Hey guys, since mafia is srs bsns, if I could get role name claims and role flavor from people that would be awesome (note: this doesnt mean c/p a role pm because you cant do that, its night 0). I will provide the same courtesy to you. I've already talked to a few people, and it would be cool to get the village going if I could get some name claims right off the bat. Doing so sooner rather than later is ideal, as it means its less likely mafia can come up with good fakes. I'm like always on #ffm, although since tomorrow there's a hurricane so I'm going to be a bit less active than usual tomorrow, although I'll probably be on irc on my kindle, if you want to contact me that way (my irc nick is jalmont bros). Thanks!
To clarify, I'm asking for a name and flavor text exchange. Not a role exchange, not a role PM exchange. A name and flavor text exchange. This makes it much easier for the village to
- Get somewhat organized before the first lynch, yet vital roles can remain somewhat hidden until someone is cleaned.
- Weed out false claims
- Get mafia to claim early and be set with a stable claim that was made extremely early on.
- Point out possible double-claims to highlight who may be bad
This also avoids some problems of claiming a role to an unproven mafia member:
- Even if you do not trust me, i do not gain vital information about what your role actually does.
- Letting mafia easily false-claim roles they know are not in the game.
Even if i am mafia (which I'm not), and i were to get role names and flavor, all this does to help me is
- Guess what people might be important, yet not know well enough to want to go killing near blindly. I get very slight indications of importance, and as we saw in Pokemafia, importance measuring can be wrong sometimes (seviper was not important, it was vital without a doubt). Also, this doesnt even take into account the fact that I'd probably get false claims from the other mafia as well, so judgment is even more clouded than before.
Honestly, its pretty clear that the benefits of contacting me outweigh the potential downsides.
If you still choose not to contact me, that's fine. Just know that odds are I'm village, and if I am you're going to stick out like a sore thumb. And I am (although I suppose I can't exactly prove that to you right now, now can I).
im better than dle so claim to me instead of him
