M89: Baldurs Gate Mafia Game Thread

[sweetandcool]

It took Fox 33 minutes to make his meta case discrediting Balki.

Not impossible, but impressively speedy.

This supports the notion that Fox had it in his grudge folder. That is, this stuff from years ago was so seared in his mind he was able to find it relatively quickly, or he literally had some of this stuff saved or something.

Alternatively, it could be part of a coordinated plan with Balki.

Here I would post a detailed case, but not doing that this game probably.

I'm not impressed with Fox's day, and his love for voting Dip is

I think he is Mafia, but of course it's possible I'm wrong.

Then again, I'm 100% so far so maybe y'all will listen.

Well, I suppose claim after night. Or if under wagon pressure? Because they are Townclear unless CC.

Again…you’ll have to walk me slowly through your reasoning because I think you’re just wrong here.

I'm ghug and I must begrudgingly agree with Bunny.

I thought about it more and I agree. I wasn't thinking about basic strategy.

I really didn't want to dispel the magic for BunnyGo, but in order to clear this up: I had ChatGPT write a python script that scanned the past games on the bot to identify which ones Balki and I had been in together. It was the work of minutes, including having to pivot to searching the txt pages rather than the HTML pages due to the program running into SSL issues at first. From there, it was a simple matter of copying in the bot search URL that looks for Balki* talking about Fox*, updating the game number, and then finding the quotes that made my point.

Always good to consider basic strategy when discussing basic strategy.

Can you make us a new Mafia bot?

That would be treason.

Also, ChatGPT can code small, one-off things with a little prompting, but the minute you try to make anything biggish, it gets dysfunctional.

Holy shit. I might try writing this myself with ChatGPT tonight instead of catching up.

What do you mean "instead of." The point is that ChatGPT can do that in minutes and you still have time to catch up.

Your thoughts at the time you posted it

Pretty much an empty head.

Looking for ammo, scumbunny?

[Dousing]

(1) He has this take on Fluminator and the tadpole early on and then much of his day is about that thing. Just feels like he may be using Flum/tadpole as a crutch for engagement rather than showing much curiosity or interest in the rest of the game. Then says without trying to be ironic: "I feel like we’re spending 90% of our energy talking about the tadpole. Is there a chance we’re that the tadpole is a bit of a red herring?"

[You know when you write something semi-extensive and then hit send... but it doesn't send for some reason? That happened for me the first time II made this post (just wanted to share)]

Deadass, I never actually made that connection until Balki pointed it out lol. It's kinda funny when I think about it. Then again I disagree with that statement.

If you look at my D1 you'll see the following:

3 - Posts about the tadpole (& the last two were made because Flum engaged me in conversation

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

##vote Fluminator
*snip*

Love the compliment, but I wasn’t talking about the tadpole being accepted/rejected
*snip*

Tbh, I have no clue what your point is. BOTH mafia and town know that the tadpole could be rejected. Classic WIFOM; you’re reading far too deep into the “why does person X know this information that is clearly defined in the setup for everyone to see??????”-type thinking

------
3 - Posts about FlaviusAetius (in the context of the tadpole [but that's very different from talking about the tadpole])

If you think the case [ABOUT THE TADPOLE] is a weaker one, what do you think of Aetius sheeping it 15 pages later?

I mean… I didn’t make an illogical argument. Besides, if you have to listen to someone, I’d listen to the smartest person in the room ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also I put a portion of that post in red so that might’ve caught their eye

------
1 - post defending Sweet

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! *snip*

*snip*

Sweet isn’t actually lying, he is consistently anti-throwing/unplesantness

The first example I can think of is our first game together when Sweet voted KoalaAttack because Koala voted for themselves (& sweet was a town PR that game).

***I’m not saying that the anti-Jamie wagon isn’t mafia-led but (at least for Sweet) it’s not COMPLETELY out-of-the-blue***

It's a shame bc nobody really paid attention to this post
------
2 - posts shading sweet, Vecna, and Squigs

*snip*

*snip*

If I *had* to change my vote rn though… I’d say there’s AT LEAST one mafia in Vecna, sweetandcool, or Squigs44

Why are these three grouped up? [mid question IMO]

(At the time) they all voted for Jamie in quick succession

-----
My vote switch to Damo

Most if not all of them. Just read them.

##vote damo666

The rest is just shitposting or misc

Why?

MadMonarch is likely also scum, that’s why!

Hmm...noting food's comment.

Was hoping to learn you're actually thinking and hunting rather than just posting sh**.

Sadly it seems you're just scum spamming.

This response was not towny.

[Dousing]

These last few posts (and these next few posts) are ironic bc I just talked about how I'm pro-brevity

Look, I'm a fairly hypocritical player. I don't think it matters/nor do I care bc I own it.

Also not being hypocritical and just sticking to one main line is a scum-tell

[BunnyGo]

Here's my theory: Damo is scum. Foodcoats slipped up an crossposted his "WOOO" to the wrong thread and then tried to play it off. Foodcoats is now bussing Damo to further cover his tracks.

NK foxcastle

Oh shit nooooooo!!!!!

wtf is this?
