Re: Shadow Corridors Mafia [DAY 1] - Encroaching Darkness

I'm gonna be honest I'm having a hard time really caring about/getting into the meat of the Jack/NIK stuff because they're both scummy enough that I want to kill them both and I haven't seen anything that convinces me one is significantly townier than the other.

I wanna talk about Made. What's your progression on me like, Made? You went from "Alison's behavior is NAI" to "I have the last reasons to suspect Alison" to an unreserved "Alison is town". What did I do or say that finally made me a real townread?

Alison /w a side of Nutella is a special this week, but the Nutella is VERY option. A treat deceptively low in calories, but entirely unoffensive.

I'm learning the Flanders is an aquired taste, quite bitter-- but still fresh

Martin looks good, but empty calories I'd say

The GS is murky, but taste okay. Needs to be marinated further.

Our Kyles are a hit, but potential a flash in the pan longing for SUBSTANCE

There's a guy name Joseph who works here....

The nova is foul ngl, but, like the GS, it's not order by critics often. A critic's review of either dish is in order

The Nanook is bland--tasteless , and the Jack is hated by critics, I trust the critics but it's fan's aren't exactly the most cultured....

We are considering adding Boknows to the menu, but again bland. Ngl, I haven't had much of this dish

the Polypie exist.

Steer clear of the KZA, also imitation.

Re: Shadow Corridors Mafia [DAY 1] - Encroaching Darkness

The Gambit Demon has bargained with me.

Here is the reference post outlining the Gambit Demon's role, as stated in the OP. It is a third-party role.
-Gambit Demon: During the day, select a player to bargain with. You will join a chat with the player who can choose to accept your help *SECRETS*
On Day 0, the Gambit Demon selected me as the target, and has revealed their identity to me. They have performed a full claim to me, listing every detail about their role and win condition, and assured me that they intend to townside this game because it helps them fulfil their win condition. I will not be revealing the Gambit Demon's identity right now, because the Mafia Obliterator has a soupkill.

In the spoilers below, I will set out what the Gambit Demon's roleclaim is, how we can use it to our advantage, and ways to protect against deception or treachery by the Demon.
Spoiler: show
Here is what the Gambit Demon claims their role does.

1) As stated in the OP, they can select a player to bargain with, and gain BTSC with them.
2) When a player is being bargained with, they may choose at night to gain more power by striking a deal with the demon. This grants them a power role, but comes at a cost.
3) The first time they strike a deal, they gain a roleblock, but their vote is reduced to 0 the next day. This is "tier 1".
4)The second time they strike a deal is "tier 2", giving them the ability to swap places with another player (ie. a Bus Driver ability), at the cost of having all abilities directed at the Gambit Demon redirect to them instead.
5) The third time is "tier 3", and kills them instantly but allows them to either kill or protect any other player.

This is a mere claim; the Gambit Demon can be lying about any part of this.

The Gambit Demon claims that their win condition is to have any person either take the tier 3 deal, OR strike 7 deals in total. That means that there must be seven instances of a person accepting a power - it could be 3 players going up to tier 2 and a third going up to tier 1, or 7 different players going up to tier 1, or any combination that lets them get up to 7 deals struck in total.

I have very good reasons to believe this win condition is the absolute truth. I think it is imprudent to specify those reasons, but I will ask you to take it on faith that they're being honest about that part - there aren't any booby traps, or "everyone who strikes a deal with the demon ends up getting killed" things going on with this. They just have to get one person to tier 3 or seven people to tier 1, and then they win and can check out of the thread.
Spoiler: show
I believe there is a way for us to use the Gambit Demon's role to our advantage. I will outline briefly the plan here. Naturally there will be concern about betrayal on the part of the Demon. These concerns will be dealt with in the third spoiler, "Protections against treachery". The plan is as follows.

1) I will personally select a player who I trust to be town. The Gambit Demon will offer them a bargain, opening BTSC with them. I myself will strike a deal with the Demon for the tier 1 benefit, and so will the player who they contact.

2) In this manner, two players that I trust to be town will gain a power role (roleblock). Then, we will select another player who we trust to be town, possibly with input from the rest of the thread. This player will also take a tier 1 power.

3) This process repeats, with a new consensus town player selected each night, and taking powers. This part is very important: NO PLAYER WILL TAKE ANY POWER BEYOND TIER 1. Tier 1 is the power that runs the least chance of a catastrophic booby trap implanted in it, as it is hardly likely for the host to inflict severe penalties on someone who accepts a single night's bargain. The downside is not particularly relevant, especially this early in the game. More importantly, it is crucial to the strategy I have devised for protecting against the Demon's treachery that nobody take more than 1 tier of power. I repeat: [color=]ACCEPT THE FIRST DEAL, AND NO MORE[/color]. Don't get greedy and try to make a hero bus driver shot and ruin everything.

4) The sum result of this is that we will essentially turn the Gambit Demon into machine that generates one free roleblock shot every night, to be handed out to people deemed consensus town. Because it is public who the roleblocks are given to, they are held accountable for their shots. That means if we accidentally misclear a wolf and give them a roleblock, they're obliged to use it on someone the town thinks they should use it on, rather than roleblocking a town player or claimed PR.

5) The Gambit Demon has agreed to this plan, because this allows them to get seven bargains struck fairly easily and fulfil their win condition.
Spoiler: show
Now, a name like "Gambit Demon" doesn't exactly inspire suspicion, and neither does the thought of striking mysterious "deals" with them. However, there is no need to worry, as I have devised two strategies to ensure that the Gambit Demon is incentivized to side with town and to obediently hand out roleblocker shots to whoever we agree should get it.

Strategy One: The Leash
Because my plan involves no player taking a power beyond tier 1, the Gambit Demon will have to give seven different players a tier 1 power in order to win. This means that we are essentially putting a leash on them, forcing them to work with us and give players we select a tier 1 power over the course of 7 days. By controlling the circumstances in which the Gambit Demon is permitted to win, and ensuring that they won't actually achieve their win condition until later in the game, we force them to side with us early in the game in order to reach that win condition. This protects against scumsiding, and also against situations where the Gambit Demon achieves their win condition and is free to rampage around the thread causing chaos as they please.

Strategy Two: The Dead Man's Switch
One of my major concerns when constructing this strategy was the possibility of the bargain being more Faustian than expected - perhaps taking a power would have some negative side effect inflicted on me that the Demon has chosen not to disclose. Or perhaps the Demon would get some measure of power over me as a player if I take their bargain. Or perhaps they're simply lying about some aspects of their role claim (remember, I have reason to believe that their win condition is accurate, but not that their role claim is) and can't be trusted.

For this reason, I have established a Dead Man's Switch strategy that allows the Gambit Demon's role to be kept secret (to protect them from being killed by the Obliterator) if they cooperate, but leaked to the rest of the thread if and only if something goes wrong. They are incentivized to make sure this does not happen, because if their identity is leaked, they will be killed either by the Obliterator or by townies, and therefore be unable to achieve their win condition (which is why the Leash is important for keeping them in line, by allowing us to hold this Damocles' Doom over their head).

The strategy is as follows. When the Gambit Demon contacts a player to offer a bargain to them, they gain BTSC with that player. (Remember, this is a player that's been agreed on to be unimpeachably town by the rest of the thread.) As stated in the plan, they will accept the deal and again the tier 1 roleblocking power. They will also, at the same time, establish the Gambit Demon's identity. This can be done in a multitude of ways, or as the player sees fit. If you don't have a better way, the Gambit Demon will tell you what method I used to establish their identity and then have you use it to prove their identity to you.

Under ordinary circumstances, the Gambit Demon's identity is to be kept secret to protect against Obliterator. But if anything goes wrong, the players who know the Gambit Demon's identity will reveal it to the thread, and the town will then execute them, preventing them from completing their win condition. The threat of this will keep the Gambit Demon in line. Things going wrong include: the Gambit Demon not offering a bargain to the person we agreed on, an undeclared negative side effect happening on people who took deals, the people who took deals previously dropping dead without a good explanation for why, or any other evidence of foul play or treachery.

If we have falsely cleared a wolf, and wrongly selected scum to receive the Gambit Demon's bargain, then scum will be privy to the knowledge of who the Gambit Demon is. If the Gambit Demon themselves dies under suspicious circumstances (eg. the Obliterator's soup kill), then we will know that one of the people who we trusted enough to give a roleblock to was a deepwolf in disguise. This is still a positive development for us, because it proves the existence of a deepwolf while we have already gotten to reap some benefits from the Gambit Demon (in the form of giving townies free roleblocks). If the mafia want to waste their nightkill on a 3P slot and work to pass it off as something other than a Gambit Demon snipe (which would out the existence of a deepwolf), that is also fine by me.
If there are any objections or flaws with this plan, let me know.

Alright, writeup ready to send. I'm a little worried this is FPSing, but I've checked over the mechanics and they seem correct, and if they are then we can get some really major upside for town (to the tune of 7 free roleblocks). So, here goes nothing.

I think I've been overthinking controversial CDC slots like NIK and KZA too much. CDC has a strong reputation of being able to read each other. MR told me that CDC games almost always end in a town win because CDCers are very obvtown and have very strong and well-established meta on each other so they always catch each other when they're scum. Falcon and Flanders are CDCers that are almost certainly town this game. Ergo I should let them read NIK, KZA and Radish and sheep those reads as long as they aren't totally crazy.

He brought up the 112/vanity game with me when we were hydra'ing together. I think he's still affected by it/it impacts his reads and play, but I don't think he repped being affected so deeply that I would be suspicious of the fact that he seems to trust 112 in this game.

112 is town. I agree with this way too much and her tone/energy feels good. She's completely wrecked me a few times, but 112 is town for now

2. Alison and Nutella are town but they've completely jumped the shark as players.
3. Tutuu is probably but might not be town and same with Poison. The fact that the majority of the game has been played through reading Tutuu who has been entirely NAI from my perspective meant I just wasted nearly 2 hours of my life catching up for no reason. Poison is actually probably just town too tbh.
4. The CDC clique being given a bunched town clear is the dumbest shit I have ever heard on maths alone let alone that there are actually players within that group that are scummy and some are town.
5. Falcon and Flanders are loltown.
6. KZA, NIK, Made, Sig, Martin all have pretty high equity to be mafia.
7. Anyone pretending to have near to lock reads here has mafia equity.
8. Sloonei is a 3p.
9. Kylemii is my top mafia.
1.You've got some contradictions here, namely 7 and 2.
2. 6is flat out wrong, sig is super civvie. The only other person as civvie as sig is 112. Since he makes me laugh.
The fact she kept getting brought up at all just felt weird to me. No disrespect, but like am I missing something maybe?
Gonna come down a little harder on this. This amount of support feels disingenuous, to say the least.
I don't get what your issue is. A bunch of people townread or townlean 112, but it's not like we're all voting in 112 to be our supreme leader. A bunch of people townread Falcon, Flanders, and other consensus townies too. What makes 112 special?

Your paragraph about him does make sense tbh

I may have been giving too much weight to the anti-consensus takes, thought they might've been discredit-y (in a scummy context) but I guess not.

As you put it, he may just be lost town and honestly it didn't occur to me to think of Mac as lost town ever because I generally have heard good things about him outside of this game whenever he was brought up.
Every player gets lost once in a while. The good ones know when they're stuck and admit it, and try to find an anchor read whose reads they can sheep/whose slot they can tunnel, depending. The bad ones flail around and get themselves exed or make random decisions.

Was this the reason everyone suddenly became Team 112? As I was reading, It really felt her name was drawn out of a hat as the person we all trust suddenly based vaguely on her tone, i think?
Only Mac has expressed that sentiment I think?

Re: Shadow Corridors Mafia [DAY 0]

Why do you want Mac to feel bad about his fake reads if he's a wolf? Isn't that his job, to make up fake stuff? Wouldn't it make more sense to direct "your reads are bad and you should feel bad" esque comments to a misguided townie?

I picked the people that I thought were all town, and who also think that each other are town. Mac thinks Thunal is scum, so I have to pick one, and I'm slightly more interested in towncoring with him on the basis that I think he has the ability to act as a check and balance and ensure that we don't confbias ourself into orbit or induct a wolf into the core.

The reason I townread Mac is essentially that I see his "I'm lost and I hate this game" attitude as being believable for town!Mac and the way he's been circling around and around just seems devoid of agenda to me. LIke let's say Mac is scum, what exactly is he doing here? His play makes no sense to me if he's scum, he's not killing townies or ingratiating himself as a trusted figure, he's giving bold anti-consensus takes, but he's not really powerwolfing with those takes either. For players like nutella and me that he knows well specifically, I expect him to take firmer stances and either try to pocket or bury us if he's scum, and he's not really done either, which sells the "confused/lost townie" narrative to me.

I'm caught up. I propose a Mac/nutella/tutuu/Alison/Martin/falcon/Flanders towncore. Does anyone dissent to this notion?

i dont see it
Says they want to see the tutuu conflict firsthand, but no followup or evidence they actually went back and read it. Is asked for thoughts, lays down two townreads on consensus-townread players. You ask people to sheep you on Sloonei, and they agree immediately, in a way that makes it clear it's "not their fault" if Sloonei flips green. Follows by straight-up giving advice to a mafia role on optimal play. I see this as hostile 3P trying to help the mafia coordinate by giving advice to the Obliterator.
You are being far too serious, and reading far too much into my posts. I'm just chatting here, not coordinating doomsday, and why would I, as a third-party, want to help the mafia? And how does what I said even help the mafia?

It's not advice, it's awareness, literally responding to nutella's concern that wolf-hunting will be difficult due to anonymity.
You're literally giving the Obliterator advice on how to play, which is to your win condition if you're an anti-town 3P. I have listed other reasons for scumreading you too.

Go on then. Make one up.
BoKnows hard shielding Flanders for meta reasons before the thread arrived at the consensus of him being town is townie. #203 and #599 from him shielding tutuu and telling the thread to move on is pro-town, since I think she's town. #203 also shows an eagerness to start building a towncore and clearing people, which is good. In general BoKnows tends to be a cards on the table, open and transparent player and his agenda is usually very plain. It's seems clear that his agenda this game is townie and focused on building bridges between players rather than burying them.
