MAFIA 78: Random Facts [GAME THREAD] - [HIDDEN]

...

Further, based on my limited experience with Mafia so far, I think anyone who claims supreme confidence in their Suspect Lists early on is Suspicious as heck.

is the lack of confidence implied somewhere in your message

Nope – but I don't see anyone else posting confidence percentages next to their posts either.

From what I have observed, 50% of the posts on here are random noise or silly jokes and the other 50% are people throwing around half-baked accusatory-theories ranging from soft feels to semi-religious dogma.

I dislike the former (except about Bozo being soulless) and am engaging in the latter just like everyone else!

I'm so lost

I feel like ghug SUS? I have to read votes history as posts are confusing

But everything is relative. In my mind, I am relatively more confident in my top two suspects of Chaqa and yourself than anyone else, because I currently lack a better hypothesis.

I am indeed trying to actively read every other accusation-hypothesis that folks are throwing around, shopping for ones whose logic I can get behind that would be relatively stronger to update my list!

you should post what you think of different accusations and pensees against different people

OK – seeing as I am indeed still alive, I will make a Koala Cleared Townie List today as promised!

usually people with a voting pool of 3 on d2 are supremely confident. most everyone else is riding the wave

Think about it. If you were the doctor and got a roleblock message would you announce it?

Dislike this answer. It's like if I ask you what's considered the standard response to E2-E4 in chess to know whether the opponent is playing a standard game or not – and you are like "think about it, what do you think is a best move?"

[KoalaAttack]

Short of the Doctor claiming and telling us (which they shouldn’t), no. Mafia can make some inferences from who they roleblocked, but they presumably won’t be telling us either…

Thank you

Except I explicitly told you I'm not confident at all. And I had a pool of 3 on D2 last game too, 100% of which was incorrect :)

Interesting Facts about Guns:
America has the highest gun possession rate of all the countries, with over 270 million people owning at least one of these firearms. When asked why they chose to have it, two-thirds of these people claimed protection as the major reason. Possession of a gun can make you feel safer and more in control of your protection.

As of 2022, gun-related deaths are among the top three leading causes of death in the United States. The Pew Research center surveyed in 2021 to find out what the average American feels concerning gun violence and possession. These results showed that 48% of Americans living in the U.S. see it as the number one problem facing society today.

The remaining percentage of people still bordered on the fact that it is a small or moderate problem, while only six agreed that it was no problem. During the survey, it was discovered that the differing opinions on this were majorly influenced by the race or ethnicity of the individual. 82% of black people agreed that gun violence is a major problem in society, the highest polling number accrued by any race in the survey. It is followed closely by the Hispanics, where 58% of the adults agreed that it is a problem. Only 38% of the Whites agreed to this.

Still, according to the 2022 survey by the Pew Center, more than half of Americans want stricter firearm laws. 32% argued that the current law is strict enough, while 14% said they would prefer it if it were less strict.

While there are so many debates on whether a stricter law would lead to a decrease in mass shootings, Americans have remained divided on this issue. 34% of the people think that if fewer people possessed this, the crime rate would increase, 34% believe the rate would remain the same, while 31% think there will be a drastic reduction in the crime rate.

FLUMINATOR HAS DIED. HE WAS THE TOWN ONE-SHOT VIGILANTE!

Day 2 has begun. You may now post.

Poop. No more confirmed Townie.

Open question to experienced players – but please only answer if answering this doesn't give Mafia useful info – is there a way for us to tell if the Doctor protected the wrong person or if the Mafia stopped the Doctor? Would a Doctor typically share what they did or did not do, or would it be better for them to remain silent?

The mafia won't know whether their roleblock succeeded or the doctor tried to save elsewhere. It's best not to probe on that, but we should be claiming roleblocked if we were roleblocked.

[ghug]

I'm down to 35 possible teams. Has anybody suggested less?

I'm down to one team:
bona
damo
lfischl
Bishkek

Happy?

It's 34 less than 35 but it's wrong.

What are the odds that the true team is outside of your 35?

to the tune of twinkle twinkle little star

faintly, a kazoo plays, out of tune

my name is yon yonson

i live in wisconsin

i work in a lumberyard there

and when i walk down the street

the people i meet

they say "what's your name?"

and i say

my name is yon yonson

Syllables don't fit:

my name is yon yonson I
live in Wisconsin I work
in a lumberyard there and
when I walk down the street the
people that I meet they say
"what's your name" and I say my

Checkmate scum.

Whereas if your name were "scum", it would go:

my name is scum I live in wis-
consin I work in a lumb-
beryard there and when I walk
down the street the people that
I meet they say "what's your name"
and I say my name is scum


Embarrassing scumslip bona.

Why is this stroke of genius not getting more attention?

Man I read the whole thing thinking you were going to change something.

Ask and you shall receive:

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the Bona raths outgrabe.

“Beware the Ghuggerwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”

He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Ghuggerwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

“And hast thou slain the Ghuggerwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the Bona raths outgrabe.

i dislike this post for not explaining why it's scummy for dammiet to do it as opposed to generic mafia player #3

Generic mafia player #3 isn’t that bad and Damo is better than that. I had the pleasure of being a mason with him once and thought he was good

was that the game you were mason with kgary and i caught you guys voting as a bloc

it's not an investigative post but rather one that describes the world if damo was scum, with inherent unknowables that don't progress the case. i think it's probably what like happened but i don't believe that it's useful as a way of knowing dimmit's alignment

Oh I see what you’re trying at. You misunderstand the point. The primary presuppose of that wasn’t meant to be case progression, it was meant to be a response to bozo explaining the world in which Damo is scum and I’m not because bozo seemed to think the only realistic explanation for Damo’s word shading of me but not voting me being that we were on a scum team together

[brainbomb]

this game needs Vernon

[TheFlyingBoat]

Getting at*

Purpose*

Sorry for autocorrect

[brainbomb]

so after we miskill damo can we consider someone I want to destroy?

[BK3K]

Correct me if wrong.

Damo and TFB are opposed. If we vote one, the other is possibly opposite alignment?

Eden makes good case against ghug. I liked his points, but Eden for whatever reason is suspicious in my mind, can't shake it, so don't know what to make of that. Brain supports ghug = scum and i trust brain.

Idk what to do. I know bona is like a crazy little monkey, but not sure how that plays into his alignment.

Sorry guys, this game is more chaotic than i expected and i make no promises to keep up with every detail of every action. I know it's asking y'all to do labor for me, but some spark note versions of theories would help me out. Otherwise it's silence and fury, signifying nothing, except without the silence part
