I like this one. I believe its what you called it when I got a scummer in your last game, Mags.
We might want the OMAC moment entry to be changed. The point isn't slipping up and revealing yourself to be anti town. The point is roleclaiming as anti town.

No, it isn't.
The game was Villain United, where villains were town. He was an OMAC, and clearly didn't know the source material. Pressure was on, and he went "No guys, its cool, I'm OMAC!" Thinking that OMAC is a villain, and therefore they would think he was town. But everyone else knew that OMACs hunted metas, and therefore would be SK.
I'd say that that is slipping up. It isn't knowingly claiming anti-town, and expecting things to be cool.
Well claiming as, say Hannibal King (after he was janitored) in Midnight Sons and then having Hannibal's mason partner call you out on it reveals you to be anti-town but its not OMACing.
Or maybe voting for too many townies can reveal you to be anti town but that isn't OMACing either.
I always thought the key part of OMACing was that the town would vote you off even if they totally believed you.
Your both right. An OMAC moment is claiming someone who is clearly anti-town, but the person claiming doesn't realize this.
Other examples are goodman claiming the Ailens in Horror Moves.
Kedryn claiming Manaphy in All Stars 4
and get_1 claiming Rex Racer in CYOMC
All made claims they thought were safe, and then were lynched because the town knew better.
I can't be blamed for that, Carlos games are confusing enough, throw in that game mechanic/trap and someone's obviously going to fall into it, the mafia all had their teammates to keep there mouths shut, i had no-one

Naw. The key part isn't that they would vote you off even if they believe you, though that certainly is true. The key is claiming a character that is anti-town, without realizing that it is anti-town. There is a difference.
"OMAC Moment - When a player slips up without even knowing it, truthfully roleclaiming him/herself as anti-Town. Can occur often in "Reverse Mafias." Originates from the Villains United game when a player honestly claimed as an OMAC, unaware that OMACs were earlier established to be evil."
"OMAC Moment - When a player slips up without even knowing it, truthfully roleclaiming a character that opposes the town faction. Can occur often in "Reverse Mafias." Originates from the Villains United game when a player honestly claimed as an OMAC, unaware that OMAC would not be town based on the theme."
Leave us not forget "Zodding: The act of claiming a character that has previously appeared and died - non-janitoured - in the course of the game. Originated in BYOBG3 when someone claimed as General Zod...a role that had just recently died in the game."
"Nobody important? That's amazing. You know, in 900 years of traveling time and space I've never met someone who wasn't important."

Don: Leader of the Mafia, usually appears Town to investigators, sometimes requires more than 2/3 majority to be lynched.
Deputy: Backup cop activated upon the Cop's death. The deputy may or may not be informed pre-game that they have this role.
Tracker: Follows a person to their target. If target is blocked, tracker also comes up empty (usually, ask the mod)
Thief: Serial Killer analogue where instead of killing target, they steal the target's power, turning them completely Vanilla. Goal of a thief is to steal all powers of remaining players. Most thieves also have PGO protection, either inherent or through a RB ability
Flavor Cop/Clue Cop: Receives clues to targets identity
Power Cop: Learns targets powers
..We still don't have a name for a Night-Princess... for some reason I thought someone mentioned one earlier, but couldn't find it.
I still think these should all go in (especially the Thief and Deputy).
Also, am I the only one who thought a Beloved Princess would only bypass a day if killed? I've seen a Princess get lynched, causing the next phase to
be no-lynch... as a mod, I always assumed that was a way to get around the Princess's negative effects...
"Why would the possibility of me being wrong ever stop me from doing something?"
