Game Official Ranked Xmas Mafia 2024 - Where Worlds Collide

The X flip would be to help hunt for the other scum team as well as be something claimable that isn't going to overlap too much with a town role.
I think by that reasoning we shouldn't leave Brutus just to the wayside for now. Doesn't mean he should go over today, but don't let him jsut around all game as claimed vig
 
A bodyguard fake claim will eventually resolve itself naturally, seems like poor usage to me at least.
I believe youre confusing Bodyguard who dies protecting their target with Bodyguard who is for all intents and purposes a doctor. They just name it Bodyguard here. I think Alexis is the latter.
 
That's fine, but given that I lack the average setup knowledge, I asked you
And I gave you an answer already. Extra kill power is going to be very limited precisely because it is hard to solve through. Purple will not have more than one role that can kill extra. So Brutus would have to be Yellow, and Arne would have to be Vig (as in a game like this, town would have the ability to kill at night), and then Brutus would have to be claiming his shot from a Mafia kill. Kills per night:

N1 - 3
N2 - 4
N3 - 2

This suggests that yellow is wiped already and the vig shot can fit into all nights. An indie serial is not very likely because it's multiball which removes the value of hard bussing (one reason to have a serial). QED Brutus is town.

I do think the usage was poor though. At the very least you could have waited for more protective claims to be on the table and followed an active suspect. But no use pondering it now I suppose.
 
brutus being yellow kinda doesn't add up with X dying at night

arne was dead already
 
Alright, I am not sure about the wipe. I would rather wait another phase to see if the kills pick up again (fwiw they could have shot into precisely someone that got docced this night or doublestacked), but in a general sense I do agree it's better to solve for purple here because yellow got bumrushed already


A lot what I gather here is that people just endlessy bus on this forum

Its almost like I spent the entire day phase prior shrieking that Alexis was scum or something lol.

You didn't understand that part of the post. That's okay, I'll explain it again.

The argument is made assuming the hypothetical that Brutus is Mafia.

Under that assumption, we know he can't be purple because of Flower's role. So he can only be yellow.

Arne was janitored. So Arne would have to be the actual Vig who shot Watson.

Then, Night 2, two kills must have happened from unexplained sources, and the kill on X must have come from Purple Mafia. Brutus would then be using that kill to evidence his fake claim, outing himself to the purple Mafia.

I obviously do not think this scenario is likely as it would mean Brutus elected to shoot PoE slot Sera last night just to prove his claim. So I am not arguing that this is what happened. Just that this scenario is how he could be scum. I'm actually arguing it to refute the notion that he's scum, as I find the scenario rather ridiculous. Let me know if you have any questions about this still.
 
I mean, that's your problem. There were plenty of better targets but if you want to tell yourself otherwise, I don't care to argue it.
Magic checked if Alexis is vanilla or not after his claim but of course you wont give shit about it lol.
 

oh gotcha
