M89: Baldurs Gate Mafia Game Thread

what even is an anchor post

Something they can use down the line to prove their mindset if it gets questioned down the road.

that's fake

That's my point - those opinions being echoed out here are probably bullshit and I don't like it.

For once, I can strike first with our typical bullshit voting each other

wise worcej warbles widely, truthfully

In hotel room now, turning in. Here's hoping there isn't 20 pages tonight...

[FlaviusAetius]

Jeezum crow; how are we up this many pages already?

Yea its hard for me even to keep up with all of this Im only on page 12 .-.

[FlaviusAetius]

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

Snipping considered harmful.

Why is it harmful, ok I wont do it since so many ppl liked your post .-. but bruh it floods the chat with uselessness, people are gonna skip it, and miss what IM actually trying to get across

[FlaviusAetius]

Trust me Dip do not chase postcounts

I assume you have a story behind this? Do tell...

In Jamie’s 3P game recently I chased postcounts and got to 1000. It just fuels apathy and a willingness not to read any of your posts

I agree, your posts should actually be fruitful to the conversation, and not just posting to post

[ghug]

And you, dear ghug, are usually able to recognize my membership of the Harpers. It is as clear as the waters of the Moonwell.

However, Bona defending your honor is a surprising twist in this tale. And as it draws late, and the strong wine has flowed...perhaps I have been too hasty in my response. I shall remember that Harpers are deliberate.

I shall withdraw from this battle with both our honors intact, and go for a more obvious target.

##vote sweet

i'm not defending ghug

ARE YOU THE VILE KNAVE WHO HAST CAST THE SPELL OF CONFUSION UPON ME?! WAS MY MEAD POISONED?! SPEAK CLEARLY FOR IT IS LATE, AND I AM DRUNK.

I'm starting to suspect that Bunny doesn't drink.

[FlaviusAetius]

Hey Kak I have overtaken you in posts

congrats, neither do I use the bot, nor do I strive to be top poster on count

I do, however, like if my characters/words per post are one of the highest. That's usually a sign that I have much to say about different subjects inside the game. Or write a lot of flavour. Both a positive.

Or you do long analytical posts that you can proofread easily instead of stream of consciousness posting or back and forth discussion which can be much more insightful

I think its good for a little bit of both, from different people. Some people are just better at that long analytical posts, while others are better at responding to things in the moment, its also just a playstyle thing. Let people play how they want to play I say :shrugs:

[FlaviusAetius]

Right, but Squiggs implicitly claims it's in the setup, which he clearly hasn't read.

Maybe he assumed or something idk. But I think it was pretty clearly stated in the signup that there would be 5 mafia, so this isnt really that big of a deal bro

Plenty of people don't pay attention to the singnup thread beyond confirming.

How can you tell you needed to confirm without paying attention to the sign up thread? This doesnt make any sense, everyone here at least perused it to check up on the game, the start time etc, they should have seen the 5 person mafia team, I suspect anyone who didnt >.>

[FlaviusAetius]

who *says* they didnt

1. It's not that hard to scroll.
2. Fucked up quotes are annoying.
3. I like to be able to read the context immediately rather than just the bit you decided to showcase.
4.. Dip (I think?) kept annoyingly telling me not to quote entire posts in a game recently and I did not appreciate being told what to do.

[FlaviusAetius]

@Flavius what is your opinion of D&W after putting you firmly in 'lawful good' on his alignment chart? Do you think there are some mistakes on it? If so, which ones?

I havent seen the latest verison of his chart, but I did see that. I was waiting to see it again to comment on it. I'm actually surprised ngl, I thought FOR SURE he was going to put me on Chaotic for how much I post. He said originally that for him Lawful > Chaotic when it comes to trusting opinions, but still seems WEIRD that he'd put me there. Not saying I suspect him being mafia over it, but I definetly dont get good vibes from it. Lets just say he's in my mafia box

Ok here's my compromise;
If there's a mammoth post I'll say I snipped it in the original message and only want to respond to a particular part; people can go back and click the arrow(which I just discovered and love BTW) to find the rest of the context, everything else no snipping from me

[FlaviusAetius]

its only a matter of time before mafia starts instructing their players to ask about the number of scum now. It wouldnt even surprise me if thats exactly what just happened to HB.

Since when is our boy HB actually concerned about the setup?

See originally I was going anyone who asks how many mafia there are, no way their town. But now half the people here have done it so I have no idea bruh read the signup thread, it had it there .-. its still so sus that when it was right and where you confirmed you didnt see it being said...willfull ignorance or a mafia strategy either way I still suspect and Im keeping a list

[FlaviusAetius]

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)

Im calling it, unless something changes Fluminator gotta go for what he said here
##vote Fluminator

[FlaviusAetius]

jamiet is only overly dramatic like this when he is drunk.

your defence feels like it carries ulterior motives

oh, and he sometimes fakes it when he's mafia, because he knows everyone townreads him for his emo outbursts

so in summary him being dramatic means nothing and shouldnt be read into at all

[FlaviusAetius]

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!

Oh. Playing this whole game with ChatGPT responses is completely something bunny would do.

WHAT

[FlaviusAetius]

I'm not sure I have the patience to read Bunny's posts and translate them into actual meaningful words. Bunny if you're gonna RP, can you do non RP posts for your actual reads/insights/questions so people dont have to work twice as hard to understand you?

YES. RP is ok, but I cant understand what you are saying because AI is meant to be vague like that, and generally agreeable, it wont work and it'll take a lot more work to actually provide the context it needs to give meaningful responses. Give us the real bunny

[FlaviusAetius]

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

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

EXACTLY. Its almost as if they waited for Jamie to post to come swinging right at him. That the start of their voting...I dont like it! Its someone easy to bandwagon off of, and no need to actually put any thought into it, just what a mafia wants to do on D1
