Hee hee hee. You said "jack".

Here is what's on the mafiascum.net for the PGO:
Play Advice

The ideal play for a PGO is to get targeted by the Mafia, while not being targeted by any Town power roles. However, safer play is to claim directly -- this keeps other Town power roles safe, but also ensures the Mafia will not target you. Note that by claiming, you are opening yourself up to potentially being policy lynched at some point during the game.
A very risky strategy is to hint at a power role, causing the scum totarget you, and, as a 1 for 1 trade with scum is in the town's favor, you will have helped the town..

Here is Robb's claim in post 1338

Either Robb really is a PGO and has towns best interest in mind, or he read the PGO on the mafiascum.net and used that to make his claim. The parts that stood out were his reason #2 and the mentioning of policy lynch. It seems as if he took the play advice and made his claim with it. I realize this is only my fourth game, but I have never heard anyone mention a policy lynch before or read about it in another game I have looked at (I have not looked at all of the past games).

Robb's claim only came after Hijack hinted he knew what happened with TB and it makes it seem as if Robb was covering himself in hopes of buying some time before he is lynched. I think a more town idea would have been to do the risky play listed in the advice and hint at a power role that would make the scum come after him and die when they did. Now we have to waste a lynch at some point and we're not even sure if it will show a flip on him.

@Hijack, were you using your role on TB or Robb when TB was killed?

LAL is also a policy lynch.

What is your impression of Robb and his claim?

I believe JMich is intimating I should be lynched for telling a joke.

I'm pretty sure he's sick, however. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw JMich pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Nope. I'm advocating that there's a reason for LAL. Notice the difference between saying "Of course I know what flub is thinking, I'm a seer" and "Did you hear about the guy that got all his left side cut off? He's all right now".

Would love to know more about this. Who is the girl who saw me, and what was I doing before passing out? Or are you talking about the player and not the character?


So far, it seems plausible. Hopefully, we may be able to get more info on him later on.

So, what are your other (secondary?) reasons for claiming?


With the exception of the last one, do you think that all the reasons you list make it equally likely that a townie with an investigative role would choose to pay someone a visit?


You took part in almost all GOG froum mafia games, and have probably played many more outside this forum. Before you claimed, flub had already stated this was a Role Madness Game.

With all the above in mind, I'm having a bit of trouble accepting that you were unable to control any temptations your role presented.
So, help me understand it - what exactly was the temptation? To shoot someone down? Or, since you consider yourself a potential target every night, that you didn't want to end up dead before you got to use your power at least once? Something else?


Do you mean that no one went for a NK or that they were role-blocked?


I asked this question here; Robbeasy posted four times since then, but has yet to address the question, or dedoporno's one.


Do you mean that perhaps that rope was part of a trap mechanism and that TwilightBard triggered it, and that's how he ended up with a piece of rope tied to his leg?

I find it too hard to find no NK with 18 players. Odds for doctoring the NK target or blocking the performer seem way too thin. Especially given that we are very likely to have more than one enemy faction. All NKs prevented? Yeah, right. That's why I asked Robbeasy if he was able to stand guard on N0.

I'm putting my money on NK mod ban on N0, but green light for other actions (investigations of all sorts and such).

Why did you choose Twilight to visit?

@Robb - What was your plan to play your role? Would you have claimed if Hijack had not hinting about knowing about the visit?

Honestly, no but I am thinking about it now that you mentioned it. I was more on the lines of Robb being used to rope and knots because he would have to use it in everyday life to survive in the outskirts alone. IE catch food and protect live stock with traps (I was thinking about the Mountain Men type of shows and what they use to get survive on their own). I was thinking before your post that the rope was just used to drag Twilight back into town because 1. a body would not fit on a motorcycle /4 wheeler (maybe one big enough depending size) and / or 2. He wanted to make a point of showing others what will happen when they step on his land so dragging him was a sign of what would happen to others if they came after him (almost like a shock value message).

Vote: Vitek for mod-lurking.

Vote Krypsyn for no good reason :-P

*waves* Hi Krypsyn!

Bold is my doing. Do you mean Dedo?

Hmm, I am unsure how to take this one. I don't see you as someone who does not pay attention and would obviously know Darko is dead. You could be attempting to make a joke, but I don't see that. I can say I don't like it if it was a joke as it feels off. It seems you are not truly a cop, but something else imitating a cop? I mean why post that question?
