M89: Baldurs Gate Mafia Game Thread

[Dousing]

Okay, glad that worked out. I'm caught up on the thread and trying to rapidly look at the different wagon options.

Why did you claim as you shot? I thought the point of claiming is to give your target a chance to change your mind or claim, etc.

The point of claiming is to claim the shot

It’s to let people know you made the shot?

Is it possible that Flum was a VT who received a tadpole and chose the path of Evil?

I’m currently trying to soul read the WIFOM and decide if Flum (1) tarred and feathered sweet with a bunch of tadpole talk or (2) straight up went for the signal at start of d3 and bet on himself that he wouldn’t flip before we forgot about it.

I don't understand why the majority of players seem to view this game so backwards from the way I tend to view it (not claiming I have the correct view this game, just an observation).

I never thought anything of Flum's joke, it seemed natural given how D1 went. The theory surrounding it makes no sense to me. From my POV Vecna has pretty much conjured this connection from thin air.

However, I feel like this entire game I've been playing pretty "scummy" and for some reason people have been Towning me. Every other game I am pretty good at solving and I work hard and everyone scumreads me. Anyways, while I think this tadpole nonsense is specifically a horrible reason to scumread me, I think my performance, other than my votes, has been incredibly poor, so I suppose in the end it's fair.

bro i openly asked you " do you not realise glum is potentially trying to frame you here"

I’ve been thinking a lot about the exchange between bunny and flum during (what I think was) early 3N where bunny didn’t see a flip on the bot and flum tried to railroad him for it. I think bunny not seeing the flip is NAI (or honestly maybe slightly town), but I’m trying to figure out why flum would hyper focus on that. I’m pretty sure it was just as a distraction (and I’d need to see what else what was being discussed in the thread). Is that everyone else’s read on it or does it seem like scum theater?

Bro he didn't frame me. I would never consider one obvious joke post to be framing.

I disagree with that strategy, especially in a situation where the PR does not confirm alignment. Own the shot and don't give scum the chance to influence it. But in this case it's also worse because I was being scumread by several people, so it was just likely to lead to a bunch of time spent discussing if I was fake claiming or if I was scum trying to claim for town points, or whatever.

I think he was trying to kill Bunny.

The point of claiming is to claim the shot

It’s to let people know you made the shot?

Yeah. It’s a guaranteed way to hard claim the role. No one can contest the claim if you back it up like that. It still feels weird after all the talk of not claiming PR but that doesn’t matter considering flum flipped scum (so fox is pretty much as townclear as it gets now).

Ditto. It could be scum foxy shooting scum Flum but that’s a BOLD maneuver. It’s gonna be a bit of time before I consider testing that theory out

Not the way I would play it, but fair play nonetheless.

It's actually straight up a bad strategy.

[Dousing]

Either way I don’t like how fast the Demon wagon built up.

I still believe Yoyo is a better target. Although, I could see myself voting for Will.

Fwiw, my vote on demon is strictly an anti-food wagon vote. Maybe I’ve missed something but demon has felt absent pretty much the entire game so it’s hard to really scum read them

[President Eden]

Food is actually playing the game

Easy choice

[worcej]

Food is an unclaimed PR but super obviously is a PR. Scum would stfu and never post anything from the GT.

Demon is definitely a valid count-wagon to ensure we don't kill an almost certainly town.

[Dousing]

Food has three votes in them.

They’re barely a wagon at this point

If you could’ve vote for Demon who would you vote for?

Scum could also edit it and post only useless/inaccurate information.

Do you mean Fox’s strategy was bad?

[Foxcastle]

I don't think it's Demon. But I think it might be Worcej.

##VOTE WORCEJ

@Vecna:

Are we happy flipping DemonRHK?
