Hey everyone!

I don't see any familiar faces here, so it should be good playing with you all for the first time.

@Gent Are there any ICs in this game?

What's an IC?

I can't remember what is stand for, but it means an experienced player. It counts as somebody who has completed 3 or more games. Usually the NFMs have a bunch of newbies, then a couple of ICs. I can't really recognise anyone from this game, so I don't think we have any ICs in this.

Hello this is my second forum game, in the last mafia and SK lynched me and mafia and witch almost had majority. Welp CaptainPhasma123 the transporter carried the town win.... what were the chances. Oh and also everytime I introduce myself I feel like I am in an non-anonymous alchoholics club.

Hello!! This is my 3rd NFM game, and I'm hoping I can be useful because my previous reads were shit and I didn't contribute much :c

Hello, This is my first ever game

Alright, so this is just a point that I want to bring up.
Spoiler: We have a lynch today. I doubt that we will get any solid scumreads off shitposts, and I am not willing to PL anybody in an NFM. So we are most likely going to end up not lynching today. However, there is absolutely no point in voting for a nolynch. If we can't find a suitable lynch target for the day, then we will wait for the day to come to an end. Voting for a nolynch only lowers the amount of discussion that you can get during the day, and as most of you should know discussion is extremely important in FM. FM may have the same mechanics as TOS, but it is a very different game. FM isn't just following the power roles to freelo, it is about making reads and analysing people's posts. So discussion is crucial for the Town.
So basically, if you can't be bothered to read that, just don't vote for a no-lynch and contribute to the Town often.

Anyways, just to get the discussion rolling, what do you guys think is the most dangerous mafia setup?

Personally, I think it would be GF, Blackmailer, Consigliere and Janitor.
GF because it is confirmed, Blackmailer because it can communicate with the Witch during the day, and can even communicate with its other mafia members during the day, Consigliere because it can figure out who is who and gives the mafia an advantage on who to kill and Janitor because it opens up the claim space for Mafia and destroys the method of using PoE to find out who is scum.

Isnt shortening the discussion considered scummy and you just said how to avoid looking scummy..... Only the mafia has an advantage if we end the day with no lynch

Hello everyone nice to meet you, first time playing a NFM~

Hello all! I've played a few games of FM now and this will be my last game as a newbie, though this NFM is certainly very different from all the other NFMs I've played. We have a five-day day 1 with the option of lynching someone. So the first order of business will be to get active and get people talking. Don't let people fly under the radar. The mafia have not had a chance to coordinate (I assume mafia do not have day-chat?) so even if we don't lynch anyone we have five days to pressure people into acting and saying things before mafia can discuss strategy amongst themselves.

The town make-up is 11v5. A mislynch today and a town-kill tonight puts it at 9v5. So first point of discussion, what do people think of lynching today in general?

That was basically what I was trying to imply. We should let the day run until the end if we don't know who to lynch, but we should never vote for a no-lynch, because that lowers the amount of discussion.

Agreed on the worst setup here. There might be some strength in some mafioso combination, mafioso + consort + janitor, for the double roleblock and stuff.

I also noticed that

TrueGent wrote:You may lynch today.
Last Wills and Death Notes will not be in play.

Which means, TIs, please be QUICK with telling us what you've found. Any important information needs to be told to town instantly. Let's not be afraid of massclaiming early.

Hello there! This is my second FM game, and it's quite different from the last one I played. I see Mihail, Forgotten and Suckable from the last game, which is nice to know that there's people I can identify with.

First day lynching... AND no last wills *might* be a problem, though since I've never played on a setup like this, that's hard to tell.

Good thing that there's no SK, because otherwise we'd have two expected kills each night.

I do agree on that dangerous Mafia setup. Janitor is one of the roles I hate having in play on ToS and hate playing myself, mainly because, while opposing it, Mafia gains more room to claim, while playing it is just... eh, for my point at least.

Also, TrueGent and Metrion, my name doesn't seem to be on the playerlist. Is this an error, or was it because of replacements and such?
Also (I haven't read this anywhere but) are whispers allowed in this game?



Just a side note to the rest of the players: I'll be having limited internet access for a while, so just in case you think my inactivity is lurking/scum-like, that's the reason why. I'll try to hop on as often as I possibly can to respond and make reads, but I have no guarantees.

Nevermind that, it hadn't loaded for me.

MWell hello everyone. I have nothing to say now so bye.

I'd like to hear some other opinions towards this as well.

As for the most powerful mafia team, I'm not sure, but I'd say Godfather, Mafioso, Consigliere, and Janitor.

Why do you think Blackmailer is more powerful than mafioso in that team? Double cleaning is kind of difficult to use.
Only mafia deception other than janitor is framer, also kind of useless. I definitely think mafioso is strong as hell since early game is when mafia needs to take control quickly, but not with these role pairings.
