ROMANVM HISTORIVM: A Roman History Mafia Game Thread

[Tweet]

1. CraigPelton - Feel fine about him for now.
2. Mitch - Had some horrendous posts. Claimed. It was exhilarating.
3. Blaine - Apparently, this is a phase that everyone goes through, but would've wanted to push.
4. Chevy - Get rekt, shitty mustache boi.
5. Flay - Have largely ignored Flay's posts this game.
6. Alco - Is allegedly in this game.
7. Doddsy - Hasn't been around a ton, I don't think, but did have one memorable high-effort MQ. I liked the post in the moment, but in the scheme of things, it could've been providing cover for inactivity as scum. Would probably cop.
8. Ace - The chatbox guy?!
9. Lethal - Has been around. Is probably town. Not really based on anything other than volume of posts relative to not tripping my radar.
10. Tweet - Literally my first town read.
11. Showtime - I don't think that lynch happens without Magic. Would've been a really weird bus.
12. Odo - Pretty neutral. Wait-and-see mode. Not a great place for a noteworthy player to be.
13. Retepadam - It me.
14. Wang Chung - I have no idea who this is.
15. T-Pein - Volume poster. Probably town, for lack of being noticeably anything else.
16. The Fourth Wall - Anti-town role. I'm not a fan of mods putting town in a position where they're incentivized to lynch a town player because their role is anti-town, so I'm hoping he's just actually scum.
17. Miss Bliss - You haven't repped out yet, so that's a good sign.
18. Poyser - Mild town read. Would like to see him be more active, but if he agreed with the Day 1 direction (did he?), then he's fine.

Uh hang on, Peter says in this post that Mitch has claimed but I didn't notice it?

I've been awake for like 3 hours, have I been drinking already and can't remember?

Omg he's the Census

Yeah I've been drinking obviously

 

[Alco]

Does anyone remember if the scum governor in Smark's game had to announce it in thread?

 

[Tweet]

Uhh yeah so wagoning Mitch tomorrow isn't gonna be too fruitful then is it

What makes me think there’s good alignment potential is Chevys first post where he shaded the fuck out of TFW and then voted junk who hadn’t posted lmao

This, and also the fact that TFW categorically chose to lynch the claimed BG, which I don't feel like his level of suspicion warranted that kind of stance.

Those two pieces of play made me think they were bussing but TFW has felt more natural as I went along and read up. Idk maybe I'm being gullible.

They did not

And now that I think of it, Mitch saying he feels better about Evans after the claim is more in line with what you'd call a default stance. So maybe he's not who we're looking for after all.

It’s not just character cop, it’s the census too

what would be the use in scum having a character cop anyway? Unless it’s just a claim but his protective role was obviously designed to be the role he was to claim and characters are irrelevant to scum so there’s obviously a point to it

I think another question is, why would scum need both the Character Cop and the Census if there's a recruit mechanism in the game? The obvious answer would be - they don't. Which oughta make Mitch non-aligned with Evans imo.

Yay for fluent reads

Far as Alco goes, he's been on the Evans wagon with no hesitation and for now that's a good thing, it could be a bus but I'd put the chances of that at a value where it's not very important for us to make Alco a priority at this stage.

I understand what Peter is saying wrt Odo btw, I found that post pretty weird myself.

It's my birthday today so I'm gonna probably eat some cake with the family, watch my team play football and go to the escort house later

Don't wait up

You see the problem I have with this point Tweet is that you basically shared the same thought pattern, or at close to it. You questioned me wanting to lynch the claimed BG with a lot of confidence but then a bit later you were all in on lynching Chevy despite the claim as well.

I thought you would see where I was coming from, I don't think players should get town passes for a claim if their play looks really scummy. I'd rather just get rid of the scum ideally lol, obviously it's not so great when they flip town. Sometimes it can pay off taking that chance, it did here.

Hmm yeah I'm back at the part where I start posting and TFWs posts since then look worse again, he seems to be holding his flag in the wind and not really have much conviction behind anything he's saying. He's got Doddsy in his sights now, he hasn't said a single word about him before others brought him up. Thought Alco was sus, then abandoned that stance once people gave reasons for why Alco might be town. Thinks Wangs entrance is the same as last game so Wang is town, but now brings up the point Odo made against Wang when that reads list first appeared so TFW seems ready to abandon that town read as well.

 

[Marty McFourth]

I've got Ace in my sights, not Doddsy.

I just think Dods would be ideal for a claim, I don't know how else I'm going to read the fella. His multiquote entrance feels like he was trying to appear town honestly, but there's not much credit in that. It's like a gut read.

 

[Marty McFourth]

It was Poyser's point on Wang not Odo btw, and I mentioned that because it deserves to be seen

I'm firmly in belief Wang is town
