> [@TimeLady](#): > > There was a wolf that was a mason though, so it’s should not be immediately clearing. I’m not dealing well with this at all. It’s like yucky chalk screeches. What’s the point of masons if they aren’t all town? Why call them Masons? Why not call them something else so as to not create needless confusion? I don’t have a good feeling about this game. ---

> [@septimus](#): > > Role-blocker is an example whose action is detected by target; are there others? It would be nice to read of examples of the special roles in Mystery Mafia. Is there a good link? (I do NOT have the time or energy to read through a whole game.) > > Anyway, your post did recommend N1 self-targeting for those who didn’t on N0, and that _would_ be a way for Town Vigs to self-destruct, so I’ll leave my vote on you for now. There’s one in post #2, if someone hasn’t already directed you to it. 🙂 Also see my moderator note about the other game sometime in the last few pages (cliffs: fine to talk about the kind of roles that game had, but don’t quote role PMs from there and don’t assume that any particular role will be the same here). ---

I’m interested in the vote count; I’ll be around off and on all day, and I heard somewhere that we _do not_ want a tie. It might be time for some of the outlier voters–like me–to consider a more mainstream vote. > [@Normal\_Phase](#): > > (hah, I said debacle) (I don’t say that word anymore, ever.) ---

> [@Normal\_Phase](#): > > Oh, and the Seer thing. If fake-peeking is now supposed to be any sort of get out of lynch free card (or so much as a reason to even _consider_ not voting someone), I refuse to sign up. If its purpose is to WIFOM the scum, then it must remain there. As soon as it starts taking aim at the town it starts being a bad idea. I don’t know if this is also a cultural difference or just an excuse not to really fully consider a vote for Kraz, but it rubs me all kinds of wrong. It isn’t a get out of lynch free card, it just particularly disturbs me because I KNOW FOR A FACT that his peek is correct, whether it’s fake or real. Although I’m willing to accept that not wanting to lynch someone who has fakepeeked me is a huge leak because it’s so incredibly exploitable by scum, but it’s tough when you know it could be geniune. > [@Episkey](#): > > I think I want to clear you for this though. Any idea why? hmmmmmm _thinking cap_ Because as a wolf I’d just say “ooooOOOOO, goot post, Episkey clear, masons?” ---

Welp, found what everyone was referring to. I probably should just read and catch up before making any comments in the future. Dancecat, this is what you found weird? This is 100x less weird than the random “hes a villager” posts from Krayz. This is basically “come at me wolves” Krayz. > [@Krayz](#): > > I’m really confused here.

> [@TimeLady](#): > > nono, do not rule out masons > > in the last game there were maybe a pool or 5 or 6 people who were designated (masons). each Night they would target someone and if they hit another mason they would be able to talk, and were able to continue targetting other people in order to increase the masonry size. And there’s one of the discussions about the possibility of masons. I don’t consider the idea an assumption, more like an outlier possibility. Like all other roles, we have to allow the possibility until we know what roles definitely exist and everybody is accounted for. > [@sachertorte](#): > > Because scum worry about looking townie because they aren’t, and Town don’t worry about looking Townie because they are. I worry about looking Townie because I often come across as Scum. And I have never started a game as Scum. (I once subbed in as one, though.) ---
