M89: Baldurs Gate Mafia Game Thread

[TheMadMonarch]

There is day chat from day 1, they 100% did it this way, remember how everyone in the signup thread was like ohhh this is such a unique activity requirements? Guranteed mafia took that in stride and designated someone. Again as I explained to Balki who also thought I was crazy the mafia likely put people who were COMFORTABLE being in those roles. Someone who usually lurks? Put them in the designated mafia lurker role, no biggie, they'll blend. Someone who yaps a lot? Put them in the designated mafia yapper, no biggie they'll blend. Someone wo analyzes everything? No biggie, put them ind esignated mafia analyzer. Someone who skates by with ltitle to no actual input? No biggie put them there.

Thats how I'd do it
Lurker
Skater
Analyzer
Yapper

That's 4 so either you double up, or you have someone who can be more flexible. I said from Day 1 I had this thought but I didnt want to reveal it incase mafia caught on, and changed tactics. I started talking about this A LOT Day 2, so I think there's some benefit for osmeone to go back and check out those other roles, right now I think we can focus on the lurker since people wanted to go after a lurker anyways. I just think FISCHL is the WRONG lurker to go after, and I dont like that he's been the "go-to" lurker from day 1

Hate to agree with a known Mafioso, but this is insane.

People should do their own thing. As Mafia, your goal is to look like your town self, so for someone like fisch or me, that means not posting much. Other players have it different. There is no reason to do this. You may end up with a system that looks like this, but it won't be because you designed it this way.


Town points for Flav. No team would go for this, so its clear he's not in communication with the team.

Unless, he suggested this (no way, its insane), and the team said no. So now he's sharing it here for vindication!

This is a smart take and I think giving Flav points is good. I’m not sure MM gets points though - could be a good way to fake towniness

🥲

[TheMadMonarch]

Do you know how to fix the image?

[TheMadMonarch]

@TheMadMonarch are you going to participate, please? You should sub out if you are unable to play.

I've been reading since EOD2.

I hath summoned her from her subterranean throne room. Excellent.

This is actually hilarious because my bedroom, where I play the mafia from, is mostly underground. The windows at my eye level, are at ground level outside.

I think its pretty natural for someone to start suspecting you after you suspect them

But it was cherry picking reasons when I was trying to follow up on what dip said earlier. It was never addressing my original accusation

Colby your entire reason for voting Bunny has a lot to do with YOU Im going to need something else

The primary reason was dip being suspicious of him while also nailing the balki one. Also he had voted for dip as well. Then when I brought it up it got overlooked and bunny started planting seeds against me. My thought is he was trying to get a train on me and hope no one would notice the points dip was trying to make before his death that I was trying to highlight

I have never seen a scumteam play this way.

What are you on about here?

Flavius is not a "known Mafioso" unless you are claiming knowledge that has not been shared in the thread?

[TheMadMonarch]

Around the 43## mark rn. Jamie is agreeing with me. I like that.

Balki, who died, said Flav was insane. I also think flav is insane.

[TheMadMonarch]

I like ghug wagon, but I also found myself agreeing with Dousing on page whatever-whatever about Yoyo. Could see a jump there.

[Jamiet99uk]

@MM:

Insanity is not scum indicative.

[Col7by]

Balki’s response to the duel suggests he knows he’s done

WHO BALKI THOUGHT WAS TOWN AT EOD2(and therefore knew he was going to die, and these reads would be suspected as mafia)
Dip, Squigs, Bunny, Vecna, foodcoats, DemonRHK, Flum

WHO BALKI THOUGHT WAS MAFIA AT EOD2(and therefore knew he was going to die, and these reads would be suspected as town)
Will, Yoyo, Dousing, Ghug, MadMonarch

I’m ngl this is such low hanging fruit. Like Balki knowing they were gonna die and flip scum wouldn’t make this post and throw their mafia under the bus by claiming them as town. I assume there is a mix of one or two scum in the whole list with some left out. I don’t think it gives us as much info as I’d like to give deep analysis

[TheMadMonarch]

@MM:

Yeah? I gave flav points for it?

[Col7by]

I’m also not a huge fan that flum is on a bunny wagon with me for the reasons they are. I think the whole bot argument seems very fickle in general. The fact the flum is so insistent on it reads more town to me, thinking they had a “gotcha” moment and no one is listening. I would think scum would be like okay this is getting me heat let me get off of it quick. The one other thing I’ve been trying to read and understand is the only reason to claim last night that something happened to you would be if you got saved the doctor or if you destroyed the tadpole right? Like fair those are two good reasons but if the tadpole was eaten or whatever the person can just lie so I think this has some purpose but maybe not THAT beneficial.

[TheMadMonarch]

Alright gang. I'm going to bed. I will see y'all after EOD.

Best of luck catching those scumbos, or whatever it is you do at EOD I never been.

Analysing Balki's "reads" is likely to be pure WIFOM.

You also called him a "known Mafioso" which does not make any sense whatsoever.

(But basically… circular reasoning ad infinitum…)

[Yoyoyozo]

Yoyo, what's your alignment?

Also, I think about our hug in Washington DC all the time. Also, I think I owe you a pizza.

Weird…@yo-yo what’s this all mean to you?

It means mind your business. Balki, you naughty man, I think about you too. I think we settled on falafel, but I will say that the hug left more to be desired. No flowers?

[Yoyoyozo]

Flav is playing with a completely different framework than the rest of us but not necessarily a scumslip TMI kind of framework, just a series of weird assumptions, like MadMonarch is going to sub, the mafia team has a designated lurker, etc.

It makes it really hard to follow Flavs logic because he has so many assumptions that the rest of us aren't making.

Well dont you think thats a GOOD thing? Someone coming in with a different perspective and whatnot can totally make people think of new ideas that they didnt think of before

I tend to think this is a good thing. If we always go based on what is most likely, we’ll always be surprised by reality because that not the way statistics work, especially if we’re building cases using logic from other people’s logic.
