M89: Baldurs Gate Mafia Game Thread

[ghug]

He said if he flipped town, we'd have to spend time seeing which mafia were jumping on him to protect Damo (heavily implying he thought Damo was scum) but he didn't actually scum read Damo. So I thought he was scummy lol. He also never answered my questions about it! Alas

I feel like the main vibe from players at EOD in hindsight was lack of concern with who died out of Damo/Brian. The Flavius and Dip wagons were the flash wagon attempts though.

How are you not mentioning me? I seemed pretty motivated to kill Flum or Dip. I should think that's notable, regardless of what one concludes from that.

Yes you were weirdly obsessed with me that day lol and now dropped me at night. I still have no idea what your motive for that would be as scum but it did feel disingenuous lol. You have never see me play before so you have no idea if I'm a threat if you're scum.

Wouldn't his teammates tell him about you?

I was one of the leaders of the Hamilton wagon and was wrong rip. It felt like Brian vs. Damo for most of the day and they were always the two main wagons.

Damo declared Hamilton obvious scum and some people were annoyed by that and it kind of started it off between the two. There were a lot of people pushing 3rd wagons. Ifischl for lurking got pretty high, I was a top wagon for a bit for ??? reasons. Flavius was really flailing at the end under pressure and people didn't like that so he went up but I personally think it was town flailing. Dip was at the end but it never felt like he was in real danger.
It felt at the moment that the core of the Damo/Brian wagons were mostly locked in and firm in convictions it was other people players hopping on the third wagons until the end where it seemed really like a coin flip who would die out of Brian and Damo

I kept waiting for the good part of this post.

I have finally entered my boring era.

Was this meant for Mafia chat?

Truly — what exactly is this?

[Balki Bartokomous]

@Flum, do you know what Bona was talking about?

Lock in what?

If I read postgame that his partner warned him about me being a big threat and that he should get me killed, I would be pretty happy. I doubt that happened lol.

I assumed he had a locked in town read on me

[Balki Bartokomous]

That would tell us far more than two random people buddying up

I am confused by this post, @Flavius. I don’t see anyone advocating for “two random people buddying up.” What exactly are you trying to warn us about or protect us from here?

BRUH people keep bringing this up, there is zero chance zero chance whatsoever someone is putting a message in here and it was actually meant for mafia chat...WEBDIP AND DISCORD ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS!!!

Everyone should do the analysis on their own, and not buddy up with someone and share the responsibility or something like that

I will never forget the time Fox actually literally scum slipped by posting in the game thread a message meant for the Mafia thread. Everyone ruled it as him joking

[Fluminator]

Also I'm going on the field tomorrow for work so I'll be mostly gone Wednesday, but I should be pretty active for the Thursday portion of the day.

I know it’s my inexperience, but the more I learn about mafia mechanics, the more suspicious I am of the people who inform me about them.

Good morning, fellow peasants. I woke up early and can't get back to sleep, so I'm going to spend 20 minutes or so catching up on the night chatter here in the thread.

[Jamiet99uk]

What are you going to do, NK me?

He’s an elected Kouncillor, you never know what he might do in your name!

Good point, he could use his influence to get Darg to change Jamiet's username to JaimepEU666

I have been friends with Dargorygel for longer than Damo has been on gout medication. I trust that Darg would not listen to Damo's whining.

Ok Jamie

[Jamiet99uk]

I would strongly advise you not to shout at me.

What are you going to do, NK me?

If I only I could.

Well you're obviously scum.

Honestly very fair.

Update:
I tried to make a spreadsheet. The idea lasted about two minutes until I gave up. I am bad at spreadsheets.

Some helpful hints:

The point is to create a Process of Elimination (POE) machine. List out every possible scum team, and then find ways to eliminate (or downgrade the likelihood) teams. So you can now eliminate all teams with HB. Once we flip scum, you can eliminate all teams that do not include that person.

Identifying pairs that cannot be scum together is the best way to eliminate (or downgrade) teams from consideration. You can also do triplets, but that's slower going (but definitely useful with a 5-person mafia team).

SUMPRODUCT and COUNTIF are your friends, and be ready for nested statements (mine tend to go about 3 levels deep).

You can also do POE by finding town. Work out who is town, and the people who remain un-towned are your scum pool.

I’m just sayin…It looks to me like Bona wants to lock in a night action on Flum. Meaning Scum!Bona, Town!Flum. Though, I agree it would be crazy if this were real. It just doesn’t really feel like an actual post from a game thread.

I get your point about the fact that making that mistake would be strange, but I think the post is enough of a fish out of water to justify a discussion and not just a “Bruh.”

[Balki Bartokomous]

But is Yoyo really in this game too?
