M89: Baldurs Gate Mafia Game Thread

[sweetandcool]

Also it looks like the overuse of 'scumslip' and 'townslip' is still just as prevalent as before... sigh...

Is this a scamslop?

It's a squidslip.

[DiplomacyandWarfare]

My gimmick is ready: Alignment charts!
Functionally, these are just weird readlists.
Good = Town, Evil = Scum
Lawful = "Helpful"/"Good townplay", Chaotic = "Unhelpful"/"Not Trusted"

Yes, Lawful does bleed a bit into Good, and Chaotic bleeds a bit into Evil. There are some differences, though. For example, I am more likely to trust the analysis of someone who I read as Lawful Good than someone who I read as Chaotic Good.

Also, 3x3 alignment charts just weren't good enough, so I'm using 7x7.
Umm... how do I post an image that I don't have a weblink to?

##vote no kill
In such a massive game, I don't see the point in not skipping when there is not enough info. unless there is a major scum slip, or some other great realization, this is my vote for the day.

the point is, to get voting information from everyone, how they react, save that information, then use that information, where every town should know nothing and only play on gut, or guesses, on a later date. Like 'oh, now whe know X flipped mafia, on day one it looks like Y and Z tried to rescue X and voted C instead. Lets have a deeper look into them'. And there are lots of more things to gain of, later, with reactions and stuff that happened in the prior days.

Voting no-kill is like not providing information from yourself, making yourself kind a blank slot, which is what a mafia member would like to do, at least some. The more information about you is publicly known, your behaviour and voting and reason etc., the better other players can read you. Town want to find other town, as much as they want to find mafia.

As town, it is quite a good idea to project information from you, so your team members can read you. Mafia knows already you are not on their team, though they want to know who the PR's are. THAT information should be hidden as town, yes, but also, it's probably a good idea to send information out about your thoughts, reasoning and logic.

So true. Townslips mean nothing

No, scumslips mean nothing.

Again, let's please not tell mafia who would accept a tadpole.

hard agree with dipandwar here, we don't to give mafia any more advantages.

This is silly talk, the whole point of mafia is the town strategizing in public, and seeing who is picking decisions that benefit the town or people who are trying to steer us away. PLUS the mafia can talk 24/7 this time around, and more likely than not they have people who know people who play here, we need things out in the OPEN! That's more important especially at such an early stage

Well that didn't take long. Would have hoped 89 games in we would have rid webdip of this awful ideaology

don't forget, Ezio is in the game ...

I say we nip this in the bud.

[DiplomacyandWarfare]

I think there are some players that fit that criteria. I would like to ask though, how about you? Would you accept a tadpole, if given to you? Would you like to play mafia this game?

Anyone who doesnt say they would accept a tadpole is a big fat joke, unless the Mafia team LITERALLY gets SLAUGHTERED people are picking mafia. And EVEN if the team DID get slaughtered how fun would it be to do such a big comeback. I think this is a useless question

In all seriousness, whether or not I would accept a tadpole would depend on the state of the game and how confident I was in the town.

Some people prefer to play as town.

Fewer townslips, more Freudian slips, please.

Freude means joy, so I'm all up for that

I see no upside to revealing whether we would accept tadpoles for the town.

Should we add Foxcastle to our party?

Zero tolerance for snipping quotes. Stop or be hammered.

I didn't snip anything.

[FlaviusAetius]

Has Kak advocated day 1 off limits before, or is this new?
Also, if this is our list of day 1 no kills then stuff really has changed since I left

I agree what is the point behind a no-kill list, are these people good at this game? Then TARGET them, not no kill them...that means they'd be the best mafia. But even that...you should just look at what people say and as someone else said look for slips and go for them, day 1 should be ez pz since so many people talking someone's bound to slip; use THAT for our no-kill list(or def kill list)

Someone did. Probably Flavius.

My point stands.

How many mafia are there again?
