My first thought when I read this.

Been posting from my phone while at red lights, so I didn't go back to look, sorry.

Tbh, this doesn't help your case when it comes to me, because as I said, claims don't mean anything without some underlying trust we dont have yet, and while it would be nice if town had a reverse track, reverse track is a power I REALLY don't want mafia to have. And I don't see why you would claim when the river current really isn't strong in your direction currently.

Interesting mechanic, with the draft of scum-team. It opens up a lot of day 1 discussion, but also a lot of WIFOM (not sure if that's a term here as well?).

Do we know there are 4 scum, or is that just highly likely?

Looking through the list, I'm going back and forth on who to pick. I'd almost definitely pick Rokk (but not sure how it went with him being kj's replacement and how that would have been communicated). I'm almost always impressed on how he puts his thoughts on paper, and spin a story while playing mafia, or going through scenario's and putting the pressure on as town. I'm always a bit scared to be on the different team than he is. :-)

As I would assume he'd be a favorable pick for others, and considering te fact I would expect him to post more than he has done so far (but not sure what would be his typical 'voting hours'), I'm thinking it would be good to

Vote Rokk

Don't want to fragment the trains too much, but I kinda trust adam now, with his claim. I'm slightly suspicious of Roy with the detailed analysis per player, but do like the effort he put into that (although that could very well be a scum strategy). And really don't have much on Morph, don't get a real scum-feel there yet.

As for who I would pick as others as don, as has been said, I think each and every player brings value in a certain way, so I would probably try to find a balance between more high profile/high posters, and under the radar players.

I'll go ahead and vote, but I'm more than willing to switch to Roy if votes go that way and it looks more likely

vote adam

That might be the first time I've been called "vocal" in Mafia games

But I will certainly admit I was quite chatty in Hybritity and Detective

"OMG! There's a body under that chandelier! Did anyone else notice that? Should we alert the authorities? "

Well definitely stop doing that

Vote: Roy

If adam is the RT, town or not, that's not a very good day 1 gamble in my opinion.

What's the end game here? I don't want to claim, I can certainly, but that gives the mafia an even bigger road map. I don't begrudge me getting yeeted (I'd probably vote for me if I wasn't, ya'know, me) but I'd much prefer not to.

If the only reasoning for not yeeting Adam over me is his claim, then I don't think that's a good reason. We have no reason to believe anyone right now (myself included) when it comes to claims. If people want a day 1 yeet and genuinely think I'm a better yeetee than Adam, then so be it, nothing I can really do to defend myself there other than say "don't".

I wouldn't claim if I were you either. The fact Adam did makes him look bad, IMO.

Man, you're really pushing this. Why wouldn't I claim if I were town? Either it helps stop me being voted out, which is good, or it gives the town information when they get my autopsy. It also prevents the mafia from trying to fake claim RT.

Conversely, there's no reason for me to lie about my claim. Or anyone else, really, except the don.

Maybe we should do a mass claim and try to root out the don.

Current vote:

Morpheousdr3am3r (2): vlad3theimpaler, adamical
adamical (4): Girathon, RenegadeRoy, The Darkstone, Cuban Vader
RenegadeRoy (3): Linkor, Morpheousdr3am3r, Destructoboy
Rokk_Krinn (1): StormCrawler

With 16 players, 7 votes are needed for majority.

The reason is is you aren't really doing it for the latter reasons which I can respect if you did it closer to when you would get elim'd. The reason you did it is the first one. The fact is, anyone that is swayed from voting for you just because of what you claimed has no REAL reason to do so, as whatever you are, its not important as it tells us nothing about what faction you are with the information we have, so its an appeal to how things work in other games but this game is different and you have been following along enough to know that at the time you did it. Thus, you look bad.

This is not to say you are bad, but you certainly look bad.

You kind of answered your own question here. You can speak to your intent, but Kenny is the one running his game, so his intent is what is relevant to this particular game. Kind of like how Tim Burton directed a Batman movie, but Christopher Nolan's vision is more relevant to the Batman movies he directed.
