Mafia 87: Madness in Mega-City One - GAME THREAD

[snowy801]

Yes, BST. it sounds like sweet is putting that whole topic to rest and for everyones sanity we can move on. long story short He thought that because I knew when the game started that it was because the time on the game thread shows a different start time than was advertised in signups, which I didnt read, in fact I backed out of even being in this game for a month.
Hes saying I only knew the game started because I was in a pregame scum chat, and he has since moved on from that idea. At least I assume he has. it was will who brought it back up again and didnt specify why

Can't find it in the sign up post, must be blind
But I get the gist. I suppose I'm content to move on from whatever this is

Thank you, that is correct. Remember, you said you sincerely didn't get the info from anywhere other than Google, and I unvoted because I have no reason to believe you would lie about it that way, even if you are Mafia.

[brainbomb]

okay, so can we talk about what everyone really wants to talk about?

[sweetandcool]

im more interested in the "for the wrong reasons" remark which implies you have or ever had some valid reason

It does not imply that. Someone could be read for NAI reasons and that would be a wrong reason.

It does not imply that there currently is a reason for divining someone's alignment.

It is abnormally lazy of sweet and will to both try to use mech and out of game stuff to clear or condemn people too. Especially that is a trait of wills scum game where he relentlessly tries to fake townslips.

The main tell I am referring too here is repeated regurgitation of when this game started by Will, despite having quoted the opening post which refutes his and sweets arguments categorically.

and additionally this strange notion that people were being coached in pregame when there is evidence to suggest players may not have even been in those pregame chats, and for that matter may still not even be in them as of now.

So many logic leaps and spurrious ideas being barfed into the thread, and everything we think its been put to rest, one of them brings it back up as if there is some reason they supposedly distrust one another for it.

I didn’t fake any townslip

I agreed with sweet until I found evidence he was wrong. So no.

You are literally describing the concept of the game of mafia

How Kak hasn't posted yet? It's a crying shame.

I say we shoot in the barrel of lurkers

whats your over/under on post count for them to be considered one?

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

Ok. Nvm then.

Kotp is the only townread I have

Everyone not listed is null, but food and sweet are high null

Balki, snowy, damo scumreads. Maybe darg as well

You know what… damo’s intro is actually pretty scummy.

##VOTE damo666

My initial joke vote on Will grew into a seed of legitimate doubt last night but I’m coming around on Will. I will reciprocate the “high null” even though this sounds like something teenagers say that I am too old to understand.

Oy! I’m almost not a teenager!

I say we shoot in the barrel of posters who were active at game start. There weren't very many,candy Mafia would be more likely to be around to post at the beginning. I think a high proportion of them are likely scum.

A quick peek at the current post count says 10

[brainbomb]

10 players are under 10 posts. ND and Pirate are barely over that hump.

so yes, there is not a mathematical way town could even have hope to win if those 12 are all town lol

[kingofthepirates]

You seem strangely fixated on disproving the notion that you could be coached.

What do you think has been the most interesting thing about this game? Is there anything that you find confusing so far?

it has been brought up more than once, and I'd like to put those accusations to rest.

My greatest confusion stems from my inexperience and lack of communication in this setting. Everyone already seems settled in and is taking everything in stride, while I'm kinda sitting here trying to keep track of all the directions the discussion is going. accusations and defenses, as well as posts that may not even be relevant! and it's all updating so quickly... Also, I'm very unfamiliar with the mannerisms of people playing mafia, so I don't understand the significance of things such as amount of participation, voting patterns, etc. and how those can be tells to if someone is Mafia or not (side note: is scum the same as mafia?).

As for interesting, I like the overall experience of the game, and general excitement I'm getting. I sincerely enjoyed Among Us when it was big, and social deduction games have always been fun for me. I probably should've tried Mafia before, but never could find a group that was interested .

It's always easiest to find scum in active posters for obvious reasons, if there are any
But in the long run I think the dust that these players leave in the wake is more useful than their immediate kill, which is not the same for these lurkers

Pop some early and they'll come crawling out of the woodworks, I say

I'm not sure what your point is. Obviously not every lurker is scum?

multiple scum low posting

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

Scum=mafia

We use it interchangeably

And kotp don’t worry you will have time to catch up at N1 when the discussion slows way down

Also post count and participation is not indicative of alignment

[snowy801]

If anything, damo/darg are the two scummiest low posters
