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

[Chaqa]

chaqa my sister lives in Lehigh Valley and was talking about the earthquake also. must have been fairly large

Small world!

Vash also lives here still I think, though I haven't talked to him in ages.

That's like 30 minutes away from me, so not too far. Close to where my family is from

yes I temporarily became Niles Crane. to the chagrin of foodcoats.

I am boarding a plane, skimming over the thread. I feel like I just don’t have a lot to say. I’d still very much like to see Sweetie or Damo flip. I find myself reading Kakarroto and Food as likely Town. Captain Sparrow likely Town. Kind of suspicious of ghug for trying to test the waters on a D1 Balki kill.

I just haven’t learned much since yesterday. I could use another flip or two!

TLDR on why you think Sweet is scummy? He's one of my stronger townreads

If you real my ISO, you’ll see a lot of words about this and the quotes I have in mind. In sum, his progressions seemed unnatural. He decided I was Angel because I suggested a strategy that makes it hard to be Judge Fear, then he decided he was okay killing me because Angels are okay to kill too.

More generally, Sweet gives me the impression of wanting to participate in the discussion, but sort of following along with the current of the river, and not paddling his own way.

Okay, maybe I am wrong about Balki or maybe they just are too distracted from reading. Generating content is not something I struggle with and it's hard to imagine someone genuinely taking this stance.

[sweetandcool]

I’m at an event rn, so can’t really talk much. Is it around this time that we will be doing the “If I were a cop…” thing? Are we saying if we got true/false now, or only announcing our hypothetical targets?

this seems to be a very high level dumbtell.

See that's what I have been thinking. But I think because it could be a symptom of newness that we should just note it for now.

[damo666]

There are three players who reported a false result but are not voting for their alleged target. I purport that this makes them statistically more likely to be scum than other players.

These are

food
Will
sweet

I am willing to vote any of these.

Kotp is voting rdr on whom he claimed FALSE but he also so claimed RB so this is nonsense.

Sweet reported False on Brain after Vecna and Balki had already reported TRUE (which I also subsequently reported). I'm not really sure what to make of this. If he were scum wouldn't he mimic the other two?

So I am left with food and Will. Will already has a vote so I'll go there.

But if Judges decided to kill N1 and the MMA killed as well, we would know that damo/sweet/DrFid/food are the MMA

Also did people see my post about the consolidating wagon tactic probably being led by mafia?

I didn't, but I agree with the sentiment

I also did not but why would the scum teams be incentivized to push consolidation over the town folks thinking to do it?

It's an easy thing to be perceived as being pro-town, when in reality the natural information that comes from free voting is probably better in the long run

I think on average people who are overly concerned about anti-town behavior are more likely to be scum than not

ah so youre following me no matter what I do.

How does this make any sense cops don't even know whether their results are good or not

Who's following you?

ah so youre following me no matter what I do.

For now. I want my own look at the interactions pointed out and EoD1 before I draw conclusions.

So for now, this is fun!

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[brainbomb]

I understand why hes doing it and its because we were in a rpg together and things got really complex and a messy situation arose. I more or less screwed him over and I eventually left that game for reasons that he probably isnt even aware of, and doesnt wanna ask me about. But in any case, kak can confirm this to be the case, I think they arent allowed to discuss the game anyway so its irrelevant completely to this game.

anyways, he has justification for being annoyed with me, but im a little surprised to hear some of his statements implying how annoyed he actually is.

If you were a cop with a FALSE it is more likely to be valid than not so statistically the optimal play would be to vote their target. The fact they are not makes them less likely to be cop and therefore more likely to be scum.

I therefore advocate voting from within this group.

[brainbomb]

the only thing pirate really has going on their side is that it feels like they simulataneously went with 4 different strategies without thinking about if any of them actually made sense together
