Be Excellent To Each Other

I fear it's the latter.

Obv

Also, people who have asserted their allegiance in a way that will allow Lord Decisive to investigate them:

Cras
GazChap

People who haven't:

Everyone else

Now who's looking suss?

Gazchap is.

Well yeah, natch.

You are.

Coz you're in the Mafia with Lord Decisive.

Oooh, clever. I've also posted more than 8 times, so Mr Dave can investigate me too.

Actually we really do have a shit ton of investigative roles.

We really do.

At least one will be Mafia. Likely Mr Dave or Captain Mayor Decisive Clown Face, or whatever he's called.

How do you figure that?

Assuming Troops has assigned mafia roles randomly, it could be any or none of the four.

Ah, but you know what they say about people that assume?

I would expect him to attempt to balance the Mafia and the Town. If your character has a straight up investigate role, they'll likely not also be a hit man.

Possibly a false assumption, but I reckon 2/3 town and 1 Mafia for the detecting types (and possibly one neutral).

Stats would say that, it being a Trooper game would say

Has cras really made 34 posts?

Also, is DavPaz actually playing?

Feel free to check it

He posted once early.

My win condition is most certainly town.

I am town, hear me belm!

Lynch me if you think it'll help.

At the very least you'll know I've been truthful and that my information is correct, which may come in handy later.

Obviously you lose an investigative role though.

I don't. My point was that you're not likely to be a bad guy, but all these cult witterers can't actually read.

(No more likely than anyone else, rather)

Keep digging your hole, Cras. Keep digging.

Not sure what hole.

Just as a reminder though...

People who have asserted their allegiance in a way that will allow Lord Decisive to investigate them:

Cras
GazChap
Mr Dave
Bobbyaro

People who haven't:

Everyone else
Specifically Myp

Are you trying to get more people to state something so there's less chance of Lord Decisive picking you?

I've posted enough times for Mr Dave to investigate me though, so there's that.

No, but it's thoroughly interesting watching people try and wriggle out of posting anything decisive. Like you and myp just did.

I am happy to reveal I am pro-town, if that puts your mind at rest? However, you know the odds of Lord Decisive of picking you decrease the more people you goad into making an admission.

I've already posted something decisive about you being a cunt. I've no problem with posting anything decisive.

That was a better post in my head.

I'm still of the opinion that putting such a large target on yourself and putting yourself in a small pool of potential investigatees if you're a baddun is dim. And I don't think Cras is quite that belmsome. Particularly this early. and particularly particularly if he was a single member cult

and if he was bad, I doubt he'd be as lukewarm towards getting his goal of lynching the safe detective.

Could be wrong, but certainly much less suspicious than most others.

Or whatever Myp is calling himself these days, the obfuscating twat.

Ha, and again

We've got four investigators. Even if they're not all on the town's side, the chances of me not getting investigated tonight are pretty much zero - which I'm completely fine with. You appear to have more of an issue with it.

? He said he was pro-town?

Or do you think he was trying to be clever with the "puts your mind at rest" bit?

He dodged the statement like a Tory politician.

Down with Myp!

"I am happy to reveal X" isn't actually saying "I am X". I'd be delighted to reveal I have a 14" tonker, that doesn't make it true.

My win condition is town.

Ooooooh, good point.

Hmm. I SAY HMM MYP SIR.

See? Didn't hurt, did it?

Nope.

Not now, but when you kill me tonight it will.

Making you dance is much more fun.

That would be the best secret power ever.

Haha! *Rewrites role*

Actually being able to rewrite your role nightly would be the best superpower ever.

Yes, I am playing. Reading, cogitating and what not.

Ensuring you don't post enough for Mr Dave to investigate you.

Was that a statement of fact? But no. Holding my waffle until it's needed.

That's true enough - we've got plenty of time to post.

It's a shame Mr Dave's (not that one, that one. No, that one. Yes) role doesn't allow him to investigate quiet people, rather than giving people an excuse not to post.

Given that a number of the roles will have 'hidden' powers as well - I bet they have something that will check out those who did not hit the magic number :-)

Although it does allow considerable amounts of investigation by proxy. It's rather clever really. You can either risk being investigated (during the day no less) having said enough to potentially make you a good investigation target - whether by slipping up or talking lots but saying little, or put yourself in a group that is going to be seen as inherently untrustworthy and one that may be targeted by other power roles for that reason.

It's needed for us to decide if you're a bad guy or not. People waffling is always needed
