I wasn't taking it seriously.

I'm inclined to agree with you instinctively, particularly in regards for scum to be active.
Hmm... do you think he was being more fluffy than anyone else? I kind of see it and kind of don't
I think Kyan was just trolling? I'm going to assume Sorian is not going bastard mod on us at any rate.
It might have been a real mistake, but we'll never know now, since people gave him the troll defence free
.Yes and no? The current flutters are, to me:
Bronx
Nin
WAMD
Verelios
Xam
Verelios just kinda jumped out at me from that list.

Sorian said that he wouldn't lie. I don't remember if it was in this thread or in the signup's one.
I don't think most town roles are very powerful. I haven't played any role madness, but sounds like a recipe for disaster if town has multiple important roles even if scum is buffed.
What are roles are usually used in role madness?
Bunch of switchers?
It was in the sign ups, I probably should add that to the game rules as well. This isn't a bastard game.
The problem with mass claim is that we don't know how much help Sorian has given scum and possible neutrals. I remember Ace Attorney mafia had neutral being given a fake claim that was a 'perfect alibi' in a sense.
So if everyone claims, what would that mean from scum perspective? They would know all the powers they are against, and could easily plan their night actions with it (use roleblocker to block doctor or similar). Doesn't that put town on disadvantage?
They already know all they are up against. They know which heroes they have, and which powers they have. Everyone has access to the OW roster via external resources. It's a simple matter of deduction, on their part, whether we mass claim or not.
Btw I was talking about a role name claim (aka hero name), not power claim.
Hmm... not so sure I agree with WAMD being on there. She's not had a lot of posts, but there's been more than fluff a little bit.
I'm sure there are outliers, but so far myself, Ty4on, and Splinter have stated that our abilities make sense, lore-wise (assuming they are telling the truth, of course).
How did you get to this conclusion? We have no hard indication that a hero's abilities are going to match the role powers we have in this game, but we have commentary straight from the moderator himself to not do this kind of flavor looking that you're doing right now.
You did say that your power was also twisted Sorian logic. Maybe he found a lore justification to make gossip chat Reaper work
(I'm not familiar with overwatch lore).Not lore-wise, I've never played OW and just looked up the character.
I obviously don't want to specifically state what it is, but it makes sense, lore-wise, it's just a little, uh, "different," Mafia-role-wise.You did say that your power was also twisted Sorian logic. Maybe he found a lore justification to make gossip chat Reaper work
The problem in this case is that if he really make the connection it will be pretty obvious who has which role as soon as the second night phase when a couple of role PM begin to be revealed with the kills.
Ah, ok - you said that your "role" and "ability" line up. I was assuming you meant "hero." Gotcha.

You all seem to forget I'm extremely dumb and slow
I only can really make good, thoughtful posts if I have some information, and we don't have much of anything right now

How do you feel about frank's posts right now?
I took that to mean end of day flavors, kill flavors, randoms stuff popping up in the middle of the day like Bloodborne.
Cross referencing this with my role PM, my conclusion was that Overmafia flavor and Overmafia mechanics are separate, but not necessarily Overwatch mechanics and Overmafia mechanics. Thus far, comments by people on their own role PMs would lead me to believe this is the case.
I mean this is the whole reason why everyone hosts theme games rather than non-theme games, isn't it? They want to make in-jokes and references and clever little subversions, loosely a fan game based on some source material, rather than a pure Mafia mechanics game.
Both you and Burb seem a little bit aggressive, but I'm not sure how to read that as past experience is failing me. *shrugs*

I don't see enough to form a solid line of thinking right now, but I think I will soon.
Again
Proving my point
I do have some ideas related to the game lore, but I feel like I might be going down a deep tunnel and go too far into the realm of speculating until I explode
Eh, possibly. I try to change up my behavior each game a little bit to keep people on their toes.
It's partly due to learning experiences from Wedding Mafia and partly because it's 3am.
What are your gut reads so far? You've been kinda quiet so far.
Wedding Mafia was totally fine I don't know what you are talking about

On further review, I'm leaning slightly scum for Ouro (but still need more information and interactions between others) because he has seemed to make a few mistakes while talking about his Role PM that I wouldn't expect a player of his experience to have
I still have nin ptsd. And ouro ptsd.
I make plenty of mistakes. Let's do some basic math and you can see it again

Thoughts:
-You guys hate the peeking strat. Clearly.
-Ouro seems fairly normal to me.
-I can't comment much on this 'does the lore fit the PM?' discussion with zero knowledge of the game.
-Not sure what Kyan is up to with his claims of vanilla.
-So few of us are actually talking to each other.
-I miss blarg

i'm not going to drink your kool-aid this game
But I'm not voting for you because I need a little bit more
I think Kyan is a bit more suspect, though, than you rn
I've been pulled away by everything unrelated to the game, hence the quietness. I've got a lot of gut reads on the people who are active (Burb and Ouro are slightly aggressive, you're playing your usual Day 1 game, asking questions, Haly's mass claim I dunno what to think) but not much stands out as a scum read now.
Bronx has ignored my question tho and that makes me sad. Also I find his faux (?) outrage silly
BTW I am Zenyatta, the Neutral. I have to hit five people with an Orb of Harmony before I win.
aaaaammmm iiiiiiii
I don't really have much of a reference for Town!Ouro vs Scum!Ouro, so I can't really meta examine him much. :\

you're gonna give me a fucking heart attack at 19
Anyone would be agitated with the shit Salva pulled on me.
It's more I'd find something completely harmless and you'd overreact to the point I think I preemptively started my posts with "Don't worry, I don't suspect you, but"
I've gotta read up on it because it could be exaggerated by my brain, but I remember several times thinking "Ouro is jumpy" in the game.
