It wasn't the goat tiger King game

Though that does remind me of a game I played, when I and one other townie completely broke the game by naming the town colour when the host had forgotten to put it in the OP

Yeah, and I'm still pissed about it.

Thanks for ruining my game that one time, Sky!

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

I'm kidding obviously, I'm not actually that mad. It's just the reason I added that little stipulation about trying to game the system through means like that.

No prob

It's the reason the "don't try to confirm yourself by non-gameplay means" rule exists - I say that you've made your mark on the world when there's a lasting warning to not do what you did

Juice attaching to theme spec is not great but I am TIRED of day 1 Juice hunting

I haven't twisted any words. If something doesn't hurt, that means there's inherently an advantage to be gained, is there not?

In mafia, there is no neutral option. It's either positive or negative. Theme Spec is generally negative. Even if someone had theme knowledge, that isn't going to be an inherent advantage.

I completely disagree. I believe theme spec can be a positive in very certain situations, are those situations almost too specific? Yeah, why I wouldn’t go as far to call it an advantage but you can expect anything in these games. It’s better to at-least put a note on it for now to be taken off guard with a character reveal when it’s like “Oh of course that character would have that power.”

it’s nothing to lynch over obviously but it’s atleast something there. We gotta use everything we can as town, that is included. Also it’s not like this was the main reason why I asked, like Man mentioned it was literally just to get people to start talking and behold it’s worked.

Yep, you clearly haven't read the rules, as I suspected.

No character reveals, no flavor reveals. So flavor spec is kind of moot here.

 

[The Gipper]

Except Smark has much more wit to tie his characters to complete theme spec.

Can you tell us with that 100% certainty? Again anything is possible.

Is not reading the OP towny or scummy to you?

We've played with people who ride me and Smark's ass for that shit.

Also, for clarification, you’re allowed to speculate they might be the postman character if they claimed they were a messenger role. What’s not allowed is for the person with the messenger role to confirm or deny that they are at the postman in the movie.

That being said, always be wary about hunting on flavor.

Speaking about not reading.

Probably leaning on the town side because Gip likely would have been told right away unless his team isn't saying anything.

I read it, and take it as a call to disregard flavor spec, you lummock.

That's interesting, I'd call it scummier because of a similar reason - scum chat would get a lil bit of info and not feel the need to check all the details in the OP

I don't think it would really help the scum team though. Flavor hunting is just bad in every way tbh.
