Mafia 85: Return from Lockdown

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Watcha thinkin’ about?

Well...pondering Just right now.

I find him to be "wrong" (IMHO, but obviously he's thinking in complete and coherent ways) a lot. But this statement about bozo is a different way of being wrong.

Trying to decide how he would get to it as town. Or as scum.

Besides that, hoping babyspice shows up a bit.

pondering why you were so wrong about what worcej wrote despite several people telling you.


you?

Well, after they told me I realized that I was wrong about worcej’s “slip.” A man can be wrong and learn from his mistakes, can’t he? (I didn’t post about it because Jamie said it was clogging the thread.)

I have never played with Will but I almost feel they are obvscum with how many weird things they’ve said.

Dang just saw this lol

[BunnyGo]

Right, I see - so it's like an alphabetised list, but randomised.

Okay. I don't mind this option.

It's almost like there's an entire industry and field of mathematics developed to do this for us THAT WE CAN DISCUSS LATER

Why are you shouting?

Please calm down. It's only a game.

...you're right.

OK...

News Host

You are the News Host. You perform investigative journalism and then tell everyone your target's return on your breakfast news show. Responsible journalistic practices prevent you from revealing the name of your source. You return "success" or "failure", as appropriate.

##CALL GM

Does this mean that the GM will post “Your target’s return” at the start of day? If so does the GM post the name of the target? The name of the news host?

The GM will publicly announce the return of the News Host's target's night action, but not the Identity of the host or their target.

@kak why are you voting damo?

@fishy why do you think I'm voting sweet?

@bozo do you have any non-mech thoughts to share?

well, at first it was half a joke for him causing my demise last game and revenge for him causing my demise last game. Then he didn't post for a while and I didn't like that. When he posted he didn't occured overly town to me, so I stayed. I changed my vote to 'someone' after a GM post we should "vote someone", so I followed the GM. The bot didn't pick that up and pretty much nobody reacted to my joke, so I let it sit.

I was pondering where to change my vote, if I would change it, when there was much going on in the thread. I could see me vote lfischl, but he seemed to post more than usual and I don't feel like to punish that, since I want to see him post (even more). I am however not wanting sweet to go. I also don't think frog is mafia so that's not a vote choice either. So that's why it probably appears to me voting damo.

[worcej]

hmm

as a master PR hunter, @worcej, I want to know what you think of bozo's suggestion.

If you were mafia, would you trade being hemmed in with your actions from town for getting better PR information? Would you prefer that everyone decides for themselves? Do you think the N1 actions from bozo could lead to an unclimbable information advantage for town?

Thinking as scum, I’d use the fact you could narrow down your pools of PR results and identify the important PRs faster and in a more controlled way.

I don’t think it’s for sure unclimbable because it comes down to luck of assignment and how everyone falls in the player list. I think scum would just adapt to the gameplay and spend N1 planning for this strategy and how to maneuver through it.

##CALL GM

What is “the food?” Is this an item?

Note that I am attempting to answer questions to the best of my ability while the primary GM is asleep. She may correct me later on.

The recipient will be informed that they received food. The food itself has no impact on the game beyond the notification.

Thank you! (I also noticed MM said it is the fruit vendor so that makes sense.)

Okay, interesting. Thank you.

##CALL GM

Is the mafia Discord open for posting during day phase? (The link to the “standard rules” is broken and it is not mentioned anywhere in the write up.)

Mafia chat is night-only.

This is the webDip default and deviations will be explicitly stated in the setup. I'm look into the broken link.

There are 19 non-you players. All of whom are within 3 votes of being a leading wagon.

besides fish and frog, who WON'T you vote?

##VOTE FROGSTER

Only decent read I have

[Kakarroto]

I could vote sweet or justaguy

the thing is they are not in my top 6 scumreads even. and I feel barely anything that would make me think theyre mafia

I feel way more inclined to kill among frog-lfischl-chaqa

hmm ... actually, why not?

Why shouldn't I vote chaqa? Just so he does something.

##vote Chaqa

[ghug]

Not sure if this was asked elsewhere but
If someone gets doc saved the doctor gets a note saying success.

does the person who survives the night attack also get a notice letting them know they survived an attack?

##Call GM

I'm going to find off on answering this one until Monarch is back.

Can you remind us?

Let's just try for Frog then, I guess.

##VOTE Frog

[Jamiet99uk]

Hey, I want to remind everyone that there are 5 scum slots and on a social level 5 people in 20 have an immense amount of influence over the group. I'm going to focus on my aggressive scum hunting stuff and build a PoE as fast as I can. I hope that we have a few mech-minded townies who can focus on solving the setup.

Every time i post, it jumps me to the end, and I saw someone call out frog for not having scum reads. this conflicts with that.

Also, I saw frog trying to tell me what to do, and I don't even know them yet. I'd prefer a hello first, and an understanding that I have a life outside this.

##Vote Frog

I am still only on page 4, this may change

I mean we're more than a day into the game it's reasonable to expect some level of participation

This post really still pings me badly, despite Lfishl being more active.

[Jamiet99uk]

##Vote Lfischl

You still want this, Brainbomb?

[BunnyGo]

OK...let's see:

Just:

So, FrogsterKing, babyspice666, and Diplomacy&Warfare, welcome to WebDip mafia! Hope you all don’t die day 1.

Also Just:

Unless something of note happens:

##VOTE FROGSTER

Sorry. I have confirmation that my suspicions of you are, in fact, valid, and I’m not being an idiot

Can you walk me through your thought's Just.

I really can't follow them.

Can you spell it out to me like I'm your kinda slow 8 year old cousin who really really wants to understand.

##Vote Lfischl

You still want this, Brainbomb?

What about the post pings you?

He doesn't want them all to die D1.

He knows he can only mis-kill one person per day phase.
