M89: Baldurs Gate Mafia Game Thread

[Bonatogether]

This reminds me of when I was mafia and tried to get wagons on xorxes. Those were heady days.

I feel like this post should be easy to comprehend but I have no idea what you’re saying.

Xorxes was the God Emperor of Town. Basically I think Squigs is so townie that currently it is madness to scumread him unless you have some very interesting and novel argument.

But I have been in situations when I was scum and saw a very good, powerful, highly townread town and so I attacked them. I did this with xorxes I think on multiple occasions (several years ago when xorx played here I rolled mafia 3 or 4 times in a row).

This reminds me of that. Bona is scum trying to cut down the town leader.

squiggs isn't a leader of anything except the haters

Sorry, I don't quite understand what you are saying. What about the vig?

Since the vig might shoot you before you can use it, best to just use it. Especially if your thought was to save it for the day you expect to get DK’d.

ummm… did Fox slip here?

If you read the whole exchange you see Fox is explaining why scum BM would have used their power shortly after the vig shot on Day 2 in response to people arguing that BM must have been town

[Vecna]

We don't like you either if it helps.

Oh god - I gotta rush to my PC to make a meme

Nailed it.

this was hilarious at least

I was the first to vote for Balki, which lead to the only scum we've caught.

Husband: Honey, I have some bad news.

Wife: Whats that?

Husband: Dammon died, and.. now I cant transform the owlbear cub into a ferocious armored ally at the end of the game.

Wife: Okay, do you want steak or chicken for dinner.

Husband: Whatever Flavius you wanna Aetius is fine with me.



FlaviusAetius has died, he was Dammon of the Harpers, a Vanilla Town

Why the FUCK did you flip Flavius?

He seemed town to me.

Explanations and apologies, please.

[Bonatogether]

I also am a little meh on Dousing and Colby, mostly for them being just OMGUS'ing but I'll give them time to improve.

I know Monarch can participate and assume she's busy irl. Timezones also are rough as fuck for her and she misses EOD phases all the time.

Honestly I feel like even IF she was more active, that EoD phase thing is still going to make her not as active as we'd like. Its going to be hard to get a read on her no matter what

100% - I've fallen victim to that and she usually gets killed off for that. It's too easy to default to and that's why I'm a little turned off on by yoyo going that way.

At best, it's 16-4 now (no tadpole). At worst it's 15-5 (tadpole consumed). We're at a balanced started game still so I don't have an urgency to policy kill lurkers.

@worcej is food a brainbomb style player normally?

Ezio while you are here can you explain your bona scumread as well? Apologies if I missed it.

I haven't posted it. It's also my weakest read of the three.
Bona's votes d1 were awful: going from squiggs to ghug and not ending on a real wagon.

Bona's EoD2 is exactly how I would expect a nervous scum to play it, trying to both distance from a teammate, while also not actively pushing for them to die.

Went onto Balki at first, then, once the wagons were finally tied, flipped off onto Dip.
Then, at the very end of the day, voted Balki after he was (I'd argue) already sealed as the daykill.

I also really hate his case on squiggs. It doesn't feel like a real case. Bona admits it's probably built on OMGUS at the start of it, which also doesn't sit right with me. This final bit is not particularly alignment indicative though because it's what I expect from Bona. Still wanted to include it though.

whats a brainbomb style player?

Brainbomb posts a shitton, huge walls of crazy conspiracy theories, fakeclaims, and is just *always* wrong. It's astounding how often he can be wrong and keep it up.
It looks like flailing to me, and flailing is something I associate with scum.
Food looks like he's doing that today. I'm feeling so weird about it b/c D1 and D2 he didn't seem to be doing that, so I'm asking if this is him putting on a show of returning to his "normal" playstyle, or not.

brain is always 100% on the dot 24 hours before he dies

If you see any issues let me know

What the fuck was this?

Flavius was not scum.

What the fuck was the basis for this wagon, and which scum were on it??

Fun fact:

This is the first time Jamie gives a read on Flavius

[Squigs44]

When Jamie wasn't around for end of day 2 his first post was saying he saw there was a gladiator fight/etc. And then he caught up.

Today he appears to have decided to catch up without reading the flip first?

As Flav becomes more unhinged I become more paranoid that hes just really good at channeling chaos as a wolf

Yeah he’s reaaaallly stuck on the spreadsheet. I do wonder if he is openwolfing.

just as the flav wagon took off, these two people start a pivot to voting for flav. neither actually do, except that food votes for self-pres at the very last instant

[Bonatogether]

##Vote flav

Fine, have your kill

what a gamer

So scum Squigs gives himself a viable way to jump onto the town flav wagon, then decides against it and goes all in on saving Flav with a food wagon?

You keep summarizing my gameplay as if it's scummy, but then like don't think through what I would actually gain from it. Like you're recycling scumhunting tactics from past games but forgetting the context of the actions and the alignments of people involved.

[BunnyGo]

highly disappointed you guys actually killed flavius. amateurheur

Highly disappointed someone took the tadpole

[Squigs44]

Also when I made that post I was voting you, which was the top wagon. So any angle where you're saying i was trying to give a pivot off my vote to avoid voting a scummate or something also wouldn't make sense

[BunnyGo]

i guess noone claimed the necro use on ghug?

Nah. Either ghug was town or scum. Either way we will find out later.

[BunnyGo]

Sorry, I don't quite understand what you are saying. What about the vig?

Since the vig might shoot you before you can use it, best to just use it. Especially if your thought was to save it for the day you expect to get DK’d.

ummm… did Fox slip here?

Umm. I’m not seeing it.

Just a heads up
References to hanging, lynching or swinging people are at this point prohibited. There was a ruling earlier in the game by Kouncil that the expression swing the subs be immediately banned from use.

Just letting you know, saying you want to hang someone is probably gonna be under that same umbrella
