Newbie 1951 Mafia Topic

[Nexus]

Hi. You may talk here any time.

Both of you are goons

[EpicCreeper9002]

So... I'm Mafia for my first game. Yay.

Why is everything purple now?

[Nexus]

Purple = private topic. It's so as you know you're posting in the mafia topic that only you and your team mate (and me) can see. It means noone else can access it unless I give them permission.

[skitter30]

Hey, confirm goon. What's your role?

[skitter30]

@nexus would you mind putting both roles in the op?

[skitter30]

Ok so it's either cop, jk, or masons

Masons should be p easy to spot, i think. Cop and jk not that bad to work around

[EpicCreeper9002]

I am also goon. Ouch.


Thought:

I like the addition of masons, RC did a good job.

I've never played in a game with masons, will be interesting to see how it goes.

Also, hi, everyone!

Could this mean Sushi Martyr is mason? Probably not but I figured I'd point it out

[skitter30]

could be, could be

farkran is not a pr i'm *p* sure. *def* not a mason

i'm not really getting like ~mason vibes~ running through the thread, but i could be wrong

[skitter30]

this is actually the first time i haven't felt nervous about playing scum ... like ever lol

farkran's actually p townie in the exact way that teacher's pulled out

a lot of people are p townie actually

let me know if you have any questions or want help or anything, i'll do my best to help out if i can

and i'm getting some light distancng in, lmk if it's too much or if you want me to back off

[skitter30]

If we live in the cop/jk world one of us could claim the corresponding pr from column A

[skitter30]

i think menalque might be our pr
i kinda want to force him to claim

i'm p sure we don't have masons

if we have a cop i might want to fake-claim doc or something

[skitter30]

Hey, how much do you want me to defend you/try to prevent a wagon on you

I think i could probably prevent it for at least a while, but if i do that the chances of me gettibg lynched if you flip are fairly high

Or i can bus you and i can probably at least get to 3way where i may or may not get paranoia lynched

(This is all barring pr shenangans)

Idk let me know what you want, i can do either or

[skitter30]

@nexus: this might be an odd request, but can you remind epic that there's a scum pt?

not sure if that's allowed but i'm kinda getting the vibe that he may have forgotten about it

[EpicCreeper9002]

Oh oof I didn't get notifications from here

[EpicCreeper9002]

Honestly I'm very rapidly losing interest in this game... Not sure if it's worth replacing or if I should just stick it out

[skitter30]

I think u should try to stick it out!

Are you losing interest because you're getting wagoned? Because you're realizing you dont like mafia ?

I think if things are going as they are, you might get lynched today

Do u want me to try to stop it (if you flip i prob will go next)? I can probably push it off a day or two but i dont think i can until lylo

Should i bus you?

I can do either or, just let me know

[EpicCreeper9002]

I don't think forum mafia is my thing. It's just a lot of responsibility and especially reading. So much reading...

I think the way you're doing things now is fine.

If I think I'm about to get lynched (L-1) should I claim a PR? If so, which one?

[skitter30]

Ok. I've been trying to do the wishy-washy non-commital thing but as you're getting wagoned i need to pick a side (defend or push), so which way do you want me to play it?

There's 3 possible pr groups:

1. Mason-mason
2. Cop (with i think a doc fake-claim1)
3. Jk (with i think a tracker fake-claim)

If we live in universe (1) anything you claim will be a scum-claim, butyou'l out the masons (i'm p sure there arent masons tho)

If we live in (2), you're fine claiming doc, but you'll be screwed if you claim tracker, since the cop will know there isnt one

And if we live in universe (3) tracker is a safe fake-claim, and doc will get you lynched

So basically you claim doc/tracker and hope you picked thr right row of the matrix

I think it's up to how much risk you're comfortable with

[EpicCreeper9002]

I think it's a lot safer to bus me honestly.

Honestly my idea of claiming was just to out the real PR. Forgot about the whole matrix thing haha

[skitter30]

Ok

I'm going to do the bussing thing, hard, if that's alright

Claim tracker i think, if you're going to claim

[EpicCreeper9002]

Alright. I want to wait a bit longer but not too much.

I forgot to say this earlier: I have the feeling that Farkran's not claiming is indicative of a power role of some sort. Maybe they figured their wagon would die down? Then again claiming VT also does some harm to town. Just another thing to keep in mind.

[skitter30]

are you at l-1?
i'm going to place you at l-1 and/or give intent after i catch up

i'm p sure farkran is not a pr, but i could well be wrong

[skitter30]

fuck i'm not really set up to bus you rn
i spent too long fence-sitting and now everyone i'm 'scumreading' is on your wagon

[skitter30]

if i was going to bus you (well) i think it needed to be done earlier in the game

i'm not set up for it properly, if i hop on now given the current dynamics i'm p sure i ~will~ get called out on it later

i think i can spin ~not~ being on your wagon with 'lol if i were scum i would have bussed him ages ago, this wouldn't be a situation i was in if i were scum'

so um i'm not going to vote you here

this might be an awful decision

[EpicCreeper9002]

You seem to know what you're doing a whole lot better than I do. I trust whatever decision you make
