Mystery Mafia -- Game Thread

No peeks, not even fakepeeks, if that’s what you’re getting at. There were times going over DanceCat’s posts yesterday (and those talking to her), that I was wondering if I was going after the wrong person in that grouping of Giraffe --> DanceCat --> NAF; this is just one reason to think I may have been.

I have no time to pull posts, but I think most of it was said yesterday by others.

Waiting to see ** Dancecat’s ** information.
A ** Dc ** DID self target Night 0 & learned this ability = (not sure @ the choice of recipient?)
B ** Dc ** not so randomly chose **Idle ** not caring if he was helped or harmed?
C They are both Wolves trying on villagers clothing?

When I get home from work tonight I’ll go back and see what Dc ‘s stand was on how/who to target blindly.

Even IF Dc self targeted they would have NO idear if it was someone else that sent that information or it was a product of anothers Night Action. AND this all hinges on IF that was the ONE Night Action that went through Night 0.
It bears more research

But I don’t have time at the moment

It was both. It was an idea that seemed good enough that I proposed it. I acted on it to show that I was offering it in good faith. If I thought it was terrible I wouldn’t have suggested it. The fact that I was thinking to try to find ideas like that to suggest was to get the town rolling along.

I suggested an idea that I thought sounded risky but had a potential high upside in order to get people reacting so I could get a better read. I don’t see how those ideas are mutually exclusive.

I hope you aren’t asking any of us to actually reveal anything. I assume you mean that we do all of this in our heads, right? I don’t think we should be revealing any Night action results (and as usual, my suggestion is too late for Idle!).

<snipped>

posting as i catch up. this i agree with. and although i know this and a buck might get you a cup of coffee. since i know that i am town then i only have to look at two. and i just got a little wiggle but want to see if it make sense of any further comments.

What makes you think Idle is even telling the truth?

I was asking others more familiar withthe game to add other roles they would assume to see.
My list merely shows what we currently know/assume
And no it was not a call for ANY kind of a claim just spitballin’ and giving others something to think about

guiri is a very strong player. your analysis is spot on regarding guiri being an elite player (and for ffs don’t let him know i said that). however, i am unsure as to the rest of your post. most poggers probably don’t know him from squat. i’d almost make the counter argument that most scum are dopers because they know how dangerouss the bastard can be. especially if he has some sort of unknown power. alas, if i had to pick a town vig guiri would be the choice.

If Idle is town then he posted what he got in the PM. If he’s scum, he knows whether dancecat is scum or not and if dancecat gets killed and flips scum then Idle’s either lying or his PM had wrong information. So we probably lynch him. If Idle dies and flips scum then we don’t really know anything about dancecat because he could be trying to cover a scum buddy or accurately reporting what he knows from dancecat not being scum. I think it’s highly unlikely that they’re two scum trying to pull a gambit. It could too easily blow up in their face.

Forgot to mention, if there’s misinformation in the PMs then it’s a Gastard game and I’m gonna take it even less seriously than I already am.

DYFC

holy fuck. i am sure guiri will be borderline intolerable for the near future.

Agreed. And I doubt **Idle **would make this play because he could easily be caught.

Agreed. This is the scenario that keeps me from believing him (although I would like to since it would be good to have a confirmed townie still in the game).

Agreed.

I know I posted it but I would be very surprised if both DC and IT are scum. It throws way too much attention on just the two of them.

I don’t believe it makes sense for Idle to lie about it regardless of his/her role.

  1. If Idle is Town, Idle would never tell us incorrect information
  2. If Idle is Scum, it wouldn’t make sense to lie as s/s because it would throw extreme skepticism on him if DC flipped scum.

Post real results. The idea is that if you’re NOT the seer, you just post any old crap.

The opposite–if you die and turn up the seer, then he’s a known wolf.

Yeah, my premise was based on if he wasn’t. Your counterargument makes sense with the info given.

However, the Silman kill still makes no sense for townies from either board to make for reasons I stated in my eyes. Do you agree with that part of my post?

I stated this at night, but I wanna say it again:

I am moving across the country either tomorrow night or Sunday morning depending on when I get off my ass and finish packing instead of playing mafia. I will be out of commission until late Monday night - Tuesday morning.

I don’t know what you guys normally do over here, but we typically try to announce we’re going to be missing an extended period of time out of courtesy.

I like it when my thought process is nearly the same as someone elses. Especially when they say it better than I did.

I also enjoyed some kindness last Night.

I’m halfway through the thread… time to take a break. Catching up 1100 posts is no easy task!

See you guys later tonight.
