Mafia 88: Murder at the Meadery - GAME THREAD

[sweetandcool]

Shooting Bofa also ruined my perfect record with shot in forum mafia.

Poor bun bun.

Well if it makes you feel better I still trust you with a gun <3

[sweetandcool]

This is quite amusing because I think vig shots for the last three times were pretty amusing.

1. Bunny shooting an not counter claimed PR.
2. ND stealing a repair kit from Vecna (which Vecna was using to repair an axe), repairing an axe, and then axing Vecna for not claiming to be stolen from.
3. Damo killing Food with bees, when Food had just given him the bees.

Let's get this started early

Was sweetandcool your top scum read for most of D1?

I didn't have any strong scumreads D1. Sweet was a joke vote.

[ghug]

OK I'm basically caught up.

Since Ghug has claimed, I will too.

I was Roleblocked.

Well, now suspecting ghug and Jamie would be pretty questionable.

[ghug]

Will: I think there is a decent chance Will is scum. Bona has correctly pointed out that Will's content mostly lacks substance. My discussion with him also indicated that Will's state of mind was one of disinterest in solving the game, which is less likely to come from Town.

This feels like it makes sweet town. It feels thoughtful and it builds on a narrative already in the thread. Doing that really puts JustWill at risk at this time. Doesn't look like bussing godfather.

Here are the Towns so far:
Balki
Jamiet
Bona
Sweet

Can you go back and explain Bona?

[ghug]

OK I'm basically caught up.

Since Ghug has claimed, I will too.

I was Roleblocked.

This confirms to me that you are definitely on the same team.

And since ghug likes to play Mafia in such a predictable way, this means more likely Town.

Hmph, I don't like it.

What a hurtful thing to say about me.

I also don't really understand your conclusion. Mafia roleblocks town, brain jails mafia is pretty plausible, no?

[ghug]

I think it quite likely at least 2 remaining scum (if not all 3) were off the Just wagon so that is a pool of 7 with Sparta Balki and food being the most suspicious.

##VOTE damo

[ghug]

From what I can see Day 1, these folks are very likely all Town. That's a lot of people.

The ghug and worcej votes in the last 5 minutes feel a little too late. If a person were JustWill's partner in those minutes, I see it about 50/50 that they jump on the bus or try to steer away from JustWIll. It just appears, based on my read, that a Will scum partner wouldn't have felt super secure that they'd be able to save JustWill at that point, so I don't want to put ghug or worcej in the town core.

If this is just a list of most of the Will voters, it's almost certainly wrong.

Did you explain how Jamie made your list without voting for Just?

Yeah, I did earlier. It's based on JustWill's treatment of him early in Day 1. Will makes a very unsupported snaptown read on Jamiet. It is the kind of thing that I think scum do because they know they are not wrong. It doesn't seem like something that someone does when they are pretending to be a real townie, and they know the person they are pointing to is not Town. When a scumbucket is explaining why a partner looks towny, early in a game, they are much more likely to have better reasoning.

I heavily endorse this line of thinking and think it should be used more.

GM Note:
Suddenly, a swarm of bees comes out of nowhere and sting someone to death!

"No you fool! Not the bees! They're MY BEES!"

Foodcoats has died! He was the Beekeeper!

Oof

Sorry Food. Not my finest hour!

##VOTE damo harder

[ghug]

I stung him to death.

This question and answer just makes me laugh. I'm sorry.

I was so happy we had a beekeeper in this game, and I am sad that he is gone, but I feel like sonnets will be written about this, and so it's okay.

Ask and ye shall receive:

In fields where honeyed treasures sweetly lay,
A beekeeper, Foodcoats, reigned with great care,
His bees, a buzzing symphony each day,
Their golden nectar filled the morning air.

One fateful day, a friend in need did call,
To borrow bees for pollination's hand,
Foodcoats obliged, though feared his bees might fall,
Unwittingly, he sealed his fatal strand.

For when the bees returned to their own hive,
They bore a scent, a foreign, strange perfume,
Confusion struck, they stung their lord alive,
In agony, he met his dreadful doom.

Oh, Foodcoats, noble keeper of the bees,
Your epic tale shall echo through the trees.

This guy hates feet.

[ghug]

Damo,

Why not give your target a chance to claim a role?

Had I done that and food claimed Beekeeper I would obviously have stung someone else but then food would be the N2 kill so not that different.

Stop

[ghug]

Holy shit, stop it now.

##VOTE Bunny
##END

no...you read....you play to win...

We read it already. You're just being annoying.

[ghug]

REALLY?

What do you remember the last time I was given a gun? The time before? Before?

I recall last time you had two shots and hit scum and then town. And you were very comfortable roleplaying not the shooter while essentially polling for who to shoot.

The first shot just shot. I was planning on it the whole time and trying to give him rope to lead us to other scum. Also didn't call the shot.

The second I let myself get talked into it by ghug. It was really dumb; I didn't just shoot town, I shot non-CC'd PR...so your "surprising answer" would be "what? you'd really call your shot?! And you'd care if they claimed?!"

And yes...rollplayed as not the shooter. It was a claimable role which has its own value unlike this game.

That was great.

[BunnyGo]

Holy shit, stop it now.

And confirming town reads with it.

Damo,

It’s pretty different.

Do you see why it’s pretty different?

[sweetandcool]

So ghug, please explain why you are voting damo. Are you where I am at, or do you simply think it highly likely he is Mafia?

What are the chances he is Town, made this mistake, and then topped it all off by claiming the kill?

[Balki Bartokomous]

From what I can see Day 1, these folks are very likely all Town. That's a lot of people.

No. It’s a list of people who look Town based on a re-read of Day 1 with JustWill’s role in mind. Some of the reads are based on their votes and the timing of the votes, but not the first two (Jamiet and Bona). I think you read the reasoning on Jamiet. The reasoning on Bona is just the relentless pressure back and forth, along with discrediting back and forth. It doesn’t look at all like bussing that I’ve ever seen, especially on Day 1 before either had much pressure at all.
