do you guys really think that i would roleclaim as abhas if i was mafia?that would just make everyone lynch me and town will get an advantage.(thats what we want)

I really think that if you really were townie, you would not be cracking that joke in the first place. I mean it means drawing unnecessary attention towards yourself.

I was mafia in the last two games and I've realized that I'm a little too soft in my approach, which even makes the townies think at times that I'm a mafia. In the last two games I was mafia but before those two games I was townie but still the townies lynched me. That means that my game play isn't the best and that's mainly because my regular game play is to be quite, which isn't really helpful for townies, it works when you're mafia though. As I'm a townie this time around, I've decided that I will be more useful then I've been in the last few games, where I've been a townie.

Don't quite know what to make out of this - Rather an interesting to say.
I have not seen any insightful posts from you yet. So you are still playing your quiet game in my opinion.

He could be using it as a tactic, trying to joke that he is mafia and bring all the attention towards himself before claiming it was a joke, and everyone believes he's townie. Still very suspicious of him.

I am thinking along those lines as well. I think worst case scenario we should get a character claim from before the day ends.
I don't like a no lynch situation in day 1. But I will not mind it if we guys cannot decide on one sole candidate (after discussions ofcourse)

 

[hedger_14]

Yeah, it is always helpful to get a lynch on Day 1. Even if they are townie, then you can get some clues from who voted for them and stuff and if they are mafia, it is a plus but when you just have a no lynch, then you're in the exact same position mainly after Night 1 and you've lost a townie with no hints at all, apart from what the power roles can pick up at night.

So I think we need a character claim from Vedarshi?

TBH I'd be more concerned about those who slip below the radar. I mean, I've been Mafia a few times and I would never look to night kill someone who is causing a ruckus and is the centre of attention, distracting everyone from the actual mafia. Only mafia member I've seen draw attention to themselves is me tbh And that's because it's just my natural style of play, so I don't change it even if I'm mafia to avoid suspicion. It's risky but generally works for me. Papa_Smurf did it last game, but as part of a long elaborate plan.

If he's drawing attention and suspicion to himself...he's probably not mafia. I'd want to interrogate those who are just slipping under the radar, quietly going by surviving night after night.

Only reason I'd lynch Vedarshi now is cause he's a pretty poor town player to begin with.

I agree to your points But I doubt even you would go out and claim the most probable mafia character as a means drawing attention to yourself.

He is either mafia (which is good for us) or he is townie with a lot of suspicion on him (he will be a source of needless confusion later one).

Whatever his plan was by pulling off the joke, he has created a lot of needless confusion. I think its time for a character claim from him, so that we can either lynch him or move on to other people (which is I think in my opinion really important)

 

[Papa_Smurf]

It seems we have reached an impass. Some players want to get rid of Vedarshi, some people want a no lynch, and others are trying to dig out possible suspicious characters.

I agree with Callum that a lynch is better than a no lynch. Which is why I voted for Vedarshi. But he hasn't done anything suspicous. That Abhas claim thing was clearly meant to be a joke, and any moron should be able to see that. It wasn't funny, but it was clearly a joke. Which is why I've put my suspcion on the people who are trying to get rid of him just for that 'joke' reason.

I'm lynching him because he is a useless player. Harsh, I know, but what other choice do I have. No-one else is suspicous enough to be lynched, and from what I've seen, Vedarshi has shown no improvement. If we lynch him, and he turns out to be mafia, then whoop whoop! And if he doesn't, then it's not a big loss, as he wouldn't have been that much of a help to us. I think it's a risk worth taking, especially considering there's 20 of us.

My lynch stays, but there are a few players I've got my eye on.

 

[Spoobir]

Well he's viewing the thread so I guess I'll wait for Vedarshi to claim. No evidence whatsoever he is mafia but that goes the same for everyone else tbh.

 

[Papa_Smurf]

He's not viewing the thread. Just me, Ollie, P_Squared and you.

But yeah, he does need to roleclaim.

 

[Ollie_H]

Yeah he is viewing the thread now. I should be more active for the next 10 days as the the first bulk of exams are out the way now.

It's clear to me, that like Papa, I believe that Vedarshi was just joking. I can't see why he would really claim Abhas on purpose. Yeah it was a terrible joke (unlike mine to Tom ) but it does mean he brought suspicion on himself like all games. He needs 6 more for a lynch and could be the best candidate seeing as he is the closest to a majority can't really think of anyone else to go instead. I'm one of the people who barracks for a lynch on the first day.

Someone's gotta go. I'd like to see some more pressure on Aditya after his; 'As I'm a townie this time around, I've decided that I will be more useful then I've been in the last few games, where I've been a townie.' Firstly he must mean mafia, but it's such a blatant attempt to try and make himself town it makes him very sus.

 

[ARay]

Just so Vedarshi knows, I want only a character claim from him (if that is clear enough)

 

[Aditya]

I have not seen any insightful posts from you yet. So you are still playing your quiet game in my opinion.

So far, I haven't even contributed as much as I was doing in the last few games. It has been a busy week and I haven't really had a look at the last few pages. I'll be most likely free tomorrow, so I will try and read the discussion on the last few pages tomorrow and post something helpful.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Just over 2 hours left, I think.

 

[Chewie]

what? There are 8 hours according to what you said
