Mafia: Baker Street [Game in progress]

[Mahaloth]

@Astral_Rejection

Here’s the thread you’re looking for. You might recognize the OP.

I figured it was you, but I could not find it for the life of me. And, for the record, here is what I said there and I stand by it. Firstly, sach said:

@sachertorte

I also think we should emphasize that “mafia” is strongly luck-based. We’re mainly playing a murder mystery story and “being right” and “being wrong” are largely just a matter of chance. I think this difference is why no-reveal games work in other venues. By accepting that the lynch is essentially random, it removes the angst of “being wrong.”

And I quoted that and replied by saying:

@Mahaloth

I agree entirely. In fact, I am not sure I have ever been lynched as scum for any kind of actual scum-slip or suspicious move that was actually motivated by me being on the scum team. I know, I know, someone will dig up one now, but the majority of time, I have just been lynched because of luck…or bad luck when I’m Town.

I enjoy the game a ton, though, but there is a ton of luck and not much we can do about it.

And I stick by it. Yes, scum make mistakes and so forth, but it is a huge amount of luck and I vote quite often based on “vibe”, even late game. This was nearly two years ago, folks. I even suggested resurrecting this thread over at Idleboards not that long ago to continue the discussion. I am still open to it after this game if you all like.
Anyway, I am sticking now with Astral.
