M89: Baldurs Gate Mafia Game Thread

[Chaqa]

My girlfriend unexpectedly went to the hospital this morning. She is currently being transferred to Philadelphia to have a minor procedure done. All is well and we don't expect any major impacts on her or the pregnancy, but I will be somewhat inactive until around Wednesday if I had to guess.

If things get too heavy I'll request a sub, but for now I should be OK once we get back home.

So, is this where we debate whether Squiggs scumslipped because he automatically knew how many mafia there were without needing to read the setup?

Why are you asking if you should scumread me or not? If you're gonna scumread me, do it like ghug does, unashamed

Are you shaming Foxcastle? I would not take being compared to ghug as a compliment right now.

[Squigs44]

I just checked. Brain did in fact say there are 5 scum in the sign up thread.
To Foxcastle, I don't think Squiggs actually said how many, he just waved off the question. Squiggs might be scum with a new player.

Why "with a new player"?

A new player would be most likely to scumslip and answer this question, which might explain Squiggs posting - preventing his scumteammate from slipping.

Prevent a teammate from incriminating themselves by incriminating myself first? I'm not that stupid

[DiplomacyandWarfare]

Also, why haven't you made a spreadsheet yet Foxcastle?

Who's to say I haven't? There are 65,780 potential scum teams...

sigh...

[Foxcastle]

DiplomacyandWarfare, I don't think we've played before. Tell me of yourself.

So you're saying your post waving off my scumtrap was incriminating?

How is your post a scumtrap exactly?

Glad to hear it's a minor procedure. Wishing y'all the best.

Do I still count as a new player or am I graduating into sweet territory

Don't think we can be compared. You've had a whopping good scum game and I've crushed it twice as Town.

But yeah, I don't think anybody considers you wet behind the ears anymore.

[FlaviusAetius]

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 Dip

I say we nip this in the bud.

NOOOO! This is a great idea I want to know where he would put me xD Also why not its flavorful and gets him talking he said he doesnt even talk usually in these games so I support, plus would be interesting to see where he puts people >.> A public allignment of his opinions on literally everyone almost 24/7 sounds GREAT to me

This is a terrible idea that too easily looks like scumhunting when it's just garbage.

Now, if you want a true method, I will send you a copy of my patent-pending spreadsheet.

[FlaviusAetius]

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

Some people prefer to play as town.

Only if they have a PR; so now we have found a roundabout way to decide if someone is a PR town or not, what a great idea! NOT. VERY BAD. This is a BAD question to ask people

No i mean you are new-ish but have played enough games to not be considered new

I didn’t mean in terms of game achievements

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

I’m leaving Dip out of my scumreads cuz he put me as rebel impure which is very true to my style of play

[BunnyGo]

My role PM told me I was vanilla town.

I'm positively gutted since I wanted to experience the joys of Mafia day chat.

Probably the only way I'll ever get to experience Mafchat

Sorry bud, I was looking forward to playing with you, but signaling to the mafia you're willing to be tadpoled means we got to kill you now.

##Vote sweetandcool

So you think they're town but want to vote them before they are converted?

Squigs! By the light of Selûne, I can hardly believe my eyes. It's been far too long, old friend. Your words today remind me why your counsel has always been so valued. Your wisdom is a beacon for us all.

It's not intended to be strategic or highly efficient. It's thematic.

@dargorygel the quote function is malfunctioning

Someone did. Probably Flavius.

My point stands.

Yea that was my fuault I was trying to shorten someone's quote to only respond to particular part, and to not flood the chat but I did it wrong lol

[BunnyGo]

Here I was gonna do my RNG bit, which would have settled on Will. But Flum is making Town's job easy.

Sweet, your boldness is hard to miss. Yet, let us channel that energy into something more constructive. After all, we are here to support one another and work towards a greater good.
