M89: Baldurs Gate Mafia Game Thread

[TheMadMonarch]

These "character sheet" posts look fun.

I'm gonna do one

[FlaviusAetius]

And for everyone, please don't take it personally if you aren't on the list, I enjoy playing with everyone, or most everyone (I think there exist people where I genuinely wish to not play with them, but I think I haven't met any in the time I played, as far as I remember), like jamie, demon, foods, bunny, will, chaqa, to name only a few, but I think, that currently I would trust myself the most to get a read of ghug out of all, well bona maybe more, but he is already on my list.

I hope that makes it more clear for you, Squigs?

THIS IS ME SPEAKING;
The only valid people on this list are ghugh and bona because you said you can tell when their mafia. Not gonna lie though that seems like a load of baloney to me, but fine. That still doesnt mean you shouldnt end up voting for them day one if that tell actually ends up surfacing! So then the only valid people on your list is Colby because he's a new player and you want him to last more than a day. This day one no kill list remains silly


Ok I messed this whole quote thing up let me try to fix it, ok I deleted the Squigs part just wanted to respond to Kakarotto responding to Squigs

[TheMadMonarch]

Why are we voting for Jamie? Because he was grumpy? Is he not always grumpy?

##VOTE Vecna

for voting for Jamie

[Dousing]

I've read up to page 7 and you are all absolutely insufferable.

Goodnight.

it's really not that bad tbh

[Fluminator]

How dare you! I am a man of integrity. I would not eat a tadpole, that's murder.

Plus, Mafia shouldn't be looking to recruit a VT.

##VOTE Flum for scumslipping.

Wait you just caught me townslipping for not even knowing mafia can convert a PR. Thank you
Sweet!
and Cool

This reads like a lie. Why would you assume that town PR's are exempt from a tadpole?

##vote Fluminator

Also the possibility that a tadpole sent to a town PR could fail brings up a weird alternate universe where the mafia could've used the tadpole to figure out if a person was a town PR or not (ie: the mafia would know a person was a town PR if the tadpole failed)

It feels a little broken if mafia can convert a PR. This setup seems a little on crack, especially with the 24 hour phases.

My bad. Apparently the two of us are unable to play in normal games together. The last one was pretty chaotic

[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.

BunnyGo are you using AI or something what kind of response is this. Flum literally is voting sweet because sweet would want to take a tadpole, which is crazy because that means Flum THINKS Sweet is NOT a mafia and yet is voting him ANYWAYS!

Flavius, my friend, rest assured that while I may seek counsel and wisdom from various sources, the thoughts and decisions I share are wholly my own. Just as a blade is tempered by the hands of a skilled smith, my words are forged through my own experiences and convictions.

[FlaviusAetius]

I agree with the logic that killing someone always provides information, I dont like this stance you are taking so early on. Sure I see a SCENARIO where MAYBE we dont kill someone. But to stake out that posisiton so early is just silliness

Under what circumstances would we not kill someone?

I guess at EoD we come down to two wagons, both claim different PR's, and the third we try to consolidate on claims another PR? At that point, there might be some sentiment where people flock to a no-kill?

I just assumed there would be some reason but I never actually thought what that reason would be. I think thats a good reason to make it happen, but even then we should be very wary...

Ok if this isnt AI then you are just very good with words, I guess? Though...what do you think about the whole Flum thing? Like where is your actual opinion on something is what I think Im looking for everytime I read something of yours its nothing to do with advancing the game

[Hamilton Brian]

Fair enough
##Vote Ifischl

Town points for agreeing to such a bizarre methodology?

I would just assume this is written by Bunny. I see know reason to assume otherwise.

LOL, did you know Brest finally got banned? I'm trying to convince Meme and Ezio to cover that game in their diplostrats channel.

7x7_blank - with names.jpg

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?

when you click "post reply", below the three buttons (save draft) (preview) and (submit), there are two 'folders': -) options and -) attachments

click attachments

click the button 'add files'

that should open the window towards your computer, then you search for the picture file and put it in.

then you have the option to either place it in the text, or just add it

if you want to place it in the text, click with the mouse first in the text field where you want the file, then click the button below that says 'place inline' (or something like that). When you submit the post, the picture should then appear in the post

Thank you! Have a reads list/alignment chart:

Message to Mafia:

While I won't accept a tadpole if given it, I want to be clear that buddying works on me, and I will likely townread you for it. Do with that info as you will.

Dip is a strong townread for calling me Absolute Exalted.

[BunnyGo]

Apologies for my brief absence, friends. I was waylaid by a particularly loquacious NPC who shared some fascinating tales. On a brighter note, my sidequest was a resounding success. However, it seems my path is not yet clear; I have two more sidequests to attend to before I can rejoin you all. I appreciate your patience and look forward to our continued endeavors."

So many people to policy kill and only one vote...

Ah, Ghug, surely you jest! Attacking a fellow Harper would be like singing off-key at a bard's concert—both ill-advised and likely to end in embarrassment.

[Hamilton Brian]

What's with the quick Jamie wagon right out of the gate? That's absurd.

Vecna, Sweet, Squigs...giving you three the hairy eyeball.

Hey Flum, you have... uhhhh... great hair. Yeah! Great hair! And ummm... good reads! Yeah! The greatest reads!


(did it work?)

[BunnyGo]

I do find it kind of interesting that Dip knew that the janitor role here learned the role of the target. I don't think that's usually the case here on WebDip. So either he read the whole setup and has a great memory or he has a reason to know that particular detail.

He plays games on MU now as well so there is always the chance he learned it there

Just's defense of another player seems as rare as a diamond in the rough—a testament to his loyalty and honor, regardless of his lineage.
