Setup
~16 Town vs. 4 Mafia
~Both teams have a mix of power roles and vanilla roles.
~This setup is mostly closed. Players will not receive information about the number of power roles on either faction, or about the existence of most power roles. However, I will say that there are no secret non-standard abilities or powers in this game. Role powers are relatively limited.
~All members of the mafia team have been given fake character claims.

The only roles which will be publicly revealed are the following two:

Sergeant Nicholas Angel - Town. Masons w/ PC Butterman. 2-shot tracker. Can grant another player 1-shot track upon death.
Police Constable Danny Butterman - Town. Masons w/ Sgt. Angel. Every night, acts as a bodyguard for Sgt. Angel. Will die in Angel's place if he is targeted for a nightkill unless overridden by other powers.

Hiii pyxxy.

It's semi closed since we only know two mechs. We can assume it's not bastard and there's no cult element (meaning no conversion).

Just have to figure out mechs as we go along.

I'm so happy you're here

no tbh, functionally it is the same with more "smoke" involved in regards to claims and PR abilities at night
how long have you been playing mafia for, and what's your playstyle
also what was your major if you graduated college

The trick is to use up most of your posts in the first half of the day so that you have no voice in the eventual votealanche at end of day!

There is no jester character in this movie.

Cuff ‘em, boys

Aaaaaanyway, I’m inclined to go along with Wilgy and Cape for reasons.

Even though Alison is leading poll for the memes, I don’t hate it. “Good evening” and “I am bored” aren’t the most thrilling takes to enter a game.

This sounds identical to my strategy in champs except they gave me infinite posts at EoD

Indeed... but arguably not the most stilted entrance lol

I'm multi tabbing 5 games and yet I'm so very bored
