[MAFIA] PURGATORY: A MAFIA GAME

Posts

Gourd, LockeZ, maybe you or Jeroen or someone -- the dead ringer gimmick makes it so that accidentally killing unreadable but helpful town isn't more actively harmful than killing unreadable and unhelpful town.

Alternate strategy -- magicgun the players least likely to 1) be present at EOD and 2) listen and vote correctly at EOD. Which would be newbies I guess mostly. (was gonna make a joke at YM's expense but he's not playing)
I'd rather not kill the newbies either as it gives them a chance to learn, which rules out both aneko and hunibear (though we have yet to hear from huni so thats a thing).

Not sure who I'd pick if I had to choose 3 either. Caps opening post seemed a bit careless but it probably was just forgetfulness. Lockez and cave are giving off a normal day 1 vibe for me. Jeroen seems to post more when I'm asleep so not much to go on there yet, and muffles activity is that of what I'd expect after how that last game played out. Psy is helpful but psy is always help, so normal vibes there too. Gourd I've got nothing on yet.

Overall I'd probably shoot cap first as of now, then save my other shots for later.

Psy's right though, killing helpful town doesn't hurt near as much as it would in a normal game, and I still consider myself rather inexperienced at mafia. I know people tend to get off comments from me still, but I am aiming on improving that.

It takes six to lynch. No hammer for this game.

Nah, I just picked randomly but now I have a reason, thank you. XD

Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays. A game of betrayal, where the most suspicious person is brutally murdered? How savage.

I feel like I'm on a dating show where we vie for cave's attention. But in this case we vie for power. I like it.


This post feels weird to me as this is not only behaviour, but also an exact scumhunting strategy CAVE has used multiple times in the past, and Gourd should be aware of that.

Yes, I am aware that cave uses this as a scum hunting strategy.

Then I don't understand your comment.

A fair warning already, I'll be a bit pressed for time the coming days, and with all of us being tree stumps there is no real pressure to be as active as possible while you still can, so I'm not going to be as invested in this game as I was in the last. I'll be around though.

The way I see it, dead players are more valuable than live ones, since they can still post but are confirmed. So I don't really care who we kill right now. Maybe Cave, since confirmed Cave would be a very valuable asset for town, and dead scum Cave even moreso. So far, nothing's jumped out to me as scummy yet.

Apparently, because of RMN's security, HuniBear hasn't been allowed to post because she's reached her limit. If she doesn't post by the end of the day phase, it may be necessary to postpone the game. I mean, it's one thing if she's late, or inactive, but if it's RMN's security, that's totally not her fault.

It's almost like Gourd wants to get lynched again.

See, this is the Cave we all know and love. I was wondering where he was last game.


Not Cave we fear? I know he's usually coming with various gimmicks, but calling everyone scum isn't something I love him for.
Something's wrong about that assumption.

This is a good point, tho. Ok, you know him better than I.

I noticed something, Muffle's posts are short.

Yeah, the one sentence posts are definitely a very different style from her fluffy posts last game.

Should we really be giving guns out when it's likely the murderer is among us? That's just asking for a killing spree. We should try and be more logical about this to prevent any more deaths.


author=Muffle
Gourd is acting real suspicious cracking all those jokes and trying to suspect everyone. Trying to accuse Ozzy for roleplaying and LockeZ for saying not to accuse everyone on day one.

I vote to lynch Gourd as well.

I wasn't trying to egg others on I legit forgot. T.T And I can't edit my post.

So me pointing out my reasons for suspecting Gourd is considered egging people on? And just because I forgot to put it in bold that makes me suspicious? That's kind of strange.

Hmm, I was thinking of her posts the last few day phases she was alive last game. But going by those posts you just quoted I guess her posts were shorter at the beginning of the game last game too.

i think we should kill me so i become confirmed town

alternately i think nobody but me should ever vote
LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Cavedog is good at figuring out who's town and who's scum, but bad about sharing that information with the class. Maybe if we kill him he'll actually be forced to share for once. In the past he's also been one of the few players who very consistently keeps paying full attention to the game while in dead chat, whereas a lot of other people often lose interest about a day after dying.

I actually like this plan.

I would let her interact little more.

The problem with Cave is that its usually quite difficult to tell if he's town or mafia. So, I would lynch him, if our doubts are big enough. The other option we should consider is to scumhunt with our votes. That would give us more information about wagons. But dead and confirmed Cave is def more valuable that any other ghost.

I can imagine wolves not wanting to have a confirmed Cave around, so tham pushing against this a reading him town for everything could be interesting.

What's even more interesting are night kills as they're essentially pro-town. I guess piano did somethin to balance it out like adding an extra wolf.
My read so far is:

Scum read:
LockeZ is scum, he faked a moderator degree and anyone willing to go that far could never mean good.
Aneko is scum, editing her post is the most scummy thing to do.

Leans on Scum:
Cap might be scum, look at that profile picture...
Gourd might be scum, he even admitted to being a Xoe! gasp!
Jeroen_Sol might be scum, pointing out small things that do not matter, scummy.

Leans on Town:
demonlord tryin' to be helpful
psy seems towny

Town:
HuniBear not a biased read but she would never betray me

I don't know much about Cave??

---

As you can tell I'm joking, I'm in a playful mood today and last time I got a little too into it and took it a bit too seriously :P

All joking aside though, I don't like to make random lynches in hopes of hitting scum but it seems impossible to avoid this on day one. The problem with this game is that we're not so worried about hitting town because they'll still be here as ghosts to help, so we're not worried about being extra helpful. This doesn't give us a good reason to go lynching off the nearest person though...
so we're not worried about being extra helpful.


careful* not helpful.
