MAFIA 79: The Price is Right! [GAME THREAD]

[Bonatogether]

If you're gonna be like that I guess it can be uncountably large.

you're complimenting eden here in a way i don't think you intended

I was trying to own him but you wouldn't play along so now here we are.

i don't get it

[President Eden]

Just know that I’ve sat on so many burns because I don’t actually know ghug’s family situation

[Bonatogether]

you're such a wholesome person eden

[ghug]

I was trying to own him but you wouldn't play along so now here we are.

i don't get it

I goaded you into explaining the difference between less and fewer so that I could say Eden's IQ points were uncountable but then you tried to make it about me again so now it's a compliment instead.

[Bonatogether]

i still don't get it

[ghug]

i still don't get it

Nurture over nature, I guess.

[President Eden]

you're such a wholesome person eden

thank you my son

[Chaqa]

Eden is a paragon

[KoalaAttack]

Koala - bizarrely kept on sweet which was going nowhere. Smacks of not wanting to be on the TvT top wagons. Highly suspicious imo.

Conclusions: Koala is the most suspicious but anybody could be scum.

I think we should kill either Bona or Koala tomorrow unless the NK sheds light.

This is interesting work and I would to see Koala's response.

I was checked out of the game without Peterbot, was literally going to suicide – until Foxcastle came along and talked me out of it. To answer Eden's question to sweetandcool (didn't want to interfere with that earlier) – I had Foxcastle as very Town for suggesting a legitimately more-helpful course of action in lieu of my original suicide one.

I did not plan my yesterday around EOD in a game I was not invested in. Then Peterbot came back, and I voted sweetandcool with a proper case and enough time left for folks to act – and got pulled into meetings.

Checked in just before EOD as promised, saw a runaway Foxcastle wagon, went *shrug* and back to my meetings.


Jamiet – now that I answered, would you please summarize your case on Damo & Snowy? I am not being facetious, I'd like to understand better.

[KoalaAttack]

Also given that damo666 sounds like a very good Barlog name, I am super happy to make tomorrow Koala vs Damo wagon race in the depth of Moria if I make it through the night.

this makes no sense - you voted sweetandcool over a case that as far as i understand it, was very related to foxcastle's case, and then you said shrug to a runaway foxcastle wagon?

Oh really??? How interesting...

Hi Bona – here is my original case on sweenandcool for your convenience – please be so kind as to point out what this has to do with Foxcastle?

OMG the magic of the Peterbot is back!

Hooray thank you Peter! What are those elder god people who gave Gandalf their powers called again? Google tells me Valar. Anywho you are one of those, a Valar!

##VOTE sweetandcool


because this is a confession of knowing how to play Mafia coupled with alleged incredulity of "why are people fixated on my supposed newness?":

I find it interesting that you keep harping on my status as a newbie. If your definition of new is absolutely never playing a game of Mafia, then you are correct that I am not new. Am I experienced? Certainly not. I've played a few games on BGA, but as the new player, I was frequently voted off D1.

which would be all fine and well, except for these:


(1) sweetandcool from the Sign Up thread:

What is "sus"? Did you mean "SOS"?

And will there be a new thread tomorrow for chat? Just want to make sure I'm not missing a Discord, a QT, or something else.


(2)

Howdy all! So are we just waiting for somebody to die? Is it the day right now? What type of town do we live in? A nice country village, big city, campground, etc? I imagine if we are dealing with some mafia goons then we are probably in the big city.

##vote sweetandcool

don't worry about it man

I really don't know the slang; this is my first time playing with y'all. It's frustrating not understanding what you are saying.

So to summarize:

- sweetandcool played Mafia before
- sweetandcool seems like a very smart and capable person given the general language & logic of their posts
- sweetandcool is clearly willing to pun in the effort to post so many responses
- I am sure sweetandcool is familiar with Google to find the MafiaScum website (which I successfully did back during my first game, for instance)

- this leads me to conclude that sweetandcool is intentionally singing the song "oh I'm so new, I really have no clue"
- seems like a familiar strategy...
- oh wait, that's exactly what MafiaKoala did that one game rdrivera referred to!

- and then is it really surprising folks fixate on your supposed newness after all of the above you posted?
- hmmm....

Suspicious!

PS: I would have not voted for a genuinely new player on D1 regardless (paying forward the karma and all that) – but I don't feel that someone merely new to this site but not the game warrants similar protections, sorry mate!

Very, very suspicious from Bona.

[KoalaAttack]

My case on sweetandcool has to do with sweetandcool overplaying pretend-newbie hand and pretending to not know things they later confessed to know, repeatedly.

Not like Bona to completely mis-read something like this.

Is Bonatogether a good name for a Barlog?

Very, very suspicious from Bona.

frankly your case is lame

also, it seems evident to me that because you refused to make a read or significantly participate in the game until other people had gone ahead and done some work already, your lame case is indicative of that you were trying to freeride onto a real active townie's case in a way that obscures your own lack of critical thinking and solving effort

your literal reading of what i said is just dodging what i meant

Fine so my case is lame in your opinion. That's not the point. The point is my case was not about Foxcastle.

Frankly to me this seems like Bona first trying to mis-represent my case to line up a MK, and then when I call Bona out on it switching tack on "your case is lame".

I stand by this is extremely Suspicious.

I think Bona is Mafia together with sweenandcool.

[KoalaAttack]

Correction/clarification – Bona could also be Mafia stand-along if sweetandcool is Townie. Still makes sense to mis-represent my case for a MK and even earn some brownie points if sweetandcool flips first in that case.

I just think Bona is very suspicious here regardless of sweetandcool's alignment.

Hey, funboys, get a room.

[Jamiet99uk]

Just know that I’ve sat on so many burns because I don’t actually know ghug’s family situation

If you ever find out, please tell his mom.

i never said your case was about foxcastle. i said it was reliant on him because if he didn't go out on a limb to make a case and get momentum in the direction he wanted, i don't believe you would have the spine to come out with such a weak case.

why do you say it was suspicious? demonstrate why scum bona is more likely to call you out than town bona

we'll see if you actually vote that
