Mafia 86: Accidents Happen... - Game Thread

I also have barely ever talked about you will.

Last game went sideways and you ended up in the crosshairs over bozo activity status and you were never on my radar last game. You were a null wallflower to me

To the GT:

Just is pinging me a bit too, but I feel a bit bad saying so. I’m glad he’s playing in a way that I can follow kore at least.

I think this is Bunny, realizing he is fucked if he doesn’t do something, trying to appeal to brain’s suspicion of me.

[brainbomb]

i gotta spend time with baby now so ill be away for a while.

So adorable. I will make sure to vote you so you can spend time with your kid.

You might think that this post was a joke but your positions later adjusted themselves to fit this desire.

so it would seem the desire was always there even in jest

##vote Bunny

the only person who has voted to have not changed their vote

To the GT:

This…is silly. But somehow he doesn’t sound silly? Hungover damo is weird.

[foodcoats]

It seems to be optics-focused effort. More form than substance.

What do you think of me using my reads, both of scum and town, to guide my vote?

I'd hope anyone would do that.

Okay, so what is the part of my play that seems more “optics” rather than solving? You don’t even have to use my whole iso. Show us in my reads list where the part is that makes you feel my review and consideration of everyone’s iso is more likely for show than as an effort to scumhunt.

I guess. You’re still not my #1 mafia candidate tho.

Why is it silly? I think townspeople are more likely to chop and change their vote.

Weird?

[brainbomb]

He'll be back, and in greater numbers.

Can I get an objective yes/no if I am being too confident sounding in this game?

This does not make any sense to ask another townsperson, when you have no idea what his alignment is and he should have no idea what yours is how could he possibly even answer this? How could he know if you are giving a tell that is too much or too little?

I was trying not to sound like a douchebag by being overly confident.

[brainbomb]

-And just how would you know my alleged teammates are under no scrutiny? You can’t know unless you think you have found all the mafia

Why ask chaqa?
(Was he the only one around)

-He was the only one around.

I was speculating that if you were confident scum it was because you were on a scumteam that was not under much pressure; or you maybe just like being scum which wasnt a thought I had at the time. But these answers are very much like

“Well maybe I am scum but whats the big deal?”

If you are very confident town, happy to be here and you wanna bust some heads, you dont have a guilty conscience - be that thing. Not a problem. If youre innocent you can be confident and aggressive and go after the ones you think are evil.

i thought your town play was to approach games with a cautious; ambivalent curiousity. i dont see that in this game. i see a blend of forced reads and some uncharacteristic bravado

I don’t see any confidence in my reads. I see confidence in my other posts, that are not really game related. So I think we just disagree on this point fundamentally.

[brainbomb]

So brain, to clarify, you think me and Chaqa are a mafia pair?

Questions like this strike me less as wanting to know why and more about being amused at me struggling to guess the right answer.

This comes off as

“Youre right brain, but it isnt chaqa.”

[foodcoats]

Brain, do you not wish to unite forces and vote Bunny with me? If not, why?

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

@brain, here are the last games I played:

1. It was my first time. I was not confident in my abilites
2. It was my first time as mafia. I was not confident in my abilites
3. I was a PR, but town. I was confident that game.
4. I made a factual error that led to my downfall. But I was confident that game.
5. This game.

I've actually started off looking at bunny again (I am going to look at ghug, Will, brainbomb, and Food, hopefully I have the time).

I thought maybe my scumreading him and voting him based on his first post was harsh, but the more I look at him the more he looks bad.

Bunny's first post seemed insincere because he threw in an obligatory degradation of Will and sweetandcool, when we hadn't done anything yet to warrant it.

His first post of page 3 he decides to townread me, because I mentioned I'm grumpy about life. I still couldn't have possibly done something to make him frustrated with me, and he even references that he needs a better way to read me. Again, this is clearly Bunny saying things he has said in past games, but he has no reason to make those comments.

Third post of page 3 is interesting if Bunny is scum. Could he be teammates with brainbomb?

First post of page 4, maybe it's a casual post or maybe it's a way to spread some stink on me. Bunny seems to want to town me and scum me at the same time.

Last post of page 8 actually makes me mad now that I'm rereading it. Is scum Bunny trying to make us look like teammates?! I'm really not liking his interactions with me (I wasn't planning on cherrypicking his posts that refer to me, but those are the ones that keep pinging me the most).

2nd post of page 9, he agrees with brainbomb and continues to negatively comment on Food. There have been a few posts about Food that don't ping me, but it's interesting how he seems to be buddying brainbomb. Is brainbomb town or are they being obvious partners to the point that we can't think they are partners? Or is it a bus on Food? I haven't felt bad about Food but I do worry about potential pocketing. Food's been too easygoing with me, and it makes me wary.

Several posts later: Jeeze, Bunny become fixated on brainbomb. Not towning or scumming brainbomb really, just mentioning the hell out of him.

Okay, at this point I've concluded Bunny is probably scum. He is currently gunning for Food. Bus or MK?

I was planning on saving Food for last, but I think I'll look at him next. Then onto my accusers.

[BunnyGo]

I had a post ready here but it just looked like a paranoid ego trip. Im never 100% accurate so ill just take a chill pill.

To the GT:

Towniest post I’ve seen from brain all game.

[bozotheclown]

I am going to be unavailable at EOD and I am not going to be available much before then.

I do not have any strong scum suspects yet, so if it was up to me I would no-kill today because it probably would not cost us a mis-kill (although it could if there is a doctor save).

However, I realize it is not up to me, and of the different idea being presented, the cases against Chaqa and foodcoats seem to me to have the most potential to be accurate.

##VOTE foodcoats

[brainbomb]

So guys… what now? No new developments…

Froggy-heart-lurker-and ghug? That’s a reasonable team guess? Will have to go read with that in mind later.

This is wrong, there are only 3. Is this an intentional “townslip”? Or is this just a mistake?

This seems coordinated to leave and drop here.
see scum partner bunny attempting to fake how many scum there are
Claim it might be a townslip

Walk away see who buys that

It's also inaccurate. I haven't changed my vote at all.
