.
The delete key.

The lights go dark, the system ceases to function - still physically there, but every line of code deleted.
The figure at the terminal stands up and walks away.
1) 7hawk77, Friend Computer, Mafia Dreaming God, was deleted Day 2
The warning lights shut off, then the white warning light turns back on.
The Homura NPC glances at hawk and raises an eyebrow, then returns to blankly watching.
(Yes, this was due to an ability.)

Announcements of factional defeat may or may not continue in the future under non-mass modkill circumstances. There is a reason for not revealing modkilled roles, which I will explain after the game is over.
Please check your inboxes for possible modifications to your role in the wake of these modkills.
12) imabusinessman, ???, Mafia ???, was modkilled Day 2
14) leukovirus, ???, Mafia ???, was modkilled Day 2
All members of Mafia 2 are dead.
Day 2 will resume momentarily.
