M89: Baldurs Gate Mafia Game Thread

Also, thinking about it, I think aaro is right to consider Foxcastle's votes

@Aaro I would like to state for the record that I previously *explicitly* said I'm not town-reading Foxcastle.

Wait when did I question his votes?

[Dousing]

##VOTE Dousing

Why are you vote flipping so much you voted dousing, foxcastle, then back to dousing all with zero explanation

Genuinely thought there was a second vote against me there

[Bonatogether]

If you voted for someone without understanding the case behind them, then that might be one of the most anti-town things Ive ever heard

did i say i did? i stand by my votes

Im saying people asking whats the case is a GOOD thing, not a BAD thing.

my point is that it makes the whole thing dumb as rocks - if there's a clearly laid out case, voting is taking a position on that case. this d1, people spent more time arguing about if a case existed than about the actual cases. this is posting without positioning, and it's probably difficult to discern anything from it atm. (inb4 someone says 'bona says no rereading! bona says no rereading!' that's not what i'm saying. i'm saying that there's an extra layer of shit compared to normal)

I see there is this big FoxCastle argument, and I would like to see results from FoxCastle's spreadsheet before any suspicions are laid upon him, I think it'll tell us a lot. But I think its about time we recieved them. @FoxCastle?

strongly strongly dislike this post

[aarodactyl]

does a town bungo spend him time arguing over interpretations of rules that cannot possibly matter to any living player? unfortunately, probably yes.

In the nicest way possible, I think that’s at least half of why he signs up to play mafia.

Unpopular opinion, I like how Bunny plays mafia. It's like they *GASP* are enjoying the game instead of whining.

Oh for those of you that don’t know, I’m allowed to make fun of bunny.

SORRY I falsely attributed what Squigs was saying to you

(Maybe that's why I didn't remember anything about Squigs earlier lol)

I'm here and ready to rumble. I have not caught up but that's okay. Has anything major happened that's actually worth reading?

Wow look at that wagon spread

[Bonatogether]

Foxcastle cooked and made the best argument I've seen this game so far.

I *wish* I could reward Fox's efforts by townreading him but this seems more like annoyance/self-preservation rather than townie behavior; scum Foxcastle and town foxcastle could've made this post.

What about his argument spoke to you?

How did it tell you something about this game we're playing?

It's not the argument just the effort.

It's similar vibes to this meme:

It's the effort that's astonishing not the end product

effort is not towny

I mean I literally said I'm not convinced by Balki. I'm just trying to get all the people going "ooh Fox made a cool case" to actually give an opinion on the content of Balkis case instead of just glossing over it because you put in some work digging up quotes. I want them to clear you because they believe you've done stuff this game, not because Balki was wrong in previous games. Or maybe they revisit the case and find something to follow up on

If you write some code, and it gives the same output regardless of the data you feed it, do you say "we really need to consider that last batch of data on its own," or do you start to wonder if the program is broken?

You pointed to the bad code and so I asked people to ignore the code and look at the data itself to draw their own conclusions. Are you advocating we don't give reads on you because Balkis case would contaminate those reads or something?

Obviously not. I'm frustrated at the situation.

I still haven't forgiven him for that

[FlaviusAetius]

I disagree with ghug on enough things that I don't think he's scum... probably...

huh? why does that matter, you guys could just be reading the situation differently...or he's working towards an ulterior motive...

[Bonatogether]

I don’t feel strongly enough about it push a wagon right now. Bunny just asked who my strongly scum lean was. I’ve also only had 1 full day off work since may 20th, so I honestly don’t have the energy to do so either.

??? How did I act weird during EOD, you werent THERE for it and voted me anyways. You and Will were part of the reason the flash wagon even happened, two people who voted me and werent there for the end of the day to even defend your vote. It made me a viable wagon without bringing in evidence...

If you read what I wrote, I said that you were acting weird 30-60 minutes before eod, not that you were doing it up until eod (which tbh was kind of a blur when I had to reread several hours of posts when I was out of meetings yesterday). And honestly, all I’ve been saying is that I scumlean you.

@dousing this post is an example of what I meant about it feeling like their reactions are performative. But I’ve also never played with them and they wouldn’t be the last person to reaction strongly when accused of being even a bit scummy.

SO TRUE AARO

[Squigs44]

As much as I'd want to see Jamie's reaction to me voting him I'm gonna change my vote seeing as EoD will be rather near by the time I wake up.

##vote Ghug

1. It's a reaction to his vote on me
2. I want to bring more attention to Ghug's scumminess.

Did I miss the part where you explained why ghug is scummy?

We also found out Meme is a figher/Monk gestalt with Vow of Poverty.

Tell me why you're frustrated. I'm a safe space to talk to

can someone use small sentences to explain this coding metaphor

I dont think its a BAD thing people are cautious about their votes, I agree people need to take posistions; im FINE with that, BUT Id like them to at least understand the arguments behind them first...

[Bonatogether]

Yes...and? What does this mean to you?



Reads to me like "no God Thread". Maybe some "unspoiled environment" but no "God Thread".

But if there's Circle of the Moon, then I doubt he'd allow all the ghosts to talk to the one that's sent back...
