Mafia: Evil Dead - DAY/NIGHT ONE

Since we have a lot of new faces here, I’m wondering if we should all say how many games we have played in before; it seems that several people have already said this makes a difference in how they evaluate a possible slip or otherwise odd comment.

This is a good idea to get public. It can help both town and scum, but since scum can figure it out among themselves as well, better to say it in the open.
This is my first actual game, but I’ve lurked the last one and read several others.
I found this flash file linked somewhere, which gives a nice overview of possible roles (with the note that the SDMB isn’t shy to add twists to them ;)).

I agree that Pedescribe’s behavior is odd, first claiming that his “slip” was merely a comment about the color and then backtracking to strongly imply that it was a power role slip.

Looking back, he could have just been talking about the color (though he already had one post after the opening color). His actual slip quoted:

@pedescribe

Got my PM…looks pretty cool.

I wonder about how the color is significant though. I have no famililratiy with evil dead, so I’m in the dark here. Is there anything I’m missing?

If it was a real slip about having powers:

1. He is a power role: his suggestion it is a power role is a half claim, to avoid a full claim;
2. He is vanilla and trying to get scum killed instead of a real power role;
3. He is anti-town: setting up for a false claim. But this is IMO unlikely and other scums would have advised against it (they can talk both day and night)!

Just wanted to point out the last again: Scum talking privately day and night really hurts town, because each scum post could be previewed by the other ones to catch mistakes! Also makes manipulating strategies and votes much easier.

@Thing Fish

However, at this point I’m seeing** Pleonast** as slightly scummier, mainly because of his erratic behavior on Night Zero.

Your reasoning is the same why I voted for Pleonast myself, but everyone seemed to ignore it. Also in hindsight his votes for Total Lost (random) and Rapier42 are invalid (which on reading the rules is clear). Pleonast has unvoted pedescribe now, but has not restored his Rapier42 vote (or explicitly unvoted him).

I’m considering to put my vote back, but like you said we still haven’t heard from all players and I’ll wait for that. Maybe they don’t play in the weekend?
