Hi everyone! Excited to be here.

Like I said in the signup thread, probably will be making infrequent posts and taking it easy.

I won't be doing hypocop, because without role reveals, we get the drawbacks (it can tell the mafia who isn't the cop) without much of the benefits. I don't actually know whether roles are revealed upon death, but I'm assuming they are not.

Do we know if this game is all vanilla / only a few power roles / mostly power roles? If it was mentioned somewhere, I forgot. I guess we know it's not the first because of the popularity role mechanic.

Poor kyeugh btw. I like kyeugh! You rock!

I think this is sensible. I was kinda bemused when everyone started hypocopping all over the place in Cats (2019) Mafia - it made it a lot easier than it needed to be for us to work out who the cop was.

I think this quote suggests there is a reasonably high PR density:

Lots of the snoms in this city have special skills to use that could come in handy for stopping the zoruas... or stopping the town :0

It's detrimental without role reveals, yeah. I would have brought it up in Cats, but I was mafia and it was helping us rule out people as the cop, hehe.

Benefits of cop cover can be:
- if the cop is nightkilled before they claim, you know what their checks were (this is not applicable without role reveals)
- if someone else is nightkilled, you can assume their hypo-checks are town, because mafia probably wouldn't attempt to kill someone they know is not the cop (this is more true in games with fewer power roles, and probably is not helpful here)

Drawbacks of cop cover can be:
- if someone checks mafia, the mafia know they aren't the cop (this is entirely applicable here)

now I wonder if someone's role made sande+SJ crossed out in the pinglist, or if that means anything

Good spot! The thing my mind immediately jumps to is silencing, but I suppose there isn't really any way to confirm that.

On another topic, does anybody know when the day ends?
 
i will also ideally be more laid back than i have previously been, due to my cats trauma. but also it's me so i'll probably say that and then proceed to continue obsessively posting,

Yeah, a role that prohibits its target from posting during the day. Usually scum-aligned. But now I think about more carefully, giving the mafia the capability to silence two people per night in a thirteen-person game is... really kind of overpowered.

@sanderidge @Superjolt If you're able to, it would be really helpful if you could tell us whether you've received any indication that you've been targeted by a role!
