M89: Baldurs Gate Mafia Game Thread

[FlaviusAetius]

Dousing defending himself from Balki during the night, after Balki died seems kinda interesting

Definetly seems out of th eoridnary, I even came to Dousing's defense there and Balki is mafia, so its not like Balki's entire argument was already discredited, yet he defends himself anyways...
Preempting any attacks? Is Dousing about to do something sus?

[sweetandcool]

I think thats false we tag teamed flum D1 and you seemed very excited then, we even had a wagon going and were actively trying to find information on Flum to get the wagon to be te most successful, then it all fell apart when people joined us before we could. Werent you also anti damo tho? So you are actually 2/3

Oof just went back you actually voted HB, so wdym 2nd one? You were just correct on the Balki vs. Dip thing, which...13 people were.

If you looked closer I did not want to vote Ham, but I did not want a tie and it was clear only Ham and damo were options.

I townread Ham.
I was iffy on damo, but before EoD1 I concluded he was a PR.
I townread Kak, but thought his reads were awful.
I defended Dip hard from beginning to end.
I scammed Balki most of D2.

Yes, I am fire.

You were wrong on me though

Good point, maybe a Flum wagon is what we need D3.

[sweetandcool]

This is my PR:

Eldritch Knight: once per game, choose another player, and the wagon must be you vs them. If you activate this it will be announced, you must submit this action before the final 30 minutes of a day phase.

If brain didn't already make this clear, only me and balki can be daykilled today.

he can still be scum right? PR roles are possible for both factions

the appearance of this slot at this time with this post is also highly suspicious.

Not really. I also had that thought despite Towning Dip. Some people were assuming Dip being a PR meant he was Town, so it was good and natural that some people like fisch would set the record straight.

[FlaviusAetius]

I was gonna disagree, but seeing ##vote balki self vote I changed my mind.

I doubt town Balki self votes.

Contriving a reason to get on the winning wagon?

It was still 10-9 at this point but I feel like Balki was the heavy favorite.

I disagree with this assessment. The wagons were 10-9 with Balki in the lead, but Balki was self voting at the time. With me voting it makes it 11-9
Assuming Balki switches back, it would still only be 10-10. My vote essentially only tied it, with 5 minutes left in the phase. If I vote dip, the EoD wagons might have flipped.

Foxcastle and Bona both voted after me and explicitly stated the only reason they did so was to avoid the tie.
Here's foxcastle:
"↑Vecna: "we need a bigger gap so it cant be tied"
UGH

@@VOTE BALKI
"

and here's bona:

"@@vote balki

tie avoidance, prefer the other kill
"


If I'm on Dip, that doesn't happen.

Trueee Ezio could have saved Balki here, and Balki was townread by a BUNCH of people, A LOT of people thought it was TvT, no way a mafia strat would be to take down Balki when he could have been saved. Ezio is a town

damo was not a PR

Yes, but he was Town, as I deduced.

Stop copying me.

You really agree with that take?!

its worth noting that if the battlemaster is scum, the votes after D&Ws dual was engaged wont tell us anything. In that case they wouldve known that a vote for D&W is better to look more towny on the flip.

I think Balki was genuinely trying to stay alive, so I don't think mafia knew

If Mafia activated the Battle Master power then this point is moot. Balki was a dead man walking no matter what.

yeah, im still wondering if he was attempting to achieve a no kill abd have dip be the #2 (if that was mechanically even possible)

I'm 100% Harper confirmed

Why do you think that?

You think nobody would bus?

Look Ghug, Fluminator is breaking the rules by having a profile picture that is directly connected to the flavour of the game. He should have been forced to change it before the game commenced!

(I'm joking).

[sweetandcool]

Balki tried "solving" when the duel started. Spreading his stink. Not trying to survive.

[Vecna]

TR; squig, ezio, snc, flavius, dousing

suspicious; bunny, bono, jamiet, fox

forgetting many names. its all a bit muddy

A fell wind rustles through the moon-silvered necropolis. Skeletal fingers claw the earth and the restless dead awake…

HamiltonBrian: “Hmm ... what would those fungus people taste like, I wonder... would they make a good lager?”

Kakarroto: “Hey, brainbomb, what if I make a new character, Alleria Watersong, half-elf, mage, Queen of Covendale, travelling with her brother Vereece on a diplomatic mission, can I join the game again?"

brainbomb: "Absolutely not."

Kakarroto: "But I have her stats and fifty pages of background story and illustration pictures in all different kinds of poses already prepared! Please, I want to vote out ghug!”

brainbomb: "I said no!"

Kakarroto: “What if I vote out Jamie or lfischl?”

Diplomacy&Warfare: "Just give it up. You’re dead, why even follow this game anymore? Besides, it’s really Vecna who’s scum."

HamiltonBrian: "Pretty sure sweet is town, but Bunny’s reaction to him is strange… Bunny could be mafia."

Kakarroto: “Of course sweet is town! He’s a deadeye, alright. Bona, fox, Vecna, RHK… Squiggs probably all town, too.”

damo666: "I can see scum!ghug, but I think bona should be next. Can’t be arsed to read so many pages, though. Brian, what did you say about mushroom lager?”

Kakarroto: "Noooo, bona can't be an Illithid, he has to be a harper! I explained it in my background story!"

HamiltonBrian: "What does your background story say about the taste and nutritional value of fungus people?"

Kakarroto: "You should really think about making a character from the underground. Drow, maybe, or Duergar."

HamiltonBrian: "No thank you, I don't want to get voted out again purely for what my character looks like.”

damo666: "Did anybody see Balki?”

Brainbomb: “Mushroom people don’t have to slumber uneasily unless they choose to…”

HamiltonBrian: “I changed my mind, Vecna is probably scum. He tastes like a mushroom, too. Or maybe Flum.”

Brainbomb: “You’re all dead! Shutup!!!”

The sun rises and the spirits return to their uneasy slumber…

##GM STUFF
Steve (staring at a wall): I am not sure that people really exist.
Steve’s Brain: I am not sure that YOU exist.
Steve’s Other Brain: This whole world inside a game is… tempting.
Steve: Tempting for what? I enjoy my real life outside of my laptop.
Steve’s Brain: You mean in your desktop?
Steve’s Other Brain: Or your phone?
Steve: I don’t play on my phone. Although…
Steve’s Brain: Why don’t you think people exist?
Steve: I did not say they do not exist. I said that I am not SURE! You have the logic and attention to detail of a webDipMafia player.
Steve’s Other Brain: A newbie or a veteran?
Steve: Do veterans have better weapons?
Steve’s Other Brain: They have more of their lives accumulated sitting in the basement on the computer…
Steve: So do THEY exist?
Steve’s Brain: As long as they are on the internet…
Steve: I am not sure that people exist.

Nothing happens to break Steve out of his reverie.

DAY 3 has begun.

YOU MAY NOW POST

So somebody got tadpoled huh? I'll check the doc to see if there is another mech explanation but probably tadpole.

I'm offended it wasn't me ):
