Mystery Mafia -- Game Thread

As with the reveals, I will say that I put some thought into composing the results.

Definitely preferable for you to continue playing. :slight_smile:

No, I said I found it strange you also commented that I’m a good scum player right after I told Dancecat I’d give her villager points for saying it. It read to me like an attempt to get some free villager points.

I did indeed. Town needs info.

And please. You’re one of only two cases I’ve made. I hardly “jumped all over you” just because someone claims you’re a wolf. I think my suspicions regarding you have been clear.

I have class again soon. I was going to finish my analysis of the Blaster/Inner wagon, but I’ll do that tonight now.

i’ve forgotten, why did you target me? if no one else targeted me, you’re probably the one who made me feel safe.

Pizza is like a force of nature. i imagine he behaves this way whatever alignment he might have.

I never said you jumped all over me. I mean that you jumped all over the chance to vote me before even thinking about the situation.

If you jumped all over the other one too, it’s less scummy than I thought. Why did you choose me and not NAF though?

Gnarly, confirm Silver said she received a message and you’re a mason please so I know I’m thinking of the right person.

I already had a case on you. With a claim of “wolf” on the table, I felt that your lynch has a better than average chance of killing a wolf. I have no extant case on NAF, and I’d like to review him when I get off work.

I’ve been over and over my notes for Day 2 and I don’t like these posts by Drain Bead. In the same vein as brewha, she is advocating lynching Jan just to get information even while admitting that Silver Jan might be town. Drain Bead, can your reasoning again, please?

Until I have a chance to review the posts, voting history, etc. for the three players involved, I can’t answer your first question.

In answer to your second question, if two of them die (regardless of how they flip) then we will have additional information, which will need to be factored into the equation. I didn’t think hold this hypothesis Yesterday, before the information that was revealed from last Night. It’s entirely possible that information revealed Tonight, or even later Today, will change my mind on this issue.

Here is another post that pings me now on re-read.

Normal, why not go after Drain Bead for the same reason? She actually voted for Jan before brewha and for the same reasons.

Like most times we have a slip, the explanation is more interesting than the slip itself.

First, sanga mentions that he was “embarrassed” so he didn’t post a response immediately upon seeing that he’d been called on it. As others have rightly pointed out, he could also have been waiting for the Scum to help him craft a response. I know if I were Town in that situation, I wouldn’t have waited–I’d want to try my damnedest to avoid a mislynch. I would have posted my explanation, no matter how shitty, and likely posted everything I know about my role and Night targets too, so just in case I was still mislynched, I would have given the Town all the info I had.

Second, the explanation itself is not at all what I expected it to be. IIRC, during the time that post occurred, many people had been discussing the prior game that this one is based on. I didn’t read that game, but I thought I’d seen someone mention that there were 9 Scum in it. I was expecting him to say something about conflating the two games. Of course, if I’m mistaken about my underlying assumption about the previous game, that explanation goes out the window. This one is a WIFOM situation. Are we to expect that this is the best explanation that seven people could come up with, given time to craft it? Or have they just figured he’s a lost cause, and told him not to put up a fight so that they could get cred for bussing him? I expect at least a couple of the early voters for him to be Scum; even more so if he turns out to be Scum himself.

unvote Scathach
vote sangaman

In the end, the explanation is too weak, and the related aspects of what I would expect from a Townie defense are not present. I also lend some credence to the thoeory that he shouldn’t have referred to it as a slip in his own words, but I don’t find that quite as damning as others do–sometimes you just use the same word that other people are using.

I have class. Hopefully someone can confirm what I asked earlier and we can solve whats going on with the false messages tonight and tomorrow

By that you mean a Villager that falsely discloses their alignment to their target? The same basic ability as Blaster Master, but in a Villager role?

I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see that.

Silver Jan received a message that i was a wolf. TexCat and i claimed mason. Weedy received a message that TexCat is a villager and a mason. there were other revelations but those are the ones pertinent to me.

Verrrrry interesting. I targeted myself last Night, but I never targeted Septimus.

Correct.

Also Astral did jump all over gnarly yesterDay. We had a whole long argument where I called him earthshatteringly stupid.

Can you just clarify please:

Did you receive no results from your actions, or did you receive results saying in effect “There was no apparent result from your action”?

The latter implies that your action was successful but produced no visible result, while the former gives no information at all.

I’ll have to check the last 2-3 pages of Day 1. You started showing up on someone’s radar, I empathized, and to get a head start I targeted you.

I agree with your assessment that he’ll act like this regardless of his alignment. OOG, as PizzaGuy is like a force of nature, I’d like to introduce him to Irene this weekend. She’s currently in the Caribbean but will be visiting the urban Northeast.

As I said, no response other than the glow N2, but no apparent result N1 and N0.
