Mafia Themeless Mafia-Mafia Win!

honestly nightmares is obvtown and anyone that pushes that joke is mafia

i think trundle was doing it as a joke but i've pegged bowie as scum because i'm pretty sure bowie is serious about the push

Godfather?

I just started reading the thread, I take back what I said on Uttumori (also sorry for spelling your name wrong the first time)

godfather isn't enough power for me

I assure you, I'm not having a cow. I'm just trying to be forceful. If that's coming across wrong, I'm sorry. I just don't see how they're significantly anymore vague than anyone else's, though, so I'm confused as to how to convey that I'm not scum when people are ganging up on me over what seems to me (still a novice player) to be nothing.

*any more vague

You're immediately accusing me of being scum for literally no reason (how specific do people want these answers to be? I thought this was a low-key questionnaire, not the Spanish Inquisition). Who wouldn't be a little bit defensive?

this person is bleeding town someone call an ambulance
 
I knew I would probably get chastised for not answering some of the questions, just like I do in every other game. For the questions I didn't answer, I don't feel that answering those questions provide any relevant information for later in the game like some people believe they do. There are too many things that can happen in the course of the game that completely changes how someone plays, making those questions kind of irrelevant in the bigger picture.

Looking at each question specifically, Question 3 is just asking for someone to look back and see if that's been their style in past games, and if it's not, the person who answered the question is just going to get flak for it. The question is pretty redundant, since you shouldn't have to explicitly state your play style for other people to be able to pick up flaws in it.

Question 4 isn't so much game theory as much as it is that I just don't have a preference for alignment. Take that any way you will.

Question 5 is probably the one I have the biggest problem with, and you've all already seen what can happen with Question 5. If you go out on a limb and say that somebody who posted above you is Mafia -- ESPACIALLY when it's probably their first or second post of the game -- you're already giving them a hard time, and it will end up being a source of conflict throughout the game, just because of one petty little post. Along with that, it's way too early to glean alignments just from someone's questions, which is something I stated in the last game I played here.

Other than maybe Question 4, which you can take as an answer or not in this post, I still won't answer the other questions. There's just not enough consistency in Mafia as a whole for me to even try answering Q3, and not enough information in this game so far for me to answer Q5.
 
I hesitated answering question four because I think it's a trap to try and make you say that you're Mafia. If you'd prefer to be Town, it kinda implies you're not Town. The wording is messed up.
 
I'm not doing it as a joke, I'm pushing to see her reaction and others' reactions. Anything you do in this game can be valuable. For instance if I did read Nightmares as town and tried pushing for her lynch, seeing who else jumped on that opportunity (mafia trying for an easy town lynch) would then enter my suspicions.
 
I think it'd be smart to wait for cleb to respond about skipping the questions before suspecting him but we should keep our eyes peeled

i reread this a couple times, and i don't really know how to articulate in a simple way why i find this so scummy.

maybe the best way i can put it is, your sentence shows lack of intent.

you see, it's like this:

town has motivation to press on people, the intention either to get someone lynched or to push on someone for a reaction test

but mafia do not have this intention. it's a subconscious thing. what purpose does saying something like you said serve? you're basically saying "lets give the guy a chance to respond before we suspect him" you're defending him before he even spoke. you should want him to feel suspected so that he'd form a proper response to it.

the worst case scenario being that you suspect him, he reacts in a towny way, then you change your mind. best case, he's scum and reacts in a scummy way after being pressed. there's no real harm for town in suspecting someone, and actually it's really key for the game.

basically i'm saying your sentence was empty, it had no town-intent and i think you're mafia trying to defend someone thats town to look towny.

hopefully this works coz i ain't doing it again
 
Do you guys think third parties will be a thing this game?
Dolby had an 18 player game with an SK and a Lover, so have at least 1 third party is very likely IMO

Also all of Bowie's posts are either filler or accusations, and I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing despite it being his first game so um, possibly scum? Or maybe just his playstyle but we don't know that.

Cleb, Prima, Zendal I haven't played with before but I'm sorta townleaning already for some reason so yeah

Also Luca's been pretty quiet, and IMO his posts seem a bit forced, as if he's trying too hard to sound town or something. Not much to go off atm but I'm definitely sus

Everyone else null idk later

@glow doesn't work xx
 
@glow; I didn't really mean to make a point as I was actually quoting Lani's post before when she addressed cleb. I forgot to quote her and I couldn't edit

I've only ever hosted before, so this is technically my first time.

I feel like it's too early to make assumptions about people, so I'm just trying to contribute to other people's thoughts right now.

Actually Heyden you have played with me, it was the Overwatch mafia game. I changed my username, my last username was Whiteflamingo. ^^
 
Nightmares was saying how we should let it slide about how cleb didn't answer some questions and I was saying how we should wait for his response and get an opinion off of that before completely dismissing him. So quite the opposite to what you just said

So you're basing your thoughts off other people's thoughts essentially, in which they've already made assumptions as well, do you have something to hide or do you really just have no thoughts on anyone. Do you still think Toad/Nightmares could be mafia?

oh, sorry

Wait why do we need to be sus of Toad? I'm missing something here. ?

Sorry, I have been occupied with something else so I've missed a bit.

Bowie claims to not want to make/hasn't made any assumptions, but his first post assumed that Toads was mafia

Im honestly a bit suspicious of Bowie, especially because he jumped on the thing with Lani after Apple voted her and the thing with toads.
 
The rq stated that if we HAD to, I'm not sure I'd call it hypocritical right now

I have no thoughts on anyone as of yet. I'm really just guessing at this point. If I really thought someone was Mafia, I'd have voted by now.

I thought Toad starting off the conversation was a good way to blend in with everybody else (though it was really just an excuse to answer the question I was given), and as for Nightmares, I remain suspicious.

Nobody I would vote for right now, though.
 
There are so many sides of an action.

Town action, Toad starting off a conversation to get more information and reactions from other players.

Mafia action, Toad starting off a conversation to blend in with town and be the least suspicious.
