MAFIA 75: TROUBLE AT THE PRECINCT [HIDDEN]

[Princess Neon]

Name Tags are not related to your alignment.

There are no "Vanilla Town" name tags.

Based on my peek I think this is untrueeeeee

You are wrong.

It most certainly gives you a character name though so *insert anime shrug gif*

[Princess Neon]

The basis of my statement is all true though I would certainly have a tag that wouldn't say vanilla on it if I still had the tag from the vendor? Right?

The Flower Vendor would have started the game with a random Name Tag unrelated to their role because the name tags are distributed at random and have no relation whatsoever to Roles.

Wait what lol

[President Eden]

That’s what I thought happened. There are vanilla tags that return “vanilla,” which can be confused pretty easily for returning “vanilla town.”

Le sigh... you don't start with the tag that belongs to you?

Seriously.

Fuck me.

Yes, a flavour name. The flavour names are not related to roles as the setup information makes very clear.

[Rumi Tobari]

Have you played this game before?

If I knew the answer would I ask the question?

Ok, fair. The answer is that the Mafia collectively decide on which one of them will perform the kill, and it can be any of them - however if they want to use the Strongman power then of course on that night in particular it has to be the Strongman that performs the kill. I'll let DemonVHS confirm this but I am 100% confident of this answer.

Okay. I guess I didn't read the setup close enough. I thought strongman performed the kill.

There is no "tag that belongs to you".

You started with a randomly assigned tag, everyone did, that's it.

The Tags are essentially musical chairs.

Think of the tags as a parallel set of roles assigned at the start. Most are vanilla, some have actual powers, none are alignment indicative (unless stated otherwise, but I don’t remember any doing this?), and all of them are subject to “role swapping” shenanigans in some sense.

Does that help?

The Strongman would perform the kill if the Strongman's "Overkill" power was being used. That's a one-night-only power.

Yes, a flavour name. The flavour names are not related to roles as the setup information makes very clear.

Yes I know THAT it also does say Vanilla

My complete lack of understanding on the functions surrounding the mechanic is however on me.

And I wasted a peek thinking I'd actually get valuable info.

Lolkek.

[pyxxy]

Which in turn just means my tag has no power.

Would you mind re-reading the pm you got from the gm and telling us the literal name for the nametag that you peeked?

[Princess Neon]

Wait what lol

Looked.

Yeah I got it now. I just wasted an entire day thinking I had info.

I don't. Lol.

Anyways I have a vanilla tag so that's cool.

None of them are alignment indicative, but two of them can disguise your alignment.

That is, there is one tag that makes whoever wears it scan to the Cop as "guilty" whatever their real alignment (even if they are the Godfather, lololol), and there is one other tag that makes whoever wears it scan to the Cop as "innocent" even if they are a big fat scumbo.

[snowy801]

Oh yea, Jamie is in my don’t kill pool, because I don’t get what the tags thing with Neon is about but I’m sure it’s a townie ploy for something or other.

Oh, just that Neon said they were visited by the Flower Vendor.

The Flower Vendor was then killed by the Mafia.

So the Mafia might very probably perhaps now be in possession of the Name Tag that Neon might have started out with.

So if it just so happens that Neon "peeked" during D1, I would say that it might be worth disclosing this information, especially if it implies that a Mafioso is now strutting around the school grounds wearing an interesting new name tag.

No?

Only if the info is worth disclosing I think

Otherwise scum gets a free peek for no reason

[Princess Neon]

I'm just gonna go jump in a hole for 12 hours again

I think Princess is implying she has the Elliot ness nametag

[Jamiet99uk]

My take-away from all of this is that Neon is probably innocent because all of that confusion would have been quite hard to fake.

Why say this unprompted? Did you figure out what I was after?

@Jamie, was this a scumslip?
