Mhmm I recall the games you are speaking about. I signed up to Holy Roman mafia under the impression that trolling was not only acceptable, it was encouraged. Real life got in the way of TL LVI. Unfortunate that that is the impression you have of me, as I think my other games speak far better of my play. You can expect better this game. Right now, I like what Kitaman is saying. He is the person I am leaning towards electing party leader. Emphasis on 'towniness' over everything else as it is all that matters for these missions, not how useful a player is. If not him, then Keirathi. Looks exactly the same as he did in Who's Line Is It Anyway. | ||

Talking about who is townie makes it much easier for scum to blend in, which then makes it much harder for town to choose the right people for their teams. Yes, there may be multiple factions in this game. Still, if we force scum to scumhunt they are more likely to trip as if they can just give their townreads out. So, no, I disagree that this game revolves around townhunting. We find out who is townie by scumhunting, not by townhunting. The issue with forcing people to scumhunt is we have no real way of checking if they're right other than sending the scummy people on a mission and watching it fail, which is not optimal. Apparently, this game is going to play much like the Resistance games - find townies. Eventually, the scum will be forced to disagree with the selected team if it contains no scum, which is where they'll have to display scummy logic to back up their disagreement and that's where we catch them. | ||

I'm not sure if the party is going to be revealed or not the day after but I don't see any way for us to be sure if the party leader is going to respect his word concerning his choice for the party members. I would like to get some answers from the hosts before speculating too much on his though. Party revealed or not, there is no way any of us can know that the person we are picking is going to stick to their word and select the team they indicate. The best you can do is put your vote on someone whom you find most likely to do as they say, and who will be transparent about why they are taking the people they are taking. | ||

But I think it could be a valid strategy to not reveal the other party members before the resolution of the event. Town cannnot know for sure who you are going to pick anyway and you don't give extra info to the mafia. What do you think ? I want to have a town player leading this as well. I'd like that person to be transparent and give that information to the rest of us about who is going on the mission with him. It will help me better gauge what the leader is thinking (and if he is indeed town), plus the reactions other players have to the selected party will also assist me in making reads. On November 21 2012 21:21 syllogism wrote: Adam so far you haven't expressed a very few opinions or said anything otherwise helpful. You say Keirathi might be your number two choice for the party leader. Do you have confidence in his ability to choose 3 townies today? You also assert that there is no way of checking if mafia reads are right other than sending them on a mission; is this your honest assessment of how you expect the game to work? I have moderate confidence in his ability to choose three townies today, if he's town. In Who's Line Is It Anyway, he displayed a decent ability to understand logic, listen to reason and vote accordingly. I get the same feel from him here that I got on entering that game, so until he gives me a reason to think otherwise, Ill trust him again. Maybe this would not make him the best team leader, but I would have no issue with him being a part of the team that goes. In regards to my comments on the setup, I had only briefly read over the OP, saw it was predominately leader-select setup and assumed that this would play out similar to Resistance. From that, I overlooked that night actions will provide us with decent flip information, as clarity has already pointed out to me. So to directly answer your question, at the time that was my honest assessment of how the game would play out, but I was wrong, and will adjust accordingly. | ||

The only reason I see this as the case is that he commonly gets lazy and stops caring or posting as mafia. However, that's simply due to personal choice. How many people here other than maybe syllo are confidant they can identify a scum sandro when he remains active? Having played with him in pypi (an election game), I know he is quite capable of fooling most people when there is something he wants. I'm quite puzzled by the fact that marv hasn't run for election. As being one of the most active players recently, I think he would be fairly confident at being able to gain support for himself. As town, I know I want to be the leader because that is the only way to directly increase our chances of success. marv however appears to want to avoid the spotlight and participate in an advising role or at least gauge the support he has. Could you explain this decision? Work time. I'll try to start identifying some town players when I get back if I'm confident enough. Why are you trying to ward people away from voting for sandroba? You are fear mongering that he 'might' be turning over a new-leaf as scum and as such, shouldn't vote for him on that basis. So far, all that you've done to indicate that you think sandroba is scum is to colour his name in red (along with syllo and marv) with no other explanation. Care to go into detail about why you think he is scum? | ||

I am trying to grasp if he is taking this game seriously when he delivers a list of 'reads' with as lousy reasoning as he did. I've seen him play well as both scum and town, and this doesn't look similar to either. | ||

I like that he's trying to figure out the mafia's strategy, even if I do consider that futile. I consider it more likely from a townie, rather than mafia faking it. | ||

You say that you are not willing to call them scum yet, then what is the deal with this post: link I am perplexed by this post.

This alone doesn't kill anyone of course, but his posts seem to me like just someone trying to fake a contribution. His reasoning for voting sandroba is just... contrived: Like, how does he like that he's not entirely confident in how sandroba is posting? The guy gives more arguments to who he wants to not vote rather to the guy he's voting. It feels like he is just voting for syllo due to some other agenda rather than his own. He says he's not gonna vote for someone claiming to have it "all figured out" as a pretext of not voting for sand, which firstly doesn't make sense to me, and secondly, if anyone has given me an impression to have it all figured out, it's syllo. Syllo seems extremely confident in his shallow "scum might attempt to sabotage my party" argument and to me it feels a bit unnatural. (syllo's post I'm referring might have been made later than Adam's, I'm lazy to check this out.) But the main point is: Why doesn't Adam comment on the person he's voting, rather on the person he's NOT voting, especially when asked by phagga on his vote on sylla? This makes 0 sense to me from a town perspective. His next post on kita seems to me like the definition of scum trying to blend in: New scum, that is. I mean, isn't it kind of obvious the point of the campaign was to.. make his case on why he's a better candidate? He's pretty much echoing suspicion from hapa, only to go ahead and disappear. Pretty much fits the bill of a lurking scum. Your case is just bad. I am not new, I have been part of this community for over a year - I took a couple months off to sort out some personal issues. I always have a lower post count then most, due to time zone conflicts and a seething hatred of people posting complete garbage in the thread, forcing me to read 15-30 page filters later in the game. The first quote of mine you've highlighted is not why i'm voting for sandroba, as you've titled it, its why im voting for syllogism. You don't seem to fully understand what it is i'm saying, as you cant seem to figure out if im voting for sandroba or syllo. I AM happy that syllo seems to be having an issue discerning solid reads because I am having that issue also, it shows that he has a similar mindset to mine and as a result, probably the same alignment. 'Why doesnt Adam comment on the person hes voting for, rather than the person hes not voting for'. I havent mentioned sandroba bar this one comment 'I agree that it looks like sandroba is phoning it in', a comment syllo made and I agree with, hence partly why he is getting my vote. In regards to my post to kita, I think it stands fine as it is. I am trying to figure out what the hell he is doing, because he claims to want to be taken seriously, but then posts a page of 'joke' reads and then campaigns as if they're perfectly acceptable. I am trying to ascertain if he is just goofing around, and I should ignore him, or if hes intentionally posting more garbage into this thread, something I think we can do without. Go back, reread the entire exchange, and try to word your case so that it actually makes sense so I can try to understand exactly what you are saying. | ||

I found the part I emphasized pretty clear though. Someone asked why you were voting for syllogism. Then you make an explanation based on other people, whilst saying nothing about syllogism. At least this was what I understood. I now see that I just misinterpreted your post. Since I don't know what "phoning it in" means, I assumed that was something good, because later you said "he" (i.e sandroba) seems to be geuinely interested in figuring things out. Anyways, now that you have manifested yourself, do you agree with the sandroba wagon? I said earlier that I feel people would correctly identify him as scum, but when I said that I meant people who have actually played with him, not newer players who have never seen him play. For all intents and purposes, everyone on that wagon should be considered town, at least for now. I don't get why syllo's success makes sand scum. So, @Syllogism, do you think sandroba's play is him being scum? He started out pretty good imo, but his absence here is not cool at all. Phone it in Each one of those dot points was aimed at syllo, not sandroba, except the first one, because I was agreeing with syllogisms' view of sandroba - so the 'he' was syllogism. Anyway, moving on. I have no issue lynching Sandroba. I've played with sandroba 3-4 times now, moreso when hes scum then when hes town. Looks like his usual 'don't-give-a-shit' scum game. ##vote sandroba | ||

It's possible one of the other two is mafia but couldnt sway the mission to failure, especially with frog (pretty sure dieno said he had a bonus in 600AD) Having to get two mafia elected onto a team of four to cause a failure hardly seems fair from a balance perspective considering the probable demographic that's being worked with (ie 3x as many town on average). | ||

Let's imagine that scum syllo knows that he has a low negative modifier factor for the events. What is preventing him from looking town enough to get elected and then pick up 3 towns in his party. It should be easy enough for scum syllo not to bring any 3P along In this way, he can get a lot of town credit ^^ One way or another, syllogism just picked a winning team. I don't see a conspiracy here, as long as he keeps doing what hes doing, he'll keep getting my vote to keep picking his team. | ||

My point was made to show Clarity that we shouldn't consider syllo as totally confirmed yet. Of course, he is more likely to be town than anything else but not 100% confirmed imho. I didn't totally think at all the implications of my point. No one is confirmed town until they're dead. There is just balance of probability. Right now I choose to believe that syllo and his team are probably town. | ||

Apart from that, Bio's done nothing to make me think him town. goodkarma's posts seem really constructed and to me he feels really detached, despite his long posts. But he does have quite a bit of content. Anyone have any thoughts on him? Djo, I'll have to re-read your case to see if there's any merit in it, I've been feeling TheChronicler as town for most of the game. I don't really recall too many of goodkarma's posts thus far..

I don't find anything off about Phagga's play to support your theory though.

What makes you have this read? Yeah, my 'don't-give-a-shit' sandroba comment had nothing to do with his level of activity, as I don't consider that to be the issue. What it comes down to is his drive and attitude when he is here. In this game, he says clarity 'smells funny', later saying that he had him as scum - yet he backs off this read as soon as his reasoning is questioned on the matter, moving him back to 'torn' or undecided. He does similar in the last game that I played with him when he rolled scum: Wiggles Mini Mafia II - sandroba filter He attacks pandain with some shoddy reasoning - 'bad thread entry - didn't further discussion' and Palmar got up in his face. He then backs down from this read with the reasoning of 'pandains' comments on the watcher made him reconsider'. Now compare that to his town play in looney lynching mafia. He sees da0ud enter the thread, finds it suspicious, questions him, decides he is still an enigma, questions him again, declares he wants da0ud to progress to further rounds of the lynch mechanic. Sandroba has conviction when he is town, he wants to figure you out if he cant initially, so he presses with questions. I don't see that from him this game. | ||

I'm much more null on him than you are - can you give me the run-down about why he's so townie? I find him townie because of his attitude towards the game and its what was lacking in sandroba's play. He sees something he considers strange, so he questions the person on it to try and gauge what the persons motives are, and hopefully gain some insight into their alignment. Some examples: link1 link2 link3 I find scum rarely do this, as they would rather just pounce on the person without actually giving them a reason to explain their behaviour, just in case the person has a reason for what they're doing, then the scum has to go find someone else to fabricate a case on. This is fake-able as scum, yes, but giving people a chance to explain themselves makes your job much harder. | ||

Don't be afraid to fully share your thoughts. If Toad was off the cards for tomorrow, my next scum candidate would be Z-Boson.

He spends a ton of time arguing with cave fellow for no reason at all, the guy is and has been a lost cause since he began posting. He's not nearly as active and as involved as his other games. He's not willing to run for party. I've reread his filter and there is nooooo way you can get a town read on marv that fast, with that kind of bad reasoning. Someone else had a town fast, with zero reasoning. Especially SNB, who's played with him a ton of times. SnB's filter though seems pretty much like his town filter from last game, in terms of low activity and post coutn, but I haven't played with him much. Marv, do you have any meta read on him? The entire proof, his first paragraph: is that no one could have a strong town read on marv. Then he goes on to talk about Marv. Nothing in this paragraph is even about S&B and why he is likely scum. In the second paragraph "SnB's filter though seems pretty much like his town filter from last game", so Z-BosoN has a meta town read on S&B, yet here this case is anyway, pinning him as scum with no logical reasons to support this suspicion. It feels fabricated and fake, trying to create something out of nothing. The rest of his filter consists of pushing sandroba's candidacy on the basis of 'its easy to tell his town play and scum play apart', yet says multiple times he is unfamiliar with sandrobas' meta. Some more of his posts just read as summaries of what is already happening in the game: link link2 This is who I would lynch if Toad was not an option. | ||

Yet SnB comes guns-all-blazing saying marv is town. My logical reason for finding him scum is: "how is SnB so confident that marv is town, when there is nothing from his play to support this?". I really can´t see why you view this as "illogical". But I kinda backtracked later in the post because I´ve played once with him being town, and once with him being scum, and to me his meta says a different story than what I was suggesting. Ergo, ask marv, who´s played a ton with him. Also, @marv, is there any game where he was town and pinned you as scum? I´m assuming no, because I don´t believe he can accurately judge your alignment, especially that early in the game. Correct me if I´m wrong. I backed off him because marv confirmed that he is in fact playing with his meta read, and he wouldn´t lie about that either as scum or as town. You say some of my day one posts are just summaries of what is happening in the game, whilst neglecting my entire gameplay ever since that point. I have some "summary" posts, and I have some posts actually trying to figure shit out. This point is insanely weak imo. You, for instance, just narrated my push on sandroba, without specifying why it makes me scum. Your case boils down to: -I cant believe that S&B has a town read on marv. -I find S&B's play this game to look like his town game. Therefore, scum. You cant see why that is illogical? There is literally nothing in your case that even comes close to showing why S&B is scum or has any scum motivation at all. He lurked a bit, threw out a single town read and you're trying to hang him for it. Yes, I do say that some of your posts are summaries and neglect the rest. I am not going to quote every single one of your posts, only the posts that I take an issue with for being padded. The last sentence is deflecting, but ill indulge you. Your repeated campaigning for sandroba to be elected on the basis of him having an easy meta to read, while continually postulating that you have no idea about his meta is completely ass-backwards. If this was one of your main reasons for electing someone as the party leader, why do you claim to not know what you're talking about? It just makes no damn sense from a town perspective, but I can think of one from a scum perspective - an 'out' if sandroba ever flips scum, you can just claim ignorance. | ||

I admit I was on the fence about you until marv flipped, but with that knowledge, I happily made you yellow (most probably town) in my spreadsheet. | ||

In its place I provide a mafia (the game) favorite, a scum suspect shortlist: 1) Iamp - I have a good "gut feel" about this guy I guess you could say. But he still has yet to contribute anything meaningful, which earns him a spot here. Would be willing to give him more time to see if his roleclaim checks out. 2) VE - Shoot him dead. I actually think he might be more likely to be town than scum given his enthusiasm for playing scum. But if an elimination-based approach for finding scum is to work, he has to go. He has not posted enough to make a meaningful read... 3) phagga - Need to reread his filter at some point (but not something I'm focusing on today). He has been pro-town in his contributions, but I can't help but feel he is also "playing it safe" and doing what he can to fly under the radar... 4) Adam - lurker who might need to be shot too. 5) Kita - I'm inclined to believe Marv's read of 3rd party 6) Cave - This guy won't be figured out without getting vigi killed. Shoot first, ask questions later... 7) Z-boson - From my experience with him, he likes to play pretty safe as scum, whereas as town he is rather reckless to the point of being pretty easy to mislynch. He definitely is making his own reads and contributing to thread, but all his reads I would call "safe" ones in that he is targeting almost exclusively lurkers... Null read atm, even after looking into filter. 8) Prox - Tbh I don't know what to do with him. Syllo's input is definitely appreciated, but I don't see him as a strong scum read (closer to null...). 9) Strong - I had a strong scum read based both off meta and on filter. However, with meta differences explained, I'm inclined to give him more of a chance to establish himself as town before coming to conclusions. 10) Toad - Scum 11) Hopeless (maybe) - clearly anti-town, but I'm still not convinced that he's scum. Would even go so far as to say slight town read... goodkarma, your suspect 'short list' is actually quite long and rather unfocused. It boils down to a list of null reads besides the confirmed scum and advocating patience. I'm curious, risk.nuke is surprisingly missing from your list. Does this mean you have some kind of solid read on him? Enlighten me as to what that is please. | ||

Compared to his scum play in WLIIA, there is a night-and-day difference. In WLIIA, he is cold, almost tense in how he posts. In this game, if he were any more laid-back, he would be horizontal. If the case against S&B amounts to: he has a low post-count and his ability is 'weird', then that's a shit case. Activity is never indicative of alignment and we're in a closed setup GreYMisT game, so every role is going to be a little bit weird. If you honestly believe him to be scum, construct a legitimate case detailing why, otherwise, there are better people to be lynching/vigging, because right now I don't see it. | ||

Acro is probably the 'assassin' hes claiming to be afraid of, what does a survivor need a 1-shot role+alignment check for?

However given Syllo's 450 damage claim, there's probably another mafia running about, and it could very well be Z-Bo/austin. Austin's recent "I'm thinking about lynching the 3rd party" post is kinda sketchy. His other reasons (his only other reason) was "S&B gave a town read on marv". If someone lurking then giving a town read on marv was grounds for a vig shot in his mind, he should have been up in BioSC's ass as well, as he did the exact same thing.

But with risk.nuke dead and us still not seeing lavos, I went back to my first case and I still stand by it, and have been pursuing it. I was mostly content to let things just roll along with risk.nuke, because as I've previously stated, I had no idea as to his alignment as he looks the same to me every game, lurky, snide comments, next-to-no scum hunting. I was hoping for him to die, lavos to spawn and just admit that I was wrong on austin and move on. I've been capable of some shitty tunnels in the past, and I was starting to get that sinking feeling again since my case seemed to be getting next to zero traction. But no, risk is dead, we're still here, so I go back to thinking austin/Zboson is scum. Probably not worth much, but I'm a terrible scum player, Id have chucked in the towel right around the time Toadesstern got lynched. | ||

There can't be more than 1 scum left (balance wise I can't see a seven man scum team with 25 people at least one of whom is 3p). The 75 damage comes from the item given to the leader of a successful party. Austin feels wrong. Gut feeling here but there we go. Syllo: how many roleclaims were in Risk's qt? I'm curious that SnB didn't fuck over GK since he knew GK's name. ## Vote Austin ## Epoch antiquity By Austin feels wrong, do you mean he feels 'wrong' as in scum? Or do you mean this lynch feels wrong? | ||

What I find telling is that Phagga seems to be trying to decide if hes going to vote either Syllo or Kita. If they're both town, which seems most probable at this point, then why would a scum Phagga hear each one out, vote for Kita first, then switch to Syllo after Kita goes AWOL and doesn't answer his questions. That seems like a lot of unnecessary effort to offload your vote because your scum candidate (sandroba) bombed. In contrast, Z-BosoN was pushing Sandroba's candidacy with some flimsy reasoning (which I've already touched on previously). He didn't even vote sandroba until an hour before the deadline, that strikes me as supremely odd for someone that apparently never considered anyone else for the entirety of D1 (at least in the thread). I reaffirm, Phagga is town. Austinmcc is scum. I'm going to bed now, I'd really like to wake up to us squaring off with Lavos. | ||

I'm not going to say I told you so, because that's incredibly non-helpful. What I am going to do is say that today you either lynch me or austin. No one else. Its that simple. Either kill the scum in front of you, or hang me out of this friggen game. PLEASE. ##Vote: austinmcc | ||

Add 100 from Hapa's flamethrower, 75 each from Syllo and Oats, GK's damage, Hopeless damage. Unless he plans to come and spew death over the entire town, his death will be swift. I'm predicting dead after 3 cycles. | ||

Good information for healers to have, only drawback I can see is if a 3rd party wants to mess with us and snipe our low HP'ers. | ||

I also don't care what Acro's win condition is at this point, I said earlier, I have no beef with 3rd party. What I see now is someone under suspicion trying to sway the town into voting a 3rd party because there's no more easy lynches. | ||

So what happens if all mafia are dead, we summon lavos, and he somehow wipes us? Nobody wins? Everyone loses but lavos? Grey has spent a lot of time crafting this game and hosting it, and I don't think that he'd leave this gaping hole in the setup where nobody wins. You've got no idea if Acro is the gap-filler. A third party that's pro-lavos. Working to summon lavos, but then against town once that happens. You may not have a beef with 3rd party now, but if that third party has a win condition that is actively anti-town, you darn well better have a beef with 3rd party. I will take issue with Acro only when his actions give me a reason to. My objective, as you've pointed out, is to kill scum, not 3rd party. | ||

SO... You cant seriously dump that on him, everyone followed him without so much as a peep. That makes all of us just as complicit in what happened. Look, no one listened last night when I said phagga was town, even when I explained why it was unlikely. Don't take the cowardly way out here and kill Acro. Go back, read everything against Z-bosoN, god read his day 1, its a MESS. Now look at Austin trying to swing this lynch onto a 3rd party. After all that, come back and honestly tell me that you don't think hes the right lynch for today. | ||

Syllogism Dieno Toad Toad Wrathed Austin for 200 damage Clarity Iamperfection austinmcc austinmcc phagga The last two were incredibly frustrating because I had to submit my night action and then go to bed before the lynch. Then the switch onto Phagga happened, making my austinmcc prediction wrong AND screwing up my next cycles prediction because he was already dead.

So if I had died on N1, you would have gotten a bullet for N2? So are you saying you submitted Phagga last night even though Phagga was already dead? The way it works is I submit on day 1, my pick to die from the beginning of N1, all the way through til the end of N2. This does not include the D1 lynch, as that resolves at the 47th hour of the day, and the night actions at the 48th. Then on the next cycle, I lose my predictive power and gain a shot that has to be spent, so I can resume predicting again. Why austin didn't counterattack me is beyond me. I was kind of expecting it regardless of his alignment. I took 100 damage and was roleblocked last night. | ||

If multiple people hit me in the same cycle, it's split amongst them.
Cycle 6 I shielded Syllo. Didn't know everyone's health values, dienosaur was dead before the end of cycle, and out of the people that were being treated as confirmed town, syllo seemed the strongest player to me. Cycle 7 I didn't do anything. Considered counterattacking Adam, making sure he was responsible for the damage on me like he claimed, but nobody counterclaimed the damage. Adam said he wasn't going to keep shooting me, so I figured best not to hit him. One reason I prefer cycles where a lot of people have items/abilities/something waiting for them is that those are the cycles that are useful. I guess I can use End of Time to check a player's HP or two, make sure they're not lying, but otherwise healing/shielding sounds way more useful than an HP check. Especially given that now it's kind of telegraphed. This is after it could have happened, thus there is no way you could have expected it to happen. You might have found it weird after the fact, but you couldn't have known beforehand that austin was capable of counterattacking unless you are scum. Therefore this is you making a mistake when fabricating what you should have thought at the time, ergo scum. Additionally, the night actions make no sense. N1 - N6 are okay. N7: why guess Iamp when Clarity just took a shitload of damage and you guessed him the night before, while Iamp took 0 damage? N8: austinmcc was nowhere in the picture yet. Why pick austin? N9: if you picked austin on N9 and he died in D10, then you got it right, didn't you? N10: phagga died at the end of D9, why on EARTH would you guess phagga on N10? It is completely senseless. Oh, and I didn't find this. Syllo gets full credit for wondering how weirdly illogical your night guesses were. I just assumed you could shoot and guess on the same night, and you hadn't claimed your N10 action. Thanks for explaining and claiming scum not thinking his claim through. You get to join the illustrious company of risk, austin and SnB. Sigh. I expected the counterattack to come after he said he could do it in later cycles. I switched from clarity to iamperfection because promethelax said he was going to seed/roleblock protect him, making it unlikely that he was going to die. I switched to austin because id been bloody harping on him for something close to 5 cycles, I was hoping someone would eventually see the logic in my posts after I bashed everyone over the head with it enough, yet the only person that listened was hopeless, you all had to go and hang phagga first. Whatever, this game is over, I did my bit, I brought down austin. Kill lavos, wrap this crap up. | ||

My guess order was: 1) Syllogism 2) Dieno 3) Toadesstern (this one was valid until the end of N4, when we lynched him) so this was the correct guess. 4) I submitted to Greymist - If toad survives this lynch, then predict toad. If toad dies, shoot Zboson. I shot Zboson on N4, not night 5, go back and reread it, I claim it at the time, right after the day post. 5) Clarity 6) Iamperfection 7) austin 8) austin 9) phagga Does that make a little more sense now? | ||

Read my filter, I wasn't entirely sold on the risk.nuke lynch, heck I stayed up til the middle of the night waiting to hear him out, hoping that he might prove me wrong and be useful. To be honest, I coloured CaveJohnson in blue in my spreadsheet (the colour of 'this person should be ignored) on about day 2 and just completely ignored his existence. Remember, i'm having to predict stuff a cycle in advance, its hard to gauge what town sentiment will be 48 hours after that point, especially since I don't get to see the current days lynch before my guess for the next cycle. | ||

cycle 5 also cycle 5 I give up trying to explain this. This role has literally done my head in all game and probably needs to be re-tuned somewhat if its going to be used in future games.

Not taking anything away from syllo, he was very right about sandroba, but I acknowledge you being on it and was part of the reason I made you as town so early on.
