I agree with Mas regarding VerrKol, Olsi's logic may not have been the most sound (although Luv's power is quite weak and detrimental for town, and I think he should refrain from using it until later in the game as is typical of townie roleblockers) (also Polantaris did make it sound like it lasted multiple turns, because now we know it does) but jumping on Olsi because of his flawed logic is even less logically sound. Wow that sentence was awful, oh well.
[vote] [MENTION=8732]VerrKol[/MENTION];, those couple of posts were just incredibly scummy. I can't really explain why, if anything I'd have to say it's the tone of the posts. Also what Holypie nonsense last game? I see no relationship between that scenario and this one. That one was a claimed mafioso calling out the doctor BY NAME. It ended up being a lucky guess, but my reasoning at that point was full disclosure so the town knows the same information that the mafia (presumably) knew, since I had been dropping a few hints and I thought faon had picked up on them, which considering his skill at mafia is a fair assumption. This is a completely different situation, so there's really no need to "overreact for clarity".
Regarding Luv's power, I think it kind of sucks for the town because if he accidentally hits a townie, they're kind of boned based on RNG. If he manages to find a mafioso, there's no guarantee that they'll actually be blocked. This actually makes it seem more likely that there is another proper roleblocker. As for Luv's alignment, I can't really say but I'd think that the two roleblockers would be on opposite teams.
Also guys, I'm pretty sure types are completely irrelevant to mechanics. This is starting to sound like the name analysis from Two Islands or the apple types theories of Bad Apple. It would be incredibly difficult to implement, make things a lot more confusing to the players, and not really add anything but needless complexity.
[MENTION=6823]Polantaris[/MENTION]; it's strange to me that you got a PM in the middle of the night. Usually result PMs are sent at the very end of the night so that all of the ability interactions can be sorted out. It also seems strange to me that Luv didn't know the actual effects of his powers. It looks like he legitimately thought he was a regular roleblocker.
[MENTION=7446]Words[/MENTION]; congratulating the doctor after a successful save is a common mafia tactic in order to appear more pro-town. It obviously doesn't guarantee that they're mafia, but it is another point in that direction.
The Cakes and Hypermug thing that's going on doesn't really mean anything. Just because someone was the target of a role forcer doesn't mean that they're town OR mafia.
