MAFIA 48 -The Gladiator- GAME THREAD [HIDDEN]

[Chaqa]

Like I said before, I would highly encourage our Gladiator to challenge Tem so we can get two lynches in today (unless I misunderstand how the role works)

Don't we have several?

Well, *everyone* is a Gladiator, apparently, but I think we have two, yeah. Maximus and another one I forget his name

Reading setup more in detail, am surprised no-one's done any mechs discussion at all this game so far (not that I mind, obviously, since it's not my thing at all), so it's either so simple that we don't need to discuss it and I'm just a tubelight, hmm

[e.m.c^42]

lol I feel like a lot of people haven't really read the role details, especially recalling Jamie's comment on town not really having PRs

[e.m.c^42]

saying this again, is somewhat crackpot tinfoiling, but I feel like jamie/vecna could be muppet theatre, with one operator and one unaware participant. That style of EOD baiting on both their sides was weird, don't think I've seen it before

[e.m.c^42]

Hurray Carambola, you've come to life again

Just wondering, but do you have any particular reasons for being silent in the night? (especially considering it's decently implied for everyone to post if they can, considering there's a silencing mechanic)

actually nvm, with further reflection the only way this would work is if vecna is the one fisting jamie, the interactions don't fit properly flipped unless with a large amount of suspended belief.

Would he be cocky enough as scum to bait with his own death? imo eh, it's prolly more likely to be just scum skits than flipped lol

[Chaqa]

Oh maybe EMC is scum lol

[e.m.c^42]

Oh maybe EMC is scum lol

I'm just really relieved lmao

Well, i am trying to read this huge thread, so much happened!
Nope, i received no mp about being jailed or anything. IRL i had some problems that kept me from reading/posting.

So, a productive killing for town, and then another fallen camarade. Some people look bad over their votes and postings.

Still some reading to do

[Nephthys]

Tried to examine who out of Hosuke's town reads is likely to be the scum but that turned into circles of WIFOM.

My head hurts.

[Nephthys]

Gonna start with a ##vote Vecna

You owe us an explanation as to your voting at EOD

Who looks bad?

[Nephthys]

@Damo

Do you have anything on EMC except the policy lynch?

[Nephthys]

So Chaqa neither jailed nor killed. Hmmm

This is scummy as... You are literally questioning an un-CCed PR

[Vecna]

##Vote Tem

No other valid option today. Someone gladiate this guy

No.

Gladiates should be holstered until further notice.

They will have to be used after thumbs have gone up or down, and can be useful to make scum waste nightkills.

Bad Chaqa. Bad

[Vecna]

I should do that, yes.

let's go write something up on Neph and Percy and the rest, give me some time.

I want to say Vecna's prolly town/3p being set up, or scum thinks he may be latter and avoiding targeting him due to chances (if xorxes is town and not another alignment he actually played it off pretty well, and bought himself a good few days of survival due to scum being wary of wasting a NK), but the NK choices do feel...dunno, vecna-y or someone trying to think like him. He's the type to avoid obvious targets in order to wifom/pr hunt, and it is worth noting that he was the first to find the foodcoats nk obvious - a certain type of logic, to say.

Going off of this, assuming he isn't scum and it's intentionally planned for chaos, there's probably at least one person on scum team who can pull off the yomi levels shit like him. Out of our available pools; Neph I think, given proper motivation, is intelligent to brute-force it, and he's good enough at reading overall as well as details, rather than intuition-type. Chaqa, although kinda low effort, from getting to know him over discord, there's a type of sweet sweet ruthless analysis under the "lazy-but-not-really, just busy" skin he pulls. This probably sounds weird but his diplomacy moves make similar logic jumps as Vecna does in mafia.

rivera is another possibility, but he doesn't feel like someone who'd lead scum planning lmao.

xorxes actually, I don't think, fits this criteria - he'd be less mind games and more pragmatism.

Assuming it's not intentional, all of the above is pretty useless lol

Decent post. Id say theres two obvious other candidates for reasons you havent outlined though, but thats ok. Lets see if you can deduce that because.....

The real question is whether this is simply mafia truthposting, or actual town analysis......

[Vecna]

admitting to that was a mistake, fuck dammit, wish we could edit posts.

If it's worse than what happened IRL then I can be happy it's not that bad, if it's better than what happened IRL then you don't need to feel bad. I see you posting it as an absolute win

Yeah ok, you deserve a full explanation, going to apologize ahead of time lol

remember that Dreamland game ND also GM'd, and then brain's minigame afterwards? this stuff

So it started as shits and giggles, but then got invested into writing it and added a plot, which lead to adding angst and other issues as stress relief, and somewhat actual dedication into creating something. the plot came out...well, similar enough to your situation irl - and fucking hell man, how does one not feel awkward or vaguely guilty of being really insensitive, even though logic excuses it by the fact that I didn't know anything at the time.

So no, will not post it anytime soon, but if you want an idea of just how much time I devoted into that thing, this was part of the draft outline

Once again, for prosperities sake:

NO. Bad advise

So tentacle probing leads Ike to turn into spaghetti-monster-lover, and then he deals with some issues.

Somehow I doubt Ike is gonna hold this against you. Maybe he'd like to put it in his profile even so we can not let this interfere, and we just get eMC to play this game?

Im sorely disappointed if you think that was the best type of theatre a scumduo of us would conjure, given that context.
