Mafia round 93: hot potato! (game thread)

[bo_sox48]

I want to say sorry that I missed the time again, I just finished writing and as usual I keep them close to EoN so my thoughts are fresh. I didn't want to miss it, like before, and for a moment I thought I was still in time but the forum loaded a bit so I'm very sorry to miss it. Wasn't my intent, and I thought I had it, even when it was very close. I guess I'm just incompetent in that way.

Sorry especially to ghug as he pointed that out last game. I swear I don't do this intentional

Why does this post feel personally remorseful over the nightkill

[Kakarroto]

also btw loving the flavor

and @Red could you please share your thoughts now? if you're the day kill and you're town we won't have access to what you think and it's useful to have it no matter what

it's true i don't want to get eliminated again. it seems my strategy does not align with the consensus of doing random shit in the beginning

you could start sharing your thoughts about the game then. Currently I know that you don't really want to get involved in the discussion and have no real idea who you think is mafia or town, or your best guesses.

what does that do? we just vote off somebody random anyways

when was the last time a mafia was voted off in the first round

ghug has scolded Kak before for this, seems genuine to me

[damo666]

it happens and counter intuitively it usually ends up with a scum victory

##call GM

What happens to potatoes if the holder fails to send instructions?

Apart from a warning, I would have it get tossed at random to someone (excluding the person who forgot to send it). This would effectively be the same process as what happens if it gets tossed to someone who died.

not quite. Usually people try to get it right, even if it is for weak reasons or gut feelings on D1. But that in itself brings information.

And we build on these information, and the more we get the better we become. If it were just totally random we all could just throw a coin, and then vote that person. But I'm pretty sure no one does that

yeah, I have a theory, that the longer mafia initially survives, the better for town is it, because when town get it right, there is a huge load of information and connections that suddenly is available.

Of course there are games where there aren't many mafia players, so that doesn't yield as much information, or games where town just doesn't get a single mafia, either by mistake or mafia just had town outmanoeuvred, but normally, when the first mafia death is on day three or four, the game gets so much clearer, and mafia's ability to hide is much decreased. And at that time, town has sharpened their will, and doesn't take the game lightly.

That's also why I like to bus early when I'm mafia, it not only disconnects to your mafia partner, it also makes it so that town gets lulled in a false sense of security, if a mafia member is voted out day one

i don't like how control v tried to switch to miminena and when it failed didn't try again nor how he didn't do much in the night

Sorry, was this during end of day? I missed this if so

Kak only voted ND day 1, ND was town therefore Kak is town. That it? Lol

[DreamTrawler]

I’m unsure of ND but I think Bunny here is a better option

Will - you ended up voting Bunny last round even after all the chaos from the Couch Potato and Sweet Potato reveals. What was the reason?

[miminena]

I think kak is lying...

i've been thinking a bit abt this post (and the rest of dw's thoughts on kak's claim), and it feels more paranoia than shading especially since the claim is easily provable, and how he tried to set up a weird artificial tie to prove it. considering this along with my other reads on him atp i would be surprised if he's scum so i'm prob locking him town today, at least for now

[Jamiet99uk]

Huh. Ghug is not who I was expecting to die. RIP.

Who did you expect?

[Jamiet99uk]

##vote red neurax

Uh why?

[Jamiet99uk]

Assumption #1: Jamie is town
Assumption #2: BunnyGo is town
Assumption #3: miminena is not lying about having had the sweet potato d1

under these assumptions, the most likely scumteam in my opinion is...
Red Neurax, foodcoats, damo666, and bozotheclown

On D1 you scumread all three of us.

Can you explain why you have done a 180 on your early reads??

[Jamiet99uk]

@D&W: if you think I am town that's okay, but it would be nice if you would apologise to me, because if I'm town you were pretty nasty yesterday.

[Chaqa]

Wait so what happens to the hot potato I gave him

Also Bo I hope you enjoy your present

...I'm pretty sure that someone who had a potato would have checked this by now and therefore chaqa is lying

All I know is the potatoes randomly activate on some night and have a 25% chance after that to explode

I assumed that happened before I passed them off? Did I kill ghug on accident ?

[DreamTrawler]

Huh. Ghug is not who I was expecting to die. RIP.

Who did you expect?

Mimi or Kaka to disrupt the information flow about the whereabouts of potatoes, or Bozo who was compiling the whereabouts of potatoes.

Thanks, fearkilling and giving a hot potato to the person coming after you is smart. See you in 46 hours when you catch up to the minimum posting and vote thresholds

I had a HP N1.

Idk about fear killing, I did think it would be funny if both you and ghug blew up potatoes at the same time
