MAFIA 92 - The return of the Witchfinder General [GAME THREAD]

[bozotheclown]

##CALL GM: Can the witch action be RBed?

Do you mean the Witch's day action to select a target?
Or do you mean the Witch's night action to redirect their target's night action?

Let me answer for both.

For the first, no.
For the second, potentially, yes.

##CALL GM: Does that mean that if the witch is RBed, they can't redirect an action that night? Is there some exception? What would a witch be told if they targeted a VT? What would the witch be told if they targeted the mafia goon?

[ND]

chop chop Jamiet. Answer this man's questions because I got some questions for bozo next.

[brainbomb]

dont think theres a ton of value in speculating why bunny was killed. Were not even certain if the mafia was in control of their own kill.

Both kills do smell like simple PR hunting with killing the people that were trying to be under the radar

This was said the first post the day after being roleblocked. If vecna was 3p he would know the mafia kill was not altered. Im wondering if this is sincere actually.

[brainbomb]

I think we will have to hammer ND if he tries to turn today into obstruction of the people actually solving.

[ND]

btw for @everyone with a functioning brain. Everything Brainbomb says has to be taken with an asterisk.

He is going to deliberately try to confuse the game after his epic S-Tier level meltdown last night where he confessed to being the MAFIA Lie Detector.

[ND]

oh look at that another anti-town suggestion from Brain Boy.

Hammer the day before Vecna has a chance to disclose additional information.

Great suggestion Mafioso.

If the Witch selects a target with an action available, and the Witch is then roleblocked while trying to redirect that action, they would be roleblocked, and they would be told "You were roleblocked".

If the Witch selects a target with an action available, and the Witch's target is then roleblocked while the Witch is trying to redirect them, then the action would be roleblocked, and both the Witch AND the enchanted person would be told "You were roleblocked".

If the Witch targets a VT, they are told their target has no powers for them to redirect.

I've sort of answered the last part before, but, if the Witch targets a Mafia Goon, they are told their target has a killing ability. They can redirect the kill, but *only* if the Mafia Goon is the one performing the kill.

[ND]

if you hammer, you are anti-town. Simple as that.

[brainbomb]

The interactions D3 between vecna and RHK are insteresting once vecna is intoxicated and asks rhk if hes nervous. Or in that case Bervous. It maybe could be vecna picked rhk end of d2 and then realized rhk was a roleblocker and then put the peices together that rhk had roleblocked him.

But what makes no sense on that is if vecna was a witch he can just redirect rhks roleblock to somewhere else and not even have to deal with it

The desperation is pretty unflattering. Were killing you today regardless.

[ND]

Your nuts

[brainbomb]

Your nuts

Deez nuts

[brainbomb]

Also wouldnt it be you’re? Mr english professor

[ND]

I don't teach English man lol

[ND]

add that fact to your meta commentaries and histories of the mafia community, k?

[brainbomb]

Reading a bunch of snippets of Bozo's iso with the little time I have.

I think his and Ghugs way of analyzing my behaviour surrounding D&W feels pretty towny, in that it has just the right level of towny hedge/suspicion while ruling it most often will come from town.

This is interesting that vecna chose to push ghug but not bozo. He says several times that bozo has a scumtell that he hasnt yet displayed.

[ND]

Idk Brain's partner is either Spirit or Bozo. Probably Bozo, but Spirit is pretty quiet.

I'll check back later to see if there are any more disclosures.

Either way, we nailed Brainbomb. Just got to figure out the partner and we are golden. Got it to a 50/50 rn, not bad.

That's why they call me Nathan "the game solver" Detroit.

You argued against meta stating that you should be playing the game here and now. But like anything in this world, a failure to understand history bears risk of repeating its mistakes. I am the community historian and while meta isnt the only answer, and data isnt the only answer; people cannot escape their tendencies and habits. Especially town players are methodical and habitual in their practices. Sure it takes on new forms and is ever evolving but at its core town players are curious and hungry for knowing something. Scum
Players are just hungry to see another day and be left alone. And the way in meta most scum players do this is by doing nothing most of the time
And ending up low posting, lambasting and trying to find a victim.

Youve basically met all those benchmarks.

[brainbomb]

I think your strategy here has been all about trying to seem reasonable, and when you die it makes it look like this was all scum theatre. And that probably only happens if youre actually just the mafia goon, so now I just need to find who you are teamed with and its probably not bozo unless hes playing a high tier scum game.

As far as I can tell, Vecna is one of:

1. 3P witch who mistakenly thinks he can still win by claiming

2. 3P warlock who is trying to get a prediction correct

3. mafia trying to out the 3P

4. VT performing a reaction test
