MAFIA 64 - The Z Files - Game Thread [HIDDEN]

[Maniac]

Here goes, good luck everyone on my team. This could be a great game or be all over in a few days.

I was wondering if we should discuss the cards we have discarded? Does that help is narrow down the Mafia and Alien roles? I know that some cards were never offered, but at the end of the day mafia is about town starting with limited info so if we can expand that info, it might help. Thoughts?

Also ##vote Brainbomb - I seem to recall he likes playing mafia so would've chosen a scum role if he had a choice.

Can someone who's read the setup tell me if there's any reason not to tell you all that I discarded a Mafia Goon card?

Thanks

There is. But there's a reason to tell it too. This last 24 hours I've gone back and forth on the merits.

[DemonRHK]

Y'all made a crack N1 when you killed me that there was an understanding I was being killed as a PR hunt and no one was in any way afraid of my mafia play.

Like I said, y'all were not wrong though

[BunnyGo]

They're predicting 10+ inches of snow tonight/tomorrow and 40+ mph wind...so...I may not be here if we lose power. ##vote kgray because she would choose scum given the chance. She did before.

I've read some of this set-up (I know people will find that hard to believe) and wondered the same thing about stating what our discards were. Great minds think alike and all that. Maybe we should've talked about this in our QT thread?

Tell me your musings and I'll tell you mine...

Interesting but last game his mafia playing seemed to revert brain, so that will become quite clear.

Honestly the one drawback is fake choices or outing a pr because of the other card was a good choice.

But what did we infer?

How I see it.
By fake I mean that people may feel the need to lie since it gives a lot of info.

[DemonRHK]

I feel like the correct play is to out your toss if it was a non-town alligned role. That will keep the important roles hidden while providing some info on what we are up against.

That was my main issue too. Balanced against somebody knowing that the Vanillaizer is out of the game, or the SK, or Godfather. If anyone turned some strong scum role down (even for VT...I might have myself...) there's something to be known.

Yeah, I think this is mitigated to an extent by the fact that there are two scumteams, but I don't know enough about the relative power of roles to say for sure.

In any case, I don't think there's any downside to revealing that you discarded a non-town role, so all of those should probably claim.

But what did we infer?

...that I was bad at mafia. Why are you focusing on a shitpost so hard? You didn't pick a scum because you were on tilt from the way last game went did you?

[BunnyGo]

Question: should we massclaim? Or partial massclaim somehow?

Pro: we have no idea how close we are to KiLo (we may be there tonight or tomorrow by the rules).

Pro: We know the maximum number of VTs

Con: We let the aliens and scum target our PRs

I guess I'm just stuck on not understanding how that's an inference.

I've been scum three out of the last five games and not been super happy about it. There's no way I'd pick it again. Though obviously that's an excellent reason for me to pick it again.

Of course, enough of you know

I think I'm in favor of this on account of always enjoying a glorious shitshow.

I knew I had the mark of this group and trolling.

Oof, hadn't realized you'd rolled that bad on rolls. Hope you have something enjoyable this round
