M89: Baldurs Gate Mafia Game Thread

[BunnyGo]

Does anyone have an epi pen, I think Kak is having a seizure.

Serious take: Don't use an epipen on someone having a seizure! It won't help, and there's a (small but real) chance you could kill them.

Just let them have the seizure and move things away from them; don't put stuff in their mouth, don't give them meds, don't throw water on them. I guess you could try an exorcism, but at least that won't cause them physical harm, but seems pretty mean spirited.

I bet this was unintended. Very funny.

Hey! I worked for like 2 seconds on that bon mot!

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.

It's not for gout. (Although I do occasionally get it).

@Jamie are you also impressed by the following?



@Squigs, do you see it? Am I just overly paranoid here?

@Anyone? How is nobody confused by this?!

I guess one of the PR roles lets you force a non-participating user into the game against their will

(Tbh, if someone honestly told me that I’d unironically almost believe them

I think there's another explanation. But I'm not sure if I'm being paranoid.

The dark arts??

Vecna knew we'd need another sub; had possibly even suggested asking Balki.

[damo666]

Hello, Hamilton Brian. I am sorry you died.

I tried to get them to flip Damo.

He's obvscum as anyone can see.

I think this is an attempt at parody.

[damo666]

can you elaborate why you think damo is obvscum?

It's because of his posts.

definitely parody

[damo666]

Given that day 1 was TvT I suspect most scum sat back and let town kill town while they were off lead wagons. I therefore suggest that tomorrow we concentrate on that group of 11 although I townread Kak so that reduces it to 10. Hopefully it gets furthe reduced overnight.

PS Best wishes to our 2 subbed outs.

[Jamiet99uk]

Wait why is Balki posting in here?

@Jamie are you also impressed by the following?

WOAH

Is Vecna a wizard?! A soothsayer?

Or...

@Squigs, do you see it? Am I just overly paranoid here?

@Anyone? How is nobody confused by this?!

What are you implying?

Are you implying that Vecna knew KOTP would need to sub out, and that he could only have known that from the scum chat?

Or, are you implying something else?

[Jamiet99uk]

I think there's another explanation. But I'm not sure if I'm being paranoid.

The dark arts??

Ah.

This is indeed what you are implying.

I see.

And also you volunteered to be flipped if Hamilton flipped town.

[Yoyoyozo]

I'll just say the quiet part out loud. Mafia's best bet is to use the tadpole towards the end of the game so the weird stuff people are doing to try to draw the tadpole is a waste of time, and honestly I find it kind of distracting. :/

I’m 89.6718% sure that Tadpole can only be used until N4

My point still stands. Mafia benefit the later they use it, so spending a week gimmicking about it serves only as a distraction to actually solving the game. Also good morning!

[Yoyoyozo]

But is Yoyo really in this game too?

LOL I’m not sure if you’re directly addressing me, but since no one bothered to answer you, I am in fact playing! :)

[Kakarroto]

It is a good question.

I do not.

just convince your team not to nk me and we can dance

I am not in control of the decisions which may or may not be taken by any Town PRs with killing power.

confused? Why?

If you mean the substitute guess, Vecna made that post before EoD. If you think that Vecna had prior information of a sub being needed, then ok, the time is a bit close, so it might be possible that maf-vecna knew a sub was coming.

BUT, we all saw yoyo's post that he volunteers as a sub, on page 1. That means it is general knowledge that he will be first sub. So maf-vecna knowing a teammember is going to sub out would not expect Balki to come in.

There is a possibility, that maf-vecna knew there were two subs coming from his teammembers, thinking and guessing that for the second spot, someone else would be there, and choose Balki. But he could've chosen other players too, like Kgray.

So I think that was just Vecna posting some stuff from the past, not counting for Balki to sub in. If anything, that makes me think Vecna is more likely town, but rationally, it's just totally NAI.

Or did I overlook anything, an aspect of this situation?

???

*visibly confused noises*

no seriously, I don't understand what you are saying here, please rephrase that for me

[BunnyGo]

The dark arts??

Ah.

This is indeed what you are implying.

I see.

And? Too crazy? Or do we have a Vecna-KingoftheBalki pairing?

[Kakarroto]

Had I not been in straight meetings and not reading I'd have joined to try and flash sweet.

imagine reading all this and the only thing you take out of it and comment on is to flash wagon sweet.

what is your opinion between what happened between d&w and myself? Do you believe him? Are you of the thought I'm on to something? Is this possible mafia theatre? Are we both just town spiralling out of control?

I think D&W is crazy.

Having slept on it; I don't recall him being this out of sorts as scum. I think he's capable of trying something offbase to shake up his game, but I think the more likely answer is he's town that isn't used to not knowing what's going on and needing the patience to sleep on it. He's used to scum knowing D1.

You...I have no idea. I never have a good sense of you.

hmm, hm.

Well, reading me is a tone thing. Bona is quite good at it, usually he is right. Not always, but very often. I'll also heavy bus when I'm mafia, so technically, it's a good choice to generally sheep my reads/votes; if I'm mafia, it's likely I'm voting mafia. If I'm town, well I'm often wrong in the very early stages, but you still would vote with someone from town in that case.

[Kakarroto]

I think there's another explanation. But I'm not sure if I'm being paranoid.

The dark arts??

Vecna knew we'd need another sub; had possibly even suggested asking Balki.

So you think we have a world where two mafia subbing out, Vecna knowing this before, then guessing correctly for the second sub?

That is very unlikely. We could test that though by voting Balki tomorrow. He said before he would solve the game tonight, so he could leave us with this information, then we proceed to vote him out, confirming either he was lying or he is town, then go from there.

But as I said, very unlikely. I'd put my money on voting D&W out tomorrow

It's amazing how many posts you can make in quick succession. I never noticed before.

Why are you worried about my assessment of your information?

What's your take on D&W?
